Spiritual Steps To Protect The World From Cancer

Cancer continues to pose a big challenge in the world today with millions of new cases every year and a high death rate. The pain and suffering that many cancer patients go through is making the illness more dangerous day by day. Inspite of the best of health care, we have not been able to prevent this illness from occurring in human bodies although we do have sophisticated treatment available. How can we help the world in dealing with cancer? Let's look at a few spiritual steps:

1. Everyday in your consciousness keep a positive thought - I am an angel for this world. I am an instrument to radiate compassion, care and strength to each and every soul who has experienced cancer in this world and provide them my support who are all my brothers and sisters.

2. Create awareness of prevention is better than cure. Today I need to create the importance of leading a stress free life all over the world. Everyone I meet, I need to share the technique of meditation as a key to freedom from stress, which is one of the important causes of cancer.

3. I also need to become an example for others, by taking care of my physical body and following a diet of vegetarian meals cooked in God's remembrance which are good for the mind and body, adequate sleep, exercise and peaceful relaxation. Others who know me and interact with me everyday will be inspired to do the same and prevent cancer from occurring.

4. Wisdom of the soul and God and their qualities is today required very deeply to fight all challenges in life, including cancer. Also, the deep realization of the Law of Karma is extremely important in facing and in experiencing stability in one of the biggest obstacles in the world today, which is cancer. The Brahma Kumaris provides this wisdom in its courses and also has a beautiful technique of Rajyoga meditation, which millions of people are learning at its centres all over the world and practicing daily in their personal and professional lives.

Message for the day

True effort lies in maintaining inner self-respect.

Expression: When there is no self-respect it becomes difficult to recognise and use one's own potentials. So whatever little effort is put is only to show off to others and to seek their approval. So this further increases such dependency on others. Slowly all effort put in is only to prove to others and hardly any effort is put in for the self. So such effort doesn't contribute to real progress.

Experience: When there is an awareness of my inner potentials and capabilities, and I am in my state of self-respect, I am able to use them for my own progress. As there is the satisfaction of my progress, there is no dependency on the others for approval or encouragement. I can make effort with my inner freedom. There is lightness and enjoyment in whatever I set out to do, and I find quick and easy change.
