An oasis in the Gobi desert
Change Skill
There is nothing
more certain than that the world will continue
to change. Accepting and not resisting this, is
the first and most important inner skill in this
frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests
us every day to see how well we have developed
this ability. Equally, there is nothing more
real than the inner space within each of us that
never ever changes. We may change our thoughts,
our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but
we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our
own self. The ability to be in this inner space,
where our peace is found, when all around would
prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest
spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the
storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the
place where peace is power. Call in today.
You'll be surprised how much it can influence
and change everything and everyone around you!
Tolerance
When there is love,
tolerance becomes easy. Love makes us free from
expectations, which enables us to accept people
as they are. The more
we go within ourselves we are able to discover
our own strengths. We
will automatically be a giver in all situations
and we can tolerate
very easily. Let us think of one person in whom
we are not able to
tolerate some quality. We then need to tell
ouselves that just as a
mother accepts her child even with weaknesses,
we will accept this
person as he is. When we change our attitude
towards that person we
can be tolerant.
Seven Techniques To
Let Go Off The Past (cont.)
Correction - Memories inside the soul are
like imprints or impressions on the soul. Some
impressions are deep, some are not. Negative
past experiences leave very deep negative
impressions or scars on the soul, which
sometimes take a lot of time to heal and
sometime an entire lifetime can be sent without
them getting healed. Negative past experience
imprints and negative emotions like anger,
hatred, attachment etc. are closely linked. So,
correcting the self or incorporating positive
sanskars fills the spiritual self with
positive impressions. This, over a period of
time, nullifies the effect of these negative
impressions and as a result, the related
negative memories.
Donation - Donation can be simply defined
as the distribution of the invisible attainments
one has experienced through spiritual self
transformation, to others. It helps one receive
blessings or positive energy of those whom we
donate to and gives life a focused positive
purpose, both of which help us immensely in
forgetting our past. People who live only for
themselves will find it more difficult to forget
their past as compared to ones who spend a lot
of time for others. Giving happiness to others
helps us in forgetting our griefs.
Interaction - The more we interact with
and remain in the company of positive minded
people and have positive conversations with
them, we give and receive positive energy and
the more our past gets erased from my
consciousness. Spirituality teaches us to look
inwards and experience introvertness, which we
haven't experienced for a long time. At the same
time, spirituality also teaches us to keep a
balance between looking inwards and outwards.
Composed and balanced extrovertness and healthy,
happy relationships with virtuous people help us
remain more in a present consciousness, not
giving the mind to drift too much into the past.
Soul Sustenance
The Law of
Self-Control
The more control we have over ourselves and our
lives, the happier and freer we will feel.
We sometimes get angry with other people. Why
does this happen? It is probably because they
have not met our expectations or we were trying
to control them and they have not let us.
Sometimes, the simple expectation that a person
should behave as we want them to is in itself an
attempt to control them. When we try to control
another person, which is impossible, we are
bound to fail, feel frustrated and stressed.
We are capable of having power over ourselves;
we can be more responsible for our thoughts and
feelings. We have the capacity to choose how we
respond to different situations and people that
we come across in our lives. If we do not
exercise much control over our thoughts and
emotions, we easily fall into the tendency of
seeing ourselves as victimized, and we blame
others, making them responsible in our own minds
for how we feel. When we do this, we are
forgetting that we create our own thoughts. When
this happens, we are handing over the control of
our thoughts to those who influence, criticize,
attack or slander us.
If we want to recover the control over our life,
we must learn to control our thoughts and
feelings and not blame anyone else for them. The
more self-control we have over ourselves, the
less will we want to control others and our
capacity to influence other people positively
will be greater.
Message for the
day
A single step of
courage brings a lot of progress.
Projection:
The understanding that one
can do a lot and reach great heights, enables
one to take courageously a step forward. With
each step taken with courage, there is a
hundred-fold help received. Also courage means
to understand the accurate method of achieving
things. When there is this kind of courage,
there is a lot of progress in whatever is being
done.
Solution:
The aim to achieve the best
enables me to have the courage to take a step
forward in all situations. So I am able to be
light yet powerful under all circumstances.
Because I also find myself receiving help, I am
able to further increase my own courage. There
is nothing to stop me, but I continue to
experience progress, in both the positive and
negative situations of life.
