Learn to Live with Meditation-Born Awareness.

Learn to live more superconsciousiy. This means to live with meditation-born awareness. Try to make the peace you experience in meditation the basis of your objective experience of life. Do not let the meditative peace slip between your fingers the moment you find the winds of worldly duties again hit you.

Do not let the insistent demands people make of you blow away your calm self-awareness. Never let others define you in their terms. You should live by what you believe and know of yourself, inwardly. Your abiding reality is the peace, love, and joy you have experienced in your own soul.

Meditation will sharpen your concentration and develop your will power. Obstacles of many kinds will simply disappear, and you will be able to accomplish in minutes what in the past might have taken you hours, days, or even weeks to do. By practicing meditation, many had found that by coming to work with a clear mind they could solve problems on which others would have spent days.

For intuition, the natural fruit of meditation has one supreme advantage over the reasoning faculty: It provides inner certainty. The rational mind can never be quite sure of anything. The best it ever does is decide on which, out of a variety of possibilities, seems the best choice. Great discoveries and accomplishments are the consequence, always, of some measure of intuition.

Learn to look at life more with a sense of unity. Do not try to analyze everything. Obviously, there are situations where analysis is necessary, but even then, cling to a deeper consciousness of the interrelationship of all things. Be guided, above all, by inner joy. The more you let yourself be guided superconsciousiy, the more you will feel joy in everything you do. You will reach the point of understanding that, if that quiet, inner joy is missing, anything you contemplate doing were better left undone. And when inner joy is present, it will be your way of knowing for a certainty that what you contemplate is right and good.
