Words from the Master

Your mind has become a dead pattern that is constantly repeating ‘what next’.

When you are able to look at things with a wonder-filled attitude, with awe, it fills you with such gratitude and fulfillment because you are not questioning at that point in time. You are not allowing your mind to play at all. You are simply resonating with your heart. It is then that you become a child, and when you become a child, nothing is mundane, everything is wondrous!

That is why children are so beautiful to look at. Their mind is not dead; their mind is fresh and flowing. Society has not yet conditioned their minds with the familiar patterns.

Learn to look at everything with gratitude and awe. Take your own body for example. Just try this small exercise now: Sit down and close your eyes. Just visualize that your little finger on the right hand is cut in a minor accident. Imagine now that your little finger is only three fourths of its original size. There is no other deformity in your body that you know of. You have a perfect body. Suddenly, only your little finger is cut.

How will your reaction be? It will be very difficult for you to digest it. For every simple task that you use your hand for, the little finger has a role to play, is it not? What will happen to you? You might even become depressed.

Now just think, how many people are there in this world with so many deformities. There are so many people who don’t have all five fingers even! From your head to your toe, even if there were a single handicap, you will miss enjoying some aspect of life, am I right?

Just try to spend a few minutes everyday in your room by yourself, touching every part of your body with love, and thanking that part for enabling you to enjoy so many things in Life.

Have you ever thought about your body in this fashion? How much you take your body for granted? How much you abuse your body? Some of us even hate our bodies because we feel it is not beautiful enough. I tell you, if you do this exercise everyday and feel deep love and gratitude to every part of your body, you will see that your whole body and face glow with a new radiance altogether.

Your body responds to your mind. Never neglect it or take it for granted. After all, it is only with your body that you are able to enjoy so many things. Even for you to come here today and listen to this talk effortlessly, you need all the parts of your body to function properly. Is it not?
