Contemplation: April 01, 2020: Overcoming Obstacles
Overcoming Obstacles
Obstacles are like mountains. When you look up at the mountain from the valley, it seems so big and difficult to climb.
Instead of looking at obstacles from below, try taking an eagle's eye view.
From this viewpoint, you can take in the whole picture, see where you are and come up with a strategy to overcome the obstacle.
Don't be overwhelmed by the mountains, just remember obstacles are hurdles for you to fly over.
Receiving The Gifts Of God (Part 1)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to come face-to-face with the highest authority in the universe, to have a meeting of a few seconds or a few minutes or a few hours with God, the ocean of knowledge, the ocean of love, the ocean of power and the ocean of bliss? In this message series, we would like to present in front of you, with a humble heart, an attitude of obedient service and a sweet, pure intention of sharing, our collective experiences of such meetings in our daily lives.
Have you ever imagined that you can tie God with the strings of love to your heart i.e. you were to come so close to him whereby he would be just like any other person in your life, someone with whom you can discuss just about anything that you wished, someone whom you could confide in, someone whom you can give your heart to, someone from whom you can receive helpful friendly responses when you are faced with difficulties, someone whom you can call out to with the voice of your heart and receive the gift of his company in less than a second, someone whom you can receive sustenance from just like physical parents give to their children, someone from whom you can receive secrets of living life the right way and be free from confusion, someone whom you can dance in joy with when he showers your life with success, someone who fills your intellect and nature with thousands of virtues and powers, someone whose angelic hands you experience on your head while performing the most routine actions of the day, someone who offers you the fortune to help him in his task of world transformation?
This is the beautiful blessing to the present moments in the history of humanity, also called the most auspicious and most valuable Confluence Age (or Sangamyuga), between the Iron Age (or Kaliyuga) and the future Golden Age (or Satyuga), when God is distributing the gifts of his beautiful company and offering the canopy of his love to all his children, the lucky soul-stars of the Earth.
(To be continued tomorrow …)
Where there is true respect there is humility.
The more respect is measured on the basis of something external, the greater the desire for recognition from others. The greater the desire, the more one falls victim to ego and there cannot be humility. Start the day with a thought that brings self-respect. Tell yourself that you are special and you will use your speciality throughout the day. You will not dominate or limit the freedom of anyone.
Message for the day
To do what is right for all is to remain happy.
Expression: The one who is always concerned for others is the one who can do right for others. There is constant benefit for others merged in every action of such a person. Because of having given without expectation, there is happiness in everything that is done. There is also uniqueness and speciality revealed in every action.
Experience: I experience double benefit, because there is happiness in the effort as well as in the result of that effort. There is constant success experienced by me. I am also able to receive the good wishes and blessings from others and I further get encouraged to use my speciality. So I constantly experience progress in my life.
In Spiritual Service,
