Relationships
Good feelings for others are like ointments that
heal wounds and re-establish friendship and
relationships. Good feelings are generated in
the mind, are transmitted through your attitude
and are reflected through your eyes and smile.
Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make
miracles happen.
Deaf Ear
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words
will never hurt me" is inspiring in print but
most people would agree that it's very
challenging to live by. Turning a deaf ear to
idle gossip, criticism or insults requires a
major shift in thinking. When I surround my mind
with thoughts of self-transformation and more
importantly God's powerful words, I put myself
in a secure state of introversion. Only then am
I able to build my self-esteem and the
resistance to deflect unworthy vibrations from
the outside world.
The Source Of Pure Love
The highest love is the Supreme Being's (Supreme
Soul's) love. This is the love of the perfect
spiritual being (soul), the perfect parent
towards the imperfect child where the parent
does not see the child's weaknesses. Just as the
flower turns each morning to absorb the light
and warmth of the sun we too need to turn each
day to absorb the light of truth and warmth of
pure love from the Supreme Being, from the
Source. This is not the God of a religious
belief system, but the personal god that we all
share, the one parent and friend that we all
share. This is not a God as a concept, nor is
God a belief. If we hold God just as a concept
or belief in our minds, which is perhaps what we
learned as children, we will never know him,
never experience the greatest and deepest love.
We cannot receive love from a belief just as we
cannot have a real relationship with a concept.
Instead, it is necessary to establish a personal
relationship with God through a silent
conversation of thoughts and feelings (to begin
with). Hence the need to practice quietening a
busy mind, the need to free our feelings from
emotional disturbance. The Supreme Being is
available to everyone but few of us know how or
where to direct our attention. The connecting
and absorbing of the love of God is a personal
process called meditation, that never costs
anything and can finally become a natural part
of living each day.

The Journey of Time
There are two laws governing the journey of time
in this world.
• Firstly, the movement of time is cyclic
i.e. without a beginning or an end. It is not
linear i.e. a straight line with a beginning and
an end, and
• Secondly, everything new undergoes
degradation and becomes old at some point of
time.
These two laws help us to understand the journey
of time and why the world is in its present
state.
We use time to attempt to measure change. One
day is measured by the time taken by the earth
to rotate around its axis. One day is our basic
unit of measurement of time. One year is
measured by the time taken by the earth to
revolve around the sun. So the movement of time
in our physical world is always cyclical. The
cycle of the day, from dawn to daylight to dusk
to night, is a movement that repeats with
absolute constancy. A larger cycle is that of
the seasons - from spring to summer to autumn to
winter - which also repeat in the same way. When
we become a detached observer and look at the
'big picture' of human history, we see an even
larger cycle, the eternal world cycle of time
– a cycle that moves from the day of humanity
(where everything is positive on a physical as
well as spiritual level) to the night of
humanity and then back to the day of humanity to
repeat again. But to believe and understand
that picture completely, we first need to
understand the second law of time and also
connect it with the first law.
Tomorrow we shall explain the second law of
time.
Message for the day
The right solution is found by the mind which is
free from worry.
Projection:
No matter how hard one worries about a problem,
there can be no solution found. When the mind is
free from worry, it is able to be calm. Then
there will be no struggle but very naturally the
right decision is made, which would be for the
benefit of the self and that of others too. On
the contrary, a mind that is worried would make
decisions that are harmful, even after a lot of
thinking and rethinking.
Solution:
When I keep the mind free from worry in the most
difficult situation, I am able to experience
inner calm, inspite of the outer disturbance,
because there is no disturbance in my natural
thinking process. There is a lot of peace
within, which enables me to be free from
negative feelings for everyone. I also naturally
have good wishes for myself and others, so
whatever I do would be for everyone's benefit.
