KINDNESS THE WAY TO INNER GROWTH

Positive attitude helps us to thrive better in the society and helps us to create a bond with the universe as a whole. The whole world is just a reflection of God's infinite LOVE towards us gifted by His Grace.

KINDNESS is the life giving water for growth. Often this expression "kindness" is misunderstood.

Kindness has its basis in the acknowledgment of our own real qualities, and those of the others. When we are good to our-self, and in unison and in harmony with our own self , we realize our true, high positive nature, or the confidence to create this through our thoughts and through the transformation of Consciousness, then we also develop love and respect for our own Self.

We shall conduct ourselves to much wisdom and kindness without pressure or constraint. Within us lies the infinite power, tenderness and strength to emerge from the deep confidence in our own greatness. This means that we change all our negative thoughts into positive pure ones, which takes us because nothing pure or great can never emerge from IMPURITY. Expressed in other words, a tender, loving powerful personality can never arise if we force ourselves compulsion or with the pressure of ambition.

Confidence based on realization and the resulting LOVE and kindness are the strongest forces that ensure our progress and perfection. Once we have this clear picture of our perfection of our highest form before us, we must develop in that direction accordingly.

THOUGHTS ARE CREATORS. What we think about our self, what we deeply imprint in our conscious and do become the same.

The ambitious do not really know who they are or what their own true qualities are hence ambition is a spiritual suicide. Therefore, we are what we think so and do not have to prove that to our self or to others because that would mean EGO.

The ambitious one wants to prove to himself and to others, that he is a good man. He has no clear notion about his real identity. He, therefore remains constantly under tension and becomes inwardly hollow and powerless.

Tension, stress of performance and ambition are forces which pull us down. Even when we achieve success under stress, this does not mean we could not have done so or would have achieved less without tension. Oh! on the contrary, if we are relaxed and calm within, and have our goal clear in front of us, we shall also reach the same with a great deal of power, dynamism and with ease be inwardly or outwardly successful.

Healthy ambition is that which is combined with a clear objective attitude and activity, as well as enthusiasm and dynamism. Ambition just to prove one's might and knowledge to the world... just to satisfy one's EGO is again SPIRITUAL SUICIDE and will lead one to psychological problems too. However, ambition is generally brought with tension and worry. Psychosomatic illness are the result.

These people feel overwhelmed by their responsibility and are so involved that they are unable to fulfill their duties with ease, DETACHMENT and inner power. When one is capable of delivering his duties with detachment only then he gains the inner peace and realizes the sense of inner satisfaction.

Ambitions which when wrongly nourished with a sense of PRIDE are forms of high efficiency tensions are like stabbings into ourselves. Such ambitions makes us hollow and robs us of more of our strength. In order to reduce this feeling we must have the experience of our real quality through Consciousness training.

We should not be out to prove to ourselves that we are good, and should consider mistakes as obstacles which we can overcome. In this way we can develop inner strength.

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.
