To end waste means to be free from defeat.

Message for the day 17-08-2015

Thought to ponder: The one with faith in the intellect always remains at a distance from waste, whether it is waste thoughts, waste words or waste actions. To move away from waste means to be victorious. The one who is free from waste is busy with the positive and useful. Such a person is constantly searching for solutions and trying to make the best out of the situation. 

Point to practice: It is because of waste that I sometimes experience defeat and sometimes victory. If I am able to finish waste, I am able to finish defeat. Because whatever the situation may be, however challenging it may be, if I am able to finish waste I am able to recognize the benefit that is merged within it and so I am able to experience being constantly victorious. 

Soul Sustenance 17-08-2015 Fulfilling Desires By Changing Your Belief System (Part 2) We have been holding a lot of incorrect beliefs as to what can lead us to back to our eternal and original state (these states were discussed in yesterday’s message) and many of our actions are based on these beliefs. We have mentioned a few examples of incorrect beliefs below. There are many more, which you could reflect on. Lust and attachment increases love in a relationship. Anger is necessary for success in relationships and is important for getting work done and gaining respect. It provides a mental upsurge of energy. Greed attracts physical prosperity and brings happiness. Ego is power; a person with no ego is generally timid or submissive. Worry prepares us for the worst, worrying for someone close is expressing our love for them. Being emotional and crying for our loved ones in bad times, is expressing love for them. Being emotional and crying in good times is expressing and experiencing joy. Gossiping increases social bonding and gives one an experience of joy. Jealousy inspires us to do better and achieve more. The Supreme Teacher changes our belief system and not only makes us aware of these incorrect beliefs but reconditions us by incorporating correct beliefs inside us so that we start performing karmas or actions based on them and start progressing towards our eternal and original state.
