Think about how you can follow the sage's example in your own life, however modestly. The real point of all this is to empty ourselves of ego. This strengthens our ability to hear our intuition, which will tell us our calling. I never made a conscious decision to dedicate my life to prison work. Twenty-seven years later, we look back and see that this is all we've done in our adult lives.

By having a spiritual practice. Mystical experiences aren't relative to our frame of mind. When our hearts open and we see life from an intuitive perspective, we all experience the same thing, just as Buddha and Jesus didn't see fundamentally different things. If the inner voice tells you to smack someone across the face, then that's simply not the intuition speaking. Years ago, I interviewed social psychologist Robert Jay Lifton, and he said that, before you can commit any mass atrocity, you must convince yourself that what you're doing is in the best interest of the world.
