When you look at the world through your physical eyes, you will see all the facets of our diversity: culture, race, personality, religion, and so on. Seeing only through your physical eyes, it is easy to become stubborn and try to prove yourself right. However, where there is stubbornness, there is no love. And trying to prove the self right is equally offensive.
A diamond will sparkle even in the dust; you do not ever need to prove that you are right. In the face of the dangers that come from seeing only with the physical eyes, always think: now is the time to go beyond all divisions, beyond all that limits us and our sense of self. Whatever the race, religion, or class, our consciousness now has to go beyond that.
Meditate: What is the best time?
There is no time like the present. The present provides opportunities for improvement because whatever step we make will either take us up or down, forward or backward. The present gives us a chance to lay a brick for the future. The past cannot change, but the present brings with it the time to change, build and improve — time to fill ourselves in the areas we are lacking. As the scene of life’s Drama brings gifts with it, we must look for presents in the present. They are present, easily visible in light and easy scenes but cleverly hidden in dramatic scenes. To develop the habit of letting the present become the past without finding the gifts it has brought is to be a loser.
Meditation & Experiencing Deep Peace
Consider your mind as a stage, and each thought, feeling, and emotion as a scene in the film of your life… Relax… Don’t try to control anything… Observe how your thoughts pass through your mind… Don’t identify with any of them… Only observe… Look where they take you… Observe what happens inside you… Do not judge… The thoughts flow through your mind as if they were clouds that are crossing the sky until everything is clear and open… The mind is becoming calm, making itself peaceful… like the surface of the sea when it is serene…
Now, be conscious of the sounds that are produced around you… Stay here and now as an observer who sees and feels everything from the point of light, calm, and peace behind these eyes… Feel the calm… the tranquility… that comes from within you… Look around you… Observe without interpreting or judging… Feel the silence that is created through the power of concentration. Consciously, create a positive, peaceful, elevated thought that you repeat slowly in your mind, leaving a space of silence between one thought and another while you keep the focus on that point…
I am a being of peace… I am at peace… I feel the peace… I am light… I am a being of light… My nature is of light… peace, and silence… I am feeling the silence between one thought and the next… I listen to the peace… a silent peace… calmed… full… This peace and silence attract the ocean of peace… I feel the attraction towards my home of silence and peace… a world full of soft golden light, beyond the sun, moon, and stars… In this peace and silence, I strengthen myself… my mind rests in that calm and quietness…
I experience a light, the Supreme Light, the Supreme Soul who fills me… he recharges me… renews me… heals me… frees me… I am free… completely free… now I am at peace… I leave my mind in silence as if I were floating on a sea of peace for a few minutes…
Message for the day
To see only problems is to become the one who only takes service.
What it tells you: When there is the practice of seeing only problems in all situations, there is the inability to find solutions and act effectively. All the resources that could be used for the benefit of the self and others remain hidden. Such a person becomes dependent on others to find solutions and a source of pity.
What you should experience: When I am caught up with problems and unable to see anything else, I cannot experience progress. I find myself moving backward, losing a lot of things I have. I would not be able to retain my self-confidence and would become dependent on others.
