Reflection (thinking deeply) is a necessary step
in digesting knowledge.
Reflection is an exercise of the mind and
intellect that goes into the depths of understanding an idea, or realization,
or point of knowledge with the aim of practicing it in daily life.
Values in my life are a sign that knowledge has
been digested; without this, knowledge simply remains a beautiful aspect,
appreciated, interesting information in my intellect but without the ability to
give me strength because it is still external; it has not been internalised.
All quality action (quality action is that action
which is truly appropriate to person, circumstance and the need of the moment),
all newness of perception (understanding), all new insights, or vision, require
a space for silent reflection as a preliminary step.
Normally, we are lost in the business of action,
its routine and ritual that make our life so mechanical and hence dull and
boring, or demanding and hectic.
A mind and intellect that do not give time and
attention to reflective silence (meditation) become lazy, though externally
there is lots of activity for hours and hours. No new heights are reached
because there is no depth of awareness in what we are doing, no reflection on
purpose. As a result, we get trapped by routine.
To break free from this force, to relieve the
mind of the weight of stress and waste and routine, I need to step inside and
reflect (think) on who I am and where I am going and reassess my value system.
Reflection and taking time to understand
spiritual knowledge bring us to the essence of everything.
The Fifth Phase/Age Of Humanity (cont.)
When we see and realize the significance of this
current Age, the fifth Age or the Confluence Age (‘Sangamyug’), we also find
greater clarity in our life's purpose. It becomes obvious that the world will
not become a better place through more resistance or conflict; this only adds
to the sum of fear and anger in the world. To fight for peace is a false belief
which has taken over the human mind. To think that peace comes from conflict,
or that conflict is necessary to achieve peace, is to think right comes from
wrong. Deep change is an incognito process (process which cannot be seen)
within individual souls. Through meditation or ‘yoga’ (union), we awaken and
restore our true, peaceful selves; we absorb the light of truth and love from
the Supreme and we are spiritually empowered. This we can then share with
others. As we radiate our spiritual energy and reflect the light of God into
the world in gentle and humble ways, the effects of our self-change reach out
to other souls as an invitation to do the same.
The nagging questions which must enter most
minds at least once in a lifetime (such as ''Why me?", "Why
here?" and "Why now?") are answered - our highest purpose is to
help others know themselves as they truly are i.e. souls and to help in
reconnecting them to the Supreme. This is why simply sitting in meditation,
generating and radiating vibrations which are peaceful and loving, can help to
heal others and the world itself. That is our primary responsibility at the
Confluence Age. When we take up this responsibility we assist the Supreme in
his task at the Confluence Age, i.e. bringing about the Golden Age.
Message for the day
To be powerful is to fly easily over the biggest
obstacle.
Projection:
When there is an awareness of the inner
strength, difficult circumstances seem very easy to cross over. Nothing seems
difficult or as a big obstacle, but the inner strength gives the power to very
easily and quickly cross over all difficult and challenging situations.
Solution:
When I have the power to fly, i.e., to go above
the situations, I do not feel the bondage of the situation. So when I am up
above everything down below (even the biggest mountain) seems very tiny and
insignificant. So there is quick and steady progress experienced even when
there are difficult situations in my life.
