Gospel of One; Letters of Aul

Hello Everyone; namaste:

We are starting chapter 12 in the Letter to the Omans in the book "Gospel of One; Letters of Aul."

"So here is my advice for you. Keep your regular routine of a balanced life, eating, sleeping, working, playing, and keep up with all your relationships, but place it all in the context of your oneness with life. See God everywhere. Respect God in all the variations of life. Honor yourself and honor others. At the same time be aware of peer pressure that drags you down. Keep your inner awareness of God. Quickly recognize and respond to the presence of God in every situation. The culture of TV, movies, shopping malls, sports, worldly music, and materialistic science will drag you down to its level if you let it. Tune into your God-Self, and you will rise above the mundane."

Commentary: Balance is very important in the spiritual life. If you are out in the material world a lot, it can be difficult to stay balanced. I salute those of you who are able to stay in tune with your inner God-presence during busy or stressful times. If you regularly meditate on the presence of God, it becomes easier to keep in tune all day long. You see the face of God everywhere.
