Why It’s Easy To Hurt Anyone…

Leave a comment

Before the tongue can speak, it must have lost the power to wound.  – Peace Pilgrim

blurting it

Most of us love to blurt it out. Consequently we hurt others by uttering unkind words. How can we minimize this tendency?

speak in love

Let’s breathe consciously before uttering a single word. Next we must accept the love of our creator. This love falls on us like refreshing rain on parched grass. But just like hardened ground is unable to soak in the rain we too must be soft, pliable and open if we’re to receive this ubiquitous love. Once we do, we can more easily be loving to others…

How To Fix ANY Problem!

Leave a comment

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.  – Rumi (the untold story)

suffer

Why do we worry? It’s because we think we need to figure it out. Why do we suffer? External events or people are often what we blame. So how can we stop worrying and suffer less?

wiser

By becoming wiser. One is wise if we leave the larger problems to be solved by God. If we do what we can and trust that it all works out. And if we realize that we suffer mainly due to the way we think. Like Gandhi said too ‘Be the change you want to see in the world’…

Why Routine Can Be Bad!

Leave a comment

One should always be a little improbable. – Oscar Wilde

routine

Routine is good when it allows us to set and achieve daily goals. It can ensure that we be healthy and happy. But routine can be counter-productive.

hypnotized

We generally move around hypnotized, lost in our thoughts and do our regular chores without being completely awake. And therein lies the rub. Because we’re not awake and present to the moment, we miss out on life. The way to fully participate and be a little unpredictable as a result, is to be keenly alive and in the moment!

Where Do We Look?

Leave a comment

What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.  – Kung-fu-tse (Confucius)

chutzpah!

We often have the attitude that we know the answer. We know what makes us happy, we know what to do with our relationships and we certainly know how to figure things out. This despite many of us having a low self-esteem. Why is that?

humility

Humility will work better. Let’s be curious about life, and not be a ‘know-it-all’. Ask questions instead. And know that we have an inner-guidance system that will guide us unerringly, if we only listen. Guided from within, with an attitude of humility and staying curious about everything outside us is the way!

Perhaps it is good to have a beautiful mind, but an even greater gift is to discover a beautiful heart.  – A Beautiful Mind

mind & body

What’s True Ambition?

Leave a comment

True ambition is the profound desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God. – Bill Wilson

true ambition

We all struggle with what to do in life. We want safety, assurance, fulfillment and happiness. We often end up doing that which doesn’t satisfy the soul. What is true ambition? What should we aspire to? And how?

useful and guided

Our lives will be narrow and self-centered if we only live for self. Think about it, God is the ultimate reality and if we can be divinely guided then life can be nothing but a huge success. How can we be guided by God? How can we be useful to others? With these two guiding principles life simply unfolds its treasures and lays them on our path forward…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM guided to be useful to others!

How To Be Spiritual!

Leave a comment

To be real is to be spiritual.  – Vernon Howard

spirituality

We aspire to be spiritual. But what does that feel like? How can spirituality be defined? Here’s a dictionary definition:

spir·i·tu·al [ spírrichoo əl ]  

  1. of soul: relating to the soul or spirit, usually in contrast to material things
  2. of religion: relating to religious or sacred things rather than worldly things
  3. temperamentally or intellectually akin: connected by an affinity of the mind, spirit, or temperament

be real

‘To be real is to be spiritual’! So pithy, so perfect and fit a definition of spirituality! What does being real mean though? Here’s an interpretation along a few of life’s dimensions:

  • Self: See my self as I truly am. Understand my thoughts, desires and emotions along with their origin. Know my place in the Universe. Know my relationship to divinity. Learn to be happy.
  • Family: Understand my duty to family. Understand relationships as they are. Help others be happy.
  • Society: Know my responsibility to Life. Act on making life better for everyone.
  • By being real we understand self and situations. We’re well prepared to live a happy and productive life. We are spiritual.
