“The spiritual weapon of self-purification, intangible as it seems, is the most potent means of revolutionizing one’s environment and loosening the external shackles. It works subtly and invisibly; it is an intense process though it might often seem a weary and long-drawn process. It is the straightest way to liberation, the surest and the quickest, and no effort can be too great for it. What it requires is faith – an unshakable mountainlike faith that flinches from nothing.”– Mohandas Gandhi
The only way to gain the power to manifest profound joy, peace and well-being is to honestly devote oneself to the endless daily challenge of mastering the ego. When we squarely face our issues, when we root out our darkest thoughts and feelings and expose them to the light, when we give up always looking for the easiest path, then we enter a new realm of creative potential. The more we try to get something for nothing, the more we limit what we can get. Conversely, when we face our inner demons and commit to an all-out effort, our hard work weaves magic into our lives.
