The psychological condition of fear is divorced from any concrete and true immediate danger. It comes in many forms: unease, worry, anxiety, nervousness, tension, dread, phobia, and so on. This kind of psychological fear is always of something that might happen, not of something that is happening now.

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

The little saying, 'Be still and know that I Am God' ... contains the entire wisdom of religion in those few words.

The whole world changes when there's presence - sunlight everywhere - because you're not separate from the world.

It is much more likely that help comes in when what you are doing is done while you are in a state of inner peace, rather than resistance.

What you encounter at your destination once you get there depends on the quality of this one step. Another way of putting it: What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now.
