God is the giver
Practice is essential, and grace is fundamental.
Your spiritual practice is vital. If you claim no time for practice, you claim no time for eating. Food is crucial for all beings, yet we are not the providers. God provides. He determines the rains and the harvests. That unseen force cares for all. Do not be proud, for you achieve nothing alone. Different names for the divine are good. We must love all creatures. Our visible practice is one aspect; the other is inner contemplation. All beings, even elements, contain the divine essence. Life is temporary. We strive for oneness, peace, and harmony. Our actions accumulate, but the final outcome is uncertain. We must pray, do good for all, and cleanse negativity. The cycle of time, like the moon's phases, continues. Be happy, live with joy, and be good to all.
"If you have no time to practice yoga or anything, then it means you also have no time for eating."
"We are ātmā, the soul, for everyone. How many animals, etc.? Fire also, water also, earth also—every second."
