Choose Your Actions Right (Part 3)

Choose Your Actions Right (Part 3) 4. Good and bad actions are both prevalent in society. It is worth wondering that while performing different actions in life, do we ever stop to think that how many of our actions are positive or good and how many are negative or bad. E.g. You have visited your office today and met lots of people over there in your work sphere. Everyone you meet, you share something different with them at the level of thoughts and feelings as well as at the level of words and actions. With some people, you share more qualities, with some you are just neutral and with some others you can be negative. So, in the middle of this, do you review your actions everyday and then make corrections for the future. First, the knowledge of good and bad is important and then based on that knowledge, your actions begin to get shaped accordingly. This is what should be our homework for everyday, because we are all students and our teacher is we ourselves. 5. We are all spiritual travelers also and we are carrying sanskaras of everything we do today into our next births, into the future. Do we want to carry a lot of baggage of incorrect and bad sanskaras due to negative actions or do we want to travel light with lots of blessings received from good and correct actions is our choice. We do not take our relationships, our physical body, our wealth or even our roles into our next birth. All these change when we leave this physical body. What remains is our sanskaras, which we get filled with, based on our actions. Positive actions will fill us with positive sanskaras and negative actions with negative sanskaras. And if our sanskaras are positive and beautiful, we will get a beautiful and healthy body, perfect relationships, lots of wealth and very nice roles to play in our next life or birth. Message for the day Self-respect brings constant learning and an experience of success. Expression: Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a positive and elevated state of mind. There is openness and enthusiasm to bring about progress in one's life. Everything that is done is towards this end. So, the one with self-respect naturally reveals one's speciality in all thoughts, words and actions. Experience: When I am able to maintain my own state of self-respect, I am able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. I'm able to understand, accept and make use of all situations in the right way. So, whatever the situation may be, for me there is a constant experience of progress.

Choose Your Actions Right (Part 2)

Choose Your Actions Right (Part 2) 2. Good actions and negative actions are two sides of the same coin of life. The more our life is full of positive and nice actions, the more happier and lighter we will feel. Very often people who are unhappy and discontent with life are ones who have a negative past of bad actions, either in this life or previous lives. Also, the more we perform positive actions now, the more we become important mediums to radiate goodness in the world, which is like our true religion and duty given to us by God. Do we live our life only for ourselves or do we fulfill this task of – Be nice and spread niceness, be positive and spread positivity? It's worth asking ourselves. So positivity does not remain hidden and positivity should be shared with others. This is a beautiful benefit of performing good actions. Bad actions on the other hand make us loose respect in society, in our own eyes and in the eyes of God, as we inspire other people towards negativity instead of goodness. 3. Good actions are the original actions of the world. As the world has become older, negativity of various types through the mediums of lust, anger, ego, greed, attachment, hatred, jealousy, revenge and many other negative emotions has become prevalent. The original good men and women of the world were not under the influence of all these negative emotions. That is why there is a saying in the world that God made man in His own image. The original goodness of the world is a reflection of God's nature and today's negativity is a reflection of the Devil or Ravana as they say. The Devil or Ravana is nothing but our weaknesses which are inside us. (To be continued tomorrow …) Message for the day The power of determination brings all thoughts into practice. Expression: There are a lot of thoughts that come into the mind that should come into practice immediately. These thoughts come according to the demands of time or according to the kind of people that one comes into contact with. But the only way to bring all these thoughts into practice is to use the power of determination. Where there is determination there is the commitment to use all the resources for the realisation of that thought. Experience: When I am able to use the power of determination, I am able to realise my inner potential and use it in the right way. So I am able to experience constant progress, because all my thoughts are for my own self progress and all these thoughts naturally come into practice. I never give up anything with temporary setbacks but am able to do everything for the constant progress of the self.

Choose Your Actions Right (Part 1)

Choose Your Actions Right (Part 1) Life is a beautiful journey with a number of twists and turns and it brings with it different scenes in which our ability to face them with strength and stability is tested. This is because uncertainties in life are immense and challenges in life are to be overcome regularly. A negative situation in our present life is a sign of an incorrect action or actions performed in past lives or in this life. Also, good actions performed at the present moment of time will nullify the influence of these negative actions of the past and help reduce the sorrow or discontentment that they might cause. What are good actions and what are negative actions and how can we differentiate the two? Let's look at their meaning in this message. 1. Good actions are those actions which are based on the original qualities of the soul – peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and wisdom. On the other hand, any action which takes us away from these qualities at the level of the personality or sanskaras is a negative action. Let's say, today my office colleague is angry with me and I have lost my temper back at him. After becoming angry, how do I feel? I feel a lack of peace, love and joy and I also know that my action lacks wisdom. In the same manner, today I have been very egoistic and shown false pride while talking and behaving with others. In such a case, I can never feel powerful because the one with false pride will also feel insulted easily, if someone talks negatively about him or her. Also, the one with ego is bitter and critical, which is a sign of lack of love and wisdom.   (To be continued tomorrow …) Message for the day Love creates the right environment for others' positive growth. Expression: Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created.  Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and gives the encouragement to others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others. Experience: When I have love for others, along with perceiving their specialities, I am also able to recognise and use my specialities and inner powers more and more.  Knowing and using these specialities is naturally for the benefit of those around me.  This gives me an inner experience of power which makes me a constant giver and a support for those around me.
