Overcoming The Loss/Separation Of A Loved One (cont.)
How quickly could a person get over the loss of a loved one and begin to feel fine?
We have the capacity to do it the same day or the next day. But our beliefs and
conditioning, our attachments and lack of will and inner capacity, prevent us from
getting better rapidly and feeling fine. Independent of the kind of mourning that
you have to go through, it is a matter of preventing your memories from invading
your spirit, your mind and your heart. Circumscribe them, limit them and put them
in their place: in the past. Yesterday has already passed.
On the level of action, now, in the present, use your time, your talents and your
thoughts for creative tasks. Help your friends and other close ones. It will help
you to come out of your aloneness and to relate. Share, dialogue and involve yourself
in serving. With respect to your accumulated experiences, meditate to gain mastery
in managing your memories. Clean out the cupboards of your inner self, so that the
stored memories do not cause upsets, interference or suffering in the present moment.
Meditate to accept and let go. Give thanks to the past. Learn from it. But now let
go and free yourself. Live this moment in wholeness. It depends on you to create
the right thought for it to be like that.

Message for the day 16-04-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Where the mind is free from worry, the biggest task becomes light.
Projection: We sometimes find ourselves in such situations, which make our
mind heavy. We are not able to work well in such a situation, as the smallest thing
need to be done seems very big and difficult.
Solution: We need to learn the art of looking at the brighter side of things,
because even the most negative thing has something positive in it. When we develop
this art we will be able to be light and give our best to the task at hand. Then
even the most difficult task will seem very easy.
