Meditation
A racing mind that reacts
sensitively to little things indicates thinking that has
lost its spiritual strength. Meditation restores that
strength.
The Two Close Companions Of Peace (Meditation)
Sit comfortably and relax... Remind
yourself of your spiritual form as a soul - a point of
subtle light (non-physical light), a sparkling star,
situated between the two eyebrows... Now visualize your
star-like form and emerge the feelings of peace looking
at this form with your mind's eye... experience
stability and contentment in this inner value of peace,
peace is your own treasure... Fully let go off all your
concerns, tensions and worries and allow all of yourself
to become deeply peaceful... Now, feel the vibrations
(energy waves) of your peaceful light form radiating
outwards into the world... Be aware that the vibration
of your peaceful form is like a gift... Consciously
transmit this gift of peace with the pure desire of
calming and relieving the stress and peacelessness of
others...
As you radiate the power of your peace into the world,
you do so with great love... As you give the gift of
peace, with love, you are aware that you are able to
serve others, reach out to others, in this invisible but
extremely significant way... This awareness brings about
a new sense of meaning in your life and you experience
deep feelings of happiness within your heart... It is a
happiness which takes the form of bliss, a bliss or
satisfaction experienced as an invisible fruit received
in return of unconditional serving... You realize that
your peace does not live alone... True peace is that
which is shared with others... it always has with it its
closest companions... an experience of love and a
feeling of pure happiness...
Our basic spiritual characteristics of peace, love and
happiness are values that can be compared to the primary
colors of the soul. While the soul can experience these
values, it is only when they are mixed together (to give
different shades) that they emerge though our attitudes
and behaviors as virtue. Virtuous thoughts, words and
actions restore balance and harmony to our inner life
and to our external relationships.
Soul Sustenance
The Gender Of God
In a large number of religious traditions, all over the
world, God is always referred to as a male entity. But,
just as the soul does not have a gender and is neither
masculine nor feminine, God’s i.e. the Supreme Soul’s
gender is neither male nor female specifically.
Therefore, as a soul, a spiritual child of God, I can
come close to God without any inhibitions or difficulty,
which I may experience in any relationship in the
physical world, due to the gender of the body I am
occupying.
We need to take a look at the Supreme Being or God
closely. The Supreme Being is the Supreme Mother who
provides spiritual sustenance and whose love is full of
unconditional acceptance. No matter what has happened,
how my nature or personality may be, I experience
unconditional acceptance from God. It's a love that
strengthens me, as well as it purifies me. At the same
time, God is also the Supreme Father, a very powerful
entity, who provides protection and fills the soul with
the inheritance of divine qualities and powers. It's a
question of just being an innocent child and claiming
that inheritance. These are the first two relationships
that have to be experienced with God.
The Supreme is a balance of being feminine, having the
qualities of caring, giving and full of good wishes and
masculine at the same time, having the qualities of
power, authority and fearlessness. He
is She and She is He. These two relationships with God,
whereby God plays both the roles of both parents are the
basis of my spiritual development. Spirituality
introduces to us the concept of taking a new spiritual
birth to the Supreme Father and Mother. This birth is
based on a change of consciousness. One needs to let go
of the negative, impure and sorrowful past and develop a
new consciousness, based on the present introduction to
spirituality, which is positive, pure and blissful. The
awareness of the self as a soul changes my way of
looking at things immensely, but the consciousness of
being a child of God, who is the Mother as well as the
Father and seeing others with that vision brings respect
and love for myself. Then all these qualities start
showing in my actions and interactions as well.
Message for the day
Others experience
sweetness when words are filled with the power of truth.
Projection:
False sweetness is saying that
something is good without having taken the pains to find
out what it is i.e., commenting on something
superficial. Sweet words are those that are spoken after
having understood the reality.
Solution:
In order for our words to have an effect on others, we
must take time to see if we have really understood the
goodness in the other person. Our each comment should be
based on the truth that we have discovered in others and
we will find others taking benefit from our words.
An Open Heart
When your heart is open and
clean you will be humble. Humility needs a good home to
dwell in. When the mind is filled with negative feelings
or biased ideas towards anyone, you cannot use your
humility. So fill your mind with positive thoughts
towards everyone. If you have negative thoughts towards
anyone, make an attempt to remove them. Tell yourself
that you don't like one particular aspect in that person
and not the person himself. In this way you will help
the other person also to bring about change.
