How to Let God Use Your Mind and Body to Manifest Your Life’s Purpose While Engaging with the World
Allowing divinity to use our mind and body and manifest the universe's purpose requires surrendering our mind completely to our Inner Being. We must not let our ego be the doer but instead become Non-Doers. Then, we will be instruments for manifesting the divine purpose.
Non-doership is not passive; it is active and dynamic, which involves abiding and resting in being. Simply being and remaining one's True self constitutes the highest form of doing. You will eliminate most non-essential actions that drain your life energy by abiding in being.

Inner Purpose and Outer Purpose

Your main purpose is to bring the “power of awareness” into this world through everything you do.
Outer Purpose: Your outer purpose is secondary and concerns anything you do outwardly. In that sense, your career or profession is your outer purpose. It can change over time and vary significantly from person to person.
There are seven ways to let God use us to manifest our outer purpose in the world:
Way # 1: Shift From ‘What Do I Want?’ To ‘What Does Life Want From Me?’ Let’s understand this…
