Internal And External Attachments (Part 2) 

We had explained some common examples of external attachments yesterday. 

Some common examples of internal attachments are attachments to: 

- your ideas, 

- your beliefs, 

- your opinions or viewpoints, 

- your memories, 

- a certain way of thinking

- a particular virtue/virtues or specialty/specialties, 

- a particular power/powers, 

- a particular sanskar/sanskars - either positive or negative, etc. 

Whether the attachment is external or internal, the act of attaching is always internal. e.g. if you attach yourself to your job, you will say my job. Your job is something external, but you hold on to it inside you - inside your consciousness.

Message for the day 27-01-2017

To be merciful means to transform the pain and sorrow of others. 

Expression:

The one who is merciful always has the feeling of mercy and is able to help those who are in need or in distress. Such a person is able to bring about transformation in others too because of his own pure feelings. He is able to put in effort that becomes a contribution for the progress of others. 

Experience: 

When I have mercy for others, I am able to accept their feelings, emotions and behaviour and provide them with the right kind of mental support. Then I am able to give them courage without being influenced negatively with their feelings of pain and sorrow. So my mercy influences myself positively too as I am able to keep myself positive under all circumstances.
