HOW TO BE A WINNER

(The power you have within you)

Baba said, "think and meditate on them, assimilate them. This is the way of

happiness and contentment" in Sri Sai Satcharitra, ch. III.

Man is a natural overcomer. He has quested ever further into the realms of the

unknown. The secret of success is something we have with us already. It is part

of the toolkit for living, the natural heritage of mankind. Here is a plan in

seven steps which will help you develop the power you have within you

SERENITY

Cultivate a relaxed frame of mind. Say to yourself: "Whatever happens today I

can cope. I have the power to overcome every obstacle and solve every problem."

Always take an optimistic view of live.

UNDERSTANDING

>From your self-knowledge will come a clear understanding of other people. This

will revolutionise your relationships. Ponder the wise words of Confucius: "If

another drinks, does it quench your thirst? If another eats, does it appease

you? Who then shall develop your understanding?

CONFIDENCE

This springs from faith in ourselves and in God. Worry and fear are a negative

kind of faith. Think constantly of your successes not your failures. Think of

the success of others and build up your own confidence. Affirm constantly: "I

can and I will."

COURAGE

All of us have an immense store of courage that can be called up when needed.

Courage has the extraordinary quality of being there when it is truly wanted.

ENTHUSIASM

This comes from caring. It is the inner quality of life that brings excitement

and dynamic activity into everything we do. Many people are cool and

unenthusiastic because they really have no idea what they want from life. Put

yourself completely into what you do. Grow hot about your work – your interests

in life. Your interest and enthusiasm will spread like a wild fire. Enthusiasm

literally means, "being possessed by God."

SELF – ESTEEM

Obviously you will never succeed while you cherish a failure image in your

subconscious. If you expect to fail, you will. Never play yourself down or

accept a low estimate that another person may offer. You are a fine person. You

are potentially great. You are a child of God! Self-esteem is basic for human

happiness. When you feel right with yourself, your feelings will project itself

into your world and make others happy. To raise yourself – praise yourself!

SELF DISCIPLINE

This means from the psychological point of view only one thing – thought

control! Many people are at the mercy of their negative thinking. Go over in

your mind all the things you have to be thankful for , for all the successes,

big or small you have had. Deliberately seek the positive, and see how bright

the day becomes rain or no rain.

There really is a secret of success. It is this. Your health, happiness and

prosperity lie in what you put into your subconscious mind. See that it is

entirely positive. This requires self-discipline, perseverance and patience.

You can emerge a winner!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

In these times, in homes and in society, is seen much unhappiness, quarrels and

confrontation. The basic reason is that, though people demand their rights,

they do not discharge their own duties.

(Amrta Bindu, #60)

Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya .....

Question: I wish to get Sakshatkara (direct realisation) of Sri Krishna. What should I do to get it?

Sri Ramana Maharshi: What is your idea of Sri Krishna and what do you mean by Sakshatkara?

Questioner: I mean Sri Krishna who lived in Brindavan and I want to see him as

the gopis (His female devotees) saw Him.

Sri Ramana Maharshi: You see, you think he is a human being or one with a human

form, the son of so and so, whereas He Himself has said, ‘I am in the Heart of

all beings, I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all forms of life’.

He must be within you, as He is within all. He is your Self or the Self of your

Self. So if you see this entity (the Self) or have Sakshatkar (direct

realisation) of it, you will have Sakshatkar of Krishna. Direct realisation of

the Self and direct realisation of Krishna cannot be different. However, to go

on your own way, surrender completely to Krishna and leave it to him to grant

the Sakshatkar you want.
