The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 1)
Harmony within the self and with others is based on the accuracy of three aspects
of remembrance: the ability to disconnect, connect and reconnect.
When I disconnect my thoughts from outside influences, stepping back from
actions and words, then I can go into silence and connect with the self. To plug
into the self, l use the thought: Om Shanti or “I am a peaceful soul”. This
thought is the current that activates my eternal resource of peace and the qualities
that emanate from this peace. The first step in meditation is always to connect
with the self: what we call the inward step.
The next step in meditation is vertical, where, within one second, my concentrated
thought connects my mind with the Supreme Source of Peace.
Silence and love give the mind wings to break the pull of gravity and to fly and
unite with the One, who is the purest point of energy in the universe. This vertical
connection from the point of the self, the soul, to the point of the universe, the
Supreme Soul, gives the mind fresh new energy. This fresh energy is divine spiritual
power and cannot be found in, or taken from, a human being. Therefore, if I wish
to recharge myself, to rediscover and restore the original balance and harmony within
myself, the second movement made by my mind must be vertical.

Message for the day 08-12-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is free from wasteful words is the one who can be light.
Expression: Sometimes when something only needs a few words to explain, we
continue to speak and expand on it for a long time. We actually use more words than
necessary thinking we are clarifying things. We give the justification to ourselves
that it is necessary or the other person does not understand. These words sometimes
disturb the other person and spoil our relationships too.
Experience: We constantly need to pay attention to the words that we speak.
We need to check if we are using any more words than we actually need to. When we
remind ourselves of a simple slogan, "speak less, speak softly and speak sweetly",
our words will never be those that disturb others. We will then be able to maintain
our own lightness and that of others too.
In Spiritual Service,
