Peace is at hand. Just be simple, the same inside and outside. Be honest, open, and love God so that you can truly love your fellow beings. Anchor yourself to your true Self and you will see that joy and peace are just in your hands. Stay on that one point: your Source, Spirit, Light, Consciousness. See that everything you do enhances your consciousness. That is the way life should be, not to go astray to accumulate or progress, but to raise your consciousness. No position or power that you cling to will ever give you peace or protect you at times of loss, of separation, of sadness or disease. But if you love God and if you truly love others, you will have consolation and tenderness inside, an assurance that nothing can trouble you. Therefore I love simplicity at the cost of anything else because it hurts no one and gives us peace.”
