BE IN CHARGE OF YOU
     Here’s a practical assignment for you. The next time you’re out to lunch with someone, why don’t you walk into the room with the spiritual determination and decision that you’re going to know you're opening the door of the café. Your physical eyesight and hearing are alert and sharp. You see things but you’re not nervous and don’t jerk your eyes around. You know that would be an unconscious physical movement. Instead you’re poised and calm, and what a pleasure it is to be in charge instead of the world being in charge of you.

DROP EVERYTHING
     The next time and the next time and the next time you’re in a quarrel with someone you’re to do something you’ve never done before, which is, right in the middle of the heat, you’re to stop and come home to yourself. You're to know you’re in the room and you're to look at that other person and see the pain as well as the anger in him, as well as in you. Then take a mighty leap towards the spiritual world by just dropping everything! EVERYTHING!
