Be not hopeful of good for the New Year, but ASSURE yourself
of good by daily beginning your activities with a silent, inner realization of
His presence, His grace.
There is nothing deeper in the spiritual literature of the
world than the two words, I AM. As a matter of fact, when you are in the depths
of despair, those are the only two words that can come to your rescue – not
what I would LIKE to be, not what I HOPE to be, not what I am TRYING to be
through the use of all these words. In the end, you will realize this: What it
is I am seeking, I already am. You will then give up all this physical effort
and mental effort. You will give up all the struggling. Why struggle for that
which I already am? Do not try to be more spiritual; do not try to be more
moral; do not try to be more good; do not try to be more anything. Give up the
struggle; stop trying to be one thing other than that which you are now are;
settle back and realize: That which I am, I AM. All that God is, I AM. That
which I am seeking, I AM.
