Sathya Sai Baba. Supernatural Experiences and Divine Transformation. Book Three | страница 66
What is human effort? The highest effort is to work with awareness. Everything that happens to you today is the result of your thoughts and actions in the past. Everything is born in the beginning as a thought. Any new invention or architectural structure was originally a blueprint.
How to overcome difficulties, suffering, obstacles, and failures in life? How to achieve your creative and social goals? All situations in your life can only be transformed through spiritual awareness and systemic action.
One of the greatest truths about life is that a person attracts into his life not what he wants, but who he is. In order to change your life, you must first change yourself.
Awareness of one's original freedom is an important basis for the further process of spiritual development. Meditate on the truths of primordial freedom:
–
I am free because freedom is my original nature.
–
A free thinker is free.
–
I am originally free, no one can give or take away my freedom.
–
In any situation, I always have the freedom of choice.
–
I am free and I can say “yes” or “no” in any situation, or say nothing.
–
Even when it seems to me that I have no choice, I always have the freedom of choice.
–
Freedom is a state of consciousness that does not depend in any way on external circumstances.
Freedom brings responsibility. Every person is a soul, created in the image and likeness of God. Everyone has infinite potential and is the creator of their own reality. When creating your reality, remember you can only be happy if you develop harmony with other people.
All conflicts arise from an ignorant and false sense of separation. When you develop harmoniously, then all the people around you naturally complement you and the work that you do. You complete everyone and everyone completes you because everyone is interconnected.
You cannot solve difficult situations in your life simply by coming to Sathya Sai Baba and demanding him to solve them while you sit and lazily wait for the outcome. Liberation from problems occurs only when you do deep work on your inner world.
Who am I? What am I? What is my mission in life? What are my talents? What is my purpose in life? Why are my circumstances the way they are? What do I want to do in life? What spiritual and intellectual legacy do I want to leave behind for future generations?
Even if it seems you don't have a chance to realize your creative ideas, try to take at least a few steps in the direction of your dreams. A person who tries to take steps in the right direction and embody their talents receives the unconditional support of the universe.
