I'm Never Satisfied Because I Know I Can Do Better. In professional life this line is said many times. An artist says that 'I have not yet created the painting that I want to make it.' What does that mean?? It mean that unsatisfaction leads to man where he wants to go? What is contentment and satisfaction. 
Contentment is referred to the experience of the inner self and inner fulfillment by just "being." The keyword is "being."
Spirituality teaches us that "being" is before "doing" and "having."
Thus, when the experience of "being" is not complete, "having" and "doing" to fulfill our "being" will be pursued.
The mental game of "tomorrow" is very deceiving. Tomorrow I will paint my greatest painting. Tomorrow I will be satisfied because I can do better. Note how we compare all the time. (Now with tomorrow)That comparison does not allow us to enjoy life in the "now." We believe that being a "doctor" in the future is "better" than being a student "now." That belief has a limited vision. "Now" has its own beauty which may not be there tomorrow.
The cycle of looking to be satisfied by having or doing is just the game of a dog chasing its own tail.
Note how our society exploits this "satisfaction," so there is always something "better" that will come tomorrow and that we need to have it so we can be "part of it." Better technology, better health care, better things which will lead us into greater satisfaction…But when the time comes, that reality is not like the dream we had, what we thought it ought to happen. Temporary things will always bring temporary satisfaction… until we decide to look into the "time-less" that is the inner self as the "seed" of everything which we want to build in this life.

You wake up. Thoughts come into your mind. Some are heavy, others not. You had a dream. It was related with the movie you watched last night combined with other things that happened to you yesterday or many years ago…
If you fall sleep with the TV on, you probably do not get a good sleep. Even though you sleep 10 hours, the feeling of tiredness is there.
You probably will go to work this morning or eat a little something, (coffee and/or a Coke are part of the waking up process) take a shower and then "move on" into "whatever" brings the day.
This is a "normal" day for a "normal" person.
Your day will be a mix of fantasy "brought to you by" your own "emotions in motions, inc." which will be playing in the movie theater "inside" you along with pieces and bits of what we call "reality," that usually means, to say hello to someone and to add a couple of "really?" checks here and there while speaking with that one so they think that we are interested in their explanations… or perhaps talk about another recent movie or the weather or the game or politics or just plain gossip… The menu of choices is impressive!
The interesting thing is to find out how much of that information which we acquire and give away will become part of us? I mean; our personalities will be made up of interactions, experiences, realizations, and insights which are influenced by our "normal" thoughts.
In "meaningless" living some find meaning. It is about the paycheck to spend. It is about increasing our ego by separating and classifying. It is about fighting to survive and "become someone" in life!
In that "normal" environment, there will not be a chance to observe the self. As a matter of fact, without observation of the self there cannot be any understanding of spirituality. Spirituality then becomes just conceptual learning as if taking "history 101" as a college course. Lots of information without practical purpose.
Some individuals want to stop their thoughts. Their thoughts are out of control. Depressions are experienced with high doses of elation in between. Some individuals want to calm down their emotions, their impetus to react at the minimal provocation. Their ways of living are constrained by previous "brainwashing" through learned traditions, ways of living, ideas, beliefs, etc. All of that creates a conflict when dealing with an ever changing "reality."
It is in that state of affairs, when Dr. Pill offers a solution to "calm you down." :-) However, the behavior which started the problem is never under scrutiny. Pills come in different colors to match your "mood" today… They are fashionable. :-)
Can you stop the madness without Dr.Pill and his friendly pharmaceutical industry sponsorship? Yes. It is possible. It may take some time, but this approach does not have side effects… :-)
For example:
Anand goes for a walk. Anand is aware of himself and the environment. Anand observes that when his mind is clear from thoughts, automatically a different "sense" of awareness appears. It is called "inner awareness."
Anand wakes up early to watch the trees, to feel the wind and to hear the birds. Anand observes the ocean as well and his breathing is in tune with the waves of the ocean as 2 dancers dancing in harmonious movement. That simple "activity" brings clarity to the mind.
TV cannot do that, not even while watching the "Nature channel." :-)
In that clarity of mind "brought to you by" Nature, Anand is able to observe. The reality of life is not experienced conceptually. Words, concepts and definitions are the "middle man" which filters an otherwise, automatic and precise perception which is void of emotional baggage and "problems."
The beauty of a tree is not perceived by saying the word "tree" or "beautiful" in our minds. As a matter of fact, by saying those words, we will destroy the experience. Those words are" the middle man."
Anand realized that if he reads any ads or labels in his walk to the park; those labels will bring "pictures" and thoughts which will take him away from a direct experience of life. Similarly our wild and untamed mind will bring a perception which corresponds to a particular emotion, which will color the way we feel throughout the day.
Some examples:
The concept of karma is meaningless when there is observation on how life works. Everything is cause and effect and the perception of that effect will be experienced in some way by the one initiating the activity. A fish eating another fish will end up being eaten by someone else. The fish perceives eating another fish as "normal." For another being, that activity may not be that "normal." It is a relative vision. However, the result appears regardless of "view points." To have that clarity of perception is to be in tune with "what is."
That concept of karma is further divided into "good and bad." Then individuals living their lives through a concept will believe that there are "good actions and bad actions," but because there is no observation of the self, those individuals will not realize that those activities come from our own thoughts and feelings. Therefore, the quality of those feelings and thoughts will determine the quality of our actions. Therefore, those individuals without observation; will live their life by following a conceptual list of "good" and "bad" actions which eventually will bring a conflict in their lives; for life is not conceptual.
But we wish it was so we can make "sense" out of it, write about it, define it, limited it and talk about it with Ph.D "expertise."
The same situation occurs with any concept which becomes the "middle man" in the perception of life.
If I am told that God is a "white blue eyed old person with a long bear" and I believe it, then divine experiences which I may experience in life, will not be recognized as such because in those experiences I did not perceive that figure of God behind those divine, miraculous experiences.
That is the meaning of "limiting the unlimited," which conceptual living usually does.
To experience life in a spiritual way, that is in an integral way; we need to free our minds from the conceptual cages and allow ourselves the experience of life without that "middle man." This is observation.
Then, I am not suppressing thoughts, but rather my mind becomes clear and able to recognize life as it is. Life then becomes such an experience…. the "normal" guy does not know about..yet..

The Big Moon
 
 
My Thoughts

Everything depends on my thinking. If I think in the right way I will be light. If I think in a wasteful way I'll be heavy. Waste thoughts are dangerous. They waste my time. They allow the past to come alive, then I forget the present and question the future.
 
 
 
 
 
When you are always truthful, you'll have nothing to fear.
 
True courage comes when there is the power of truth within you. When you are constantly truthful, you will have nothing to fear. In all the challenges you face everyday you will be able to maintain your courage because of your power of truth. Make sure your actions are based on truth and when things go wrong, you will still be able to maintain your courage. Keep reminding yourself that you have the power of truth with you and you will be victorious, whatever the challenges that come your way.
 
 
 
Understanding Fear and Its Effects

The reason we sometimes cannot see the other options, when faced with a challenging situation, is because our deepest learned habit is to create fear and then react from that fear, and it's fear that shuts down our ability to create choices, not to mention paralyzing our ability to assess the strengths and weakness of each option and make the right choice. We have been taught to believe that the fear is normal and natural. But the truth is that the fear paralyses our ability to create what may be much more appropriate and effective responses. Fear is a learned habit and very soon we are generating fearfulness at the slightest perceived threat. Contrary to popular belief, fear has absolutely no value to our well-being. E.g. You don't even need fear to respond effectively to the unexpected encounter with a thief late at night or an unexpected outburst by your boss in the office. You need the cool, calm and concentrated focus of a gymnast and the creativity of a skilled skulptor to respond effectively. It's not the thief or the boss that scares you, it's what you do with the thief or the boss in your mind that generates the fear. Who or what are such fears in your life? What are you doing with them in your mind?
 
 
Soul Sustenance

The Power To Transform Emotions (cont.)

Thoughts may be temporary. Feelings (either positive or negative), accompanying repeated thought-patterns, stay a bit longer inside us. But when a soul suffers a major setback, loss or failure in life that it is not able to deal with, it becomes emotionally damaged and the results of that can be extreme.

Suppose I lose a loved one all of a sudden. If the feelings that come to me because of this loss can be taken care of at that time, through any means like the remembrance of God, meditation, developing a positive hobby to divert my mind, spending more time in the positive company of other family members, etc.; I will deal with the feelings and move on. If however, I am unable to deal with my feelings through any of the means mentioned, the experience of loss I feel is going to cause a lot of deep damage on the emotional level. Then it will not just be a feeling of loss, but it will actually have wounded the soul emotionally. Until that wound has healed, I'll carry it with me long after the loss has suffered. The emotions linked to it will come to the surface repeatedly, though I may have no idea where my sorrow is coming from. Due to the emotional wound, I'll be unable to stay happy, no matter how positive my circumstances may be today.

Meditation does not require me to go into the subconscious roots of my pain. Instead, through thought, meditation enables me to take conscious control of my feelings and emotions, so as to displace the negative, which brings sorrow; with positive, which brings happiness. It helps me experience pure, powerful emotions and loveful feelings to such an extent that the wounds left by past experiences are healed. Raja Yoga means 'royal union' - it means having a loveful relationship with God. The experience of God's love is a soothing balm for my emotions, and a remedy for the emotional pain the soul feels.


Message for the day
 
 
To keep the aim in front of us is to move forward with contentment.

Projection: Several times there are situations that are negative where we have to face things that are not really what we are expecting or wanting. At such times we tend to get disheartened and experience discontentment. Our state of mind becomes such that we can no longer experience peace.

Solution: The solution at such times is to keep our vision clear on our aim. When all our thoughts and energy are concentrated on our aim, we will be able to consider any negative scene that comes our way as only a side-scene. We can easily ignore all such situations and so our mind is at rest or peace.
