Life Enrichment.
Integral Life
All this is for habitation by the Lord, whatsoever is individual universe of movement in the universal motion. By that renounced thou shouldst enjoy; lust not after any man's possession.
Doing verily works in this world one should wish to live a hundred years. Thus it is in thee and not otherwise than this; action cleaves not to a man.
Sunless are those worlds and enveloped in blind gloom whereto all they in their passing hence resort who are slayers of their souls.

The First Step: Become Conscious of yourself

For man's nature, especially his mental nature, has a spontaneous tendency to give a favourable explanation foreverything he thinks, feels, says and does. It is only by observingthese movements with great care, by bringing them, as it were, before the tribunal of our highest ideal, with a sincere will tosubmit to its judgment, that we can hope to form in ourselves adiscernment that never errs. manner,reject from us or eliminate in us whatever contradicts the truth ofour existence, whatever is
