Worry Is Spiritual Short Sight... Its Cure

He Is Beginning To Master Wisdom When He Tries To Learn How Not To Try.

If You Investigate The Matter Deeply Enough And Widely Enough, You Will Find That Happiness Eludes Nearly All Men Despite The Fact That They Are Forever Seeking It. The Fortunate And Successful Few Are Those Who Have Stopped Seeking With The Ego Alone And Allow The Search To Be Directed Inwardly By The Higher Self. They Alone Can Find A Happiness Unblemished By Defects Or Deficiencies, A Supreme Good Which Is Not A Further Source Of Pain And Sorrow But An Endless Source Of Satisfaction And Peace.

Outwardly One's Life May Suffer Every Kind Of Limitation, From Bodily Paralysis To Miserable Surroundings, But Inwardly It Is Free In Meditation To Reach Out To A Sphere Of Light, Beauty, Truth, Love, And Power.

When Spiritual Seeking Becomes Too Complicated, Its Exercies Too Elaborated, Its Doctrines Too Esoteric, It Becomes Also Too Artificial And The Resulting Achievements Too Fabricated. It Is The Beginners And Intermediates Who Carry This Heavy And Unnecessary Burden, Who Involve Themselves To The Point Of Becoming Neurotics.

While The Mind Remains So Fixed In Its Own Personal Affairs, Be They Little Or Large, It Has No Chance To Open Up Its Higher Levels. When Attention And Emotion Are Kept So Confined, The Chance They Offer Of This Higher Use Is Missed. The Peace, Truth, And Goodness Which Could Be Had Are Untouched.
