Just Be

satisfaction for being blessed with your gifts. Your mind will ever find ways to contradict this feeling. By its very nature, it cannot be satisfied. Don't let it rob you of your satisfaction. It is good to feel fulfilled. It is good to feel good about oneself. It is good to exist! Be aware of your speech Your courage to speak your point of view out is a good thing, but don't let it degenerate into fanaticism. The energy you put into convincing others about the value of your ideas may turn them off, without your being aware of it! Don't sacrifice the people to your ideology, especially if you only speak about it without really working towards it. Time proves that radiating what you preach always give a better result that trying to force ideas down people's throats. Remember it always. Feel the longing You can feel a longing: for your beloved Master, for a person, a place... To know the longing, without any object, is to know life itself. Waiting with patience and a pure and simple longing is meditation. Sit down comfortably by yourself and close your eyes. Focus on your heart region. Exclude everything else. Visualize your heart as an endless reservoir from where blessings can flow. Feel every heart-beat deeply. Between the heart-beats, feel the energy of love happening. Then open your eyes and smile. Are you fair? As you meet people, you may be attracted to activities or relationships which look bright and promising, requiring lots of your concentration and effort, but may turn out to be a waste of time. It could be that everyone is talking about you or that everyone is turning to you for solutions. Is it really necessary to invest all your energy in the attention you are getting? Keep an eye on what you do. Are you doing the right thing? Are you fair to everybody? Are you straight in your dealings with others? Beware of the cunningness that often creates division. This cunningness knows how to express only through calculation. Calculation is alright for arithmetic, but not for the being.
