Forgiveness
Rather than being quick to judge, be quick to forgive.
Different Thought Types - cont.
We had explained Necessary Thoughts yesterday. Today we
explain: Waste Thoughts
Waste thoughts are thoughts that are produced at
untimely moments that fill us with worry and anxiety
when they appear in our minds. They have no constructive
use. Unnecessary and useless thoughts are quick and
repetitive which lead you nowhere. Often they refer to
things from the past:
* If this hadn't happened ...
* Why did she have to say that to me? Too many thoughts
are about things that we cannot change, or worries about
the future:
* What will happen tomorrow?
* How will it happen?
* What will I do if I find myself on my own?
* If I had been there at the time, this disaster would
not have happened.
* If I had had this information at the time, I would
have won the case.
* When I get the degree, I will be more respected by my
superiors.
Your ability to concentrate is weakened by these useless
thoughts. If you have a lot of these thoughts you use
more energy and time to undertake each task. The origins
of negativity also reside in them.
From the time that the past has already passed and the
future is yet to come, these kinds of thoughts are not
useful and they also weaken your inner strength and
exhaust you. It is vital that we learn to avoid this
pattern of thinking. In this way you will be more
focused and your decision making capacity will improve.

Meditation On
Experiencing My Original Loveful Nature
I sit in silence, letting my thoughts go away from the
outer world... I allow my mind to relax... to calm
down... I focus my attention on the heart of my being...
My heart is like a sacred silent place where I can feel
what I really am... I am peaceful and light... a loving
soul... strong... secure... kind... I have many virtues
and qualities that I can share with others... Now my
attention is going towards the quality of love... I
imagine love like a seed in my heart waiting to
awaken... grow... and blossom... like a rose... For
this, I only have to accept... believe... feel... that I
am a soul full of love... child of the Ocean of Love… I
am a spiritual rose flower... radiating the spiritual
fragrance of love…
Letting go of the past... letting go of expectations...
fears... negative feelings... forgiving... opening my
heart... feeling that it is cleansed and this energy of
love is as pure as the clean water flowing from a
waterfall.
Nothing and nobody have touched it... this is a love
that asks for nothing in exchange... the love of a clean
heart is unselfish... free of ego and expectations... It
makes truth and sincerity grow... acceptance and
understanding... I open my heart completely to love... I
inhale deeply... I visualize my heart filling itself
with this energy of pure love... I exhale slowly... and
I visualize radiating this light of love from the
deepest part of my heart towards the world... I am a
beautiful soul of light radiating peace and love... I am
love... I love myself and accept myself and others...
Message for the day
True help is to appreciate the efforts of each one to
improve themselves.
Expression:
Not realizing that all are making effort to bring
improvement in themselves at their own level, we tend to
point out people's mistakes only to prove them wrong. It
is by proving them wrong that we want to prove ourselves
right. This doesn't help others in any way to bring a
change in them.
Experience:
We need to focus more on the
potential and unique specialties of those around us,
rather than on their faults. This will help us to
appreciate the effort that each one is making to bring
improvement in himself. Then we find that even the
corrections we give are effective, as they are more for
the benefit of the other person. This is the real help
we can give to others.
Creator of Thoughts
The one who recognizes his
innermost potential of being a creator is always
powerful. When there is this thought always in the mind,
situations don't influence negatively. On the other
hand, there is the ability to be an influence on the
situations themselves. The right kinds of thoughts, when
created, create the right kind of feelings and
personality too. When I am a creator of my own thoughts,
I am able to be free from acquired influences. I am thus
able to experience my innate feelings, which brings out
my innate personality too. I am able to experience my
true inner personality, however challenging the
situations may be. I experience the energy that creates
to be a master.
