Cultivate Silence
Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas - silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which come all your thoughts is silence. The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today.relax7
Where there is love, the hardest task becomes easy to perform.
If something is difficult, it means there is no love. Where there is love, even a task as difficult and big as a mountain becomes as easy and light as cotton. Love makes work easier and lighter. Today is the day to love your work. Whatever you are doing, remember that you love your work. Experiment with one thing that you have been finding it difficult to do with a reminder to yourself that you love it.
The Functioning Of My Internal Processor
The body consists of physical limbs to move around and carry out its tasks in the physical world. So too, the soul has the subtle limbs - the limb possessing the power to think (mind), the limb possessing the power to reason and make decisions (intellect) and limb of its own unique personality. These three subtle limbs are used to maneuver, control and carry out tasks in the inner subtle (non-physical) world of thoughts, feelings, emotions, decisions, mental images and nature characteristics (or commonly called habits). I need to understand completely how these limbs work individually and also how they function together in conjunction as a team. This understanding helps me immensely in putting my personal mental and emotional world in order.
If the processor of my computer develops a problem, my computer comes to a standstill. I will be able to fix it only if I know how it works. In the same way, I have an internal processor which has three processes going on inside it continuously right through the day - the processes of thinking (mind), deciding(intellect) and becoming (sanskaras) - which affect my complete functioning as a human being. Only if I understand completely the functioning of this internal processor, can I start to correct myself and function well.

Understanding The Quality of Peace (cont.)
To experience true inner peace take the following thoughts into your mind. Then experience each thought by holding it in your awareness.
Let us now move away from the demands and the needs of our noisy world, and slip into our inner world, into the quiet, still room of the mind........
It is a place, a space of calm, stillness and peace........
Here, I can let go of my concerns, worries and constant fears........
In this dimension of silence, in this plain of peace, voices grow distant (faraway) and quiet........
And in this arena (space) of inner calm and soft peacefulness, my racing thoughts begin to slow down, begin to lose momentum and are absorbed into that inner peace........
I am surrounded by silence, by peace........
And that soft vibration soothes (relaxes) my mind and calms my thoughts and I am held in that spell of tranquility (peacefulness)........
I bath in the inner light of the inner self........
And I float and drift in this sea of silence, in this sea of peace........
For here the waves of the world cannot come and I feel light and free and calm........

Message for the day
Our words are effective only when we combine them with pure thoughts and inspirational actions.
Expression: As soon as we find someone's mistake it is natural for us to give correction through our words. We tend to explain to others using a lot of words. Yet we find that inspite of saying the right thing we are not being listened to and our words are just wasted away. We don't understand at such times where the problem lies.
Experience: To enable our corrections to others to be effective, we have to combine our thoughts, words and actions. There need to be good wishes in our thoughts which also brings sweetness in our words. We also need to take care that we are putting into action all that we are talking. When we do this we will find that our words are really effective.
