Thought to ponder: Anything that brings benefit to people is that which brings contentment. Through out the day, if I pay attention to this one aspect of bringing contentment to people, I will be able to add meaning and significance to everything I do.
Point to practice: Today I will ensure that in everything I do, I will ensure there is benefit for someone, including me. At least I will ensure that I will not do anything that will not bring benefit to others. Thus I will be able to make my actions more meaningful.
Soul Sustenance 14-07-2015 The Gateway To Peace And Happiness (Part 2) Remember that the soul world is the home of peace where all souls have stayed before coming down in the world, to take births. It is the place where we stay in complete silence and in our original pure state, a state which is called mukti or liberation. The soul world is a non-physical world of souls which are conscious beings of spiritual energy or non-physical light of consciousness, a light which cannot be seen with the physical eyes. All of us stay in the soul world in a state of silence, without any thoughts, in complete peace and without a physical body. We get the physical body when we come down on Earth. This is why this state is called a state of mukti or liberation. The other state is the state of jeevanmukti or also called liberation-in-life, which is the stage of complete happiness experienced by the soul, when it first comes down on Earth. To attain mukti or to go to the soul world, we need to visualize God in the soul world and make a meeting with Him at the present moment. Souls, who remember God in this way more, will stay closer to God in the soul world when they go there plus their sparkle or light in the soul world will be higher. Along with mukti, souls who fill themselves with the seven qualities of peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and truth from God, much more than the others at the present moment, they will experience a much higher stage of jeevanmukti i.e. they will be happier when they start playing their roles on Earth. Souls who are more full of the seven qualities mentioned above will be happier and for a longer period of time, while playing their roles in the world. Along with the qualities, the soul needs to be absolutely clean of many impure sanskaras which are created in the soul by performing actions under the influence of the five main impure emotions of lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego in their previous births and in the present birth; to experience mukti and jeevanmukti.
