To remove problems from your life,
to get rid of unhappy situations,
to remove fears frustrations, you do exactly the same thing.
You do not try to change a condition
by working on the level of conditions.
Do not try to change bad for good, evil for happiness,
for you're working at an ego level.
Rather turn away from both terms.
Let go of both situations,
the good and the bad, the happy and the sad.
Turn from it. Turn to the source, the source of all existence.
And you will find that the situations resolve themselves.
For the source is total harmony, total peace and total love.
The source is God, consciousness, pure awareness.
This is what you've always been but somehow you got lost
in the shuffle, and you think you're a human being.
You think you're limited to your body.
You've been brought up this way with that kind of thinking.
Your schools, your churches, your environment,
your parents have emphasized the fact that you're limited.
You can only go so far.
But I say to you, you're totally unlimited,
you have no circumference anywhere.
You are space. Space is maintained by consciousness.
You are really all over the place.
You're falling apart.
The atoms that you're made out of are not permanent.
You turn this way and you turn that way, you go in all directions
and there is big spaces between the atoms.
Just like everything else in this world.
You're simply a part of all things.
All things are a part of you.
You are wonderful, made in the image of God, but what God?
The God that you created in your mind.
So if your God is a good God
then you think of yourself as a good person.
If your God is a santa clause, God who lives in the sky,
with a long beard that you pray for things to give you things,
the anthropomorphic type of a God saying,
"God I need this, I want this.
Please let me have this," whatever God you believe in
you become. You become the God that you worship.
Or should you worship a God at all?
If you believe that you're an ego or a human being
that is blown around like a leaf, then you should worship a God.
For you have to turn to someone, you have to turn somewhere.
But if you realize that God is within yourself,
if you understand that you are the God that you've been worshipping all these years, it's a whole new ball game.
For you stop worshipping and you start meditating.
By meditating I mean you keep still. You become quiet.
You no longer need use words.
As the mind becomes quiescent, as the thoughts subside,
the divine harmony which has always been
appears to awaken within you.
You become radiantly happy for no reason.
You become totally peaceful for no reason.
You gravitate to the place that you're supposed to be.
The right people come into your life
who are supposed to be in your life.
Everything happens by itself. You need not do anything.
