Greetings to all Brothers and Sisters, As we come to the end of 2009, and preparing to usher in 2010, let us take a moment to reflect on the year that has gone by, and visualize the year that is at the doorstep. As you look back on the past year, each of you would have had different experiences at different times. It may have been good, or moderate, or sometimes things may not have worked well. For most of us, it may have been a hectic activity in the mind about how and when we are going to overcome the problems we are facing. Whatever we have experienced throughout the year of 2009, take it as an experience and lesson, whether it is good or bad. Even though sometimes you may have felt helplessness at the difficult situations, there is always something that is in your control that can make things better. When you seek the Divine Mother's help, and as you start doing things that you can, She will show new avenues to take you where you want to go. And as we move ahead on this journey, remember that whatever we had in the past, we might not have it now. Whatever we currently have, we might not have it forever. Whatever we are waiting to receive, we have to be open and detached from it, like a lotus in the pond. Whatever we have in this world is not ours. We borrowed it from the Divine. Let us be thankful for whatever we have, making sure we don't misuse or disuse what we have been gifted with. We have to come to a realization that we are here to serve and give and share what we have, and not just to take and receive only. The more we share and give, we get more than what we can dream of. Always see the things around us and be happy and appreciate what we have been receiving in our life. The very person who is talking to us today might not be around tomorrow. So let us drop all the issues and bless all around us a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ! Yesterday was History Tomorrow is a Mystery Today is a Gift Let us all share this gift of today with everyone whether good or bad. By sharing this gift, we are not going to loose anything, but will accumulate good karma in our Soul Bank. As we become more conscious of this bank account, we move closer to the Divine. Ekatvam is wishing you all a very good year for 2010. In Ekatvam with all, Love and Blessings, Swamiji and Amma |
