Peace Is Not Passive
Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active
state. It requires having constant attention in
order to live and to respond as a peaceful being
to any upset in life.
Training the Mind
Whenever we need to think positive in a
situation, we try to force the mind to think in
that way. We try to force the mind into thinking
what we desire. Yet the mind, at that time, is
not capable of doing that. So we don't find any
positive result of our attempt and in fact, we
find ourselves more into negativity. We need to
be a mother to our mind. We need to teach our
mind to think the right kind of thoughts. Even
when everything is going fine, we need to train
the mind. A positive thought taken every day and
spending time with it brings good results. This
training makes the mind obedient to us at the
time of need and we are able to be positive in
the most negative situation.
Inculcating Powers Though Meditation - The Power
To Pack Up (cont.)
As I progress on my spiritual journey, even
thoughts that waste the precious resources of
the mind come to be seen as a barrier. Turning a
scene over in my mind repeatedly is an example
of waste, that will rob me of the mental
concentration and emotional stability I need to
keep moving forward. Sometimes we do get stuck,
like a broken record, in such mental grooves,
without realizing what we are doing.
The power of pack up means I recognize the
damage caused by such waste, and put an end to
it. As I renew the awareness of myself as a
soul, in relationship with the Supreme Soul, the
needle of my attention is lifted above the
groove, letting me come fully into the present.
I also learn to be selective in what I choose to
remember or forget from the past. This is not
dishonest; in fact, it is being honest to my
task. Human beings in any case have highly
selective memories. We not only see and
understand differently, according to our
individual interests and agendas, but our
attitudes and perception also determine the
memories we choose to store.
Meditation enables me to exercise this option
quite deliberately, picking up those scenes from
the past that nourish me and help me move
forward, and rejecting memories that pollute my
mind and slow me down.
Soul Sustenance
The Fifth Phase/Age Of Humanity (cont.)
When we see and realize the significance of this
current Age, the fifth Age or the Confluence
Age (Sangamyug), we also find greater
clarity in our life's purpose. It becomes
obvious that the world will not become a better
place through more resistance or conflict; this
only adds to the sum of fear and anger in the
world. To fight for peace is a false belief
which has taken over the human mind. To think
that peace comes from conflict, or that conflict
is necessary to achieve peace, is to think right
comes from wrong. Deep change is an incognito
process (process which cannot be seen) within
individual souls. Through meditation or yoga
(union), we awaken and restore our true,
peaceful selves; we absorb the light of truth
and love from the Supreme and we are spiritually
empowered. This we can then share with others.
As we radiate our spiritual energy and reflect
the light of God into the world in gentle and
humble ways, the effects of our self-change
reach out to other souls as an invitation to do
the same.
The nagging questions which must enter most
minds at least once in a lifetime (such as * Why
me? * Why here? and * Why now?) are answered -
our highest purpose is to help others know
themselves as they truly are i.e. souls and to
help in reconnecting them to the Supreme. This
is why simply sitting in meditation, generating
and radiating vibrations which are peaceful and
loving, can help to heal others and the world
itself. That is our primary responsibility at
the Confluence Age. When we take up this
responsibility we assist the Supreme in his task
at the Confluence Age, i.e. bringing about the
Golden Age.
Message for the day
To recognize the uniqueness of my own
personality is to be free from negative
influence.
Projection:
The one who is aware of one's own uniqueness is
able to create a strong influence on others of
his own personality. So, such a person is not
negatively influenced by anyone's personality
traits. Even when there is a person with a very
strong personality, he is still able to be free
from negative influence.
Solution:
When I am able to recognize and use the
specialties that are within me, I am able to
remain powerful within. In all circumstances and
with all people I experience this innate power.
Because I am constantly in touch with my own
specialties, I am able to be light and happy.
