Any time we come to our meditation practice for some reason—to find peace, get enlightened, or solve a problem—it is contrary to the true spirit of meditation. Such thoughts are about the future. Meditation is now—a radical return to unconditional joy.

We can return to joy at any moment by moving from our head to our heart—from ego-centered thought (I, me, mine) to the deeper center of being. Practice divine communion by remembering God is your life.

Faith is necessary. The spiritual way of life requires us to swim against the current of conformity. This conventional message says that material possessions, fame, and relationships will bring us happiness and security. We must seek another way. Break free from this illusion by believing it is possible.

When we return our conscious awareness to our ever-present spiritual nature, we partake of the joy that the conscious contact with God brings. Joy is the link between God and the soul.

Release the false sense of self as the owner of things or the doer of actions. Realize that life is a play of consciousness in which the separate self is an illusion. Only one Absolute Reality exists.

When our life is out of balance—too much food, sleep, action, or inaction—the body and mind become occupied with attempting to regain equilibrium. Balance releases the energy necessary to focus dynamically and achieve success.
