Is It The World That Says I

Grace Is Always Present. You Imagine It As Something High In The Sky, Far Away, Something That Has To Descend. It Is Really Inside You, In Your Heart. When The Mind Rests In Its Source, Grace Rushes Forth, Sprouting As From A Spring Within You.

You Impose Limits On Your True Nature Of Infinite Being. Then You Get Displeased To Be Only A Limited Creature. Then You Begin Spiritual Practices To Transcend These Non-existing Limits. But If Your Practice Itself Implies The Existence Of These Limits, How Could They Allow You To Transcend Them.

Willpower Should Be Understood To Be The Strength Of The Mind, Which Makes It Capable Of Meeting Success Or Failure With Equanimity. It Is Not Synonymous With Certain Success. Why Should One's Attempts Always Be Attended By Success? Success Breeds Arrogance And Man's Spiritual Progress Is Thus Arrested. Failure, On The Other Hand, Is Beneficial, Inasmuch As It Opens His Eyes To His Limitations And Prepares Him To Surrender Himself. Self Surrender Is Synonymous With Eternal Happiness.

The Normal Self Is The Mind. The Mind Is With Limitations. But Pure Consciousness Is Beyond Limitations, And Is Reached By Investigation Into The "i."

Non-action Is Unceasing Activity. The Sage Is Characterized By Eternal And Intense Activity. His Stillness Is Like The Apparent Stillness Of A Fast Rotating Gyroscope.
