Heart Song
Everyone has a song in their heart. Everyone has a reason for being
here and a season for making their highest,
greatest most auspicious contribution. No one
knows what that is or when that is for anyone
else. Only our own heart knows what and when it
is for us. Your heart wants to sing. Don’t die
with your music still within you. There is a
reason for everything and a purpose to your
life. Too many fail to listen to the song in
their heart and therefore fail to find their
purpose and their part. What makes your soul
sing and your heart dance? Actually you heart is
your soul and you are both! Ask this one
question of yourself but don’t be in a hurry to
answer it. Live in the question for a day, a
week, a month. Let it invite your heart to speak
to you. And when you are absolutely sure what
your heart is saying is true then begin to
invoke the changes necessary in your life so
that you live in alignment with your song. Be
patient with this.
Insight
Just as appearances
in life are deceiving, so what we see in within
ourselves during our meditation can also be
deceiving. While we have
two eyes to observe the world around us, we have
a third eye through
which we can see our inner world of beliefs,
experiences, memories,
traits and tendencies. This is the eye of the
intellect which is
designed to give us insight (sight inwards). It
is a vital aspect of
our consciousness which we need in order to
understand ourselves and
others. This insight alone reminds us we are
responsible for
everything we think, feel and do, and that we
have the power to choose
how we experience and respond to life around us.
To someone with a
victim mindset this one insight represents
liberation. As meditation
sharpens the focus of our inner eye, a thousand
other insights are
possible and enlightenment is never far.
Projection Of
Mental Energies In Relationships
Sometimes in relationships, you believe
that the other person is hurting you because
they do not meet your desires, but in such cases
how can you know if it is really true? Let's
go a step ahead; does the belief that they
are going to hurt you influence the situation
until in the end it happens? Perhaps they
won't hurt you. Your belief that the other is
going to hurt you is not so powerful that it
will necessarily affect the other person. But it
affects you yourself. They may not hurt you at
all finally, but you will end up hurt, you will
become emotionally ill, even psychically ill
sometimes. The symptoms will begin to show
themselves and you will say: "Did you see? I
feel hurt, I keep telling you so." So your
belief caused you to get hurt and not
the other.
The other person isn't you. In relationships,
a moment comes when you don't know if it is
their fault or yours, if it is their
responsibility or yours, if that person has
caused the irritation inside you, or if it was
you, if that person began the argument or it was
you, if they created the conflict or if it was
you, because we project (throw) our energies
onto each other. All of this drives us to
frustration. A lot of power, negative or
positive, is needed for a person to be able to
influence others with their consciousness, it is
easier to influence ourselves. This is a basic
principle of human relationships, which we don't
understand. We don't understand, and the reason
is that we don't see ourselves, because we are
always looking at the other, putting the
responsibility onto them, blaming them,
criticizing them.
Soul Sustenance
At
Peace with Time - The Key To Relaxed Living
(Part 3)
To live at peace with time is to live it with
peace, trust and determination. It is different
to living it out of conflict and forcing things.
In order to live true freedom of being, we
have to make friends with time and stop living
stressed in time. We have to trust.
Trust that you will arrive on time, that you
will do it on time and, if not, that a
particular problem will be solved. Don't let
time be a stress factor. When we live stressed
because of time, we lose the best of life. We
stop living what is essential and important, and
we get lost in the details: I have to go here, I
have to finish this, I have to call up someone,
and endless amounts of 'I have tos' that consume
our mental energy and make us get lost in the
details of the trivial (ordinary). As well, in
hurrying, we lose quality. You can do
everything, but without losing what is
essential; do it with love, with care, with
interest, with enthusiasm, with motivation and
with focus. That way every small action that
you take will have a greater impact, will be
more fulfilling and will bear a more positive
fruit.

Message for the day
To have the
ability to listen is to learn
Expression:
When there is the ability to
listen there is the ability to understand others
and what they are saying. So the one who listens
is able to learn from every situation and each
and every person whom he comes across. So what
he does and what he speaks is much more
effective.
Experience:
When I understand that I am a
student for my entire life, I am able to be open
to learning. So I am able to listen
whole-heartedly. Then, instead of only putting
across what I have to say, I am able to pay
attention to what others are saying too. I am
thus able to enrich myself with new treasures
constantly.
