Ocean of
Peace and Silence
It is
said that rest is best. Imagine an ocean of peace and silence and plunge into
it. Let your mind relax and enjoy moments of tranquility. Free yourself from wasteful
thoughts. This is the best type of rest.
Going
Back To My Original Nature
Our present personalities
are basically the combined habits of this lifetime (birth), built on the
combined habits of previous lifetimes (births), all of which have left their mark
(sometimes deep and sometimes not so deep) on you consciousness. It may well be
that habits such as becoming angry, upset, anxious, stressed sorrowful or
scared, have been with us for so long that, they feel a natural part of our
inner world, so natural that when someone says our true nature is not anger but
peace, not fear but love, not aggression but acceptance, not anxiety but calm,
it does not feel right, And even if it did feel right for a moment, we have
become so attached to our old habitual moods, emotion and behaviors that we do
not really want to change. It may even be the case that we have become so weak
that we need help to change. It seems much easier to stay the way we are.
As we begin to mediate
and develop our spiritual practice, our views on the above subject will
fluctuate. When that does happen, imagine you are having a conversation with
yourself and teaching yourself. Give yourself permission to be peaceful by
nature, full of love and joy by nature, naturally content by nature, wherever
you are and in whatever you do. After a while, you won’t need to give yourself permission
and you will find these states of being are there within you quite naturally at
every moment. They are our original and eternal nature. Everything else is
acquired or learned. In so many ways introduction to spirituality, like many other
approaches to inner awakening is as much about unlearning (the acquired beliefs)
as it is about Learning (New beliefs).
Get it?
Some
people really “get” you & some just don’t! And that’s fine, you might not “get”
them either!
But do
take this opportunity to see if there’s something you can improve in yourself.
Try to be
friendly & get along better with them but, if they don’t reciprocate, then
know when to stop trying too hard.
If they
want to know you or befriend you, they’ll make that choice.
But
between now& then, enjoy being you & keep the warmth of your good
feelings flowing towards the other person.
Massage
for the day
To end waste means to be free from defeat.
Thought to Ponder: -
The one with faith in the intellect always remains at a distance form waste,
whether it is waste thought waste words or waste action. To move away from
waste means to be victorious. The one who is free from waste is busy with the
positive and useful. Such a person is constantly searching for solution and
trying to make the best out of the situation.
Point to practice: -
It is because of waste that I sometimes experience defeat and sometimes victory.
If I am able to finish waste, I am able to finish defeat because whatever the
situation may be, however challenging it may be. If I am able to finish waste I
am able to recognize the benefit that is merged within it and so I am able to
experience being constantly victorious.
