One’s mind is an Energy Force! At any given point in time, your mind can take you anywhere--even if you’ve never been there before.

Control of your thoughts, emotions, and your actions in order to stay objectives. It’s a way of being. It is NOT self denial. In the spiritual sense, it is being focused on one’s path. To remain on your path and not to allow anything from the external world deviate one from their spiritual pursuit. That doesn’t mean one doesn’t have possessions though. We have many distractions today in our modern world.

Just being friendly with everyone. Not a false friendliness. Swamiji states, “learn to segregate the qualities in a person from the person.” He means, you can have a sense of you are not like me but I don’t want harm to come to you or that being.

Fear of what others think about you.It’s crippling. It entraps you in a particular way of being, doing and having. Stepping outside of the box of that fear is where change takes place.

As you have deliberate focus and thought flow, you will change everything and bring in what you really want to manifest and create in your life. It does pay to monitor your thoughts and where they are leadin...

Prosperity is not just about money. It is a bigger way of being, doing and having. Prosperity has less to do with how much money a human has and more to do with how the human relates to it.

It’s the ability to see space in all things. It’s the understanding that we are not in a box and that there is a greater field for us to ...

Qualities of Master Teachers Divine Leadership. Influence in a positive way. There is a fine line between influence and manipulation. Master teachers do not invoke their will. They have the potential to draw out, (educate), a person’s potential or essence rather than the will of the teacher.
