Sense and Spirituality
Sense is practical intelligence. Some of it is
learned, yet the implication is that we have an
inbuilt idea of right and wrong that enables us
to act accordingly.
Spirituality is about understanding the self and
realigning our sense of self with how we relate
to the world around us.
When we integrate sense and spirituality, we
engage meaningfully with a spiritual
sensibility.
Trustee
When we think of resources that God has given
us, we tend to think
that everything should be accepted blindly. Such
acceptance sometimes
leads us to become passive, or even make us to
get caught up in the
negativity of the situation. To consider
ourselves as a trustee of God
is to appreciate what is happening, knowing that
God is responsible.
It also means that we need to be a valuable
instrument and do our bit
well. When we make full effort handing over the
responsibility to God,
we are able to do our best using all the
available resources. Yet, we
don't experience the burden of the situation.
Beginning Your Spiritual Journey With Acceptance
Sometimes, in order to get a desired result from
a process, we need to let go of our resistance
and trust the process initially. In order to
restore our personal relationship with the
Supreme Father or God, we need to let go of our
old beliefs temporarily and trust the path or
process of spirituality. Given below are some
facts of spirituality, which if accepted
initially, will help you experience the Supreme
Being easily:
1. Accept that the soul and the Supreme Soul
are separate energies with the same form.
They are both points of spiritual light,
extremely small in size but with immense amount
of capabilities, virtues and powers; the Supreme
Soul, having more of them than the souls.
2. Accept that we must be proactive in
building our relationship with the Supreme(and
not depend only on Him) and also be aware, that
like any worldly relationship, this one also
takes a little time to develop.
3. Accept that the re-establishment of the
loving connection with the Supreme requires the
letting go of, not the material world of objects
and people, but our attachment to them.
In tomorrow's message, we shall explain some
more facts.

Changing Your Belief System To Overcome Feelings
Of Revenge - Part 1
It’s worth wondering, what I need to change
inside my belief system so that no feelings of
revenge exist inside me for anyone irrespective
of what someone has done to me. When someone
harms me or insults me in any way, what is the
belief that exists inside my inherent belief
system that causes feelings of revenge to emerge
inside me in the first place? It is the belief
that ‘whenever someone does something negative
to me, he hurts me, he is the victimizer and I
am a victim’. I need to change that to – ‘no
one can never hurt me, but it’s what I do with
someone’s negative actions, what shape I give
the negative actions inside my mind, that causes
me hurt, the choice lies with me’.
Two people will do two different things inside
their minds with the offensive or negative
actions of a particular person – one will create
feelings of anger, hatred, sorrow, etc which
will give rise to the desire for revenge; the
other will create feelings of peace, love and
good wishes which will give rise to only
forgiveness, with no room for revenge. In other
words, two different people will respond in
two different ways to the negativity of the so
called victimizer, depending on their belief
system, their inherent personality or nature,
their experience of similar negative actions in
the past, either committed by the same person or
by other people. All these factors will shape
their perception of the other’s actions and the
self. One will see the other or perceive the
other as the victimizer and himself as a victim
and another will not identify the other person
with his negative actions, but will instead
focus on his inherent positive nature or
positive aspects of his current personality and
will also remain unaffected himself.

Message for the day
To tighten the loose screw of carelessness is to
be powerful.
Expression:
The one who is careless is
not able to use the powers and the skills that
he has. All the positive qualities within are
wasted, because the one who is careless is not
able to use them in the best possible way. But
the one who is able to tighten the loose screw
of carelessness is able to recognize and use the
potentials that are within. So there is power
visible in such a person.
Experience:
When I am able to be free
from carelessness, I am able to move forward
with lightness and happiness. There is no
difficulty of any situations experienced and I
do everything to the best of my ability without
giving any excuses. I am able to experience
being powerful under all circumstances, as I am
the master of the situation.
