Strength Of Soul

                                                               Day 4

In order to attain strength of the soul there are five terms and conditions:

1. NEEDLESS:
Need means desire or requirement. We need so many things in our daily life like, so many clothes, so many luxurious items etc. Our needs keep increasing day by day, but are we ready to become needless? Desire is the biggest enemy in spiritual life. One mobile is a requirement but wanting more than that is a desire. The biggest strength of spiritual life is learning to say "NO". Do we have the ability in us to say No?


"Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best"


What is have is the mathematics of Life and what we are is the mathematics of spiritual life. In life if we want peace and happiness, we have to learn to say No to the luxurious items and other needs. We have to learn to give charity of the items in our house that are not being used for more than one year.

2. FEARLESS:
When we become needless, we start becoming fearless. Who is more worried and insecure - a Rich man or a Poor man? What is our mentality in this field? One Sadhviji lost her leg within 6 months of her baptism. She was worried how would she walk. The boy asked her to first stop taking all medicines and to take a book and write just one quotation in it," I am fearless as God is with me". He asked her to write it 500 times everyday in her book for 9 days. She soon recovered and was able to walk because of her faith and confidence in God. During rains we are fearless as we have a house to live in, during journey's we are fearless as we have food with us.

"Let us pray not to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them"

We must have the confidence in God and be fearless. There must be faith in God and also involvement.
A river is fearless that it will lose its name after meeting the ocean as she is happy. It is best to leave those things in life that create fear of losing it. Expensive items bring fear of losing them. Being fearless is very important.

3. NOISELESS:
We have to reduce our habit of making noise on any issue in life. We have stop becoming aggressive at everything in the world. A man who gets angry frequently must keep three things in front of his always - Disease, Old Age and Death. Sometime might come when we are not able to hear, walk or see. How will we manage our balance of mind then? We have to learn to maintain peace and become noiseless. We will have to learn to compromise in life no matter what's the case - loss in business or family life. Waves in the sea are seen only from the top and they are not there at the bottom. We have to learn to become noiseless. Just think how much energy are we wasting otherwise!

4. NAMELESS: 
Nameless means not giving top priority to your ego.We consider ourselves Capital I and others as small i.
Relations break because of EGO. We have to learn to lose our ego and cancel ourselves to live a meaningful life. What is our mentality in this?

5. ENDLESS: 
Our love for all the living creatures in this world has to be endless just like God's love which has no full stop at all. We have to love all living beings. Hence we have to learn to be endless in love.
