Mindset Of Surviving Or A Mindset Of Serving

Mindset Of Surviving Or A Mindset Of Serving

We live by the philosophy of Survival of the fittest, which makes life a struggle. Spirituality teaches us that the one who serves is the fittest. We are taught in the world that service to humanity is service to God. We are also taught survival of the fittest. This belief made us compete with people rather than serving them.


1. Our original nature is to be generous. The more we give, the stronger we become. If we believe that only the fittest survive, we go into the taking mode and we develop a sense of competition and desire to overpower others. 


2. Our mindset of survival is a barrier to our nature of service. We thought the more we accumulate, the more successful we will be, the more satisfied we will be. We have accumulated a lot physically today, but we feel hollow within, because of the void created by going against our nature of serving.


3. Meditate daily and fill yourself to nurture qualities of sharing, caring and co-operation. You will find ways to serve not just materially, but also emotionally – just with your vibrations of peace, love and joy.


4. Serving does not mean you suppress your aspirations and give away what you have. Set goals, earn money, enjoy comforts and achieve everything you can - without competing. Co-operate and empower people along the way.

Message for the day


Forgiveness means to forget the mistakes of others.


Expression: The one who is able to forgive is able to forget the mistakes in his future interactions even after noticing the mistakes of others. He is able to be loving and so he is able to give corrections with love. Only when there is love in one's interactions, will the corrections given will be effective. Also such a person will not be caught up with anyone's mistakes and will be free from attitudes.


Experience: Even if there is a temporary feeling of negativity, if I am able to forget the mistakes of others and forgive them, I am able to be free from negative feelings. I am able to be light and free from the burdens of the past interactions with them. So I find myself successfully able to deal with others, whoever they may be.
