Create Vision
Never believe anyone who
says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of
personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is
the arena of creation and vision is what we are
constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself
today - patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and
negative? What do you prefer? So be creative - what does
patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that
is different when you are patient and you are expressing
your power to ....wait? Always start with vision not
action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do
it. This is how we create our own life.
The Search For
Happiness And A Beautiful Relationship
Throughout history, human beings
have desired and searched for two things, happiness and
a perfect loveful and beautiful relationship. It is
interesting to realize that you cannot search for what,
you have not already had or known. In other words, we
search for these two things because inside us we have a
deep subconscious memory of the original, perfect and
eternal relationship with our Friend, Guide and Parent,
the One remembered as God, Allah, Ishwar, etc. It is
only when we restore our relationship with this Being is
that we can experience true happiness or bliss. Bliss is
the highest form of spiritual happiness we can
experience. It is experienced only when we are free of
all attachment, when we no longer identify wrongly with
anything physical and when our inner mental state is not
dependent on anything or anyone.
At its highest level and in its purest state, our
relationship with God is non-dependent and
unconditional, and therefore blissful. Deep within the
soul, there is a memory of the bliss of this perfect
union and it is this memory that inspires us to search
for the perfect relationship, for the perfect happiness.
However, instead of seeking it at the spiritual level,
we seek at the level of personality and body. We search
in those around us for the perfect partner - our soul
mate. It is not incorrect to have worldly relationships,
but there needs to be a deep realization inside each one
of us that our true soul mate, is the One with whom we
can have an ever-lasting, eternal relationship, the One
with whom we have the deepest eternal bond (over a
period of many births), the One from whom we will
experience everlasting, eternal, unconditional
attainments.
Soul Sustenance
Stepping Inside … (cont.)
When we learn to become silent we become more
compassionate (generous) in our outlook and start
accepting others for who they are.
The more we are able to accept, the sooner we find that
there is harmony (peacefulness) in our relationships. We
start saving energy, sparing or reducing our thoughts
and our words. This is accompanied by more patience,
tolerance, flexibility, easiness and lightness. Silence
teaches us the art of living. Silence can be misused to
isolate oneself and go into loneliness, but true,
positive silence gives us a balance between our inner
and outer worlds. Having explored our inner self we
collect our positive energy, become aware of our
qualities, and then very naturally these are expressed
externally. We move our concentration to the inner
self and then to the external world. Then we go inwards
again. It is a circular movement. As we go into
silence, we recharge our inner energies, become one with
the self, heal our self, relax and release our self from
negativity. There are so many benefits by simply
stepping inside to meet our true self. As we draw out
our internal riches and resources, what do we do with
them? We share them and give them out and in doing this
we receive and we learn.
Message for the day
Knowledge and faith
bring the ability to be positive
Projection:
Whenever things don't happen
according to what we expect we begin to look at
everything negatively. We are caught up with the
negativity to such an extent that we are not able to
find anything that might be positive in it.
Solution:
We
need to understand and develop the faith that behind
everything seemingly negative there is something
positive. It is up to us whether we want to see positive
in negative or negative in positive and be influenced
accordingly.
Anger
Anger can be likened to a bull in a
china shop. In the process of expressing its own truth,
it destroys all the goodness that may still be around.
Then the question arises: would it have been better to
live with the minor untruth than to cause such extensive
damage? Anger is a vice which, in its gross form, will
directly and instantly cause great harm to the self and
others. Sometimes we use the vice of anger for the sake
of truth or what we believe to be right. We use it to
justify the fact that someone else has lied or stolen or
worse. However, anger in itself is wrong and thus it can
never be justified. Two wrongs do not make a right. And
someone else's wrong does not give me the permission to
commit an even greater violence. Anger will finish only
when we begin to understand the real damage it causes.
