Meditation begins when the effort required to concentrate gives way to a steady flow of attention. The approach to meditation requires some expenditure of energy like an airplane on the runway that builds speeds and energy to the point of lift off. Meditation is above the clouds of thought.

When you realize the distinction between effort and intention you have discovered one of the keys to success. Train yourself to work first in consciousness before springing into action. Establish your goal in mind and open yourself to possibility.

The sure indication of spiritual progress is the positive transformation of character. Visions, ecstasies, and philosophical insights that do not make us more compassionate, peaceful, and trustworthy people are just fireworks that fizzle.

Keep the goal of God realization ever in the background of your mind. Let it provide a litmus test for all you seek to do. Will your choice support your goal of spiritual awakening? Choose the way that ever leads toward the light of truth.

People worry: What should I do in life? What is my right work? But the question of who or what I am is the one that ultimately reveals right action. Dharma, or the way of righteousness, is the natural expression of who we are. Know that.

Realizing God as the all powerful, all knowing, everywhere and at all times present Single Reality, the truly faithful do not make petitions. Asking of God is only a bridge. One may use a bridge to reach the farther shore but once across, leaves the bridge behind.
