Meditation In Action
Meditation is not something we do but rather something we have. It is not that we
spend 23 hours in an extrovert state and only one hour in introspective self-effort.
In this sense, extroversion means to have the attention drawn by all the goings-on
outside the soul. True introversion, also, does not mean to sit in a corner and
not speak to anyone; it means to pay attention that all thoughts, words and actions
are flowing in the right direction. In this respect, the churning over of points
of knowledge throughout our active hours strengthens and maintains the meditative
state of mind.
There are five basic points to churn over. Create your own thought commentaries
around each point.
Who Am I?
I am a soul. The body is my chariot. All human beings are souls too, my brothers
and sisters. I see them with spiritual love. Whilst walking and talking I see others
as souls. Maintaining this vision I cross all the barriers of worldly differences.
Whose Child Am I?
Just as I naturally have the awareness of being the child of my physical father,
receiving sustenance and a form of inheritance, so too I can have the natural consciousness
of being a child of the Supreme Father. I can reflect on the sustenance and inheritance
in the form of knowledge, virtues and powers I receive from Him.

Message for the day 25-06-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To have power means to enjoy the variety of life.
Expression: When there is the inner strength there is enthusiasm to give
the best and also to learn and improve with every obstacle. To work with inner power
is to be like a skilled player whose focus is on enjoying the match too rather than
just on winning.
Experience: When I have learned the art of focusing on my strengths, I am
able to enjoy the variety scenes that life brings for me. I would enjoy dealing
with all these different scenes in a natural and easy way, and also be naturally
victorious. And so I have the benefit of double enjoyment.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
