If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
The present moment is indeed a ‘present’ from the Divine… Life as it is happening now, learn to appreciate it, rejoice in it.
Either you lead a life which is luxurious on the material level or you lead a luxurious life of God’s blessings - one of the two you have to choose, the time has come…The enjoyment of life is only possible if the world could get connected to the spirit.
Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
