You are already one with God; you want to become consciously aware of it.

To exercise some sort of control over others is the secret motive of every selfish person.

The only service that you can render God is to give expression to what he is trying to give to the world, through you. The only service you can render God is to make the very most of yourself in order that God may live in you to the utmost of your possibilities.

...you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

Your first duty to God, to yourself, and to the world is to make yourself as great a personality, in every way, as you possibly can.

In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
