Monday: The more we fill our lives with unnecessary possessions and activities that divert our attention away from truth, beauty, and goodness, the more meaningless our lives become. In the world’s eyes, giving up the chase for more, bigger, and better is utter foolishness. We can never get enough of what we do not need.
Tuesday: We are living in a world that is perpetually upset and in conflict. Though there might be many intermediate solutions to our suffering, the ultimate and fundamental solution to our discontent is simple: we must ground ourselves in a transcendental consciousness, that is, in God-Consciousness.
Wednesday: Whether we realize it or not, we are presented with choices at every moment of our existence. What are we going to focus on? What is captivating our attention? What is the energetic force we are internalizing?
Thursday: Given the truth that God created the world, Valentin Tomberg tells us, “Love is the source, cause, and motivation of the creation of the world.” As long as love is not our motivation, we will be unable to create positive change in the world and in our lives.
Friday: Most of us can agree that the goal of the spiritual life is the love of God and neighbor. But we must understand that if love were always easy we would not call it love; we would call it like. Put another way, a good life is not necessarily an easy life.
