Understanding What Is An Angel (Part 1)
When I have the consciousness that I am a soul, a non-physical being of light, acting
through the physical body, even others begin to notice. This is what the angelic
stage is. By remaining in this angelic, soul-conscious stage, others will also feel
a sense of lightness and upliftment in my company. Angels are thought to
be mythical creatures who have a human form with wings, who are always in the company
of God and help Him in guarding and protecting other souls. Actually, angels are
human beings with divine qualities.
Angels are always shown with wings. One of the wings of the angel is symbolic of
spiritual knowledge, which it has received from God; the other is symbolic of spiritual
qualities and powers, which it has inculcated, through the power of meditation or
a spiritual connection with God. The wings of an angel also symbolize the
lightness and freedom of such souls. With such wings the angel flies constantly
in the company of God. Its lightness and freedom is because it has no bondages or
attachments in the physical world; all the chains have been broken. Because angels
has the absolute and constant support of the Supreme Being they can be the support
and protectors of many others, by sharing with them, spiritual knowledge, qualities
and powers, which they possesses.
An angel is the right hand of God in the task of world transformation (change).
The language which it uses to bring about this transformation is spiritual silence;
positive, powerful and pure thoughts along with sweet words full of spiritual knowledge,
all of which have the effect of uplifting others.

Message for the day 25-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Faith enables one to bring solutions to problems.
Expression: When problems come, we tend to overreact to it or exaggerate
it to such an extent that it becomes a trap for us. Instead of working on the problem
we fall a prey to it making all our thoughts negative. Once we are caught up in
negativity we will neither look for, nor find solutions.
Experience: Each thought of ours is important when working on a problem.
Instead of making our thoughts negative, we need to remind ourselves that what we
are going through is a test which we must pass with honour. When we have this thought,
all our energy will be focussed on working to bring a solution.
