We all are in need of healing. The word „to heal“ literally means „to make whole.“ Currently, we are not whole within ourselves; rather, we are divided within ourselves. There is no alignment between our physical/etheric body, our emotional nature, our thinking, the indwelling Soul and the Divine Spark at the core. The Divine Spark serves Divine purpose, the Soul is focused on its evolutionary goal, but the mental body (with its three divisions Superconscious, conscious, subconscious), our emotional nature and physical/etheric instrument all do their own thing. There is a lack of co-ordination, alignment and integration within us – and this lack of unity and cleavage within us is the cause of all our problems, both psychologically, physically and socially.
One way by which we may co-ordinate, align and integrate our instruments with the fire of Spirit so as to heal the cleavages inside of us, is by doing good. When we do good, when we radiate goodness, when we think thoughts of goodness, we release the goodness that‘s inside of us and thus heal ourselves – and the world – from the inside out. Let me explain how that works.
We all have made the experience that when we help someone who is in need, it makes us feel good, isn‘t it? But why does it feel so good to help? When we help with a pure heart and with no motivation for expecting anything in return, so when we give just for the sake of giving, when we help just for the sake of helping, we become a channel through which the energy of goodness can flow. The energy of goodness flows through us and gradually washes away all the hindrances and blocks in our system that we have accumulated over time, and which manifest in our daily life as mental, emotional and physical problems.
One thing we have to learn and will learn in the Age of the Soul, is to think in terms of energy. So when we decide to be a channel for goodness, we call forth the energy of goodness from our Divine core and in this way we release it.
Just like the oak tree sleeps in the acorn, the fully grown Christ (Christ is just another for the perfect expression of divine love) is dormant within us. We awaken the Christ within us by gradually releasing its potential. And one way by which we release our Christ potential is by doing good because goodness is at the core of love. When we do good, we become a channel for the energy of goodness. Said another way, we bring the energy of goodness into our bodies, thereby raising their frequency. That‘s why Sai Baba said, „Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.“ The word „holy“ means „to make whole.“
Being a channel for goodness, makes us whole, because we release an aspect of the potential that‘s dormant inside of us. The oak tree sleeps in the acorn, and the fully awakened Soul and Spirit sleeps in us. Whatever we need is already inside of us. We bring it into our outer life by calling it forth and expressing it.
When we become a channel for healing others, we cannot but heal ourselves in the process as well because the energy has to flow through us. That‘s why, anytime you don‘t feel good, feel down etc., help someone without expecting anything in return. When we serve without expecting anything in return, we learn to serve selflessly. As we learn to serve selflessly, we learn to become group-conscious which is a characteristic of the awakened Soul. When we are all selfish, it means that we are identified with self and that our whole world revolves around little self. Our current evolutionary goal is to become Soul conscious which involves the development of group consciousness. So as we can see, doing good is a discipline to help us become Soul conscious in our brain awareness.
