Human suffering is not a sign of God’s anger with mankind. It is a sign, rather, of man’s ignorance of the divine law.
*******
Whatever we did in the past we can undo. All we need now is the right determination, born of our increasing inner freedom.
*******
To feel sorry for yourself is to dilute one’s inner power to overcome. Instead, affirm, There are no obstacles: There are only opportunities!
*******
The more we live guided from within, the greater our control over outer events in the great game of life. For when we live at our own center, in superconsciousness, we live in the only true freedom there is.
*******
Perfect surrender to God’s will is not in any way passive. Great will power and great concentration are needed to attune the mind perfectly.
*******
To do everything in the world to please God is the highest ideal. With God in your heart, let your face smile and your hands work ungrudgingly for Truth alone.
*******
It is best to feel by visualization and by divine contact in meditation that you are already perfect in health, wisdom and abundance, rather than to try to succeed by begging for health, prosperity, and wisdom.
*******
Once the ego has been transcended in soul-consciousness, the realm of karmic law is transcended also. The soul remains forever unaffected, for karmic consequences accrue only to the ego.
