Look Inwards
We all have three
eyes. Two are for looking out and one for
looking in. Why would we want to look in when
everything is happening 'out there'? Because the
treasure we seek is inside, not outside. What is
treasure? Beauty, truth, peace, happiness. You
already have what you seek. You already are
stunningly beautiful. You are already peaceful
and loving. How come you don't know this?
Simple, you never look inwards, beyond
superficial memories or recent experiences, so
you never see your own riches. Take a moment to
stop, look in and see. Don't rush. Don't search.
Just look. And be aware.
Humility-5
Where there is
humility, there is benefit to many. Just as the
tree
laden with fruit bows down, the one who is full
is the one who is
humble. Such a person can bring benefit to all
those around. Humility
makes us a giver in all situations, also making
it easy for others to
take what we have to offer. In all my
interactions with others, It is
more important to see what I can give them,
instead of just expecting
from them. Then, even when I have to follow
others' directions there
would be no difficulty. Humility helps me to bow
very easily.
The Five Spiritual
And Five Physical Elements (cont.)
There are three entities around which the whole
World Drama revolves - the Supreme Soul, the
human souls and nature. Nature includes
everything non-living like mountains, rivers,
seas etc. and living things like plants, trees
etc. It also includes living beings like
animals, birds, insects etc. which are souls
with a lesser evolved intellect than human ones.
The human body also comes under the category of
nature. These three entities are in the form
of a hierarchy, the Supreme Soul is the most
powerful at the top of the hierarchy, in the
middle are the human souls and at the bottom of
the hierarchy is nature. The Supreme Soul
always remains an Ocean of the five virtues
peace, purity, wisdom, love and joy and is
the only entity in which the balance of these
virtues is always maintained right through
eternity.
In human souls, as explained yesterday, in the
beginning of the world cycle, in the Golden Age,
these virtues are in balance. As human souls
come down in the birth-rebirth cycle and start
becoming influenced by body-consciousness or the
five vices - anger, ego, greed, attachment and
lust, all spiritual building blocks or virtues -
peace, purity, wisdom, love and joy start
getting depleted. In each soul, some virtues get
depleted more, some less. In each and every soul
the depletion is different depending on its
actions e.g. in some soul the depletion of peace
is immense compared to the other because of
picking up sanskaras of anger on its journey and
bringing them into actions or in some soul the
depletion of joy is immense because of picking
up a lot of attachment on the way etc. This
depletion of the five spiritual elements or
virtues upsets the balance between them. This
depletion and imbalance causes negative
spiritual energy waves or vibrations of sorrow,
anger, impurity, hatred, fear etc. from human
souls to spread in nature and starts having a
negative influence on the five physical elements
earth, air, water, fire and sky and even the
five spiritual elements peace, purity, wisdom,
love and joy in the souls of animals, birds,
insects, etc. upsetting the balance of both.
This is because nature (as defined in the above
paragraph) is lowest in the hierarchy, lesser
powerful and easily influenced by the energy
that human souls transmit or radiate. This
double imbalance of spiritual and physical
elements results in peacelessness, sorrow,
illness, poverty, natural calamities, accidents,
ecological imbalances etc. When all of these
reach their maximum extent, that Age is called
the Iron Age. This is an interesting principle
which needs to be understood clearly.
How do we restore the balance of the
spiritual and physical elements? We shall
explain that in tomorrow's message.
Soul Sustenance
Meditation
– Experiencing My Original Home (Part 2)
Along with reading over the following words
slowly and silently, make a sincere effort to
create images of them in the eye of your mind:
I focus myself on the self, the soul, a golden
point of light........
I stay between the eyebrows in the middle of the
forehead........
I radiate golden rays of peace, purity and love
in all directions........
In this awareness of I the soul, with the power
of my mind I can travel beyond the limits of my
physical organs........
I visualize myself gradually going out from this
physical body........
I, the sparkling star like energy, fly into the
night sky........
I see myself floating above thousands of
buildings and lights........
Slowly I rise higher and higher to enter
space........
I am surrounded by millions of stars and
planets........
Slowly I see myself flying beyond the world of
five elements........
I, the golden star, enter another world, a soft
golden-red light world........
A world of sweet silence and peace........
full of peaceful light stretching very very far
away........
I feel pure warmth here, surrounded by
light........
I the point of light shine in this sixth
element........
I am free of all tensions, extremely
light.........
This is where I belong,
This is my home........
I recognize this place........
I had forgotten it, but now I have rediscovered
it........
Spend a few minutes in this positive experience
and then gradually come downwards to take your
seat back in the physical body.
Message for the
day
The one who is
constantly flying with zeal and enthusiasm
brings progress in others too.
Expression:
Whenever problems come
my way, I tend to feel heavy with waste and
negative thoughts. At that time I am not able to
feel free and light. When there is heaviness in
my mind, I can't move forward with enthusiasm
and thereby find it difficult to contribute for
others' progress too.
Experience:
Whatever the circumstances I
am faced with, I need to make special effort not
to reduce my enthusiasm in any way. The more I
am able to be enthusiastic, the more I am able
to contribute to the progress of others too
along with my own progress.
