July 16 - Sunday morning.. best
time to be up, think, pray, make resolutions..and reflect on what we want to
be.. peaceful, compassionate, loving, happy, striving for excellence.
If these
are indeed our goals then our thoughts need to always be in alignment with what
we want.
However many of us do exactly the opposite.. we keep reading things in
media first thing in the morning, get influenced by polarising and divisive
vested interests, take sides and then the rest of the day spend debating with
anyone and everyone and especially with our friends on what is right and what
is wrong.
We feel these are victories when our point is strongly made.. however
exactly the opposite happens, we alienate our friends, we keep fighting on a
platform created not by us, but by divisive forces, who have an agenda in
bringing news which divide people and keep them blind from what they really
want in life.
I decided earlier this year, to break this pattern.. which
creates emotional upheaval. To not enter into a single debate with anyone in
life on whatsapp or facebook. Yes I still have an opinion, but I have no interest in anyone accepting
it.
Cause my only interest is universal happiness.. that everyone in this world
has better health, better thoughts, has prosperity, that the Supreme being
protects everyone and provides happiness. And therefore sangat is important..
Spend time with like minded people, read a book written by a great soul, watch
beautiful positive thought videos.. and only spread message of peace, joy and
force. To always understand that we are all atmas connected with each other and
the paramatma. Only if every moment in life is positive, then the entire life will be beautiful.
