Make Your Whole Life a Prayer

Note any sense of dissatisfaction, any expectation that something in the future will finally enable us to find happiness. Unnecessary thinking may mask this subtle feeling of dissatisfaction, distracting us from this discomfort. The separate self is this subtle tension of seeking. Seeking, even for enlightenment or God, takes us away from the peace we already are. Seeking peace in objective experience is doomed for failure and is the source of suffering. The pathless path to happiness is from our self to our self, with no room for a method or practice. How much time is needed to step from yourself to yourself? Keep the ‘I am’ sacred – a beacon that shines in the midst of all experience – the place of peace, God's presence. Whatever is, is. Being is one; its appearances many. Resolve to know, see, be and love only the one. ‘Pray without ceasing’, and our whole life becomes a prayer.
