Start Early
The best time to awaken both body and spirit is in the early
morning. We are fresh, in solitude, and the
vibrations of the world
are at their calmest. It is not surprising that
you will find all
experienced meditators and yogis up with the
dawn, inviting the
sun of spirit to shine into the heart of their
soul. The first half hour
of conscious awareness will be the foundation of
your day. Make
an early start. Meditate, set the switch of your
consciousness and
calibrate your energy for the day. You'll be
surprised the
difference it makes.
To be a hero actor is to have full responsibility.
I need to understand that I am the hero actor of my life and
everything
revolves around me. If the story has to be
interesting, entertaining and
good, I need to be sure that as a lead actor I
am making the right moves.
Once I ensure my actions are good, the drama of
life unfolds and beautiful
scenes are revealed to me. Today I will remind
myself that I am the master
of my life and have the ability to write my own
script. With this power, I will
do at least one thing that will create a
beautiful 'today' for myself. It could
be something as simple as smiling at a stranger
or appreciating someone
whom I have been working closely with me.
The Spiritual Concept Of Becoming A Trustee (cont.)
In the physical world, one common example of a
trustee is when a multimillionaire does not have any heirs, he or she will leave his or wealth in
the
hands of a trustee or a group of trustees, to ensure the right use of his/her
wealth as per his/her last wish. Another common
example is of trustees
associated with temples and welfare
organizations. All the wealth and
ornaments that devotees offer in temples out of
faith, love and devotion for
God or all the wealth and property that people
give in charity to welfare
organizations is taken care of by a group of
trustees. In all these cases and
more, while taking care of the wealth, honest
trustees always keep the consciousness that this is not their wealth
or property and will always use it in the right way, as they have
been directed. This is called 'keeping the trust' of the
owner/owners of the wealth,
hence the word trustee.
In this way, now as a trustee, throughout the
day I keep a consciousness
that the treasures of my mind, my thoughts,
words, actions, virtues,
powers, time, my physical wealth, physical body
etc. are the Supreme
Being's property and I have been appointed as a
trustee to take care of
them. In this way, I will use these treasures in
a positive way, for a positive
purpose (as mentioned earlier for a purpose of
bringing myself and other
close to a state of truth) only; in a way the
Supreme Being wants me to and
has instructed me to do so. This establishes a
relationship of detachment
with the treasures I possess and also brings
about my spiritual self-growth.
Soul Sustenance
Maintaining Positivity
When we feel ourselves to be surrounded by
violence, suffering and pain,
we find it difficult to sustain hope. We need to
understand the causes of
that suffering, to go to the root that brings it
into being, since only thus will
we be able to keep the light of hope on.
Understand that pain is a sign that
indicates to us that something has to change. If
your tooth didn't hurt you
wouldn't go to the dentist nor would you realize
that something in your
tooth isn't working. In the same way, emotional
and mental pain suggests
to us that something is not right. Understanding
the signs that suffering
brings us helps us to accept the causes of the
pain and to generate the
power to transform or change it. Out of
understanding, acceptance and
being willing to change, we relieve the pain and
keep hope alive.
In spite of all the international, national,
local, family and personal conflicts
that there may be, there are many positive
things to be happy about. There
are more and more people becoming aware of the
importance of personal
development, and of taking care of oneself on a
physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual level. There is a list of positive
things and situations to be
happy about. Be grateful for and discover the
benefit that there is behind
everything that happens. All of it helps you to
strengthen hope in yourself,
in others and in humanity.
Message for the day
To understand and accept people's ideas is to
increase the power
of unity.
Expression:
When one suggests something and the other
accepts, it gives
power to the gathering. So instead of expecting
others to accept
suggestions, it is better to understand and
provide with what the other
person needs. The more something is given with
generosity there is
happiness for the one who is receiving and for
the one who is giving. And
there is power because of being together in the
task.
Experience: If I take something with
force I find that others give it to me
only temporarily. Instead if I give with
happiness, I find that others are able
to share with me with happiness. So what I give,
I find, remains with me
permanently. So there is an experience of
fullness and the happiness of
having attained even while giving. And with this
I am able to experience the
power of unity, and the joy of doing things
together.
