Concern for the quality of my actions today ensures the success of my tomorrow.
In the garden of our mind when we plant a clean seed of positive thought and concentrate on it, we give it energy, like the sun gives to a seed in the earth. Just as the seed awakens, stirs and begins to grow, with proper cultivation and care, the thoughts we concentrate on awaken, stir and begin to grow. In silence, morning and during the day, pause and sow seeds of peace in your mind. Peace is our original strength, our eternal tranquility of being. Peace finds its home again within and around us when we meditate.
“Ask me how long I don't meditate!” Dadi Janki would say with a twinkle in her eye, when asked how much she meditated. What is it about meditation? Meditation allows our highest and innate deepest qualities deep within the very core of the soul, to emerge and be expressed. Continue to meditate over time, you become more peaceful and even impact the atmosphere and other people, animals, nature. Recently, Sr Jayanti gave the example of Gyan Sarovar, completed in 1996 in Mt Abu, India. “We acquired it because local milk families found the soil infertile and not nourishing for their cows so they came, and asked us if we could take it. And now so many beautiful flowers, trees, plantations of fruits, apples, mangoes, papaya, kilos of them, and many vegetables. In just a few years the land had become fertile. What happened? Positive thoughts and feelings through vibrations can change everything.”
Wisdom teaches everything happening in this theater of life has profound significance; life does not function haphazardly. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but fruit from seeds planted in the past. As you do, so you become. Every action that you perform is recorded in you, the soul. These imprints ultimately mould your character and destiny. When you understand this principle, you will pay more attention to bringing your best to everything you do.
Life isn’t all about working hard for a living but living a value based life and spreading the fragrance of values to others. Pure actions are like good seeds which, when planted, produce healthy, sweet fruit. .’ As you sow. so shall you reap. Success means to reach such a constant level of positive thoughts that pure actions happen naturally! Be mindful and think wisely. Connect to God, the Master Seed of this human world tree, and continue enjoying the fruits from seeds of inner peace, positivity and power.
There is hope people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers of this planet.” Brooke Medicine Eagle.
