Dear Friends,

We are living in times when actions taken emotionally can have swift repercussions. It is imperative that we raise our consciousness so that we do not act from subconsciously-driven, hidden agendas.

That is why I am writing and teaching more about karma and giving you tools to help raise yourselves out of living by reaction - for that only adds to karma.

Consider this: all of us have the opportunity to leave a legacy - built from our words and deeds. We build the fabric of this legacy every day. Do you want your legacy to be one of inspiration or exasperation? The choice is up to each of us. And we make those choices with every action we take, every communication we make.

Ask yourself the following questions: Do I pause to think before I speak and then chose to speak with words that inspire and uplift? Can I let go of past grievances and take a neutral path? Do my actions come from a higher purpose? Can I refrain from taking a perceived hurtful statement or action from someone and returning it with a hurtful response from me?

It is important to contribute goodness, light, compassion and kindness, or we will never bridge the divisions growing between so many people. Why hold on to something that caused you pain? Holding on doesn't do anything other than make your pain worse. And returning it with something that causes pain also makes your pain worse.

When people say or do something to you that hurts, often it is more about them and less about you. Now that may take some explaining. In upcoming classes, such as the workshops on April 3rd and April 24th, I will address this in more detail. Suffice it to say here: most people are acting from their hidden agendas, which means the roots of their actions are often as hidden to them as they are to you. Don't believe all communication directed at you is just about you; it is also about them. If the arrow shot at you hits, pull it out and let it go. See the hurt in the other person and, when possible, find a way to help elevate the situation.

You cannot change history. What's done is done. You can, however, change your relationship to that history. If you can forgive and let go, you move a long way toward freeing yourself of pain and frustration and a lot of useless baggage. And the more you free yourself of that baggage, the more you can act (and not react) and chose to become an inspiration to others.

I ask you to meditate on these thoughts, see what may be useful to you, and pass along what you want to others. Your life was meant to be a blessing to all you touch. My prayer for each of you is that you live as the true inspiration your soul came to manifest.

Bless you in all ways always,

To hear Sangeet's message, click on "RealAudio" or "WMA" above. "RealAudio" and "WMA" are different types of audio files. You can click on either one, it just depends on which sound player software your computer has. "RealAudio " requires a "RealOne" or "RealAudio" player (or compatible) and "WMA" requires a "Windows Media" player (or compatible). "RealAudio" tends to be a little more reliable and better sounding, while "WMA" (built into Windows) is more wide spread.

You can't hurt anything by clicking on either one. If nothing happens or an error message pops up, then your computer doesn't have the appropriate software installed. If that is the case, you can get either one of the free players by clicking here.
