Attachment

The root of suffering is attachment. 

You have created a space in your mind that holds a person or object as part of you. 

When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not with you, you feel pain in your mind and you experience a sense of loss. 

If you want to be happy, you must learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent.

Thinking About Peace

You become whatever you think about deeply. 

Think only about peace, love and happiness. 

Feel these values as part of your life and you will become them.

Hear No Evil …

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, think no evil. 

Don’t engage yourself in thinking about others because of jealousy. 

If anyone tells you wrong things about others, then hear but don’t hear.

Peaceful Soul

Always maintain the awareness- I am a peaceful soul, and allow peace to influence your thinking and judgement.

The Game of Life

By seeing life as a game, your lightness of spirit will make problems seem easier.

Understanding

A big-hearted soul does not sentence others on the basis of a single act, but appreciates others through understanding their entire journey.

A Language Of Trust

To create the future we desire we need a spiritual language; we must speak from the heart and in the language of the soul – a language of trust, faith and higher values, of inner growth, love and listening.

Give Happiness

Give happiness and you will receive happiness. 

Give peace and you will feel peaceful. 

Give sorrow and you will get sorrow in return. 

Create thoughts and words that give only peace and happiness. 

The world is filled with worry and sorrow. 

Do something different.

True Happiness

True happiness comes when my mind and the senses have become quiet and peaceful. 

In that state, there is spiritual power; we are performing actions, but free from desires and free from attachment to what we do. 

Such happiness finishes any sorrow that comes to us.

Natural Flexibility

With humility and love, flexibility becomes natural. 

When I come across someone who is not being co-operative I need to become humble and try to understand what the other person is communicating, if not through words at least through actions.

Your Qualities

The more you appreciate your own qualities the stronger they will become.

Giving

With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity. 

With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny. 

With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. 

The saying, "What we give is what we receive". 

The lesson: We are here Just to give. World will always remember you by what you Gave!

Connecting With Others

We are normally kind to people who are kind to us. 

But when someone is not behaving well, we tend to change our attitude, response and behaviour toward that person. 

We wait for the other person to change before changing ourselves. 

So we do not find change in others nor in ourselves.

Diamond Consciousness

When you look at the world through your physical eyes, you will see all the facets of our diversity: culture, race, personality, religion and so on. 

Seeing only through your physical eyes, it is easy to become stubborn and to try to prove yourself right. 

However where there is stubbornness there is no love. 

And trying to prove the self right is equally offensive.

Lotus Life

The lotus is a symbol of purity.

Its roots are in the mud, but the flower remains above dirty water. 

Live a lotus life. 

Be in the world, but unaffected by impurities.

Clean and Tidy

The most important places to keep clean and tidy are my mind and heart. 

If I allow thoughts to flourish that I wouldn’t want to see the light of day, I can never have any real self-respect.

All We Need Is Love

Everyone looks outside for everything, including love. 

Love is all that everyone wants. 

Their purpose in life is love; to love someone, to be loved, to love their car, to love their dog, to love their garden etc. 

But all these types of love are perishable and are destined to fade away. 

The love we really want is within us all the time. 

When we feel love, where is the love coming from? 

It is within us, that’s because we are love. 

So I need to sit in silence and get to know myself again, because when I get to know my true self I will find out that I am love. 

I don’t need to look for it outside. 

I have an imperishable supply of the most sweetest love possible within me.

Charity

To give happiness to others is a great act of charity.

Positivity

If my mind is still enough, I can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. 

No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if I remain positive eventually I will see how everything has worked out for the best.

Material Wealth

Many believe that happiness is achieved through material wealth. 

It is true that gives a temporary sense of well-being.

Reduce Problems

Reduce your desires and your problems will be reduced.

Tolerance

Tolerance means to bounce back even when thrown against a very hard wall. 

The ability to do this comes from sensing that life is a game and that all things move in cycles.

Stability

Amidst the earthquakes of unexpected situations, the hurricanes of unreasonable behaviour, when fortune strikes against me, I will remain unmoved, knowing that finally all will be well.

The secret to being content

To be peaceful is to be free from expectations and to want nothing from anyone. 

Take the initiative and be generous. 

Lead the way and do something.

Becoming a Peacemaker

The first lesson on the path of becoming a peacemaker is to stop being at war with myself. 

It is only when the turbulence of my mind ceases that I can begin to make peace with the world.

Appreciation

Even if I don't mean to be critical, I often unconsciously focus on others' weaknesses and mistakes. 

The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness and only holding on to the good in others and in situations, the more my own sense of well-being will rise.

Resilience

Resilience is your personal power, your inner strength that allows you to rise above difficult circumstances, and bounce back stronger than before the challenge!

Peace, Love and Happiness

Keep peace in the mind, love in the heart and happiness in relationships.

Want Not

Next time you are waiting for anything, notice what you are wanting! 

This will be a source of your tension or impatience. 

All desire has fear built in - fear of not getting or losing, even before your desire is fulfilled.

Introspection

Introspection is the attitude of going inside when it's necessary. 

It is especially applicable before a task or a busy day. 

The result of going inside is peace and calmness, which gives clarity to the intellect for making right decisions. 

Introspection does not mean avoiding the world, it means going inside and getting empowered to act along with others.

Introversion

The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. 

Learning to turn my thoughts away from all my responsibilities at the day's end and take my mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables me to carry greater and greater loads without feeling the burden. 

When my inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything I do is a pleasure. 

Gently, I calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Get Grateful Now

Even when you feel as though things aren't going well in your life, you have reasons to be grateful. 

Today, take time to appreciate the gift of life and all its wonders. 

Count your blessings and cherish what you have.

Go Deep

Most of us think too much, especially about events and people, local and global, famous and not so famous. 

When we are always thinking about what is happening on the surface of life, the visible, then it is as if we are living a superficial life. 

And when two people who both live on the surface meet, the exchange, the conversation, is superficial, sometimes totally bereft of meaning. 

Often it leaves us totally unsatisfied. And as we share news of our surface observations, we come to know our own superficiality, but we are not strong enough to resist it. 

Deep down inside there is a voice, a longing, a calling to depth. 

It's our heart, reminding us to visit, explore and express the depths of our ourselves.

Peace and Good Feelings

Fill your mind with peace and good feelings and your mind will give that experience in return. 

Whatever you are experiencing in your mind now is what you put there earlier on.

Steps of Self realization

Step 1: Morality

Take vows to get over internal negativity and stick to the vow even at the cost of friendship, name, fame, money, etc. Observe internal negative thought and observe from where it is getting originated. Once you start seeing

Step 2: Samadhi – Meditation leading to Samadhi

If the inner environment is free from negativism then only can meditation lead one to Samadhi. If the inner cleanliness is not attained, even if one might meditate 2-3 times a day, he will NOT reach Samadhi even in 100 years of practice. Therefore, one must practice Morality extremely sincerely at any cost to progress to Samadhi.

Step 3: Self-realization 

Only the higher states of Samadhi can evoke Self-realization. Inner wisdom starts sprouting gradually and you will soon attain the Supreme Truth.

Will Power - Free Willy

If you believe ‘you can’ and have the strong desire to do so, then despite setbacks, it’s your will power that makes you ‘try, try, try again’. 

Both ‘will’ and ‘power’ are released when you go from ‘will do’ to ‘doing things willingly’.

Give some Space For God!!

The best solutions to problems will not be the result of hard thinking. 

Use your time better by creating peaceful thoughts and problems will cease to affect you. 

Do not try to solve everything on your own. 

Leave some space for God to come and help you.

Change Skill or Skill of Change!

There is nothing more certain than that "the world will continue to change". 

Accepting and not resisting this, is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. 

Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. 

Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. 

We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. 

The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. 

It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. 

Call in today. 

You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you!

Antidote to Stormy Emotions

Are your emotions easily affected by people and events? 

If so, then like the sea, when the weather is calm your waves roll gently. 

But when stormy winds blow, you become wild and out of control.

Just by knowing this you get a better degree of control on your emotional weather!

How to be a Creator - Create Vision

Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. 

Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. 

We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. 

What is your vision of yourself today – patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? 

What do you prefer? 

So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to …wait? 

Always start with vision not action. 

See it and you will be it. 

Be it and you will do it. 

We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.
