Cripple Effect
What goes around comes around is not a new
insight. It is something most of us intuitively
know but easily forget, as we attempt to hold on
to most things which come to us. What we don't
realize is the ripple effect can easily become
the cripple effect. Everything we think and do
not only ripples out into the world, it also
creates an impression on our own consciousness
inside. If one day you decide to get really
angry (very unrelaxing) at someone, then you
create a memory of your irritation and carve a
kind of scar or groove on your consciousness
(non-physical of course). Within this scar or
groove is a recording of the image of the person
as you have decided to perceive them, and the
energy of your anger surrounding that image.
Remember, you put it there, not them. Two days
later you see the same person and that triggers
the image and the anger which you have already
recorded within. The emotional turbulence inside
your consciousness makes it very hard for you to
remain positive, connect and communicate
effectively, positively and harmoniously with
them. In effect you are crippled and clouded by
your own emotion. Most of us experience this,
sometimes many times a day, but refuse to see
that we cripple ourselves, preferring to blame
the other person. Which is why we can stay
crippled for a long time and not even realize
it.
Clean and Clear
Normally we feel that only if we have God's love
and mercy can we move forward and progress. But
we are not always sure about what God has in
store for us. So we wait for something to happen
before we can achieve purity and perfection. It
is in fact the other way round, that the more we
come back to our pure form, where we are clean
and clear inside, the more we become worthy of
God's love and blessings. It is these blessings
that further strengthen our own specialties and
help us progress.
The Relationship Between Anger And
Attachment
Most of us logically
understand that all forms of anger are
worthlessness emotions, but when we enter into
the field of practical actions, we tend to argue
that there are some situations where the weapon
of anger has to be used and where it is
justified or allowable. When someone tries to
harm me personally, like giving sorrow to a
friend or loved one, send a complaint about my
work to the higher ups in the office or simply
insult me or bang into my car at the street
crossing for that matter, it would seem that our
anger is justified, on such occasions. But the
basic principle is the same in all these cases.
We are, in our own mind, trying to control
and change what we cannot change - the past or
other people or events.
In all the above cases above we suffer a lot
when these things that are close to us are
changed or lost. So why does that happen? It is
because we keep all these things 'too' close to
us or in other words we are over attached to
them. When someone tries to bring me down at
the workplace, or in other words tries to harm
my position in the office and I suffer because
of the same, it is because I identify with my
role in the office, I think I am the role. When
someone bangs into my car, the emotion of anger
emerges inside me, because I identify with the
car, I think I am the car! This is the deepest
mistake. It is the deepest cause of the negative
suffering called anger. We are not aware of this
of course, but if we were to take a moment and
see what we do in our minds, we would see we
emerge the image of our role or our car on the
screen of our mind. We have then gone into that
image in our mind, and we have lost our
spiritual identity or individuality in that
image. In effect we have identified completely
with the role or the car or are too attached to
them. So if the role or the car is harmed in any
way, it feels like it is happening to us and, as
a result, we become disturbed or angry.

Soul Sustenance
The Distinction (Difference) Between Human Souls
And The Supreme Soul (God)
Human Souls:
They take human bodies and experience birth,
life and death.
Supreme Soul:
Never comes into the cycle of birth and
death.
Human Souls: They are subject to change
and the dualities of pleasure and pain, growth
and decay, happiness and sorrow.
Supreme Soul: Changeless. The One beyond the
above dualities.
Human Souls: They remember and then forget
their original pure nature.
Supreme Soul: God is always the ocean of
knowledge; he does not come in the cycle of
remembering and forgetting.
Human Souls: They are seekers of peace and
happiness.
Supreme Soul: God is the One whom everyone
seeks (longs for). He is the bestower (giver) of
peace and happiness to everyone.

Message for the day
True help is to help people discover their own
specialties.
Projection: When others' negativities or
weaknesses are perceived, it is essential to
look at their positivity or specialties too.
This will naturally bring love and positivity in
the relationship and there will be an
encouragement of that positivity. So even if
that person has no recognition or has not been
using his specialty, an encouragement of it by
others will naturally enable him to begin to use
it.
Solution: Making others aware of their
specialties and subtly encouraging them to use
these specialties is a great help that I can do
for others. When I am able to give this unique
help and cooperation, I not only find benefit
for others, but I am also able to get the good
wishes of others. Even others naturally become
positive with my positive attitude.
