The more honest we are in our dealings with others, the more we are trusted. Honesty is very deep. It is common for people to say one thing and feel another, which, of course in not honesty. Honesty is only possible when we check our conscience and remain true to our highest values. Making our heart honest in this way brings the blessing of being deeply trusted by others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The first step towards conquering stress is to accept that it is not created by external events so much as by how we deal with them.
Before we get any kind of advancement or promotion in life, we need to have earned the right to it. There are no free gifts in life, nor there are any short cuts to success of a lasting nature. Being worthy of any kind of responsibility requires an attitude of service to others. We earn a right only when we have given cooperation to others from our heart.
Problems are simply challenges waiting for solutions to meet them. The two are partners, think with resolve that a solution will present itself and it will.
Find at least one good quality in everyone, no matter how many defects are visible to you. The more you focus on the good, the more power you give to people, the sooner they will be able to change.
Tolerance does not mean simply surviving a situation on a 'grin and bear it' basis. It means to respond to all situations with understanding and compassion, and never to allow your peace of mind and sense of contentment to be diminished.
To have a generous heart, a generous mind means to constantly have a big heart in every activity, i.e. to have good wishes for others and enable others to move forward. The sign of having a generous mind is to be free from jealousy, hatred and the nature of criticizing others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Sweetness is a virtue that searches for good in every person and situation. At its heart is the conviction that there is always something to be found. You simply have to have the patience to discover it.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Notice how your senses are connected to your mind, Anything negative they pick up, or generate will disturb the mind's working. To maintain peace of mind, use your eyes, ears and mouth with care.
Faith means that there isn't the slightest form of doubt in any situation or at times of obstacles. Situations have to change and they will continue to change. The supports that your faith has now will be removed, and even after that your foundation has to be strong. If your foundation is not strong, then supports are necessary. Therefore you need to maintain your peaceful, loveful state and your love and faith for God has to remain unshakeable.
When the fabric of our relationships is spun of Openness, Love & Trust,
Then in the silence between words, the tapestry is made complete.
Going into silence enables you to manage your thoughts better. You will find there is no need to think so much, that most of the answers you are looking for will come to you, without much effort on your part.
Humility makes you simple and truthful. The more humility you have the greater will be your understanding of the truth. And vice versa.
The power of Truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it for this only reveals your own stubbornness. Just be concerned with being it, and living it. Truth reveals itself at the right moment and right place.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
A soul who has thoughts of the true identity of ones' original Self, and pure and positive thoughts, remains so busy that they don't have a second or breath for waste thoughts, thus they remain safe from negativity.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Gods treasure of blessings is such an open unending treasure house store. There are no locks and keys. You can take as many treasures as you want. Constantly remember the words "if not now then never"
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Spiritual Love is such an elevated thing, that whether you do something or someone else does it, happiness is experienced by both. When there is love there is no consciousness of mine and yours.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
To experience every version of Spiritual knowledge is to constantly make ones self great with these treasures. These positive and pure thoughts means to churn the jewels of knowledge and experience spiritual intoxication.
Everyone is loving, but within love, there is on one hand love from the heart and on the other hand is love according to time, that of selfishness. The third is love at the time of desperation. The specialty of love of the heart is that the soul will easily experience all attainments constantly.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Everyone has specialties within them but must learn to use them and only then will it grow and become visible to others. We have the seed of specialty, but to make use of it means to plant the seed in the ground and allow the tree to emerge and grow. This allows the soul to grow and bear fruits.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The scriptures talk about Hanuman carrying a huge mountain on the palm of his hand, like a ball. In the same way, even if obstacles and difficulties as big as a mountain come, we need to change that huge thing into a small toy and let it pass, as in a game. Be light and make others feel light. This is called tolerance.
If there isn't Love in the heart, if there is only intellectual knowledge, the intellect will continue to battle with questions of Where, What, How & Why. When the soul is lost and merged in Love of God, there is total contentment and a full stop to all questions.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
By experiencing the virtue and power of tolerance, can we remain constantly cheerful. It is not called tolerance if you smile when someone praises you. But if you constantly smile at the time when an angry enemy showers you with bad language and there is no sign of wilting on your face or in your thoughts, that is called tolerance.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
It is love for God that makes every task easy and liberates the soul from labour. No matter how much knowledge and understanding there may be in the intellect, accurate knowledge means knowledge which is completely filled with love. If there isn't love, then knowledge is dry.
If there is love for God, then automatically the soul becomes co-operative with all because God is the seed. By giving water to the seed, every leaf automatically receives water and then there is no need to water each leaf individually. To be linked in love with the spiritual Father means to have love for all.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Allowing yourself to be controlled, either by others or by your own anger, represses your original qualities of tolerance and love, and thus creates a very deep kind of sorrow in the soul. To overpower this weakness, we need to be always aware that we are not only children of GOD but also heirs to His Divine qualities.
If your mood is always holy, then no other mood can overpower you. A holy mood means one who is constantly light, carefree, full of all treasures. You had many different varieties of mood: sometimes happiness, sometimes of thinking too much, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. So all these changing moods finish and become one of constant happiness.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Usually everyone has a celebration to create a mood of happiness; only that lasts for a limited period of time, but you can have a celebration for all time by being holy, and by maintaining a happy mood all the time. You don't have to create that mood, but it remains forever.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Spiritual love gives true comfort to the spirits, shows the true path and enables you to have all true attainments.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Liberate yourself from the bondages of the mind. It is wasteful thoughts that won't allow you to attain true freedom. True Independence is to be, in dependence of GOD.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Always wear the spectacles of seeing only specialty in others, so that which is wasteful is not even visible. Even if anything else is seen, still, never speak of those things.
Contentment is the easy method for spirituality and fulfillment is the natural outcome. The one who is constantly content is clearly seen to be always the embodiment of fulfillment. To be content means to have reached the stage of being complete with all achievements. Contentment is the easy method which enables you to inculcate all specialties. This treasure automatically attracts all other treasures to itself.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
One who does not inculcate the impure thoughts of anyone's weakness or defects are Vaishnav (vegetarian) as the thought is the food of the intellect. That means that through your intellect or mind, you have not absorbed any impure, waste thoughts. Being a true Vaishnav means purity in all three aspects mind, speech and actions.
Greater the amount of time one is fixed in the stage of concentration, that much time he can easily forget the body, physical world and all the problems related to it.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
To attain constant success remember the slogan,' Give regard and take regard.' To give others regard is to get regard from others. In giving, the taking is included. Regard can never be received by asking for it. It is not possible that you have but do not receive.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Where there is inner contentment there is fulfillment i.e. there is no trace of anything lacking. On the basis of contentment there is then the experience of having plenty of worldly wealth. Even two rupees feels like possessing two million rupees. If someone is a millionaire but has no contentment, then even millions cannot give satisfaction - they are beggars of their own desires.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Godly love makes one cross the three steps very easily. First the detachment from body consciousness, secondly the detachment from all bodily relationships, thirdly the detachment from attractions of this physical world and physical objects.
__ ~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The power of silence is a very special weapon needed for the each soul as it changes the entire world from peacelessness to peacefulness. It not only transforms the human souls but also nature. At the moment, through words you can carry out physical tasks easily. In the same way through the power of silence and pure thoughts you can easily carry out physical tasks and even inspire others to carry them out.
If the attitude in a relationship and connection is not elevated, no matter how many methods you apply there will be no success, because the seed is the attitude, the tree is the method and the fruit is success. If the seed is weak, then no matter how huge the expansion of the tree, it will not bear fruits of success.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
A swan who is able to use its powers at an appropriate time is one whose intellect is constantly holy. In English, "holy" means pure, In Hindi, "ho" & "li" means "that which has passed". So the one whose intellect is holy is clean, pure and has the practice of letting past situations be past.
In order that your tasks and methods are accurate, to achieve success, you have to have an elevated attitude i.e. an attitude of brotherhood and soul consciousness. There should always be an attitude of love, co-operation, selflessness and no vicious or wasteful thoughts. Vicious and wasteful thoughts cloud your vision and affect your tasks accordingly.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Your pure feelings for good wishes gives hope to those who have lost all hope, gives them courage to make themselves better, and thus making the world a better place.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
For any task to be a success, the power to discriminate and power to judge is very important. When you meet people, if you are not able to discern their feelings, or after discerning if you are not able to take the accurate decision, then you cannot achieve success in the task.
A swan uses its power of discrimination to discriminate and separate out the pearls from the stones. All of us have the power to discriminate, however if the power of discrimination is not applied when it is needed, it does not serve you and is a waste.
To have good wishes for others, you need to have pure, selfless thoughts. Such people not only fill others with happiness, but are themselves happy, complete and content. Those who have waste thoughts for others or even themselves, are constantly empty and experience themselves to be weak. They cannot have good wishes for others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu
There is one sort of realization which comes with an honest and true heart. The second variety of realization is when a mind accepts that something is not accurate/not correct and the conscience speaks out that this is not accurate but in order to prove oneself a bigger person or in order that one's name is not weakened in front of others, they kill their conscience. To kill the conscience in this way is a great sin of suicide.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Today there is a need for souls who have good wishes for others. Therefore you jewels who have good wishes for others are extremely loved by the world. To have pure thoughts is the special basis needed to become the one who conatlantly has good wishes for others. If sometimes there are wasteful thoughts, or waste thoughts about others then you cannot be the ones who have constant good wishes for others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Many people will want to quarrel and fight with you; realize that the only weapons you need are a smile and a lovable attitude.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The definition of purity is not simply the vow of celibacy. The sign of purity is cleanliness and honesty. Waste thoughts are also a sign of impurity.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
The vision of those who have an elevated personality will never be drawn towards anything or anyone. Their vision will not be drawn towards others by thinking," This one is like this, this one is like that, this one is doing this, this one is doing that, why should I not do this? Why can I not do this? Why?"
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Circumstances will come and they will go, but your stage should constantly be full of all the treasures that God has given you and you will remain content.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Those who have a spiritual personality are complete with all attainments. They are complete in their nature, they are complete in their sanskars and complete in their relationships and connections; infact, they are overflowing. They will never experience a lack of anything in the treasure-store of their attainments, Why? Because they remain content. The vision is drawn towards the attainment of others whey you lack something in your own self. If you have powerful and pure vision, then, like the sun which does not allow darkness to remain, it finishes it and the darkness changes into light, in the same way, your pure vision, your angelic form will finish devilish sanskars.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
You may observe the games of the circumstances, but observe them whilst being seated on the seat of being a contented and detached observer.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Constantly keep the specialty of success in front of you. Success is your birthright. To use everything in a worthwhile way means to attain success. Do you have the power of success? You already have success; there is no question of whether there will be success or not. So constantly keep the faith in success within you. It has to happen.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Do not become tired in making effort over little things. May be, you are not able to get rid of your jealousy, or you still get angry or certain harsh words still emerge. Do not use your time in making effort for a single aspect. Put the seed right and the tree will automatically become all right. The seed of all of this is thought. If your thoughts are elevated, everything else is automatically elevated.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
If it were not like this, then it would be like this, if it were not like this, it would be like that". By thinking such thoughts, you are accumulating in the account of wastage. Your income gets depleted; your account of accumulation finishes. Think, but do not think waste thoughts, and definitely save something as saving will give you a lot to happiness.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
When a wrong action is performed, think it has happened and so it is finished, but pay attention in the future. But, sometimes instead of paying attention you create tension.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Foundation of purity in life gives the experience of lightness and happiness.
Balance in being loveful and lawful makes you merciful and world benefactor.
