VALUE-ADDED TRANSFORMATION
•
The ultimate
happiness and prosperity can come from our being attuned
to the
universal principles. Our behavior and
values
that are not in harmony with the
universal laws take us away
from bliss, beauty, abundance-the primary qualities of the
Latent
Oneness.
• You can reconnect yourself with the
Latent Oneness
by living in the present moment, for only in the 'now' can we take
correct action, for the past is gone and the future has not arrived
as yet.
• Pause before responding to any situation, so that we
respond
consciously from our
viveka and not from our negative
pattern of habits.
• Learn to be
detached. Get
rid of your
attachment
to money, to winning arguments, to your physical form, your assets,
your people, and your past and to the notion that your ideas, actions,
attitudes, values alone are right.
• Develop a general
reluctance to judging people and
situations. Develop reluctance to resist or fight against anything.
•
Surrendering to
life instead of trying to control
it brings harmony within and without.
Redefine your
goals
in terms of giving.
•
Look within. Going within more often to align yourself
with your being through consciously watching your thoughts and actions.
• Discover the
values within by awareness of established
timeless
principles.
Values cannot be cultivated or
imposed for they are there within us; we only have to discover them
and bring them forth.
Values, in fact, stem from clear perception.
A child who never used to wash his hands unless reminded by his
parents, gave up this undesirable habit, once shown his unwashed
hands swarming with bacteria under a microscope. Similarly, anyone
who comes to understand the functioning of the invisible mechanism
that operates the universe cannot think of breaking the
laws
of Nature.
•
Discover the
purpose of your life. Each one
of us is born for a
unique purpose and hence is blessed with
a unique set of traits and abilities. Once
purpose and
values
are identified, a harmonious balance comes in life. We all have
had instances of narrow escapes.
God saves our
life many times—for
a
purpose. And we need to discover that purpose and fulfill
it.
•
Develop awareness of your
values. Knowing our
values is, in fact, knowing ourselves. When we uphold our
values, we shall feel fulfilled.
•
Reexamine your definition of
success. Our
personal
values are greatly influenced by how we perceive
success.
Once we perceive correctly what
success is, the
correct
values often fall in place on their own.
