Perfect
and Pure
Perfect and Pure
There is a part of you that
is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the
less-than-perfect characteristics you have acquired by
living in a less than perfect world. This part of you is a
still and eternal star. Make time to reach it and this
will bring you untold benefit.
Simplicity
There's great beauty in simplicity.
It's not plainness; however it is plain in the sense that
words and actions are enacted with great royalty, full
awareness and with so much significance. Simplicity takes
us away from artificialities, it simply accepts and in
that acceptance shows us grace and humility in every
circumstance.
The Role Of My Intentions In Shaping My
Future
The word karma has been given
many negative meanings. In common language, most people
almost always relate it to suffering, but the simplest
meaning of karma is action. Newton's Third Law of Physics
(every action has an equal and opposite reaction) is a
physical law of motion. The Law of Karma is the
metaphysical (non-physical) equivalent of the Newton's
Third Law - it refers to action and its result (fruit) or,
simply, cause and effect. The quality of my actions,
thoughts more specifically determines my personal level of
happiness. Our natures today are the result of everything
we have thought; they are formed by our thoughts. It's not
so much the act that determines the return or fruit but
the quality of the motive or intention behind it e.g. in
the simple task of buying a new car, the intention can be
different in the case of three different people:
* I need to buy a good car; it's an urgent need of my
family (concern).
* What if I am not able to buy that
car model which my wife so badly wants (worry)?
* With me at the wheel of the brand
new car, which I will be buying soon, I will be the talk
of the town, my office colleagues will really be jealous
of me (ego)!
Although the action is the same in
each case, each of these attitudes will lead to a
different result. This role of intentions become clear
when analyzing the difference in guilt between an army
officer who kills another while protecting his country and
another person who plans for months to commit a murder out
of personal enmity and hatred. The karma of taking the
life of someone is the same in both cases, but the return
or fruit of the karma depends on the intention.
Soul Sustenance
The Lamp Of Hope
You create the future basing yourself on what you think,
feel and do in the present. If you act according to your
values, it is easy for you to trust in your destiny. That
strengthens your hope that all will go well, and, if it
doesn’t, you know and trust your inner resources or
treasures to be able to deal with things and change. That
trust feeds the enthusiasm, the motor energy that, along
with motivation and passion, helps us to advance.
When you lose courage and you feel weak, when you feel
insecure and do not see with clarity where to go towards,
hope lights the way for you to carry on going forward. If
you fall, get up again and carry on looking ahead. Don't
look back. Don't let your past be a burden that is too
heavy and prevents you from advancing. Focus your vision
on your objective and on all your potential to achieve it.
Whatever happens, keep the lamp of hope lit. You can. You
will achieve it. Change will become reality. You will free
yourself from the shadows of fears, blockages and the
other limitations that weaken you.
Live each situation as an opportunity. Learn from
criticism and failures. On living life as a constant
opportunity for personal growth and learning, you keep
hope always alive.
Give yourself moments of silence on beginning each day,
during the day and on finishing the day, to connect with
your inner self. That way your awareness stays awake,
the lamp of your hope, your motivation and your values
remains lit.
Message for the day
Detachment gives
the power to be uninfluenced by desires.
Projection:
When we are able to use the power of
detachment that is within us, we are able to go beyond the
attraction of things even whilst using them. We will be
able to be in the consciousness that we are the true
masters who use all things as and when needed, while being
uninfluenced by them.
Solution:
When we find ourselves having a
desire we should remind ourselves that we are the ones who
are the creators of things. So we are the ones who
influence and not the ones who are influenced by the
creation. This will easily make us detached from the
things that we are using.
