Greed
Diamond alone can cut another diamond and a
thorn alone will have to be used to remove
another thorn. The tendency to be greedy can be
cured by another facet of greed. Instead of
showing attachment towards worldly objects,
one's attention should be directed towards
divinity. We can be greedy to acquire spiritual
knowledge. Let me possess a deep desire to
develop forgiveness, politeness,
straightforwardness and peacefulness.
Taking Responsibility, Overcoming Guilt
When you free yourself of guilt, you live in
peace within. You take on responsibility and
stop sentencing (punishing) yourself internally
with feelings of guilt. Taking on
responsibility is constructive; it allows all
your potential to remain awake and flow. You
feel free and unburdened. When you get it wrong,
you can find different methods to relieve
yourself of the burden that it might imply. For
example, being sorry for or feeling sad for
something that you have done means that you are
aware that you have acted against your own
wellbeing or that of another. Realizing it is
good; it is the base for any positive change.
The important thing is not to sentence
(punish) yourself. Learn the lesson. Say sorry,
if it is the right thing. Put it right.
Remember that yesterday has already passed. The
past cannot be changed. You can't swallow the
words that you said, since you already said
them. You can't repeat the scene from yesterday
in a different way because it already happened
and stayed recorded on the film of this world
drama. Therefore, don't repeat the words or the
scene in your mind over and over again; doing
that, you keep alive something that is dead,
since yesterday already stayed behind. Learn
from the error and commit yourself to you and to
your life, promising to yourself that you will
not fall over the same stone again. You will
think about it before speaking or acting.

Soul Sustenance
The Influence Of Your Thoughts, Intentions And
Attitude On Your Destiny (cont.)
We can define three basic types of actions:
1. Actions which are impure, negative and
unclear.
2. Actions which are pure, positive and
clear.
3. Actions which are neutral.
Impure actions are those that are influenced by
negative intentions, anger, ego, bitterness,
fear, rage, revenge, lust, attachment,
dishonesty, greed, laziness, jealousy etc.
Positive actions are influenced by good
intentions and attitudes. They are actions ruled
by kindness, forgiveness, love, joy, peace,
humility, generosity, sweetness, empathy, trust,
unity etc. Neutral actions are not dictated by a
negative or positive consciousness and do not
cause a negative or positive result. Everything
remains as it was. If you do something with the
intention of bringing benefit to someone but it
does not give the result you desired, you will
not receive a negative return, because your
intention was good. However, if you carried
out an action with the intention of hurting
someone, with emotions of revenge, and that
action did not hurt the other in the way that
you wanted, you will still receive the return of
the energy that you have radiated or thrown into
the Universe.
We have to 'pay', or, in other words, we have to
reap what we have sown or have thrown into the
Universe, through our actions, attitudes and
intentions. This is called paying off karma.
That is, we have to settle the accounts in order
to clean the soul of the marks left on it by its
negative actions or intentions. We also reap the
fruits of the good seeds that we have planted.
Message for the day
The biggest treasure of all is the treasure of
experience.
Projection:
The one who has the treasure of experience is
able to bring benefit to others. He is clear in
thinking and accurate in judgment. So he is
naturally able to give directions or corrections
based on his own experiences and is also
successful in it. Also there is equality in what
he talks and does.
Solution:
To be an embodiment of experience means to learn
from everything that happens. So when I am able
to become an embodiment of experience, I am able
to feel mastery over every situation that comes
my way. The power of my experience enables me to
move lightly through all situations.
Perfection
There is a saying "No man is perfect", and so
man slides below that standard of worthiness
into imperfection with seemingly popular
consent. So look around and see the results; no
or incorrect aspirations; falling standards
externally as well as internally. Because of
imperfection, because we have accepted that man
MUST possess all the vices, because we think
them to be the basic ingredient of human nature,
we are now tottering in the brink of personal
and global collapse. In scientific terms,
perfection is accuracy and precision. Everything
is in its appropriate proportion and position.
In human behavior, perfection is the balance
acquired between the various states of
consciousness. It is the balance that comes when
the thoughts and actions are totally harmonized
in truth. Perfection is understanding that every
action, every thought, every breath would be
geared towards a specific purpose and direction
- that of total positive self realization. To
realize one's self with clear vision and
accurate knowledge is to be perfect.
