Uzbekistan marked the 1st International Day of
Yoga on 21st June with great enthusiasm at the
Bunyodkor Football Stadium in Tashkent.
A Quiet Mind
When the mind is
quiet, its whole angle of vision changes. From
pouncing on the problems, it begins to perceive
the chances, the good things in life.
A personality of
royalty lies in being constantly cheerful.
When we see someone
with positive qualities, even during negative
situations, we really admire their positivity.
It could be patience, wisdom or any other
positive quality that comes across. But much
more than that, it is the happiness or
contentment that is visible in the form of a
cheerful face. This is the true personality of
royalty, that we too need to make an attempt to
imbibe. Today I will smile at whatever happens.
Even if something goes wrong, I will find
something to learn from it or something positive
and be happy for it. Even if I can't find it
right away, I'll at least take the thought that
this has happened for a reason, because I know
whatever happens, happens for the best.
Tapping Guidance
From The Supreme Intellect
There are many occasions in my day-to-day life
when I am not sure as to what my next course of
action should be in that particular situation.
The intellect is the faculty inside the soul
which normally takes all decisions for the soul.
But sometimes the intellect is clouded by my own
or others' sanskaras, beliefs, opinions,
inclinations, assumptions, thoughts, actions,
past experiences, etc.
In such a situation, I require the guidance
of an entity who:
* is above the whole situation and is seeing
it as a spectator or observer and is not a
player in the situation,
* is the knower of the three aspects of time
(the past, present and the future),
* can see the situation from all dimensions or
perspectives,
* is beyond all influences and is impartial,
* is extremely pure and clear,
* knows me more than I know myself,
* knows my benefit and harm more than I know it
myself,
* someone who is selfless and is concerned for
my well being the most, etc.
No human entity can fulfill all these
requirements.

Soul Sustenance
Bringing Your
Dreams Alive
Each one of us has dreams that we nourish right
through our lives. Some are short-term dreams
and some long term ones. Dreams keep changing as
we progress through different phases of our
life. Some are achieved, some are not. Some of
us possess the ability to realize our dreams
more than the rest. The most important and
influential factor in this process is how much
we believe in our dream and believe that it will
be realized. Some of the factors that hamper
this belief are:
* The influence of the past - the
memories of our past failures, which sow
seeds of doubt in our mind; as well as
successes, which keep us in an illusionary
consciousness and distance us from the present
moment and our present actions. Also, sometimes
we associate present temporary failures or ups
and downs which may come in our way, with
failures of the past.
* Lack of inner strength or power, when
faced with obstacles in your path. Tendency
to get dejected very easily and creating
weak thoughts like we do not deserve it or we
are not capable of it or are we not lucky enough
or it is not in our destiny or maybe it is our
negative past actions which are influencing our
dream realization process adversely, etc.
* The opinions or comments of people
surrounding you who sometimes, are not in tune
with your consciousness and are not able to
empathize with your purpose. Their comments
easily de-focus you from your purpose.
* Lack of ability to mould or adjust
during the dream realization journey. Any
journey is always full of twists, turns and
sudden changes. A rigid state of mind, which is
not able to change its tactics as required, may
make the path seem more difficult than it
actually is.
* It is very good to dream but excessive
attachment to the dream also may make the
journey towards the dream stressful and bring
down your self-belief at times.
Message for the
day
To finish a
weakness is to finish the last trace of it.
Projection:
When I work to overcome any
of my weaknesses, I feel that I have got rid of
it. In spite of that, I find that I have got rid
of my weakness only for sometime. In some
situations, these weaknesses begin to emerge
again and again.
Solution:
When I work on a weakness I
need to understand why that particular weakness
is working within me. When I recognise the root
cause of the weakness working within me, I can
overcome it very easily. I then find that the
weakness will not emerge again.
