If I want more roses in my garden, I would start planting them. If I want more love in my life, I would start spreading it. If I want more lightness and happiness in my life, I would start connecting mentally to the spiritual light of God and radiating it. Surround yourself with what you like by continuously generating it! Our cheerfulness should be so profound and steady that it makes others curious about the reason. For this to happen, you must be truly smiling from your heart, not just superficially. It’s not that you have one thing in your heart, something else in your head and yet another on your lips. If we are truly happy, then even our momentary smile and a single word “hello” can make people forget their sorrows. However, we have to be very, very selective in what we allow to enter into our ears. An elephant is so big and so are its ears, but as soon as a tiny ant enters into it, the elephant goes crazy. In the same way, if we allow even the slightest defamation of anyone to go through our ears, we may lose our values and good intentions. We should not believe in the defamation of someone so blindly that it affects our behaviour. Pay attention! Let us learn to see only virtues and specialties of everyone. Let us not concentrate on anyone’s weaknesses. By encouraging and supporting the ideas of others, we not only benefit them, but also ourselves. Freedom is a state of mind achieved when we neither try to control anyone nor try to compare ourselves and our lives with anyone. Yes, one comparison is very beneficial for everyone and that is to compare with the successful form. By doing this comparison, we are well aware of how much more effort should be put. Also, this practice saves us from being trapped under the influence of superiority complex and inferiority complex. Remember that there is no competition or comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine as per their schedule. “Angels are seen up above flying; their feet rarely touch the ground. Why is it so? Because the angels are always light!” – Alan Watts. Accumulating spiritual energy and conserving physical energy fills us with lightness in this disturbing world. We are imperishable beings of light souls, housed – in perishable human bodies and are being sustained by God. Being light gives wings to the mind, which leaves no room for the negative thoughts and reactions. It brings clarity to the mind, creates a happy heart and makes our actions fearless, loving and tireless.
