Another boring advice from me, please bear it!
For me, thoughts are the food of mind .A new thought everyday will not only be fresh food but will provide the necessary nutrition and stimulant needed to keep mind healthy and enthusiastic about life .In this day of disruption and chaos, this is important .Each day has its own special for the day, each offering a full selection from which to feast the mind .This is the best way to overcome stress .
Sunday is Blissful [holiday na!] , Monday-peaceful, Tuesday-Loveful, Wednesday-Powerful, Thursday-Knowledgeful, Saturday-Merciful .
It is recommended Grade A diet .Here, I am trying my best to explain these seven components of life without which life will be akin to Biryani minus salt and spices!
1.BLISS
Few thoughts.the union with my father, the blissful one:experiencing his peace being peaceful:experiencing his love being love:experiencing his bliss being blissful .
Bliss is the happiness beyond the senses .Beyond the laughter, the merriment .Away from the sways of joys I have known .Not lost in gentle puls of the winds, nor using the eyes to see that which lightens and brightens, not using the ears to be hypnotized by the musicale manifique, and not using the mouth to taste the sweetness of the first fruit of the season .
Rather, sitting alone with myself:quietly.silently.thoughts turned within .Listening to the sound of the silence.Then thoughts turned beyond the physical, in tune with the spiritual-the peaceful, the pure .
2.PEACE
It may seem almost useless to talk about peace when all around us we see a continued state of peacelessness [I am from UK!] .It is the state that forces on us the necessary of finding our own source of peace to draw upon and live from When we realise that original nature of our soul is that of peace, we can combine with god who is the ocean of peace and so become the embodiment of peace.a living, thinking flower .
3.LOVE
I am quite cyclic! Love is indeed a most powerful force .It can take us top the great heights and leaves us light and airy .Yet, it has been the most abused and misused force .Many degraded things pass for love .
Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, god our fellow men .Love is selflessness .Love is not an emotional state confined whims and fancies .It has nothing to do with bodies:love dwells in the soul .We must allow our love to flow out and around us .Indeed love is a key .Well, I can go on.
4.POWER
Gaze at the waves, with caps of white, standing tall like snow-capped mountains .They rise up and move forward with crowns .Crowns of purity and power, Majestic masters .
See their motion:relentless, unaffected by objects in their path-whether full or glittering, large or small .Tireless, they know not the word OBSTACLES .
Power, being confident that thought a few battles may be lost, the great war will be won-conquerors .Determined that though sometimes the goal seems far away and oh so high, determined to reach the goal .Nothing attracts or disattracts-strong-willed .Being fearless:no weak thoughts of doubt .Having strength to destroy them-brave warriors .Being stable in the awareness that I am a child of god, the Almighty Authority, and being an obedient child, having the right to claim that authority .
5.KNOWLEDGE
God, the highest on the high, is indeed the highest education .God is the ocean of knowledge and knowing god, you can come to know everything .
6.PURITY
We were once all peaceful and pure, but what does being pure mean, and how did we act?
Impurities are chains that bind, devis that make us vicious, and snakes that makes us so senseless, it is as if we are asleep, ignorant, unconscious .Purity sets us free .It gives us the keys to knowledge, peace, happiness, power and god .
Purity is so precious, so rare, so powerful.Purity’s light is such that we are not confined by boundaries of colour, sex, race, religions, beliefs and other outdated stuffs .Its might is such that fires of passion, anger and vices are extinguished and in its place pure cool love glows .
7.MERCY
Now-a-days, it is felt that to show mercy is a sign of weakness in character .Not true .Rather it is a sign of great strength, vision and wisdom .To be merciful is to show an accurate understanding of the situations in life which go way beyond the facts and evidences as they are presented visibly .
To be merciful indicates an elevated consciousness, so high, that in spite of the disparities and bad actions, we can have the strength to say’I understand and I forgive’
