The Senses in Balance
Our five senses are windows, which open out to the world through which energy flows
in two directions. The senses receive impressions and information from the world,
and at the same time transmit our personalities to others. Our eyes receive a constant
stream of visual messages, but we may also use the eyes to show how we feel. Through
our ears we hear the sounds of life; while by "lending an ear" to others we give
comfort to them. Touch allows us to experience texture; but can also transmit love
and assurance. Our senses are not merely instruments, but deep-rooted aspects of
the self or the soul.
In India, the senses of the body (eyes, ears, nose, tongue and hands) are beautifully
depicted in the form of a chariot. The self or the soul is the charioteer (controller
of the chariot); the five senses are the five horses. The self keeps the senses
harmoniously (peacefully) working together, controlling their tendency to go out
of control.

Message for the day 20-06-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who has faith is always carefree.
Projection: When things go wrong we tend to worry a lot. Many waste questions
come up in our mind troubling us throughout the difficult time. We are not able
to be free from these kind of waste thoughts and tend to feel heavy.
Solution: The way to be light at all times is to develop the faith that things
will work out fine. Even during the difficult situation we need to maintain the
faith that there will be something good that will emerge from the situation. This
will enable us to be light even during the most difficult situation.
