A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith In Critical Situations (Part 1)
Almost every single day in our present lives brings with it various ups and downs
in mind or sanskaras (when our thoughts or sanskaras are not the way we would
like them to be, in spite of us wanting them to be so), body, wealth (or profession
or role) and relationships. There is not a single human soul existing
in the entire world today that is experiencing a constant state of positivity in
the four parameters mentioned above. All parameters are extremely changeable and
every now and then seem to bring with them negative surprises. A very simple reason
for this is today we stand at the fag end of the eternal world cycle, when every
human soul is in its last phase of its journey of birth and rebirth in this respective
cycle, a journey in which it has committed many mistakes, especially in the latter
part of the journey, as it has continued to lose its power and succumbed to negativity
or the consciousness of the physical body.
So the problems from time to time in the four parameters mind, body, wealth and relationships
are nothing but a reflection or mirror image of incorrect actions performed by each
soul, especially in the latter part of this cycle. If we are expecting a
time to come in the present time, when all these will be absolutely fine and they
will always be positive, that will not be possible, not until this cycle reaches
an end and we return back home to the soul world. Until we return, we will need
to settle all our accounts of our past karmas or incorrect actions, by being faced
with problems in these four parameters (not necessarily in all of them at the same
time, but in one or more from time to time) and overcoming them with ease, positivity
and power. Instead of running away from this reality we need to accept it completely
and instead of looking at ways of keeping these parameters positive on a physical
or superficial level only, which we will be able to do but only to some extent because
there will be times when it will not be possible for us to change the negativity
in these parameters, in spite of our deep efforts on a physical level. We should
do it and we will be able to do it at times, but it will not be possible each time
that these parameters will change for the better as much as we want and at the speed
we desire.

Message for the day 16-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To transform waste into something purposeful and powerful is to remain light.
Expression: To successfully transform something waste into something powerful
and meaningful is to look beyond the situation and see what it has to teach. When
there is the ability to do this, there is the ability to go on in spite of the most
challenging obstacles. There is the deep understanding that nothing happens without
a purpose. There is no time or energy wasted in wasteful company.
Experience: When I understand the significance of everything that happens,
I am able to transform in a second. So I am able to remain light because I am able
to put in sincere effort and free myself from the burden of waste. I also find that
there is no problem in my relationships too, as I am able to understand others and
behave accordingly.
