Like a mother who gives her child the toy he believes will bring him happiness, the spiritual teacher may assist devotees with their karma by helping them fulfill certain desires. Just as the mother knows the toy will soon be cast aside, so the teacher sees the student's steps before they are taken.

Insecurity is created whenever we attempt to hold onto that which changes. Only God does not change. Hold onto God with your heart's remembrance.

Correction from one's spiritual teacher strikes a painful blow to the ego. With surrender, that pain turns to joy. Without it, the pain becomes chronic.

Consciousness is our life. When consciousness abides primarily in the senses, our life energy is dissipated in sensory stimulation, the stirring of mental activity, and the pursuit of desires. When consciousness abides in the soul and sensory input is regulated by the will, our life energy grows stronger each day.
