Happiness is unavoidable when we seek the happiness of others. It is always elusive when we seek it for ourselves alone.

The “airplane route” to patience is to go directly to divine remembrance through devotion and meditation. The slower “foot path” is the cultivation of the virtues. We can dwell in the higher true Self through divine remembrance or we can work to reduce the self-serving motives of ego—either way is useful.

Trying to find security and happiness in outer conditions in life is like tying your raft to a log careening in the same rapids. Anchor the raft of your life on the rock of Self realization.

Avoiding what we know is not useful for conscious living is a step toward grace. Grace has no requirements; it is universally and abundantly available. With self-discipline we open ourselves to its influence.
