Success with Six Precious Qualities

Embodiments of love! Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism are present, there Divine help will manifest. In any field, at any time, success is assured to the person endowed with all these six precious qualities. They help you confront various difficulties from time to time and contribute to your all-round well-being. Just as a student must pass various tests and examinations, these qualities are also subject to trials. Such trials are your stepping stones to high achievements. These trials come in the form of losses, troubles, pains, sufferings and calumny. Unfortunately, many students and elderly alike, lack self-confidence and have become a prey to peacelessness because of their involvement in sensual pleasures. Youth, students and everyone must develop self-confidence. In fact, self-confidence should be the life-breath of every person. Develop self-confidence and embark on the journey of life with faith in God.

Baba (thought for the day)

Six precious qualities and how do we remember them? How do we listen and think it over? 

Embodiments of love! Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism are present, there Divine help will manifest.

It does sound good, doesn't it, but we should remember it to make sure that it will be good. We can learn it by heart if we don't remember it and next time when someone asks a question about it, we know how to answer it and we will tell, there are six precious qualities like precious stones, we just have to remember it. 

We ask, how do we think it over? What does it mean to think it over and seeing it in our own life? 

Aspirants are engaged in contemplation of the Lord (Sarveswara-chinthana) as ceaselessly as the waves of the sea; they accumulate the wealth of equality and equal love to all, and are content in the thought that all is the Lord's and nothing is theirs. Unlike the regular person, the spiritual seeker won't easily bend before grief or loss, anger or hatred or selfishness, hunger, thirst or fickleness. One should master all the above good things as much as possible and journey through life in fortitude, courage, joy, peace, charity, and humility. Realizing that tending the body is not all-important, one has to bear even hunger and thirst patiently and be engaged uninterruptedly in contemplation of the Lord. Quarreling at every tiny little thing, losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation, getting angry at the smallest insult, worried at thirst, hunger, and loss of sleep — these can never be the characteristics of an aspirant.

If there is someone answering always on a common mind level it feels like being kind of enemy instead of a gift. It feels like some are waiting to find something, only it doesn't make sense.

Quarreling at every tiny little thing, losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation, getting angry at the smallest insult, worried at thirst, hunger, and loss of sleep — these can never be the characteristics of an aspirant.

That are Swami's words, we think it over, we don't argue about it. Swami is giving us the answer and not we do, but only in using his words. 

 'You and I are we'; first of all we have to get aware why he tells us that. 

Embodiments of love! Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism are present, there Divine help will manifest.

Why we don't learn it by heart to be sure to know always what Baba said as we did with, without enthusiasm, courage, devotion, energy, readiness and sincerity nothing can be achieved, we learned it by heart, because it is always important to remember that all those six qualities should be there it helps to not go into wrong conclusions and here we have again six qualities. 

What we notice in thinking it over that courage is always part of it. 

Aspirants are engaged in contemplation of the Lord (Sarveswara-chinthana) as ceaselessly as the waves of the sea; they accumulate the wealth of equality and equal love to all, and are content in the thought that all is the Lord's and nothing is theirs. 

To think it over without arguing seems not to be that easy if everything we tell is put in question, but if we know what Swami answered, we get out of it without being put in question. It helps to use discrimination, and we should use discrimination first and second to see it in our own life and to go on no matter what obstacles are there third, that is what he is telling us and his words and we contemplate on his words only.

How are we engaged in contemplation of the Lord?

Unlike the regular person, the spiritual seeker won't easily bend before grief or loss, anger or hatred or selfishness, hunger, thirst or fickleness. One should master all the above good things as much as possible and journey through life in fortitude, courage, joy, peace, charity, and humility.

A regular person will not react the same way. We can only deal with the hand we are dealt with?

How do we get the right answer? In thinking over those words, 'aspirants are engaged in contemplation of the Lord'. What is an aspirant and what is not an aspirant, actually in the thought for the day he is telling us who cannot be seen as an aspirant, someone who is losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation and getting angry at the smallest insult and that are again Swami's words and not ours.

Are we aspirants or no aspirants? 

What is the aim of contemplation and thinking over the thought for the day? You call it a gift and at the same time you said that you don't talk with devotees anymore? What is gift and still why is there no echo coming back? 

How do we enjoy a gift when the slightest word we used was reason enough find faults.

It was rather a feeling of someone looking for reasons for contradiction, looking for something to tell that it doesn't make sense and it didn't feel like a gift. 

It felt more like troubles not at all happy about it and doubting it.

Quarreling at every tiny little thing, losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation, getting angry at the smallest insult, worried at thirst, hunger, and loss of sleep — these can never be the characteristics of an aspirant.

These are Swami's words. And we can deal only with the hand we are dealt with, we get the answer when he is present and not before. 

Who thinks it is about arguing? 

After all do we really care? 

In the dream he used the word, 'engaged' and now we know what it means and as it is all based on the insights and inner view it is about contemplation of the Lord in thinking over his words. 

It is his inside guidance and we have to go for it no matter what and it should not be only troubles, it should be a gift actually.

He is telling us what it is. 'You and I are we' is the first step and 'we and he is I', only he is the result of it and no identification with the body and the mind.

He is in his words. 

We can only deal with the hand we are dealt with means in that case, we have to wait to get the answer until he is telling us the answer and in going on we only can qualify as an aspirant.

Aspirants are engaged in contemplation of the Lord (Sarveswara-chinthana) as ceaselessly as the waves of the sea; they accumulate the wealth of equality and equal love to all, and are content in the thought that all is the Lord's and nothing is theirs.

We get the right meaning why he said 'engaged' it gives meaning to the word, 'engaged' and this time it seems to be right, it is the right answer all comes together.
We ask questions without expecting an answer. 

We ask questions because in the question is the answer and not because of argumentation. There is no arguing about it if he is giving the answer and as he is the hand we are dealt with, he is giving the answer.

Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism              are present, there Divine help will manifest.

How do the six qualities manifest? As it is his doing, he did it in the inner view; he did it in the dream, and is that zeal? When is it determination? Because we go on no matter what obstacles are there? We go on if we get an answer or not. 

He is telling us to go on no matter what obstacles are there. He is telling us to see it in our own life and that we cannot understand it if we do not see it in our own life. He is telling us to discriminate and who are we to argue about it?

What is courage? We can also answer in a question and ask why that question instead of having the feeling that it could be about arguing.

What is intelligence?
It is about self-inquiry and we should think it over and discriminate, it is intelligence if we don't argue about it and what is stupid? He said to his daughter in the dream that her father is stupid, he is an example of someone who is stupid. 

What about ability? Is it our determination going for it? Where is the heroism?

We go on asking questions about self-inquiry. We have to think it over and we have to listen to Swami's words and Swami's insights and it make sense, when he is telling us why and what it is and how to look at it to get the right answer. 

Who are you to know if I am a devotee or not? 

He said that he is the man in our dreams and he is there to awake us, who is He?
Maharishi was in my dream, Osho was in my dream, Amma was in my dream, and some other people and it is always a sign in the insight that this situation had to do with that person. He said to follow the inner master. 

There should be pleasure for the mind to contemplate, it is like meditation and it should not be troubles. If it is a gift we should be able to enjoy it, shouldn't we? 

Why we should think we want to argue when asking a question?

We get used to getting no answers and we thought maybe it is better, the other way round we maybe would not be able to do it. Why it should be about arguing, he is also telling us. 

'You and I are we' that is why engaged, it is about being aspirants, we know now from that thought for the day and why I am explaining it, because I am thinking it over.
Or I am explaining it because you don't. 

But after all it means 'we - you and no explanation doesn't matter and me explaining doesn't matter, the only one who does matter is He and he gives the right answer. Together 'we and He is I', divinity, only He is left after all and we know that is the right answer, because he is telling us that it is so.
He doesn't explain in the sense that we wait until we get the right answer and even if that are years of waiting, we wait since years to get that combination of contemplation and aspirant and 'engaged', all put together in one thought for the day, what seems to answer it.

So what is the use of arguing about it, we don't get the answer anyhow by arguing?
If we argue about it we don't get the answer, but if we don't think it over and enquire about it, we also don't get it.

We have to ask questions, it is about self-inquiry. Asking questions is not the same as arguing.
We have to be patient to get the answer by Swami's words and in the insights and we have to be awake and alert to hear it when it is about his words only and if we think, we don't talk anymore and we remain silent and because we don't ask question, our mind goes asleep because our inner attention is not awake enough, because we do not ask questions and we do not see it in our own life, we don't get it. 

We are not alert and awake enough in the mind to get it, contemplation has to stay awake and listen to get the answer.  

We don't know. The benefit in the contemplation of the Lord is inside, we get answers inside, we listen to Baba and we realize that his words reflect the answer we get inside and it does make sense, so we get the answer in listening to his words, but that is not done by not talking to devotees and it is also not done by arguing, both levels are in the mind and the reflection in Baba's words is beyond the mind, it is done by contemplation and we have to understand the difference and what contemplation is.

We quote his words, we listen to his words, we have to listen, contemplation is based on listening to him.

Swami is talking about fortitude, courage, joy, peace, charity and humility, all good qualities. There should be no reason to avoid it if devotees are that great.

Or we take today's thought for the day he mentions six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism and that divinity will manifest, and embodiments of divine love … 

Telling us more or less that we are all not good enough, but those guys as we know from my ex with vampire teeth only taking advantage of it and the long nose demons fooling people, they are family? 

Swami gives the answer if we listen to it. 

Embodiments of love! Where the six qualities of zeal, determination, courage, intelligence, ability and heroism are present, there Divine help will manifest. In any field, at any time, success is assured to the person endowed with all these six precious qualities. 

Thinking over Swami's words is not about arguing, however it looks to you it is not about arguing, it is about contemplation and we should be able to distinguish one from another.
Baba talks about 'contemplation of the Lord' what sounds good and the greatest and the highest and when you listen to that guy, he tells, 'always having someone to talk to', what diminishes Baba's Lila on the level of sense-gratification and to something he never did as he said. 

There is no listening, only silence is an insult and empty Western shoe, it means no talking, it means no care, no love, no sharing.

It is no live, it is dead, emptiness and in the dream was ice only, it is the head only, cut off the feelings, thinking by his stupid attitude he can harm others and not only himself, but he is the one who is left as nothing but an empty Western shoe.

They help you confront various difficulties from time to time and contribute to your all-round well-being. Just as a student must pass various tests and examinations, these qualities are also subject to trials. Such trials are your stepping stones to high achievements. These trials come in the form of losses, troubles, pains, sufferings and calumny.

What is he telling us here?
We have to see it as tests. If we have these six precious qualities, we are okay and it contributes to our all-round well-being, but if we don't have those qualities, we have no an all-round well-being. 

We have to see it as tests and examinations. 

That is why I waited for him to be in the insights and it felt like no possibility to get out of it, there was that test situation and that we have to learn out of everything. 

We had to pass that test and make sure we would not get to the wrong conclusion, but nobody thinks that it can lead to ruin, that he ruined us and that we had to get out of it to not be ruined. The man in our dream definitely leads us to the insight of ruin if we are in such a relationship that takes only advantage of it. 

Unfortunately, many students and elderly alike, lack self-confidence and have become a prey to peacelessness because of their involvement in sensual pleasures.

We also are students and elderly in the mean time and we became prey to it, but was it only involvement in sensual pleasures or being trapped in a test situation?

If someone doesn't care about human values and who goes to divinity only to take advantage of it, he is not thinking over the divine message. In his dream we had to go back to makes peace with him. What was the reason for the peacelessness? 

Was it sensual pleasures or was it the relationship or both, the relationship was based on sensual pleasure, as he took only advantage of it? I guess that makes more sense.

What is taking advantage of it and what is not taking advantage of it?

As he said in our dream, 'you didn't listen, you have to get a divorce' and I am glad he said it, that was ending the test situation. There was no explanation why it took so long, it ended when it ended, but after it had ended we were exhaustet. 

It is 'perverted' it said and what's that we wondered? We are on the level of insights and we never know when we get the answer, we just have to be ready and awake. 

How do we get the answer to the insights, he gives the answer and we have to listen to his words to get the right answer.

It is enervating to remember it and to remember the test to get to the insight that he took only advantage of it. We were in a test situation and trying to learn the lesson to not repeat it again and he just took advantage of it. 

What is his strength, not giving any satisfaction what created a war situation. 

No more the nice guy we thought he was when we met, but a cold blooded vampire with vampire teeth taking only advantage of it and not caring about human values and not about if he is harming and hurting others, he doesn't listen to Swami's message, for him 'help ever and hurt never' has no meaning and he has a long nose of fooling people into something which is not true and telling that he does it when in reality he doesn't.

It was projection when he said after he went into arguing about the house we should take over, 'what have you done', it is like he said, that is happening to you not to me, so he projected it on me. These are signs of an adult child and it felt also like that, he was talking to me like I would be his mother telling the mother that he was not able to take care of it and he felt like that, just helpless. 

He did it, he argued about it and at the same time he felt that helpless that I had to find a way and the lawyer helping us to get out of it with the past TM-background. 

That is when I got aware of how disturbed that was.

He said he doesn't give any satisfaction to women, with other words, no listening, no being there, no talking to him, no positive response, ignoring it and being a pain in the ass and in his mind he thinks that Swami said in the inner view 'engaged', not because he engaged us in the contemplation of the Lord, but to give me a replacement partner, because with him is nothing left but an empty Western shoe. There is no beauty in it and it feels rather like an insult and it is again on the wrong level, telling us that being a devotee and doing our best to live up to it, makes us an idiot exposed to such people like him actually. It is not good, it is bad.

That is the mud hole, based on the standpoint that he didn't give any satisfaction to anyone and of course not to his family and daughter etc., they are first to feel such perversion. He thinks Swami gave us a replacement partner, because he is such an ass and he thinks that is why he said 'engaged' and not because of Baba's words, 'engaged in contemplation of the Lord and that is an all different level. 

It was the same with his daughter, she had to go by his ways only and when I asked him what happened and why she came back that upset, he answered, I don't blame her.

It is diminishing everything on the lowest level possible, we just need someone to talk to and he is empty and a nobody and an empty Western shoe and we cannot talk to him, because he took care of it that he didn't give any satisfaction.
That is not exactly a level of peace and it has not much to do with sense-enjoyment, but with a disturbed guy who doesn't know what he is doing, who tells that he is meditating and he doesn't and he tells he is a Sai devotee and he is not and he goes to the ashram uniquly to feel good, just to take advantage of it and he doesn't care about the divine message. 

He does the opposite and goes anyhow every year in the ashram and thinks he is a great devotee. That much stupidity should be forbidden. 

It is still enervating getting aware of the projection of his own doing into us and being exposed to that            because we have been with Swami.

So everything Swami does is for him only a mirror of his sick attitude of mind of not being able to give any satisfaction and we wish we would never have met. 

Feeling enervated in that sick situation and listening to his words, he is telling that it is all a test, it doesn't feel good actually, it is too enervating to accept it as test and it was about ruin and about the worst it could actually be. We lived that test situation trying to do it right and to learn the lesson and he took only advantage of it. 

But that makes us get back to the thought for the day.

In any field, at any time, success is assured to the person endowed with all these six precious qualities. They help you confront various difficulties from time to time and contribute to your all-round well-being

How do we get to that all-round well-being?

What is the difference between being trapped in a relationship thinking it is a test and the impossibility getting out of it, because we followed that stupid guy into a trap and it turned out it was a trap and there was no way out of it?

What was disturbing that all-round well-being?

I get always again upset by the stupid attitude of that guy using divinity for his own sense-gratification. 

And he said in the dream, 'no replacement partner'. So it must have been an issue if he is telling it like that. It was okay to go ahead when it light blue, no question about a replacement partner, as he is no partner and never has been therefore, there is nobody who has to replace him.

I went ahead in direction of that light blue color in the insight, whatever that means, it is easy to make fun of it, but it means everything with the man in our dream who is there to awake us, there was only that and nothing else, a direction and a light to go for.

And we can destroy about everything on the higher level in putting it in question and seeing it on a lower mind level. 

That he is stupid we know, Swami said it already in his daughter's dream and she was only six years old, the aggravation is caused by getting aware of it how stupid he is.

We went for peace from the very beginning on as it was also the aim in the TM movement and there was really no quarreling going on, we sat down and meditated and we solved problems with meditation. 

He seemed to do and be everything he could to make it impossible.  

Engaged in contemplation is about wisdom, the reflection we find in his words if we listen to him.

It is the highest and not the lowest and if he thinks it is about a replacement partner, because he didn't            listen and he thinks it is just someone else to listen, it is again a mind conclusion and stupid as usual. It is again on a wrong level, it is perverted and sick. 

It is upsetting to get aware of it, but we have to get aware of it.

There is no value if it is not contemplation for the Lord, if it is projected on a wrong level. 

On that level is actually nothing coming back, no echo, nothing but an empty Western shoe and it is indeed not nice to be in touch with someone like that who was once looking like a devotee at the place we had met, but to realize there is nothing left but an empty Western shoe. As he is telling us here, we get to the conclusion, he cannot be an aspirant.

Realizing that tending the body is not all-important, one has to bear even hunger and thirst patiently and be engaged uninterruptedly in contemplation of the Lord. Quarreling at every tiny little thing, losing one's temper, becoming sad at the slightest provocation, getting angry at the smallest insult, worried at thirst, hunger, and loss of sleep — these can never be the characteristics of an aspirant.

'You and I are we', if 'I' am ignored when it is the level it does makes sense, because we should not be on the wrong level, we can accept that, it is about truth but there is that 'we' and we and he … is only He. 

It is about insights and the universal level of divinity and we should not ignore him as well. With him it is different and he is always true and therefore, it is not okay to ignore him as well, because he always does make sense and we should follow him. 

That past and time in the TM-movement when everything felt upside down and the insights have to do with truth and how it ended seems now no problem anymore. There is a way to integrate truth and being able to accept it and also we have to accept right action and we have to understand peace and only if those three things are present, truth, right action and peace, we are able to get the experience of pure love.

It seems kind of incredible it seemed to be such a problem and difficult to understand.
The problem was really to overcome the disturbance in the insight. 

The way it was it always ended in shock when getting aware of it, that was developing and that is why tiredness grew and not the possibility to relax. 

The shame in us was growing and it seems it was present in the insight about a black hole and the fear to lose the mind and the fear to die of tiredness.
It seems it was all contained in the negative insight; it had turned into a problem, but the insight is about truth. It was no more a remedy again ignorance, it had turned into poison, something was totally wrong and it had to do with the absence of the master or the wrong attitude of the leader and he was just an actor. It broke all in pieces and we cannot live from pieces in the relative world and find peace in it. As the master was not present, only pieces were left. 

We have to accept truth and be able to absorb it and it seems it was very difficult to understand, because the master was not present. 

If we actually are not able to accept truth, it is shame developing as a kind of increasing stress circle for our system not knowing where to look for the answer, digging a hole on the wrong level will end with exhaustion, but we will not find the water. 

It was no more the opposite decreasing the stress as it was projected on the wrong level and because the master not present, we get lost in it.

We have to accept truth and that the master was gone only for a short time and the leader was not able to hold the level, it all broke in pieces in no time and on the level of pieces in the relative world we don't find peace.
It seems kind of strange that it took that long to get to the right insight, nothing has changed, but we feel much better about it now. It is about the all-round well-being. 

In any field, at any time, success is assured to the person endowed with all these six precious qualities. They help you confront various difficulties from time to time and contribute to your all-round well-being. Just as a student must pass various tests and examinations, these qualities are also subject to trials. Such trials are your stepping stones to high achievements. These trials come in the form of losses, troubles, pains, sufferings and calumny.
