The Power of Stillness
When we quieten the chatter in our mind, we can
find a clear, pure stillness. This stillness
contains the power to create harmony in all
relationships and the sweetness to sustain them.
Carrying Forward Of Special Talents
Everything that an individual does i.e. a soul
does using the medium of the physical body is
registered in the soul as a sanskara.
Sanskaras, therefore, are the foundation of
our present personalities and all our special
talents and inclinations. There have been many
famous personalities including artists,
musicians, engineers, sportsmen, etc. who,
before attaining phenomenal success in their
respective fields, displayed amazing talents
related to their respective field at a very
young age. When and where could they have
mastered these talents so well? It's obvious
that amazing masteries at a very young age
are not inherited from our parents. These
talents have been developed and brought into
practice in previous births, as a result of
which sanskaras of the talents are
created inside the soul. These sanskaras
are then carried into the next births, and are
brought into actions in the new births.
A more common day-to-day example is the
following: A child is born into a family of
doctors where, from the beginning, all efforts
are made to mould and prepare him to become a
doctor, according to family tradition. However,
from an early age, the child shows strong
tendencies to become an actor, starts to take
part extensively in theatre activities at school
and the talent starts manifesting itself. This
example demonstrates that the characteristics a
soul carries from previous experiences of
previous births will take it in a specific
direction despite attempts made by the family on
the contrary. So in short, genius is
experience. Some think that it's a gift or
talent, but it is the fruit of long experience
of many lives. Some are older souls than
others i.e. they have been present on the world
stage since a longer period of time and have
covered a journey of more number of births and
so know more. This kind of unlimited, broad
vision of life provides us answers to many
questions.
Soul Sustenance
Letting Go Of the Strings (Meditation)
I sit down comfortably and I begin to relax my
body taking advantage of the relaxed rhythm of
my breathing… I feel my calmed breathing… I
listen to the sounds of the space and objects
that surround me… In this moment I decide to
separate (detach) my attention from them… The
world follows its rhythm, its movement, but I do
not need to involve myself in it…
I let go of the strings that pull my mind,
the strings that pull my intellect… I let go of
the strings of my responsibilities… I let go of
the strings of my relationships… I let go of the
strings of the different roles that I play
throughout the day… This moment is only for
me, to be in my own company… I concentrate all
my attention, all my energy, gently, without
forcing, on a point at the centre of my
forehead… The energy concentrates itself. I have
let go of the strings that tie me down… From
that place I can experience true freedom…
I free myself of any limited awareness of
myself… I free myself of any label of myself… I
go beyond my limited roles, beyond this physical
world…
I am a spiritual being; I am a point of light, a
spark of spiritual energy; aware, calm and
loving… I feel the true freedom of experiencing
my authentic identity and genuine… I don't have
to prove anything; simply be what I am in a
natural way… A peaceful and living being… From
this state of being I prepare myself to enter
into action. I listen again to the sounds of my
surroundings, aware that I choose at each moment
what it is that is going to influence me and how
I am going to respond…
Message for the day
To sow the seeds of pure feelings constantly is
to experience positive fruit.
Projection:
When one's feelings are constantly positive and
pure, there is no expectation of the fruit to
emerge immediately. Even if others are not able
to respond to the positivity or if situations
are not according to my expectations, there is
still the feeling of giving. So there is this
positivity expressed through the vibrations
spread around and in every word and action.
Solution:
The more I am able to have pure feelings for
those around me, the more is the positivity that
emerges from within. Because of having
discovered the positivity within, I am able to
give unconditionally. So I experience the
immediate fruit of what I have given and also
accumulate for the future, and continue to enjoy
multifold fruit of what I give.
Life is a Game
Life is a game of forgetting and remembering.
You are losing the game when you forget who you
are and what you are doing here and when you
remember the false things of the past and what
they did to you. You are winning the game when
you:
(1) remember your true identity of peace
(2) remember the One who is always peaceful and
has unconditional love for you
(3) forget the troubles of the past and move
forward with the lessons learned.
Now observe what you remember during the day and
what you forget during the day. Forget the past.
It is gone. Don't worry about the future. You do
not know it. Learn to live in the present and
discover how full it is of peaceful moments.
