Expecting Others to Change?

Instead of expecting others to change, be compassionate in understanding others and understanding the situation.
Your compassion may inspire the person to change for the better.

A Message From God (Part 1)

We all talk to God … in our prayers … hymns … and rituals. We thank Him for everything He has given us … we praise Him for His powers … we ask Him for help … we ask Him to forgive us for our sins … we talk to Him everyday … but have we paused to listen to what He has to say to us.  This message from God can connect you to the one you have been looking for … can give you all that you ever wanted … let’s listen to Him …

- My sweetest children, you have forgotten me, because we haven’t met since a very long time. You have all heard about me, read about me. But now the time has come for me to talk to you directly, to tell you the truth you have been looking for. Before I tell you about myself, let me remind you about yourself. Sweet children, you are not who you think you are – name, religion, profession, relationship … you are not even this body which you see. You are a pure conscient being, a tiny point of light, a soul which uses the body to play many roles. You are a pure, peaceful, loveful, powerful soul.

Around 5000 years ago, you all lived with me in our home … the soul world … a land of complete silence and purity. But you, my sweet children, had to play your role on this earth, for which you left me and your home and came into this world. When you came to this world you were complete, perfect and divine. Each of you got a perfect costume to wear and this world was a perfect world … a world of divinity, love and prosperity, called Paradise, Heaven, Swarg, Jannat, Bahist … When your body would get old, you would just change and wear a new costume and continue to play your role. More and more children from home joined you in this world. You all were enjoying this world of happiness for about 2500 years, called the Golden Age (Satyuga) and Silver Age (Tretayuga).

(To be continued tomorrow …)

The sign of truth is having good manners. 

If you have the power of truth, you should never leave your good manners behind. You may prove the truth, but do it with good manners.

The sign of good manners is humility and the sign of a lack of good manners is being stubborn. 

When your words and activity are based on good manners, you will receive success.

Message for the day

True courage brings benefit to the self as well as to others. 

Expression: When there is fear, there is some kind of danger, either for the self or for others. The one who fears, or the one who doesn't have the courage to accept and face situations, is not able to bring out the best form within himself. Such a person is constantly thinking of excuses and is trying to blame others for the mistakes that happen. 

Experience: With courage, if I am able to take up responsibility for every situation that I am faced with, I am able to be free from worry or tension. I will then be in a position to learn and so I find progress at every step in my life. I find others giving me a lot of good wishes for my sincerity. I also become an inspiration for all others too to bring about a positive change.
