Inner Peace Is Important For Real Freedom !

When there is the connection outside without looking within, there is inability to be the best and do the best in situations. Instead if there is a constant connection within, before the connection is made outside, then it becomes easy to express the inner qualities necessary to deal with the problems outside. When we allow our mind to get disturbed over small things, it will cost us our peace of mind. We are not able to retain our inner power, which is needed to experience freedom. On the other hand, if we are able to retain our inner peace, We can be connected with our innate divine nature. We are able to experience true mastery.

Cool And Calm Mind Gives You The Right Perspective !

The usual response to negative stimuli in the environment is to react negatively. The impact of such stimuli on the sense organs is negative, which brings out negative behavior too. The one who is able to spend a few moments in silence before responding to situations is to be a master who is free from negativity. When I am a master I am able to remain stable in all situations. I have the practice of calming my mind and looking at the situation in the right perspective. My mind grows strong in its commitment to peace and truth in action. I don't allow the sense organs work according to the previous conditioning. Instead I consciously monitor, giving them right direction.

Respecting Others Will Give Us Respect In Return !

We normally expect respect from others and when others don't behave according to our expectations, we tend to get disappointed. We only think about what else the others have to give but things always don't go according to our expectations. Instead of expecting others to change according to our wishes and instead of expecting others' respect, we need to see whether we give respect to the other person or not. The more we have the practice of accepting and respecting people for what they are, we are able to keep our mind at peace (with no waste and negative thoughts). Also people start responding to our feelings and give us respect too.

An Useful Positive Message To Help You Progress !

When we consider ourselves to be big, we usually expect from others. We usually want others to give respect and be obedient to whatever we say. But not always do we find others listening to us or obeying us. We are then disappointed and try to use more of our authority in a forceful way. To be big means not to expect to take but to be a giver. If we are big, we definitely also need the understanding that we are in a better position than the other person and so we need to give. This attitude will help us get others' good wishes which will help us progress and we continue to achieve success.

Relaxed Mind Generates Power !

When there is a problem in the body, there is naturally pain experienced. The one who is caught up with the pain is not able to take the mind beyond it. Such a person usually continues to describe the pain and tends to focus on it more and more. So there is inability to use the power of the mind to relieve oneself from the pain. When there is the ability to make the mind strong even when there is a problem in the body, we are able to have the courage to win over the pain. We don't get caught up with the pain. On the other hand, the relaxed attitude of our mind generates power, which can even cure the body.

Great Motivational Thought !

Normally we celebrate for sometime and at that time forget our worries. But once the celebration is over we come back to our routine thoughts. Celebration is seen as something temporary and is in the company of those dear to us. But not always do we get such a chance to celebrate. Hence we usually keep looking forward to some new celebration. Real celebration is to enjoy the beauty and joy of each and every moment. This moment is special and it is this moment that is the real celebration. Such celebration keeps us in constant enthusiasm. So we will stop looking for special occasions to be happy but will be able to make the best use of this moment and give others that experience too, instead of being dependent on others for celebration.

Intelligent Thought For Constant Self-Progress !

Normally we tend to associate success with what we get, rather than how much effort we put in. So sometimes when things don't turn out the way we expect them to, we tend to have negative feelings because of the thought of being unsuccessful. So we tend to stop putting in further efforts for success. When we put in accurate efforts for the success of every task, we naturally try to do the best. Because of our own contribution, others too help us and contribute whatever they can to achieve what we set out to do. So there is success in everything. When we do the right thing, we will be able to experience constant self-progress, even if the result is not what we have expected.

Encourage Specialities Of Others For Their Development !

When we come into interaction with others we are concerned with their negative aspects. We are aware of where they are going wrong and we try to correct them too. But usually the other person doesn't realize his mistake. The more we try to emphasize on negativity, the more difficult it becomes to make him realize. On one hand we find that he is not benefited, and on the other, we are filling ourselves with negativity too. The best business in life is that of seeing specialties and contributing our own specialties for others' growth. When we are aware of others specialties, we are able to encourage them to use them for growth. Also we are free from negativity. Further, using our own specialties enriches others and us too. These specialties are easily available for us at the time of need, for having used them properly.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Loving Others Truly Is An Expression Of Inner Growth !

When there is true love, there is an expression of inner growth - not just for oneself but benefit for others too. When there is true love, there is the ability to express one's own qualities without being negatively influenced by others' negative character traits. To love is to know that what is being given is true. When I have true love for those around me, I am able to win the hearts of others. Since the expression of my love is consistent, others are able to return that love and give me good wishes. I find myself as a source of support for others and they are able to use me as a support for their growth.

Sharing Inner Resources Enriches Our Life !

When we think of sharing, we sometimes wonder if it is really beneficial. Normally the belief is that when we share any thing or resource, we find ourselves a little poorer with that resource. So we do not want to consistently share which is believed will bring benefit only to the other person. When we share inner resources like happiness, peace, love etc. we are enriched. Every time we give, we not only get back from others but also experience that quality ourselves. When we share our physical resources too, it is our own experience which is important than the outcome. That means, I enjoy giving itself rather than expect appreciation (which may or may not come!)


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

An Intelligent Inspiring Message !

When we think of resources that God has given us, we tend to think that everything should be accepted blindly. Such acceptance sometimes leads us to become passive, or even make us to get caught up in the negativity of the situation. To consider ourselves as a trustee of God is to appreciate what is happening, knowing that God is responsible. It also means that we need to be a valuable instrument and do our bit well. When we make full effort handing over the responsibility to God, we are able to do our best using all the available resources. Yet, we don't experience the burden of the situation.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Always Find The Positive Aspect In Others !

When someone relates something to me about another person's negativity, I tend to listen to it with great interest. I then find that the other person is greatly encouraged to speak about it. But such waste talk is not really useful for anyone and I find that there is no solution for the problem at hand. When someone is talking about the negativity in another person I need to question myself if listening to this is of any use to me, or if I can do anything about the situation. If I cannot do anything I need to remind myself that there is no use listening to such waste talk. Instead I need to make an attempt to look at the positive aspect in the other person so that the other person can see that too.

Meditation Helps You To Control Your Thoughts For A Better Existance !

Meditation simply means the management of your thoughts. It is to have the ability to think of what you want and when you want, without interference from other thoughts. Meditation is to develop the ability to concentrate on a particular subject without being attracted and influenced by the five senses, the five vices and the five elements.

Yoga, which is associated with meditation, simply means to have union or make connection with some object, subject, person or God. However, yoga is usually associated with spirituality. Yoga is to have connection and to have dialogue or sweet conversation with the divine source of inspiration, whom many call God. Meditation, therefore is a prerequisite or condition that assists spiritual seekers to have unbroken, undisturbed and continuous access with divinity and this experience is called yoga, another form of prayer.

Motivate Yourself To Bring About Positivity By Love And Blessings !

The world is trapped in the mire of barriers (politics, language, caste, gender) and this has distanced us from each other, and from what we require for wholesome existence: love, respect, understanding, and freedom.

We are scared to love for fear of being taken for granted but God's love is very liberating, since God's vision surpasses all physical and imposed barriers: every soul is seen for what it is and what it is capable of; no one is condemned for their past; no expectations are kept nor requests for anything in return but yet God does know the value of His love. God has the faith that love and blessings will transform negativity in His children eventually.

True love and good wishes for another soul is the seed that shall bear fruit in time. God says, you cannot love Me completely if you dislike any of My children because God cannot reside in a heart filled with hateful feelings.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus Your Powerful Energies Towards Your Goals !

While moving towards the destination, we generally tend to get distracted with even the little things that happen. Even a small negative or positive incident is enough to distract our thoughts from the destination. We become so busy with such things that our vision moves away and there is no movement forward. We need to first clarify our goal. Once we have done this, we need to take care that our vision is focused on it. Even when situations come by, trying to distract us, we need to remind ourselves that these are only side-scenes, which are not important for us. It is more important to keep our energies focused towards the goal.

Respect Is A Practical Form Of Love !

Love is the strength that gives you life. When you receive love you lose fear and you can give the best in you. The practical form of love is respect. Respect means acceptance of the fact that we are all different and unique and at the same time, we all have something important and valuable to share.

Humility Results in Power of Truth

Humility enables people to realize their mistakes and correct themselves. Real humility results in so much power of truth that we don't need to say anything at all in words. The very power of our inner state of being will make the other person realize the error of their ways. While giving directions or corrections to someone, I need to check my own attitude, reminding myself of the humility within and only then say what I have to say. With humility my words will be for their benefit and this will enable them to learn.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Truth Never Needs To Be Proved.

Truth never needs to be proved. Truth is always revealed at the right moment and at the right place. You don't need to be concerned about proving it. You need only to be concerned with being it and living it. Trying to prove truth reveals stubbornness. When you find that someone is not believing what you say, ask yourself if you believe in it. If you do, then you need not be concerned of proving it to others. Only where there is doubt in yourself you'll want to prove it to everyone.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Humble In All Situations with Your Self Respect

True humility comes from self-respect. When we are full and in our state of self-respect, we will be able to remain humble in all situations. When there is no self-respect, any comments or criticism hurts the ego and we tend to lose our humility. When I find myself getting affected by criticism, I need to check whether I am sure of what I'm doing. Let me look within myself and see what specialties I have that I can use in my daily life. So when I increase my own confidence in this way and do everything with this confidence, I'll be humble.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Move Forward With Courage

Even when things go wrong to have the courage is to ensure progress. Mistakes do happen, but we must keep our heart happy and have the courage for the future. Whatever happens there is always a lesson to be learnt which would be useful for the future. All we need to do is to take this learning and move forward with courage. When things go wrong in a big way we need to remember that those obstacles have come to make us stronger. Let us take the determined thought not to lose courage whatever happens. When we maintain courage we will find things turning out the best.

Tolerance Enables One to Learn and Improve

Tolerance enables one to learn from mistakes. When one is sure of what he is doing and he is in his stage of self-respect, criticism can be taken in the right way. This will give the ability to look within when something goes wrong. Instead of justifying mistakes there will be the ability to learn from them and improve. When someone criticises us, we need to remind ourselves that we have something to learn from it. Let us ask ourselves if there is at least a small aspect that we could learn from and incorporate in our life. Let us take this aspect and leave the rest.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Fulfill Your Responsibilities Powerfully

The one who works in coordination with others is the one who can fulfill responsibilities well. Responsibilities can be fulfilled well when there is the recognition that each one can contribute something to the task. It is also essential to create a cooperative rather than a competitive environment. Then there would be no feeling of superiority or inferiority in anyone. When we are responsible to complete some task, we need to involve all the people who can help in it. When we do this we will find our task finishing faster. Also we would find that we would get the good wishes of all the people involved in the task.

Love Brings the Power to Forgive.

The one who has love and is able to forgive is the one who brings lightness. Love brings the power to forgive. When we love someone it is very easy to forgive even when something goes wrong. Then we are able to do something to better the situation. This environment of lightness based on forgiveness inspires the other person to contribute too. This brings about learning and progress without any feeling of heaviness. When we find someone making a mistake, let us remind ourselves that if we have to help the person progress we have to forgive. Along with it let us learn from the mistake myself and provide an environment of lightness and learning for the other person too. Then the mistake will never be repeated helping him to move forward with lightness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Friday, July 06, 2007

Move Forward With Lightness

To forgive oneself is to move forward with lightness. When we make a mistake, the usual reaction is to feel guilty about it. Consequently there is a lot of heaviness, which will not let us make the best use of the time in our hands. We will only be caught up in the past and not be able to make full use of the present. So it is important to be light yet not be careless. When we do something wrong, all we have to do is to find out the weakness that is working behind our mistake. Then we will be able to learn from it. When we do this we will be able to forgive ourselves and use every incident that happens as a gift for our progress. I will then never be stuck, but will be able to move forward with lightness.

Have Faith in Yourself!!!

Happiness stays in the life of the one who has faith in the self. When there is faith, there is obvious happiness visible in thought, word and action. Whatever the obstacles come by, faith in the self brings the confidence to face all obstacles very easily and happily. Whatever the task we take up let us remind ourselves again and again that we are going to succeed in it. This gives us the faith to go on with happiness in spite of seeming difficulties.

Be Happy & Change Negative Things into Positive

True happiness doesn't come from external things or people but from within. As long as we depend for our happiness on external sources, there is every chance that we are disappointed. True happiness is that which comes from within. It is to enjoy and cherish each moment. When we do this happiness spreads to others too. With this thought today, smile at everyone and everything that comes your way. When you believe I am happy you will be able to take even the negative things in the most positive.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep Your Mind Free to Get Solutions

Situations do bring a lot of challenges for us, but where there is fear or worry while facing them, there cannot be peace. As long as we continue looking at the problem instead of searching for solutions we cannot remain in peace. Let us think of something that we consider as a problem, something about which we are thinking a lot. Now let us see if we can find a solution for it. If we feel we cannot, it is better to leave thinking about it rather than to worry about it. When we keep the mind free in this way, we will get the solutions automatically.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Generous for Others Benefits

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with one's own specialities and virtues. The one who is generous becomes cooperative and enables others to become virtuous through his own virtues and fills others with his specialities. To use specialities in this way, is to ensure that they increase. Let us think of something that is very special in us. Today let us take the thought of using this speciality of ours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, we will find ourselves improving too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

With Own Specialities & Virtues Move Towards Success

To be generous with one's own specialities and virtues is to ensure success. Deep within, each and everyone have treasures of virtues and specialities that could be used. The more we are generous with these treasures and use them for others' benefit, we find that they are available for us too. This ensures success in our life. In order to achieve constant success, we need to be in constant touch with our virtues and specialities and virtues. Each day let us think of one speciality or good quality that we have that can be put to use. The more we use our speciality, the more it will get strengthened and will be available for us even in the worst situation. Thus we can move towards success.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Action of Enlightenment

Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we relise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances, or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and . . . relax!

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Power of Silence!!

The power of silence can bring peace to any situation. The instruments for the power of silence are pure thoughts and pure feelings. We can give others an experience with the power of our silence. When we understand and experience the power of silence we will become more powerful. We will then be able to experience peace that will naturally spread to others too. When we have to correct someone in any situation we first need to remind ourselves that words will not work but silence based on pure feelings and love will surely work. When we accept the person as he is with love we will be able to bring about a change in him. The lesser we talk the more the peace that is created.

Your Hurdles Become Opportunities with Determination

Determination can change even opposition and make things happen right. When we are able to create faith and determination in whatever we have taken up, then automatically hurdles become opportunities. We will then receive cooperation from others making the task successful. Each day we need to spend some time to check all those aspects that did not turn out right. Then we also need to see whether there has been a lack of determination in any of those tasks. If so, let us place in front of ourselves the aim and its attainments and fill ourselves with determined feelings to accomplish the task.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Determined Thoughts to Overcome Weaknesses

To have a determined thought to overcome weaknesses is to be free from them. We only need to take a determined thought to overcome our weaknesses and we will. Then the influence of others' carelessness will not be on us but the influence of our determination will be on the others. First we need to take up any weakness of ours and along with it take the determined thought to overcome it. Even if we see others with the same weakness, we should not let it loosen our determination in overcoming that weakness. Let us make sure we don't give any excuses to ourselves but work on it till we overcome it.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Monday, June 18, 2007

Power of Determination

The power of determination brings thought into practice. We do have a number of thoughts that we would like to put into practice. Most of the times it doesn't happen that way and they remain merely thoughts. It is necessary to strengthen such thoughts with the power of determination and we will be able to make them practical. Let us first think of something that we wanted to do but could not bring into practice. Now let us take this thought once again and see why it is important for us to bring it into practice. Once we understand this we will be able to be determined to put it into practice.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Take a Single Step With Courage

A single step taken with courage brings a thousand fold help from God. If there is fear due to which we are not able to take the first step, we will never be able to achieve big things. Even if something looks impossible, with a single step of courage it can be made possible and we will then be able to receive maximum help. God of course doesn't do our work but he does the work of giving us help. Let us start with something new after surrendering it to God not just as a ritual, but with firm faith in our mind that we will receive His help. When we do this, help will surely come from some or the other means.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Thought Now & Ensure Success

To have the determination to do things immediately is to ensure success. The one slogan that is good to remember is 'Now or never'. If we are not able to use the thought we have immediately we will never be able to, because the strength of the thought begins to gradually reduce till it doesn't seem important anymore. Also there might not be enough time for it in the future. Let us first think of something that we want to do and take a thought, "if I do it now it will happen or it can never happen." When we think in this way we will not postpone but do what is required immediately.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

We Are Victorious

To maintain courage and faith is to ensure victory. To believe in one's own victory is to give ourselves the wings and the strength to fly. With just this belief we will have the courage to work on our obstacles with ease and win over them. Before we restart anything that we had failed in before or even when we start a new important task, we need to make sure that we tell ourselves that we are victorious. When we remind ourselves again and again that victory is our birthright, we will automatically get the courage to succeed.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Benefits of Healthy Attitude...!!!

When there is a balance between easiness and reliability, there will be benefit for others. When we understand our responsibility we would understand that what we do affects the lives of others too. So we will be cautious. Apart from this we will also know to take care of our own well-being because we would know that others will gain form our healthy attitude. Let this day be dedicated for removing some weakness within ourselves that is creating an obstacle for others and us. When we do this we will not only be helping ourselves but there will be benefit for others too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Courageous All The Time and You Will Never be Defeated

The sign of courage is that there will be no defeat. During difficult situations if we have waste thoughts, words or actions it means that we are being defeated. Whatever the situation we are faced with, when our thoughts, words and actions are made powerful with our courage we will never be defeated. Whatever the situation may be we need never ask what will happen or how it will happen. These are waste thoughts that will not let us find solutions. Instead of having such thoughts we just need to remind ourselves that we are courageous and try and find the best solution for the problem at hand.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Detached from Results and Fulfill Responsibilities Powerfully

Responsibility is best fulfilled by the one who is detached. When one is attached to the task that he is responsible for it leads to worry,doubt and fear. This can have a crippling effect on decision-making and result in difficult situations. On the other hand, the one who isdetached is the one who is able to see things clearly and so fulfill all responsibilities with lightness. When we have to take up some newresponsibility we need to tell ourselves that we will do our best in fulfilling the responsibility. When we become detached from theresult of the task we will find ourselves doing our best because there are no negative thoughts.

Love Makes Us Tolerant

When there is love, tolerance becomes easy. Love makes us free from expectations, which enables us to accept people as they are. The more we go within ourselves we are able to discover our own strengths. We will automatically be a giver in all situations and we can tolerate very easily. Let us think of one person in whom we are not able to tolerate some quality. We then need to tell ouselves that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, we will accept this person as he is. When we change our attitude towards that person we can be tolerant.

Have Faith in God and Impossible becomes Possible

Faith in God gives the power to face the different challenges of life. In the difficult situations that come in our life when we have faith in God, the power within is brought out. With the faith that God is with us, we can transform negative to positive, and impossible becomes possible. When any task demands strength beyond our capacity, let us make the all-powerful God our companion. With the power of His companionship we will find things a lot easier to handle. Because of our faith help automatically comes.

Change Yourself & Inspire Others to Change

The one who is responsible changes first before he expects others to change. The one who is responsible is a leader. He would take up the responsibility to change himself first instead of waiting for others to change. With the change that he brings in himself he inspires others to change too. When we think of any situation where we were expecting someone else to change, we also need to think of one aspect in this situation in which we can bring about a change in ourselves. We need to take up the responsibility of changing this and we would find ourselves progressing, thus inspiring others to take the inspiration to change too.

Pure and Selfless Actions Gives Constant Happiness...!!!

Happiness is earned by those whose actions and attitudes are pure and selfless. When the actions are pure and selfless there is no trace of negativity. Where there is no negativity, the mind becomes free from feelings of guilt, fear etc. This automatically ensures constant happiness. If there is no happiness, there is definitely some kind of negativity. So I need to check the actions that I perform. They need to be not only for my own benefit but also for the benefit of all. I will then find that I am able to be in constant happiness.

Balancing Your Acts Makes You Successful In Your Relationships !

To be balanced is to have the ability to do the right thing at the right time. It is the ability to use the head and the heart at the same time. It is the ability to have love and discipline. There is neither too much love nor too much discipline. There is an equal quantity of both. When there is balance in my every act I am successful in my relationships. Because of this I receive their blessings too. I experience success in all I do and am able to enjoy a life of bliss. I am not caught up with questions about anything but am able to get the solutions in a second.

Great Influential Thought !

The practice of silently watching life from the vantage point of being an observer enables us to more clearly understand events and other people's inner concerns and qualities. We become slower to judge and better able to respond openly and thoughtfully, free from any influence of the situation itself and from subtle pull of our own or another's personality.

Great Positive Message - Conversation with God.

One of the best ways to remain light, even in the middle of chaos and heaviness, is to keep a conversation with God. Chatting to God, whose responsibilities are unlimited, about trivial matters that are wearing us down gives us a more entertaining view of life. It requires a certain stillness of mind to hear His advice, but with practice we learn to sense His perspective on our minor irritations. Since His mind radiates lightness and love, the very act of opening ourselves up to him enables us to lighten our burdens.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Practicing Patience Makes One Happy !

There are many reasons why people oppose each other; misunderstanding, resistance to change, competitiveness. If someone decides to hold on to their negativity, no amount of analyzing or reasoning can ease the situation. At such times, only patience and more patience will help a closed mind gently unfurl itself.

Encouraging Inspirational Sentences !

No one wants to feel pitied by another; it is a demeaning experience. However a gentle form of encouragement can enable us to believe in ourselves again and regain our optimism and courage. A person with the quality of mercy works on such subtle level that the support given never demeans or implies weakness in the other person.

Positive Thoughts Make Our Mind Feel Contented !

The more positive the thoughts flowing through our mind, the more contented we would feel. It is easy to feel contented when we are praised and appreciated, but to remain contented when we are criticized and rejected is the mark of true spiritual strength. The way to develop this is to learn about God's way of loving. Only when we are in deep contemplation can we see God showing us the kind of love we need to express so that we ourselves never reject or criticize and always generate good wishes for others. Then we will be satisfied no matter what life throws at us.

Silence Creates Harmony In All Relationships !

It is when we silence the chattering of our mind that we can truly hear what is in our heart and find the still, clear purity that lies within the soul. Spiritual love carries us into the silence of our original state of being. This silence contains the power to create harmony in all relationships and the sweetness to sustain them. And it is when we are silent that we can let God into our heart and mind, filling us with peace, love and power.

There is happiness when each moment is used in a worthwhile way. Happiness is such nourishment that it can transform a person from weak into powerful. It makes difficult things easy and heavy things light. To remain happy and share happiness with others is a great act of charity. No matter what happens, my happiness should not be lost.

Experience Wonderful Positive Thoughts !

In spiritual terms, royalty refers to an inner state of dignity and an attitude of service to humanity. Before taking charge of others, let us learn to rule our own heart and mind with love and compassion. Let us focus not on other people's weakness, not demand anything of anyone, and always be available to support and encourage. A leader of this kind does not chase after power and position, or expect anyone to obey; yet others naturally want to follow.

Humility Leads You To True Values !

Humility grows a little more each time we step away from our own feelings and opinions and genuinely listen to the experience of another human being. Humility is dedication to the extent that no acknowledgement is sought for the self. Only when we have learned to value others no more no less that we value ourselves can we be said to be truly humble.

Divine Inspirational Feelings !

Many times people report the feeling of divine help and strength when they come close to breaking point. Actually divine help is always there, but we are usually so busy doing things in our own little way that we only look for it when we face absolute defeat. The tranquil nature of enlightened souls comes from their ability to take God's help constantly. A state of true surrender will lead to feeling of victory in everything we do.

Live By Your Values !

The highest discipline is to live by the values that are dearest to us. To do so we may have to sacrifice something, for example, praise, money or status. However, the rewards are enormous: self-respect, self-confidence and an ability to face adversity with courage and optimism.

Lovely Positive Feelings !

Without enthusiasm life becomes a dry and tasteless experience. Anyone can become enthusiastic for a little while but to keep enthusiasm steadily flowing through our life is a great art. The secret is remarkably simple; live in a state of appreciation; appreciate the special qualities within everyone; appreciate the wonder of nature and give thanks to the cycle of life and everyone's contribution to it. Enthusiasm is infectious, especially when it is based on an appreciation of, and love for life itself.

Worry eats away your life
Bribery finishes all justice
Greed finishes all honesty
Fear eats away a human being
The greatest jewellery in the world is your own nobility. Your own best companion in the world is your determined thought. Those who do not wish for anything receive everything. Renounce that happiness in which there is sorrow for others.

Meaningful Motivating Quotes !

If we allow bitterness and resentment to fester inside, it will make my relationships guarded and unsatisfying. The more we close down to others, the more we become a stranger to ourselves. By letting go of sorrow and negativity, we can keep our nature open and loving. Remaining open to life, with its constant adventures and opportunities to grow, is the only way to reach our full potential.

Powerful Inspirational Statements !

Unhappiness is experienced when there is no newness in dealing with the variety of life's situations. We continue to think the same way and act in the same way, so we are caught up in the same vicious cycle. We are not able to see anything new in the new situations that come our way. These turn to burdensome thoughts that drain out positive energy. We experience a lot of happiness when there is newness brought in responding to situations. The potential and the energy of the mind is channelised in a positive way so there is an experience of fulfillment and satisfaction. The mind is not caught up with negative or waste but is busy trying for the best solutions in all situations, and life itself becomes more beautiful.

Important Motivational Feelings !

Although there is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions, many times we find ourselves being rude to people. Although we try a lot to be nice and sweet (we are successful a few times too!) yet we are not able to sustain this all the time. There is some kind of negativity directly or indirectly expressed through our words and actions. This further creates negativity in our minds. When we are able to keep our 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 our way. So we are further open to all that is nice and beautiful and we express our own freshness and beauty in interactions. We are then able to experience constant growth and progress.

Beautiful Positive Words !

Think of those people you are giving some kind of help or support. Check if you are helping in such a way to make them independent or is your help making them dependent on you. Remind yourself that your aim in helping is to make people independent and strong in such a way that they are able to support others too. Remind yourself that your help should never make people weak.

Amazing Motivating Messages !

Everything depends on our thinking. If I think in the right way I will be light. If I think in a wasteful way I'll be heavy. Waste thoughts are dangerous. They waste my time. They allow the past to come alive, and then I forget the present and question the future.

Wonderful Inspirational Statements !

When the auditors are coming, everyone is on their toes. It is time to give account of what has gone on. All the details we regarded as unimportant before now are most vital. It is easy to perform action but when it is time to give an account for those actions, unless we have done our best at all times, there is not a good feeling. To do our duty to ourselves, our country and to God is a good thing. To do our best at all times brings a blessing of peace of mind. Useless expenditure and wastage prevents us from doing our best. Even if we do not value materials, energy and time, the fact remains they are valuable and sooner o later an account has to be given one way or the other. We may feel that no one is aware of our wastage. Accounts are kept not only in books but also in the Laws of the Universe. Keep a check on yourself daily and you will find ways to eliminate wastage.

Meaningful Positive Thoughts !

Purity of spirit is a beautiful state of being. It comes when we are willing to open our soul completely to the pure energy of God and let all the vestiges of negativity with us be gradually washed away. As purity increases, thoughts become simpler, fewer and infused with love and compassion for everyone we meet. Pure thoughts have remarkable power. Plans made in such a state of benevolence are blessed with success.

Good Motivational Sentences !

Have you ever noticed that resistance leads to persistence. And behind all resistance is self-created fear. The only way to relax and stay relaxed is acceptance. You don't have to agree, or follow, or condone, but acceptance means you begin any interaction with a serenity, which invites others to engage with you. And out of engagement comes the satisfaction of creative expression and an enriching relationship. That's relaxation in action!

Great Inspiring Quotes !

Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet, and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.

A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special.

Simple Motivating Feelings !

An inner power needed to make accurate decisions is the power to tolerate. Tolerance is not about having to put up with or endure. It's about respect for difference. It is about being able to appreciate diversity, the beauty in that diversity and difference. We need confidence to allow others to do what they are doing. Rigidity is a sign of lack of self-confidence and self-respect. It is better to have peace with someone than to have 100 percent perfection and tension. The quality of interaction comes from our ability to stop (that is not to be affected or influenced by what the other is doing). When I learn to stop, then I become more perceptive of the situation and am able to do make the right decision.

Exclusive Inspirational Thoughts !

When we are living from our inner self, it means that we are focusing our attention on the internal and when we observe the external world around us, we do not get lost, threatened or frightened by the events. We remain stable and experience the feeling of security and tranquility. The biggest obstacle to Inwardliness is living in our senses - organs of sight, hearing and eating. We lose sight of our inner being. We look at things with feelings of desire, greed, anger, attachment or arrogance. We hear indecent or degrading talk. We utter harsh words or get addicted to the pleasures of the palate. Living in the outward is living far away from the state of inwardliness, the consciousness that brings us serenity, happiness and peace.

Lovely Positive Statements !!!

It is much easier to believe that it's snowing, than to experience the snow. If you just believe, you can stay inside, stay warm and avoid the cold. That's why people are led up the garden path by others beliefs. It's easier and warmer. And all this 'believing stuff' starts in kindergarten. In the context of your spiritual or personal growth, believe nothing, experiment and test everything, in the laboratory of your own experience. Only then will you be able to separate truth from falsehood, reality from illusion, and lead others with integrity. Challenge and check at least one belief everyday. And if it's found wanting, chuck it or change it. Challenge, check, then chuck or change, now that's a master at work.

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, and to learn. Change is the play of the universe as it entertains us in the biggest light and sound show of all time. Why not sit back and enjoy the show!

Interesting Inspiring Quotes !

As we mature spiritually there is less need to have our self-respect bolstered by praise and special attention. As our thought processes become more compassionate and less self-obsessed, we feel increasingly satisfied with our lives and ourselves. We relate to people more easily and feel no need to draw attention to our successes or complain about our problems.

Amazing Positive Messages !!!

Although we speak with a lot of logic and make the other person understand what we mean to say, we sometimes find that they are not as effective as they should be. Sometimes our words are also misunderstood and misinterpreted.   So there are a lot of conflicts that rise because of this and spoil relationships with others. What we say is of course important, but much more important is how we say it and with what feeling. We need to keep ourselves free from any kind of attitude, when we have to say something to someone. This can happen when we have good wishes for others and thus we find that our words are effective.

Real Motivating Feelings !

Everyone naturally works for the benefit of the self and others. But sometimes we find that others are not able to appreciate our contribution. This is because we are not able to recognize the needs of the other person. So there is a tendency to ignore the needs of the other person. 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. 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.

True Inspirational Thoughts !

Sometimes people are not able to use their specialties. But even at such times if we have the ability to see their specialties, we will have the ability to give courage and enthusiasm to them. We can provide them with such an environment that allows their own growth. So whatever the circumstances may be, there is progress. When we are able to see the positive aspect of others, we can keep our mind free from a major portion of negativity. The potential of our thoughts can be used fully for our own inner progress and we can therefore make a contribution for the others too. This earns us blessings and good wishes from others, which further enhances our own progress.

Happiness is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humor and magic in each moment.

Unforgettable Motivational Sentences !

Each day we all need to recharge our spiritual battery, otherwise the light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts become fuzzy, and decisions are impregnated with doubt. Power is available inside and outside. Inside us we have a spiritual centre, at the core of our consciousness, pure radiant spiritual light. This is what we are. However it is now blocked by our attachments, the record of all our life experiences and many learned beliefs and perceptions. Outside us we have the sun of spirit, the source, invisible to our physical eyes but only one second away when we are able to quieten and focus our mind. Meditation connects us to both sources of power - that's why meditation is the way to access the real vitamins and the minerals that spirit craves. The vitamin of pure love and the minerals of truth and wisdom. Take time to empower yourself today. Sit quietly and connect your mind to each source and allow yourself to recharge and renew.

Best Positive Messages !

Just as the bird has to find the courage to let go of the branch in order to fly, so we also must let go of our branches if we are to know the exhilaration of soaring to the highest potential of our life. The branches we hold to are our inner attachments - our beliefs, ideas and memories. And then there are the outer attachments - people, possessions, positions and privileges are a few. But as long as we hold on to them we will live in fear (of letting go and loss) and we will never be free. And just watch those birds, by letting go of one branch they are able to spend the rest of their life alighting on a million other branches, and they enjoy the view from each. Are you flying and soaring in your life, or are you stuck on one branch, cursing others as they fly past. Go on, try it ...let go!

Patience is a virtue and a power too. Patience tells us that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and that we get over there one step at a time. Patience teaches us not to rush. Knowing that there is a reason and a season for everything it enables us to smile at the challenges, realizing that there is an answer to every problem. And, even though we cannot see it, yet there is awareness that within every crisis lies an opportunity.

Great Happy And Motivating Sentences !

Have you ever wondered why libraries have special atmospheres? They are places where many congregate but where silence is the code. Quietness in an atmosphere means there is the presence of quiet minds, and quiet minds are not only relaxed, they can concentrate easily and create more freely. Imagine you are in the library of your mind, browsing the accumulated wisdom on the shelves of your life - listen to the silence, be aware of the stillness. Now you can really listen. Now you can really hear. Now you can really think. Now you can create. And behold, you are an artist. Did you not know that silence and creativity are lovers?

Live simply so that others may simply live. It's a nice idea, but our lives are more complicated and complex than ever. What can you simplify today - your desk, perhaps your thoughts, a meeting? Simple means easy. Simple means asking, "Is this really necessary?" Simple means keeping it short but sweet. Simple means keeping the focus of your attention on what you need to do now. Today's mantra is, "lets keep it simple."

Lovely Inspiring Statements !

Only in relationships can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself, it's the mirror of your consciousness; this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness the joy and the sorrow. Poverty lies in running away from this, either in its sublimations or its identities.

Beautiful Motivating Quotes !

The most powerful anchor on our potential to soar high in life is the past. The past contains the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs and all our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin until we are able to say goodbye to the legacies of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the past is a resource of information for learning, but it is not a place to live. When you go to work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet? How often will you/did you live in the past today? Say goodbye and make it final. Saying farewell to yesterday, last month and last year is the sign of a person who wants to live for today and is truly alive to all the possibilities of 'the moment', while fully aware that all they think, say and do right now, creates tomorrow.

Healthy Positive Feelings !

A powerful, yet often misunderstood, aim of spiritual study is purity. Purity of the soul means to return to its original divine qualities. The soul has become so polluted with less than divine qualities; it can hardly enjoy being alive. Purifying the soul puts the higher self back in charge - useless and negative thoughts are removed and annoying habits finish. A pure soul cannot be touched by sorrow; indeed the power of purity is such, it serves to remove the sorrow of the whole world. Purity restores happiness - even bliss. All you need to do, in order to re-establish your purity, is want it. But you need to want it intensely, to the exclusion of everything else. The one thought, "I must become completely pure". Sparks a fire of love between you and God. This fire melts away all the pollution, and your purity becomes such a power that it frees you from all battles forever.

People are often unreasonable, self-centered: Forgive them anyway. If you are Honest, People may cheat you, but be Honest anyway. What you spend years to build, someone could destroy overnight.

The past is history, so let it go. The future is a mystery, so let it come. The present is a gift - be truly in the present today and release all your fears (based on the past) and your worries (imagined futures) - this is the work of someone who truly wants to awaken, and break free from the anchors and burdens of dead yesterdays and speculative tomorrows. Be here now they say, easier said than done, I hear you say. But no one can stop us, except for ourselves. There is only now - everything else is avoidance.

True Positive Statements !

Lightness is like hitting a spring of water inside. A sudden break out from the dryness of your normal reactions as you begin to express from within, rather than just responding to what you see outside. It usually happens when you come upon a quality that hasn't been destroyed or jaded by time, something very old and inherent in you that has survived. Most qualities and talents are developed through use, but are also in some way diluted and changed. Lightness is touching what makes you unique, because it has never changed.

Exclusive Inspirational Quote !

Never believe anyone who says we cannot change. Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating. What is your vision of yourself today - patient, relaxed, positive or tense, tight and negative? What do you prefer? So be creative – what does patience look like, feel like, what are you doing that is different when you are patient and you are expressing your power to ...wait? Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don't 'get a life' as some would cynically tell us - we create our life.

Good Motivating Feelings !

How fast can life become? How much can we do in the corporeal amount of time we have? There is only 24 hours in the day, but we're trying to fit 26 hours into it. If we could watch a movie of our average day we'd probably be amazed at all the things we try to do. And then there is the exact opposite. Some of us spend our lives watching others doing and achieving, and from these images we build such high expectations of our own life, and then sit around feeling utterly powerless in our attempts to meet these expectations. That powerlessness becomes hopelessness and hopelessness becomes depression. If we can just see this process and release these expectations. If we can at least be detached from any expectations, we will get back some of our inner power and self-motivation. It helps to stop watching others and their lifestyles, especially in the media, and then comparing yourself to them. It helps to eliminate all but one 'I wish' from your mind. There is only one valid and useful 'I wish' and it is simply "I wish to be me". For that is all you can ever be. It is all you can ever have. It is all that you are. And when you know it, you will be free of all expectation and desire, and able to enter the most relaxed state of being, at will.

Important Positive Sentences !

When there is criticism that comes one's way, there is a tendency to ignore or to defend oneself. Naturally we then lose the power to listen. We then find that we are not able to correct our mistakes and so they repeat. We thus find that we are not able to experience progress. We need to carefully analyze to see if there is any truth in any criticism that comes our way. If there is, correction can be made accordingly. When we listen to others with honesty, we are able to discover even the most negligible aspect in our behavior, which we can change. So we find ourselves constantly improving and progressing and moving on towards success. So having brought about a change, even the criticism that comes our way stops.

Good Inspiring Thoughts !

Most of us are of sound mind, but many of us have trouble maintaining a note of harmony and peace. Most of us know how to think, but few of us are able to control our thoughts. We all have the capacity to be creative, to image new ideas, but few of us are able to do it together and co-create in harmony with each other. We could all do with some mental training so that we may use the most powerful energy in the universe, the mind, which is always at our instant disposal. We can begin with mindfulness. It's a simple way to gently help our mind go where it is best to go, do what is the best thing to do. It begins by simply being fully aware of what you are doing. Mostly we are not fully aware, as our minds wander into the past and then into possible futures. We spend most of our time watching others and so rarely fully focus on what we are actually doing ourselves. Next time you sit down to a meal, watch yourself. Be aware of only what you are eating. Every time your mind wants to wander, bring it gently and lovingly back to the action and sensation of eating. Then do the same when cleaning, when writing, when working. The more you do it stronger and more focused and more rational will be your concentration, the more natural will be your actions, the more peaceful you will feel, and the more relaxed you will be, no matter what you are doing.

Great Motivational Statements !

Normally there is a tendency to think of what we need and what we have to acquire. So we tend to think of ourselves alone. We think of sharing with others only when we have sufficient for ourselves. This creates expectations from others and there is disappointment when these expectations are not fulfilled. There are lots of resources in our lives that we can share with others. The more there is the consciousness of giving there is the ability to give and share these inner resources with others. We discover new treasures and use them for the benefit of all and also for the self. Then there is constant satisfaction in our lives. There are also constant good wishes that we receive from others.

Best Positive Quotes !

Normally it is understood that to get the best role is to be a hero actor.  So we are more inclined towards a role where we can get people's praise.   If people praise us we feel good about it and if they don't we are disappointed.  We are usually dependent on people's appreciation. Yet it doesn't come by so consistently.   We can be a hero actor at all times when we have attention on every act of ours. We make sure that none of our words or actions are ordinary or waste. Since we pay constant attention to everything we do, we find that we are able to give our best.   We are then satisfied with whatever is happening since we know what we do is not as important as how well we do it.
