To know the fruit of efforts will surely come is to remain happy and healthy.
Expression: To know that the fruit of my effort will eventually come one
day is to understand the importance of making effort. Once there is this understanding,
it becomes easy to continue making effort, which is like nourishment that keeps
one happy. So effort is never stopped till what has to be achieved is achieved.
Experience: Knowing that my effort will surely be fruitful makes me enjoy
everything I do. It makes me remain happy, keeps me enthusiastic and free from tiredness,
even when things are not going right for me. My mental happiness and well being
thus keeps me healthy.

Worry Confused With Concern
One of the most
incorrect beliefs that we have acquired since childhood is
that
to worry is to care, worrying is caring. Our parents are the people
whom we grow up with and are closest to in our childhood. As soon as we are born,
in fact even before we are born, even when we are in our mother’s womb, they start
transmitting the energy of this belief through their thoughts and later on when
we are physically present in front of them, through thoughts, words and actions;
to us, which we catch, because we being a spiritual energy, not only transmit or
radiate but also absorb energy. As we grow up, this false belief keeps reaching
us from everyone on a subtle as level as physical level from whom we meet and are
close to including our friends, siblings (brothers and sisters), spouse etc. and
slowly we start accepting this belief as being completely true and lead our lives
according to it and even transmit the same to others. That is why it is
extremely difficult to find a single person today who does not live according to
this belief or does not bring it into their daily lives to some extent or the other.
A very common example of the above belief which we all have gone through sometime
or the other is when we are late by just a few minutes in coming back home from
office. On reaching home, we are asked a thousand questions and by our family members,
perhaps our parents or spouse or children about where we have been and why hadn’t
we bothered to call and also informed about another thousand negative assumptions
they had made in that much time. Why? Because they had been worried for us. We are
normally surprised with the fact they are worrying, because 9 out of 10 times we
are late because of a not so serious reason, but our family members explain that
we were worrying for you because we care for you. But worrying is not caring.
Worry
is fear or anxiety and care is love or concern, they are two opposite emotions which
can never exist together at the same time.
In tomorrow's message, we shall demonstrate how on a subtle energy level,
true love and concern is more beneficial than worry in coming out of negative situations,
in which we find ourselves every now and then.
