A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith In Critical Situations (Part 3)
In the latter part of the birth-rebirth cycle, as our accounts of negative karma
increased, we have experienced large number of ups and downs in the four parameters
explained in the last two days messages – mind, body, wealth (or profession) and
relationships. All these bitter experiences, which we obviously do not remember
today, have weakened us and left deep scars on our subconscious mind and are in
fact the main cause of the creation of sanskaras of fear, uncertainty, doubt, pessimism,
etc. which we find in ourselves today. Repeated experiences cause the formation
of similar sanskaras. If we experience peace repeatedly i.e. we think about peace,
visualize peace, make peaceful conversations repeatedly, sanskaras of peace are
created inside us. In the same way each time something went wrong with any of the
four parameters (mentioned above) in the past births; due to a lack of spiritual
awareness and power, we experienced sorrow, pain, peacelessness, anxiety etc. and
that caused the creation of similar sanskaras inside us. This is the main reason
why today we find ourselves in a situation, when faced with a problem, we are not
being able to have the faith in ourselves, that we can emerge victorious in the
situation.
We have experienced failure in the past births at different points of time and many
times and that is why each time something goes wrong, although we emerge thoughts
of victory we dilute these thoughts with a large number of weak thoughts, of possible
failure. This kind of a weak consciousness during problems is not only prolonging
the time period of our problems but is also keeping the solution away much longer.
Today, with the help of spirituality, we need to inject the power of faith in our
thoughts, words and actions. For that, we need to increase our thought power tremendously,
which will have an effect on our words and actions automatically. The food of powerful
thoughts through listening to or reading spiritual knowledge and the experience
of emotional power through meditation given to the mind only can heal the emotional
scars inside us over a period of time, the result of which we can become full of
fierce determination and will-power so as to weaken negative situations and not
let situations weaken us.

Message for the day 18-10-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To be strong is to watch situations with detachment.
Expression: When a difficult situation comes our way, we think it is permanent.
We do try to bring about change, but very soon give up when we don't find any change.
We lose patience to work on the situation and we feel tensed and stressed.
Experience: In order to pass in any situation we need to recognize and understand
the fact that all situations will surely pass by when the time comes. But we don't
have to get stuck with it at that time. We need to do what we can and just wait
for the time to pass by.
