We all have hints that there is more to us, more to life—something greater, vaster, richer, and more profound. This inclination to look for “something more” is the soul seeking to realize itself. Be like a miner following a vein of gold; follow that inclination to its source.

Refuge is always at hand. By letting go of the idea that we are separate from the One, we find shelter from any storm. The winds of worries and fears cannot enter the soul’s fortress of peace.

The soul is already blissful. Our urge to find and experience lasting happiness is our yearning to actualize our innate joy—to know it, live it, and realize it. Why keep looking outside for the happiness that is within?

Divine grace opens us to the direct experience of spiritual power and presence. We know grace when we experience it because we feel it as awe, a fullness that renders us momentarily speechless. We feel blessed, healed, expanded, lifted. The experience of grace is grace.

When we realize that what we are looking for is within us, we can focus on how to express what we are rather than on trying to find something that we have never lost or trying to be someone we are not.

Spiritual surrender not only gives us support but also offers us delight. Through surrender, we consciously enter God’s Lila—life’s divine play that exists for the sake of joy. We are not separate from that joy, but it takes surrender to realize it.

What difference does it make to recognize the innate power of the soul? It brings us the gift of understanding that we have the power within us to be free. The power to be happy. The power to know whatever we desire to know.
