- Good and Evil
In personal worldly life, the seeds of good are contained in evil in the form of remorse, repentance, etc.. The seeds of evil are contained in good in the form of conceit, self-righteousness etc. So we swing from one to the other.
- "I"
To Moses the Lord said "I am".
He being the One without a second did not need a Name.
Since then "I" has been deified and the capital letter used.
Now, when you use "I", you are truly referring to that "I".
- Meditation
Purpose of meditation: growing in His image.
It is wrong to say that we do not know how to meditate and be oblivious of the outside world.
Everyone does some form of daily contemplation on something he intensely loves - only it is not God.
If the child or the beloved one is away and sick, one often enters the " meditative" mood.
- Optimist
Do you say the cup is half full or half empty.
The answer determines whether you are an optimist or pessimist.
- Ego
One need not even be anxious to be an instrument in God's Hands. In fact, everyone is an instrument in His hands; for, nothing but His Will is done in this world in any case. But our mission is to realise this truth. In order to do so, the only thing that is essential is to keep the ego out of the way. When the ego is out of the way, there is no anxiety even to do His will. It is done.
