Keep Yourself Centered In Your Spirituality !

Your need power to remain free from the influence of others. Detachment is this power. If you can't stay detached from influences, you will not be able to keep your thoughts under control. From there it will be a downward spiral until all trace of inner well-being is lost. The first step in detachment is to understand who you are as a spiritual entity. This allows you to 'detach' yourself from your physical identity, and it's world of limited thoughts and feelings, and 'attach' instead to your spiritual personality, the being of inner peace and power. A normal day will be filled with challenges to this detachment. On the one side will be your spiritual awareness, but on the other will be the attraction towards human beings and the material world. Detachment is not a question of becoming separate from the later, but of simply remaining conscious of yourself as a spiritual being whilst being in the world and playing your part. Detachment simply means to keep yourself centered in your spirituality.

Our Problems Have The Potential To Make Us Unshakeable !

If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self pity, these adverse situations that look like they could bury us have within them the very real potential to make us unshakeable.

Be Ever Ready To Do All Tasks And Attain Success !

To be ever ready means to guarantee success. The ones who are ever ready are active and so when a task comes up, they quickly understand it and attain success. They do not waste time and energy thinking too much about it. They recognize the importance of the task and involve fully in it and attain success. When we are ever ready we are able to be easy. All tasks seem easy for us and effort put in for the success of the task also becomes easy. So we don't have to do a lot of effort but give our best. Thus we experience success every moment in all situations.

Create A Strong Influence On Others By Your Own Personality !

To recognise the uniqueness of my own personality is to be free from negative influence. The one who is aware of one's own uniqueness is able to create a strong influence on others of his own personality. So, such a person is not negatively influenced by anyone's personality traits. Even when there is a person with a very strong personality, he is still able to be free from negative influence. When we are able to recognise and use the specialities that are within us, we are able to remain powerful within. In all circumstances and with all people we experience this innate power. Because we are constantly in touch with our own specialities, we are able to be light and happy.

Importance Of Self-Knowledge, Self-Realisation And Yoga !

Desires will never end but our sense organs will be worn out. The state of Bliss cannot be experienced by a wandering mind seeking sensuous pleasures. It can be achieved by self-knowledge, self- realisation and yoga with the Supreme.

Take Care Of Your Body As Well As Your Mind !

The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attention to fulfill this responsibility. Making the effort underlines our value and importance as a human being. However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.

Honesty Is More Than What You Think !

Honesty does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become pure and clean. Honesty is where there are no other thoughts or feelings inside, other than those that God himself would have. Such clarity is reflected in your words; they will be filled with the power of truth, and spoken with ease and without hesitation. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will reach out and touch others.

Spread Your Love !!!

If I limit the love I give to just one or two, it will eventually go stale. If I learn to create love inside my heart and silently give it to everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.

Be In Constant Touch With Oneself And One’s True Nature !

Introversion brings out the positivity within. Every human being has an innate positive nature because of the inherent qualities of love, peace, happiness etc. that are within. Introversion, the practice of looking within, enables one to be in constant touch with oneself and one's true nature. It helps express these qualities in everything that is done. Because of having practiced for a long time with them, these qualities emerge very naturally at the time of need. The practice of being introverted helps us in experiencing those qualities within ourselves, which otherwise remain hidden during difficult situations. Thus it makes us have true self-respect and enables us to finish our ego. It also gives us the power to recognise and accept our mistakes, thus giving the courage to work on them successfully.

Take Good Wishes By Helping Others !

The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all.

Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. When we are able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, We are able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. We then find that others naturally appreciate our selfless contribution and their good wishes help us feel light and experience progress.

Life Is A Creative Adventure ! Live It With Great Care !

Amazing as it may seem, every event, every scene has some significance.Nothing is without meaning. Life is like a book – each day a new page, each interaction a new paragraph. We read books to learn, so we may grow and become more complete and more effectiv e as we play this game called life. Can you read the book of your life, can you study the scenes of your day, in such a way that you may learn and grow? To get started, take time out to reflect, review and realize something new at least once a day - more often if you can. What was really going on there? What was I feeling at the time? Why? If you do this retrospective processing, eventually you will be able to read each scene with great clarity as it happens. That's when the reader becomes the writer, and life becomes truly a creative adventure, where we are able to see and appreciate the significance and meaning within every scene, and know exactly how to respond.

Sit Quietly And Check Your Own Mind !

Is there some time for yourself today - just for you, to sit quietly and refresh and renew. Not escaping into the TV, or thrashing around a squash court. Just time to sit quietly, focus your thoughts, check your priorities, make sure there is nothing negative pushing you down in your own mind. Take some time and be ...with yourself. If you don't, you may miss meeting the most important person in your life.

Let Off Your Ego !

Whatever is in your heart that is not clean, not true, will ultimately begin to act like a wall, obstructing the natural flow of love. People who say that there is no love in their life, are being blocked by this wall. Actually there is love, but they just cant accept it. Ego is the clearest example of this. Ego limits the flow of love by placing conditions on the love you give and receive. Ego uses love to satisfy its own needs and desires. It produces a love which is deceptive, one which brings only temporary satisfaction. Ego does not allow you to experience true love or share it. If fact, ego is capable of destroying your ability to feel love altogether.

Be Free Of Sadness Very Quickly !

Am I happy? If there is any sadness I make a strong effort to be free of it quickly, otherwise it grows like a vine in the rainy season: by midday I will be confused; by evening a whole jungle of weak, wasteful and negative attitudes will have taken deep roots in my mind. The result equals chaos. Sometimes I reach a stage where the attitude is: "So what if I feel the blues today? It is my life; no one else will be affected". Firstly, the more I allow myself to experience sorrow, the less time I have available to be happy and contented. It sounds ridiculously obvious, but am I aware of the value of happiness? It is an extremely rare commodity, and the cost goes sky high. Secondly, is it my life? Yes, I am living it, but am I not a member of a family or a co-worker with others, and am I not part of society? If so, then every movement affects and is affected by those around me.

Greatness Is Visible In The One Who Is Humble !

Greatness lies in humility. The one who is humble is always willing to learn - from others and situations. So whatever happens a humble person never reacts to the situations, but acts positively whilst being in a stage of self-respect. So there is greatness visible in the one who is humble. Humility brings an experience of being full and complete. So naturally we are available for service, and have always the thought of bringing benefit to as many as possible. Humility also gives an experience of being a master, because no situation or person binds us, but we are able to experience freedom.

See Benefits In Everything !

Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way. If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more. Make today a breeze not a battle.

Be Aware Of Your Specialties And Work With Them !

To be a self-sovereign is to be in control. The one who is a self- sovereign never finds difficulty in being in control. He doesn't have to go out of control and then bring himself back in control. The moment the order is given to the self, every thought, word and action is immediately in order. To be a self-sovereign means to be aware of our specialities and work with them. When we are a self-sovereign we experience ourselves to be free. This is because nothing binds us but we are able to win over our weaknesses too. Thus we find ourselves to be in total happiness in all situations.

Create Quality Thoughts !

Creating quality thoughts brings happiness and lightness. When there is quality thinking, thoughts are not many, but each thought is special. Quality thoughts are reflected in quality words and quality actions. They reduce tiredness and carelessness as thoughts are fewer in quantity. When we have good quality thoughts, we experience sweetness, happiness and self-respect. We are able to recognise our own greatness and move forward with lightness under all circumstances.

Experience The Benefit Of Each And Every Moment !

To be free from the influence of the past is to have the ability to fly forward. There are so many things of the past that keep coming up in the mind again and again. Instead of being like birds holding on to the branches of the past; the one who looks at the clear sky gets the inspiration to move forward. To look at the clear sky means to look at the present moment and make the best use of it. The ability to free ourselves from the negative influences of the past, enables us to have a vision of equality. We will then not be judging others on what our past experiences with them are. We also find ourselves experiencing the benefit of each and every moment and experience constant progress.

Extend Your Love To Everyone !

True love brings success in relationships. The one who is loving, likes to be with the others. Such a person will never try to be away even from people who are not loving towards him, but will be able to change the one who is not so loving with his own love. So the one who is loving is always successful in relationships.
