Every second of every day you are praying. The thoughts in your head, your emotional state, and the quality of your heart send a resonance out into the infinite that bounces back in kind. There is not a thing put before you that hasn’t somehow been long in the works. One gets discipline when they learn it is in their own best interest.

Osho said that when you harm another first you must harm yourself. One of the most important practices to undertake is that of being non-reactive. Most of the ills in the world come from a chain reaction of events one begetting the other. That is the deeper meaning of Jesus’ turn the other cheek. Someone has to break the cycle.

If you believe yourself to be of a spiritual nature then the onus is on you to be the difference maker. Many people are oblivious to the currents of energy that flows all around and through us. It is up to us to ground the energy and live the example that others can see. The more difficult the situation, the more important the practice.

It is easy to surround yourself with those of like mind and continue to reinforce in each other your predispositions. Beware! This is incredibly dangerous if your true goal is self-realization. Many get so blown away by their early psychic perceptions that they think they have already arrived. The Tao winds on even if you decide to stop.

Often the subtle is far more effective a witnessing to the stupendous than the overt. Shout to someone who is not quite ready and they might run or worse close their doors to the magnificent. Being kind, making friends, and speaking in a language that others can understand will far more likely achieve the desired results of the Lord’s work.
