Fulfilling Desires By Changing Your Belief System (Part 2)
We have been holding a lot of incorrect beliefs as to what can lead us to back to our eternal and original state (these states were discussed in yesterday’s message) and many of our actions are based on these beliefs. We have mentioned a few examples of incorrect beliefs below. There are many more, which you could reflect on.
Lust and attachment increases love in a relationship.
Anger is necessary for success in relationships and is important for getting work done and gaining respect. It provides a mental upsurge of energy.
Greed attracts physical prosperity and brings happiness.
Ego is power; a person with no ego is generally timid or submissive.
Worry prepares us for the worst, worrying for someone close is expressing our love for them.
Being emotional and crying for our loved ones in bad times, is expressing love for them. Being emotional and crying in good times is expressing and experiencing joy.
Gossiping increases social bonding and gives one an experience of joy.
Jealousy inspires us to do better and achieve more.
The Supreme Teacher changes our belief system and not only makes us aware of these incorrect beliefs but reconditions us by incorporating correct beliefs inside us so that we start performing karmas or actions based on them and start progressing towards our eternal and original state.

Message for the day 09-01-2014
-----------------------------------------
Patience enables one to easily overcome obstacles.
Expression: Usually, when faced with obstacles there is an urgency to remove it without any proper planning. That means we want to overcome the obstacle without putting in any effort. And when it is not possible, it tends to create impatience and frustration in us.
Experience: It is important to do some internal work to overcome an obstacle. First, it is good to check to what extent there is faith in the self. With faith in ourselves, we need to plan out before we act to remove or overcome the obstacle and we will, then, find ourselves successful.
