Power of Thoughts
Thoughts are more powerful than actions because they are
the creators of actions. You have to keep in mind that
the thought-waves of your good wishes and pure feelings,
your vibrations of peace and love, can once again bring
harmony in nature and happiness in the world.
Being Fortunate
When there is an awareness of being fortunate, there is
the ability to recognize what one has. All that is there
in one's own life is put to good use, which brings about
benefit. Such a person never gives up trying to better
the situation. He puts in continuous effort with
enthusiasm. When I have the awareness of being
fortunate, I am constantly happy and content. I
appreciate everything that is in my life and continue to
put it to good use. So I find my fortune increasing with
each day that passes. I thus experience constant
progress and happiness.
Ending The Day In The Presence Of God
On a physical level, there is complete transparency in a
parent-child relationship. When a child is born to a
mother and father and the parents see the child for the
first time, the child is completely bare. As the child
grows in the canopy of the parents, the parents see and
know everything about the child, not only in a physical
way, but also the child's personality or nature right
from childhood. Sometimes, there are certain things
about the child that even the child himself does not
have an awareness of, but the parents are aware of the
same. So, in short, there is nothing that the child can
hide from the parents.
In the same way, the Supreme Being, who is a permanent
resident of the soul world, has seen from that world,
each soul right from the time when it was completely
bare or bodiless residing in the soul world with Him, to
the time when it took its first physical costume or body
on earth and then changed many costumes in the process
of birth and rebirth. He not only knows the soul's
original sanskaras, which were there in the soul in the
soul world, but also each and every costume that the
soul wore. He also knows every soul's different
relationships while wearing each and every costume;
every thought, word or action created while wearing each
and every costume and the different personality traits
or sanskaras of the soul while wearing each and every
costume. That is on an unlimited level. On a limited
level, there is no doubt that the Supreme Soul who is
the Supreme Parent of all human souls and is said to
possess a thousand eyes; very well knows the mental,
emotional and physical activity of the complete day of
each soul. Thus, there is nothing that is hidden
about the soul from this Parent.

Meditation on
Self-Forgiveness
Sit comfortably and relax. Recall the feelings
associated with some mistake or mistakes you have made
in the past. Connect with any feelings of hatred and
revenge; connect with any feelings of guilt and how you
felt you had let others and yourself down; the shame and
the humiliation you may have
felt...
Now ask yourself:
What good is it doing me or others by holding onto these
feelings...?
What benefits does it bring me? How does it help me, or
the other people affected...? (pause for 30 seconds).
Now, say the following to yourself inside your mind:
I decide that I have held onto these feelings long
enough and it is time to let them go... This is a matter
of reason as they no longer serve me, and a matter of my
will at a deep level to release them... I feel all these
negative feelings and let them go... I release them...
let them go...
Now, unconditionally, forgive yourself... you have made
a mistake... you have learned from that mistake... there
is nothing to be gained from having feelings of guilt or
shame... let them go... forgive yourself... forgive
everyone else who may have contributed... it is time to
let it go...
Now focus on your true self - a divine being of
spiritual energy situated at the center of the
forehead... focus on your inner feelings of peace...
Think of and feel your inner qualities of honesty,
tolerance, kindness and generosity.
Focus on them, as this is who you truly are... a
peaceful, compassionate, forgiving being of spiritual
light... radiating these qualities to the world...
Message for the day
Simplicity sharpens the power of perception.
Expression:
When
there is simplicity within us, the clouds or layers that
prevent our perception begin to fade away and we can see
the situation clearly. With simplicity we find that
there is nothing to colour or change our perception and
naturally the decisions that follow become accurate too.
Experience:
Before we take any important
decision we need to stop for a while, detach ourselves
from the situation and see it with a cool mind. With
this our thoughts will become free from all kind of
associated memories and unnecessary attitudes and we
will be able to make the right decision.
