Nik Wallenda broke two world records on November
2, 2014, with two high-wire walks between
Chicago
skyscrapers without a net or harness, doing the
second walk blindfolded. As he approached the
end of
the first walk he said, “God is in control.”
Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is to know your way around
yourself so instinctively, that you always have
a strength to draw on. Somewhere inside, from
the stillness, you always find something that
can meet your need. Self-confidence runs much
deeper than nerves.
Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation -
The Power To Tolerate
Visualize a tree with lots of fruits hanging
from its branches. When I throw
a stone at it, what does it do? It bends its
branches low and offers its sweet
fruit to me. I enjoy eating the fruit, which
gives me inner satisfaction. What
happens as a result? My respect for the tree
increases.
This is a beautiful image of the power of
tolerance and I have lots to learn
from it. It shows me that if I want to imbibe
the characteristics of the tree, I
must become full of the fruits of the spiritual
attainments from the
Supreme Soul. When I am filled internally with
fruits like joy, love, wisdom,
beauty and peace through spiritual knowledge and
meditation; even when
the stones of difficult circumstances come my
way I'll still be able to
respond positively and creatively, with courage
and humility. If I'm empty,
the stones will injure me, and I'll react with
anger or fear or ego or some
other negative emotion.
Also, although many stones have injured me in
the past, I must remove any
hurt in my heart, which may have developed as a
result of injuries
experienced from them, when I did not have the
Supreme Soul with me.
These will prevent me from sharing the unlimited
fruit made possible by
the company of the Supreme.
Real tolerance means tolerating with pleasure
and not with stress. It does
not just mean putting up with a difficult
situation, and at the same time
counting how many times I have had to tolerate
it. Tolerance means that no
matter what stones come my way, I realize
completely that those throwing
them are souls not full of attainments, and so
my duty is to continue to
share my internal attainments with them.

A Thinker
Who are you that lives in the body? You are a
thinker, and what you
think creates the atmosphere in the 'temple',
and the atmosphere
determines how much love there is in your life.
A poor thinker in a
smart machine attracts friendship with a motive;
a rich thinker in a
temple attracts love. And the love that you
attract today is the
foundation of your future, so though it is
earned slowly, its depth is
worth it.
Soul Sustenance
Meditation –
A Process Of Renewal (Recharging)
Meditation is an internal process of renewal
(recharging) and liberation.
When you control the process of moving through
the following states of
consciousness:
choose a response, detach yourself and go
beyond;
You get back the spiritual power, which was
trapped or hidden. You learn to
channel your energy in order to unblock
yourself. You control better what
you think and you think better. You free
yourself of bad feelings, bad
energies and bad influences.
On the one hand, you have to learn to generate
positivism; on the other,
you have to learn to protect yourself from
energies that are unhealthy, sick,
weakening, on an emotional level. Meditation
helps to do this, to digest
situations when they have to be digested and not
to consume what they
offer when it is not necessary. On a physical
level, if you know that
something will make you ill, you don't eat or
consume it. On the level of
relationships, you learn not to allow certain
situations, scenes or words to
influence you. That way you stay renewed
(recharged) and your energy
flows without blockages.
Message for the day
Self-respect
brings constant learning and an experience of
success.
Projection: Where
there is self-respect, there is naturally a
positive and
elevated state of mind. There is openness and
enthusiasm to bring about
progress in one's life. Everything that is done
is towards this end. So, the
one with self-respect naturally reveals one's
speciality in all thoughts, words
and actions.
Solution: When
I am able to maintain my own state of
self-respect, I am
able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. I'm
able to understand, accept and
make use of all situations in the right way. So,
whatever the situation may
be, for me there is a constant experience of
progress.
