The Benefits Of Soul Consciousness (cont.)
The following differences between body consciousness and soul consciousness, will
make you realize the benefits of soul consciousness (the practice of meditation
make us soul conscious):
In Body Consciousness: I am disturbed by feelings of false attractions.
In Soul Consciousness: I am attracted by the qualities of the Supreme Soul only.
In Body Consciousness: I give sorrow, like a thorn hurting everyone.
In Soul Consciousness: I spread the fragrance of virtues like a flower.
In Body Consciousness: I see everyone relative to my individual identity, my life
revolving around "me"... this is arrogance (ego).
In Soul Consciousness: I respect each individual and relate to them with humility
(egolessness).
In Body Consciousness: I am tense and tired.
In Soul Consciousness: I am alert and relaxed.

Message for the day 26-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
A practical example is one whose every action inspires others.
Projection: When we want to start off something new and different we look
for role models or inspiration, which we rarely get. We usually never think of being
an inspiration for others. So we begin to lose enthusiasm to the extent that we
might even give up what we started.
Solution: For whatever we do, we need to have the aim of becoming an example,
an inspiration for others. The more we have this in our mind, we will never be discouraged
by others' actions. Instead we will be able to perform each action with such enthusiasm
and such perfection that our each action becomes an inspiration for others.
