Making Your Mind Your Best Friend

If you feel hurt by someone you thought was your friend, know that the hurt is really in your imagination. Your best friend is not outside of you, it is within you. The best friend you have is your own focused and illuminated mind.

So long as you are groping in the dark alleys of your unconscious mind, you will cling to externals, to utopias that cannot last. Life is trying to reveal a deeper truth to you. Whenever you find yourself nurturing a sense of injury, look more deeply within. Discovering that you have your best friend within will allow you to move beyond superficialities. Accept and be grateful for the lesson and reminder.

Forgiving comes from your deep understanding. The Universe forgives you all the time for your own innumerable mistakes, whether you commit them knowingly or unknowingly. You trample over many living insects and creatures without feeling their pain. You hurt people, often without having the slightest idea of the impact of your actions, your attitudes, your words, or your own ego. In spite of this, the Universe allows you infinite chances to improve, to scale the heights of conscious awareness, so that you can discover and experience true joy in life.

It is always in the present moment, when you are bathed in divine grace and light, that forgiveness flows. It arises from the deep awareness of your need to simply let go of all sense of injury. It comes from realizing the truth of the lessons life is revealing to you. Realize that you have so much more in your life. Your sense of injury will naturally dissolve into your more expansive awareness. So, without the slightest concern, forgive and move on to higher things.

The ultimate purpose of this life cannot be to eat, drink, and make merry! If it were, then humans would have long ago attained happiness in life and peace in life. For centuries, we have been searching for happiness and peace through the process of desiring and consuming things; but, with all that man has gained, he has achieved neither peace nor happiness.

When you experience good times, it is easy for you to laugh a lot, and to trigger positive healing energy and boost your immune system. But can you also laugh when you face hurdles? Can you smile because you visualize the universal design that gives you greater challenges in order to achieve greater success? Those who can value the power of the Inner Spirit, and its inscrutable ways, can keep the smile alive in the midst of all the frowns. That is way to be happy and successful.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the eat, drink, and make merry philosophy. The alternative for us is to live, knowing the Art of Living. To breathe, knowing the Art of Breathing. To celebrate, knowing the Art of Celebrating! These arts are natural to man. They let us be free and be enlightened.

You can rest assured, the weeds will be burned off, and you will see a beautiful garden right there.

Your thoughts are magnetic. They have the power to influence reality. Just as a magnet attracts iron filings, so your minds attract situations that correspond to your thought patterns. Have you ever observed that people who worry all the time often find themselves in situations, one right after the other, that bring fresh worries? It is as if their worry room is never empty. It is crowded all the time.

Once a lady told me that she has been unhappy all her life, though she had always been prayerful to God. I said, “Perhaps the god you worship is really the ‘god of unhappiness.’ This is because the mind is like a spider. It keeps spinning silken threads out of its own mouth, building a web. And then it moves around, and around, but it never leaves the web of its own creation. “

If you are not conscious of who You really are; if you have not answered the question, "Who am I"? If you do not find the significance of the True Self within, then you are putting off achievement of life's single most significant goal. As you continue to stretch, breathe, meditate, pray, love, and celebrate, you will see that your Mind becomes more and more luminous, more and more powerful. You find yourself creating miracles that you only thought were impossible.

Trust the power of your positive thoughts. Give up negativity. It is not necessary to run away from darkness, just be bold, upright, and confident. Bring the light of positive power into your thoughts. Become worshippers of Light. Darkness was never really there, it existed because you gave recognition to it. Once you have light, you will not find darkness anywhere. That is true freedom! That is the true goal of living!

The whole of universe, and indeed, the entire myriad of universes, are nothing but manifestations of energy or vibrations in different levels. When you feel low, you say, “I am low on energy.” When you feel buoyant and vibrant with joy, you say, “I am full of energy.” These feelings are nothing but different levels of vibrations in your physical body and mind. In order to get up and go, you need energy; even when you sit and meditate, when you draw yourself in, you need energy. Life is the play of energy. From the farthest stars to the nearest blade of grass, each aspect of creation plays in symphonic harmony with every other aspect, in order to manifest the ever-changing forms of infinite creativity.

The more focused you are to your inner self, to your mind and to your breath, the calmer you will become. As the chatter of your mind calms down, you will feel that your body is not a pack of bones and blood, but a bundle of energy, vibrating and dancing all the time, even when you are deep asleep.

Even scientists, who are engrossed in their search for the mystery of physical manifestations and life, find that everything in the universe, whether animate and inanimate, in its subatomic level, is nothing but energy. The subtlest aspect of matter is pure energy, and the grossed aspect of energy is seen as matter. When you perceive your body as made of material, it is just an illusion, a deception. The reality of your body comes from the world of quantum physics; you are really a void, a space, where energy and consciousness are dancing a cosmic ballet.

Further, this energy is not devoid of intelligence. Energy is infinitely intelligent. Within your own body, every organ, every cell is vibrant energy with infinite intelligence.

All confusion is born in the mind, where energy is playing randomly. If you truly want to rise above these confusions, first you have to set right the instruments of your body and mind, using the practice of observing the incredible mystery of energy that makes our life possible in this planet. Being mindful, watchful, witnessing, prayerful, and utterly filled with gratitude allows you to become intimately aware of all that life is continually showering from the abundance of Universe into our own universe of Body-Mind.
