Humility

Humility




 Real humility is rare because to have it you have to want nothing, yet when you have it you get everything.

The Difference of "I"

There is only the difference of the letter "i" between the words
'bliss' and 'bless'. When we stay in bliss then we naturally
draw the blessings of others. We don't need to ask for the blessings,
they just come. However, if our nature is even slightly sensitive we
will either clash with others or get caught up in them. Clashing and
getting caught makes the soul distressed and tired. Become free of
these and you will feel that your hands are no longer tied and so you
can give. Those who are free can become 'phool' (flowers). When we
are not free we either prick others or we get pricked by others. 


Message

When there is equality in what we understand, desire and do, there is success. 

Projection: We usually recognize the need to bring about a change in ourselves from the signals we get from different situations. We also feel strongly that we have to change, but most times we find ourselves not taking into action and our change is limited only to understanding and having a desire. 


 

Solution: As soon as we understand that we have to change, we have to work at bringing about a change in ourselves immediately. We need to tell ourselves that there is no better time than now when we can bring about a change. We, then, find ourselves successful in all we do.

Humility

Humility




Humility
Humility dismisses nothing; rather, it takes even small things into consideration. It recognises that whatever life presents, needs to be respected. Small things are easily found in something big, but inside little things there is often greatness.


Solving a Problem
Many times with good intention of solving a problem, you become a part
of the problem. In order to accept the problem it is more practical
firstly to remain silent and serene. It is not always necessary to
understand causes but to find solutions. Observe and reflect in
silence and then make a decision.

The Evolution Of Anger

We become a little irritated when we are stuck in a traffic jam and we getting late to reach somewhere on time, or we are not going to complete a particular task, as per our expectations or if someone whom we very well know decides to ignore us today, for some reason or the other. If this seed of irritation is watered, or in other words it is given the concentrated energy of our attention i.e. we continue with the irritation for some time, it slowly grows or evolves into frustration. Unless we take some constructive inner action to stop the growth of the frustration and we keep energizing it, it will grow or evolve into anger. And if this happens regularly and we are not careful, it will become a habit, a part of our personality, which we will finally come to believe is a natural part of your nature. We will even think we were born with it. That it is ‘in our genes’. Every time we become angry we cause the production of certain chemicals in our body and we also become addicted to those chemicals – then we look for people and situations which will give us an excuse to get angry so that we can have our daily dose of chemicals. We not only become attached to material objects, people, ways of thinking, beliefs etc. - we also become attached to our emotions like the emotion of anger. The regular secretion of these chemicals will finally kill our body. We don’t need to kill our body. We need to accept that anger is never ever productive, know that it is just not necessary to be angry with anyone or about anything, know that it is entirely our own creation and know that we can choose a different response. If we know and accept that, we will experience freedom from it.


Message

When our vision is on our aim, we will continue to progress.
Projection: Sometimes as we move along we suddenly stop. We no more find the progress that should be there in our life. At such times we don't really understand what the reason is. We do try to bring about changes but it doesn't always work and we find ourselves stagnating.

Solution: When on a journey, we are sure to come across many scenes that are beautiful or distracting. But when we know where we have to go we will never be distracted but will move on appreciating each scene that comes our way. In life too, when we are faced with a situation that is not in keeping with our aim we need to pay special attention not to get carried away with such side-scenes
