The Power of Thoughts
Thoughts are more powerful than actions because
they are the creators of actions. You have to
keep in mind that the thought-waves of your good
wishes and pure feelings, your vibrations of
peace and love, can once again bring harmony in
nature and happiness in the world.
True Love
When there is true love, there is an expression
of inner growth - not
just for oneself but benefit for others too.
When there is true love,
there is the ability to express one's own
qualities without being
negatively influenced by others' negative
character traits. To love is
to know that what is being given is true. When I
have true love for
those around me, I am able to win the hearts of
others. Since the
expression of my love is consistent, others are
able to return that
love and give me good wishes. I find myself as a
source of support
for others and they are able to use me as a
support for their growth.
Meditation To Discover Your Inner Beauty
Given below is a meditation to reflect on and
experience the original qualities and virtues of
the soul. When you are in contact with these
treasures, you begin to shine.
Create a space within you. Sit down and go
within. Look at your being in a different way.
Look at what beautiful things you have within,
and learn to recognize them.
I allow my body to relax ... I breathe gently
and deeply... My physical senses relax ... I can
feel more and more how my body is calming
down... I direct my attention to within, as if I
was looking through a window... I discover a
silent space... tranquil... calm... Here I feel
safe from any outside influence... I can feel
the silence ... My mind is quietening... it
becomes silent and peaceful... The expansion of
my thoughts fades... I concentrate on my true
being... The lake of my mind is serene...
clean... transparent... Everything is clear ...
I can feel my own presence... I feel the pure
energy of my being... I am shining like a
beautiful star of divine light at the centre of
my forehead... My original qualities like bliss,
love and purity begin to shine at the heart of
my soul, like a fountain of water that comes
from a spring... I begin to recognize these
treasures that rise up within me...
I concentrate on them and make them emerge,
feeling that I am those qualities... I am a
spiritual being... I am a being of light... I
shine and sparkle with unlimited peace,
happiness and love... I feel the peace... I am
at peace... I am a being of peace... I feel the
love... I am a being full of love... of good
feelings, of acceptance towards everybody... My
heart is strong... I feel that I am a being
without limitations... with great strength... I
glimpse what I really am... a being of authentic
light... strong... radiating this light towards
all people... towards the whole world... I stay
in silence ... and I smile.
Soul Sustenance
From Knowledge To Experience - Part 1
One aspect of practical spirituality is the
practice of values such as tolerance, patience,
flexibility, humility (egolessness) etc. Another
is for the meditator actually to experience the
highest level of consciousness. It is said
that when this highest level of consciousness is
experienced, there is the strength to practice
those values that create well-being. How can
we go beyond the stages of information,
knowledge and even wisdom to experience
the original state of the soul, that is, truth?
One way to describe the above process is to
compare it to the game of the pole-vaulter. The
pole-vaulter has a long pole to help jump over
the barrier. The athlete runs for a short
distance, and then quickly fixes the pole into
the ground, enabling the body to be lifted up.
When the athlete reaches a certain point in the
air, the very pole that was used to get to that
point is discarded; if the athlete fails to let
go of the pole, then the body will be propelled
backwards and it will be impossible to
accomplish the task of jumping over the
barrier.
We shall explain this comparison tomorrow.
Message
for the day
To remain in peace is to give support to those
around.
Expression:
If there is inner peace even
when there is negativity all around, there is
the ability to give support to those around. The
biggest service that one can do is to give this
support to those in need during challenging
times. The one who remains in peace even in
chaotic conditions becomes an example also.
Experience:
When I am able to maintain my
own inner state of calm under all circumstances,
I am able to learn from everything that happens.
I am able to bring benefit for those around me
because of the vibrations of positivity that I
am able to spread. I become a source of
inspiration and support for all those in need.
