Positive Reflections messages from Awakening consciousness
Crossing Negative Situations With Spiritual Power (Part 1)
A significant and important sphere of our life which constantly goes away in a direction that we do not want it to is the way we look after our mental well-being and how it influences our overall behavior and the way we perform our actions. E.g. if we are in a positive mood today, automatically all our actions will begin to get influenced by that and positive emotions that exist in our mind, start showing in our interactions. Also, if a negative and difficult situation comes into our life suddenly and our mind moves into a negative direction, then almost automatically our actions go into that direction.
How do we prevent this process from happening? What is the single best method to follow to prevent the mind from coming under the influence of difficult and demanding circumstances? Is there some method which we can use for our mind so that this complete process is stopped at the level of the mind in the first place? Say, you are not physically well today and you do not feel comfortable. So that is a type of negative situation. On another day, your boss at work has not been nice to you and you feel uncomfortable with the situation surrounding you. This is another type of negative situation. Such ups and downs are common in life and they will be there at every step, but do we let them dictate the way we behave or do we ensure that they do not interfere with our regular routine and our dealings with people? Of course, no one wants a burden on them but at the same time situations have to be dealt with positively also. But the main thing to take care of is, that while doing that, you do not lose your inner stability and your actions remain positive and full of peace, love and happiness.
Checking And Experiencing 6 Types Of Contentment
Am I Content With Myself -
Being content with myself, my sanskars, my thoughts, words and actions and also how I feel is very important for progressing in life. Also, we need to realize that those who are always content with themselves, radiate positive energy and attract positive circumstances in their life.
Am I Content With Others -
While playing my roles, responsibilities and relationships, we come in contact with different people, who have different sanskars. I need to check at every moment that am I content with each and everyone or is there someone I do not tend to like? Making each and every relationship beautiful gives me strength and makes me lighter.
Are Others Content With Me -
While contentment with others is extremely important, we also need to check whether others are content with me. The more beautiful and perfect I am in my sanskars and the more I think nice and positive for others, the more others come close to me and I get their certificate of contentment.
Am I Content With God -
Spirituality teaches us to make a beautiful relationship with God, without which our lives are incomplete and without fulfillment. As a Spiritual Father God gives us sustenance, as a Spiritual Teacher God shares wisdom with us and as a Spiritual Guru He teaches us how to connect to Him. While receiving these attainments from Him, I need to check if am I content with Him at every step.
Is God Content With Me -
God fills us with various qualities and powers and makes us beautiful souls. When I always follow God's instructions and don't disobey Him ever, I get His certificate of contentment and become filled with His love and blessings.
Am I Content With My Life -
We are the creators of all our life situations based on our actions of this birth and our previous births. This makes me content with my life and I accept every situation and create a positive future for myself by performing beautiful and positive actions in the present.
Taking Care Of What Is Eternal And Permanent
We are living a life which is full of identities which are temporary and only restricted to one birth. In our very busy lifestyles, which is based more on the physical identity, it is very easy to forget who we are spiritually, not only because we do not have the correct wisdom of what is our permanent identity or who we are spiritually but also because all our physical identities like name, age, gender, looks, external personality, education, profession, relationship, nationality, language, religion, etc. pull us towards them throughout the day. But, as God has made us realize spiritually that all these identities keep changing in every birth and if we keep getting attached to them in each birth and then keep losing them, the soul becomes tired and its happiness and lightness reduces. This is what is happening today with every soul in the world. This is causing soul fatigue and the soul in its journey of many births, is slowly losing its strength as a result of that.
At the present moment, God is making us soul-conscious and making us realize that if we want to strengthen the soul again, after such a long journey of many births, then we need to first start doing every action in the day in the remembrance of our spiritual self, so that we do not lose any more of our spiritual strength and also connect with the Supreme Being or God through His remembrance and the technique of meditation, so that we increase our strength. Along with this, we also need to nurture the soul with beautiful qualities of God, important specialties which benefit the self and others, sanskars and beliefs based on spiritual wisdom, an attitude of self-respect and giving respect to others, determination and will power for bringing about change in the self, spiritual attainments of different types from God and also give our thoughts and time in creating a new and beautiful world which will fill us with the nature of a world server. All these different attributes we will carry with us in our future births and all these will make the soul full of what it requires in very birth. Also, our physical reality of every birth will benefit from them also and become eternally beautiful.
The Negative Habit Of Writing Other People's Script
We are all actors in this drama of life, playing several roles. Every scene demands us to write and enact our own script. But, often we don’t spend time with our scripts. Instead we are busy mentally writing out other people’s script – of what they should say, how they should behave, when they need to respond… We get entangled in their roles and forget ours. People write their own scripts, they cannot enact as per our expectations.
1. Do you find yourself frequently evaluating other people, mentally writing out a script of how they should be and what they should do? Have you felt the futility of the exercise when they didn’t follow your script? Has that habit affected your own growth and development, since your time and energy gets depleted by focusing on others?
2. We are all actors in this world drama, playing several roles in our life. We are the actor, director and also the script-writer in each scene. But while playing our role with fellow-actors, we start focusing on their performance, write their script mentally and expect them to follow it. But other people cannot follow our script.
3. Our focus needs to be on our performance. Whatever may be the role, our personality of peace, love, wisdom, should reflect in every role. Even if other actors don’t perform right, our performance can show them the path to correct themselves.
4. Be aware of perfecting your own script and not other's script. Cross every scene well, by being at ease, relaxed and empowering your co-actors. Remind yourself - I bring out my personality of peace and compassion in every role, uninfluenced by the performances of my co-actors.

A very common question that people have asked since thousands of years is that is our destiny already fixed or can we change our destiny? Whenever we face a difficult situation in our lives, we often wonder that is this a result of our past actions and we also think that can the effect of these negative actions of our past births on our present birth be reversed or stopped. So, what should we do and where do we start? First of all, we need to understand very deeply that all human souls have performed some negative actions, along with positive actions, in many of their different births. But a very important point to note is that some souls have performed lesser negative actions, and some have performed more of them. So, as a result, everyone in the world today is facing some or the other negative situation or situations in their lives because of this. There is a common belief in the world that our destiny is created and written by God and everything that is happening in our lives – whether good or bad, is decided by God. But as per spiritual wisdom given by God, this is not a correct belief. God does not decide our life’s circumstances. Whenever anything good happens in our lives, it is always a result of our good actions of our past as well as because of God’s help, which is there in some circumstances, but not in all. On the other hand, whenever anything negative happens in our lives, it is a result of our wrong actions of our past only. God does not punish us for our negative actions.
So, we all have a destiny based on our past actions. But, at the same time there are three ways by which we can change our destiny at the present moment, as per God’s guidance and spiritual wisdom given by Him –
1. Remember God in meditation and listen to His spiritual wisdom, which will purify the soul and clear off the burden of negative past actions from the soul.
2. Perform many positive actions that will fill the soul with the seven basic virtues - peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and wisdom and also increase the same virtues in others.
3. Remain free from the 5 main vices - lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego and other vices in thoughts, words and actions and lead a pure lifestyle.
When we do all these three the soul gets purified and also creates positive sanskars of goodness and giving. These changes inside the soul change its destiny and attract more positive and beautiful situations in its life and change its negative situations to positive ones. They also make its future births full of positivity and success.
Resolving Negative Situations In 3 Steps (Part 3)
Step 3 – Taking Positive Steps Of Resolution
The third step and a very important one is doing something positive on a physical level to correct the situation. Sometimes, we think that a situation will get resolved on its own if we just think positive and remember God. But it is seen sometimes in certain situations that any delay in taking steps to resolve the situation can worsen the situation and take it out of our hands completely. So, positive energy of our own and that we take from God needs to be radiated from our mind to the situation and we can discuss with others and think ourselves also what we should do now and soon. While we act on the situation, we should also feel God’s presence close to us and catch what He is communicating to us from His divine intellect full of wisdom. Talking to others and reading spiritual wisdom is also good and very important, because God sometimes guides us through others and through His wisdom, which we read or listen to, and takes us to solutions soon, when we don’t expect situations to resolve immediately.
Lastly, when taking steps, keep yourself patient and remember that as you flow through the steps of resolution you take, God will also guide you based on your progress in the resolution and take you to the solution of the problem. If we don’t take any steps of resolution ourselves, even God is not able to guide us correctly, because we over-depend on Him and leave completely everything to Him without doing anything ourselves. God says as you take one step of resolution full of determination, I will help you thousand times more. But if we don’t take that one step, God also remains detached from the situation and we do not receive His help as much as we expect. On the other hand, God’s help creates miracles and makes us feel that the situation was not very big as it seemed. But we need to also be active in the sphere of action and do our best we can to correct the situation.
Resolving Negative Situations In 3 Steps (Part 2)
Step 2 – Creating A Positive And Powerful State Of Mind
The next step in resolving any negative situation is creating a positive and powerful state of mind with the help of spiritual affirmations or thoughts full of inner power and determination. The best practice is to create a short affirmation for yourself according to the negative situation you are facing and to practice thinking it in the mind just after you get up in the morning, before eating and drinking anything in the day and once just before sleeping. The affirmation should be practiced with complete faith and conviction and not just repeated in the mind, without any feelings. Also, we need to remind ourselves that this situation will be resolved easily if we remain fearless and stable and take the help of God, who is the World Almighty Authority and also the Ocean of Wisdom who knows how to resolve any situation in the world. We should also experience His company and power at every step with ourselves and hold His hand of help tightly and feel completely confident.
To absorb God’s power, take time to connect with Him in meditation and also have subtle conversations with Him. Share your thoughts of the negative situation with Him and receive His positive vibrations and inspirations of what steps of resolution to take. Any situation that seems very difficult and the path to success is full of darkness can become easy to cross with the light and vision of God, which you take from God in meditation. Lastly, also remember and revise points of spiritual wisdom related to crossing negative situations that you have listened to and learned from God, and fill your mind with cheerfulness and contentment, based on that spiritual wisdom. Also, remember your experience of different negative situations in the past, which you have crossed with God’s help and support. This lightness attracts positive solutions easily and faster and makes us stronger also for facing the situation with ease and not with any pressure inside our minds and in our thoughts.

Resolving Negative Situations In 3 Steps (Part 1)
We are living a life of unpredictability and unexpected situations come in our lives every now and then. What is the reason for this? Why is it that difficult situations are increasing in our lives today? As per the knowledge of the World Drama which has been revealed by God, we are all presently in the last phase of the World Drama, at the end of Kaliyug or the Iron Age. At this point all the souls of the world are carrying negative sanskars of many different negative actions performed in their past births. These negative sanskars are causing difficult situations of the mind like negative thoughts and feelings and also constantly radiating negative energy to the body, other souls and the environment and attracting difficult situations of the body, relationships, wealth and role. So, we have to resolve these different negative situations with patience and strength. Let us see in this message 3 steps by which we can resolve difficult situations successfully and in a short period of time –
Step 1 – Accepting The Situation Peacefully
The first step in resolving any difficult situation is accepting it peacefully with wisdom and understanding. If we resist any situation and fear it, it becomes bigger and takes more time to resolve. Sometimes the situation is not so big but the thought that there is a difficult situation in our life and life is no longer the same makes the situation bigger. Also, before we create a positive state of mind and start changing the situation with our right thinking, help from God and guidance from others, we need to accept the situation with the understanding that it is not caused by any person or any other outside force, but it is a result of our own negative actions of some past birth or births or some negative actions of this birth. We also need to talk to ourselves and be light in our mind and feel deep within that we are not very bad souls or souls who have performed many negative actions, because of which we are suffering today. Instead, we need to tell ourselves that we are good souls with many specialties and God loves us. But this type of situation can come in anyone’s life and we are not alone. Acceptance will make us stronger and more stable and resistance will make us weaker and unstable emotionally.

Crossing Negative Situations With Spiritual Power (Part 3)
Situations are to be overcome without them creating a deep influence on our consciousness. It is said that, tolerate situations with pleasure and don’t feel their pressure. Pressure of situations has a negative effect on our mind and that can in turn influence our thinking to such an extent that it’s difficult to take away your mind and thoughts from the situation. Someone might say that since the last four days I have not stopped thinking of my argument with my office colleague. Another one might say today I am low since the morning because I heard a very bad news of the death of my close relative. Isn’t it almost like a natural instinct? If a situation is there I will feel different and that different is always negative.
So how do I train myself for a more right or more natural instinct of remaining positive? That will come over a period of time with experience and also practicing stability in every difficult situation we face. It’s like a ship without a rudder, which can lose direction and drown in a rough sea. In the same manner, the rudder of spiritual power will enable us to cross negative situations with ease. It’s also not about saying to yourself that I am powerful and then repeating the same mistakes of thinking negative.
Unless power is filled in the soul through the technique of meditation, we will never change into positive thinking individuals even if we are very determined to become positive and remain away from the negative.
Power in the mind will also create positive sanskaras of faith, patience, determination, tolerance and stability, which will help us in any difficult situation. As a result, we will cross every negative situation with ease and lightness.
Crossing Negative Situations With Spiritual Power (Part 2)
Looking at different types of difficult problems in our life can make us loose our enthusiasm and also weaken us internally. Life can become a difficult and rough journey, which is when spirituality with all its different benefits can help us immensely.
Spirituality is the technique of learning how to rule over yourself not only at the level of words and actions, but also on a more subtle level of thoughts, feelings and emotions.
It teaches us the art and fills us with the power of applying a brake to our negative and unnecessary thoughts when a difficult situation is in front of us. It’s not about suppressing your mind and saying that from today I will not get angry or I will behave with love and humility with everyone and then going back to your negative self after some time. This is unnatural. But on the other hand, it’s about gently transforming your negative emotions into positive ones by the use of spiritual power filled in the self by connecting with the Supreme Spiritual Power Source of the world - God. This connection is called meditation in spirituality.
Also, it’s not about just relaxing your mind by reducing the number of thoughts, but it’s about creating the right positive thoughts which replace the negative thoughts which are in our mind, when we are in the middle of a difficult situation. So, spiritual strength is what will give us the ability to change our way of thinking and behaving and not just spiritual knowledge. Remember, it’s our personality which needs to change and that will automatically transform our thoughts and feelings, which are influenced by my personality.

Overcoming Obstacles With A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith (Part 3)
In the latter part of the birth-rebirth world drama, as our accounts of negative karma or actions have increased, we have experienced large number of ups and downs in the different aspects of life, as explained in the last two days’ messages. All these bitter experiences, which we obviously do not remember today, have weakened us and left deep scars on our subconscious mind and are in fact the main cause of the creation of sanskaras of fear, anxiety, pessimism lack of determination, etc. in the soul. Repeated experiences cause the formation of similar sanskaras (habits). If we experience peace repeatedly i.e. we think about peace, visualize peace, and make peaceful conversations repeatedly, sanskaras (habits) of peace are created in the soul. In the same way each time something went wrong in our life in the past births; due to a lack of spiritual awareness and inner strength, we experienced sorrow, peacelessness, mental tiredness, etc., and that caused the creation of similar sanskaras (habits) in the soul. This is the main reason why today when we find ourselves in a negative situation or scene of life, we are not able to have the faith in ourselves, that we can emerge victorious in the situation.
We have experienced failure in the past births at different points of time and many times and that is why each time something goes wrong, although we emerge thoughts of victory, many times we dilute these positive thoughts with a large number of weak thoughts, of possible failure. This kind of weak consciousness during problems not only prolongs the time duration of our problems but also keeps the solution away from us much longer. Today, with the help of spirituality, we need to inject the power of faith into our thoughts, words, and actions. For that, we need to increase our thought power tremendously, which will positively affect our words and actions as a result. The food of powerful thoughts through listening to or reading spiritual wisdom and the experience of emotional power given to the soul through meditation only can heal the emotional scars in the soul over a period of time, the result of which we can become full of strong determination and will-power to weaken negative situations and make them positive and not let situations weaken us and make us negative.

Overcoming Obstacles With A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith (Part 2)
Having accepted the reality that negativity or negative situations in our mind, body, relationships, wealth and role will arise in our life from time to time (as explained in yesterday’s message), a question arises what kind of consciousness do I keep in these kind of situations and how do I ensure that the situation does not overpower my positive consciousness. Because only a powerful consciousness of faith or victory will keep me protected from the negative emotional and physical influence of these problems but will also become the most important influencing factor which will help me in overcoming the problem and going towards the solution or attracting it towards me, sometimes immediately and sometimes slowly, but steadily, without losing my inner stability during the period that I wait for the solution to arise.
What is a powerful consciousness of faith when we are facing a negative situation? No negative scene or situation of any type in my life lasts forever and this scene shall also pass and I shall emerge victorious over it using the power of thought, the power of positivity, the power of spiritual wisdom, the power of meditation and the power of God’s constant company. My victory is 100% fixed and certain. This is in short a powerful consciousness of faith, which we need to remember many times everyday in the middle of a negative situation. This powerful consciousness will transform the situation from negative to positive and make it completely favorable for us.
In tomorrow’s message, we shall explain what is preventing us from keeping this consciousness of faith and how we can maintain it in negative and uncertain situations, which test our emotional strength and inner stability and resilience.

Overcoming Obstacles With A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith (Part 1)
Almost every day in our present lives brings various ups and downs in our minds, physical bodies, relationships, wealth, and personal or professional roles. Not a single human soul exists in the world today that is experiencing a constant state of positivity in all these aspects of life, mentioned above. All aspects are extremely changeable and every now and then, they seem to bring with them negativity or negative situations. A very simple reason for this is that today we stand at the very end of the eternal world drama i.e. at the end of the Iron Age or Kaliyuga, when every human soul is in its last phase of its journey of birth and rebirth, a journey in which it has committed many mistakes, especially in the latter part of the journey, as it has continued to lose its spiritual power because it has performed many actions in the consciousness of the physical body.
So, the problems from time to time in all the above aspects of life are nothing but a reflection or karmic result of incorrect actions performed by each soul, especially in the latter part of this world drama. If we are expecting a time to come in the present time, when all these will be absolutely fine and they will always be positive at all times, that will not be possible, not until the Iron Age or Kaliyuga reaches an end and we return back home to the soul world or the spiritual home of supreme peace of all human souls, after becoming completely pure. Until we return, for this purification to take place, we will need to settle all our accounts of our past negative karmas or incorrect actions, by spiritual empowerment as well as facing problems in these five aspects of life, not necessarily in all of them at the same time, but in one or more aspects from time to time and overcoming them with ease, positivity and power. Instead of running away from this reality we need to accept it completely and instead of looking at ways of keeping these aspects positive, which we will be able to do but only to some extent because there will be times when it will not be possible for us to change the negativity in these aspects completely, in spite of our deep efforts. We should look to resolve all problems of these aspects and we will be able to do it at times, but it will not be possible each time that these aspects will change for the better as much as we want and at the speed we desire, because a large number of past negative action accounts have to be settled in a short duration of time.

Between managing home, office, children’s classes, shopping, friendships, and other tasks, do you wish for time to tick as per your schedule? How do you feel whenever you need to wait for anything? Living in a world that expects instant gratification, our patience seems to be fading out. Impatience is more about our lack of self-control, than a lack of time. We want what we want, and we want it immediately. Racing to and fro from one task to another, and one thought to another – we are only adding to stress, aggression and pain. Running towards my goal is not worth leaving patience behind. Let’s learn to wait, trusting that everything is accurate, precisely happening when it is meant to. Patience with self, people and situations bring peace, compassion and acceptance. It also gives the power to handle life in the middle of challenges when we don’t deplete energy creating impatience, in other scenes. Practicing patience makes us confident and likeable. It is also a sign of royalty and dignity to wait rather than impulsively react. Remind yourself, 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦.
Among the very valuable qualities you nurture, is patience one of them? How easy do you find to remain patient with people and situations on a daily basis, especially when they are not your way? We all exhibit different levels of patience but to practice it, we need to finish the obstacles that come in its way – mostly as irritation, anger, anxiety, fear, doubt or judgment. Even comparison and competition deplete patience. We routinely say – 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘺, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶…𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳… 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘤… If we don’t want to listen, wait, or persist, we give up our powers to tolerate, adjust or accept. The mind tries to control things which it cannot, and becomes restless. The body receives energy of turbulence from the mind and health suffers. Relationships become fragile. People are doing their best and situations are the way they are meant to be. This understanding creates compassion, kindness and respect. From today, prepare yourself to use patience in every scene, no matter what the day brings.
