Fulfilling The Criteria Of Positivity
What is the best way to define positivity? What, for you, is a positive
thought, word or action? We could define positivity as something which leads me as
well as others towards to a state of truth. A state of truth for me as well as any
and every soul is a state in which it is an embodiment of the virtues of peace,
love, joy, purity and power i.e. a state in which these virtues exist inside the
soul to the full extent. As a result, in this state of truth everything
that flows out of the soul or everything that it radiates or every thought, feeling,
word or action that it creates, speaks or performs, is filled with these qualities.
This state of truth is the original state of every soul. All these qualities are
connected with each other. One quality attracts the remaining qualities towards
itself automatically. So, when I, through any medium, bring myself and others, whom
I interact with, close to this state, to whatever extent, then that is positivity.
If my thought, word or action takes me and others away from this state of truth,
then that is the opposite i.e. negativity. Negativity hides my truth, and causes
me to take incorrect steps during the day, without realizing, hurting myself and
others yet not knowing how or why. At the level of non-physical spiritual vibrations,
we are all connected with each other, as a result of which if I help others to come
close to the experience of truth, truth as defined above, I will also help myself:
whereas if I bring others down into a state of falsehood that will also bring me
down. Whenever I give another soul an experience of any of these virtues,
the virtue first flows through me and then touches the other. As a result there
is an increase in the virtue inside me first and then the other is benefitted.
In the entire day, my words and actions may be numbered, but my thoughts are in
thousands. My mind works, even when I sleep, even though I am not active physically
at that time. The quality of my thoughts at that time is largely influenced by the
quality of my thoughts, words and actions during the day. So I need to be aware
throughout the day as to how much is each thought, word and action of mine fulfilling
the criteria of positivity mentioned above. The more my thoughts, words and actions
do so; the result is an increase in an experience of inner and outer lightness in
the self and a similar experience from me to those who come into my contact or whom
I interact with.

Message for the day 14-06-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To be free from weakness means to have the power to mould.
Expression: When there is a weakness, it becomes difficult to mould according
to the needs of the situation. Weakness creates hardness and rigidity not allowing
the situations to create internal beauty. So the one who is constantly working with
one's own weakness finds 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.
Experience: 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.
