Look at the Positive Aspects in Others

The power to merge brings success in relationships. The specialty of the ocean is to merge. The most beautiful pearl is made of the dirt that is thrown into the ocean. So also the power to merge actually allows one to look at the positivity in spite of the obvious negativity that is expressed by the other person. So the relationship with the other person is only with their positivity. When we are able to merge the negativity of others, and look at the positive aspect in them instead, we can automatically experience being light and positive within. Also we find others relating to us with their positivity. We are able to be successful in our relationships with others, however difficult the personality traits of the other person may be.

Experience the Power of Unity

To understand and accept people's ideas is to increase the power of unity. When one suggests something and the other accepts, it gives power to the gathering. So instead of expecting others to accept suggestions, it is better to understand and provide with what the other person needs. The more something is given with generosity there is happiness for the one who is receiving and for the one who is giving. And there is power because of being together in the task. If we take something with force we find that others give it to us only temporarily. Instead if we give with happiness, we find that others are able to share with us with happiness. So what we give, we find, remains with us permanently. There is an experience of fullness and the happiness of having attained even while giving. And with this we are able to experience the power of unity, and the joy of doing things together.

Love Dwells in the Soul

Love is a powerful force. It can take us to great heights and leave us feeling light and airy. Yet it has been the most abused and misused force. Many degraded things pass for love. True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect and not simply on transient emotions. Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, God and each other. Love dwells in the soul. We must allow this love to flow out and around us. Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences, for indeed 'love is the key.'

God Loves You Always

Don't be afraid of your sins. Because God will never stop loving you. He knows that love keeps a child growing. So just keep thinking of what He wants you to do, and do it.

Keep Your Mind Clean and Clear

Cleanliness means no waste within. To be totally clean means there is not a trace of negativity or waste within. Even in the most complicated situations there is clarity within. The mind is clear and clean so there is clarity in words and actions also. Every decision is taken with a clear mind and so whatever is done is naturally accurate. When there is cleanliness in the heart, we are able to win the love of those around me and also of God. We find that we become a mirror for the others and they are able to see their own perfection through us. We find that we are able to save a lot of time as we are able to see things for what they are and because there is clarity in our thoughts.
