Lightness
By seeing the defects of others you will become tired.
By seeing only what is good you will feel light.
Detachment
The one who is detached is
able to watch each and every scene with a neutral state
of feeling. So he is able to act quickly and take the
right decision in a second. He is not caught up with the
situation so he is able to look at things with the right
perspective. He is also able to make use of the
available resources to better the situation. When I am
detached I am able to be free from the negativity of the
situation. I am cool and calm even in the worst
situation. My detachment gives me the courage and
strength to act to the best of my ability in the given
situation. I neither jump to conclusions nor do I move
away, but am able to give my best.

Soul Power over Role
Power (Part 3)
Continuing from yesterday’s message, the remaining
components of soul power are:
The power of good wishes, desires and feelings full
of love for others, while coming in contact with them.
These type of feelings will bring good wishes in return
from the other to you, which will not only empower you,
but will also assist your physical role on a subtle
level.
The power of complete purity and cleanliness in
thoughts, words and actions - A state where one is
not under the influence of vices like anger, ego,
attachment, greed, hatred, jealousy etc.
The 8 main powers - the power to tolerate,
accommodate, face, pack up, discriminate (or discern),
judge (or decide), withdraw and co-operate – their
implementation on an internal and external level i.e.
not only in words and actions, but also on a thought
level. Where there is lack of any of the above powers
inside me, there will definitely be waste and you will
be weakened, which reduces the probability of success of
your role.
The power of truth or spiritual wisdom - A state
where the self has deeply realized and understood
eternal truths of the soul, the Supreme and the Law of
Karma and has drawn immense amount of power and
experience from that knowledge. The power of physical
knowledge would fall under role power, which has been
explained earlier.
By focusing on each of the above components of soul
power and those explained in yesterday’s message, by
giving them more weightage and using them along with the
components of the role, which were mentioned in the
message before that, one can experience the desired
success in any role in any sphere of life very easily
without much effort.
Message for the day
Self-respect increases when one learns to converse
positively to the self.
Expression:
The
usual way to talk to the self is to talk to the most
superficial aspects of the personality, those which are
related to fears (including those of the future),
complaints and mindless repetition of things in the
past. Such talk to the self only lowers the self-respect
to a great extent.
Experience:
Not only when our mind is going towards waste and
negative, but at all times, it is important that we talk
to the mind with love, as we would talk to a child. Like
a mother would lovingly explain to the child, we need to
teach our mind with love. This creates true happiness
within and our self-respect increases.
