Three particular powers help us to live in this world; the first is patience and the second is tolerance. No matter what happens to me, my body or my loved ones, I have to accept it and deal with it as positively as I can. Fear of what will happen or what has happened only makes things worse; it takes away my strength and clarity to respond in a way that's helpful. Third is contentment - the feeling that I am OK, everything is OK. These three powers allow the other powers to work in our lives. They allow us to keep our dignity and self-respect. Spiritual powers protect our inner strength and reflect the spiritual beauty of the self. These are the real tools we need in our life.
