The biggest disease of the mind is over-thinking, especially too much thinking about others. Thinking too much is like eating too much. The heaviness makes it impossible to remain light and flexible.

Derive The Best From Everything !

To have trust in the power of peace is to be free from conflict. The one who has faith in the power of peace never reacts to situations. Instead he watches each situation with inner silence knowing and understanding that the situation will surely change. Such a person is able to search for a solution and a reason in every challenging and conflict-arousing situation. So there is the ability to be the best. When we understand that there surely is a solution for every problem, and the solution doesn't lie in loosing our inner peace, we are able to be in touch with our inner peace in all challenging situations. We will be free from creating conflicts in our mind and in our lives too. So we'll continue to experience the best from everything.

Create Harmony In Relationships !

To listen well is to bring harmony in relationships. The one who takes time to listen and understand others is able to relate to them well. He is not concerned with what is visible but is more concerned with what he sees within. He is able to recognize others' needs and provide an environment for others' healthy growth. Differences in thinking don't matter as they are used to provide an environment for growth. When we are open to the world of others, we are able to create harmony in relationships. Never do we expect people to be like us, but we have respect for what they are. We don't expect anything from others, but we use our own inner space for providing a conducive outer space.

Develop Genuine Feeling Of Love !

There is victory for the person who opposes the weaknesses instead of the person. Instead of trying to win over a person who displays any negative qualities, one needs to oppose the negativity itself. The one who knows the art of doing this will never do anything to encourage the weakness in the other person but will provide all help to finish it fully. Since we are able to look at the weakness only and are trying to find it, we will be free from negative feelings of dislike and hatred. There would be a genuine feeling of love which in turn provides the right environment for the other person's growth.

Understand The Uniqueness Of Each Individual !

To recognise one's own uniqueness is to respect oneself. To have respect for oneself based on other people's opinion or situational achievements is to have respect temporarily. True respect for the self is based on the recognition of the fact that every individual is unique with its own set of unique capabilities. This understanding enables one to see his own uniqueness without being influenced or without company with others. When we know to recognise and appreciate our own uniqueness and respect ourselves on this basis, we are able to be free from ego and inferiority complex. We are also able to recognise naturally the uniqueness of the other person and respect him for it. Thus winning the love and respect of others too.

Possess Loving Thoughts !

The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn't want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect. By starting each day in quiet reflection and pouring positive, loving thoughts into my mind, I gradually clean out cynicism and unkindness

Great Intelligent Sentences !

We all have a relationship with everything. Obviously the relationship we have with the people and objects in our immediate vicinity is more intimate than the rest of the world. For most of us the most common relationship is possession. In our minds we think we own and possess things like cars and houses and carpets and golf clubs etc. This thinking easily spreads into jobs and tasks and positions and perhaps even other people. "I want you", and "You are mine alone", is the essence of many romantic film scripts and song lyrics. What we forget is that this relationship is wrong. It is not possible to possess anything. Care for..yes. Use...yes. But possess...no. You can't take it with you when you go, so we say! And yet it's the idea of possession which lies at the heart of all fear, war and conflict. Can you see it? Fear of loss, fear of not acquiring what we have already decided is ours in our minds. So what is a better relationship we can choose which takes all the fear away. Be a trustee. Everything comes to us in trust, for us to use and then to set it free. The consciousness of trustee sets us free of the tension of grasping and guarding. To see ourselves as trustees of everything that we receive, including our bodies, encourages our innate capacity to 'care for with dignity'. It is a much more relaxing way of relating to the things which we are privileged to receive in life.

Make Optimum Use Of Your Resources !

Fortune is in one's own hands. To have fortune in one's own hands doesn't mean to have it in the lines of one's hands. It means to have the ability to make the best use of all the resources available. When they are put to the best use, they naturally increase. Through actions one can draw the line of fortune as long as desired. When we are able to create an elevated fortune for ourselves, we are able to become an inspiration for others too to create an elevated fortune for themselves.

An Inspiring Message !

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever I do, when all is said and done, I do for or to myself. Perhaps I should think before I perform actions because after the seed of action is sown I have to reap the fruit. Moreover, I do not receive only one fruit for every seed sown, I often get a whole crop, good or bad according to the action or seed.

Serve Others ! Experience Real Richness And Beauty Of Life !

The one who serves others is the richest. To be in a position to serve others means to be aware of the resources and treasures within. When all the powers that are within are used for the benefit of the self and others they tend to multiply and increase. So the one who continues to serve others continues to become richer. When we serve, not only do we become richer with what we use, but for having served unselfishly we also become richer with the blessings and good wishes that emerge from the hearts of others. We are able to experience the real richness and beauty of life as there is a lot of love, happiness and joy in our lives.

Develop Faith In Others And Help Them !

If there is a need to take responsibility for something, then of course, you should. However, if a situation is not your business, or someone else is in charge, then don't get caught up in it. If you want to help, you can still involve yourself in a more subtle way through faith. Faith in others does a lot of work. It doesn't mean blind faith - observing helplessly while keeping your fingers crossed - it means to remain alert to what's going on, and then to fill another with the strength of your faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. This means having faith, but also donating the power of your faith. If the other person is honest and truthful, your faith will work for them. In this way, we can learn to truly help each other.

Be Content ! Be Satisfied !

Next time you are waiting for anything, notice what you are wanting! This will be a source of your tension or impatience. All desire has fear built in - fear of not getting or losing, even before your desire is fulfilled. If you want to be free of fear in life, which is another way of saying if you want to be free of stress, the secret is to want nothing, and then magic happens, for lo and behold, all that you need and more, arrives in your life, at the right time, in the right way. Not what they told us in kindergarten was it?

Improve Yourselves And Benefit Others With Your Virtues !

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with your specialities and virtues. When we are generous we will become cooperative and enable others to become virtuous through our virtues and fill others with our specialities. The more we use our specialities in this way, the more we will find them increasing. Let us think of something that is very special in us. Today let us take the thought of using this speciality of ours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, we will find ourselves improving too.

We can do this when we are able to connect to the divinity within. This will make us experience power.

Correct Others Effectively With Sweetness !

Correction with sweetness is more effective than words spoken with anger. We need to be sweet while we have to correct or point out someone's mistake. When we do that, what goes across to them is the feeling and not the words. If there were to be anger or dislike while correcting them, the response we get would be negative too. When we do have to correct someone, it is necessary to remind ourselves to be sweet, not just in our words, but in our attitude as well. For this we need to practice having good wishes for the one we want to bring a change in. Love combined with sweetness will surely work, and we'll definitely be able to notice a change.

Optimism Changes Things In The Right Way !

The ones with real sweetness are always optimistic. Having understood the secret behind each and everything that is happening, sweetness comes in our lives. Then we automatically find ourselves becoming optimistic. Even under the most difficult situation, we would never let go off our optimism. If we ever find ourselves disheartened or discouraged, we should remind ourselves of our own inner sweetness. We know and understand that things will ultimately happen in the right way, we only have to wait and watch. We have the faith that things will surely change.

Importance Of Spiritual Identity !

Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity.
