When you misuse the facilities given by God, all your wealth, power, and position will become meaningless. Since you are caught up in the mire of trivial worldly pursuits, you are unable to realise the infinite principle. If you return harm for harm, how can you be called a good man? Only by returning good for evil can you elevate yourself to a higher state. There are plenty of issues to be concerned about in today’s world. And though concern is admirable, concern alone doesn’t accomplish much. For each topic that worries you, ask yourself something. What exactly can you do about it? If you are able to come up with an answer, that’s great. Instead of unproductive worrying, you can apply your energy in a beneficial direction. If you determine there is nothing you can do, that is also a good thing to know. Because you can then direct your time, your thoughts, and your actions into other places where you can make a difference. To discard maya and escape from its shadow, you have to walk the Sun-wards. Then the shadow will fall behind you. When the Sun (the source of reason and Intelligence) climbs higher and higher, the shadow becomes shorter and smaller. Until at last, when he is right on top, the shadow crouches at your feet, surrendering to you; you can trample on it. You accomplish nothing by fretting over situations that are completely beyond your control. And what’s worse, it can lead you into a spiral of frustration, helplessness, anger, and despair. Instead, identify what you actually can do, and devote yourself to doing it. That’s a whole lot better for your world, and for you as well. As you think so you are. What ever you think you can do, what ever you think you can become, what ever you think you can have, is yours. Unless you doubt it. Your thoughts have the power to become reality, only to the degree they are free from doubt. Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality. It’s a very simple equation. When your goals are strong and highly focused, and your doubts small by comparison, that leads to success. If your doubts are bigger than your goals, watch out! To conquer doubt, we must act as if there is no doubt. Of what use it to repeat your goals every morning, then spend the rest of the day living as they will never be a reality? Doubts are strong and persistent. You can’t simply Think them away… You must Act them away.
