Experience the following thoughts one after the other: I sit in a relaxed position, letting all tensions dissolve... I relax my shoulders and neck and breathe deeply several times... Now I focus all my attention inside and observe what is happening in mind... I observe, and look carefully... I see myself in different situations; I can identify the things that affect me most, the

A *vision* is what you can see but not yet reach. The most powerful dimension of vision is not the long term dimension but actually the way you choose to see yourself in your work, circumstances, relationships, etc. Important changes start occurring by simply choosing to see things and people differently. That will have a huge influence on the decisions you make and the results. This is the

 Making the choice of peace is a simple choice, which lies in the hands of each one of us, at every moment right through the day, every day. A lot of people would choose a world, the world out there, made of peace but spend most of their time remaining peaceless in their own inner world, and then in their next door world, i.e. in their personal interactions. *A lot of us would prefer a

You feel depressed when you lack happiness and optimism about the possibilities that you have and a constantly negative consciousness and vision is produced. You lose hope. In depression you lack an interest in things. You are sensitive to criticisms, even if they are very little. You feel sadness, impatience, a lack of perspectives. You try to reach satisfaction through material means,

The first step in your journey towards experiencing your true state of inner peace is finding a place or space in your home where you will practice your meditation regularly, even if it's just an armchair. Always use this chair, this space when you can. In this space, place two or three objects, which represent peace to you. Soft music, soft red light and lighting an incense stick ('

In life many times we are presented with situations that *ask something of us* or *offer us opportunities*. They make us question what we are doing and suggest to us that perhaps we should change direction. To remain in flow with life is to remain bring about changes in the self that situations want from us, as long as it is in agreement with our conscience.  But for that, we should be

A balanced and fulfilling spiritual life is like a table.   It stands on four legs and if one leg is shorter than the others then both balance and equilibrium will be difficult.  The four legs or pillars of a spiritual life are given below in the form of four subjects. If any of the subjects is not a part of our lives or is a part of our life, but not to as great an extent as the

The human being is psychosomatic by nature - what that means is that our health is deeply influenced by our behavior, thoughts, emotions and social relationships. Therefore, in order to experience good health, we should care for our life style, our mental, sentimental, emotional and relational world, as well as our communication. Fear is bad for our health. It manifests itself in the form

Our five senses are windows, which open out to the world through which energy flows in two directions. The senses receive impressions and information from the world, and at the same time transmit our personalities to others. Our eyes receive a constant stream of visual messages, but we may also use the eyes to show how we feel. Through our ears we hear the sounds of life; while by "lending

Having understood that the source of our feelings are our thoughts, we realize that right through our journey in the physical world, in many births, *we have repeatedly built up enormous webs of negative and harmful thoughts and feelings, creating many unnecessary difficulties for us, internally as well as externally.* The habit continues in my present life too. *Meditation helps me to

*Continuing from yesterday's message: *The Zoroastrians worship God as fire (Indian Zoroastrians are called Parsis). The ancient Egyptians worshiped the sun as God. A Buddhist sect in Japan focuses the mind on a small oval shape. They call it Karni, the Peace-giver. The Jews have the Menorah (a candlestick or holder for many candles together) which when lit is a memory of the form of

Just as a candle flame emerges from a point source and assumes an oval form, mystics and saints throughout the passage of time have had visions of God as a point of self-luminous light with an oval aura. *Most religions have images, idols or memorials, having one name or the other to represent God as light or as an oval shape. *Throughout India there are statues of an oval-shaped image.

*There are some universally accepted characteristics of God:* * He is the creator and the one who sustains and takes care of the entire world population. * He is the Highest of Highest. * He is the Supreme Father. * He is non-physical. * He is omnipotent (one with unlimited power). * He is a living being. * He is all-loving and possesses complete knowledge. * He is unchangeable. * He

The longer I experience thoughts and feelings of a particular variety (explained yesterday), the greater is the soul's inclination to generate those feelings. This can reach the point where feelings take over, and I experience their impact even though they are no longer consciously connected them with my thoughts e.g. my office colleague has done something incorrect without taking my

The topmost area of the mind is the area of conscious thought. Thoughts arise in our awareness like bubbles. Many thoughts carry a feeling or a series of feelings along with them e.g. the thought at a restaurant - 'I love how that pizza looks', could be accompanied by feelings of hunger, or greed, or happiness, or yearning (longing) or anticipated satisfaction. The fact offered by

If one was asked to define contentment, how would one do the same? A very simple and easy to understand, definition of contentment, is: "At the present moment: ** wherever you are is wherever you are meant to be, * whatever you are doing is whatever you are meant to be doing and * whatever everyone else is doing is what they are meant to be doing." *To experience constant contentment,

One of the most significant areas of importance in any human's life is that of *relationships*. Someone with very good, close, harmonious and loveful relationships with loved ones, friends, colleagues, etc. is normally considered very fortunate or lucky. *But of all relationships, the first and most basic one is the one I have with myself.* So, how good, close or deep is my relationship

 *For many, society has conditioned us to look for success through the path of our career, achievements, profits, praise, financial wealth etc. That way, we have learned a narrow view of success. Running in search of this kind of success and pursuing it, we come to exhaust ourselves, get burnt out and depressed.* In order to achieve these successes we have stopped caring for the inner

You feel positive and joyful when you realize that you are successful. However, when failure comes to you, you feel defeated. The definition of success and failure varies from one person to another and according to the stage of life that you are in. *It is important to have success and failure well defined for yourself, because, based on your definition, you feel greater or lesser inner

Human laws can be adjusted, manipulated and even ignored by some, but no one can do the same with the Law of Action or Karma. On the physical level, there is no time interval between an action and its reaction. If I throw an object in the air, it falls back immediately with the same force. With the Law of Karma, however, there can be a delay between the action and its result or fruit. The

Self-respect depends on knowing who I am, knowing my eternal (ageless), spiritual self. When I have found that sense of spiritual identity, I feel I have a right to be here, to exist. Without the spiritual dimension, it is very difficult to really respect myself deeply. In this case, I base my respect on identifying with the superficial (artificial) aspects of my being: looks, gender,

In relationships with your loved ones, when looking at the other, sometimes positive emotions are generated and sometimes negative. On the one hand, joy, love and happiness is generated on being with them; but then attachment, dependency and expectations are generated. *In such situations, you are more focused on others and are always looking at the other person's behavior, you stop seeing

The connection in Raja Yoga meditation is not only with the original self but also with God. During meditation, the self is absorbed in spiritual peace. For this connection and absorption to take place, the thought cannot be distracted, otherwise a short circuit occurs and the energy flow from the Supreme to us stops because the thought has become disconnected from the socket. The human

A simple definition of spiritual vision is that I see the best in others. A parameter of proving to myself that I have a spiritual vision and I am seeing the best in others is that I naturally thank and praise rather than criticize those with whom I interact at home or at the workplace on a daily basis - even though I may see obvious negative characteristics in them and experience negative
