Steps you can take to learn about your true self

Hello,
When I think about what is the easiest step I can take towards getting to understand my true self, the answer I generally get is that the easiest is not to tell any lies of any kind.
Try to fight the temptation of telling lies for small things like when someone in office asks you "Why are you late?" Try to tell the truth. I found that it is a real stress reliever - like the other day when our boss asked a colleague the question, he replied honestly. "I overslept", he said. The moment he told the truth the tension disappeared and all of us were laughing and cracking jokes about the reason for oversleeping.
It is easy to trick people with small lies like "I am in a meeting, can I call you later" lie we say when we want to avoid saying no to someone. The fact is that the more we delay more the other person dislikes us when we finally say no. He is happier if he gets the feedback immediately so that he can try someone else and not waste his energy thinking about what your answer is going to be.
Saying things which are untrue is ungodly and take us away from our true identity.
Stop telling lies. See how good you feel at the end of the day.
Best regards,
Manoj

ONE GOD - BARBARA STREISAND

Millions of stars placed in the skys
By One God
Millions of us lift up our eyes
To One God
So many children calling to him
By many a different name
One father
Loving each the same
Many the ways all of us pray
To one god
Many the path
Winding their way
To One God
Brothers and sisters there are no strangers
After his work is done
For your God and my God
Are one
So many children calling outloud
By many a different name
One father
Loving each the same
Many the ways all of us pray
To one God
Many the paths winding their way
To One God
Brothers and sisters there were no strangers
After the world was done
Our God, yes your God, and My God
ARE ONE!!!!!

Are you lost, unloved, helpless and defeated

Hello,

Many lives are wasted when man goes through life feeling lost, unloved, helpless, and defeated.

When we feel lost, uncared for and good for nothing we accept defeat. We take the broad path that seems so easy. This is when we loose the opportunity to get closer to the road that leads to God. Our heart is filled with hatred and envy and we forget that this is not the purpose of our life. This is not the real us.

Until we replace the hatred and envy with the huge amount of power and love that lives within us, the God within us we will continue to find ourselves in such an unhappy space.

So the path to God requires us to push out negative thoughts and feeling and allow the positive thoughts dominate our actions. Positive action is Godly action and a sure shot way to getting near God i.e. seeing your true self.

Best regards,

Manoj

WAY TO GOD

"Broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

THE FACT THAT FEW HAVE WALKED THE PATH DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PATH IS DIFFICULT.
NARROW AND STRAIT IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH TOUGH.
NARROW AND STRAIT MEANS SIMPLE AND MEANINGFUL. THIS WILL LEAD TO GOD.
THE FRILLS ATTACHED TO A FRIVOLOUS AND WASTEFUL EXISTENCE LOOKS GREAT BUT THERE IS NO DESTINATION TO THIS ROAD.
I WONDER WHY ONLY A FEW HAVE WALKED THE PATH.
REGARDS,
MANOJ

SILENCE - THE WAY TO KNOW GOD

'THE TAO WHICH CAN BE NAMED IS NOT THE TRUE TAO'

'THE REALITY OF THE FORMLESS AND THE UNREALITY OF THAT WHICH HAS FORM - IS KNOWN TO ALL

MANIFESTED TAO HAS NO OBJECTIVE VALUE; HENCE SILENCE IS BETTER THAN ARGUMENT. IT CANNOT BE TRANSLATED INTO SPEECH; BETTER THEN SAY NOTHING AT ALL. - LAO TZE

IF ANY ONE WERE TO DEMAND OF NATURE WHY IT PRODUCES IT WOULD ANSWER IF IT WERE WILLING TO LISTEN AND SPEAK: YOU SHOULD NOT ASK QUESTIONS BUT UNDERSTAND BY KEEPING SILENCE - PLOTINUS
