Trust yourself
You must
begin to trust yourself. If you do not then you
will forever be looking to others to prove your
own merit to you and you will never be
satisfied. You will always be asking others what
to do, and at the same time resenting those from
whom you seek such aid.
Sharing
The best things in
life are free so share what you have, freely,
all without needing acknowledgement or
recognition.
Even if you only have a little, share it openly.
You'll feel richer for it!
Different Thought
Types (cont.)
We have explained Necessary, Unnecessary and
Negative Thoughts in the last few days. Today we
explain:
Positive Thoughts Positive thoughts are
those thoughts which give us and others the
experience of our original virtues like peace,
love, bliss, happiness, etc. They enable you to
accumulate inner strength and equip you to be
constructive. Positive thoughts are always
beneficial in all circumstances, without
trapping you in the external appearance of a
situation.
Thinking positively does not mean ignoring the
reality of your world and living in a fantasy or
longing to be another person. For example, if
you were to repeat over and over again, "I am
well, am well," when you were ill, this is not
what we mean by positive thinking.
Thinking positively involves looking at problems
and recognizing reality, but at the same time
being able to find solutions without becoming
obsessed or confused. This often requires
tolerance, patience and common sense.
A person who thinks positively is aware of the
weaknesses of others, but even then will direct
their attention towards their positive
characteristics.

Soul Sustenance
Varied
(Different) Concepts About The Supreme Being or
God (Part 2)
There is an endless variety of human theories
and concepts which appear to create confusion
and even hatred among people when they are
opposed to each other, but ultimately I must ask
myself how far "I", the individual, have the
experience of His powers and qualities.
The basis of forming a relationship with anyone
is knowledge of who they are, what they look
like, where they are from, and what they do.
Similarly if I am to have the awareness of
myself as a soul, and emerging from that, a
close relationship with God, the Supreme Soul,
then I must know:
• Who He is?
• What His form is or what does He look like?
• Where He is or where does He reside (stay)?
• What His personality traits or sanskars
are?
• What His acts or karmas are?
• What is my relationship with Him?
God is living and real, not a matter of
scientific research. It is necessary for me to
re-establish a living relationship with Him, on
the basis of complete knowledge of Him. My
connection should not be based on the fears and
superstitions of the past.
Message for the
day
The method to
stay in constant enthusiasm and to keep others
enthusiastic is to see specialities in others.
Projection:
Many times while I am
sincerely working towards my task, I find myself
losing my enthusiasm. I also might find people
not very happy with me or my work. I do make an
attempt to understand their feelings but fail to
do so. Such negative responses further reduce my
enthusiasm.
Solution:
I need to develop the art of
looking at specialities in people. The more I am
able to see their positive qualities, the more I
am able to relate to them with that speciality.
This encourages the other person further to use
that speciality. This will naturally keep me
constantly enthusiastic
