Change is necessary to create peace within. Peace is independently felt within oneself. It is not dependent upon outer sensation. It is something that belongs to us, something that is our own Self. This is our wealth. Those who do not have it are poor. When we are peaceful, we have the power to observe keenly. We can conceive and contemplate properly. Spiritual progress depends on peace within. Have you thought about the lack of peace? Love of sensation, movement and activity in all its different forms, wanting more and more objects and a dependency upon the outside life, the soul loses peace. Train your self to keep the mind focused on the center, the inner peace and your state of mind will be undisturbed. When we are undisturbed, we are less likely to create negative causes. It helps to choose a particular word or mantra that is helpful and mentally or silently use it in moments of disorder.
To remain undisturbed, be constantly aware of the sneaky influences of the subconscious part of the mind. It behooves you to be at constant attention. Do not allow manipulation to touch your energy. A serene mind must be the master, creator and doer. The soul chooses what it would like to experience. The original plan is not set in stone because of the free will and outside influences. Your spirit is patiently waiting for the conscious part of the mind to make the right connection and the feeling nature to develop the passion. To know all is to experience all. This does not mean it must be an actuality. It means that the mind entertains, tastes and assimulates the possibility of an experience in deep contemplation and feelings. It means that the use of unlimited imagination is as much as a reality as the actual physical or material experience.
