In every stone exists a latent image. When the sculptor chisels away all the unwanted parts, the image emerges. That beautiful form is born because the stone offers itself to the artist, sitting patiently before him or her for a long time.
The mind always has expectations. In order to experience pure consciousness, this nature of the mind must disappear.
We need to focus on our destination. Let the thoughts arising in your mind pass by, like watching scenery through the window of a car. The thoughts cannot affect you if you don't allow them to capture your attention.
Through spiritual thoughts, we cultivate inner strength and a strong mind. God represents all good qualities, such as self-sacrifice, love and compassion.

The vision of God is possible with the power that is gained through concentration of the mind. At that time we will come to know that God is everywhere, everything is God.
