"The infinite way" by Joel S. Goldsmith is the most presciuos literature for advaita Yoga on the basic of Christianity in the west" :
Joel wrote: (p.63 - 64)
When we think of ourselves, let us forget our so-called humanhood and human qualities and try to understand what we represent as consciousness and then realize that that consciousness which is expressing itself as us is likewise maintaining and prospering us and our endeavors.
Failure often comes through the belief that we express God, or Life, or Intelligence; or that we express God-qualities. This is never true.
God, Consciousness, is forever expressing Itself and Its qualities.
Consciousness, Life, Spirit, can never fail.
Our task is to learn to relax and let our Soul express itself.
Egotism is the attempt to be or do something through either personal, physical, or mental effort.
To "take no thought" is to refrain from conscious thinking and to let divine ideas fill our consciousness.
Since we are individual spiritual Consciousness, we can always trust that Consciousness to fulfill Itself and Its mission.
We are the spectator or witness of this divine activity of Life expressing and fulfilling Itself.
|
More and more we must become the spectator or witness.
We must become the beholder of Life and Its harmonies.
Each morning we should awaken with eagerness to watch the new day unfolding and revealing each hour new joys and victories.
Several times each day we should consciously realize that we are witnessing the revelation of Life eternal, the unfolding of Consciousness and Its infinite expression, the activity of Spirit and Its grand formations.
In every situation of our daily experience, let us learn to stand back of ourselves and see God at work, witness the play of Love upon our affairs, and watch God reveal Himself in all those about us.
*** Each morning we should awaken with eagerness to watch the new day unfolding and revealing each hour new joys and victories.
(p. 64)
