Great Souls
Great souls take advantage of every moment and
every opportunity to give happiness to others
through kindness in their thoughts; such souls
are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes
and have the desire to help everyone reach their
potential.
True Contentment
Many times I find that my words, actions or
behaviour tend to upset
others in spite of my not wanting to hurt them.
I seem to be very happy
with the situation, but others don't seem to be.
At that time I am not
really able to understand the reason for this
and I consider theothers to be unreasonable. I need to check
myself when others are
getting upset with me. I need to make effort to
check and change
myself constantly so that I am able to move
along with the demands of
time. This is what will bring about true
contentment - such
contentment that neither will I be upset nor
will I upset others.
Experiencing Perfection And Success In Role
Playing
Spirituality gives me the detached realization
of being pure consciousness. This realization
not only detaches me from my physical body, but
also detaches me from the different roles I play
through my physical body (male or female) and
the different acts or scenes in each role, in
one particular day or one particular lifetime.
The roles may be many, the acts and the scenes
may be many, but I am the actor playing the
different roles and participating in the
different acts.
There is great strength in experiencing
myself as an actor as compared to the previous
existence in which I used to lose myself and
forget my spiritual identity completely while
playing the different roles, identifying more
with the roles and thinking myself to be the
role instead of being a spiritual actor. An
actor, even while in the midst of the most
dramatic scenes, even whilst getting excited or
emotional or angry, knows he is not the part
itself, the part is just temporary. He knows he
is something more than that, and that when the
play is over, the role will not exist anymore.
So, even though I play my role, I don't cut
off myself from the role and don't leave my
responsibilities, I need to adopt the observer
or spectator or detached consciousness instead
of the player consciousness. A player tends to
get over-involved. So, the balance has to be
maintained - I play as well as remain detached.
Only then the roles will be played to complete
perfection and I will experience success in each
role.

Message
for the day
To forgive is to give correction.
Expression:
When there is forgiveness,
the harm of the mistake is forgotten. The
mistake itself is remembered only to the extent
that the correction is to be given. So there are
no negative feelings expressed even while giving
correction. And the words that are used are few
but prove to be very effective.
Experience:
When I learn the art of
forgiving I am able to be free from the burden
of negative and waste thinking. So there is
never any difficulty in giving correction when
necessary. The mind is free from the attitudes
of the past and it creates harmony in
relationships even if the opinions or
personalities don't match.
