CONSCIOUS TRAINING - OVERCOME OBSTACLES


As humans on Earth we all face certain difficulties in life and have strained relationships with people at home, work place, with our social circle. How shall we overcome the stress and at the same time accept the situations we cannot change and yet cherish life sharing the joy of creation and gain mutual love and affection ?

In reality it is never the circumstances, the problems or obstacles which weigh us down, but our own thoughts, our attitude to the problems. Two similar persons in a similar situation, face the same obstacles but each one in a very different way, depending on their personal attitude.

Therefore, to overcome obstacles easily and to solve problems in a simple manner, it is important to adopt an attitude that corresponds to the reality, an attitude which enables us to see the solution and not the problem. It is the lack of perception of reality, which weights heavily on us, the feeling, that something is happening, something happened to me, which should not have, it is unjust.

In fact we have expected something and in reality something else as taken place. We expect that other people to be friendly towards us should be always co-operative and that too in a way, we like, this is quite unrealistic.

We should not feel disappointed if difficulties do arise because they are already predictable. How can we live in reality? How can we detach ourselves and overlook the greatest difficulties surrounding us, caused by the world around us? We can by constantly occupying the seat of an observer by watching the situations free from prefixed notions and can react to any eventuality with sovereign dignity.

At the level of the observer there are no difficulties or serious obstacles. We look upon things around us as in a big theoretical play, a drama. Every single person plays his roles perfectly in accordance to his might. This way I am able to understand clearly the actions of others and hence feel no hindrances, the solution will become apparent through observation alone.

In the concentrated consciousness, that - ' I am a soul', the level of mental vibrations increases thereby, also the ability of judgment and differentiation.

In this consciousness we also feel kindness towards all beings, on one hand we see them in their form of highest qualities, and also know what and why they act likewise.

It is here we should never allow ourselves to be influenced by others but try to help them who do not have knowledge of how to help themselves and render support to help them to find their stability again. Hence, through our own behavior and vibrations we are in a position to transmit stability and peace to others.

There is a law that negative thoughts are erased by positive and powerful thoughts. We therefore continue in this detached state of being an observer, then as a rule all actions will work towards positivity.

Speech alone does not help to ease our feelings with the other. What brings about the strongest transformation in our attitude, our good wishes, our strength- giving thoughts.We should regard all obstacles that we come across as a means to reach our goal. We are in truth spiritual beings, human soul, full of mental powers, which we have to simply re-discover and develop.

When we know ourselves as the embodiment of the the spiritual powers, difficult circumstances will look as slide-shows rather than burdens.

This is how Conscious training can help relieve the stress and strains in relationships and bring harmonies and mutual love, affection and care in our lives and to perceive the divine in us.
