== Being Vigilant ==
<div span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">One can be quiet, happy, cheerful without being all that in a light or shallow way—and the happiness need not bring any vital reaction. All that you need to do is to be observant and vigilant,—watchful so that you may not give assent to wrong movements or the return of the old feelings, darkness, confusion etc. Not fear, but vigilance. If you remain vigilant, then with the increase of the Force upholding you, a power of self-control will come, a power to see and reject the wrong turn or the wrong reaction when it comes.</divspan><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p12</ref>
<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/fear#p12</ref> <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">But you have only to observe yourselves... you can observe yourself, catch yourself at least a hundred times a day, with a mind which decides everything, knows everything, judges everything, knows very well what is good, what bad, what is true, what false, what is right... And also how one should act, what this person should have done, how to resolve that problem.... All men know, you see... If they were at the head of governments, for instance, they would know very well how to manage everything! But people don't listen to them... that's all!</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;">(The Mother,21 July 1954)</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0066cc;"><u><ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/21-july-1954#p40</ref></u></span>
