Every day disciples must remain awake and vigilant in order to monitor the thoughts and feelings which run through them. And this is not so easy. Just observe yourself: there are moments when you are busy cooking, repairing something, or driving the car, and on the face of it you are focused on the task at hand. But in reality, part of you is deeply immersed in negative thoughts and feelings, and this may go on for hours without your realizing it. This is where you must learn to become vigilant, so that you are able to intervene at any moment in your inner life. The first step towards freedom, towards true power, is to develop the habit of glancing within to see where you are and to remedy the situation as best you can in the circumstances, by attempting to put positive forces in motion.
