Daily Reflections
by Masami Saionji
Reviving our divinity is the golden key to opening up our lives through our own power, without relying on anything else in existence.
dr_designWithout a doubt, the solutions to all kinds of problems already exist within you.
dr_designUltimately, the sole existence we can rely on is not an external God, a religious leader, or a leading expert in some field (a politician, doctor, scientist, lawyer, or teacher). It is our own self.
dr_designGive selflessly first, without seeking anything in return. The reward will surely come to you, even if you have forgotten all about it.
dr_designThe value of a person lies not in what he or she can do. It is the divine nature within that person that is precious and valuable.
dr_designKnowledge is merely what we inherit from the past. Wisdom is the golden key to creating a radiant future.
dr_designNever doubt yourself or let your mind waver. It is the power to continue believing in yourself that creates the life you desire.

Rather than drawing out the infinite resources within us, most of us have set our sights on materialistic aims—physical comforts that will make our life more agreeable. Money, land, houses, cars, delicious things to eat; position, fame, control over others—for a great many people, aims like these are seen as the ultimate reason for living.
