The Invisible Factor
The most powerful things are invisible. For example, the roots of a tree cannot
be seen; they are underground silently nourishing the visible tree. A house is supported
by its foundation deep within the earth. If the foundation is weak the building
will fall when there is some kind of strong pressure, like an earthquake. The essence
of matter is the atom; it holds a tremendous amount of energy but cannot be seen
by the eyes.
Can we see the Supreme Being (God)? You will never meet someone who has seen Him.
People have experienced, or felt God's presence but no one has actually seen a personal
form, yet millions believe in such a Being! In the same way, when it comes to knowing
the true self, we ask, 'What does the soul look like? Where is it situated?'
Spirituality leads us to the answers related to the invisible i.e. answers to what
is the form, location and virtues of the soul as well as the Supreme Soul.

Message for the day 04-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Success in relationships comes when we are free from expectations.
Expression: In our daily interactions if we find that we are not able to
get along with someone, our usual reaction is to avoid that person alltogether in
order to avoid the conflict. But that is not really a solution. Unless we recognise
why we are not able to get along with that person we will face the same problem
with someone else.
Experience: When we are not able to get along with someone we need to recognise
the fact that the problem is not with the person but with our own expectations.
When our expectations are not being met we have a conflict which is reflected in
our relationship with that person. So we need to work at recognizing and removing
these expectations.
