The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 3)
Referring to the last two days’ messages, all three points of connection (connection
with the self, of the self with the Supreme and of the self with others) are necessary
for good emotional and spiritual health.
If I am only connected inwards, there is a great danger of arrogance and being lost
in only myself. If I am only connected to the Supreme Source with little reference
to myself, or others, there is the danger of becoming rigid, fanatical and unrealistic.
If I am over-focused on others and on my relationships with others, thinking I will
receive my happiness and sense of purpose from them, then a dependence is created,
which results in conflict and disappointment.
When I do reconnect with the outside world, it can only be done effectively from
the point of advantage of connection with the self and with the Supreme Source.
This three-point connection can be depicted in the form of a triangle with the self
as a point (A), then the vertical movement upward to the Supreme Point (A to B),
then the horizontal connection to others (A to C). Others need to have their own
independent and personal connection with the Supreme Point to revitalize and renew
their own consciousness (C to B). In this way, the triangle of harmonious energy
(ABC) becomes complete.

Message for the day 10-12-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To know that the seed of selfless action will surely bear fruit at its own time is
to be light.
Expression: Sometimes when involved in a task, we tend to get carried away
with the result. We become so result-oriented that we begin to expect the fruit
of what we have done immediately. Without the recognition of the fact that the result
might take time to come, we begin to get caught up with our own expectations. This
creates a lot of heaviness in our mind and we might even give up what we are doing.
Experience: When we make a contribution for something, we must develop faith
that whatever has to happen will happen at the right time. We don't have to eat
unripe fruit, i.e., not get carried away with immediate results but have to wait
patiently knowing that the fruits of our actions will ripen at their own time. With
faith this is possible and we will be able to free ourselves from negativity and
heaviness.
