Message for the day 30-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who serves with the balance of the head and the heart is the one who is successful.
Projection: We usually give directions to people when they go wrong. We also use a lot of logic when we give such directions, but it doesn't always have the desired effect. We then begin to consider the other person to be wrong.
Solution: What we need to do is to have a balance of both the head and the heart while giving our suggestions to others. That means we need to have a lot of love while giving our suggestions to them. Then whatever we say will have its effect on them.

Understanding What Is Aura

The mind is the thinking energy of the soul (negative or positive). It is the mental energy, which makes the aura (subtle body) of a person. The soul, situated in the brain, radiates its mental energy to all the brain centers e.g.: hypothalamus (thinking centre), limbic system (centre of emotions and attitudes), frontal cortex (memory centre), respiratory centre, speech centre, visual centre etc., in maximum concentration as these centres are located near the soul. In fact the soul radiates the mental energy to each cell of the physical body. Many scientists world over are now of the opinion that mind is not only located in the brain but each cell of the body has a mind that means the mind/mental energy has the same shape as the physical body, which is nothing but the aura.

Now the aura of a person can be photographed by Kirlian photography. If a person most of the time thinks negative, the aura around him has various shades of white light e.g.: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red or can be black if there is no flow of mental energy. If a person thinks positive most of the time then aura around him is made up of silvery white light. Such a person is liked by all and radiates all the innate qualities of the soul e.g.: purity, peace, love, bliss, power around him. Other people coming in contact with him can feel the soothing effect of these qualities. Good meditators normally have clear white auras.

Kirlian photography has been proving useful in diagnosis of disease in a particular part of body and organ system before the disease becomes clinically visible in the form of signs and symptoms.

The ones with pure thoughts experience safety in all situations.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 29-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ones with pure thoughts experience safety in all situations.
Projection: When there are negative situations, we usually get negative thoughts very easily. Such negative thoughts take us further into negativity. We get caught in this circle of negativity and we then can't make our thoughts positive.

Solution: We need to take care that we don't blame anyone when we are going through any negative situation. We need to maintain whatever positivity we can in the situation, and we will find our mind changing towards positive too. It is this positivity that acts as a means of safety for us.

Message for the day 28-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who sacrifices name and fame is the one who gets recognition.
Projection: When we make a positive contribution we usually want to get recognition for it. We might not always say it in words but there is always an expectation that others should recognize our contribution.

Solution: We need to make sure that we enjoy whatever we do. Since the task
itself becomes enjoyable for us, we don't anymore expect recognition. The more we become free from expectations we get the love from others and recognition too.

Effect Of Food On The Mind


When we change our world changes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 27-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we change our world changes.
Projection:We usually wait for the world to change, sometimes the world at large and sometimes our own little world. Since it is not in our hands we don't find it changing according to what we want and we give up trying. We rarely think of changing ourselves which is possible.

Solution: When we change, our thoughts and attitude change too. We are then able to look at the people and our world around us with a different vision. Thus we find that our world changes, not so much in the situation as much as in our own perception.

When we have the switch of awareness on

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day    26-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we have the switch of awareness on, our mood will
never go off.

Projection:-
When something goes wrong we find that our mood goes off
immediately. We then lose all enthusiasm and all our thoughts
become negative. To change negative thoughts to positive then
becomes difficult.

Solution:-
Like one single switch brings light into a dark room, our own
switch of awareness will bring positivity in our mind. We can take
a thought like 'I am the master of my own life' or 'nothing can go
wrong today' right in the morning. When we have this awareness
on, we will never have our mood off.

------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day    25-06-2010
---------------------------------------------
The way to get blessings is to be open to learning.

Projection:-
We do get both negative and positive situations in our life. When
we are faced with negative situations we usually expect blessings
from God or someone great by which the negativity in our life will
fully finish. But it doesn't usually happen so.

Solution:-
The method to receive blessings is to go on learning from the
experiences of life. To learn means never to repeat mistakes by
learning from whatever has happened. This learning acts as a lift
for us, which takes us forward.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 23-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even the most difficult task is made easy with the cooperation of all.

Projection:
When given a responsibility we usually think of doing it alone. We
usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. We do this in
order to avoid the different kinds of personalities that we have to
deal with.

Solution:
When involved in a big task, we need to see to it that we involve
many. When we involve many and make sure we make use of their
specialities even the most difficult task will be made easy.
Secondly, the good wishes of all involved will be for the task
which will add to its success

True contentment brings contentment to others as much as to the self.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 22-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
True contentment brings contentment to others as much as to the self.

Projection:
When we have to do something, we usually do it the way we like. We
don't bother about others and only see if we are happy about it. So
we find that others are not content with us although we are happy
with what we are doing.

Solution:
Our actions need to be such that they do not cause sorrow to anyone
so we need to check our actions and change them. When we do
something in the right way others will be content with us as much
as we are.

The one who is accurate in every thought

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 21-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who is accurate in every thought, word and deed is the one who becomes praise-worthy.

Projection:-
We do take care most of the times to see that our words and actions
are not negative, but sometimes we are not as attentive with our
thoughts. When there are waste thoughts we are not able to make
even our words and actions right.

Solution:-
Instead of making great efforts to change our actions and our
words, we need to pay special attention to our thoughts. When our
thoughts are right filled with good wishes for others as well as
for the self, we find that they become accurate. And with this
comes accuracy in our thoughts

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 19-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Success means to have positive thoughts which bring right actions in our life.

Projection:
When things go wrong we usually find ourselves flooded with negative thoughts. We, no longer can think right and so our actions go wrong, too. We try to correct our actions but we cannot succeed in it and so we give up.

Solution:
We need to change the way we think before we can think of changing our actions. Success comes in the ability to maintain positive thoughts even in the most negative situations. For this, we need the practice of maintaining positive thoughts under all circumstances.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 18-05-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To remind ourselves that we are the children of God is to take the gift of positivity.

Projection:
We usually turn to God only when the situation at hand becomes the worst, i.e., when there is no hope from anyone else. So, we find that in a negative situation our mind naturally goes into
negativity and then we have to make great effort to turn it positive again.

Solution:
We need to remind ourselves that we are the children of God. When we remind ourselves in this way we find that we have a right to our father's property, of all the positive qualities. Then, there will
naturally be peace, happiness and love in our life.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 17-05-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sparkle of a true diamond reveals itself.

Projection:
Whenever we make a positive contribution, we expect those around us to recognize and appreciate it. But there are occasions where we do not receive such recognition and we then feel disheartened which in turn doesn't let us give our best in all we do.

Solution:
Whenever we find ourselves expecting people to appreciate us, we need to remind ourselves that the diamond doesn't need to speak about it's own sparkle but is recognized because of its speciality.
We, too, need to discover our own speciality and work with it. We will, then, be satisfied whether we get recognition from others or not.

The one who is content is creative and thereby successful.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 16-05-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who is content is creative and thereby successful.

Projection:
It is usually believed that to be content is to have nothing to look forward to. And the one who is content is the one who tries for nothing new. So it is usually believed that contentment brings
hardly any great achievements.

Solution:
We need to ensure our own contentment in whatever we do. Because when we are not content we find that the mind is not able to work to the fullest extent. On the other hand contentment brings
creativity. This creativity ensures our constant progress and thereby our success.

Message for the day 15-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one who is free from complaints is the one who becomes complete.

Projection:
When things go wrong it is the usual reaction to complain, against situations or others, and to find fault with them. When we are busy complaining we will not be able to make any effort to make any
improvement in ourselves.

Solution:
Whenever we find ourselves complaining we need to see what we can do to bring about a change instead of just complaining. There would surely be something that we can do. Slowly as we begin to implement each thing that we learn, we find ourselves moving forward towards our own perfection.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 14-06-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To think of solutions instead of the problems is to be in peace.

Projection:
When faced with difficult situations, we see such situations as problems. Thus we find ourselves anxious or tensed and our mind is full of negative thoughts. We can no longer think positive or keep
our mind in peace.

Solution:
In each difficult situation we need to see what solution we can find for the situation at hand instead of thinking unnecessarily of it as a problem. When we learn to think in this way our mind will be light and we will be able to maintain our own inner peace.

Solution:-
We need to develop love for experimenting. In any situation we have to see if we can think of something different, if there is a better way of doing what we are supposed to do. Such experimenting will bring newness and progress in our life.

To be free from negative and waste is to be light and spread the light around.

Projection:
When we find ourselves having waste and negative thoughts we don't usually work to change them. It is because we don't realise the effect of such thoughts, which are harmful to both others and ourselves, too.

Solution:
We need to remind ourselves that the positivity in our mind is beneficial to both ourselves and others too. When we consciously remember the benefit of having positive thoughts we will not feel heavy because of the change that we have to bring about.

Experience of true peace brings easy success.

Projection:
Whenever things go wrong, we find ourselves worrying a lot about
the situation or the things that are going on. Then our mind is no
longer in peace but is busy worrying and breaking the situation into
pieces. We find that we don't find the accurate solution
immediately but are thinking in circles.

Solution:
While working to find solutions, it is more important to work at
our own inner peace before we make an attempt to try and find a
solution. With the right state of mind, we automatically find that the
right decisions are being made by us thus giving us the right results.

------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 25-05-2010
------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------
The combination of lightness and seriousness gives the best results.

Projection:
When we are working seriously on something, we usually
find ourselves getting very serious and grim. We cannot
be light at such circumstances. At the same time, lightness
is sometimes seen as being careless. So we are
encouraged to continue in that way and we can rarely be
light while fulfilling our responsibilities.

Solution:
We need to remind ourselves that while working at some
important task we need to make effort to maintain our
own internal lightness even while doing our best for the
success of the task. This lightness will enable us to bring
perfection to our task, as we do not feel the burden.

Surfacing Positive Thoughts

As we become aware that thoughts are the seeds of our
feelings, attitudes, beliefs, speech and actions, the
importance of transforming (changing) waste thoughts
into positive ones becomes self-evident – changing our
thoughts will change what we say, feel, think and do.

On your own, consider what are the gains or benefits of
this transformation (change) on:
1. Your body or physical health
2. Your mind or mental health
3. Your relationships or social health
4. Your productiveness (efficiency) at work
5. Your spirit, faith or belief system

To be a master is to be free from one's own weaknesses.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 24-05-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be a master is to be free from one's own weaknesses.

Projection:
We are usually under the control of our own weaknesses in a
negative situation. We first respond to the situation with our
weakness and then try hard to change our thoughts. But we don't
find ourselves succeeding and the weakness gets the better of us.

Solution:
We need to develop the consciousness that we are a master and
the weakness within us, our creation, and so it is totally in our
control. When we develop this consciousness we will be able to
win over our weaknesses easily.

What Is The Soul World (Incorporeal World) (cont.)?

The souls stay in the soul world in well-defined groups. They
descend onto this earth in a certain chronological order, according
to the quality of “sanskaras”. At the apex of this configuration of
souls is the Supreme Soul, whom the other souls call God, AIIah,
Jehovah, etc. Beneath him the souls are positioned number wise
according to their degree of similarity to the Supreme. Depending
on the quality and the part the soul has to play, it emerges in the
human world, taking the body of a developing baby in a mother's
womb. It then continues through the cycle of birth and rebirth
according to the role that it has. When the parts are over, souls
again return to this world of light, peace, liberation and complete
purity.

The deep rest the soul has had in the "home" has such an effect on
it that even though it forgets the details about that world, there is
always a desire to search for that peace and silence when it
becomes lost and confused in the world of matter. In that supreme
region only, souls remain in their completely original, natural state,
which can be experienced through Rajyoga meditation.

To judge others is to take law into our hands.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 23-05-2010
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To judge others is to take law into our hands.

Projection:
When we see anyone doing something wrong, we immediately
begin to think about it and judge them based on whatever we have
seen. When we bring any such negative thoughts we will not be
able to help in any way to overcome the weakness.

Solution:
We need to remind ourselves that we have no right to judge
others. The only thing we need to do is to see if we can help them
out in anyway to overcome their weakness. If not, we need not
think or talk about it, i.e., we need not take the law into our hands.

What Is The Soul World (Incorporeal World)?

The Soul World, which is the sixth element, is filled with
golden-red, divine Iight (experienced during meditation). Over
there, the conscient (living entities), the souls, have neither bodies
of matter nor bodies of light. There exists neither thought, word
nor action; just complete stillness, silence and peace. Just as this
world occupies a tiny part of this physical universe, so too the
souls occupy just a tiny portion of this infinite world. This is the
highest region, the original home of souls and the Supreme Soul,
God. This is the region which human beings, irrespective of culture
or religion, have tried to reach in thoughts, prayers, etc. It is caIled
by various names in various religions - Heaven, Nirvana,
Shantidham, Paramdham, Brahmand, etc. Before I came to this
earth, I was there with all other souls, brothers. The experience of
complete and utter peace, purity and silence is there in my sweet
home. There the soul is untouched by matter. Souls reside there as
star-like points of light. They remain dormant, with their roles in
the physical world latent (hidden) within them. The roles emerge
when they the souls appear on earth, the world stage.

(To be continued ….)
