Eradicate the conflict....

 

Excerpt From Ouspensky’s Fable : 
The Benevolent Devil

" It is necessary to eradicate the conflict between 
the life of ideas and the life of every day. 
In order to achieve this, it is necessary that 
you should know yourself. 

Each moment know what you are doing 

and why. Only then will you be the 

master of things rather than their slave. 

Usually you carry out your wishes before 

you have given any thought as to whether 

or not they are necessary for your 
higher aims.  

Try to live in such a way that you keep a watch 

on your actions and do nothing 

that does not serve the higher purpose. 

Or, to put it another way, learn to
do everything in such 

a way that whatever you do serves a higher
purpose. It is possible to do that. 

But, whatever you are doing, 

it is vital that you ask yourself, before
each thought, before each word, before 

each action: Why am I doing

this? Is this necessary? 

Then, imperceptibly, a number of your 

actions and deeds will cease to be 

unnecessary and they will start 

to serve the higher aims.  

The inner conflict in your life 

will begin to disappear and be 

replaced by harmony. "
