Don’t Waste Your Patience !

Someone may relate some news to you once and you enjoyed that very much because it was something new. Sometimes it happens that you listen to them once and so where will they go the second time? They will come to you. You became a dustbin for them. Whatever such news they have, they will come and relate that to you because you listened to them before. Otherwise, explain to them and liberate them from such matters. Do not increase your interest by listening to them.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !!

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

~Hal Borland

A New Year’s Prayer

Dear Lord, please give me…

A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

A work to do which has real value,

without which the world would be the poorer;

A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;

An understanding heart; A sense of humor; Time for quiet, silent meditation;

A feeling of the presence of God;

The patience to wait for the coming of these things, With the wisdom to recognize them when they come.

Amen.

Fill It with Positivity...!!!

Affluent societies have put huge effort into improving physical facilities, but our minds have suffered neglect. Increased levels of negative states such as anxiety, addiction, irritability and depression have accompanied burgeoning desires. As well as undermining the health of individuals, these negative attitudes and emotions harm society and the environment by causing a loss of fundamental values in our actions. When we feel sad and empty inside, we become part of the problem. We comfort ourselves by blaming others and circumstances. Instead we have to learn how to make our mind strong. That means fill it with positivity.

Good Qualities leads to Pure Thoughts...!!!

Cheerfulness comes from a sense of well being and contentment. It is a high quality, but it does not always stay with us. Thoughts of envy, worry, anger and hatred enter the mind, and cheerfulness vanishes. To maintain a "smiling face" we need to focus our attention only on the good qualities around us. When we see bad qualities we retain the defects of others and it poisons our intellect. When we see good qualities then our thoughts will be pure, our action elevated bringing with them a sense of contentment and joy free from a poisonous atmosphere.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Establish Relationship with God...!!!

The sign of a great man is his accuracy. The means of achieving accuracy is setting up a time-table. Time-tables are for busy people, helping them do the work of five people. When you find there is so much activity, so much to be done, set your own time table. This helps to achieve success. At times some may feel that although they have been successful in many activities and achieved a lot, there is no sense of achievement, no satisfaction - and the soul searching questions start originating. Each individual will find his answer, his place in the tree of life if they can establish a relationship with God the Father. When setting your time-table, perhaps you can put in a few moments to be spent with just you and God, your Father and enjoy a sweet relationship with Him.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Connecting to Inner Positive Qualities...!!!

When we are under the influence of our weaknesses and tend to use them during pressurizing situations, we are not able to experience freedom. We feel bound by the difficult situation and so are not able to express all the positive qualities that we have. We need to make a practice of connecting to our own inner power constantly. For this we need to keep reminding ourselves again and again of this power. Then during difficult times, these qualities will be available for us in order to be free from the influence of situation and to have a positive influence.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Maturity Helps To Accumulate Fully !

The virtue of maturity enables you to move forward a great deal. If you let something out, you may think that you have done well in doing so, but in fact, you have halved its benefit. You have halved its fruit and only accumulated half the benefit. Those who are very mature accumulate fully.

A Victorious Intellect Does Not Boast !

A victorious and faithful intellect will never speak about its victory. He will not complain to others by saying," You see. I was right"! To complain in this way, or to speak about it, is a sign of emptiness.

Inculcate Pure Thoughts !

Transformation Of Life!

The transformation of life means that thoughts, sanskars and relationships have all been transformed, have become new, new actions.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Registering The Accounts Of Life !

Today, just remember one word with your mind-new. whatever thoughts you have, whatever thoughts you speak , whatever actions you carry out , just check this, Remember: Is it new. Start this register of accounts from today.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Every Soul Is Important !

Every soul of this world is special. Every soul is a self-sovereign, a king. Every soul wears the tilak of remembrance, the eternal tilak, the tilak of self-sovereignty, and is seated on the heart-throne of God.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

God – The Fortune Maker !

The children with clear lines, will experience themselves to be fortunate in every action. At the same time, their face and behavior also gives others the experience of their fortune. On seeing such fortunate children others say, "these souls are most fortunate; their fortune is constantly elevated.' So ask yourself,"Do I have the experience of being the child of Bhagwan" (God - the fortune maker) as I perform every action.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Don’t Blame Others !

Sometimes due to arrogance, one's own mistake is blamed on others. As time passes, in order to protect oneself, the soul continues to blame others. Result, the most bitter bondage of the mind is “the intellect is locked".

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Intellectual Thoughts !

The foot of the intellect never touches the mud of this old world that is the intellect never becomes dirty.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Intoxication Of Happiness In Life !!!

Waste thoughts are drawn by others and the soul becomes trapped in external bondages. Faith will not just be intellectual; the soul will be able to experience it in the clear spiritual intoxication at every step of its actions. Faith in the intellect means intoxicating happiness in life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

God’s Love !

You swing in God's lap; lost in love and remembrance. It is as if you merge into his lap, merge into god's remembrance and become lost in His love. This spiritual love enables you, in a second, to forget the pain and sorrow of many births.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Don’t Look Down Upon Others !

At the time that you create a thought check and see if there is also the thought "I will try" or "I will do as much as possible", or ," others have these weaknesses also". If it is so, you are mixing sand in the foundation and that is why the foundation is not firm. It is very easy to look at others but it takes effort to see the self.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Victorious! Move Away From Waste!

The one with faith in the intellect always remains at a distance from waste. Whether it is waste thoughts, waste words or waste actions. To move away from waste means to be victorious. It is because of waste that there is sometimes defeat and sometimes victory. If waste is finished, defeat is finished. The ending of wastefulness is a sign of victory.

Attaining Liberation !

On the one hand thoughts are powerful, but there is slackness in words, or words are powerful but actions become slack. The method of attaining liberation is to make all three powerful simultaneously, to make all three spiritual.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.

I have always thought of Christmas time as a good time;
a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time;
the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year,
when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.

Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart,
a wide open heart that thinks of others first.

which has transformed all manner of hearts for almost two thousand years...
Underneath all the bulging bundles is this beating Christmas heart.

Whatever doubts assail us, or what fears,
Let us hold close one day, remembering
Its poignant meaning for the hearts of men.
Let us get back our childlike faith again.

-- Grace Noll Crowell


Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer,
but always it will be a day of remembrance,
a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

Experience The Faith In The Bestower !

An intellect that has faith will never experience loneliness during a task. There will not be the thought that everyone is on one side and I am alone on the other side.

There will be this natural experience.

Be Independent,Yet Loving

The root of suffering is attachment. You have created a space in your mind that holds a person or object as a part of you. When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not there with you, you feel pain in your mind and you experience a sense of loss. If you want to remain happy at all times, you must learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Daily Romantic Quotes for You.

Befriend Yourselves !

Positivity means there is no waste. It is through this practice that energy is actually created rather than lost. Negativity drains the power of the soul, making it completely empty within. The result of this emptiness is sorrow and anxiety. Why would someone hurt another, commit suicide, kill someone? It is because there is a lot of sorrow within. When someone is thinking very negatively they create fear in others. Some think negatively and create fear in their own selves. You have a choice; to become your own best friend or to become your own worst enemy. Look after your minds well, pay attention to it and you will become your own friend.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Be Free From Desires, Be Peaceful !!

Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have, the more fear there is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it, you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Path Towards Success !

By engaging our intellects and living by our highest values we will maintain control over ourselves and by extension, the choices we make in relationships. So when the unforeseen occurs our faith and strength gained from living our values will guide and protect us. Though our destinations, vehicles as well as the roads we traverse may all be different, remember however, the rules of the road are the same for us all. Therefore, HOW we drive is perhaps the key to an enjoyable journey.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Praise The Nature !

Leave worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky and the colour of the flowers, the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the Sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. The greatest wealth is to appreciate what we have and what we are.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Finding Peace Helps Remembering God !

Now it is time to go beyond words into silence and experience the timeless beauty of peace. In this state of consciousness, the individual soul can move out of the limited moment and meet with the Supreme Soul in the land beyond time. Just a few seconds of this eternal and unending stage stays with us a long time. We can return from that consciousness and bring back the experience of timelessness. We can recall it any time we choose, for then remembrance of God becomes easy and natural.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Always Check Your Thoughts...!!!

If your thoughts are waste thoughts, then your other treasures will be automatically wasted. If your thoughts are of waste, what would your actions be? What would your words be? Of waste! The very foundation of actions and words is thought, and so check your thoughts. Do not let them loose.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Do Things At Right Time !

Knowing the value of time, we can create extra moments by not wasting our precious time. We need not throw away our time in trivial, wasteful thoughts that distract and divert us or squander our time in careless words that cause sorrow or harmful actions that - as time turns around - return to cause us regret and demand recompense. We can make a great saving by bringing all the worries and waste of time gone by to a complete finish, by putting a full stop. We need not make ourselves any more promises of action tomorrow, But instead - do it now. For if not now, then never.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Begin Trust Building At Home !

In any relationship trust is the first thing to leave and the last to return. And if you recognize that the most important relationship is with yourself, then perhaps it's time to start some trust building close to home. Make and keep a promise or a commitment to yourself, however small - in fact, start very small! Make one and keep one today, and then notice the surge of inner power as a result. See how much more you like yourself as a result. Trust is being built.

~Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Awareness Of Time !

To keep a constant awareness of the present moment is to befriend time, to be ever-ready for anything the next moment may bring. Time does not wait for us, so we need to be alert and keep pace with it. In silence and stillness we can step out of time, observe with detachment what has passed, what is happening and what is to come In that moment of stillness when time is still, we can connect the consciousness of the soul with the Supreme Soul. We experience the deep satisfaction and bliss of timelessness, a moment of connection beyond time. A taste of eternity. And with this awareness, we return and step back into time and into the story to play our own part.

Blessings Are A Boon !

'Blessings are not valued until they are gone.' So much is overlooked and so much of our actions are automatic that it is as if nothing special ever happens. Nothing stays the same. The situations we find ourselves in today can change in the twinkling of an eye and the freedom and amenities we took for granted can disappear. We need to stop and count on blessings and see how fortunate we really are.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Precious Time !

To become masters of time we may learn lessons of how to appreciate the preciousness of time. As with any valuable commodity we can practice how to save and spend it wisely. We need to look straight into the mirror of our hearts, to see clearly the purity of our thoughts and actions. Time to ask ourselves, if time were to end now - is my account with all settled? Have I developed peace with myself? We need to spend all time with God, to turn our minds constantly to the remembrance of God, so that we spend each moment in a worth while way.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

A Smiling Heart !

Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendship and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Value Of Time !

When we learn the value of our own time, we give natural regard to the time of others. Promptness reveals royal manners, and punctuality is the practice of princes. With masterly understanding of time, we can lovingly show tolerance to young people who have only had a little time, and patience to older ones whose bodies have served them a long time. We can learn such patience and tolerance from the example of God, our own father.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Make The Best Use Of Present !

The gift of time that can always bring us happiness is the present moment. In remembrance of God and full consciousness of the present we have power over time. We have determination to say " I will do it now". There is no telling what time is going to bring. No knowing what will happen in the next moment. No guarantee for life. So to live each moment with all accounts settled, all duties done, everything completed is to truly live in this moment now. The ever-present company of God reminds us to make the best use of the present.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

God's Love Helps Us To Change For Good!

Even if we are liberated from time past, we can create imaginary chains in the future. We cannot enjoy contentment in the present when chasing the next desirable thing. We say "I'll be happy when...", "if only.. ". Fear and false forward-looking steals from our present happiness. With faith and determined effort we can make changes in the present that shape our future. The future is a house we build today, but cannot live in till tomorrow. God's love gives us the courage to see ourselves clearly and change ourselves now.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Leave The Past And Go Ahead!

Time only moves forward. It leaves the past behind. Yet we forget to move forward, out of the past. Disappointments, might-have-beens, old sorrows stack up in our consciousness. We store files of old memories, returning sometimes to open them. To be liberated is to switch our minds from these duty old files in a second. God's compassion helps us deal with the past. We can take a tip from time - leave the past where it belongs .. in the past.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Precious Gift : Time

If we think of time as a gift, we know it is precious, we know it is powerful - but perhaps we think we have been given only a limited fragment. Each life limited to a number of days, priceless, but finite. A greatest gift is to know that we have time without end, that we can learn to master time itself. In silence and stillness we can step outside the bounds of time and know its three facets: past, present and future. Not only our own story but also the history of the world. We come to understand the great turning truth of time.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Talk To Yourself....

Your internal dialogue establishes your way of seeing the world. When you make demands on and reproach yourself, you create a world of stress and pain. To be peaceful, create a loving dialogue with yourself, enabling your inner values to awaken and be expressed regardless of your external world.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Father Of All Souls!

We should ask ourselves, do we react to situations in a positive or negative manner? The way we react is very much dependent upon our mental attitude and this in turn is directed by our thoughts. Linking our thoughts to the problems that surround us brings unlimited tension and worry. By linking them to the subtle and powerful vibrations of the unlimited source of peace, tranquility and knowledge that is, God the Supreme, we automatically have a constant source of good uplifting vibrations which can settle our troubled minds. He is the Father of all souls, the one who is there to give help at any time. In a time where our thoughts wander with little or no direction, where we find it difficult to talk or relate to people, it is worth remembering that God, who understands us, is only a thought away.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu,

Leave Your Ego Behind!

One of the most difficult things to do is letting go of your ego. And yet, it is very simple, easy and effortless and one of the most powerful things you can do. And yet, when you do it you give up the need and the desire for power. When you can bring yourself to get beyond your own ego, you raise yourself to a whole new level of awareness, experience and effectiveness. When you can think, live and act unconstrained by the limitations of your ego, the possibilities are truly endless. Your worries, your fears, your doubts, anxieties, disappointments and hesitation to move forward are all sustained by your ego. Imagine the power of leaving all those limitations behind. Spend a few minutes, a few hours, or an entire day unconcerned about what others will think, or what's in it for you, or whether something offends you or not. Feel the freedom, delight in the ability to accomplish, and explore possibilities that you may never before have even known about.
Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

'Bliss' And 'Bless'

There is only the difference of the letter "i" between the words 'bliss' and 'bless'. When we stay in bliss then we naturally draw the blessings of others. We don't need to ask for the blessings, they just come. However, if our nature is even slightly sensitive we will either clash with others or get caught up in them. Clashing and getting caught makes the soul distressed and tired. Become free of these and you will feel that your hands are no longer tied and so you can give. Those who are free can become 'phool' (flowers). When we are not free we either prick others or we get pricked by others.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Standing Watch !!!

We have one Angel standing watch above us as we sleep...

Another gathers up the hopes and dreams we wish to keep

One Angel is the tiny voice that whispers in our ears...

With words of love and comfort to conquer grief and fears

We have so many Angels with one friendship keeper too...

Another just to help us mend the thoughtless things we do

We have a Guardian of Love who protects our Destiny...

And helps us with our soul mate with whom we are meant to be

We have a host of Angels that keep us company...

In order that we may become the best that we can be.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Changing Life!

When you are aware and accept that everything around you is constantly changing, and that you have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able to embrace change like a close friend! Change is a like a river, constantly flowing and moving things around. The river of life is constantly bringing you ideas, people, situations - each one is an opportunity to be enriched or to enrich others, to grow and to learn. Change is the play of the universe as it entertains us in the biggest light-and-sound show of all time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stay Away From Desires!

Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have, the more fear there is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it, you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

Mind : Our Best Friend Or Our Worst Enemy!

It is said that the mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. At every moment we have the opportunity to choose our company; thoughts which bring oxygen to the spirit or those who bring pain. If I am loyal to myself, I will continually strive to go back to my inner core of positivity. Again and again, I will be patient and loving, and increasingly my mind will reside in this positive inner truth. When I am able to be loving and loyal to myself, I can then help others in this same unconditional manner.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Open Your Mind!

The mind is like a parachute - it works best when it is open. How quickly we make assumptions, jump to conclusions and close our mind. How easily we form and hold fast to our opinions and then close our mind. How fast do we make a judgment, slap on a label and then close our mind. A closed mind never knows the delight of playing with possibilities, being enlightened by others point of view or enjoying the diversity of human life. An open and understanding mind never assumes, doesn't jump to conclusions and won't hold fast to any opinion. Perhaps it is no wonder a closed mind is not a very relaxed mind.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Help The World To Live In Peace!

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

~Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In Oneself.

When we are confronted with a difficult problem, we sometimes get dejected, lose faith in those things that sustained us, lose faith in the self. Our speech patterns may change, emotions are jagged and our actions are questionable. We become unstable - quite different from what we would like to be. If we remain stable in the remembrance of our true identity, if we always keep in front of us the image of our more elevated form and we understand that we are masters of our own fortune or misfortune(as you sow so shall you reap) obstacles will never shake us. If we are fortified from the inside, in face of the outside happenings we remain ever stable, ever secure, ever sure.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Purity Reflects Our Inner Strength

Purity means the complete control over mind, speech, body and action. One's appearance, personality and impressions at any time or anywhere should be leaving positive aura or vibrations by natural means. Simply purity means staying soul-conscious mentally, physically as well as actionably.

Relationship is like a tapestry.

A relationship is like a tapestry. The fabric is strongest where the threads that hold it together are spun of openness, love and trust.

Nature Keeps On Changing!

Nature has order, happiness and sorrow each in their own time. Knowing that all things move in cycles can give hope that what is uncomfortable now may soon change.

Develop Godly Eyes!

Visualize God as one who is pleased to see you. Then greet others with godly eyes, as if you are meeting long-lost and now-found family. Such good wishes can transform any relationship.

Start Each Day With A Positive Attitude!

Make an appointment with yourself at the beginning of each day. When you start with a moment of solitude, even the most crowded of schedules runs more smoothly.

Face Your Problems!

Our society encourages distraction and evasion as a means to experience happiness. But actually this takes you far away from yourself and just postpones dissatisfaction. The true solution is to concentrate on what nourishes the spirit and give you life.

Talking To Yourself!

Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavor. When you make a mistake, do you talk lovingly to yourself in your mind, or do you tell yourself off? One habit recognizes your divinity, the other subtly shapes a nature of sorrow.

Love of God !

Love of God is to our consciousness like a string to a high-flying kite. When the connection is strong, we are free to rise to any height.

Filtering Your Mind!

A clean intellect is like the mind's filter, sorting out thoughts of value from those of waste, enabling you to put into action only the valuable.

A War Sure To Win!

Spirituality seeks to achieve peace of MIND. If we acquire a taste for this, then very little can shake us from that inner throne of peace? Spirituality, is a gentle reminder, that since wars begins in the minds of men; it is there that they need to be resolved. Until and unless one has had an experience of Mercy and Love, then it is hard to go beyond violence. When we begin to explore and discover our innate powers of Peace and Love and the Joy they bring, only then do we discard the path of aggression or violence. We can now exercise full inner control and this is the war we have been longing to win!

Violence Hampers Growth!

Violence is a weakness in the soul; an act of selfishness, self-centered and uncompassionate behavior. It reflects a person or nation or world that has not matured, and is not willing to live its innate, original, highest potential.

Our Actions Depict Our Personality!

As you do, so you become. Every action that you perform is recorded in you, the soul. These imprints ultimately mould your character and destiny. When you understand this principle, you will pay more attention to bringing your best to everything you do.

Meditation Enriches Your Mind With Good Thoughts!

When God walks into your life, it is like a laser beam passing across your being. The light restores beauty and value, even if what is visible at first glance is less than beautiful. Meditation is an invitation to light. Meditation is not complicated. It simply is a means of teaching your mind to think in a different way.

Understanding God!

The easiest way to meditate on God is to picture him as light shining with love, a being who knows the beginning, the middle and the end of your eternal journey through time, understands everything, and accepts you as you are.

Spirituality Is Superior Than Physical Identity!

Your physical identity is a world of limited thoughts, feelings and roles. It is quite apart from the being of inner peace and power that is your spiritual personality.

In Search Of Peace!

The mind that tries to rest only on the surface of things will be tossed about in every storm. Dive deeper, to where there peace is.

Importance of Spiritual Study !

Purifying the soul means putting your highest self in charge. Useless,waste and negative thoughts are removed and annoying habits finished.This is the aim of spiritual study. Recognizing your spiritual identity is like being reborn.

Courage : A Path Towards Uncertainty!

Courage is taking a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, trusting that whatever help you need will become available.

Be Merciful !

Mercy is the quality that sees the inner need behind the ex-pression. It looks behind anger and sees the sadness, behind coldness, the fear.

Power of Positive Quotes !

Through our thoughts we are either gaining power or losing it. Positive thoughts generate power, negative ones waste it.

Explore Yourself !

There is a part of you that is perfect and pure. It is untouched by the less-than-perfect characteristics you have acquired by living in a less-than-perfect world. This part of you is a still and eternal pool making time to reach it will bring you untold benefit.

A Journey To Success!

The sign of wisdom to be able to set goals and then, having done so, to let them go. All that is required for success is a vision of the destination. The journey itself will reveal the means that will take you there.

Don't Be Bias!

Despite appearances, people may be doing the best they can. Think that no one is to blame, and humility in your attitude will enable everyone to move forward. Judge whether your thoughts, words and actions are beneficial to the scene in which you find yourself. Focusing on your own part is more useful than passing judgment on others.

Wishing Good for Everyone...!

Like sunlight, benevolence can filter into the quiet corners of panic in another person's mind and lighten the burden. Giving good wishes to people can produce a positive outcome from even the most negative situation.

A Good Navigator Overcomes Mistakes

Mistakes will not throw you off course unless you let them stop you. A good navigator keeps a sure eye on the final destination, but steers there through a series of approximations.

The World Resembles Your Hand...!

The world is like our hand and its continents like our five fingers. Each finger is different and unique. Yet it is only when they all work together that whatever we put our hand to succeeds.

Know Your Roles Of Life!

On the stage of life, be both actor and audience. Detaching yourself from the roles you play will help you get in touch with the part of you that is not an act.

Self-Confidence Helps To Meet Your Needs !

Self-confidence is to know your way around yourself so instinctively that you always have a strength to draw on. Somewhere inside, from the stillness, you can always find something to meet your need.

Negative Thinking makes you Unhappy !

To remain cheerful, learn how to cordon off areas of weakness. Once you refuse them entry into the rest of your mind, they can no longer influence you. Then you can work on them safely. Wrestling with your mind weakens you. When negative thoughts grab, a hold of you, observe them without judgement and they will loosen their grip.

True Players!

Learning and teaching are players in the same game. If either one stops, everything becomes heavy and ceases to be fun. Learning is the reward for respecting life and teaching is the fruit of experiencing life.

Nurture Your Mind ...!

A mother teaches her child with love and patience until the child learns. Be a mother and teach your mind to have positive thoughts and to let go off worries. Then when your mind most needs peace, it will obey you.

Refrain From Unwanted Thoughts !

The greatest bondage of all is waste thoughts of the mind. The power of the mind is special. Waste thoughts weaken the power of the mind. Be free from this bondage. Someone who is burdened will move slowly. One who is light, will always move with intense speed.

Satisfaction Is The Utmost Happiness!

Many believe that happiness is achieved through material wealth. It is true that it gives a temporary sense of well being. A rich person is not someone who has more but someone who desires less. Happiness is the result of total appreciation of all that life gives you at every moment.

Practice What You Say!

Your words might impress others. People will say "He is a good speaker. What interesting things he says". But if you don't practice what you say, others will not feel inspired to do it. It is your actions more than your words which will inspire and show them how to do it.

Bring In Your Best!

As you do, so you become. Every action that you perform is recorded in you, the soul. These imprints ultimately mold your character and destiny. When you understand this principle, you will pay more attention to bringing your best to everything you do.

Value the Strength of Others !

When you notice weakness in another, aim instead to recognize a strength. The awareness that everyone has value will allow you to shift your focus. Find atleast one good quality in everyone, no matter how many defects are visible to you. The more you focus on the good, the more power you give to people and the sooner they will be able to change.

Illness - A Chance To Recover

Illness is a chance to teach the mind to remain independent of physical circumstances and thus to connect with our inner resources. Experiencing these qualities is a powerful medicine.

Meditation Solves Your Problems!

Though the mind often asks for what is visible or material, its needs are deeper and cannot be met by anything superficial or short term. Meditation leads to a meeting point with all that is true and eternal.

Be Cooperative, but........

Being cooperative requires invisibility and precision. Help without splashing your name on the achievement, and leave without waiting for the results.

Think Positively!

When you build a house, every brick counts, when you build character,every thought counts. Your thoughts create your feelings. To save yourself from useless and painful feelings, don't think about useless and negative things. Make every thought you think worthwhile and constructive.

Experience God's Love!

Imagine God as one who sees only the best in you. If you hold yourself to that vision of your own perfection, you will become merciful towards your faults and will be able to easily correct them. One basis of self-respect is the faith that someone loves you. Experiencing God's love empowers you to start loving yourself.

Inner Peace Is Required To Be A Peacemaker.

The first lesson on the path to becoming a peacemaker is to stop being at war with myself. In meditation I can retreat into the inner sanctuary of the soul and enjoy the tranquil flow of loving thoughts passing through my being. Only when the turbulence of my own mind has subsided can I make peace with the world. When I have developed some degree of inner peace I can hear the voice of my own wisdom and know how and where to give energy for the greatest benefit.

True Determination.

Battering at life from the outside, trying to change only what is visible, is inverted determination. When the quality of mind - peace, happiness, depth, purity - can remain still and uninterrupted by the bumps of life, that is true determination.

Have A Positive Approach Towards Life!

When we are faced with pressures, deadlines and troubles we must resist the urge to worry and flit from one thing to another, or to get irritated or blame others, which would just drain our energy. Instead we should try to create a loving attitude towards ourselves and our situation as this will energize our spirit. A kind compassionate approach to life helps the mind to stay clear and focused and takes it to a higher level of spiritual intelligence.

Self-respect Is Important!

Self-respect is not a matter of what you are doing in your life, but rather of how you are doing it. It requires that you bring quality and virtue into each action, whatever that action may be.

Embrace The Changes In Your Life!

The journey of life is one full of changes. Life means change, movement and growth. When the storms of change and inconstancy are swirling all around us we need an inner eye of stillness and stability. This will give the inner strength to cope with the new and different situations that come to us and provide a platform of clear decision-making and powerful thoughts. Anchored in the eternal and unchanging truths of spirituality, we need not resist change but can embrace it.

Learn To Be At Peace !

You spend most of your life running after things, doing things. You forgot that being comes before doing. Those who remember this secret make an effort to "be" and discover that when they stop and observe, life helps and brings whatever is needed. Learning to be is learning to be at peace. It is our most fundamental nature.

Judge Yourself First !

Judge whether your thoughts, words and actions are beneficial to the scene in which you find yourself. Focusing on your own part is more useful than passing judgment on others.

Manifest your Qualities !

Sometimes you must burrow to find the good qualities in your nature that have gone underground and then coax them to the surface. Stopping for a moment and being silent can bring the steadiness you need for this task.

The River Of Human Life!

There is in each of us an underground river whose course cannot be daunted. When the surface of life undergoes upheaval, the river changes, flows around, but never dries up. The strong currents that make this river are peace, love and spirituality.

The Peace Of Spirituality !

Values are related to each other as if they were members of a great family. From peace and happiness emerges inner joy. From this state of wholeness love awakens and with it the desire to share and give. Two of its relatives are tolerance and respect. All values have a shared origin which unites them - the peace of spirituality. When you lose eace you begin to lose everything.

Responding Positively To Opportunities.

Worrying about how everything will get done or whether we are capable of doing it, limits our ability to respond to challenges considerably. The less we think about doing something and the faster we just get on with it, the fewer problems we cause ourselves. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating is a major drain on our energy. The more willing we are to respond positively to opportunities, the more our capacity will grow.

The Power Of Gentleness !

To be of real help without taking root in someone else's mind requires great gentleness. See and understand without either willfully interfering or creating dependence. Gentleness is not lack of strength but a quality which doesn't disturb, doesn't push, yet knows its own power.

Self-Transformation Through Patience And Perseverance!

The process of self-transformation is not a 10-yard dash, but a150-mile run. Patience and perseverance makes the journey possible. It keeps you cool and calm. So pace yourself.

All For the Best !

Sweetness is a virtue that searches for the good in every person and situation. At its heart is the conviction that there is always something to be found in everything. You have to have the patience to discover it.

What has happened before was good, what is happening now is even better and what is yet to come is the best.

Worthy Of Success!

Before we get any kind of advancement or promotion in life, we need to have earned the right to it. There are no free gifts in life, nor are there any short cuts to success of a lasting nature. Being worthy of any kind of responsibility requires an attitude of service to others. We earn a right only when we have given cooperation to others from our hearts.

Faith Makes You Stronger !!

Faith means that there isn't the slightest form of doubt in any situation or at times of obstacles. Situations have to change and they will continue to change. The supports that your faith has now will be removed, and even after that your foundation has to be strong. If your foundation is not strong, then supports are necessary. Therefore you need to maintain your peaceful, loveful state and your love and faith for God has to remain unshakeable.

Silence Is A Virtue

Going into silence enables you to manage your thoughts better. You will find there is no need to think so much, that most of the answers you are looking for will come to you, without much effort on your part.

Honesty Is Being True To Ourselves !

The more honest we are in our dealings with others, the more we are trusted. Honesty is very deep. It is common for people to say one thing and feel another, which, of course is not honesty. Honesty is only possible when we check our conscience and remain true to our highest values. Making our heart honest in this way brings the blessing of being deeply trusted by others.

God : Our Saviour !

We should ask ourselves, do we react to situations in a positive or negative manner? The way we react is very much dependent upon our mental attitude and this in turn is directed by our thoughts. Linking our thoughts to the problems that surround us brings unlimited tension and worry. By linking them to the subtle and powerful vibrations of the unlimited source of peace, tranquility and knowledge that is, God the Supreme, we automatically have a constant source of good uplifting vibrations which can settle our troubled minds. He is the Father of all souls, the one who is there to give help at any time. In a time where our thoughts wander with little or no direction, where we find it difficult to talk or relate to people, it is worth remembering that God, who understands us, is only a thought away.

Be Optimistic! Be Cheerful!

Protecting our sense of optimism is the best way to remain cheerful. We can do this by starting the day with meditation to pourlight and love into the scenes we are likely to find ahead of us that day. And then if we keep touching base with God's mind and His benevolent way of seeing things, the inner happiness we experience will help us pass through any situation without feeling weary.

Non Violence - An Effective Weapon

Non-violence is a very deep philosophy. Not only does it require us to harm no one physically, but also avoid harming anyone's self-respect. Such an ethic requires tremendous awareness and sensitivity. When we have learned to be gentle with ourselves, we can be the same with others.

Think For The Best.....

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

Love : So Delicate Yet Very Strong !

They say love is a flower so delicate that a single touch can bruise it and yet so strong as to face the biggest storms; this describes the perfect love, as God has for us. When sustained on faith, it carries us across the most difficult hurdles of life but dies instantly with the touch of impurity (negativity, doubt)... Do we realize that such a love is our birthright as God's spiritual children?

In Search of Love...!!!

All of us want to experience true love. Some of us find it in relationships, others in nature, few in the service of humanity, and a handful in the remembrance of God - the ultimate love. We look for comfort and support in the physical world since the link with the Divine Being has weakened over thousands of years. Having felt His love and power many times afore, we wish to attain and experience God in His complete glory once again.

Blessings are a Boon

'Blessings are not valued until they are gone.' So much is overlooked and so much of our actions are automatic that it is as if nothing special ever happens. Nothing stays the same. The situations we find ourselves in today can change in the twinkling of an eye and the freedom and amenities we took for granted can disappear. We need to stop and count on blessings and see how fortunate we really are.

Self Consiousness Awakens You

Self-consciousness distinguishes you from other animals. It enables you to be aware of your thoughts, feelings and emotions and to understand how they influence your behavior. When your consciousness awakens, you start being truly free because you decide your destiny and take responsibility for your choices.

Develop Your Soul...!!!

People spend a lot of time and energy developing their bodies and making it attractive to other people, but is there ever a thought of developing the soul and making it attractive to God. The body is a physical matter, which will change, age and die. If you have a beautiful body today there is no guarantee that it will remain as such in the future. The soul is an eternal, immortal point of spiritual light. Within the soul there are impressions that form my personality.If I take steps to develop and feed it with spiritual knowledge, my character, my personality will become rich and beautiful. Developing the soul allows us to have full control of the power of thought. The quality of our thoughts determine our own personal degree of happiness.

Be Free From Desires ....

Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have, the more fear there is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it, you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.

Listen To Your Inner Voice.

Your internal dialogue establishes your way of seeing the world. When you make demands on and reproach yourself, you create a world of stress and pain. To be peaceful, create a loving dialogue with yourself, enabling your inner values to awaken and be expressed regardless of your external world.

Attachment Makes You Suffer !

The root of suffering is attachment. You have created a space in your mind that holds a person or object as a part of you. When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not there with you, you feel pain in your mind and you experience a sense of loss. If you want to remain happy at all times, you must learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent.

Learn From Your Mistakes!

When you make a mistake, learn from it, resolve not to repeat it and then forget about it. You will feel better again. Do the same with others, instead of making their mistakes bigger, dissolve them in your mind and help them also forget about them. A sensible person does not criticize the mistakes of others. Instead he learns from them for the future.

Sow the Seeds Today for a Peaceful Life Tomorrow !

Ignorance makes you believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance. What you see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.

Change Yourselves For Better Results!

When you do not upset yourself thinking about how others must change and instead you concentrate on your own change, good things start to happen. You will feel better about yourself. You will start to have positive feelings towards others and start to understand them. Others start having a more positive attitude towards you. There are many hidden benefits in personal change.

Live In The Present, Not In The Past!!

To forgive and forget is to reflect love. Many of us are slaves of our past. Situations pass, they cease to exist, but they continue to be alive in the mind. Open your heart and be generous, free yourself from that sorrow, forgive and forget and you will live every moment in peace.

There Is Solution To All Your Problems.

The best solutions to problems will not be the result of hard thinking. Use your time better by creating peaceful thoughts, and problems will cease to affect you. Do not try to solve everything on your own. Leave some space for God to come and help you.

Start of a New Day...

As you awaken, the first thought is your foundation for the rest of the day. When you open your eyes, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence.

Trust in God

There are times when we find ourselves in the situation where the person we had trusted is found to be untrustworthy. Either our eyes have been opened or the individual has changed. Life is being kind to us and teaching us a lesson that needs to be learnt, but at that time we often forget this. Our vision gets clouded and self confidence shaken. To turn out thoughts to God, the One who never fails, to find strength in knowing from experiences that with God we can press on, is good. However we must not become bitter towards the world. Each one has his or her role to play and own actions to account for. When we harbour feelings of bitterness and hatred we ourselves become cold and our hearts become like iron. Rather we should be thankful for the opportunity the individual provided for us to learn and grow.

Don't Worry! Be Happy!

Worries are an illusion. They make you live in the future, giving you the belief that you are very busy and take you away from the present. Worries are an excuse for not doing what you really have to be doing. A reactive person appears very busy and worried. With worry, no problems can be resolved. A proactive person focuses attention on the present, acts with initiative, and the understanding that being calm and free from worry is far more effective.

Determination And Patience Go Hand In Hand

Determination is the strength that will enable you to pass the barrier of useless thoughts in order to create positive thoughts and to be successful in whatever you wish. It comes from within and its partner is patience. Patience teaches you not to push but rather to wait and appreciate the game of life instead, knowing that nothing remains the same, and everything will change at some point

Attain Peace by Removing Your Ego

The great enemy of peace is ego. Ego makes you judge others and think about them in an unkind way. It makes you force others to do what you want. In this way you forget you are a student and that you are here to learn. Instead of learning, if you start telling people what they should do and try to change them, you are forgetting an important lesson in life, You can only change yourself, not others. You can only hope to change others by being an example for others to follow.

Life Bring Obstacles to Strengthen You.

Often, from grain of sand a mountain emerges. If you want to protect your inner peace transform the mountain into a grain of sand. Life will bring obstacles and difficulties. They do not come to stop you. They can strengthen you and help you progress with more experience. Keep advancing. Sometimes you do not find a solution, it is enough to keep moving forward, learning from and leaving obstacles behind.

Offer Solace to Troubled Minds

The ability to enjoy one's own company is one of the greatest gifts life has to offer. Learning to turn our thoughts away from all our responsibilities at the day's end and take our mind into a state of peace and benevolence enables us to carry greater and greater loads without feeling burdened. When our inner landscape is full of beautiful thoughts, everything we do is a pleasure. Gently, we calm down chaotic situations and offer solace to troubled minds.

Actions More than Words to Inspire

Your words might impress others. People will say “He is a good speaker. What interesting things he says”. But if you don’t practice what you say, others will not feel inspired to do it. It is your actions more than your words which will inspire and show them how to do it.

Powerful Form of Teaching is Example

The most powerful form of teaching is by example. What you see through your eyes creates the greatest impact. The heart accepts it and it does not need many words. You cannot impose peace on any one through force but you can bring this about by being peaceful and creating a peaceful environment.

Humility Is Rare

Every creative task needs humility behind it, for humility is plainness and on plainness the colors and shape of the work are clear to see and mould. If a new world were to come, it would need vitally this quiet basis to form itself on, that could stay the same whilst things were changing. Humility is the willingness to be used in any way that’s necessary, however out of character it may seem; for in humility, individuality has been exchanged for the task it is involved in. Quietness in this case is an unquestioning acceptance of whatever has to be done. Humility is rare, because to have it you have to want nothing. If you do have it, you get everything.

A Humble Person

A humble person is lovely to be with, for beside them one is at ones best and yet because they respect themselves, nothing done belittles them, but further speaks of their beauty because the achievement is half theirs already.

Humility

Humility dismisses nothing, but takes even small thins seriously. It is the recognition that whatever is in life and in front of you, is to be respected as something that will take you forwards; that inside big things there is sometimes little; but inside little, there is often enormity.

Life - Game of Forgetting and Remembering

Life is a game of forgetting and remembering. You are losing the game when you forget who you are and what you are doing here. You are losing the game when you remember all the false things of the past and what they did to you. You are winning the game when you remember your true identity of peace, remember the One who is always peaceful and has unconditional love for you. You are winning the game when you forget the troubles of the past and move forward with lessons learned.

Bring Back Lightness in Life

Wisdom is not so much a creative quality as one of nurturing what is already there. Wisdom is making the very best of what you have, not stretching your hand for more than you require, nor taking too much. Never saying you will do something, just doing it; and not being enthusiastic. It is seeing the drabness of life and making it beautiful. It is recognizing that every gesture of giving is a right gesture and every gesture of taking is an invitation of influence. Because if you take what you most want, there may be mud stuck to it – heaviness. By giving, as you withdraw, you bring back lightness. It is a life of quiet victories and smiling defeats.

Positive Thinking Quote on Wisdom.

Wisdom is richness, not suspicion or reserve. The richness of experience folded inside you. Experience not only of the past but also of the future, gently knowing what is to come. It is like an income, the interest of which is used daily to live with ease, to avoid pitfalls, but the bulk of which remains saved inside, emerging unbidden when there’s a ‘crater’ in your life. Though there is richness, wisdom avoids shows, understands economy and knows that no-one needs your judgment, only your love for life, your warmth and perception. Wisdom simply sees the need and provides, fits in, but remains unique. Quietly.

Wisdom

Wisdom is knowledge of danger but no fear. It is the ability to spot a twist in the distance, a narrow stretch, the possibility of a collision; to stop and wait in peace until something has passed. No wisdom is keeping going, hoping all will be alright.

Wise Soul

You are a wise soul who recognizes every moment is to be respected as an opportunity to move forward. You make every moment worthwhile by recognizing it is perfect and accurate in the Drama of life.
