Effort & Reward - investing in yourself

Dear All,

We all know that things don't change for the better unless we make some concerted effort in the right direction. This can apply to small things as well as large ones. If we don't know what effort to make and in which direction, then ......Meditate . It's an investment in yourself .

See you tomorrow!

Regards

If you've managed to be first in the queue at any of the Christmas shopping sales  in Oxford Street , then you'll know the feeling. It's the feeling of happy satisfaction at the guaranteed bargain purchase. But TVs, shoes and other purchases give only temporary satisfaction - lasting apparently till just after Christmas :o) . If you want a more long-lasting and worthwhile satisfaction then, as you already know, you can achieve this  better by investing in yourself.

Everytime you make some time to Meditate - 5 minutes in the morning/10 minutes in the evening - and your Kundalini energy goes up,  you are investing in yourself.

According to ancient Indian philosophy, there are four aims of life: 'Artha' (wealth), 'Dharma' (fulfilling your purpose in life/innate sustenance/morality), 'Kama' (pleasure & enjoyment) and 'Moksha' (spiritual freedom). The Kundalini is described in 'Lalita Sahasranama' (ancient text) as 'Purusartha Pradayini' , which means the one that grants these four aims of life.

So any time spent meditating, is effort that will reap reward.
