Loving Treatment

DEEP AT THE CENTER OF MY BEING, THERE IS AN INFINITE WELL OF LOVE. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more love I use and give, the more I have to give; the supply is endless. The use of love MAKES ME FEEL GOOD. It is an expression of my inner joy. I love myself; therefore, I provide a comfortable home for myself, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.
I love myself; therefore, I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people whom I love and who love me, and earning a good income. I love myself; therefore I behave and think in a loving way to all people, for I know that which I give out returns to me multiplied. I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am. I love myself; therefore, I forgive totally and release the past and all past experiences, and I am free. I love myself; therefore, I live totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good, and knowing that my future is bright, joyous and secure. I am a beloved child of the universe, and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.
And so it is.

I love you.

Simple steps to avoid ego involvement
From Anahata Sacred Sound Current

by Swami Kriyananda, from Sadhu, Beware!

If you see others eager to air their views, be generous to them: let them speak. Add thoughts of your own only if you see that those others might be interested in what you have to say.

Many people are so convinced of the merit of their own thoughtsa certainty that isnt always backed by real merit!that even to respond with your own ideas might lower the discussion to a level of competition.

Better, in such a case, to let them have their say. Listen for any benefit you might find in their words and ideas. If you see none (as, lets face it, may often be the case!) show the other person respect, but share the humor of the situation, inwardly, with God.

*

Dont try constantly to explain or define for others gratification who and what you are. Let your actions, and your inner reality, speak for you. Never try, without some good and definite reason, to justify your actions, ideas, or accomplishments. Whatever youve done, give it mentally to God.

If someone scolds you for something you didnt do, you may see some good reasons for letting him know that youre not guilty. If it doesnt really matter who did it, however, you will gain more, spiritually, if you say nothing.

*

Never place yourself mentally in competition with others. Release from your heart any desire you may feel to outshine others, or even to shine at all whatever you do. Do the best you can, always, but give the fruits of your efforts to God.

*

When people fail to credit you for something you did and did well, say nothing. In your heart, however, give all the credit to God. When people praise you for any reason dont accept their praise in your heart. Thank people sincerely, but then give the credit to God.

When someone has a good idea that youve had already, it will help you in the practice of humility to tell yourself, Its the idea that counts, not the person who had it. Reply simply, therefore, Thats a good idea. Lets give it a try.

*

Live always in a spirit of joyful freedom from ego-consciousness. Try not to call attention to yourself. If you want to call attention to some thought, try to be sure in your own mind that your desire isnt based on a desire merely to be heard. Overcome the natural need for self-importance by enjoying your own unimportance!

The important thing is that any thought of yourself should be offered up instantly to God.

~Swami Kriyananda
