You have to understand that this is your life, and you can
make the joy and the beauty happen every day. It really is very easy.
A lot of people think it can only happen if they change the world around them. They think they have to change their children, and by the time they’ve almost gotten there, the child’s moved out. Then they think, “What else can I change? I’ll get a job that I really like.” They finally find a job they really like, and then they realize what they really like is the days off from the job : ) Then they say, “Maybe what I need to do is retire.”
Waiting—just think of all the things people are waiting for. You don’t have to wait anymore. You don’t have to change all those things around you. You can’t anyway, because when you do try to change them, they’ll try to change you. And when they do, you won’t like it.
I realized I can’t change everything, but there’s one thing I can change. All I need to do is change my list of priorities. The change has to come from within. That’s why I’m saying it’s easy. You don’t have to throw anything out, just rearrange. Of all those things that
have taken priority, put the priority to be content at the very top.
That’s all.

Though you must remain in the world, be not of the world. Real yogis can talk and mingle with people, but all the while their minds are rapt in God.
