Practice Gratitude
The intention and the
action of gratitude is the inner symphony of the heart. It opens to sing with
thanks for the smallest of things. To hear a bird sing, to see a child laugh,
to receive a friend's affection - are all invitations to practise the attitude
of gratitude. Gratitude is the kind of loving thanks which touches another's
heart in a place where they will allow you to reside for a long time.

Consider yourself on the
world stage and your every act will become special.
Check all the actions
that you perform throughout the day. Are your actions such that others will be
inspired by you or are they just wasteful and ordinary? Make the practice firm,
" I am on this world stage, each and every action that I perform is being
watched by many and will inspire them." when you have this practice you
will have attention on your actions and they will become special.
Anger Management And Prevention
As you increase your self-awareness, you will also see how your anger begins with a moment of irritation towards a person or situation. If you then give attention to that irritation by replaying or revising the event in your mind, which is like giving water to a plant, it will grow into frustration. And if you water the frustration, it will grow into anger, which, in turn, will develop into rage.
Don't suppress and don't express your anger. What's left? Transform (change). The transformation of anger requires you to realize the root cause of your emotional pain. The realization comes by understanding deeply the self or the soul. When you see the cause it gives you a choice a) to stop creating it or b) continue creating it. Unfortunately, although many see why they cause their own anger and acknowledge responsibility for their creation, they continue to keep getting angry. They find many ways of justifying their anger. They have an 'anger addiction'. They are angerholics.
Are you ready to see the root cause? Do you want to make new choices? Isn't it time to break your emotional addiction?
Soul Sustenance
Pure Cooking (cont.)
1. First, it is essential to develop a positive attitude towards cooking. Before undertaking any food preparation, ask yourself. 'Do you consider the project at hand to be an enjoyable, creative activity or an unpleasant time-consuming boring, repetitive karma?’ Find a way of enjoying it, by playing spiritual songs or trying new recipes and having deep meditation while cooking.
2. Before cooking, make sure the kitchen is clean and in order. Take out all the things you will need to make the meal and place them where they will be used. This makes the process of cooking more smooth and enjoyable.
3. While cooking avoid doing other work in between. You will actually be saving time and the food will definitely turn out better.
4. As much as possible, remain in silence, paying attention to the quality of the thoughts you have. Try to have pure and peaceful thoughts. This creates a powerful atmosphere that fills the food with pure vibrations and brings personal benefits as well.

Message for the day
To be obedient to God
means to have a right to His inheritance.
Projection: We sometimes find ourselves feeling low and unenthusiastic. We tend to blame the situations and the people around which makes us feel even more dull. At such times we expect and seek God's help and power but experience no help from him.
Solution: We need to realise that we don't have to ask God for power or blessings but have a right to them. Before we perform any task we need to ask ourselves if God will like what we are doing. If we do everything according to God's wishes that means we are obedient. Such obedience will get us the inheritance of peace and happiness from God.
