Original Qualities
To be controlled by anger is to repress the
soul's original qualities of tolerance and love.
Intuition
Only when we find the quietness in our own minds
can we begin to hear
our inner teacher, so that we may receive some
in-tuition. Only when
we are ready to recognize and value the wisdom
that we carry at the
core of our being will we turn our attention
inwards and 'listen in'.
But it's been a long time since we truly
listened, so a little
practice and patience will be needed. Sit down,
be quiet and listen in
at some point today and you might be surprised
at what you hear. Then
do it again tomorrow. All you need to do is
remember that you are the
listener and not the noise.
Realizing The Law of Cause and Effect
To imagine how the law of karma works,
consider what happens when we throw a stone into
a lake: it causes ripples that spread out
towards the shoreline, before returning to the
center point.
Human beings constantly emit energy. We create
thoughts, emotions and feelings that transmit
vibrations. There are people who tend to radiate
energy and others who tend to absorb it. The
energy we give off hits other people and
rebounds back to us. From this law we should
understand that if people send us energy that is
not very pleasant, perhaps it is because on
another occasion we sent out this type of
energy, although it may have taken a long time
to come back to us.
If we make an effort to give off positive
energy, with love and respect for others, this
energy will also come back to us. Positive
energy creates a higher vibration than negative
energy. Radiating positive energy produces an
aura around us that protects us from negativity
or from feeling hurt or humiliated. Our ego,
which causes the radiation of negative energy,
makes us susceptible to criticism, lack of
respect and slander. If our ego does not take
over, the negativity will not touch our inner
selves.
Tomorrow we shall explain the benefits of
realizing this law.

Internal And External Attachments - Part 1
Attachment can be on two levels - either
internal or external.
Some common examples of external attachments are
attachments to:
* people,
* objects,
* your physical body,
* your position or role in your family, society
or in your professional field,
* money,
* places,
* physical comfort/comforts,
* the way you look or dress up or carry yourself
or your physical personality in general,
* a particular skill/skills,
* a particular interest or hobby like watching
movies, online social networking, etc.
* your routine or a certain way of working at
home or at the workplace,
* respect from others,
* how people see you or behave with you or what
they think of you, etc.

Message for the day
True honesty brings clarity about the self.
Expression:
Honesty doesn't mean just
speaking the truth. Honesty means being clear
with oneself. Then it naturally brings clarity
about one's own capabilities. This clear
understanding enables one to do the best
according to the capacity. It gives the
recognition of a higher step that can be climbed
and brings the humility to learn from the
different lessons of life.
Experience:
When I am honest I am able to
know my own limitations and accept them with
love. This acceptance keeps me busy with what I
can do and also silently makes me ready for the
next step. When time comes, I am able to do it,
because I have already prepared myself for it. I
don't stop when situations demand more from me
because there is total clarity within.
