Intentions
“The winds of grace
are blowing – it is you who must raise your sails.”
Rabindranath Tagore
Nurture your Intentions
Here a few recommendations for using intention to the
highest possible benefit:
Set Your Intentions High
Aim to be a saint and a miracle worker. If you know that the
goal of inner growth is to acquire mastery, then plant the seed for mastery as
soon as possible. Don’t strain to work wonders, but don’t deny them to yourself
either. The beginning of mastery is vision; see the miracles around you, and
that will make it easier for greater miracles to grow.
Unmask your false intentions
Unmask your false intentions
False intentions take the form of guilty desires: I want
someone else to fail. I want to get even. I want to see bad people punished.
False intentions can be elusive, but you will notice their existence by the
feeling connected with them – a feeling of fear, greed, rage, hopelessness, and
weakness. Sense the feeling first, refuse to buy into it, and then remain aware
until you find the intention lurking beneath.
Nurture your intentions every day
Everyday life surrounds us in a swirling chaos, and it’s
easy to fall into the grip of our ego’s fears, demands, and confusion. You need
to remind yourself – daily – of your intentions and purpose. Some people find
it helpful to write down their intentions and review them each day; for others,
periods of regular meditation and prayer are invaluable. Find your center and
don’t let go of your intention until it feels centered inside yourself.
