Purify Yourself

Aum Sairam

May This Thursday [Baba's Day] Bring You Strength, Goodluck, Success, HappinessAnd Joy.

Jealousy often disturbs peace of mind. Are you jealous of somebody? Jealousy is a canker. It is incorrect to imagine that A has blocked your promotion in office or that B has ruined you by competing in the same business. Again and again remember: no one can make or mar your career. Your career and your life are shaped by your previous Karma. If you are destined to rise, not all the world can stop it. If you are not so destined, not all the world can help you to come up either. Each man is governed by his own destiny. Each man's life is independent, though seemingly interdependent with the lives of others. Remember this. Understand this point well. Never again be jealous of others or blame others for your misfortune.

May be, you are fed up with your environment which disturbs your peace. Instead of trying to change the environment--the chances are you may fail--change yourself for the better. Purify yourself. As you do this, even the environment that has remained bad for you, may be for years, will mysteriously begin to dance and change for the better. The more you grow in purity, the more congenial and harmonious the environment will become. Do not ask. "How?". Try and experience.

Put up with things. What cannot be cured has to be endured. Endure cheerfully. Learn to live on this Beautiful Thursday [Baba's Day] with a hundred inconveniences, annoyances, and irritations from morning till midnight. You will gain in patience, in inner strength, in will power. You will turn disadvantage into an advantage.
