Contemplation:Tolerance
Tolerance
You have the
power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering
in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and
giving a gift to whomever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention,
understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also
receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own
self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into
strength.
The one who is free from desire is the one
who is able to maintain
positivity.
When I put forth my ideas to others I expect them to listen to me. My
idea changes to desire and when it is not accepted I then tend to
become irritated. And along with it also comes jealousy or dislike
for the others and I find myself caught up in negativity. I need to
make sure that I share my ideas with others but at the same time I
need to keep myself free from any selfish motive. When I put forth my
idea in a detached way, I too will be open to learning and I will be
able to accept any criticism or rejectance that comes my way. Thus I
will be free from negativity.

Meditation - A Process Of Cleansing, Dialogue And Joining
Meditation can be defined as a process of cleansing, a process of dialogue and a process of joining. Today we take up:
Cleansing
Meditation is a useful method to help human beings redirect their life positively and healthily, and to achieve inner stability. The word meditation comes from the Latin word mederi, which means cure. Curing the inner self is not a matter of taking medicines, but it involves re-establishing the balance through knowing oneself, having the correct attitudes and making the correct use of mental and emotional energy.
In meditation, we learn to observe our inner self and recover the resources that can cleanse (heal) and harmonize us: peace, love, truth, wisdom, purity and happiness. Through concentrated thought we learn to let these positive and pure energies manifest (show) themselves in our conscience and in our day-to-day actions.
(To be continued tomorrow….)
Message for the day
When there is positivity within, nothing negative can disturb us.
Projection: When we have negative thoughts, we usually blame the people around us, or the situations. We give justification for our thoughts and behaviour and so make no attempt to change them. And we constantly find ourselves disturbed by all that happens.
Solution: In the most negative situation we must have the practice of finding something positive. This will enable us to maintain our positive thoughts and keep us open to learning from every situation that comes our way.
