Move With Love And Purpose towards Your Destination !

Single minded but flexible, like a river forging its eternal route, I am dedicated to completions and natural conclusions. There is nothing that cannot be achieved. There is nothing that remains permanent. I keep on moving with love and purpose towards my destination. My resolve is firm, my aims are clear. I am determined.

Remain Happy In Difficult Situations Also !

True service is to spread the light of happiness to all around. In any negative situation, the usual reaction is to feel disheartened and unhappy. With this reaction to the situation, the people around too are affected as the unhappiness spreads around. Focusing this way only on the problem creates such negativity that it doesn't inspire anyone to work for a solution. Instead of spreading unhappiness in a difficult situation by seeing the negative aspect, we need to think of how to bring a solution. Even if we can't, we need to look at some positive aspect in it that will enable us to maintain our own positivity. When we keep ourselves happy in this way, we will be able to spread this happiness to others too.

Peace Is Freedom !

Each morning before I begin the journey of my day let me sit still, in silence, and sow the seed of peace. Peace is harmony and balance. Peace is freedom - freedom from the burden of negativity and wastefulness. Let peace find its home within me. Peace is my original strength, my eternal tranquility of being. Let my first thought of the day simply be peaceful.

Maintain Your Inner Self-Respect Even In Difficult Situations !

Real positivity is being positive even in negative situations. It seems very difficult, if not impossible, to maintain positive thoughts when we are faced with a negative situation. Even with a strong intention to be positive, challenges come in the form of relationships, physical illness, difficult circumstances etc and we find ourselves weakening. A long time of practice of maintaining inner self-respect is what will help us in a difficult situation. To maintain self-respect means to understand and appreciate our own uniqueness. With this practice of self-respect we will not be dependent on the external situation but will find the strength within.

Have A Vision Of Perfection !

The one with the vision of perfection constantly experiences progress. Many times, as we are moving ahead in the path of our life, we find ourselves stagnating. There seems to be no progress at all in any aspect of our life. We try to bring about a few changes that work for sometime. But after sometime we find ourselves dissatisfied and we stop trying. We need to have the vision of perfection constantly in front of our eyes. We need to ask ourselves what is it that we expect out of ourselves, to be a source of joy to others, to keep learning.... it could be anything that inspires us to constantly move ahead while appreciating all that life brings.

Determination Leads You To Success !

Determination enables elevated thoughts to become practical. When we have an aim in our life and are working for it, we sometimes are not able to bring into practice all that we plan to do. We then tend to become disheartened and give up after trying for some time. Thus we lose out on the benefit that our thoughts can bring in our life. In order to put into practice the good thoughts that we get i.e., in order to make our thoughts practical we need to stamp it with determination. Our words should never be 'I'll try', but must always be 'I will do it'. Where there is determination there is victory.

Hope Brings New Ways Of Success !

To have hope means to have a chance for success. When we encounter failures, we sometimes get so disheartened that we lose hope in both the situations and in ourselves. Instead of seeing the obstacle that comes our way as a turn, we see it as an end and give up trying. So we lose out on our chance for success. Even when things don't seem to be working out right, we must never leave hope. To leave hope means to rule out our chance for success. When we have hope we will keep thinking of new ways for success. We will then surely get cooperation from somewhere or the other and we will be successful.

Perfection Is Attained With Positivity !

Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts. When we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think about it so much that it is totally blown out of proportion and it seems bigger than it actually is. This leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let us work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain the way we are, not being able to bring about progress. What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is to change our focus. Instead of thinking about the weakness, we only need to think, "I am not perfect yet, but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving." With such positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.

Focus Your Energy On Getting A Solution !

Faith enables one to bring solutions to problems. When problems come, we tend to overreact to it or exaggerate it to such an extent that it becomes a trap for us. Instead of working on the problem we fall a prey to it making all our thoughts negative. Once we are caught up in negativity we will neither look for, nor find solutions. Each thought of ours is important when working on a problem. Instead of making our thoughts negative, we need to remind ourselves that what we are going through is a test which we must pass with honour. When we have this thought, all our energy will be focussed on working to bring a solution.

Talk To Your Mind With Love !

Self-respect increases when one learns to converse positively to the self. The usual way to talk to the self is to talk to the most superficial aspects of the personality, those which are related to fears (including those of the future), complaints and mindless repetition of things in the past. Such talk to the self only lowers the self-respect to a great extent. Not only when our mind is going towards waste and negative, but at all times, it is important that we talk to the mind with love, as we would talk to a child. Like a mother would lovingly explain to the child, we need to teach our mind with love. This creates true happiness within and our self-respect increases.

Have Good Qualities In Your Mind !

When you build a house every brick counts. When you build a character every thought counts. You are what you think. Love, purity, peace, wisdom - the more you think of these qualities, the more you will become them.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Recognize Each One ‘s Virtues !

True respect comes not from what one does but how well it is done. Respect is usually associated with what one does, i.e., it is usually associated with position, status etc which is associated with the job. When there is such an attitude, there is a tendency to look at the people around in a superficial way, missing out on recognising their true worth. We need to recognise the fact that true respect comes from doing well whatever is being done. We need to recognise each one's virtues and qualities revealed through the behaviour. This enables us to have true respect for others. We then no longer look at what one is doing as important, but will be able to appreciate each and every one's contribution.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have More Positive Thoughts In Your Mind !

To think less is to remain happy. Usually there is a tendency to think more than normal when there is a challenging situation. Although it is considered to be good to think more, we usually miss out on the fact that thinking more means having lots of waste thoughts along with those that are necessary. When we find ourselves thinking a lot we need to ask ourselves if all these thoughts are really necessary. We need to recognize waste thoughts and replace them with something more positive. With this practice we'll find ourselves thinking less and at the same time having powerful thoughts which will keep us cheerful under all circumstances.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Encourage Others To Move Forward !

To fill the ones who are hopeless with hope is the greatest service. To have faith by seeing the positive qualities even in the most negative person is to fill them with hope. Also to fill hope means to encourage others to move forward in the most negative situation. When this is done they are able to use their potentials for a positive purpose and slowly bring about a change for the better. When we are able to see positivity under all circumstances, we are able to have the courage and enthusiasm to make the best out of every situation. This also naturally makes us an inspiration for those around us too and makes us an image of support for those who want to make effort.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positivity In Your Life !

To be free from guilt means to ensure quick and easy progress. Blaming oneself for all that happens and taking the mind to extreme levels of guilt takes one to a sense of unworthiness. Such a person loses the strength and is unable to look for solutions in difficult situations. Hence there is nothing new that can be thought of, and the situation doesn't get any better. When we continue to blame ourselves, we believe that we deserve neither happiness nor love and that the sorrow that we are experiencing is a deserved punishment. So we lose all enthusiasm to improve the situation and have no awareness of the treasures that we have. So we experience no progress in our life.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Always Keep A Positive Attitude !

The ones who see only specialties become special. To see specialties and ignore negativity is to take a step ahead by imbibing those specialties. This creates a habit of seeing, taking in and expressing only positive qualities. So whatever the person may be, whatever his qualities may be, there is only a connection of positivity with him. When we are able to relate to everyone in this way with only specialties, we become special. We also find others responding positively to us and using only their specialties while in contact with us. There are also a lot of good wishes that we receive from others because of our positive attitude.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Tolerance ! It Helps !

To have tolerance means to be stable. When one is faced with defamation or insult, tolerance gives the power to be stable and cool. And so there is the ability to smile even when there is negativity that comes. Tolerance means to see beyond the insults because of being stable in the stage of self-respect. When faced with criticism, if we are able to be stable in our stage of self-respect, we are able to learn from every negative remark that comes our way. We will never become defensive, but will be able to see clearly what new learning we could take.

Help Others And Win Their Trust !

The one who is able to discriminate well is able to bring about real benefit. Everyone naturally works for the benefit of the self and others. But the one who discriminates well is able to understand the other person's need and give accordingly. So whatever is done naturally brings benefit for others and also for the self. When we are able to bring benefit for the right person at the right time with the right thing, we are able to win the trust of the other person. We expect nothing in return, but have the satisfaction of helping at the
right time.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience The Joy Of Being A Giver !

The one who is aware of one's fortune enables others to experience their fortune too. To be aware of one's own fortune means to appreciate and use all that one has. Also when there is the awareness of one's own fortune, there is a natural tendency to help people become aware of what they have and how they can benefit from it. So the one who is fortunate becomes a giver. When we are able to recognize our own fortune, we are able to have the joy of being a giver constantly. Whatever the circumstances, we are able to give knowing that we are fortunate. But never is there dependency created on us, because our help is to make them aware of their fortune too and make them independent.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Out The Specialties In You !

To be careless means to misuse specialties. To be careless means that there is no awareness of one's specialties and so there is the inability to use them for the benefit of the self and for the good of others. On the other hand there is also a tendency to become overconfident because of these specialties and not to work on self - transformation. The one who is careless is not able to recognize the need for self change and so is not able to bring about transformation. When we are able to be free from carelessness, we are able to understand the importance of the specialties that we have, and are able to use a particular specialty. So we find that the more we are able to use a particular specialty, the more we are able to bring out and use the latent specialties that are within ourselves.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Develop The Habit Of Thinking Positive !

The habit of thinking positive finishes negative. Just as it has become a habit of thinking negative, a positive habit when created will naturally bring about a change. A little practice and attention to form a habit of thinking positive will reveal its result of creating an influence of positivity. The situations will not change on their own, but the habit that has been formed will bring about a change in the response and will change the situation too. Usually it becomes very difficult or sometimes impossible for us to think positive in difficult situations. At that time, although we want to, the response that emerges from within is based on the habit that is formed previously. So when we make the habit of constantly and consciously thinking positive, we then become free from the struggle of having to change our mind to positive in difficult situations.

Experience The Beauty Of Life With Sweetness In Mind !

The sweetness of the mind brings sweetness in words and interactions. There is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions. But this sweetness can be expressed only when there is sweetness in the mind. Sweetness of the mind means there is not even a trace of negativity. Such a mind is further open to all that is nice and beautiful and expresses its own freshness and beauty in interactions. When we are able to keep my mind sweet, i.e., free from any kind of bitterness or ill-feelings, we are able to experience the beauty of life. There is no feeling of sorrow or negativity but the mind is nurtured to further positivity with everything that comes its way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Flexible And Mould Yourself Positively !

To be free from weakness means to have the power to mould. When there is a weakness, it becomes difficult to mould according to the needs of the situation. Weakness creates hardness and rigidity not allowing the situations to create internal beauty. So the one who is constantly working with one's own weakness finds it difficult to stop the negativity from being expressed immediately. The weakness is revealed inspite of making effort not to and there is unpleasantness created. To have the ability to mould means to become real gold. We become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which is ready to take beautiful shapes when it comes under the influence of the heat of the situation. So we have no hard feelings for having to adjust, but we are able to enjoy the beauty we create and the joy we spread.

Become A Source Of Light For Others !

To spread the light of happiness is to become a spiritual lighthouse. When we are in situations where there is negativity around or there seems to be no source of happiness, we too naturally tend to feel low and negative. We are totally under the influence of the situation and we can't seem to overcome the feeling at that time. Nothing actually inspires us to make effort to come out of such a feeling. We need to remind ourselves that we are a lighthouse, a source of light to all those around us. This thought will give us the inspiration to remain stable and strong even when we are amidst chaos or difficult situations. We will be able to spread our light across and show everyone the right direction by becoming an inspiration to those around us.

See The Positiveness In Every Situation !

In everything, goodness is there. Our goal is to find it. In every person, the best is there, our job is to recognise it. In every situation, the positive is there, our opportunity is to see it. In every problem, the solution is there, our responsibility is to provide it. In every setback, the success is there, our adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, the reason is there, our challenge is to understand it. By seeing the goodness, we'll be very enthusiastic and our lives will be all the richer.

God Is Your Best Companion !

When we are in the elevated company of the One God, no bad company will influence us. Sometimes when we are working for our self- development we sometimes wish for support or understanding from others which we don't always get. We actually look for a role model, whom we could follow or who could be an inspiration for us. When we don't find anyone like that we tend to get disheartened and continue to justify ourselves for not bringing any change in ourselves. The solution lies in becoming a role model and a source of support for others instead of expecting others to do so. For this, we need to pay extra attention to the kind of company we keep. Under all circumstances, if we keep God as our companion we will not be influenced by any other company, however strong they might be. We will then be able to bring about change in ourselves.

Take The Right Decision !

A wise sea captain caught in a tropical storm knows that if he holds his vessel on the periphery it will get hurled from one side to the other. If he can reach the eye of the storm, he will enter a place of stillness. The storm will then subside and the ship can continue its journey. Similarly, when everything around me is changing in a very intense way, the best place for me to seek shelter and refuge is not on the outside, but deep within the self, where I can get in touch with my own inner being, find strength and stability, then come out and do whatever it is I need to.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Celebrate With a Positive Attitude !

To celebrate means to finish all trace of the old. We find that whenever there is an occasion, we are full of zeal and enthusiasm for that day. However this doesn't continue for long and we find ourselves getting caught with our old nature. We then give the excuse to ourselves saying, 'this is how I am, and this is my nature' etc. Once we start working with our old nature we cannot be enthusiastic anymore. Each new festival is an occasion for us to finish something of the old. We only need to take a determined thought to remove something of our old nature. We no longer need to give excuses, but make the firm promise to ourselves to transform. Our zeal and enthusiasm will then never lessen and we will continue to celebrate with constant enthusiasm.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring About A Positive Transformation !

The one who has the power of realisation is the one who can bring transformation. When something goes wrong we immediately begin to look for excuses why that mistake happened. This finishes our power of realisation and we will not be able to recognise our own mistake. Then we will not be able to work at improving ourselves and we will not be able to bring any transformation. Instead of looking for excuses for what happened, we need to take the opportunity to check within ourselves and see our own mistake. When we recognise our mistake, however small it may be, we will be able to work on it. Only when we are able to realize our own mistake, will we be able to bring about transformation in ourselves.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spread The Power Of Our Positive Feelings To Others !

With benevolent feelings and good wishes we can free people from worrying. When we come across someone who is faced with a difficult situation because of which he is worrying, we too usually tend to think about it. Instead of helping the other person to be free from worrying, we too begin to worry. This doesn't help either of us in anyway but only adds to the negativity of the situation. We need to develop such benevolent feelings for the ones who are going through the situation that the power of our positive feelings will spread to them too. It will act like the light of the lamp, which helps to dispel the darkness around. Only when there is positivity in the mind will they be able to think of some solution.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Speak At The Right Time !

Where there is honesty there is flexibility. When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying we generally tend to argue and prove our point in order to prove ourselves right. When we argue in this way, it only shows our own stubbornness and doesn't help in anyway to reveal the truth. Where silence doesn't help in revealing the truth, argument never will because the other person is not in a position to listen to us at that moment. We need to realise the fact that when the other person is not able to recognise the truth, our arguing will not help in any way. When the truth is with us we need not argue but we only need to wait for the right opportunity to tell what we have to say. When we try to tell when the other person is not in a position to listen to us, it only reveals our lack of flexibility.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Source Of Support For Others !

Recognising our own uniqueness makes us a support for others. We can never be a source of support for others unless we are strong and stable. But usually our own wellbeing is dependent on others and their opinion of ours. As a result we make others our support, which is not always reliable. This also makes us miss out on our self - support. Instead of looking out for support from others, we need to turn within and see what speciality within us can get us out of the situation. It is essential to recognize and make use of our speciality. Then we will never expect support from others but will become a source of support for those around us.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Friday, November 06, 2009

Correct Yourselves At The Right Time !

When there is real transformation we never repeat our mistakes. When any mistake of ours keeps repeating again and again, it becomes part of our nature, a habit and then we make it an excuse and defend ourselves saying, 'this is just the way I am, this is my nature, etc.' When we justify our mistake we will not be able to work on it to remove it and we find that it is only further strengthened. Once we have recognised the fact that our nature has become such that the mistake keeps repeating again and again, we need to make an attempt to change it without giving any excuse to ourselves or to others. Unless our attitude towards the mistake changes, i.e. we stop justifying it, we will not be able to do away with it.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Free From Expectations !

Success in relationships comes when we are free from expectations. In our daily interactions if we find that we are not able to get along with someone, our usual reaction is to avoid that person altogether in order to avoid the conflict. But that is not really a solution. Unless we recognise why we are not able to get along with that person we will face the same problem with someone else. When we are not able to get along with someone we need to recognise the fact that the problem is not with the person but with our own expectations. When our expectations are not being met we have a conflict which is reflected in our relationship with that person. So we need to work at recognizing and removing these expectations.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Positive feelings For Others !

Feelings change intentions, thus changing actions too. When there are negative feelings like jealousy or hatred towards another person, those feelings naturally create misunderstanding. Even if the other person has a good feeling while doing something, a negative intention is attributed and this naturally changes one's own behaviour or response making it negative too. When there is the slightest bit of negative feeling within us for someone, it naturally creates further negativity from others too. We find everything we come across to be negative, like the one who wears colored glasses sees everything to be of that particular color.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

An Intelligent And Positive Message !

It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature.

Have The Right Faith In Others !

Faith in others enables them to be powerful. Faith in others is usually mistaken for blind faith - observing helplessly only hoping for the best in our heart. We then consciously don't do anything but just hope for the best. In such a situation we subtly experience fear or tension. But this is not true faith nor is the outcome usually right. Faith in others means to remain alert to what is going on and then to fill the other person with the strength of our faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. Our faith will fill them with confidence and they will be able to give their best to the task.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Your Intellect Refined !

In order to make your intellect refined, talk to yourself and talk to God with your heart. Don't just make complaints and demands. Allow your intellect to become peaceful. Forget anything that has to do with the body or - bodily - relations. As He is nonphysical, make yourself nonphysical with your thoughts; then have a conversation with Him. He will listen to the things of your heart and give you a response.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus On The Potential And Unique Specialties Of Others !

True help is to appreciate the efforts of each one to improve themselves. Not realising that all are making effort to bring improvement in themselves at their own level, we tend to point out people's mistakes only to prove them wrong. It is by proving them wrong that we want to prove ourselves right. This doesn't help others in anyway to bring a change in them. We need to focus more on the potential and unique specialities of those around us, rather than on their faults. This will help us to appreciate the effort that each one is making to bring improvement in himself. Then we find that even the corrections we give are effective, as they are more for the benefit of the other person. This is the real help we can give to others.

Enjoy Whatever Comes Your Way !

When I finish this project, then I will be happy! When this situation is resolved, I will be fine. When I reach my goal, I will finally relax, be peaceful! To surf in the Ocean is to understand where the waves are coming from and which ones to take. Maybe what life is asking of you is different from the responses you were trained to give to it. To be successful in the Ocean needs effort and positioning. Catch the right wave. The objective of the surfer is to enjoy the ride, to have fun. In the same way, do not postpone your happiness; enjoy whatever comes your way.

Success Is Achieved By Team Work !

Success comes to the one who is able to involve others and work as a team. Because of having a feeling that the more the people involved, the more difficult the task becomes, we tend to avoid involving others in any task that we take up. We tend to do everything on our own, making us lose out on useful resources that we can get as others' contribution. As much as possible we need to involve others in such a way that they make a valuable contribution to the task that we have undertaken. We are doubly benefited with this. Firstly, we will gain from the others' resources. We also find that the good wishes of others are there for the task for which they have contributed and we find ourselves succeeding.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Handle Responsibility In A Positive Way !

Responsibility enables us to give our best in all we do. When we are responsible to do something, we tend to feel burdened. This could be because responsibility sometimes takes on the form of interference. That is we take on those tasks too that are not connected with us. To such an extent that we even begin to do those things that others are capable of doing by themselves. If we ever find ourselves feeling burdened, we need to ask ourselves if we are taking on any responsibility which is not ours. When we recognise the fact that responsibility doesn't mean taking on everything on our head, we will be able to lighten our own burden. At all times we need to have this attention that we need to take responsibility but if the situation is not our business or someone else is in charge, we don't have to get caught in it.

Experience The Specialty Of Doing A Task !

An elevated consciousness brings specialty to the task being done. As is the consciousness, so is the feeling behind the task, and therefore its quality. Just to perform action and finish the tasks at hand does not bring specialty and accuracy as much as it should. When the consciousness is special, that means before a task is performed there is a thought given both to the task and to the self, there is specialty revealed in the task. When we are able to start each task with a special consciousness, like "I am victorious", or "I am powerful" or "this task is for the benefit of all", we are able to experience the specialty of doing the task. We are also able to increase our state of self-respect, whatever the task or however simple it maybe.

Keep a Positive Attitude Towards Others !

True help is to help people discover their own specialities. When others' negativities or weaknesses are perceived, it is essential to look at their positivity or specialities too. This will naturally bring love and positivity in the relationship and there will be an encouragement of that positivity. So even if that person has no recognition or has not been using his speciality, an encouragement of it by others will naturally enable him to begin to use it. Making others aware of their specialities and subtly encouraging them to use these specialities is a great help that we can do for others. When we are able to give this unique help and cooperation, we not only find benefit for others, but we are also able to get the good wishes of others. Even others naturally become positive with our positive attitude.

Guide Your Mind In The Right Direction !

To be healthy internally is to make the best use of all treasures. A healthy intellect acts like a mother, always showing the right path. When internally one is strong, there is the natural ability to treat the mind with love and guide it towards the right direction. Such a healthy state of mind naturally enables the recognition and the proper utilisation of everything available. Once we have learnt the art of guiding our mind in the right direction with love, we then never experience the difficulty of having to bring back the mind to the right thinking. Because the mind is totally under control in a very easy and natural way and we don't have to control it or force it to think or not to think in a particular way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Relaxed And Easy Even In Difficult Situations !

The one who has self-respect is the one who is free from aggression. When the situation seems out of control, there is naturally a feeling of helplessness. This helplessness further creates tension, which gets expressed in the form of aggression. Such a kind of aggression cannot be suppressed or controlled. To be in the state of one's own self- respect is to be confident and the one who is confident will be assertive but can never be aggressive. We are able to keep our mind cool, when we are in our state of self-respect. So we never react to situations negatively but we are able to understand the situation and respond in the right way. We take decisions in a calm and composed state of mind, and are relaxed and easy even in the most difficult situations.

Fill Your Words With Power Of Positivity !

To be free from waste words is to ensure easy success. The one who wastes time and energy in gossip or slander has no time for success. All attention is focused on picking out the mistakes and the negativity of others and so there is no attention on learning new things or picking out the positive. So there is negativity visible in one's own attitude, words and actions. When we are able to free ourselves from waste and negative words, we are able to use the resource of our words in a positive and useful way. Our words would be filled with the power of positivity and faith, faith in the self and faith in others.

See Positivity In Each Person And Remain Happy !

To remain happy is to truly live life. Life has meaning when there is the happiness of living. Everything that happens brings something new. The more the mind is tuned to see and appreciate this truth; there is the happiness that lasts - whatever the situations may be. The one who is constantly happy is able to creatively use all the resources in the right way and also makes others happy. When we are able to maintain our internal state of happiness under all circumstances, we are able to enjoy the beauty of life. We are only able to see the positive in each and everything and also only the specialities and goodness in everyone. We are never let down by situations, people or their reactions, but enjoy everything.

Have Faith In Your Work !

Faith brings victory. When things seem to be going wrong again and again we begin to get upset and curse our fate. Mentally we seem to accept our defeat and when we start something new, we are not always able to be confident as there is an underlying fear of failing. When there is fear, it will be difficult for us to succeed as we are not able to do things to the best of our ability. We need to be alert under all circumstances. This will help us to recognise negativity as soon as it comes up. Instead of making our mind negative when things go wrong, we need to work at increasing our faith that things will work out fine. Then we will also be able to give our best to the task with confidence. And we will be successful in whatever we take up.

Learn The Art Of Forgiving !

To forgive is to give correction. When there is forgiveness, the harm of the mistake is forgotten. The mistake itself is remembered only to the extent that the correction is to be given. So there are no negative feelings expressed even while giving correction. And the words that are used are few but prove to be very effective. When we learn the art of forgiving we are able to be free from the burden of negative and waste thinking. So there is never any difficulty in giving correction when necessary. The mind is free from the attitudes of the past and it creates harmony in relationships even if the opinions or personalities don't match.

Have Good Wishes And Pure Feelings For Others !

Good wishes and pure feelings bring easy success while working at a task. If there are good feelings for both the task and the one who is carrying out the task, then the result attained by those feelings is automatically special. The feeling of giving love and cooperation, no matter what anyone is like gives good wishes and pure feelings. There is a deep impact of such good feelings which transforms others too. When we are able to maintain our own good feelings for others, we are able to enjoy the fruit of our pure thoughts. We are not disturbed by temporary clashes that we have because of the different nature of the persons we are working with, but enjoy working together. So there are also good feelings from the other person too and there is easy success experienced.

Become A Positive Source Of Support !

Mercy means to give support to the ones who are helpless. A negative situation or a person who is in need and is helpless usually stimulates feelings of unhappiness or sorrow. At such a time it becomes very difficult to maintain a positive state of mind. But real mercy is that which gives support through the positive state of one's mind. The more there is the feeling of happiness; others too can be brought to that state of happiness and joy. When we are able to remain happy even in negative situations, we are able to maintain our internal state of calm. And this is the best frame of mind where we are able to see things objectively and in a detached way and we are able to make the right decisions. So we find ourselves becoming a source of support.

Move Forward In Life With Zeal And Enthusiasm !

The one with zeal and enthusiasm is constantly tireless. Zeal and enthusiasm brings the willingness to move forward under all circumstances. Never are there are any excuses given, whatever the difficult situations or challenges that one might be faced with. Instead whatever has to be done is done without any tiredness. Also the best is made out of all situations. This tirelessness gives us the courage to move on and experience constant success. We become aware of our own resources and make the best use of them. So we also experience internal progress, constantly.

Fill Positive Thoughts With Power Of Determination !

Determination fills a thought with power. Any thought which is added with determination automatically brings confidence. This confidence naturally fills the thought with power. When there is the thought, 'I can do it', there is surely the power to do it. Then there are no distractions, nor is there any comparison with others. All resources are put to the maximum use and the task is accomplished. When we are able to fill our positive thoughts with the power of determination, we are able to bring all our special thoughts and plans into action immediately. We are able to feel the satisfaction of bringing equality into our thoughts, words and actions. There is no feeling of helplessness, but there is only confidence and courage in doing what we are supposed to do.

He will never allow the other person to feel defeated because the one who is victorious is a bestower. He has the ability to give courage to others and fill others with the hope to achieve something better. This will never let him lose hope in himself or in others and will also win the trust and good wishes of others. So there is a constant experience of being victorious.

Bring Newness In Your Work For Constant Progress !

To bring newness into actions means to contribute for the betterment of the self and others. There is a constant desire to do something better that makes a contribution to oneself and to others too. So the one who thinks of newness can bring about such a contribution. There will not be something different that can be done. But the same thing can be done in such a way that there is benefit visible. When we are able to bring newness in the way we do things, we are able to experience constant progress. There will also be the satisfaction of bringing about newness and creativity even in ordinary actions. Along with this there will also be the satisfaction of making a contribution in every action of ours.

Be Humble ! It Works !

True royalty lies in humility. The one who is humble never reacts but responds in the right way to situations or challenges. Thus there is royalty visible in all words, actions and behaviour. So there is newness visible in the way of responding to situations. When we are humble we are able to be beyond the influence of praise and defamation. This is because we are stable in the state of our self - respect. Also because of this we are able to bring about newness and we are able to be creative in responding to situations too.

Use Your Resources In The Best Possible Way To Be Accurate !

Accuracy brings perfection and speciality in all that is done. To be accurate means to take up full responsibility for every task and do it to the best of one's ability. That means all resources that one has are used in the best possible way for the best result of the task. This naturally brings perfection in everything that is done. When we are accurate in everything we do, we are able to be free from carelessness and negligence. We find ourselves bringing speciality and uniqueness in what we do. For having done things with accuracy, we also find ourselves becoming trust-worthy and we are also able to be satisfied with ourselves.

Remain Honest With The Self !

True honesty to the self brings the power to bring about change. To be honest is not just to be truthful. It is more to be honest with the self. The one who is honest with the self constantly has the aim of bringing about a change for the better. Each situation is used as a chance for the betterment of the self. So there is always the aim not to repeat the mistakes that are committed once. When we are honest with ourselves we are able to feel the constant progress and experience the happiness of moving forward under all circumstances. We have the power to understand the situation, not just from our point of view, but more in a detached way. So we are able to understand and accept whatever the situation holds for us and learn from it humbly.

Have True Faith In Others !

Faith in others enables them to be powerful. Faith in others is usually mistaken for blind faith – observing helplessly, only hoping for the best in our heart. We, then, don't consciously do anything but just hope for the best. In such a situation we subtly experience fear or tension. But this is not true faith nor is the outcome usually right. Faith in others means to remain alert to what is going on and then to fill the other person with the strength of our faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. Our faith will fill them with confidence and they will be able to give their best to the task.

Bring A Perfect Balance Of Being A Master And A Child !

Success comes to the one who has a balance of being a master and a child. When we make a contribution in the form of an advice or a suggestion, we usually do it with confidence. That means we are sure of ourselves and are a master. But the problem usually comes when people don't accept our suggestion. We are, then, not able to accept their decision or criticism. We need to have the perfect balance of being a master and a child. It means that along with being a master while giving the suggestions we need the consciousness of a child while it is being heard. That means we are totally ready to accept the comments/criticism that we might be faced with.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Follow The Path Of Truth !

The one who has recognised the power of truth finds no need to prove it. When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying, our usual reaction is to try to prove our point. It sometimes goes beyond the point where we are trying to clarify but takes on the form of stubbornness. When we are sure of the truth that is within us, we don't have to worry about proving it. Instead we only need to be concerned with being it and living it. Then we'll move forward with the faith that truth will be revealed at the right moment and at the right place.

Use A Positive Approach To Solve Problems !

Honesty gives us the persistence to solve our problems. If our reaction to problems is to give up or to go away, it is deceiving ourselves. We will not be able to get rid of the situation by making a physical change because we will find ourselves faced with the same difficulty with someone else or in some other situation. Instead of trying to change the situation, we need to recognize and transform the weakness that is in us that is causing us trouble in the situation. Once we use this art we find ourselves enjoying each situation that we are faced with.

True Effort Helps To Achieve Your Goal !

True effort brings real success. Usually we seem to put in good effort to achieve our goal. But sometimes we also get caught in blaming others and considering them the cause of our distress and lack of success. This is carelessness which only makes us feel disheartened. Even during the midst of total chaos or difficult situations, we need to remain responsible for every thought, word and action of ours. To act from such an awareness is proof that we are making right efforts and this ensures our success.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Courageous And Bring About A Change !

The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change. When there is a challenge which brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself, but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly. When we are able to face the challenge of working on our own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation we are able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness but we will be able to have full control on the situation. So there is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.

Become A Beautiful Instrument Of God !

To have the awareness of being God's instrument is to bring about a positive change. When there is the awareness of being an instrument of God, there would be the desire to do the best and be the best. So each and every thing I do would be for the improvement for the self. Due to this there would be divinity and speciality seen in every thing that is done. This would also bring the awareness of all the resources and they would also be used in a worthwhile way. When we are aware of our role and what we contribute through our specialities, we recognise the fact that we are a beautiful instrument of God. This awareness naturally helps us be in our state of self-respect under all circumstances. We find ourselves giving our best and making ourselves more and more beautiful within. We are able to bring about a positive change with great ease.

Think Positively & Creatively !

The method to bring about a permanent change is to bring about newness in thinking. To bring about a permanent change for the better means getting the mind trained to new ways of looking at the same situation. Only with this new understanding will there be a new response. Trying to bring about change in a superficial way will not bring about a long - lasting change. When we train our mind to think creatively we are able to keep our mind busy. In this way we are able to free it from thinking negative and waste. Also we find ourselves enjoying every scene that comes in front of us.

Direct All Your Thoughts In The Positive & Right Direction !

The method to finish waste thoughts is to deal with the mind with love. When there are waste thoughts in the mind which one tries to stop, it becomes difficult to do that. There is discomfort and difficulty experienced. On the other hand, when the mind is taught to take the right direction with love, there is a quick and dramatic change. When we learn the art of speaking to our mind with love, we are able to free ourselves from waste thoughts without any feelings of suppression. Concentration too becomes easy and all thoughts are directed towards the right direction.

With Self Respect You Have A Positive And Elevated State Of Mind !

Self-respect brings constant learning and an experience of success. Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a positive and elevated state of mind. There is openness and enthusiasm to bring about progress in one's life. Everything that is done is towards this end. So, the one with self-respect naturally reveals one's speciality in all thoughts, words and actions. When we are able to maintain our own state of self-respect, we are able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. We are able to understand, accept and make use of all situations in the right way. So, whatever the situation may be, for me there is a constant experience of progress.

Recognize Your Own Specialties !

To be free from influence means to make full use of one's potential. When we see others' specialties we think we are getting inspired by them but sometimes we also get influenced by them. To get influenced means to be dependent or to be in their control. When we do this we are not able to recognise and experience our own true self. Instead of only looking at others' specialties we also need to practice seeing our own specialties too. The more we recognise our own specialties we will not only be able to work with them but we will also be able to take the right inspiration from others' specialties too.

Realize The Value Of Life !

The one who is the master of time is the one who is successful. Most of the time, we find ourselves trying to manage time or trying to race with time. There is a lot of effort that goes into it and we tend to feel tired. Then there is also a feeling or a need for a break. Instead of trying to manage time, we need to make effort to manage our thoughts. We need to make our thoughts useful, that is we need to have such positive and powerful thoughts that serve to increase the value of our own self and help us realise the value of our life.

Where There Is Determination There Is Commitment !

The power of determination brings all thoughts into practice. There are a lot of thoughts that come into the mind that should come into practice immediately. These thoughts come according to the demands of time or according to the kind of people that one comes into contact with. But the only way to bring all these thoughts into practice is to use the power of determination. Where there is determination there is the commitment to use all the resources for the realisation of that thought. When we are able to use the power of determination, we are able to realise our inner potential and use it in the right way. So we are able to experience constant progress, because all our thoughts are for our self progress and all these thoughts naturally come into practice. We never give up anything with temporary setbacks but are able to do everything for the constant progress of the self.

Love Gives The Power To Perceive Positivity In Others !

Love creates the right environment for others' positive growth. Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created. Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and gives the encouragement to others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others. When we have love for others, along with perceiving their specialities, we are also able to recognise and use our specialities and inner powers more and more. Knowing and using these specialities is naturally for the benefit of those around us. This gives us an inner experience of power which makes us a constant giver and a support for those around us.

With The Inner State Of Calm We Can Take Right Decisions !

The one who is calm and cool is the one who makes the right decisions. The natural nature of the human mind is to come under pressure and tension during negative situations. When there is a challenging situation, there is naturally the tendency to find it difficult to maintain an inner state of calm. But the one who has the ability to go within and find the inner calm is able to be clear in thinking and is able to make the right decisions. When we are able to experience the inner state of calm, we are able to be clear in our thinking. With this clarity we find the right decisions and solutions emerging very naturally within our mind. We will never have the difficulty of having to make decisions, but all decisions are made with ease and they are right too.

Use Your Inner Potential For A Positive Purpose !

To pay constant attention towards positivity is to be free from tension. To pay attention means not to think, speak or do anything waste, negative or even ordinary. The one who keeps attention in this way and also allows no negativity from outside to go within, is always free from tension. There is also the proper use of everything that is available. When we are able to pay constant attention and also use the inner treasures within for a positive purpose, there is the use of the inner potential. When there is the recognition and use of this potential within in this way, negativity finishes; just as sunshine finishes darkness.

Get God’s Help By Being Honest & Courageous !

The virtues of honesty and courage bring success. The one who is courageous is never deterred by challenges, but moves on towards success. Combined with courage, is the virtue of honesty which allows one to be consistent, sincere and true in the efforts put in. So success comes with proper effort and there is also humility visible in such a person. When we are courageous, but at the same time honest in our efforts that we put in for achieving success, we will never have ego. We will be able to get the cooperation and good will of all, and especially the protection and the help of God. We will find ourselves moving slowly towards success with everything we do.

Constant Learning Brings About A Deep Internal Change And Progress !

The one who is open to learning always finds an opportunity to learn and change. Life has plenty of opportunities for the one who wants to learn. Each situation and person that comes one's way is an instrument for a new learning. Constant learning brings about a deep internal change and progress in one's life. When we are able to learn from all that happens, we are able to be content for both, what we have learnt and the change that we have been able to bring about. This contentment also keeps us enthusiastic and our mind open for further learning. We naturally become an embodiment of what we have learnt.

Be Concerned For Others ! It Is Beneficial !

To do what is right for all is to remain happy. The one who is always concerned for others is the one who can do right for others. There is constant benefit for others merged in every action of such a person. Because of having given without expectation, there is happiness in everything that is done. There is also uniqueness and speciality revealed in every action. We experience double benefit, because there is happiness in the effort as well as in the result of that effort. There is constant success experienced by us. we are also able to receive the good wishes and blessings from others and we further get encouraged to use our speciality.

Do Your Tasks With Full Responsibility & Positively !

The one who is responsible is the one who is always light. To be responsible means to do everything with the best of one's ability. It comes with the recognition and the understanding of the importance of the task. No action is wasted, but everything meaningfully connects to the fulfillment of the task. So there are not even ordinary actions, but only those that are meaningful. When we take up every task that we need to do with full responsibility, we are able to give our best. Then we will be able to be light having done our task well and in time. There is never the pressure of work, but there is plenty of time for the self and for others. We also find our inner resources being used to the fullest extent.

Become A Teacher Who Inspires !

To be a teacher means to touch the heart rather than the head. Teaching others means being subtle and explaining in such a way that the mind opens because the heart has understood. The one who truly teaches inspires rather than just becoming the one who teaches others. There is recognition of the positivity that is in each one and so no comparisons are made with others. Once we are able to look at the positivity in another individual and have the pure desire of enabling progress within that person, we are able to feel the love for him. This is like a parent's love whose love for the child is that which makes him grow. We become a teacher who inspires rather than the one who teaches.

Rely More On Internal Peace To Bring About A Positive Effect !!

Peace is found within but not outside. We are peaceful beings but external situations pull us away from our peace if we let them. When there is not a very positive situation that we are confronted with, we need to save ourselves from the pull of the outside situation and rely on the peace within. Every morning let us practice being a peaceful being, who is totally in charge of ourselves. When we make this practice firm, when difficult situations do come we will be able to rely more on our internal peace instead of getting carried away by the external situations.

God’s Love Brings Out The Positivity Within You !

God's love brings out the perfection from within. The power of God's love brings about change internally. Through His love everything old and unwanted finishes. There is the natural tendency to bring about such perfection that the one who loves Him and gets His love becomes like a mirror - a mirror in which perfection of others too is visible. There is such inner strength that I get because of God's love that even if somebody does something to hurt me, I don't allow myself to get hurt. Even if people are saying negative things, they don't influence or touch me in a negative way. I am so full with God's love that it naturally flows out to those around me.

Give Your Best For A Positive Reaction !

To receive respect from others comes more with responsibility than as a right. The one who gets respect is the one who becomes worthy of it rather than the one who just expects it. True respect comes from how well a task is done rather than what is done. The more one's speciality is expressed, the more one becomes worthy of respect. When we go on giving our best in whatever is expected of us, we will start receiving respect from those around us. We will then never expect from others but will naturally be able to give respect to all. This further makes us earn their love and regard.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Give Your Mind Only Positive Thoughts !

Greatness lies in revealing one's own speciality. Greatness means recognising one's own speciality and being a donor with it. It also means being royal and great in what is given to the mind - that means giving the mind only the positive. When there is greatness in this way there is speciality and uniqueness seen in every act of mine. When I am able to perceive my inner greatness, I am able to be content because there are no expectations, but there's only a feeling of being a giver. I find myself to be light and easy and enjoying each moment of my life, slowly moving towards perfection. I am also able to attain the blessings and good wishes from others.

Connect With God To Experience His Love !

The one who understands God's love is himself loving too. The one who understands that God has love for all children, never hates anyone, however negative the other person's characteristics might be. There is the understanding that it is not the person who is negative, but it is only a negative quality working within that person at that time. A loving person's love discourages the other person to use the negativity and encourages to use the positive qualities instead. When we are connected with God, we are able to experience His love. Once we understand and experience His love, we are able to remain loving too - even with the most difficult people. We are then able to have good wishes for all, understanding that our love will make them positive too. We are never caught up with anyone's negativity, but are always happy as we only interact with positivity.

Maintain a Continuous Flow Of Positivity Towards Yourselves !

Success comes to the one who absorbs only the good and positive aspects. The one who has the power to absorb, naturally absorbs only the positive aspects of everything he comes into contact with. So the response too is always positive. Never is there reactions towards difficult situations or people, but there is the natural ability to absorb all that is good and respond positively accordingly. Once we instill the habit of seeing only the positive aspect in everything, we find ourselves getting free from negativity. It is like filling in fresh water into a pail of dirty water. When there is a continuous flow of fresh water into even the most dirty water, gradually the water getting purified. So too we find ourselves getting internally cleansed of all negativity with a continuous flow of positivity.

Be Calm And Take Proper Decisions !

The right solution is found by the mind which is free from worry. No matter how hard one worries about a problem, there can be no solution found. When the mind is free from worry, it is able to be calm. Then there will be no struggle but very naturally the right decision is made, which would be for the benefit of the self and that of others too. On the contrary, a mind that is worried would make decisions that are harmful, even after a lot of thinking and rethinking. When we keep the mind free from worry in the most difficult situation, we are able to experience inner calm, inspite of the outer disturbance, because there is no disturbance in my natural thinking process. There is a lot of peace within, which enables us to be free from negative feelings for everyone. We also naturally have good wishes for ourselves and others, so whatever we do would be for everyone's benefit.

Fill Yourselves With Positivity !

Faith transforms negativity into positivity. Sometimes we find ourselves having negative thoughts inspite of not wanting to have them. Trying to stop them without understanding the root cause does not really bring success and we simply get tired. And we find ourselves giving up or losing hope. The solution for this is to keep filling ourselves with such positivity that all confusion in the mind finishes. For this it is necessary to develop faith in the self and in fate. This brings positivity and we find there is no more place for negativity.

Spread Your Inner Positive Light To Others !!!

A powerful stage is like a switch which finishes darkness of negativity in a second. Darkness is dispelled when a light is switched on. Similarly, a powerful stage is also a light switch. When this switch is on, one can put an end to all wasteful darkness and no longer have to labour to stop any wasteful thoughts. By becoming powerful, one can naturally become a donor, as there is nothing waste within. When we are aware of our positive qualities and what we can contribute to others, we are powerful. This naturally enables us to be light and spread the inner light to others. We are never influenced negatively with any kind of waste or negative, but are always able to maintain our positivity and that of others too.

Be An Example For Others !

Our correction is effective when we become an example. When we find ourselves correcting others, sometimes we do find ourselves in situations where someone is not listening to us. Even if the correction is given with love it does not seem to work. So we find ourselves at a loss as to how to make the other person understand. In order to make our words effective, we need to apply them in our own life. When we first apply it in our life, we will become an example for others around us. Our words would then surely have an impact on others.

Patience And Planning Helps In Removing All Obstacles !

Patience enables one to easily overcome obstacles. Usually, when faced with obstacles there is an urgency to remove it without any proper planning. That means we want to overcome the obstacle without putting in any effort. And when it is not possible, it tends to create impatience and frustration in us. It is important to do some internal work to overcome an obstacle. First, it is good to check to what extent there is faith in the self. With faith in ourselves, we need to plan out before we act to remove or overcome the obstacle and we will, then, find ourselves successful.

Learn From The Past !

The one who is simple is the one who is free from pain. When we are simple we are able to be free from pain or hurt even in adverse situations. We are able to take benefit from the wealth of experiences accumulated over the past without feeling the pain. With simplicity we know that we need to remember the past only to the extent that we have to learn from it. When something goes wrong and we find ourselves thinking about it again and again, we need to remind ourselves that all the past experiences are only for us to learn from. The past is finished and we don't have to undergo the sorrow again thinking about the past repeatedly.

Look At Everything In A Positive Way !

The one who has the power to face is free from tensions. To be good with those who are good is quite natural, but to be good with those who are bad is known as having the power to face. This naturally comes when there is the power to transform even that which in negative into something positive. When there is the power to face, there is no retaliation, no conflict. There is love given to all around. When I am able to transform and look at each and everything in a positive way, I will not have any difficulty with any situation. I will naturally be able to face all situations in a light and easy way. When I am able to be free from tension in this way, I am also able to give my best and thus become an inspiration for those around me.

Remain Clean Within To Make The Right Decisions !

Cleanliness of the intellect brings accurate decision making. When the intellect is not clear, it is constantly wandering and it becomes tired. A tired intellect is not able to concentrate properly and so whatever decisions are made at that time are not so accurate. When there is cleanliness within there are no waste or negative thoughts and the entire thought power is used in the right way and so the right decisions are made. When I am clean within, I am able to experience lightness. Because I am clean and clear within, I find that I do not have any conflict or difficulty in making decisions. Instead I will be able to find the flow of thoughts moving in the right direction very naturally. So I find things also moving in the right direction.

Get At The Root Of Every Problem !

Problem solving is to work at the roots of a problem. When a problem comes up we usually try to work at removing the problem at hand by trying various methods based on the understanding we have. We don't go deep into the actual cause of the problem and so find it repeating again and again. Unless we understand the root cause of the problem we will not be able to get rid of it fully. The trick to problem solving is to go to the root, i.e. to find the actual cause. When we find and work at removing the actual cause of the problem we will never find it repeating. For example, if the actual problem might be inability to finish everything in time, the cause behind might not be lack of sufficient time, but my own carelessness.

Try To Achieve Peace Of Mind !

Who are the thieves of peace? Why is peace lost in relationships? Complaints, guilt and comparisons are the main destroyers of peace. Instead of complaining, share newness. Instead of looking for someone to blame, take responsibility for improving the situation. Instead of comparing yourself to others, value the good that is in them.

With Simplicity You Become Accurate And Inspiring !

Simplicity enables one to become an example. Simplicity is free from the complications of waste questions, doubts and expectations. The one who is simple is naturally accurate and inspiring in his actions. He is able to understand the demands of the environment and mould himself accordingly, so he himself has no demands. And he is able to move forward to his satisfaction. When we are simple in our thoughts, we are also able to be simple in our responses to the outer environment i.e., to both situations and people. So internally we are able to remain content. This contentment further brings newness and creativity in the way we respond to situations, and we naturally experience further progress.

Maintain A Balance Of Being A Master And A Child !

To have the balance of being a master and a child is to experience constant success. To have the right balance means to know when to be a master and when to be a child. When I give an idea or makes a contribution, it is as a master - with total authority. But while the idea is heard by others and is being criticised I become a child. There is no attachment to the idea, but the mind is open to receive new thoughts in order to enrich what is already there. When I am able to maintain a balance between being master and a child, I am able to experience constant happiness I am able to put forth my creative ideas with confidence. Yet I am not upset when someone criticises my ideas. On the contrary, I am constantly learning and moving forward. So I constantly experience success.

There Is Power In Each One Of Us !

We think sometimes that the deepest secrets of life can only be uncovered in a monastery – can only be found at the end of a long and difficult journey to a land somewhere near the roof of the world. We don’t even dare hope that we will be one of the lucky ones who finds the true master to teach us a true path to follow. It seems to impossible. We think sometimes that the greatest adventure, the most meaningful quest can only be found by someone not bound by an ordinary life. That we must be free of family and job, with our back pack ready, and a ticket to some exotic destination promising possibilities. The truth is that seekers come in all shapes and sizes, living all kinds of lives. The truth is there is a power in each of us, a power that goes largely untapped and unrecognized, hidden even from our own selves. The truth is that we don’t have to go anywhere, there are no tickets to buy, no bags to pack. But you do have to be ready to travel. The truth is that the quest exists, the journey is real. The traveler is you.

Tolerance Is A Great Virtue !

Tolerance means to bounce back even when thrown against a very hard wall. The ability to do this comes from sensing that life is a game and that all things move in cycles. What is uncomfortable now will soon change. Tolerance is like saying yes to the game and enjoying it.

Success Is Achieved Through Self Respect !

Success comes through maintaining self-respect. Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a stable state of mind, even in the most challenging and difficult times. This in turn brings right judgement at all times, which allows discrimination between right and wrong. Right judgement leads to right actions. So there is constant success for such a person. Self-respect is the state of mind where I am able to appreciate my own uniqueness and give regard to myself. When I am able to be in my stage of self-respect, I am able to be stable in all situations. This seat of internal stability keeps me light and easy under all circumstances. I am also able to experience constant success even in the most difficult and challenging times.

Find The Goodness Within You !

Introspection enables one to be free from the influence of negativity. Introspection means the desire to be good. Introspection brings the ability to look within and see the true self in the mirror of the heart, thus enabling one to activate the inner spirituality. Then all effort made will be towards activating this inherent goodness. And slowly one finds that the behaviour associated with negative traits are no more expressed, as they begin to lose their hold. When I am able to introspect and look within, I can find the goodness that is there within me. Because of this, I naturally am free from expectations from others that they should recognise my goodness or consider me good. Instead I find myself content with what I am and continue to bring out the best from within me. I continue to learn from all situations and experience progress.

Have Love For True Knowledge !

True knowledge brings humility. True knowledge inspires and encourages one to bring about a practical change in one's life. The one with knowledge naturally imbibes it, which is also revealed in his practical life. This is because he is humbly willing to learn from all situations. As much as there is knowledge, so much there is divinity and elevatedness revealed in all words and actions. Also such a person keeps learning from all life's situations. To have the ability to learn from all that life brings is to have love for knowledge. Since I have love for knowledge, I am able to experience self-respect. This self-respect gives me the humility to accept situations and people as they are and keep learning. So whatever the situation or whoever the person I come across, I only find myself enriching myself and moving forward.

True Courage Brings About A Positive Change !

True courage brings benefit to the self as well as to others. When there is fear, there is some kind of danger, either for the self or for others. The one who fears, or the one who doesn't have the courage to accept and face situations, is not able to bring out the best form within himself. Such a person is constantly thinking of excuses and is trying to blame others for the mistakes that happen. With courage, if we are able to take up responsibility for every situation that we are faced with, we are able to be free from worry or tension. We will then be in a position to learn and find progress at every step. We find others giving us a lot of good wishes for our sincerity. We also become an inspiration for all others too to bring about a positive change.

Also the best is made out of all situations. When we are able to be enthusiastic under all circumstances, we are able to be tireless. This tirelessness gives us the courage to move on and experience constant success. We become aware of our resources and make the best use of them. We also experience internal progress, constantly.

One Of The Deepest Satisfactions In Life Can Come From Giving !

Some days its hard to get out of bed and get going. Why? Simple really. We try to reverse the energy flow in a universe where all energy is radiating outwards. We try to break one of the spiritual laws. We are taught that winning and achieving are about getting and keeping, when the truth is that winning is about giving. Winners are go givers not go-getters, and their definition of winning is not getting one over on the other guy, but overcoming their inertia and giving something of themselves to someone or something other than themselves. This reverses the energy flow from being outside in, to being inside out, and as we all know, one of the deepest satisfactions in life can come from giving. While it is hard to fathom living a life of giving, when everyone else is on the take, there is an ancient law which ensures that if we did, we would never go without. I think you know what that law is. It allows you to be motivated in a completely different way. No need for any complicated magical solutions ...try it today!

Allow Your Strength To Be Revealed In Your Words And Actions !

The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it. When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. When we are free from the identification with the weakness, we are able to bring about a change very quickly. We find it very easy to stabilise ourselves in the awareness of our strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all our words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

Be Obedient And Remain Content And Positive !

Obedience takes one towards the right direction. Obedience means understanding everything that comes one's way and allowing it to guide life in the right way because nothing comes without a reason. An obedient mind is able to see the positive aspect and understand why there is that kind of a situation and humbly allows the situation to do its work. When I am obedient I am able to remain content and positive. I am not disheartened by low situations but understand that every low situation pushes me upward with greater force. So I enjoy being obedient and easy under all circumstances, yet being powerful within.

Do Your Best And Use Your Resources For Your Progress !

Faith in one's progress brings contentment. Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress. Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate. Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation. The understanding that all life's situations are a training for him, automatically keeping him content in all situations. There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.

Make The Best Use Of What You Have !

The ones who are constantly happy are truly fortunate. Whatever the kind of situations needed to be faced, whoever the people and the different kind of personalities they come into contact with, the ones who are fortunate constantly enjoy. They also continue to take benefit and bring benefit to others too. Their fortune lies in their ability to perceive the positive aspect in everything and take benefit accordingly. When we are able to be happy under all circumstances, we are able to make the best use of whatever we have with ourselves. We then find ourselves full of all resources. We don't think of what we don't have but we are aware of and make the best use of what we have. So we find ourselves to be always lucky. We constantly move forward.

Become A Well Wisher !

To be a well wisher means to think of changing first. Being a well wisher just doesn't mean wishing others well. It also means having good wishes for the self and having the pure desire to bring about a change for the better in the self. So whatever the kind of situations, instead of just judging others and what they need to change, the one who is a well-wisher constantly brings about transformation in the self. For having worked on ourselves under all circumstances and having used every situation as a chance for self-progress, we constantly enjoy every thing that comes our way. We have no expectations, but just think of benefit for others and ourselves. We then never find any situation to be an obstacle, but use it as a step for progress.

Greatness Lies In Simplicity !



Greatness is visible in simplicity. The simplicity within us brings benefit to many. Simplicity doesn't mean we have to give up all we have, but it only means that we give up the attraction and attachment to whatever we are using. With simplicity our lifestyle takes on an easiness that in itself can be a healing source to those around. We need to make the practice of being detached even while using everything. We need not give up anything, but while using everything, we need to remember that what we have is for the use of everyone and not to get dependent on it. When we are detached in this way we will be able to bring benefit to all around us.

Always Be Ready To Accept Advice Or Suggestions !

To accept advice is to ensure self-progress. The natural state of the self is to ensure progress. Everything that is done by the self is for its progress. But the one who rejects advice rejects the progress of the self. To accept advice means to take the chance for whatever benefit that comes one’s way. When someone corrects us or gives us an advice or suggestions, if we accept it in the right spirit, we'll constantly learn from it. This will enable us to experience constant progress. We are also naturally able to give regard to everyone we come into contact with and remain in constant happiness.

Humility Earns Respect From Others !

Humility enables one to serve others. The one who is humble is the one who is complete and full. So just like a tree which is laden with fruit, bowing down and offering all it has humbly, the one who is full is ready for service. He is available for others to take benefit from whatever resources are there with him. This humility earns respect from others and gives happiness to all. When we are able to bow down with the awareness of what we have, we are fully in the stage of our self-respect. The more we are able to bow, the more others also bow down with regard to us and respect our fortune. This enables us to be a giver to those around and experience contentment - constantly.

By Perfection You Bring About Self Progress !

The ones who work towards perfection naturally inspire perfection in others. All life's situations are lessons for bringing about progress, for the one who is committed towards perfection. Such a person never expects others to be perfect, knowing that every human being has his own weaknesses. He is instead able to accommodate others' weaknesses. He only inspires others to bring about transformation and work towards perfection. When we are constantly working towards bringing perfection within ourselves, we are able to take everything that happens to us in a positive way, as a chance for bringing about self-progress. Also we are able to keep ourselves positive seeing only the goodness in the other individual and encouraging it. So we are able to enjoy each moment of our lives.

Experience Positivity From Within !

Love for positivity brings progress. When I have love for positivity, I will not be able to have negative thoughts for a long time. I will naturally put in effort, both internally and externally to come back to positivity. So this positivity spreads around to others too and serves in creating a positive environment. Because of my love for positivity, I begin to enjoy creating and maintaining positive thoughts. When there is experience of positivity within, there is the natural desire to sustain it. Then no negative thoughts or feelings are encouraged. Slowly I find myself being only positive.
