Eye of the Storm A wise sea captain caught in a tropical storm knows that if he holds his vessel on the periphery it will get hurled from one side to the other. If he can reach the eye of the storm, he will enter a place of stillness. The storm will then subside and the ship can continue its journey. Similarly, when everything around me is changing in a very intense way, the best place for me to seek shelter and refuge is not on the outside, but deep within the self, where I can get in touch with my own inner being, find strength and stability.

Imbibing A Character Of Truth (Part 3) Very often while dealing with people of different types, a lot of negative personality characteristics or weaknesses come into our behavior and sometimes our good qualities get hidden. In such circumstances, people often see us as false and although we are truthful in many ways and we see ourselves that way, one or two weaknesses spoil that truthful nature at times. So, although, at heart, we want to be truthful and we are also, but the little shades of weaknesses, which may not be very much, make us seen as negatively natured. So a truthful nature means all virtues or qualities exist inside us 100% and everyone appreciates them all the times. The literal meaning of truth is not only honesty as we know it but complete purity or cleanliness of character. Also, a beautiful and truthful nature also means one who does not pretend to be good but is good from deep inside. No one likes people who are good from the outside and will talk about you negatively in your absence. It is like showing a different face to people which others think is you. Also, in friendships or in relations of family, it is very commonly seen that that we will, especially with people close to us, share negative information about others’ behavior. We will also think that it is okay, because those people are not listening. But remember your words don’t reach them, but your thoughts and feelings definitely do. So, not only speak good about others but also think good about them. Be good in front of people and behind their back. That is truth in character and being virtuous always.

Contentment Contentment does not come to those whose means are great, but to those whose needs are few.

Imbibing A Character Of Truth (Part 2) God is an Ocean of Truth and the most perfect personality that exists. Also, the personality of God is transparent and clean and you will never find a single flaw in Him. The reason for this is that the qualities inside God are deep and not superficial. God is someone you feel comfortable with because He radiates true love for you with no artificialness. In the same way, we need to be extremely clean and truthful, just like God, with nothing to hide in our personality, from the world. The more transparent in your nature you become, the more people will come close to you and feel comfortable and at ease with you. Also, let your qualities be visible to everyone so much that you are seen and talked about as someone as virtuous as God. Qualities like love, humility, sweetness and contentment bring people close to you. Also, let the qualities not change or reduce in any situation. Have you noticed that sometimes a quality inside you varies when you are with different people? With one person you are more humble than the other. In one situation, you are sweeter than in another. What this means is that qualities are there but they are not so full of truth and depth. A truthful soul means the qualities of such a soul are like pure gold. Such a soul is commonly experienced as a shining mirror by others, in which they see and realize their flaws easily and get inspired to become virtuous. This is a truthful personality.

Near to Contentment When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.

Imbibing A Character Of Truth (Part 1) A beautiful aspect of our lives and sometimes not given enough importance to is the truthfulness of our words and actions. Very often there are hidden false intentions in our thoughts which are the opposite of what our words and actions might reflect. Also, at times some people may purposely show a different person or a different nature to the outside world and carry a different type of personality inside. What stops people from being themselves? Is it the fear of the outside world or is it a personality characteristic – to be different inside and outside? Also, it is worth wondering such a person who shows a different face of himself or herself to the world – is such a person respected more or less by people around? Less, we would feel and we also experience that. Why? Sooner or later people realize and are able to judge us that we are lying or giving a false impression to people of many things. Such a person looses credibility and respect. So, it’s good to be true and not to be someone with a false nature. Also, virtues shown outwardly to the world to please people are like artificial jewels, which are good to look at but do not carry any value. So, carry virtues or qualities in your heart and not in your head. That means don’t become virtuous to show the world that you are a nice person and not be so nice inside. On the contrary, be so nice inside that people like you very much for your qualities. Always remember, people around you are very sharp in judging that you are an artificial good person or a real good person. So, instead of deceiving people with artificial virtues, express your goodness from the bottom of your heart and people will love you very much for that. (To be continued tomorrow …)

Silence The Chattering It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them.

Make A To-Be List And Check It Everyday At the end of each day, we tick off items from our To-Do list. Let us also check our To-Be list. Daily self-evaluation is a healthy practice and the key to success in every sphere of our lives. At some point or the other, we receive feedback from other people about our inner personality, of who we are, who we can be and how we can improve. Instead of knowing ourselves through the eyes of others, we can self-evaluate ourselves daily and improve our inner personality. 1. In playing different roles, are you always focused on what you are doing and not on how you are being? Regardless of what stage of life you are in, it is important to see yourself clearly and evaluate your personality - your habits, behaviors, values, strengths and different areas that you need to improve. 2. Other people’s opinion or feedback about you is usually coloured by their perspective, mood or personality. Therefore, self-evaluation is the most reliable method to understand who you really are and how you can change yourself. 3. Maintain a To-Be list with any 2 to 3 personality characteristics. E.g. Did I see everyone's specialties and ignore their weaknesses? Did I remain free from all forms of anger and ego? Did I remain free from fear and worry? Did I remain content with myself, others and every scene of my life? Did I keep everyone ahead of me without any jealousy and comparison? Or any other personality characteristics which you feel are lacking in you or you want to improve. Fill it every night. Evaluate yourself with marks out of 10, percentages or a yes or no. Keep changing the personality characteristics in your list from time to time or keep them the same for some time and then change, depending upon your personal choice and own inner requirement. 4. Self-evaluation takes only a couple of minutes before your bedtime every night. Maintain a small diary to note your progress daily. It has immense benefits changing and improving different aspects of your personality. It helps you move gradually towards your self-transformation goals. #Questioning

Love Others Without Any Expectations And Conditions We all want to be very loving towards each other. Love is our inherent nature, our natural state of being. But when we create any other negative emotion for people, our love gets blocked and our relationships get affected negatively. Love means accepting people as they are, caring for their wellbeing, and respecting them no matter how they behave with us. Offering unconditional love is always our choice, it has nothing to do with them. When you remain in constant awareness and connection with your own energy of love, you will experience it in every scene and every interaction with others. 1. Spiritual wisdom teaches us to love others as much as we love ourselves because each one of us is an embodiment of love. Do you radiate such love to people? Or does it fluctuate as per the other person, as per your convenience or as per your mood? 2. Love comes naturally to us. We claim to love family and friends unconditionally. But we often block our love intentionally or unaware, each time we create thoughts of judgment, criticism, fear, hurt, anger, comparison, competition or expectations from them. 3. When we love someone, it means we accept them unconditionally. There are no expectations attached, not even when their words or behavior are not right. Let us hold on to our energy of love and radiate it to people, because our love can heal them and transform them. 4. Make the foundation of every relationship in your life strong and full of love, which does not change with time, people or situations. Remind yourself regularly - I am a loveful soul. Giving unconditional love to everyone is my natural sanskar. My feelings of love for people are not dependent on their behaviour. I choose to unconditionally love and give happiness to people. I am a source of love for others. #IAM

Patience Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations.

5 Ways To Experience Peace In A Busy World 1. Experience Yourself As A Peaceful Soul And Talk To Yourself Everyday - As soon as you get up from sleep in the morning, visualize yourself as a beautiful spiritual light of peace at the centre of your forehead and feel that you are radiating beautiful vibrations of peace all around yourself, in your home and to everyone around. 2. Carry Spiritual Wisdom To Read Anywhere You Go - Keep a book or some other source of spiritual wisdom on your phone or computer anywhere you go. Read or listen whenever you feel that your mind is stressed and creating too many thoughts. Positive input of wisdom full of qualities and powers will touch your thoughts and make them peaceful and free you from the influence of any person or situation. 3. Experience Mind Traffic Control Every Hour For One Minute - Experience peace for one minute every hour, in the middle of anything you are busy in doing. Create few positive thoughts of peace in this one minute. This slows down the mind and you are active in the next 59 minutes but your mind is concentrated with lesser and only important thoughts. 4. See Everyone As A Peaceful Soul And Radiate Vibrations Of Peace To Them - Everyday as you meet family members and friends, keep your vision on each soul as a peaceful energy performing actions through its body. This practice will radiate peace to them and they will feel connected to God - the Ocean of Peace. And you will also experience peace. 5. Keep A Peaceful Environment At Home And At Work - Always have few things in any room you spend time in. Don't have anything scattered around. Make sure every object carries a vibration of peace in it. Outer peace helps in inner peace and inner peace helps in creating outer peace. Regular meditation in your home and office helps in this.
