The Power To Decide
Sometimes, there are certain situations where I'm not so much faced with a choice between truth and falsehood where the power to discern (discriminate) is required, but I have to balance competing aims or priorities in deciding on a course of action. There's great value in getting this right, because poor judgment can entangle me in consequences from which it might take years to recover. If I'm deflected because of my attachments or desires, I'll lose my ability to decide accurately.
Understanding myself as a soul, and keeping my heart full and free through my relationship with the Supreme Soul (meditation) makes my mind free from waste thoughts. Having a clean, clear and concentrated mind helps me remain in the best possible position to judge correctly. I'll be like the Statue of Justice, wearing a blindfold as she carefully weighs the evidence: free from prejudice (bias) arising from superficial appearances, above the influence of situations and the emotions and opinions of others, perfectly centered, she is optimally placed to sense the right way forward.

Message for the day 26-09-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To experience newness each day is to be creative.
Expression:
Sometimes we find things to be very monotonous. There seems to be nothing new that is happening. Days pass on and we tend to become action conscious only trying to finish the tasks at hand. We feel caught up in the routine not able to enjoy anything anymore.
Experience:
Instead of just doing what has to be done in a monotonous way, we need to take a thought each day to experience something new. There is such a variety in each day; we only have to discover ways of experiencing it. When we learn this creative art, we will never be bored, but will be able to enjoy everything that comes our way.
