===Quote===
“Man [[aspires]] by [[worship]] to be better and thereby eventually [[attains]] the best.” [[196:3|196:3.22]]
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “You are [[spiritual]] beings having a [[physical]] [[experience]]. [[Ideally]], it could also be said that you are physical beings having a spiritual experience as there should be no demarcation line within yourself. Looking at it from this [[perspective]] is placing the spotlight on your spiritual experience.
“How many among you can [[honestly]] say that their life is an ongoing spiritual experience? Such a [[question]] is meant to help you look at your experience from a different and higher perspective.
“Indeed ‘being spiritual’ is not a part-time job, an afterthought or a [[hobby]] — a brief [[moment]] in your day when you send some hasty [[thoughts]] to the [[Divine]] before retreating to your mundane ‘busy-ness.’ Frequently, [[religion]] is being [[compartmentalized]]. What I mean by that is that its adepts turn to [[God]] at some prescribed times of the day, on some specific days of the week, or on very special occasions.
“The adherence to these religious ‘[[duties]]’ may lead you to believe that you are religious. Yet, are you [[spiritual]]? Are you living as the spiritual beings you are? Are you able to be spiritually [[spontaneous]]? This is how you should look at your life as therein lies the key to finding your inner [[harmony]] and to dealing with its occurrences from a much higher and [[wiser]] perspective.
“Whenever you are a part-time religionist — a week-end warrior so to speak — you unconsciously compartmentalize your spiritual life and make it [[difficult]] for it to overflow into your daily life. This is the reason why on their ‘off days’ — in spite of their professed [[spirituality]] — many are venting baser and pestering [[emotions]] of [[hate]], resentment, bitterness, antagonism, and much more toward their [[siblings]] — projecting the worst, rather than [[expecting]] the best. These are faulty [[foundations]] for a better world; they keep refueling the fires of antagonism and [[separation]].
===Closing===
“Dear ones, be spiritual all the time as it is your true nature. Be [[unified]] within your [[being]] so that you are no longer [[conflicted]] in your way of life. Tear down the dividers within your life that make it look okay for you to be spiritual at times and hateful at others — thus displaying a very split and bipolarized [[personality]]. Rather than squandering your precious energies by judging others harshly and without being qualified to do so, go within and bring your own affairs in order. This is what you are called to do as fully-fledged spiritual beings.”
