Tolerance Is A Virtue !

Even if someone is insulting you, your face should not have any waves of sorrow, you should just remain content. Those who are insulting you will then become tired. It should not be that he may speak for one hour and you spoke for just one second. If you speak or think for just one second, if you showed signs of discontentment on your face, you have failed. "I tolerated so much, I tolerated it for one hour, and then the gas was released from the balloon." So do not become gas balloons.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.



Valentine Special - Thoughts For Valentine's Day !

Waste Thoughts Fluctuates Your Mind !

Sometimes, because you are not busy in any work, waste thoughts become the greatest work and that attracts you towards itself. You may not have any physical work, but because the power of determination is scattered, the mind and intellect,which you want to keep set, fluctuate.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.




Valentine Special - Special Poems For Valentine's Day !

Just maintain courage. Become worthy to receive that courage and you can go ahead in a short time. Therefore, don't be disheartened, thinking:"I don't know if I will be able to become this or not". Do not be disheartened.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.




Valentine Special - Romantic Poems For Valentine's Day !

Speak Softly !

Speaking loudly is to disturb others. Don't say," My voice is like that." You can become the conquerors of Maya and yet you can't become the conqueror of your own voice! So don't speak wasteful words or words that disturb others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Valentine Special - SPECIAL MESSAGES FOR Valentine's Day !

Beggars Can Never Be Choosers !

Those who beg can never become complete. You may not ask for anything else, you may not say anything else, but you beg a lot in a royal way. The royal form of begging is, that you earn a temporary name for yourself that you are given some regard, that your name is listed. But whilst you are a beggar, you cannot become complete with the treasures of happiness. To chase after your desires or the things that you ask for is like chasing after a mirage. Constantly keep yourself safe from this. .

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.






Valentine Special - SPECIAL MESSAGES FOR Valentine's Day !

Speak Less But Softly !

You have had a conversation with someone of just a few words, but you would continue to speak about that for another half an hour. You speak too many words then. If you can do something by just speaking four words then don't speak ten to fifteen words. You have a slogan: Speak less and speak softly.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.



Valentine Special Quotes ! - To Read More.......

Handle Your Desires Carefully !

It has been seen that desires are like walking in the sun. When you see yourself walking in the sun, your shadow will go ahead of you and if you try to catch hold of it, would you be able to do it? And when you turn back, where would the shadow go? It would follow you. So desires are something that attract you to themselves and make you cry, whereas when you let go off desires, they come following you.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

To Be Big Means Great Work !

The greater you are, the more responsibility you have. To become big is not just something to be happy about, but since you have a big name, you must perform a big task.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Don’t Hurt Anyone !

There are many wasteful words spoken jokingly throughout the day. They will not speak good words. They won't even say that it wasn't their intention, but they just do it jokingly for the sake of it. That fun is causing sorrow to someone.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Tolerate With Happiness !

Do not be afraid in having to tolerate anything. Why do you become afraid? Is it because you feel, "Why should I tolerate something that is not true? Why should I tolerate something wrong?" But, Father gave you the order to tolerate? not the one who told lies give you this order? Very many children do tolerate, but there is a difference in tolerating out of compulsion and tolerating out of love. Since you are tolerating, then tolerate with happiness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Shed The Anger !!

Anger also creates waste thoughts. Lust means to have wasteful vision. Underline purity in your vision and attitude. The main foundation for this is to have purity in your thoughts.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Beautiful World !

The householders have to make the entire old world and the souls of the world into a lotus pond. A world into a lotus pond. A lotus looks very beautiful in the middle of a pond. So make this world into the greatest lotus pond, so that whatever people look, they only see lotus flowers.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Free Yourself From Any Jhamela !

The easiest method to become free from obstacles is to make yourself free from jhamela. "Do not look at others" but free yourself from any jahmela. Whatever there is a jhamela, move your mind and intellect away from it.

– Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

God Is With You !

Thoughts of the original self means to finish your own subtle weaknesses and your little mistakes by thinking about them and then transforming them. If your name is in God's heart what else do you want?

– Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Let The Heart Not Lose Hope !

The main bondage is that his soul lacks the power of controlling thoughts and so is in bondage to its own thoughts. There is the experience of dependence and outside influence. A soul caught in his bondage of thoughts creates many things, destroys them and tires itself in this wasteful activity. Then the heart shrinks and loses hope.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In The Intellect !

One with faith in the intellect always speaks the truth. Some have faith in the intellect in knowing, some in believing and some in being.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

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.

Inculcate Pure Thoughts !

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.

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.
