Message for the day 16-06-2011
----------------------------------------------------------
Tolerance is to be in the natural stage of self-respect
Projection: When there is appreciation for the self there will be self-respect.
And where there is true self-respect there will be no ego or arrogance of the
special qualities in oneself.
Solution: Let me think of one aspect in myself which I think is my speciality. I
then need to make the practice of reminding myself of this speciality. When I
increase my self-respect in this way based on my speciality, I'll find my power
of tolerance increasing too.

Improving The Quality Of Different Areas Of My 'Karmas' (cont.)
Karmas performed for the self
If I, the soul, am the master of my body, then I have to look after its upkeep.
The consciousness with which I feed and take care of the body has to be such
that my actions don't bring me into further attachment to it. They have to be of
such quality that they bring me closer to God and help to reduce my bodily ego
or the pull towards physical desires. I have to work, cook, feed and wash the
body but these activities can be done in such a way that they bring me closer to
my destination of perfection, of freedom and of liberation.
Karmas in our relationships
There is specific energy that drives all relationships - that of credit and
debit, give and take. These are the so called karmic accounts that have been
created in the past (either in this birth or previous births) and which now
determine the quality and quantity of all our interactions and their results, in
terms of joy or sorrow, in all our relationships. It's not necessary to find out
exactly what the karmic root cause of a problem in a relationship may have been.
A very simple guideline to improve the quality of our interactions is:
Rather than take, let me give, so there won't be any further debts. Whether it
is colleagues at work, family relationships or friends, let me see if there is a
way in which I can fulfill my responsibility with integrity and honesty. If I am
not doing that, if I am moving away from my responsibilities, I am adding to my
karmic burden. In what way can I give or serve, so that there is no longer
conflict, tension and struggle but just sweetness and respect in my
relationships?
