With faith we understand that divine will is already accomplished. There is no struggle to accomplish. There is only the necessary work of showing up completely and removing whatever obstacles are there.

One who stands on the steady ground of faith in God is not driven by the reactions arising from likes and dislikes. The even-mindedness that comes from faith brings freedom.

In the beginning of sadhana, spiritual practice may be intermittent. With dedication and perseverance, practice becomes steady, an integral part of each day. Through self-discipline and God’s grace, one’s life begins to turn to God completely. Like a pilgrim circling the Kaaba, Self-realization is the center of all one thinks, says, and does.

Any time we come to our meditation practice for some reason—to find peace, to get enlightened, or to solve a problem—it is contrary to the true spirit of meditation. Such thoughts are about the future. Meditation is now, a radical return to joy now.

In any moment, we can return to joy by moving from our head to our heart—from ego-centered thought (I, me, mine) to the deeper center of being. Practice divine communion and know God is your life.
