Experiencing And Visualizing God In The Soul World

Experiencing And Visualizing God In The Soul World

Spiritual wisdom given by God includes the divine knowledge of the soul and its original home, which is called the Soul World. The Soul World is also the world where God or the Supreme Soul resides. Rajyoga meditation is experiencing our spiritual self in the Soul World as a radiant point of spiritual consciousness and seeing God in front of us as a Supreme point of consciousness, who radiates the constant spiritual light of peace, purity, bliss, love and power on the soul and fills the soul with these qualities, which it has lost due to the influence of negativity and impurity in various births. How should we have this experience and improve our visualization, so that the third eye can clearly focus on God, the Supreme Being of Light and experience the deep peace and purity of the Soul World. Let us look at 5 important ways - 


1. One of the most important ways to improve our visualization is to have purity and cleanliness in every thought, word and action. Experiencing ourselves as a soul, a star like energy full of peace and purity at the center of the forehead, helps experience this cleanliness.


2. Having a vegetarian diet keeps the body and soul full of positive energy and helps us in visualization immensely. Also, cooking and eating this saatvik food in God's remembrance fills the food with an energy of divinity.


3. Keeping our mind full of positive thoughts and free from negative and waste thoughts keeps the third eye clean and when we sit to meditate, we are able to easily connect with God - the Supreme Source.


4. Applying a brake to our thoughts and doing a thoughts traffic control at regular intervals in the day keeps us focused and concentrated and is a key to good visualization and meditation.


5. Writing a small letter to God in the night and unburdening ourselves of all the negative situations in our life helps in meditation the next morning and good early morning visualization helps in meditation the entire day.

Message for the day


Tolerance brings the ability to enjoy the fruits of the moment.


Expression: 
When there is tolerance, there is the ability to understand and accept situations as they are. So there is no reaction to situation and people, but an ability to act in the right way. So the one who is tolerant is able to make use of the available resources and be the best under all circumstances. 


Experience: Even during challenging situations if I am tolerant, I am able to experience success each moment. I have the satisfaction of using the present moment in a fruitful way. Tolerance brings humility in me and I constantly keep learning and progressing, with every challenge that I am faced with.

Balancing Feminine And Masculine Personality Traits

Balancing Feminine And Masculine Personality Traits

Certain personality traits have been traditionally associated with men and certain others with women.

Feminine traits: power (shakti), nurturing, compassion, gentleness, grace, warmth, softness, understanding, sympathy, intuitive.

Masculine traits: authority, strong, providers, analytical, aggressive, adventurous, decisive, competitive, extroverted


If we see our own nature, we find ourselves to be a combination of both masculine and feminine qualities. The extent depends on our sanskars, past experiences and social conditioning. This is why we find certain men who are more caring, emotional and compassionate than many other women. Likewise, we come across women who are far more daring, authoritative or competent than their male counterparts. Each of us is a pure conscient energy, soul in a physical costume. Man and woman is a different physical costume of the soul. On a journey of many births each of us has been in male and female costumes. Each soul has all the sanskars, its like a CD with many songs. Depending on the gender costume and social conditioning, we emerge those sanskars in one life time, which means we play those songs. Next life, different gender costume, we play different sanskars. But the soul CD has all the sanskars.


Each soul is a pure and powerful soul. Each soul has the sanskar of:

1. Nurturing and selfless caring

2. Being intuitive and analytical

3. Being soft to adjust, tolerate and strong to face.

4. Being gentle and adventurous


Each soul needs to emerge and use in every karma the sanskar of willpower, compassion, nurturing, self-confidence, fearlessness, dignity, respect and acceptance. We need to empower our self and then we have the power to empower others.

Message for the day


Tolerance brings stability.


Expression: 
When one is faced with defamation or is accused of something, tolerance gives the power to remain stable and calm. So there is the natural ability to smile even when there is negativity that comes. Tolerance brings the recognition of the actual situation and the ability to see beyond the insults. This is possible because of being in a state of self-respect constantly. 


Experience: When I am in my state of self-respect I am internally stable, whatever the situation outside may be. This is tolerance, which also brings humility. It is this humility that enables me to be a constant learner. So I find that in my stable state of mind, I am able to experience constant progress. Even insults do not stop me from moving forward.

Start Taking Care Of Your Mind - An Inner Factory Of Thoughts

Start Taking Care Of Your Mind - An Inner Factory Of Thoughts

Suppose we own a factory that manufactures 50,000 garments a day, it is not wise if only a fraction of them is useful while rest of them are of no use. Our mind which is our inner factory creates around 40,000 - 50,000 thoughts a day. Every thought has the potential to be transformed into a powerful force through words or actions. As owners of this inner factory, we need to ensure every thought is useful. Our life is a long chain of thoughts which come into words and behaviours. Just as a farmer thoroughly checks the quality of seeds before sowing them, we need to check our thoughts which are seeds that bear fruits as words and actions. In other words, we need to take ownership of our thought factory. 


1. Your every thought has 4 impacts – it creates your feeling, it affects every cell of your body, it reaches the person about whom you think, and it radiates into the environment. So, your thoughts are connected to your emotions, health, relationships and environment.


2. Observe your thoughts for a minute after every hour and classify them into 4 categories - Positive thoughts which are thoughts of peace, love, happiness and acceptance. Negative thoughts are of ego, hurt, anger, hatred or jealousy. Necessary thoughts are related to day to day activities, without the emotions of worry, irritation, fear or anxiety. Waste thoughts are about the past, future or about other people – all of which are not in our control.


3. The first stage to empower yourself is to create pure thoughts and good wishes for everyone. Study spiritual knowledge to slow down the mind and inculcate new ways of thinking in your subconscious mind. Every thought becomes a product of your spiritual charging, since information is the biggest source of your thoughts.

Message for the day


The breath of a true life is enthusiasm.


Expression: 
To live life, to live each moment with enthusiasm is to really live life. The quality of life, the quality of the work done, the quality of relationships, everything is enriched through enthusiasm. Where there is enthusiasm there is maximum recognition and usage of everything available. Enthusiasm spreads to others too, gives them the courage to do their best and enrich their lives. 


Experience: When I am enthusiastic, I am able to enjoy everything that comes my way. The biggest obstacle seems like a game for me, and I pass it by easily, without experiencing any difficulty. Confidence builds up in me and gives me the courage to be the best in all I do. I slowly increase my own potential and steadily move on towards success.
