Spiritual Language
To create the future we desire we need a
spiritual language; we must speak from the heart
and in the language of the soul - a language of
trust, faith and higher values, of inner growth,
love and listening.
The Moment
The most powerful anchor on our potential to
soar high in life is the past. The past contains
the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs
and all our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin
until we are able to say goodbye to the legacies
of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the
past is a resource of information for learning,
but it is not a place to live. When you go to
work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet
? How often will you/did you live in the past
today ? Say goodbye and make it final. Saying
farewell to yesterday, last month and last year
is the sign of a person who wants to live for
today and is truly alive to all the
possibilities of 'the moment', while fully aware
that all they think, say and do right now,
creates tomorrow.
Uprooting The Emotion Of Worry (cont.)
In yesterday's message, we had explained how
worry is the wrong use of the imaginative
capacity of the mind and intellect. On the other
hand, imagining possible positive outcomes or
results will have a double effect of not only
keeping the negative outcomes away from us (even
if there is a possibility of them occurring),
but will also attract the positive results
towards us. But to ensure that both these
processes happen, it's important not to attach
possible negative results to the same, even to
the minutest extent, otherwise the probability
of positive futures becoming a reality reduces.
Worrying is another word for this attachment
process.
Worry is a type of mental habit, which arises
from the belief that it's good to worry. This
belief gets acquired during our childhood. And
then it keeps getting strengthened from our life
experiences. We start from this belief. That
attracts negative circumstances; as a result the
belief gets strengthened further, because you
think that with life full of so many negative
circumstances, it's important to think of
negative outcomes beforehand. You don't realize
that these negative situations occurred in the
first place largely due to this belief. When we
are faced with a negative situation, again we
worry because we hold that belief. Again it's
the same result. In this way, we are caught in a
vicious cycle. How do we come out of this cycle?
By changing this belief to - 'it's not good to
worry'. Once we do that, there is no guarantee
that negative situations will completely stop
arising in our life, because we have performed
negative actions in the past (either in this
birth or past births), which need to be settled
in our present, but the extent of negative
situations will be minimized. And even if they
do come, they will bid goodbye sooner, if we
have a worry-free consciousness.
Soul Sustenance
A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith In Critical
Situations (Part 3)
In the latter part of the birth-rebirth cycle,
as our accounts of negative karma increased,
we have experienced large number of ups and
downs in the four parameters explained in the
last two days messages – mind, body, wealth
(or profession) and relationships. All
these bitter experiences, which we obviously do
not remember today, have weakened us and left
deep scars on our subconscious mind and are in
fact the main cause of the creation of sanskaras of
fear, uncertainty, doubt, pessimism, etc. which
we find in ourselves today. Repeated
experiences cause the formation of similar sanskaras.
If we experience peace repeatedly i.e. we think
about peace, visualize peace, make peaceful
conversations repeatedly,sanskaras of
peace are created inside us. In the same way
each time something went wrong with any of the
four parameters (mentioned above) in the past
births; due to a lack of spiritual awareness and
power, we experienced sorrow, pain,
peacelessness, anxiety etc. and that caused the
creation of similar sanskaras inside us.
This is the main reason why today we find
ourselves in a situation, when faced with a
problem, we are not being able to have the faith
in ourselves, that we can emerge victorious in
the situation.
We have experienced failure in the past
births at different points of time and many
times and that is why each time something goes
wrong, although we emerge thoughts of victory we
dilute these thoughts with a large number of
weak thoughts, of possible failure. This
kind of a weak consciousness during problems is
not only prolonging the time period of our
problems but is also keeping the solution away
much longer. Today, with the help of
spirituality, we need to inject the power of
faith in our thoughts, words and actions. For
that, we need to increase our thought power
tremendously, which will have an effect on our
words and actions automatically. The food of
powerful thoughts through listening to or
reading spiritual knowledge and the experience
of emotional power through meditation given to
the mind only can heal the emotional scars
inside us over a period of time, the result of
which we can become full of fierce determination
and will-power so as to weaken negative
situations and not let situations weaken us.
Message for the day
As is the consciousness, so are the thoughts,
words and actions.
Expression:
To have the right consciousness means to
identify oneself with one's own specialities and
powers and not to work with weaknesses. When
there is such an elevated consciousness, then
there is power in all thoughts, words and
actions. Effort need not be put for specially
making them powerful and effective. Even if they
are tried to be made powerful without changing
the consciousness the effort put goes in vain.
Experience:
As I have a powerful consciousness and I am set
firmly on this seat, no outside situation or
person can disturb me or my internal state of
mind. I am free from negative and waste and also
from being ordinary. I am free from labouring
and of having to fight with my thoughts in order
to maintain the right thoughts. And I find that
there is only speciality within. Others too are
able to take benefit from this speciality.
