When one awakens to wisdom there is no longer fluctuation in the mind-the discriminating activity of intellect is put to rest and only the pure stability of wisdom remains. One is free from the restlessness of "should I or shouldn't I?" Pure action arises spontaneously from clear seeing.

Identifying with thoughts and experiences is the habit of ego which then creates attractions and aversions to maintain its identity. Notice the tendency to superimpose "I, me, mine" on life. Let it go and take a step toward freedom.

Happiness and sorrow are both reflections of internal states. Nothing outside of us can cause these. If things, people, or situations could cause happiness or sorrow, then everyone would perceive it the same way, but what brings happiness to one person may bring sorrow to another.

Thought activity is directly related to diet--what we eat and how we eat it. Honor the body temple so that the soul's radiance may shine through a pure mind.

There are two kinds of thoughts-those that take us into bondage by shoring up the sense of separate self, and those that return awareness to rest in the unity of the True Self. The first kind ultimately brings suffering, the second, joy.
