Feeling Great
Feeling great is about putting our life in
order, rather than having a good time or feeling
good at any cost; it is about bringing our inner
world into harmony, developing the maturity to
align our inner world of thoughts, attitudes and
feelings with our outer world of actions, words
and relationships. If there is confusion inside,
there will be confusion outside.
Happiness
There is happiness when each moment is used in a
worthwhile way.
Happiness is such nourishment that it can
transform a person from weak
into powerful. It makes difficult things easy
and heavy things light.
To remain happy and share happiness with others
is a great act of
charity. No matter what happens, my happiness
should not be lost.
The Method Of Realizing Your Purpose (cont.)
A
question that can help you to find the purpose
for your self is: when you feel absolutely on
top of the world, very much content and full of
enthusiasm, what is there in you?Who are you
at that moment? What is the energy inside you at
that time? What do you give to your surroundings
and to others? This stage is something that you
want to reach all the time and keep with you.
Ask yourself that question. Visualize that
moment, which at some time in life you must have
experienced. If not, visualize what you would
like to experience.
Second question to find your purpose related to
the world: What is it that you want to
radiate to others? What is it that you want to
give? That is, what do you want to devote
yourself to? This isn't limited to your job
or a hobby or a sport for e.g., but rather
applies to what you offer and radiate in the
whole day, in relationships, with people through
your thoughts, words and actions - in the
family, at work, in the market, friends,
acquaintances and even strangers.
To carry out this inner inquiry (in both the
cases above) you need to go to its deepest part.
What is your purpose? Not your purpose for this
weekend you want to go for the club meeting or
not, or that in the holidays you want to visit a
hill station; all these are short term purposes.
Your life purpose refers to what it is that you
really want to reach. If you clarify it, it will
help you to make decisions with clarity and
determination in your life.
Soul Sustenance
Important Understandings on Reincarnation (Part
3)
6. The world's population is increasing at such
a rapid rate, indicating that the souls already
here are taking rebirth and also that there are
new ones coming down continuously from the soul
world.
7. If one believed that one will receive the
fruit of one's actions, if not in this birth,
but in another one, a person would surely feel
less inclined to perform negative actions.
8. Without reincarnation, it is impossible to
explain how every soul has reached its present
peaceless state. Thousands of sins have been
performed by each soul in its past births under
the influence of the five vices – lust, anger,
greed, ego and attachment. Due to this, sanskars of
those vices have accumulated over the soul. The
burden of these sanskars weighs heavily
on the soul and causes it unhappiness in the
present. The present cycle of birth and rebirth
is fast approaching its end. It is precisely at
this time that the Supreme Soul can relieve us
from this burden.
Message for the day
The way to bring about a change is to have the
desire to change.
Expression:
When there are excuses given
not to bring about change, then nothing can ever
be changed. There is always blame on others and
situations and there is no desire to change.
Instead if there is the readiness to take up the
responsibility of bringing about a change, there
is initiative and commitment. Accordingly,
effort is put in and there is success in the
desired change.
Experience:
Instead of bringing about
change as required, if I continue to blame
others, I will continue to try to escape from
that situation. But if I do so, I find that the
same difficulty will occur either with someone
else or in some other situation. The easiest
thing for me is to change myself. When I have
the desire to do so, I find it easily happening
and I find help coming from outside also.
