Every day the spiritual life presents a question: On what will you rely for happiness and security? We can choose the world with the material or emotional supports it promises or we can choose Divine Consciousness, the invisible infinite support. Many reach for what appears to be the sure thing of the world only to discover it is ultimately unreliable.

Reliance on God is accomplished by continually turning the mind and heart toward divine remembrance and in so doing, letting go of dependence on worldly supports. We cannot depend on both.

The use of a mantra, or prayer word, allows us to channel our energy toward our divine nature. When negative mind states arise such as anxiety, anger, or fear we can use the energy of these emotions in a positive way through introducing the mantra into the mental field. The “fire” or energy of the emotion then becomes a transforming fire instead of a destructive fire.

Self-realization, to know directly God as the true Self, is the bridge that connects the wisdom of all the world’s religions. This is the Yugadharma, the law or duty, specific to the 21st Century.

The joy of service becomes a burden whenever we are attached to the outcome or imagine ourselves as the doer.

Don’t look for solutions to problems in meditation. Rest in spiritual consciousness beyond problems, where only divine harmony exists. From that consciousness divine guidance will come.
