To listen to others fully is to be able to be free from repeating mistakes.

Projection: When there is criticism that comes one's way, there is a tendency to ignore or to defend oneself. Naturally we then lose the power to listen. We then find that we are not able to correct our mistakes and so they repeat. We thus find that we are not able to experience progress.

Solution: I need to carefully analyse to see if there is any truth in any criticism that comes my way. If there is, correction can be made accordingly. When I listen to others with honesty, I am able to discover even the most negligible aspect in my behaviour which I can change. So I find myself constantly improving and progressing and moving on towards success. So having brought about a change, even the criticism that comes my way stops.

To find reasons to be happy is to increase happiness.

Projection: Sometimes we find ourselves caught up with feelings of negativity from which we are not able to free ourselves. At such a time even situations with no great significance are seen with a vision of negativity as the mind searches for reasons to be sad and sorrowful. So there is constantly an expression of words and actions that reflect the need for sympathy and reassurance.

Solution: When I am happy, I start perceiving everything with that vision. It is like wearing coloured glasses. Whatever colour my glasses are, the whole world is coloured with it. Then, I am no longer able to perceive and recognize negativity and I am able to remain happy with everything. So I am able to really make everything beautiful again.

Silence enables one to listen to the solution for handling situations.

Projection: In challenging situations, we normally tend to think a lot in order to find the right solution. But we find that the more we think, the more we are far from finding the solution. The mind continues to think negative and waste, making us go round in circles. So we are not really able to bring any concrete answers to our problem or challenge.

Solution: Inner silence means an inner state of calm, which allows the best to come from within. When I am able to experience inner silence, or an inner state of calm in all situations, I am able to be free from problems, because I will not have the feeling of having a problem. Instead there will only be a feeling of having a solution and the confidence in doing the right thing. I will be able to use the best of my talent, creativity and inner power to do what has to be done.

To be content is to neither to get upset nor to upset others.

Projection: Many times I find that my words, actions or behaviour tend to upset others inspite of my not wanting to hurt them. I seem to be very happy with the situation, but others don't seem to be. At that time I am not really able to understand the reason for this and I consider the others to be unreasonable.

Solution: I need to check myself when others are getting upset with me. I need to make effort to check and change myself constantly so that I am able to move along with the demands of time. This is what will bring about true contentment - such contentment that neither will I be upset nor will I upset others.

To be careless means to misuse specialities.

To be careless means to misuse specialities.

Projection: Most of the times, we are careless which means there is no awareness of one's specialities and so there is the inability to use them for the benefit of the self and for the good of others. Sometimes there is also a tendency to become overconfident because of these specialities and not to work on self-transformation. When we become careless in this way, we are not able to recognize the need for self-change and so we are not able to bring about transformation.

Solution: When I am able to be free from carelessness, I am able to understand the importance of the specialities that I have, and am able to use every speciality that I have. The more I am able to bring out and use the latent specialities that are within me, I am able to experience quick transformation and constant progress.

The habit of thinking positive finishes negative.

The habit of thinking positive finishes negative.

Projection: Usually it becomes very difficult or sometimes impossible for me to think positive in difficult situations. At that time, although I want to, the response that emerges from within is based on the habit that is formed previously. This further then is reinforced and becomes a stronger habit of thinking negative. And we find ourselves caught up in this viscious cycle of negativity.

Solution: Just as it has become a habit of thinking negative, a positive habit when created will naturally bring about a change. A little practice and attention to form a habit of thinking positive will reveal its result of creating an influence of positivity. The situations will not change on their own, but the habit that has been formed will bring about a change in the response and will change the situation too. I then become free from the struggle of having to change my mind to positive in difficult situations.

To be free from weakness means to have the power to mould.

To be free from weakness means to have the power to mould.

Projection: We do have certain weaknesses within us which makes it difficult for us to mould according to the needs of the situation. The weakness within us creates hardness and rigidity not allowing the situations to create internal beauty. So when we are working with our own weakness, we find it difficult to stop the negativity from being expressed immediately. The weakness is revealed inspite of making effort not to and there is unpleasantness created.

Solution: To have the ability to mould means to become real gold. I become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which is ready to take beautiful shapes when it comes under the influence of the heat of the situation. So I have no hard feelings for having to adjust, but I am able to enjoy the beauty I create and the joy I spread.
