For the coming week we are going to do two things

• First, whenever we eat or drink, we are going to make sure that we are awake. We only eat with the greatest respect and gratitude, while remaining totally, totally engaged in eating and feeling the taste. If we eat while we are awake, then slowly we start becoming aware of our inner world and outer world. This is a miracle.

• Second, previously we would let our mind take the lead, and it would always want to find faults in others, criticize them, & look for their shortcomings. And now we should remain awake and consciously look for the virtues in other people. So instead of criticizing others, we should form a habit of recognizing their beauties, and complimenting them, & appreciating them.
