Even sincere followers of Truth are vulnerable to feelings of self-satisfaction when they give of themselves to others and forgive. But the aim of Truth is a sort of forgetfulness about ourselves. In everything we do the works of our Father, never our own. Acclaim or failure never enter our minds because in God is everything assured.

The beginner in Truth grapples with self-awareness. It is natural because he or she is trying to cast off the restraining habits of a lifetime. But as we progress we come more and more to trust Love and therefore not to look in and around ourselves for the fruits of our new life. God wants us to accept and press on, not to linger unnecessarily in the moment.

So keep looking forwards, with a pure heart. Do not become anxious about the difficulties that you encounter in life no matter how grave they appear. Do not see yourself as God's soldier, engaged in a struggle with evil. Only God heals and solves. Your part, in love, is to open yourself to Him.
