Happiness Is Your Nature. It Is Not

You Are The Supreme Being, And Yet Thinking Yourself To Be Separate From It, You Strive To Become United With It. What Is Stranger Than This?

In Accordance With The Prarabdha Of Each, The One Whose Function It Is To Ordain Makes Each To Act. What Will Not Happen Will Never Happen, Whatever Effort One May Put Forth. And What Will Happen Will Not Fail To Happen, However Much One May Seek To Prevent It. This Is Certain. The Part Of Wisdom Therefore Is To Stay Quiet.

Whenever A Thought Arises, Instead Of Trying Even A Little Either To Follow It Up Or To Fulfil It, It Would Be Better To First Enquire, "to Whom Did This Thought Arise?"

Keep The Remembrance Of Your Real Nature Alive, Even While Working, And Avoid Haste Which Causes You To Forget. Be Deliberate. Practice Meditation To Still The Mind And Cause It To Become Aware Of Its True Relationship To The Self Which Supports It. Do Not Imagine That It Is You Who Are Doing The Work. Think That Is The Underlying Current Which Is Doing It. Identify Yourself With The Current.

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.
