Contemplation:Silence
 Silence
There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. It is
untouched by the less than perfect characteristics you've acquired by living
in a less than perfect world.
It is filled with divine qualities, so is in a constant state of
resourcefulness and well-being. It's total absence of conflict and negativity
of any sort makes this part of you a Still-Point...a deep, enriching
experience of Silence.
Make time to practice reaching this inner place of Silence. It will bring you
untold benefit.

To
be successful I need to have the balance between the head and the
heart.
In my interactions with others, I sometimes only use my head, i.e., my
logic. I am very logical and understand the facts very clearly. But
if I keep myself limited only to the facts, I tend to forget to use my
heart. I then am not available to the other person and fail to
understand him. In order to be successful in my interactions with
others I need to have the right balance between my head and my heart.
I need to see beyond what the facts say and try to listen and
understand the other person too. When I do this I will not hurt
people with my attitude but will be able to maintain harmonious
relationships.

The
one who fulfills promises with determination is the one who
overcome all problems.
When I see some weakness working within me I usually make a promise to
myself with a lot of enthusiasm. But if I face even a little
opposition or difficulty in fulfilling this promise, I tend to lose
hope and usually give up trying altogether. In order to bring about a
change in me and fulfill my promise, I need to use the virtue of
determination. Every time I find myself becoming careless in it, I
need to remind myself strongly of the importance of the promise that I
had made. Then I will be able to win over all the obstacles that come
my way in bringing my thoughts and words to actions.

Meditation - A Process Of Cleansing, Dialogue And Joining (cont.)
Meditation can be defined as a process of cleansing, a process of dialogue and a process of joining. Today we take up:
Dialogue
In Greek, the word meditation is translated as dialogismos, from which comes the English word dialogue. Meditation is a dialogue with oneself, with the true self; a very necessary process for developing self-knowledge and accumulating inner strength.
The basis of spiritual dialogue with oneself is introspection. Introspection is the ability to examine and change oneself, as one wants to or should do. Without a consistent re-evaluation of our attitudes and thought models, negative habits easily dominate our consciousness. A healthy dialogue with our inner selves means that we interact positively with others, without being trapped or lost in ourselves. Introspection involves being an observer: observing and not reacting to situations or people with negative emotions such as anger, hate, fear, resentment and jealousy. Being detached observers helps us conserve our inner energy and keeps us spiritually, mentally and emotionally healthy.

Message for the day
The method to finish all labouring is to do everything with love.
Projection: Throughout the day we find ourselves doing several things which we don't like. As soon as the thought of such a task comes in our mind we tend to feel heavy which makes even the simplest thing seem very difficult.
Solution: Before we are going to start some task which we don't like we need to train ourselves to think of something positive in it. When we train ourselves to love the task we will be able to do it with lightness.
