Baba spoke today about contentment and how contentment is a sign of perfection. The more contentment we feel, the closer we are to perfection. So check: How is your contentment? Do you feel full? Do you feel rich? Do you feel you have so much that couldn't take anymore and you want to just give? This is the level of contentment we should be aiming for. When you are this content, your happiness knows no bounds and you make others content. What could be a greater service?
How do we reach this level of contentment? You could 'count your blessings', but then that doesn't always remove the little niggling complaints. You could try positive thinking or affirmtions - this will help you get out of a cycle of negative thoughts, but it's not going to fill you to overflowing with peaceful contentment.
The only method I know is to remember alpha and beta - the Father and the home. To remember alpha and beta accurately, you then remember who you are ... that you are a soul ... that you come from an eternal home ... that your Father is the highest of high fathers ... that your original nature is equal to the Father's nature ... that as a soul, with as your Father, you have absolutely everything you need ... that nothing else could bring you any extra happiness. This level of happiness, a happiness that cannot be improved upon, is complete contentment. This contentment frees you from desires, from bondage, from attachments, from ego, from so many things. With this freedom you remain so light, and then, like a balloon that has been released, you will ascend naturally, gracefully in silent splendour.
