Rule your mind
Your thoughts define who you are and the strength you hold within
In these unusual times, many of us seek to live under the protection of
God. Even the rich and powerful, those virtually presiding over nations, seek
to stay in the shadow of God who is the most complacent, most merciful and
omnipotent in this universe.
We claim him to be our fortress and the
only way we can save ourselves from deadly diseases and secret traps. We must
not forget that God’s peace is not the calm after the storm. At times, we
possess everything within us but still look outside. We want God to do
everything for us. When we face problems, we want him to solve them instead of
solving it ourselves. Little do we realise that problems indeed make us
stronger.
God’s design in the universe deserves great understanding. Look
at the beauty of nature, of the reproductive cycle of creatures. This is all a
part of God’s cycle.
Certain people and situations bring about
circumstances that can make us fall apart. Our strength lies in keeping
everything together, contrary to their expectation.
Time does not change people, but it does
reveal their real faces. People come into our lives as lessons or blessings.
Those who backstab us leave by teaching us a lesson. We may have learnt it the
hard way, but we must thank and pray for them for teaching us a valuable
lesson. I have had many such encounters. God bless them all with spiritual
progress.
We need to understand our purpose in life.
What if I told you it would be in tying your father’s shoe laces, by saving a
dog from an accident, reuniting a lost child with its parents or saving a young
couple from harm. Would you take it literally? If you do so, then you are
equating your life’s purpose with a goal-based achievement.
But the universe isn’t interested in your
achievements, just your heart and actions. If you choose to act out of
compassion or kindness and love, you are already aligned with your true
purpose. This, by itself, creates a placebo effect and we know we have the
ability to heal ourselves and others.
Our thoughts are powerful. There is a
divinity that acts with infrasonic powers which are enough to bring anything
into existence. If the blessings of this trinity radiate through our hands and
heart, and if we have the strength and ability to assimilate these blessings,
we will begin to absorb universal secrets. In today’s world, we have the
ability to talk about anything. What we actually need is the courage to sit
down in peace and listen so that we can understand and practice.
We have people who claim to be doctor of laws by simply reading a bare
Act. Such people who think by an inch and speak by the yard often get kicked by
the foot. When it comes to universal knowledge, our degrees are nothing but a
piece of paper, and the real proof is seen from our character. We do not truly
honour ourselves; but think of what others’ opinions of us might be. In fact,
no matter how nice, kind, caring and loving you are, it isn’t enough for
others.
