Thought for Today

Ask yourself the question: "What would make my office or home a more peaceful place?"

There are many ways in which you can make your office/home a peaceful place, through your own behaviour and the way in which you organize your workplace (office) or home. By functioning from an inner peaceful state and being a peaceful listener, you are able to create meaningful and peaceful interactions with whom you work and stay.

As well as creating a peaceful state within, it is important to bring a sense of peace into your surroundings. You can make positive changes in the outer environment, which might promote and reflect inner peace. You can choose plants, pictures, colours, sounds and furnishings (furniture), which contribute to a sense of calm, peace and well being. You can also do this by clearing noise and finding ways of creating a sense of openness or space in your office or home.

Benefits Of Rajyoga Meditation (cont.)

We had explained some of the benefits of Rajyoga Meditation yesterday. Some more are:

Dissolves Dissatisfactions:
Human beings can be compared to a pressure cooker. When the pressure in the pressure cooker increases the safety valve starts operating. Hence the extra pressure is reduced. Due to various dissatisfactions and conflicts our mental pressure also increases. Human beings don't have any safety valve hence many physical diseases develop due to the mental pressure. A particular person will suffer from a disease which depends on the weakness of a particular organ in his body. During Rajyoga meditation practice one receives the love of all relations from the Supreme Father or Supreme Soul, hence suppressed dissatisfactions are removed. This is possible because Rajyoga is not based on any physical practice but it is the technique of spiritually tuning one's mind and intellect towards the loveful and peaceful remembrance of the Supreme.

Transforms Attitudes:
Transformation of attitudes which is vital for stress management is not possible by most physical yoga techniques, which focus more on the body. Uniqueness of Rajyoga meditation is that it immensely contributes to the transformation of attitudes. Deep understanding of the 'Self', 'Supreme Soul', 'Laws Of Karma' etc., are very much necessary for attitudinal change. Research studies have suggested that positive attitudes can help overcome even dangerous diseases like cancer.

Message for the day

The one who is the master is the one who creates positive thoughts under all circumstances.

Projection:
The one who is the master of himself is always able to create the right kind of thoughts according to the circumstance. Never is there the dependency on situations or people for the right kind of responses. Since there is mastery over thoughts, there is also mastery over all words spoken and everything done.

Solution:
When I am able to be a master of myself, I am able to constantly create positive thoughts. I am in touch with the inner resources and I am able to make use of these resources in a timely way. I never get confused or pressurized with outside situations, but am able to be in control in all situations.
