Mastery, Awareness & Non-dualism

“Each soul is potentially Divine. The goal of life is to manifest that Divinity within by controlling nature internal and external. Do it by philosophy or psychic control or work or worship, by one or more or all of these and be free.”
Swami Vivekananda


What is meant by ‘control’?
Control does not here imply ‘struggle’ and ‘conflict’, but simply gaining power over nature through awareness. This awareness overcomes the divisions between inside and outside, between conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious and brings about a natural ability to control without struggle or manipulation. This is Mastery. This is the secret of the Siddhas (Self-Realised Beings).
