PEACE IS AT HAND.
JUST BE SIMPLE, the same inside and
outside. Be honest, open, and love God so that you can truly love your fellow
beings. Anchor yourself to your true Self and you will see that joy and peace
are just in your hands. Stay on that one point: your Source, Spirit, Light,
Consciousness. See that everything you do enhances your consciousness. That is
the way life should be, not to go astray to accumulate or progress, but to raise
your consciousness. Judge everything by this one factor: does my way of life—my
relationships, my surroundings, my work and recreation—help in raising my
consciousness? If materially that gives you much—or less—it does not matter
because you are doing the best you can do. But if your pattern of living or any
aspect of it degrades or corrupts or weakens your consciousness, then that is
not the right path for you. If raising consciousness is our criterion for
living, life will be heaven. Then if you have excess money, gold or
buildings, it does not matter. |
To work for our needs is okay but not for wants. This may sound like
non-modern or anti-progress language, but you will come to understand this
truth in the years to come. Nothing that we call progress will ever protect
us. No position or power that you cling to will ever give you peace or
protect you at times of loss, of separation, of sadness or disease. And at
that time you will also see that your self-image will not save you. But if
you love God and if you truly love others, you will have consolation and
tenderness inside, an assurance that nothing can trouble you. Therefore I
love simplicity at the cost of anything else because it hurts no one and
gives us peace. |
