Bright Hope
When things look bleak, bring back hope. How?
Find a bright spot and shift from bleak to
bright.
When you feel brighter, you feel hopeful.
Have hope. Hope for a brighter future.
Hope doesn't sit around 'hoping for the best'.
Hope allows you to be clear eyed, so that you
can recognize opportunities,
and take action - because your future begins
with what you do today.
The Power of Silence
It is when we silence the chattering of our mind
that we can truly hear what is in our heart and
find the still, clear purity that lies within
the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the
silence of our original state of being. This
silence contains the power to create harmony in
all relationships and the sweetness to sustain
them. And it is when we are silent that we can
let God into our heart and mind, filling us with
peace, love and power.
The Method Of Realizing Your Purpose
Throughout our daily routine right from the time
we wake up till we go to sleep at night, we all
always have something to think about, to say
and/or something to do. We are occupied and are
busy. The question is whether everything that we
do forms part of our life purpose or whether we
are simply occupying time spaces and using our
mental, verbal and physical energy in
activities, tasks and conversations that do not
lead us to anything substantial or whole. We
simply pass time doing and talking, but without
a sense of purpose. Although the things we do
and/or speak about are necessary to be done, if
they do not make up part of our life purpose,
they will tire us. We will feel an inner
emptiness and dissatisfaction, as if we are
missing something.
The most authentic purpose is that of fulfilling
our ideal, our dream in life. What happens is
that, sometimes, we haven't worked out what our
true purpose or life dream is. We have to ask
ourselves what our true purpose is. There are
two purposes - one is a purpose related to the
self and the other related to what we want to
offer to the world. During the day we are
exchanging energy - each one of us is different
and can give something to the world during this
exchange; each of us can play our musical note
in order to contribute to the orchestra of the
Universe.
Soul Sustenance
Important Understandings on Reincarnation (Part
2)
5. Each time a soul leaves an old body and takes
a new birth, it carries its sanskars from the
old birth into the new one. Other sanskars that
can be present in the new body (apart from
the ones from the previous birth) are:
• sanskars from parents
• sanskars accumulated during the new birth
e.g. from siblings (brothers or sisters) or from
friends, also those picked up during education
and more
• sanskars of will power (the ability to
bring about changes in the self using will
power)
• original sanskars of peace, love,
purity, bliss, joy and power (the ones that were
present in the soul when it first came down from
the soul world into the physical world to play
its part)
Out of these five types of sanskars, in each
soul, the sanskars that are visible at different
stages of life are varied e.g. in some soul,
sanskars may be completely different from the
ones the parents possess, because the sanskars
from the previous birth are more visible; in
another soul, sanskars of will power may be
intense, the soul may have brought about a lot
of transformation in its personality since the
time it was born; in a third soul sanskars from
parents and friends may be most visible; in
another soul, practicing meditation, original
sanskars may be more visible, etc.

Message for the day
Good actions form a good character.
Expression:
When there is any wrong action performed, there
is a lot of guilt and remorse. Such negative
feelings persist, colouring negatively all
future actions also. So the regret doesn't help
in changing anything at all or improving the
situation in any way. Instead it further
deteriorates the situation. On the other hand,
positive actions consciously performed forms a
good character.
Experience:
AAt a time when I do something wrong, if I
intentionally and consciously perform a good
action, it becomes a base for the old feeling of
guilt and remorse to be gone. It is like an
audiocassette. When something new and nice is
recorded, the old unwanted recording vanishes.
So when I record in this way, I will be easily
able to do away with my old unwanted habits.
