Relationships are like a tapestry... The fabric is strongest when the threads are spun with openness, love and trust. Let me be the first to display these strengths.
Internal And External Attachments (Part 1)
Attachment can be on two levels - either internal or external.
Some common examples of external attachments are attachments
to:
- people,
- objects,
- your physical body,
- your position or role in your family, society or in your professional
field,
- money,
- places,
- physical comfort/comforts,
- the way you look or dress up or carry yourself or your physical personality
in general,
- a particular skill/skills,
- a particular interest or hobby like watching movies, online social
networking, etc.
- your routine or a certain way of working at home or at the workplace,
- respect from others,
- how people see you or behave with you or what they think of you, etc.

Increase
Inner Power
We do have a lot of thoughts to bring about a
change in our lives. But
most of the times we find that we are not able
to bring this thought
into practice. As time passes by the thought too
loses its importance
and we find ourselves caught up with waste or
negative thoughts. We
need to keep a chart of our waste and negative
thoughts as well as our
powerful and positive thoughts. Only when we are
consciously aware of
how much we are spending through our negative
and waste thoughts and
how much we are accumulating through our
positive and powerful
thoughts can we be determined. We also are able
to increase our
accumulation and thereby increase inner power.
Message for the day
God's love brings out the perfection from within.
Expression: The power of God's love brings about
change internally. Through His love everything old and unwanted finishes. There
is the natural tendency to bring about such perfection that the one who loves
Him and gets His love becomes like a mirror - a mirror in which perfection of
others too is visible.
Experience: There is such inner strength that I get because of
God's love that even if somebody does something to hurt me, I don't allow
myself to get hurt. Even if people are saying negative things, they don't
influence or touch me in a negative way. I am so full with God's love that it
naturally flows out to those around me.
