Introversion brings empowerment of the self.

Projection: Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hidden there. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self.

Solution: I need to give myself a little time everyday at regular intervals. During this time, I need to look within and find my own uniqueness and I will find that I am able to have access to my own positivity. This practice will help me during a difficult time too and I will be able to use these qualities under all circumstances. So I will not be a victim to situations but will be able to give what is required at that time.

Introversion helps to manage thoughts better.

Projection: With introversion we can very easily manage our thoughts since our mind will be free from waste and negative. Also when we are introverted, we find that there is no need to think as much as we do, but the thoughts required emerge effortlessly. Thus we are able to use our thoughts powerfully.

Solution: When I find myself having a lot of thoughts due to some situation, I only need to sit in silence and practice going within myself instead of thinking too much about the situation. I need to make an attempt to experience the peace deep within myself and I will find myself getting calmer.   

How to manage criticism?

To be stable means to be firmly set on the seat of self-respect.

Projection: When we are stable in the seat of self-respect, we will be able to take criticism in the right way. If we work with ego, we will be upset by even a little criticism that comes our way. On the other hand, our stage of being in a stage of self-respect will enable us to learn from all situations.

Solution: When someone criticises me, I need to tell myself that I am a leader, for it is only a leader who is criticised. I should check and see if I can learn something from the comment that I get and incorporate it in my life. If there's nothing for me to learn I just have to set myself in my seat of self-respect.   

Importance of practicing detachment

Detachment brings stability.

Projection: When we use the facilities we have with detachment, we will not be influenced by them but will make full use of them. When we are attached to the instruments we will not be able to remain stable if those instruments are not available for us.

Solution: If I ever find myself in a situation where some facility which I use is not available for me, I need to remind myself that the facilities that I use are my creation and I need not be dependent on them. In this way I can maintain my stability.   

Remain stable in all situations

The one who considers himself as a server is the one who can remains stable in all situations.

Projection: In all that we do, if we have the consciousness of being a server i.e., the one who is available for bringing benefit to those around us in one way or the other, we can be stable. When we have this consciousness, we would naturally have no expectations either from people or situations and we will be stable.

Solution: Each day it is necessary for me to take the thought that each person I meet should take something (even if it is a good wish) from me and no one should go away empty-handed. When I do this, I will be able to be free from expectations and I can naturally be stable.   

Truth will surface itself

Stability comes where there is truth.

Projection: If we are arguing to prove ourselves right, we are not actually in our stable stage. It is of course necessary to clarify for accuracy, but it is not necessary to argue with stubbornness. If we are arguing, it means we are not convinced about the truth.

Solution: When involved in an argument with someone, I need to check if I am convinced of the truth of what I am arguing about. If I am sure, then I need to remind myself that I needn't argue because truth will be revealed on its own. This will ensure my stability in that particular situation. Then I can clear things out with a cool mind.

How to overcome one's weakness?

---------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 28-07-2011
----------------------------------------------------------
To be free from one's own weaknesses means to be stable.

Projection: When we think of our weaknesses as 'our' nature, we will not be able to overcome them. When there is the feeling of 'mine' there is a feeling of belonging, and naturally we feel a right to use that weakness. When we work with any weakness we will not be able to maintain stability.

Solution: When I am confronted with my weakness, I need to develop the consciousness that I am the master, this weakness is not mine and I don't come in the influence of that which I have taken on from outside. I need to understand that my nature is not that of weakness, but of strength. Practicing in this way enables me to remain stable in all circumstances.
