Soul Power Over Role Power (Part 2)
Continuing from yesterday’s message, the various components of soul power are:
The power of inner silence or the silence of my mind - Silence is a power.
The fewer the thoughts in my mind and the more powerful, positive, peaceful and
focused they are, the more my mind will contribute to the success of the role on
a subtle level. My silence is regularly tested when faced with negative situations
or obstacles. The more successful I am in maintaining this stage in such situations,
the more is my treasure of silence collected over a period of time and the more
positive the influence of this silence will be on my physical role and the success
of various tasks connected with the role.
The power of inner and outer carefreeness, happiness and contentment - Happiness
not only inside but also giving others an experience of the same through my face,
my eyes, my words and actions full of lightness and enthusiasm, etc. while coming
in contact with them. Ensuring I am content with myself and others and also others
are content with me. Regular periods of discontentment or unhappiness either within
me or in my relationships affect the success of my role adversely.
In tomorrow’s message, we shall explain the remaining components that make up soul
power.

Message for the day 23-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
True respect comes not from what one does but how well it is done.
Expression: Respect is usually associated with what one does, i.e., it is
usually associated with position, status etc which is associated with the job. When
there is such an attitude, there is a tendency to look at the people around in a
superficial way, missing out on recognising their true worth.
Experience: We need to recognise the fact that true respect comes from doing
well whatever is being done. We need to recognise each one's virtues and qualities
revealed through the behaviour. This enables us to have true respect for others.
We then no longer look at what one is doing as important, but will be able to appreciate
each and every one's contribution.
