Our spiritual practice allows us to see with fresh eyes. Seeing clearly is seeing things and people as they are, not as we hope or think they should be.

A common error is to see through the filter of our memory and superimpose the past on the present. Removing that conceptual overlay is one of the goals of yoga practice. To be spiritually awake is to see things as they are, not as we are.

Life is an ongoing expression of our moment-to-moment choices. How we think, speak, and act any moment influences the next. When we learn to live with a higher purpose in harmony with universal principles that support the well-being of all, our consciously lived moments flow together into a life well-lived.

The shift in perspective that occurs when we realize what we are looking for is already within us makes all the difference. Understanding the purpose of meditation and spiritual practices supports our motivation to do them regularly. We still work at it, but without egoic striving to be good, better, or more spiritual.

The results of our spiritual practice are consistent with our focus. It is not how hard we work at it, but how focused we are and how intentionally we live.

Life is eternal. It goes on with or without our recognition or cooperation. When we recognize this gift and consciously embrace it, God can be God in and through us. "In us" is given. "Through us" requires our cooperation.
