→Turning to the Divine
The first thing to do is to look straight at this suffering, perceive to what extent it is the expression of a very petty egoism and then sweep the place clean. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/17-november-1954#p17</ref>
The only remedy for all human suffering is divine love. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/suffering#p6</ref> Additionally, always affirming to oneself your will to change and insisting that it shall be done and cannot fail to be done now or later with divine help. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/depression-and-despondency#p70</ref>
One step to go beyond human suffering is to know that this life is not all. Another step forward is to learn that this surface waking state is only a small part of his being. While discovering self and spirit he discovers God and comes to the vision of that Self in the cosmic consciousness as the divine Reality behind Nature and this world of beings. This is the step on the path which leads out of falsehood and suffering. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/22/the-progress-to-knowledge-god-man-and-nature#p18</ref>
