Embrace Change
When you are aware and accept that everything
around you is constantly changing, and that you
have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able
to embrace change like a close friend! Change is
a like a river, constantly flowing and moving
things around. The river of life is constantly
bringing you ideas, people, situations - each
one is an opportunity to be enriched or to
enrich others, and to learn. Change is the play
of the universe as it entertains us in the
biggest light and sound show of all time. Why
not sit back and enjoy the show?
Increasing The Power Of Discrimination To
Improve Actions
Many people feel internally and complain that
their intellect is not as clear as they would
like. One of the aims of meditation and
spiritual knowledge is to make the intellect
strong, clear and clean, as a result of which
there is an increase in the power of
discrimination. An increase in this power helps
us maintain a sense of what is right and wrong
while performing actions and implement that
awareness.
Meditation brings about self-realizations
whereby you realize what is happening inside
you. Sometimes, while observing someone, we use
the phrase: "He/she doesn't know what he/she is
doing", referring to someone who is acting in an
incorrect way. If we are to act in an
appropriate way, we need to be aware and be
awake to the consequences (results) of our
actions. The voice of the conscience brings
with it that state of awareness, awakening,
realizing and discrimination. This is
because, in meditation you feel quiet and you
focus your thoughts inwards. In that state, the
sound of the voice of the conscience is
perceived and heard. It is a voice that is not
affected by material worries or a preoccupation
about one's image and public appearance.
During meditation, you are completely focused on
the present moment of spiritual empowerment and
not distracted by: karmas which are
necessary but unnecessary to be thought of that
time, noise, unrelated ideas of the past and the
future, mental chatter, etc., basically
everything that separates you from your true
spiritual self. In this way you can listen to
yourself within and as a result ensure to the
maximum extent that your karmas are appropriate
and accurate.
Soul Sustenance
Meditation To Discover Your Inner Beauty
Given below is a meditation to reflect on and
experience the original qualities and virtues of
the soul. When you are in contact with these
treasures, you begin to shine.
Create a space within you. Sit down and go
within. Look at your being in a different way.
Look at what beautiful things you have within,
and learn to recognize them.
I allow my body to relax ... I breathe gently
and deeply... My physical senses relax ... I can
feel more and more how my body is calming
down... I direct my attention to within, as if I
was looking through a window... I discover a
silent space... tranquil... calm... Here I feel
safe from any outside influence... I can feel
the silence ... My mind is quietening... it
becomes silent and peaceful... The expansion of
my thoughts fades... I concentrate on my true
being... The lake of my mind is serene...
clean... transparent... Everything is clear ...
I can feel my own presence... I feel the pure
energy of my being... I am shining like a
beautiful star of divine light at the centre of
my forehead... My original qualities like bliss,
love and purity begin to shine at the heart of
my soul, like a fountain of water that comes
from a spring... I begin to recognize these
treasures that rise up within me...
I concentrate on them and make them emerge,
feeling that I am those qualities... I am a
spiritual being... I am a being of light... I
shine and sparkle with unlimited peace,
happiness and love... I feel the peace... I am
at peace... I am a being of peace... I feel the
love... I am a being full of love... of good
feelings, of acceptance towards everybody... My
heart is strong... I feel that I am a being
without limitations... with great strength... I
glimpse what I really am... a being of authentic
light... strong... radiating this light towards
all people... towards the whole world... I stay
in silence ... and I smile.
Message for the day
To be elevated is to perform every task with
understanding.
Projection:
To understand means to know what to do. So the
one who understands and performs the task with
this understanding surely performs only elevated
tasks. No task is negative, or waste. Nor are
actions ordinary, but each and every action is
special because there is clear understanding.
Others too get inspiration from such actions.
Solution:
When there is clear understanding of what I have
to do, I am able to do what is right. So in this
process, I find that there is a lot of time and
energy saved and I am able to move forward very
easily. I find that I am able to use my
speciality in the right way bringing benefit to
myself and others.
Empowerment
Regardless of the existing splendor of the
artificial modern world, we are genuinely
impressed by anything that is natural, such as
beauty of nature and its living creatures,
wonders of the human body, amazing creative
abilities of the human intellect etc. We tend to
unknowingly connect or harmonize with people or
things that mirror our qualities of peace,
balance, stability or the values we aspire for.
However, a piece of artistic beauty, place of
entertainment or worship etc gives memorable but
short-lived experiences. As my Supreme Parent
and Companion, God alone can empower me with the
will to actually live by these cherished values.
When I give more time to contemplate on His
greatness and purity, I develop the courage to
unveil and share my own goodness with all.
