Self-interest disturbs the mind, causing it to constantly measure and compare. Selflessness brings peace of mind.

Thoughts are seeds that blossom and reseed themselves, perpetuating a particular consciousness. Those who are spiritually awake are careful gardeners, planting seeds of faith and peace.

When we are steadfast in our devotion to God and our daily spiritual practice, we find shelter from the turbulence of the world. Intermittent practice leaves us vulnerable to the changing currents of nature within and around us.

Time is an endless, rushing stream. Some people spend their energy trying to beat it or control it; others resign themselves to being beaten by it. But some use the raft of Superconscious meditation to cross over the river of time to the shore of eternity.

The law of karma is perfect and exact. Our selfishness always returns to us to wound us. Our violence always returns to us to harm us. In the same way, our selflessness, our acts of love, return to bless us. And our kindness always comes back to us.

Patience is a state of readiness in which we make ourselves available for grace to move through us. It is the willingness to cultivate even-mindedness and peace, regardless of what is going on or what others are doing. It requires the capacity to see clearly and accept what is without arguing with reality.
