No Task Too
Difficult
If you do everything with the feeling of happiness,
there will be no task too difficult to perform.
Stability
When we are faced with difficult situations, we usually
tend to have a feeling that we have no resources or are
not able to make the best use of the resources within
for best results. Thus we are not able to experience
real progress. On the other hand we only tend to
experience a lot of negative feelings. When we learn the
art of being stable in the most negative situations, we
will know how to use the treasures that are hidden
within ourselves. Our mind is no longer disturbed with
waste or negative thoughts and we find it easy to face
and learn from each and every situation.
A Spiritual Perspective Of True Love
Emotional love can flower into true love when the fire
of emotions cools down and is substituted by a wiser and
more mature relationship. True love needs a fresh and
renewing atmosphere, without fears. When you feel
spiritually full, you feel flowing over with pleasure,
happiness, wellbeing, and that state helps you to accept
the one whom you love as they are, because from your
fullness you give and share and you don't need or expect
anything from the other. While you need something that
you want the other to satisfy, you will have
expectations and the fear that those needs might not be
satisfied, and you will get frustrated more easily. When
you feel like a being of peace, a being of love, a
tranquil being, a being that is spiritually full and
satisfied, your relationship with others is a
relationship of sharing on a level on which fear is not
generated. You are not asking for or taking anything
from the other. An elevated sharing of love, of
happiness, of knowledge, of wisdom takes place, in which
you do not generate a dependency on the other.
Attachments and dependencies, fears and insecurity,
block our experience of love, of peace, serenity,
freedom, happiness. When you have a feeling of love that
takes you to a state of joy, to wholeness, but then you
attach yourself to the object of your love, be it a
person, or a property, automatically the feeling changes
into fear: you fear to lose the object of your love and,
instead of feeling wholeness and enjoyment, you feel
fear.
Over time that attachment turns into a dependency and
you start to become inwardly empty: that is, your energy
level goes down. Love in its purest form is a like a
spring that pours forth for the benefit of others. Learn
the art of loving, being free and allowing to be. Pure,
true, love is an unconditional love that flows freely.
Do not cling (hold on to). Love does not cling.
Soul Sustenance
Creative Visualization
The incorporeal (non-physical) soul, situated in the
centre of the forehead consists of three energies.
Although each energy can be given a different name, it
is actually the same energy, the soul, functioning on
three different levels at the same time. These are the
mind, which is the thinking faculty (energy) of the
soul; the intellect, which is the decision-making and
visualizing faculty (energy) of the soul and the
personality characteristics, commonly called sanskaras.
In the practice of meditation, on one hand, the mind is
used to create pure, positive and powerful thoughts or
affirmations based on the basic qualities of the soul
like peace, contentment, happiness, love, joy, power,
etc. Along with that, the intellect is used to create
visual images of the same thoughts, which is called
creative visualization. This process brings about a
positive change in our sanskaras. This is the basic
principle used in the Rajyoga meditation taught by the
Brahma Kumaris. Creative visualization may be used in
various ways to experience true relaxation of the mind.
Message for the day
With benevolent feelings and good wishes we can free
people from worrying.
Projection:
When we come across someone who is faced with a
difficult situation because of which he is worrying, we
too usually tend to think about it. Instead of helping
the other person to be free from worrying, we too begin
to worry. This doesn't help either of us in anyway but
only adds to the negativity of the situation.
Solution:
We need to develop such benevolent feelings for the one
who is going through the situation that the power of our
positive feelings will spread to them too. It will act
like the light of the lamp, which helps to dispel the
darkness around. Only when there is positivity in the
mind will they be able to think of some solution.
