==== 4. The Inner Life (Three Practices) ====

===== Giving =====

Give in secret.
When no one sees you, your heart is revealed to itself.

===== Prayer =====

When you pray, enter your inner room,
close the door of the senses,
and speak to the Presence that is already speaking within you.

Say:
Our Source—

You are the life in all life.

Reveal your unity in us.

Let your will unfold through us.

Give us today the nourishment of awareness.

Release us from our illusions,

as we release the illusions we hold against others.

Do not let us fall back into forgetfulness,

but guide us from error into truth.

For the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory
are this very awareness, now and forever.

===== Fasting =====

When you fast from the world’s noise,
do not advertise your discipline.
Be inwardly bright.
Only the Father in secret needs to see.
