Message for the day

[shivshankar]

To be a giver means to give according to need.

Expression:

The one who is a giver would be sensitive to the needs of others and will be able to give what the other person needs at the right
time, instead of giving what he wants to give. Also such a person is able to give without expecting anything in return.

Experience:

When there is even a little thought to share with others whatever I have, I would naturally be able to perceive my own inner treasures and experience being full. Sharing with others, whatever I can, enables me to get their good wishes also. I thus find myself experiencing the richness of life.

[shivshankar]

The biggest treasure of all is the treasure of experience.

Expression:

The one who has the treasure of experience is able to bring benefit to others. He is clear in thinking and accurate in judgement. So
he is naturally able to give directions or corrections based on his own experiences and is also successful in it. Also there is
equality in what he talks and does.

Experience:

To be an embodiment of experience means to learn from everything that happens. So when I am able to become an embodiment of
experience, I am able to feel mastery over every situation that comes my way. The power of my experience enables me to move
lightly through all situations.

[shivshankar]

Let there be a positive record of always talking with regard.

Expression:

When I have regard for others, there are good wishes expressed through my words. Such words are totally free from the slightest
bit of negativity and bring a very positive result. When words are positive, they are few but essenceful. So they have a lot of
impact on others.

Experience:

When I have regard for others, I will be able to keep myself free from negative and waste words. So I'll naturally find every word
of mine being used in a positive and powerful way. So I find only accumulation and no waste through my words. My energy is saved and others too would have only good wishes for me

[shivshankar]

To be a judge of the self means to be free from judging others.

Expression:

The one who becomes the judge of the self and not that of others, is free from criticising others unnecessarily. Such a person also
does not plead his own case by giving excuses and proving himself right. So he is able to bring about a positive change in himself
and others are able to take inspiration from the change that he brings in his own life.

Experience:

When I am free from giving excuses and reasons for things going wrong, specially to myself, I am able to experience progress in my
life. For everything that happens, instead of blaming others I am able to take some new learning and use it for my own self-progress.I am able to remain light because I have no expectations from others, but am able to bring about a change in them through my actions.

[shivshankar]

Victory is guaranteed to the ones who are constantly loving.

Expression:

The ones who are loving are able to involve others in everything they do with their love. So whatever the task maybe, they find it
to be very easy and are able to accomplish the biggest task with ease. Also each task done by them is with love and so everything is done with lightness and so victory is guaranteed.

Experience:

When I am loving and do everything with love, I constantly experience lightness, based on the blessings from others. I am
carefree as there is no heaviness of the task to be performed. Love transforms labour into entertainment. My internal lightness
enables me to do the biggest task with great ease, involving everyone with love.

[shivshankar]

To sow the seeds of pure feelings constantly is to experience positive fruit.

Expression:

When one's feelings are constantly positive and pure, there is no expectation of the fruit to emerge immediately. Even if others are
not able to respond to the positivity or if situations are not according to my expectations, there is still the feeling of giving.
So there is this positivity expressed through the vibrations spread around and in every word and action.

Experience:

The more I am able to have pure feelings for those around me, the more is the positivity that emerges from within. Because of having discovered the positivity within, I am able to give unconditionally. So I experience the immediate fruit of what I have given and also accumulate for the future, and continue to enjoy multifold fruit of what I give.

[shivshankar]

The ones who work towards perfection naturally inspire perfection in others.

Expression:

All life's situations are lessons for bringing about progress, for the one who is committed towards perfection. Such a person never
expects others to be perfect, knowing that every human being has his own weaknesses. He is instead able to accommodate others' weaknesses. He only inspires others to bring about transformation and work towards perfection.

Experience:

When I am constantly working towards bringing perfection within myself, I am able to take everything that happens to me in a
positive way, as a chance for bringing about self-progress. Also I am able to keep myself positive seeing only the goodness in the
other individual and encouraging it. So I am able to enjoy each moment of my life.

[shivshankar]

The one who is detached enjoys all facilities and yet is not dependent.

Expression

For the ones who are detached, the facilities available are a medium for attaining something. They make the best use of each and
everything available, for their benefit and the benefit of others. Yet they don't stop because of lack of facilities because they are
able to find a way even if there is nothing available.

Experience:

When I am detached, my internal stage is beyond fluctuation. I am able to enjoy each and every thing that comes my way and be light constantly.
Also it enables me to be free of dependency. So I am able to make use of all facilities, and yet be free from negative feelings when I am deprived of them.

[shivshankar]

The one with humility is the one who can be creative.

Expression:

Creativity comes to the extent that the intellect is humble. Such an intellect is able to create something new. Because humility is
a form of love, it brings the enthusiasm for creativity and the ability to bring newness in everything that is done.

Experience:

Humility gives me an experience of being a master, of being powerful. This power comes from the experience of being a constant
learner, because I have no ego of what I already have. This mastery makes me creative, making me bring newness in every thing I
do.

[shivshankar]

Mercy means to give courage.

Expression:

The one who is merciful is able to give courage to the ones who are weak, because of the ability to look at the positive qualities in them. The weak ones are never made weaker with negative and discouraging talk, but are encouraged to discover and use the strengths that are hidden within. So real mercy will give the
courage to the other person to change too.

Experience:

When I have mercy on others, I will never lose hope on anyone, but will continue to have good wishes for everyone. Whatever the kind of person, even with the most negative situation, I will find my stock of good wishes to always be full. So I am able to be free from the expectation from the others to bring about a change
immediately.

[shivshankar]

The language of silence is more powerful than the sound of words.

Expression:

When something is expressed in silence, it is with the power of thoughts. Such thoughts spread positive vibrations and reach out to
the others, in such a way that even the words cannot. Also when such kind of positive actions are added to the positive thoughts, the
desired effect of that is seen. Then the words are not needed to express good intentions and good wishes.

Experience:

When I am able to express myself through the language of silence, I am able to be free from expectations for others to listen to what I am saying. I will only be silently communicating whatever I have to through my good wishes and inspiring others through my positive actions. So I am able to remain content and light, even when I have not yet seen the result of my communication.

[shivshankar]

Commitment for truth brings constant happiness.

Expression:

For the one who is constantly with the truth, there will be no fluctuations in the happiness - experienced by the self and
expressed to the others. So there is benefit for both the self and others through this. Only when there is no truth, the support
of falsehood is taken to prove and defend oneself. So the happiness is not retained constantly.

Experience:

When I am committed towards living by the truth, I will not be influenced by the different situations that I am faced with, but
will be able to experience constant happiness. I will never be influenced negatively by negative situations and allow myself to
lose my happiness. Also I naturally find my happiness rising constantly.

[shivshankar]

Life's situations are a game for the one who is prepared to face challenges.

Expression:

For the one who is a skilled player, every situation, however challenging it may be, seems like a game. Even the most difficult
situation is faced bravely, knowing that it has come to teach something and increase the skill within. So such a person becomes
a source of support to those around during difficult times.

Experience:

When I am aware of my own skills and specialities, I am able to face all life's situations with lightness and confidence. I enjoy
everything that comes my way. I also am able to experience progress as I use all situations as a means for further increasing
my own potential

[shivshankar]

A single step of courage brings a lot of progress.

Expression:

The understanding that one can do a lot and reach great heights, enables one to take courageously a step forward. With each step taken with courage, there is a hundred-fold help received. Also courage means to understand the accurate method of achieving things. When there is this kind of courage, there is a lot of progress in whatever is being done.

Experience:

The aim to achieve the best enables me to have the courage to take a step forward in all situations. So I am able to be light yet powerful under all circumstances. Because I also find myself receiving help, I am able to further increase my own courage. There is nothing to stop me, but I continue to experience progress, in both the positive and negative situations of life.
