Going beyond the limited and the unlimited...
"Children, you have to go beyond the limited and the unlimited." - Dad.
This probably means wrapping up into the seed stage. No thoughts of the limited level... and no thoughts at the unlimited kind (the cycle, the whole world family, gyan or churning or yoga or whatever)... just experience of complete fullness of the seed stage.
Hmmm...

The mind of God
The greatest form of yoga is exploring God's personality...
How does God think?
What is His intellect like?
What are His sanskaras like... His personality traits?
What do His words mean?
What does He really intend to say?
Ah the delight of knowing God! The thrill!! The ecstacy!!!

Sisters and the fortune of easy dharana
Interesting quote from PG Wodehouse: "At the age of eleven or thereabouts women acquire a poise and an ability to handle difficult situations which a man, if he is lucky, manages to achieve somewhere in the later seventies. P. G. Wodehouse, Uneasy Money"
The Spiritual Army discussed this aspect today... this holds good especially in Bharat where the society imposes the virtues and these turn out to be such a saving from the karmic perspective. But they have plenty of rough situations to undergo as well...
Maybe souls often swap genders in the end of the cycle to get both sides of the coin... interesting.
Creativity by Choice
Very often 'creativity, under fire'... sums up as 'necessity is the mother of invention'.
And yet i feel, this need not be so. When we are relaxed, we can be very creative. Little children are hyper-creative without any pressures or expectations.
'Creativity by choice' is a great motivator. If i decide to focus my thoughts on a particular idea - not necessarily because someone told me to, but because i'd like to - then there is a downpour of ideas...
The mind is immensely creative all the while. i may visualise/anticipate/worry about things/ideas/situations that do not exist. i may dwell in my past, i may conjure many possible futures...
When i harness this energy at will, life turns out to be a great game. When i let external pressures dictate my creativity, well... then i'm being driven... and not really in the driver's seat. Either ways, its my choice of how i wish to lead my life.

Badminton... with thoughts...
An Angel shared:
> Om shanti,
> Like to share the following with you all written by my dad. Thank you.
>
> Hurricanes, t.storms have
> Become common in life.
> Peace is broken to pieces
> Energy getting depleted
> Meaning of life is unanswered
> I craved for peace
> I cried for shelter
> heard a gentle voice
> BETA;
> Life is for giving
> joyful life is your birthright
> attachments are diseases
> excuses are lies
> know your limits to go beyond
> less expectations...less disappointments
> stop looking at others
> to be no body but yourself
> hold my hand...I am with you
> YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THE WORLD
And a response...
Some inspirations from our common Dad... additional perspectives that He
may offer...
At the centre of the storms
i show you the place of calm...
From the broken pieces, i show you the original picture
and lo with your magic wish, it has become whole again!
i have come to recharge You my dearest one,
i show you the meaning which none has ever been able to see...
i give you happiness and the understanding that bringeth peace...
Your presence is now a protection for the world
i urge you, beseech you , remind you my beloved one
my child,
Life is expression. Expressing your nature...truly...
you are peace. you are love. you are bliss.
clouds do come... and darkness does fall
alloys do cover your pristine beauty...
And yet, know well that you are unlimited in your qualities...
Sit on the pyre of knowledge and what is not true, will burn away...
You are the greatest one. You need not expect anything...
Victory, fame, love, truth, bliss... everything is already yours anyway
It was... and so shall it remain eternally... you only need to recognize yourself
Look at everyone...with love and compassion...and then look at me so that...
they too see the forgotten way...
give me your hand... i need you...
i need you to change this world...
Inspiration from some words from a dad... and some thoughts from another dad...
Service through the mind
An Angel asked...mentioning that some great soul had said...
"...we should not (or, was it, we do not need to ?....) send vibrations to the souls with whom we have a bondage... when we focus on our own stage and keep improving ourselves, the vibrations would reach them and they might change."
And the following was the response:
i understand what you are saying... in these matters there are variety thoughts from variety souls... anyway, our stage is what matters most... if we just focus on our stage everything works out well... (when i change, the world will truly change).
Having good wishes for the whole world is our nature... we do not really have to focus on anyone... and when we truly have a very powerful stage and have no attachments, then we can truly serve others souls like Brahma Baba used to give searchlight...
When are stage is not Bap Samaan, we only prolong our attachments in the name of service... why should i serve only one soul... why not the so many more souls who are in the same plight... it is just attachment is it not? We are attached to bondages, to old sanskars too...even though we think we don't like them... actually, we can't bear to separate from them... that is why they continue to trouble... Baba says, if you let go... you will be free.
Copying Baba's actions are easy, but not useful unless we copy the intentions and preparations and the stage also...just some thoughts...
