Varied (Different) Concepts About The Supreme Being or God (Part 2)
There is an endless variety of human theories and concepts which appear to create
confusion and even hatred among people when they are opposed to each other, but
ultimately I must ask myself how far "I", the individual, have the experience of
His powers and qualities.
The basis of forming a relationship with anyone is knowledge of who they are, what
they look like, where they are from, and what they do. Similarly if I am to have
the awareness of myself as a soul, and emerging from that, a close relationship
with God, the Supreme Soul, then I must know:
• Who He is?
• What His form is or what does He look like?
• Where He is or where does He reside (stay)?
• What His personality traits or sanskars are?
• What His acts or karmas are?
• What is my relationship with Him?
God is living and real, not a matter of scientific research. It is necessary for
me to re-establish a living relationship with Him, on the basis of complete knowledge
of Him. My connection should not be based on the fears and superstitions of the
past.

Message for the day 17-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Negative situations can be transformed into positive with the power of stability.
Expression: When faced with a negative situation, usually the mind gets affected.
Lot of questions arise in the mind that don't allow us to be stable at that time.
Because of the thoughts in our mind, although it is in our hands to work at transforming
the situation we don't make use of this opportunity but only end up adding to the
negativity.
Experience: In a negative situation, it is necessary for us to maintain our
own inner stability. We need to free ourselves from wasteful thoughts. Then the
negativity in the situation will finish, first in our mind and then in the situation
itself. Our own internal stability will help in finishing the influence of the external
situation.
