Inner House Maintenance: Sloth's Cost

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the simple verse you are shown the truth: decay is not a condemnation of things, but a condition of consciousness left unkindled. The building that fails is the house of awareness when slothful thought and idle hands make room for neglect. The I AM—the you who watches and creates—does not run from responsibility. When you feel the impulse to drift, do not resist with force, but assume the role of the faithful architect. Picture your mind as a dwelling you constantly tend: a brick here, a window there, a renewed intention placed at the cornerstone. Each act of revision, each moment of imagining the better scene, is a brick laid in the structure of your life. Idleness is simply a misalignment of the inner state; it invites decay by its very vibration. Therefore return to the premise that you are the builder, and your life responds to your inner posture. Restore the inner house with steady attention, and the outer world will echo that order as if it had always stood there.
