On Confusion
-Problems arising out of physical inability give pain to the body. Mental agony arises when one refuses to do physically what he can out of a value. Confusion is mental inability.

-Confusion that powerfully enters at any level has nothing to do with intelligence or capacity or even experience. Man going off the track often confuses himself. Not to be confused is an ability unconnected with our other endowments. It is called the clarity of the personality. (MSS)

On Dealing with Confusion
When confused about the best course for your life, do not battle that confusion. Make no attempt to clear your mind by making impulsive choices or by seeking allies for the battle. That is like fighting fog with your fists. Nothing good can happen... When remaining quiet, still, not battling, the disorder disappears. Why? Because confusion comes from habitual and mechanical thinking. When mechanical thought stops it can no longer create confusion. In that quiet space is clarity." (The Daily Guru)

Overcoming Confusion and Life Response
"Financial confusions arise from inner confusions, which can be cured with clear, spiritual thinking." THE DAILY GURU [i.e. of spiritual mind beginning with rationality, and upward to thinking in peace, and further to knowledge through descents of light, illumination, and ultimately by identity.]

"When there is an inner confusion in one's self, the outer does not respond positively in kind. It waits for the confusion to abate.

The best condition for life to respond abundantly and positively on its own, without even an outer effort, is a state of cheerfulness, positive outlook, and clarity of thought, whether it be for the individual, the family, or a social entity. Spiritual mind and a deep inner poise can take the response to infinity."
