self observation

When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that strengthens the self. We need to give ourselves a little time everyday at regular intervals.

not be I

Posted by amit agarwal on September 16, 2011 at 7:45am

You can always be successful when there is a desire to serve others.At the end of each day, check if you have done anything for others.

Whatever you do or say, it is you, the soul, who is performing that action through the body. The soul is like a driver and the body is the car. To be in complete control, the driver has to sit in the place where he has access to the controls and also can collect all the necessary information to make decisi
