Benefits of Being Polite
We all believe in the
philosophy that the essence of life is talking. Communicating with others is as necessary as food. If we dont, we tend to
fall ill. Today people are rarely talking.
The art of conversation has almost died down. People just usually
sit and chat in their office breaks about things that are not even worth thinking about. Lets face it; we all are going towards
doom where each one of us is talking to pass/kill time. The art of using communication is no more existing. People are concerned
about others influence in their lives and not about their influence in others life.
It is an unbelievable thing
that an effective communication through polite words can have wonderful impact on you and others lives as well. You can win
the hearts of many people, climb the corporate ladder, have promotions but not have wonderful relationship with people around
you.
The path to a successful life comes thorough the stairs of politeness. An act of politeness can do wonders
that no monetary thing can do. Let us go deep in the art of efficient speaking by these methods.
Talking about
ideas and not people
Its truly said, great minds talk about ideas and small minds talk about people. Politeness
is an attitude of life. Talking about ideas heightens your politeness towards innovations and stimulates your mind too. This
is effective for the speaker and the listener both. To start talking about people you can breathe out all negative energies
about anyone: latest crush, which dress she wears, which perfume she uses, her bad attitude. The idea is that everything you
talk about people usually comes negative. This develops a feeling of self love and comparison at all means. You do not value
your life as much as you do to others.
Using intellect instead of the tongue
Usually people chatter
on at length not worrying about the impact it would have on others. Since people are so occupied in themselves theyd rather
talk about themselves only. This instigates them to speak rubbish endlessly. Have you ever thought how much of an impact we
can have on others by our words? By trying to use our brains before speaking, we will save others sentiments and preserve
a healthy relationship between our near ones.
Avoiding gossip
The one who usually starts a gossip
or backbiting about someone does not know that he is the one to have the last laugh. People who start commenting and spreading
rumors about others usually end up in a muck of politics and bickering about themselves from the other end. Such people should
be avoided at arm's length. Even listening to gossip is as harmful since the listener had the power to listen to negative
communication. This unhealthy gossiping could have been stopped if the listener would have ignored the speaker.
Exchange
of compliments
We should not limit our compliment intake be restricted to our close relatives. People like our
helpers such as servants, cleaners, house maids are those on whom we can count on. Speaking politely to them will ensure that
your day is made. They are the ones who offer your services to make your life comfortable. So we should make endeavors to
enrich their lives by complimenting and praising them.
Look for positive things in negative people
We
all have negative and positive sides. Nobody on this earth has a squeaky clean nature. We all have flaws, however some people
are observed negatively by their rude behavior and we become very judgmental about them putting them in the negative category.
We should understand that people who are rude have their own weaknesses. They do not choose to be like that. Frustrations
at work or domestic front make them act in this behavior. Such people should be offered more help than others comparatively.
Talking politely with them will make a difference in their lives and yours too.
Feel positive about you all the
time
Quite often we do not realize that we subconsciously become negative. Pent up emotions and unfulfilled desires
make us behave rudely towards others and emit negative radiations from the body. Thus we tend to overreact and become rude
and harsh to others in some or the other way. This might demolish the social circle that we have. So politeness in the hearts
at all means will result in polite attitude.
Whatever is rested in your heart is bound to come out in the open
some or the other day. Make sure you have a prosperous life with a polite attitude and selfless love. This will make you immortal
in the hearts of millions as people are going to remember for your polite words and not by your status.
A photographer
once clicked a photograph of ex-president of India, Dr. Kalam with a shawl placed on his shoulder. After the photo shoot was
over, the photographer rudely took off the shawl and walked off. The President smiled. After being asked about his composed
behaviouir, he politely answered that maybe the photographer needed the shawl more than he did, and continued his work.
People
with big positions come and go but it is only their humble nature that draws millions of people towards them. Their polite
words filled to the brim with modesty and love melt the hearts of even the rudest amongst the crowd. By talking politely to
all we can make an impact on others lives.

Dear Ones, Many of you are seeing your fears
displayed by the media. Perhaps you were involved in similar situations in previous lives
so instead of noting the flim-flammery of it, you revert to the fear and pain created by the actions
of yourself or others. Now is not yesterday nor even five
minutes ago. So there is nothing to compare to the happenings now politically, globally, or personally. Even
though events might bring back shadow memories of what happened previously, those events cannot be the
same because you are different, as are the majority of those living on earth at this time. Your fear history CANNOT be repeated. Such is possible only when one lesson
is emphasized, and all participants agree with that lesson. Because fear was the overriding earth lesson
the past few eons, fear touched each of your earth lives over and over again. But that was then. The lesson of now is love. And millions of you have dedicated yourself
to that love lesson with many more to follow. So it is that the fear you now feel personally or globally
cannot reach the same conclusion as was true when the global lesson was fear. Of
course, you might wish to re-address your fears to determine the most loving outcome possible. For that
is what your inner-being is now doing despite your outer fears. Perhaps
you find that thought difficult to imagine for you still believe in some parts of your being that
miracles cannot and will not occur. That the miracle – as you now label anything that is not fear –
of a rapid and loving conclusion to your fears, is not possible for you know with every
fiber of your OUTER-BEING that all is wrong and will follow the fear road instead of the
seemingly impossible love vein so many channels are touting. Such is so because you still relate to the fears emphasized by the media,
as well as those few fears you have rumbling around your nooks and crannies. You can feel all the fear, you wish to feel, but such is no longer
necessary. For your fears are becoming smaller by the day, and your need to love and for
love is expanding far beyond anything you can imagine. The
fears you continue to feel are remnants of who you were, not who you are. A bit like accepting
a new position you do not feel qualified for even though those who selected you to know
without a doubt that you are. So the first few weeks of your new position, doubts creep
into your being until the day you finally accept all that you are and all you are capable
of. Such is you now regarding new you. You
know you are a new being, yet doubts of the reality of your new being creep in at times.
Allow those doubts to be knowing that you are growing into new you and you will have doubts until
you do so. Which returns us to the current global
picture of fear and angst. This fear and angst is a reflection of who you are now,
but most definitely not who you will be. Let us return to our
example of your new job assignment. When you are in fear, every being who questions your
ability strikes to the heart of your fears. In time, you realize that those who
doubt your competencies are wrong. But before you determine that their assessment of
you is not accurate, you have to prove it to yourself. So
it is now. We can tell you that you are fully capable of creating a new life of love for
yourself, but until you trust that fear is no longer part of your new you description, you will
continue to find remnants of doubt and fear. Fear, even though much weaker than your expanding
self-love and global-love, that will circumvent love until you believe throughout your being
that you are stronger, more loving, and joyous than any bits of fear stuck here and there
within your being. You have to prove to yourself that
your new you is your reality. Such will happen minute by minute despite your
tiny fears that all is not right in your world. For your fears will be
overwhelmed by your desire to fully enmesh yourself in love. Day by day, that self-love,
global love is growing exponentially, as your fears diminish. But then, do not berate yourself for any remaining fears. Just know that
they will disappear in short order. All that is required
of you now is to live in joy and love. By doing so, you are not only shifting your focus
from fear to love, you are helping shift the earth to a New Earth bathed in love. So
be it. Amen. Channeled by Brenda Hoffman

The Flower of Flowers
Divine love (or prema) is the flower of flowers. It is the rarest
of all flowers and it is cultivated in the hearts of all devotees. Prema or
bhakti is intense love, or the highest form of devotion to God. It is supreme
attachment to the lotus feet of the Lord. It springs from the bottom of the
devotee's heart. In it there is no effort - there is only genuine, natural,
spontaneous longing to meet God.
Just as a fish cannot live without water, just as the sunflower
cannot live without the sun, just as the chaste wife cannot live without her
husband, so also a true devotee cannot live without God - even for a
moment.
Bhakti or prema is of the nature of nectar. It gives freedom
to
the devotee and makes him perfectly and fully satisfied. It takes him to the feet
of the Lord.
There are three things which are indeed rare and are due to
the
grace of the Lord. They are human birth, the longing for liberation and the
protecting care of a perfected sage.
The man who, having by virtuous actions in previous births,
obtained
a human birth and a good intellect, is foolish indeed not to exert for
Self-realisation. He verily commits suicide, for he kills himself by clinging
to things unreal.
There is no hope of immortality by means of riches. Such indeed
is
the emphatic declaration of the shrutis (scriptures). The scriptures declare:
"Na karmana na prajaya dhanena tyagenaike amrtatva masasuh" -
"neither by rituals, nor by progeny, nor by riches, but by renunciation
alone can one attain immortality."
Mere giving up of objects will not constitute real renunciation.
Dear friends, remember this point well. Real tyaga (renunciation) consists in
renouncing egoism, 'mine' ness, selfishness, anger, pride, desires and
cravings.
- - -
People despise this Kali Yuga. This is a mistake, for in Kali
Yuga
you can attain God-realisation easily; you do not have to do hard tapas
(austerities). Merely singing the names of the Lord and by his constant
remembrance will you attain God-realisation. Wherever there are satsanga (holy
company), kirtan (chanting), svadhyaya (study of scriptures), bhaktas, swamis
and yogis there is Satya Yuga (golden
age). In all ashrams and holy places Satya Yuga prevails. Kali cannot enter
here. Sivananda

Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “A Lesson on Patience.”
Message received by Lytske.
The Beloved One: “At the beginning of each new day do try to become
increasingly aware of the thoughts which flow from the depth of your mind to
help you set the tone for the day, for it is I — the Pilot of your life — who
truly desires to help, guide and teach you throughout your day. Your request
for greater understanding of matters spiritual is always noted and will be
fulfilled when the time is right. It is a cosmic law and forever true, that
whatever you think about, will eventually manifest through the law of attraction.
I already know about your inner hunger and also of your desires to come closer
to your God within. However, this is still difficult for you as, at times,
doubt still rears its ugly head about my existence in you.
“My promise to you is that your deepest desires for a closer communion with
your ‘God Within’ shall be fulfilled. However, this will be realized only when
you search and are willing to accept God’s leading in your life. ‘How do I do
that?’ is your silent question!
“Dear one, each time you seek my nearness, more doubt about my existence leaves
you. Besides, I know that you desire to feel this in your heart and mind and
not only with your material brain, where preparation is always ongoing,
depending on your willingness to accept a closer relationship with me. This is
trust-building at its finest and please do not hurry this, but have confidence
in the process. You are a fragile human being, and the readiness needs to be
there. You are such a delicate instrument, I do not want you to become unbalanced
or unhinged. No fanaticism will ever rear its ugly head if we take things ‘slow
and easy’.
“Your Master Jesus was never in a hurry, this is the character trait I would
have you cultivate more. Above all things, patience is required as an important
fruit of the spirit. Trust that I am with you always, for when you get tested
it is an excellent opportunity to practice self-discipline to build your faith
and trust in me for I know that your intentions are good. Even when unexpected
happenings bother you and try your patience, know that everything is designed
to eliminate your lack of understanding and to increase your wisdom about the
invaluable lessons learned in the school called life.
“Do not berate yourself when matters don’t go as expected. Just remember, you
are not alone in experiencing life’s lessons. All humans experience these
lessons in their own individual ways and also according to their understanding.
As with everyone, your private Tutor is with you at all times and
unconditionally loves you with an abiding patience and devotion. Life can be so
very beautiful when one is dedicated to seek and practice the Father’s will,
which is always the way with love and forgiveness. All of life’s experiences
point in that direction and the results are truly beneficial for soul, mind and
body, leading to increasing joy and satisfaction about a life well lived.
“You will know because I am the Pilot of your ship and you are the captain. In
rough seas, the captain always listens to the Pilot, in order to avoid the
cliffs of evil and iniquity.”

I am
the satisfaction of your Soul – The Beloved One.

Dear Ones,The
Miraculous energies of May continue for you. The Celebrations have begun. You are Creator Beings – through
your thoughts you Create. May is the Month of the Mother and the energies of the Mother
flow to each and every Child of the Universe. Breathe into and accept the LOVE of the Mother, feel the warmth
of her embrace showering and surrounding you in LOVE. Take the LOVE of the Divine Mother, the Eternal Mother, Mother Earth
and breathe that into your Be-ing. This LOVE is palpable and encompasses all life on your beautiful Planet. May is also the month of Miracles, and once again we ask you to use your creative faculties to bring forth that which
you desire. Place your Intention on that which you wish to create for you, and ALL humanity. Allow your Attention to flow
out into the world of form to bring whatever you desire into manifestation. Manifestation awaits your command! Divine Peace and Divine Abundance is created through your thoughts and attention upon it. Feel into the possibility
of these “gifts” being the only way Humanity will live from this day forward. Hold that image throughout your
day. Your wish is our command. We, in the higher realms of
Illuminated TRUTH align with you and your wishes. Allow your visions of this “higher realm,” higher reality of
PEACE, LOVE AND ABUNDANCE to be all you focus your attention upon. Your thoughts and your actions
will bring these miracles of Peace on Earth and Abundance to all Be-ings. You ARE that powerful
Dear Ones. Time to Re-member WHO YOU ARE. Great changes continue
to unravel each new day and as always it is YOU Dear Creator Beings, aligning with these changes that is
making a difference. These are the days you stepped forward for – have you noticed the synchronicities
exploding all over the Planet and particularly in your own awareness. Signs from above as requested. You are now Re-membering
Home. All that is unfolding will change your history forever. As more
TRUTHS unfold, as they will rapidly now – hold the hands of those just awakening for they will need your strength and
resilience as they begin to understand ALL that they have ever been told is a lie. For
those of you who awakened long ago, you have had time to process information which has allowed you to integrate such over
time. You are therefore requested to walk gently with those who are waking, with a jolt, from a very, very, deep slumber. Hold their hands, wipe their tears, share the knowledge you have gained, but most of all tell them of the magical
times that await them, these are the times you chose to experience. Their initial anger and rage
will dissipate more easily than yours because they have you to seek answers from and they will also FEEL what you say is TRUE.
The ability to FEEL has increased the energy governing the chakras, and so much has cleared which will allow the TRUTH to
resinate in the body more easily. Your ability to just KNOW AND FEEL will increase as the veil lifts for you all. So much has changed and will change for each and every being on the Planet. The evidence of this NEW EARTH can no
longer be denied. Magical times ahead for ALL HUMANITY. Divine Peace, Prosperity, Equality all
that you have asked for, prayed for is now unravelling before each of you. The Celebrations have
begun Dear Ones, as you watch all unfold before you in ways you could have only once dreamed. As
always we stand beside you in Celebration. Magic and Miracles the new order of each new day. And so it is. I AM ARCHANGEL MICHAEL.
