Self esteem is the foundation of our self
confidence and self motivation. Self esteem is how we feel about ourselves at
any given moment. Almost everyone of us has been taught to build our self
esteem on the wrong foundations. We build it on something external instead of
something internal. We are taught to connect it to our position, material
possessions and pay, and by how much regard we receive from others. This is why
we very rarely meet people who have rock solid self esteem. Most of us learn
how to hide our delicate self-esteem. Finally the disguise (cover up) tires us
completely and we surrender to the tension.
Each and every one of us will have
to go back to school to learn this inner lesson and find our true inner
strength. Life gives us many signals and offers many opportunities to do this,
but most of us either avoid the message or shoot the messenger, preferring to
live with the tension and keep up the deception (cover up).
Is The Supreme Soul (God) Really Omnipresent
(present everywhere)? cont.
If the Supreme Soul (God) were omnipresent there
would be no need for knowledge and no need to search for peace. The One who is
the ocean of peace and the ocean of knowledge would be everywhere. Perhaps the
strongest point against the idea of literal omnipresence is the point of
relationship. In the heart of every soul – there is a distinct memory - I am
the child, God is my Father. If God is omnipresent, does that mean that the
Father is present inside the child?
God is also the supreme teacher, guide, liberator,
friend and purifier of human souls. That is why everyone turns their thoughts
to Him in their hours of sorrow. The idea that God is omnipresent is indeed the
ultimate excuse and greatest escape from responsibility of the mistakes that
human souls have made and continue to make. After all, if God were omnipresent
(present in everyone) He would be responsible for good as well as evil karmas
that humans commit. An omnipresent God implies that we have nothing to complete
in ourselves for we are already God. Am I really God? One could not seriously
admit to such a claim. It is only through deep and concentrated meditation that
one can enter the spiritual dimension where His presence is truly felt.
Message for the day
Patience enables one to easily overcome
obstacles.
Projection:
Usually, when faced with obstacles there is an
urgency to remove it without any proper planning. That means we want to
overcome the obstacle without putting in any effort. And when it is not
possible, it tends to create impatience and frustration in us.
Solution:
It is important to do some internal work to
overcome an obstacle. First, it is good to check to what extent there is faith
in the self. With faith in ourselves, we need to plan out before we act to
remove or overcome the obstacle and we will, then, find ourselves successful.
