Every day, spiritual life presents a question: What should I rely on for happiness and security? We can choose the world with the material or emotional support it promises or Spirit—the invisible, infinite support. Spiritual insight reveals which is truly reliable.

Using a mantra or prayer word allows us to channel our energy toward our divine nature. When negative mind states arise, such as anxiety, anger, or fear, we can use the energy of these emotions positively by introducing the mantra into the mental field. The “fire” or energy of the emotion then becomes a transforming fire instead of a destructive fire.
