A true diamond reveals its sparkle wherever it is.

Message for the day 20-10-2015

Expression: Sometimes, we tend to get affected by the negativity of the situation. We then lose touch with our inner qualities. But reminding myself that I am like a true diamond keeps me free from negative influences. I then continue to sparkle with my inner qualities wherever I am. I can thus help get in touch with their qualities too. 

Experience: Today I will smile at myself and be proud of what I am. I will remind myself that I am the true diamond who can never lose the sparkle of my inner qualities and happiness where ever I am. This practice will help me be prepared to deal with the variety of situations that life brings my way. 

Soul Sustenance 20-10-2015 Be The Change That God Wants To See (Part 1) Starting a journey of a loveful connection with God brings with it, along with the love and care experienced from God, a lot of sacrifice and discipline. This is because God is not only an Ocean of Love but also a watchful parent who expects His children to not only take love and belongingness from Him but also give Him a return of the love. When we see physical parents, no matter how big the child becomes, the parents always expect their children to be like them and also follow them completely and be good and clean human beings. In the same way, God, the spiritual parent, has His own way of defining what is right and wrong and how we should make the right a part of our lives and keep the wrong away which can harm us on a spiritual level. Remember God’s personality is not like us but it stands at a higher level, to reach which, we have to stand tall and upright and let go of not only our ego but also our rigid beliefs of a very long time.  So, to reach God and be with Him up there, which means have a personality like Him, we have to listen to His every word and every instruction and change our old ways of thinking instead of being stubborn and continuing with our old habits, which do not go away easily. There are some who promise God their love but when it comes to following in His footsteps, they are not as faithful and trustworthy as God expects them to be. So, what does one call such children? Unfaithful – we cannot call them that because they love God a lot and also like changing themselves as per God’s desire, but not to the extent which God wants them to. As a result they are seen as semi-faithful because they are loveful and loyal to God but lack the determination and power to bring significant shifts in their thinking and become soul conscious, completely pure and egoless, which are the three primary qualities to reach upto God and stand as tall as Him.
