Soul Power Over Role Power (Part 3)
Continuing from yesterday’s message, the remaining components of soul power are:
The power of good wishes, desires and feelings full of love for others, while
coming in contact with them. These type of feelings will bring good wishes in return
from the other to you, which will not only empower you, but will also assist your
physical role on a subtle level.
The power of complete purity and cleanliness in thoughts, words and actions
- A state where one is not under the influence of vices like anger, ego, attachment,
greed, hatred, jealousy etc.
The 8 main powers - the power to tolerate, accommodate, face, pack up, discriminate
(or discern), judge (or decide), withdraw and co-operate – their implementation
on an internal and external level i.e. not only in words and actions, but also on
a thought level. Where there is lack of any of the above powers inside me, there
will definitely be waste and you will be weakened, which reduces the probability
of success of your role.
The power of truth or spiritual wisdom - A state where the self has deeply
realized and understood eternal truths of the soul, the Supreme and the Law of Karma
and has drawn immense amount of power and experience from that knowledge. The power
of physical knowledge would fall under role power, which has been explained earlier.
By focusing on each of the above components of soul power and those explained in
yesterday’s message, by giving them more weightage and using them along with the
components of the role, which were mentioned in the message before that, one can
experience the desired success in any role in any sphere of life very easily without
much effort.

Message for the day 24-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Self-respect increases when one learns to converse positively to the self.
Expression: The usual way to talk to the self is to talk to the most superficial
aspects of the personality, those which are related to fears (including those of
the future), complaints and mindless repetition of things in the past. Such talk
to the self only lowers the self-respect to a great extent.
Experience: Not only when our mind is going towards waste and negative, but
at all times, it is important that we talk to the mind with love, as we would talk
to a child. Like a mother would lovingly explain to the child, we need to teach
our mind with love. This creates true happiness within and our self-respect increases.
