The fastest way to become the Master of your thoughts and emotions is through challenging situations. If your life is going along fairly smoothly, there are not the same opportunities that enable you to strengthen your power and become the Master of your thoughts and emotions. You see, even challenges are beautiful opportunities in disguise – Rhonda Byrne
If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive – Mother Teresa
Man falsely imagines “I am doing this”, “I am planning this”. It is the supreme, all pervasive consciousness that motivates, unfolds the skills and operates the intellect – Sri Sathya Sai Baba
All things splendid have been achieved by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance – Bruce Barton
The master is within; meditation is meant to remove the ignorant idea that he is only outside. If he is a stranger whom you await, he is bound to disappear also. What is the use of a transient being like that? But so long as you think you are separate or that you are the body, an external master is also necessary and he will appear to have a body. When the wrong identification of oneself with the body ceases, the master will be found to be none other than the Self – Ramana Maharshi
Every night before you fall asleep, replay in your mind the good moments of the day, and give heartfelt thanks for each one of them. Think about the next day also, and intend that it is going to be amazing, that it is going to be filled with love and joy, and that all good is coming to you. Intend that it is going to be the best day of your life. Then when you wake in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, declare your intentions again for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all – Rhonda Byrne
Today’s Thought For The Day is dedicated to my Sai Sister Nelline Naidoo who is currently in the throes of illness. May Swami’s love forever touch your heart sweet soul.
See with the eyes of love
Hear with the ears of love,
Work with the hands of love,
Thinks thoughts of love,
Feel love in every nerve.
~ Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
When the power of love replaces the love of power, man will have a new name: God – Sri Chinmoy
