Summer's End
Summer, it's a time of abundance, to enjoy the
summer sun, flowers and fruits ... but, summer,
like everything else, doesn't last forever. If
summer was forever, all the energy and potential
would reach its limits and inertia would set in.
And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns;
everything moves on. Everything has it's own
time; it's own season. Remember, the end of
something good, means the start of something
also good. All you have to do is be connected
and in tune with the natural flow of nature's
energies.
Overcoming Possessiveness And Complexes In Close
Relationships (cont.)
In yesterday's message, we talked about ailments
like possessiveness and complexes
existing in our family relationships today.
Today we explain how meditation can cure these
ailments with much ease. As I practice
meditation, which is nothing but a practical
exercise of experiencing soul consciousness, I
carry that experience into my relationships.
While interacting with each one of my closest of
relations, I start becoming aware of myself as
an eternal soul, an actor on the unlimited stage
of the world, playing my act through the
physical body costume and I see each one with
the same consciousness. Also the realization
grows that the role I am playing with others now
is only one small part of the whole painting of
life. I don't know where I was, in which part of
the painting and with whom, before I took this
birth, nor where I will be afterwards. The same
is true for those with whom I am close.
Depending on the type of relationship, I do have
a particular responsibility towards each one of
them whilst we are playing our parts together,
but this only lasts a short time within this
eternal timeline e.g. as father and child, each
has a particular role today, but who knows about
yesterday or tomorrow?
In meditation, I stabilize in the consciousness
that I am an eternal soul, and that all human
beings are souls, members of a huge spiritual
family. Roles will change, but as souls, we only
have an unlimited spiritual relation, we
are brothers, but have no other permanent
physical relation. Becoming aware of this
spiritual wisdom protects me against limited
feelings of my mother, my husband, my sister and
so on, where such feelings cause possessiveness
and a desire to control, rather than pure
spiritual love filled with equality. All
problems are reduced in relationships, when the
personality trait inside me that tries to
control others, or is controlled by others, is
removed. Both of these are negative behaviors,
caused due to lack of inner security, not true
responsibility or concern. By knowing myself
as a soul, my selfrespect returns and by seeing
others in the same light, my respect for others
returns. From this strong soul-conscious
spectator point, there is an inner detachment
(but not a lack of love) inside me and I'll no
longer feel a need to manipulate others or be
manipulated by the other, but instead I will
radiate pure feelings of genuine love, care and
respect into my relationships. This causes the
same energy to come back to me from my
relationships.
Soul Sustenance
The Journey Of Time (cont.)
In yesterday’s message, we had explained how the
Law of Entropy works on a physical level. When
the Law of Entropy is applied to spiritual
energy, our virtues, to the quality our
thoughts, words and actions, we can perhaps
begin to see why, as individuals, we feel tired
and old in virtues, irrespective of whether we
are young or old physically. We can also
understand why we succumb to negative thoughts,
words and actions more easily than being
influenced by the positive. In fact, the entropy
of our virtues i.e. the spiritual entropy has
followed the same pattern as the entropy of the
physical world or the physical entropy
(explained yesterday) i.e. the spiritual
energy or the energy of the virtues of the world
has been reducing (as the world has become older
and older) because it has not been renewed or
re-energized from a source outside the system.
When we accept this movement from new to
old, we understand the journey of time in a
completely different way.
As we look backwards into the journey of time,
we find that although there have been very
important scientific discoveries and global
communication has improved immensely, which have
all contributed to the give everyone an illusion
of progress, everyone accepts that we are not
enjoying healthier, more loving and peaceful
relationships with ourselves, each other or the
planet Earth. The reason for this is understood
easily by applying the second law of time i.e.
everything new becomes old. At the present
moment, the source from outside the world system
(on a spiritual level) which is required to
re-energize it and restore it to its original
new stage is the Supreme Soul or God or the
Spiritual Sun, who is an ocean of spiritual
energy and divine values or virtues. In
meditation we, as living beings, who are part of
the world system, can absorb this energy or
divinity from him and contribute to this
process.
Message for the day
Cleanliness of the intellect brings accurate
decision making.
Projection:
When the intellect is not clear, it is
constantly wandering and it becomes tired. A
tired intellect is not able to concentrate
properly and so whatever decisions are made at
that time are not so accurate. When there is
cleanliness within there are no waste or
negative thoughts and the entire thought power
is used in the right way and so the right
decisions are made.
Solution:
When I am clean within, I am able to experience
lightness. Because I am clean and clear within,
I find that I do not have any conflict or
difficulty in making decisions. Instead I will
be able to find the flow of thoughts moving in
the right direction very naturally. So I find
things also moving in the right direction.
Trust
Many believe it is ignorant to trust the innate
goodness of human beings, because you will be
taken for a ride. But won't this mistrust
gradually affect my own character and perception
of life? Is it worth being insecure at every
step just because others are dishonest? It is
only when I have unreasonable expectations of
others that I get disappointed with their
inability to reciprocate my love and trust. God
loves me irrespective of whether I am worthy of
His love. His faith in me is so pure and
powerful that it transforms me. Let me give as
God gives; let me trust as God trusts.
