Patience
Patience is a reflection of
the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with
all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated.
It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and,
with this patience acquires the power to deal with all
situations.
Empowerment
Each point of true
knowledge is a powerful tool that we can use in our
practical life. It brings about an understanding that
gives us the ability to accept the situation. It also
gives us the power to deal with the situation in the
right way. Whenever difficult situations come our way,
we need to see what we can understand from that
situation and imbibe in our lives. When we make a
constant practice of taking the learning the essence
from every situation, we will be empowered to deal with
the situation in the right way and thereby be enriched
too.
The Triangle Of
Spiritual Energy
Harmony
within the self and with others is based on the accuracy
of three aspects of remembrance: the ability to
disconnect, connect and reconnect.
When I disconnect my
thoughts from outside influences, stepping back from
actions and words, then I can go into silence and
connect with the self. To plug into the self, l use the
thought: Om Shanti or I am a peaceful soul. This thought
is the current that activates my eternal resource of
peace and the qualities that emanate from this peace.
The first step in meditation is always to connect with
the self: what we call the inward step.
The next step in meditation
is vertical, where, within one second, my concentrated
thought connects my mind with the Supreme Source of
Peace.
Silence and love give the
mind wings to break the pull of gravity and to fly and
unite with the One, who is the purest point of energy in
the universe. This vertical connection from the point of
the self, the soul, to the point of the universe, the
Supreme Soul, gives the mind fresh new energy. This
fresh
energy is divine spiritual power and cannot be found in,
or taken from, a human being. Therefore, if I wish to
recharge myself, to rediscover and restore the original
balance and harmony within myself, the second movement
made by my mind must be vertical.

What Are Thought Vibrations?
The word atmosphere
has two meanings. One refers to the physical air around
us and the other to the more subtle effect that thought
vibrations create in a particular space. No one can deny
that the atmosphere of a crowded restaurant is different
from that of a temple. This is mainly because of the
effect of different types of thoughts and feelings in
that space. Even someone deaf and blind would have the
ability to pick up the difference. Sound vibrations are
invisible but their impact isn't. A pneumatic drill or a
jet breaking the sound barrier jolt both our minds
(non-physical effect) and the walls of our houses
(physical effect).
Thought vibrations
can't be seen but their non-physical as well as physical
impact is even more powerful and influential. The panic
that people generate during a stampede or an earthquake
and the euphoria (absolute joy) of victory in a World
Cup final cricket game are examples of how thoughts
create an atmosphere.
On a subtler level,
many of us have the experience of basic telepathy - ' I
was just thinking of you and you called'. Thoughts
connect individuals over large distances. Doctors inform
us that over 90% of the physical body's illnesses have a
psychosomatic (mental) origin i.e. they are a direct or
indirect result of our state of mind. That makes the
human body the prime example of how thoughts affect
matter.
Since the world is
made up of the collective, personal worlds of all
individuals, then it's easy to see how the international
political, economic and social atmosphere is nothing
more than the collective effects of all our thoughts.
Message for the day
The way to get
blessings is to be open to learning.
Expression:
We do get both negative and positive
situations in our life. When we are faced with negative
situations we usually expect blessings from God or
someone great by which the negativity in our life will
fully finish. But it doesn't usually happen so.
Experience:
The method to receive blessings is to go on learning
from the experiences of life. To learn means never to
repeat mistakes by learning from whatever has happened.
This learning acts as a lift for us, which takes us
forward.
