The Five Primary Qualities
The soul has five primary qualities; we could say they are the primary colours of humanity with which we paint the picture of our lives.
They are:
Peace
This is the original quality of the soul. Peace is serenity, the personal inner state of non-violence. In this state of peace, I harmonize with everything and everyone around me. The word 'shanti' means peace, and it is this thought (or word) we use as the key step in meditation.
Purity
A state of honesty and cleanliness where I am the same inside and outside, not deceiving either myself, or others. Consequently, there is no room for artificiality. Purity is the state of original truth where no violence is committed against others, nor can violence be committed against me. When the self is in its original purity, others cannot damage or destroy it, even if they try, because there is a natural aura of protection that acts as an invisible barrier. When I achieve this level of purity, it means I respect all things.

Message for the day 15-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To have a big heart means never to be disheartened.
Expression:
To have a big heart means to have good wishes constantly for others
and to enable others to move forward through this. Even if someone
with negative characteristics comes in front, there are no feelings of
negativity as there is the power to accept and recognise their
specialities.
Experience:
I am able to be beyond confusion and doubt when I have a big heart. I
am never caught up with the problems but am very easily able to find a
way out. I am never disheartened even when I encounter the negative
aspect of someone. Instead I am able to very effectively and smoothly
come out of the situation.
