Remember, you are not so miserable as you have made yourself out to be. You are God, too, and cultivating this constant awareness within you will help keep you from false attachments, from identifying yourself with your body, mind, and senses. So you must say to yourself, “Body, mind, and senses are mine, but they are not me, for I am that eternal flame which is not subject to change, death, and decay.” This awareness should always be with you.

To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention.

When you do things in the right way, at the right time, everything else will be organized.
