On the spiritual path there are many obstacles diverting us off towards pleasure, money, or fame
Each time our eyes divert from God we must return them
If we can keep our eyes on our family, friends, coworkers, jobs, bank account, shopping, food, or pets we will be diverted off the path towards God.
We will be lost and afraid in the woods
Not knowing which way to go and suffer tremendously
It takes tremendous conviction to keep going on this path
But the rewards of inner peace, serenity and complete liberation are more precious than diamonds
The path towards God is liberation from all greed, hatred and fear
God brings many the gift of unconditional love which liberates us from all self-centeredness and fear
If we keep our eyes on God we have nothing to fear and our days will be filled more and more with love, joy, and inner peace
With love,
