There Is God
Behind every flower there is a seed, behind
every painting there is an artist, behind every
human being there is God.
Balance of Head and Heart
In my interactions with others, I sometimes only
use my head, i.e., my logic. I am very logical
and understand the facts very clearly. But if I
keep myself limited only to the facts, I tend to
forget to use my heart. I then am not available
to the other person and fail to understand him.
In order to be successful in my interactions
with others I need to have the right balance
between my head and my heart. I need to see
beyond what the facts say and try to listen and
understand the other person too. When I do this
I will not hurt people with my attitude but will
be able to maintain harmonious relationships.
Inculcating Powers Though Meditation - The Power
To Pack Up
On the path of meditation, I am a traveler, on a
magnificent journey. I have to make some firm
choices about I what will take with me on this
journey. To pack up means to learn the lessons
of the present, then to move on, letting the
past be past. It means not carrying the baggage
of the past into my present and future, but
traveling lightly from one day to the next,
keeping only what is most useful to me. That
way, I'll enjoy the journey more, and move
faster in the direction of my choice.
I'll also be lighter in my relationships. The
power to pack up enables me to fill each
exchange I have with others with freshness and
newness, instead of allowing influences from
past encounters with them to affect my present
attitude and behaviour. When I carry emotional
or intellectual baggage from the past into my
present dealings with an individual, I don't
give that person the opportunity to express
himself freely: my attitude colours him with the
paint of my previous experience. It is important
to process the past, and learn from experience,
but then finish it, so it does not block my view
of how things are today.
Meditation helps me to acquire that discipline
of finishing negative and wasteful thoughts i.e.
inculcate the power to pack up. As the habit of
self observation develops, it doesn't take long
to understand how negative thoughts and feelings
literally negate my central aim, of re-emerging
my true nature. Negativity drains the battery of
the soul faster than anything else does.

Soul Sustenance
The Fifth Phase/Age Of Humanity (cont.)
When we recognize the precise and exact nature
of cyclic time, we can also joyfully expect and
work for a new day or the Golden Age. For this
to happen, great changes must take place in
human affairs. It is a process of change that
can only begin from within the individual. Just
as we have been responsible for the degradation
of the physical environment, of our world, so it
is we who must take up the repairs. When we
understand that all change is from soul to mind,
from then from mind to body or matter we realize
that it is our own spiritual awakening and
purification which can change our world at all
levels. As we turn to face the Source of love
and light and fill ourselves with spiritual
energy, the process of reduction in spiritual
energy of the world is slowed down and slowly
reversed. The soul returns to its original pure
and loving state. The result is a change of the
inner world of consciousness which, in turn, is
reflected in the change of the outer world that
we all share.
When we change, the world changes.

Message for the day
Balance makes life peaceful and happy.
Projection:
A life of peace is a life of balance. Sometimes,
even a single negative thought or word can throw
one out of balance. Even a virtue needs to be in
balance. For instance determination, which
provides energy and concentration necessary for
any accomplishment can become stubbornness. So
determination when balanced with patience and
flexibility creates a life of happiness.
Solution:
When I have detachment whilst using a virtue, I
am able to maintain balance. Otherwise I find
that even a virtue to an extreme takes a
negative form. Detachment enables me to
recognize the importance of the virtue and use
it in the right way, according to the
requirement.
