Contemplation: Get Deep
Get Deep
Deep inside our consciousness is an oasis of
peace. This is the molten core of the soul, but it is not hot, it is cool. Not
passive, but a source of inner power to fuel our mind and intellect, so that we
can create powerful thoughts and make accurate decisions. If you can learn to
go to this centre, peace will be your companion, positivity your partner, and
you will be able to chill out in one second, anywhere, anytime. Returning to
the centre of your self is the journey of one second. It is the regular
destination of clever souls. And it is the source of your power and peace
To bring equality in
whatever I understand, desire and do is to be
truly successful.
Although my understanding of right and wrong is really good, I am not
usually able to be or feel successful. This is because I notice a
mismatch between what I know and what I want. So I am not able to
bring that knowledge into action. A conscious effort needs to be put
in from my side to compare and see which is better for me - what I
know is right or what I feel I want. When I compare in this way, I
will be able to change my desires in keeping with the right thing.
When these two match, I will be able to bring it into action too. So I
will be able to be successful.

Going Beyond Others’
Perception Of Us
Watch how many things you do during the day are dependent on how you imagine the other sees you: your husband, your friend, your child, your cousin, your aunt, your boss, the secretary or whoever. You imagine how they are going to look at you and, as a result, you mould yourself accordingly. If you depend on the look of the other, inwardly you will always feel fear. You want to please the other so that they continue to see you as you want.
Because of the dependence that we have on the other to appreciate us, value us and not to reject us, we want to please them. If, in spite of doing everything possible, they do not appreciate us or are not happy, how do we feel? Cheated. After having done everything out of wanting to please them! Inside, you want to please them because you want them to keep on loving you, or you don't want them to sack you from your job, or you are afraid of being different or not being accepted. That kind of dependency takes us away from our true authenticity. If you look at yourself well, in the end, others will look at you well and the one who does not look at you well will perhaps teach you something, but your value and self-esteem do not depend on the look of the other. In this state, you are open because you trust yourself and you have personal security.
The other entity can also be the Supreme Soul (God). We are afraid that God might judge us for being sinners or not. If I think God looks at me with that vision of whether I am a sinner, whether I am this or something else, I distance myself from Him. A judge like that does not help me to live with wholeness. In general, in society, there has been a distancing from the relationship and experience with God, because we have learned that He is a strict being and a judge. Actually, God is love; God looks at me well and sees my potential and my beauty (which reflects His), God embraces me and, in this embrace, He frees me: He does not allow me to depend on Him?

Where there is courage there is success.
Projection: When we are involved in a task, we sometimes experience setbacks. Such setbacks often make us lose our confidence and we no longer have faith that we will succeed in the task. We then lose all courage to go ahead with the task and lose every chance of achieving what we have to.
Solution: We need to remind ourselves that we achieve success to the extent that we have courage. We need to make effort to maintain our courage even during the most difficult circumstances. Only when we do this will we continue to put in effort, which will bring us success at the right time.
