See Benefits In Everything !

Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way. If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more. Make today a breeze not a battle.

Be Aware Of Your Specialties And Work With Them !

To be a self-sovereign is to be in control. The one who is a self- sovereign never finds difficulty in being in control. He doesn't have to go out of control and then bring himself back in control. The moment the order is given to the self, every thought, word and action is immediately in order. To be a self-sovereign means to be aware of our specialities and work with them. When we are a self-sovereign we experience ourselves to be free. This is because nothing binds us but we are able to win over our weaknesses too. Thus we find ourselves to be in total happiness in all situations.

Create Quality Thoughts !

Creating quality thoughts brings happiness and lightness. When there is quality thinking, thoughts are not many, but each thought is special. Quality thoughts are reflected in quality words and quality actions. They reduce tiredness and carelessness as thoughts are fewer in quantity. When we have good quality thoughts, we experience sweetness, happiness and self-respect. We are able to recognise our own greatness and move forward with lightness under all circumstances.

Experience The Benefit Of Each And Every Moment !

To be free from the influence of the past is to have the ability to fly forward. There are so many things of the past that keep coming up in the mind again and again. Instead of being like birds holding on to the branches of the past; the one who looks at the clear sky gets the inspiration to move forward. To look at the clear sky means to look at the present moment and make the best use of it. The ability to free ourselves from the negative influences of the past, enables us to have a vision of equality. We will then not be judging others on what our past experiences with them are. We also find ourselves experiencing the benefit of each and every moment and experience constant progress.

Extend Your Love To Everyone !

True love brings success in relationships. The one who is loving, likes to be with the others. Such a person will never try to be away even from people who are not loving towards him, but will be able to change the one who is not so loving with his own love. So the one who is loving is always successful in relationships.

Find Beauty And Harmony Within !

When we look around to examine the state of our environment, which is what we leave behind after developing and exploiting the resources of the planet, many are quick to see pollution and waste. We are not slow in pointing out the damage and the impurities which will be our legacy for the future generations. We are not so quick to spot the impurities which we have allowed to develop and accumulate in our own personal lives. At the level of our thoughts, is every thought a pure and benevolent one, which carries the best wishes for our fellow travellers. Unlikely, as we mostly learn to criticise and complain, attack and blame. At the level of our intentions do we always mean well and want the best for others, or are our intentions sometimes coloured by selfishness or greed? At the level of outcomes do we celebrate the achievements of others as they grow to be all that they can be, or do we stand back in envy or jealousy. Our lives all begin within our own consciousness. The lakes and the landscapes of our mind and intellect are where we all live the most. Do we keep them clean and pure and unspoilt? Can beauty and harmony be found within? No! Then perhaps we need to clean up inside before we condemn others on the outside. Because what is out there is simply a reflection of what is in here! And we are all in it together. Perhaps that is why no one is to blame but we are all responsible.

Check Yourselves To Experience Progress !

The one who checks himself constantly is the one who experiences progress. He is also able to bring about a change in himself. Such a person takes each situation as a chance to learn something new and bring about some change for the better. So there is constant improvement in his life. No situation will make him have negative feelings or make him stop, but he will be able to enjoy everything that comes his way.

Determination Adds Power To Our Thoughts !

To stamp every thought with the stamp of determination is to be victorious. When there is determination in thoughts, there is naturally the ability to give the best in spite of all the obstacles. Situations will not deter such a person from achieving what he set out to. And so there is naturally constant victory for the one who is always determined. When there is determination in our thoughts, we are never afraid, whatever happens. In fact obstacles only serve to strengthen determination. We never give up what we have started. It is determination that enables us to add power to our thoughts and make them practical.

Keep Your Mind Free From Waste Thoughts !

To be free from wants is to be free from waste. The one who is free from wants is the one who is free from expectations. When there are no expectations, there is not too much thought about what is not there or what should be there. Since the mind is free from all these kind of waste thoughts, whatever is done is the best. When we are free from wants or desires, we are able to always remain content. We can then appreciate and enjoy everything that comes our way, and do not expect anything both from situations and people. So the mind is free from waste thoughts and questions.

Make The Best Use Of What You Have !

Speciality lies in experiencing one's fortune. When there is the awareness of one's fortune, there is speciality seen in every word and action, because of wanting to make the best of everything. There is also the pure desire of sharing with others, which also makes one special. When we have the recognition of our own fortune, and are aware of what we have, we find ourselves content. We have no expectations but continue to make the best use of what we already have, for our benefit and that of others. So we find ourselves being special and making our own fortune.

With Silence Listen To The Call Of God !

Silence is not a lack of communication. There is a subtle language that connects us to one another through the eyes, with a smile, or a gesture. In moving into an inner space of silence, we are attuning ourselves to the spirit of nature and letting go of the tendency to be critical. Silence provides the opportunity for me to identify the qualities in myself that have the capacity to transform me. In silence I can connect to the highest quality of my lightest, clearest thinking. In silence I can listen to the call of God, the call of nature, the call of others in need.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Powerful Soul Offers Love !

Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can afford to be humble. If we are weak, then we become selfish. If we are empty, we take, but if we are filled, we automatically give to all. That is our nature.

Understand The Deeper Meaning Behind Every Situation !

If my mind is still enough, I can see the deeper meaning behind each situation. No matter how bad a problem may seem on the surface, if I remain positive eventually I will see how everything has worked out for the best.

Live Inside Your Hope !

The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.

Let Your Words Reflect Purity And Peace !

A pure mind makes for pure words. It is said that speech may exalt someone to kingship or send him to the gallows. I should never let myself indulge in false, bitter and vicious speech. My words should reflect my true, inner nature, that of purity and peace. Words, once spoken, can never be recalled. They reverberate all around, beyond our control. Today, as I utter words, what effect will they have on those who hear them? Will they be the words that are poisonous and cause pain? Or will my tongue be like that of the nightingale, sweet and so, so very soothing and lovely to the ear?


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Mental Calmness Makes Words Calm !

Words! They are all around me! I see them. I use them. Harsh words, soothing words, biting words; words that give pain and sorrow; words that give joy and pleasure. They are vital to communication. When words are spoken there are reactions, negative or positive. Either thoughts are triggered or emotions fired or actions performed. Words colour our behaviour. And how lovely it is to hear words that are calm and free from rancour and aggression. To hear words that lift the soul and leave it with renewed vigour. Such words are the sparks of purity. It is important to remember that my speech indicates what is in my mind. As the thinking, so the words uttered. Mental calmness makes my words calm.

Be Humble ! Trust God !

Humility puts a hand out to nothing extra, but simply takes what's there. Whether that be food or clothing or understanding. Sometimes there is a lot available and sometimes only a little. It doesn't matter. Even when you understand nothing, there is no worry, for in humility there is the trust that if a person feels themselves to be a child of God, everything will come anyway at the right time.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Your Dreams Come True !

Why have we forgotten how to dream? With our innocence gone, and the entertainment industry doing all the work for us, we quickly lose our capacity to dream possible futures. Stop. Close your eyes. And dream again. Put the stars in your dreams. And then reach for them. No need to struggle. Simply nurture the dream, sustain the vision, and watch it come true. It must, it's the law.

Become Unshakeable With God’s Power !

Nothing around us is constant. The stock markets go up and down; natural resources alternate between abundance and scarcity; people move between happiness and sadness. If we fluctuate with those scenes we are unable to be constant internally. But when we turn to the One who is permanently radiating virtues, we receive power and become unshakeable. God offers all His potential to us. He is ever constant in being the light that never fades.

Experience Success By Knowing Consequences Of Your Actions !

Become very, very sweet. Remove even the slightest trace of anger. Whatever you think, whatever you say, consider carefully all the consequences beforehand. By performing actions knowing their consequences, success is definitely experienced.

Handle Every Difficult Situation With Patience !

The energies of life come to meet us at every moment. Most come from other people who either in the same room or on the flickering, technicolour screens with which we now share most of our homes. The vast majority of these energies are not positive. So how do we handle the 'the negatives', whether it's someone's attitude, their hurtful gestures or our daily dose of world violence and mayhem. There are three cardinal rules. First, do not absorb it - don't be an emotional sponge. Second do not reflect it back. Otherwise you begin a cycle of emotional exchanges which may last a long time. And third, do the one thing which marks us as intelligent human beings - transform it. Even if the scene is a disaster there is some benefit somewhere in it. Even if you are watching two peoples beliefs or opinions slug it out to the edge of violence don't take sides. Instead offer a solution then stand well back. Even if the person hates you, accept their state of being and return the light of love. In time, with patience, it will illuminate their darkness, and return to you by the bucketful! Just wait.

Meditation Is The Key To Restore The Power !

A racing mind that reacts sensitively to little things indicates thinking that has lost its spiritual strength. Meditation restores that power.

Humility Is The Most Natural Expression Of Truth !

Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. It helps in better understanding of truth. Humility is the basis for maintaining self-respect. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life.

Successful People Are Go Givers !

It’s been said that you cannot give away what you do not have. One of the most spiritual important insights or secrets in life is that you already have, and always have had, what you need to give away! If you impart the message that ‘I am not worthy’ the universe will send it straight back in many shapes, forms and circumstances. When we say ‘give me’ we are imparting this message. We are saying we think we need to get something to complete ourselves or prove our worth. Most of us are taught to live a life of gimmie gimmie gimmie – always striving, desiring, wanting, struggling. We do so only because we think that when we get what we want we will be fulfilled and esteemed by others. But it’s an illusion. We are all already complete and worthy but we cannot know it and experience it, until we give it away! Only giving allows us to know what we are and what we have within. Ask the question – how can I serve? The intention to serve will point you towards what you need to give. If the intention is real it also generates the will. The most successful people in life are not go getters, but go givers!


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In God !

Courage is to take a step forward into an area of difficulty without a solution in mind, but yet feeling that victory is ahead. It is going empty handed, but knowing that God's hand is stretched out to pull you.

Be A Master And Yet Open To Learning !

To give regard to others' ideas is to be a learner. The one who is open to the ideas of others is the one who is able to learn from everything. He is humble and has respect for all. He has the authority over what he does, he is the master and is yet open to learning. Even when his best plan and ideas are rejected or criticised, he is able to remain cool and light because of his regard for others and their ideas. Because of this he is able to constantly learn and experience progress.

Happiness Is Your Property !

No matter what adverse situations come in front of you, no matter how many obstacles come in front of you, your happiness should not disappear. An obstacle that comes will also go away. That obstacle comes and goes away but what belongs to you should not go. So, happiness is your property. Whenever an obstacle comes, just think that it has come to go away. When a guest comes to your home, it isn't that he has come as a guest and will go away having taken everything from your home. So an obstacle has come and it will go away but it should not take away your happiness. Happiness should always remain with you.

Understand Your Mind And Treat It Properly !

When you talk to yourself in your mind, which self do you address? And how? Usually people do not talk to their divinity, but to the most superficial aspects of their everyday personality. And often it’s a stream of fears, complaints and mindless repetition of old things. If we talked that way to another human being, we would have to apologise. Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavour. Thoughts from the past and worries about the future do not create good conversation. Instead learn to talk to your mind as if it were a child. Talk to it with love. If you just force a child to sit down, he won't. A good mother knows how to prompt her child into doing what she wants. Be a good mother to your mind, teach it good, positive thoughts so that when you tell it to sit quietly, it will. Love your mind. Stay happy.

Do Right Things To Experience Constant Success !

Success is achieved through accurate efforts. The one who puts in accurate efforts for the success of every task, naturally tries to do the best. Because of his own contribution, others too help him and contribute whatever they can to achieve what he sets out to do. So there is success in everything. When we do the right thing, we will be able to experience constant self-progress. We will then never have the slightest feeling of failing, but will always experience success as a right, even if the result is not what we have expected. We experience positive feelings because of having put in the right effort.

Sow Positive Thoughts !

If we plant a positive, clean seed of thoughts and concentrate on it, we give it energy, like the sun gives to a seed in the earth. And as the seed in the earth awakens, stirs and begins to grow, the thoughts on which we concentrate awaken, stir and begin to grow. So let us sow positive thoughts. Each morning before we begin the journey of the day let us sit still, in silence, and sow the seed of peace. Peace is harmony and balance. Peace is - freedom from the burden of negativity and wastefulness. Let peace find its home within us. Peace is our original strength, our eternal tranquility of being.

Bring In Lightness Through Accurate Words !

Lightness comes when words are accurate. Accurate words means there is nothing extra spoken. Whatever has to be said is said to the point. Such words being short are sweet to hear too and are those that never hurt others. They bring about the result needed accurately. When our words are to the point, there is a lot of lightness experienced within us and our physical energy is saved too. Others too experience benefit through our words and so we naturally get blessings from them, which helps us move forward with lightness.

Experience Constant Progress !

To have attention to accumulate is to experience constant progress. The one who has the attention to accumulate each and every moment makes sure that he uses well his treasures like thoughts, time etc. Then, there would never be anything waste or even ordinary. Instead each treasure would be used for the benefit of all. Having attention to accumulate makes us realise the importance of whatever we have. This makes us pay attention on even little things and we find ourselves benefiting from each moment and with each thing that happens. Thus we experience constant progress.

Virtue Is Love In Action !

"Wow...that's beautiful!" Is either a cry or a thought when faced with the mountain sunset, a spectacular view or a well formed man or woman. But where is the beauty, where is the appreciation of beauty, where is the ability to discern beauty? It is within our own consciousness. For the essence of who and what we are is beauty itself. The essence of beauty is not found in the body, a face or a mountain - they only stir the essence of beauty within our own spirit. And that beauty is not only something we taste within ourselves, but it emerges in our character as virtue, and in our life as care. For what is virtue, but love in action. The next time you say, "That's beautiful!" know that you speak of yourself, and it is you who are beautiful. Always were, always will be.

Look Beyond The Situation And See What It Has To Teach !

To transform waste into something purposeful and powerful is to remain light. To successfully transform something waste into something powerful and meaningful is to look beyond the situation and see what it has to teach. When there is the ability to do this, there is the ability to go on in spite of the most challenging obstacles. There is the deep understanding that nothing happens without a purpose. There is no time or energy wasted in wasteful company. When we understand the significance of everything that happens, we are able to transform in a second. So we are able to remain light because we are able to put in sincere effort and free ourselves from the burden of waste. We also find that there is no problem in our relationships too, as we are able to understand others and behave accordingly.

Analyze And Then Act Keeping End Result In Mind !

To have a clear aim of where the action will lead is to be successful in everything. Many a times it so happens that one acts immediately seeing a situation. But the one who is successful analyses the situation and predicts the outcome of the action that he performs and then acts keeping the end result in mind. Because of knowing the consequences of the actions before actually performing that action, he is able to continue putting in effort in spite of the challenges and difficulties. So he continues to give his best to the task. When he is able to give time to himself to think before performing any action, he is able to take the opportunity to be clear in his thinking. The consequences of the action he wishes to take are clear in his mind and so, the action taken to overcome the situation is right. Hence, he recieves easy and sure success.

Learn To Forgive Others !

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

Appreciate Every Small Thing In Life For More Benefits !

To be free is to be free even from the bondage of things. The one who is dependent on the presence of a particular thing to succeed in a task is also under the bondage of that thing. Such a person will not be able to put in effort to his full capability since he is always thinking of what is lacking. On the other hand the one who tries to find a way to do the task at hand even when there is nothing available is the one who finds new resources. He is then able to use these resources too for accomplishing the task. When we are thinking more about what is to be done rather than thinking about what is lacking, we are able to be content with what we have. We are able to appreciate every small thing that is present in our life that we could use for our benefit and that of others. We are able to work for what we want to achieve without being caught up only with the desires.

Maintain Your Inner Positivity !

The one way of finishing waste thinking is to find a solution. When there is something negative that happens the mind tends to create a lot of waste and negative thoughts. At such a time there is no clear understanding of what is to be done and so there is difficulty in being positive at such a time. But once the problem is identified and the right solution found, i.e., the right explanation is given, there is no more waste thoughts, words or actions. When we are able to find the right solution at each step, whenever even negative situations happen, we are able to remain happy and content. We are not worried about the problem at hand but we know instead that this problem has come to increase our inner strength and capability. Thus we are able to maintain our inner positivity under all circumstances.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Have Good Wishes For All !

To make the effort to take and give good wishes is to constantly experience contentment. Whatever the kinds of personality of the person, if there is this one aim of taking and giving good wishes, there is positivity in every interaction. Attention is paid to make every word and action full of positivity. Words spoken only give happiness to others and give some kind of support to the other person to be better than what he is. When we understand the importance of having good wishes for all, we are able to receive good wishes from others too. We are able to be free from the influence of the negativity of the situations and people. So we constantly experience inner happiness and contentment, even if we don't get something outwardly.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Friday, January 23, 2009

Be A Good Listener !

To have the ability to listen is to learn. When there is the ability to listen there is the ability to understand others and what they are saying. So the one who listens is able to learn from every situation and each and every person whom he comes across. So what he does and what he speaks is much more effective. When we understand that we are a student for our entire life, we are able to be open to learning. So we are able to listen whole-heartedly. Then, instead of only putting across what we have to say, we are able to pay attention to what others are saying too. We are thus able to enrich ourselves with new treasures constantly.

Become Worthy Of Everyone’s Blessings !

To receive blessings is to become worthy of them. Sometimes there is a desire to receive blessings from God or someone who is considered more powerful. But the one who has truly a thought of winning the love, regard and blessings of the other person is able to put in effort to be worthy of it. So he is constantly trying to be better and better in what he does. Thus he becomes worthy of everyone's blessings. When we are constantly making ourselves more and more worthy, we naturally win the love, trust and blessings from all those we come in contact with. We are committed to whatever we do and know that the blessings of God are with us because we are making effort. We have no fear or insecurity, but go on doing what we have to do with confidence.

Influence Others With Your Positivity !

To bring in light is to finish darkness. Usually when there is any negativity seen, there is a lot of attention paid to it. All the positivity remains hidden and only the negativity is highlighted. So the one who is caught up with a negative attitude colours all his words and actions too with this negativity and will naturally create a world of negativity for himself. When we are able to see the positivity even in both positive situations and negative situations, we are able to influence others with my positivity. Others' negativity will not influence us in a negative way, but we will be able to remain powerful in all situations. We will experience inner growth constantly.

Make Efforts to Move Towards Your Aim And Experience Constant Progress !

To make the aim and qualification equal is to bring perfection. To have an aim that is high is to naturally bring about the desire to do the best in everything. But also important is to make effort to bring about those qualifications that are needed to fulfill this aim. So the one who has the desire to make the aim and qualifications equal is the one who is able to bring beauty to every action. When we are able to make constant effort to bring in those qualities that are necessary for our aim, we are able to bring perfection. We are able to experience the satisfaction of bringing a lot of change in a short time. We experience constant progress as we continue to make effort to move on towards our aim.

Blend Your Qualities With Others !

To appreciate variety is to harmonise. When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too. To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend our own qualities with theirs. This gives us the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships, because there are no expectations and no disappointments.

Try To benefit All Persons By Bringing True Change !

True change brings benefit to all. When there is someone who is behaving in a way that is not right, the usual reaction is to have negative feelings for that person. All words and actions based on this negative attitude will naturally create negativity. Instead it is good to see what could be done to benefit the other person. Raising complaints only takes away inner peace. When we bring about a change that benefits even the person who is making the mistake, we are able to remain in peace with all types of people. We are not worried about why a person is behaving in a particular way, but we are able to see what is to be done in order to remove that particular negativity. The hatred is not for the person but for the negativity itself.

Be Committed To Bring Out Our Inner Perfection !

The one who has the aim to be perfect is the one who learns from obstacles. The higher the aim, the more the obstacles that comes one's way. Just as a perfect idol is one that has been chiseled a great deal, each obstacle comes to remove some or the other defect from within. The one, who understands this little secret, is able to use each obstacle as a beautiful learning for growth, and a chance to express the best qualities from within. When we are committed to bringing out our inner perfection, we are never deterred by the temporary situations that come our way. We move on with confidence, taking time to look within and recognize the hidden potential within us. We are able to get closer and closer to the perfection that we always seek.

Spiritual Progress Is Important !

There is benefit for you in every situation. If, that is, you know how to look for it. The idea behind steady spiritual progress is to see every circumstance and situation (particularly those that challenge you) as a tailor-made lesson in your personal plan for self- development. For example, in a situation where hurtful or angry words were exchanged, why not see it as the chance either to perceive things about your own character which need changing or to rehearse some virtue or quality that you need to put into practice more often? Actually, we should be grateful for the opportunity to evaluate ourselves. In this way you can transform anything into a constructive lesson. Never think that you've learned enough and now can stop. You should love it when people try to correct you or give you advice. It keeps you alert and gives you plenty of opportunity to put your truth into practice. It's a sign of great danger to be unable to accept criticism and instead use your understanding to criticise others.Realise deeply the significance of every moment, and your spiritual progress will be assured.

Your Experience Becomes An Inspiration To Many !

To be experienced means to be an inspiration to many. Words heard can be forgotten, but that which is experienced remains as a deep impression that makes one move forward constantly. The positive experience acts as a stimulant so that others too take benefit from this experience. The actions of such a person are always beneficial. When we have an experience from which we learn, we are able to leave a deep impression for further growth. We are constantly learning from every single thing that happens in our life and we are able to sustain it as a beautiful experience for our life. So this learning becomes a powerful support for those who wish to change.

Possess A Stronger Heart To Serve God !

It is so important to experience God's mercy and forge a strong relationship with God as our Mother. Knowing that a heart that has been hurt becomes hard, we understand God is the only One who can heal our hearts. Each one should ask him or herself : "What can I do to make my heart softer?" There is such a need of mercy. We have to make our hearts softer and stronger, because a strong heart doesn't experience pain and we know that if we experience sorrow, we cannot serve God.

Have Positive Thoughts To Create A Foundation For A Beautiful Life !

The foundation of a beautiful life is positive thoughts. The one who is constantly thinking positive is able to keep his words positive too. His actions would surely be positive also and would be those that bring benefit to the self and others. So to have positive thoughts means to make a beautiful contribution in making one's own life worthwhile. When we continue to have positive thoughts, we create a foundation for a beautiful life. We are able to enjoy the beauty of whatever situations come up in our life. We are able to strengthen this foundation further because each positive thought multiplies as time passes by. So we are able to create a fertile ground for getting the best fruit from life.

Love Everyone And Experience Joy Of Life !

Love spreads positivity. The one who is loving is not limited by circumstances and his love is not restricted only to certain people. On the other hand, it is revealed in each and every act thus colouring everything and every relationship with the beauty of that love. To be loving is to be constantly a giver. It also means to forgive others easily and help them to move forward. When we are loving constantly, I are able to experience the joy of life. We are able to exchange the gifts of pure feelings and find our life enriched with them. We are able to enjoy the beauty of relationships without having to feel the bondage due to expectations. Each moment of our life is filled with beauty and joy.

Give Regards And Bring Improvement In Others’ Lives !

To give regard to all is to win the love of all. To give regard to someone who is older and more experienced is one thing, but it is also important to have regard to someone who is younger. When there is such regard, interaction with them would surely be positive. The words spoken would be encouraging and giving them support and never putting them down even when they make mistakes. When we are able to give regard to everyone, we are able to win the love of all. We are not dependent on others' love for giving them regard, but are able to appreciate them as they are. We are able to see their specialities and encourage them to use these specialities. This naturally wins the love of others, along with bringing improvement in their own life.

Be Patient And Experience Success !

The one who is patient experiences constant success. I always expect things to happen fast. Even with a little effort on my part I expect high results. Because of my impatience I just can't wait, I jump to conclusions and react without understanding the problem. Thus I find it difficult to experience success in whatever I do. I need to understand that the fruit of the seeds I sow will come at their own time. This gives me the patience to wait without expecting results too fast. Also patience allows me to be calm even in the most negative situations. Thus I will be able to experience success whatever the immediate result of my actions might be.

Opening Our Mind For A Positive 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.

Free Yourselves From The Past And Move Towards The Future !

To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past. Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too. The present is lost in thinking about the past. So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present. All words and actions then are totally coloured by the past. Instead the one who is able to free himself from the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future. To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a powerful consciousness of the present. To be able to be free from the influence of the past is to forget the past. Because there is the understanding that it is gone. Also there is no worry about the future. When we are able to learn to live in the present we are able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.

Think Right ! Think Positive !

You can only be in one place at any moment in time. If you feel you are missing out on something then you are. But it's not the party, or being with another person that you're missing, it's your own life. As long as you are thinking of where you could be, you are marking yourself absent from where you are now. Which means you are nowhere. Many people spend their entire life in 'nowhere'. Not a wise choice!

Mind Needs Positive Ideas And Images !

We each have the three energies we need to learn to manage - spirit, mind and body. All three need a good diet - body needs pure food (vegetarian), your mind needs positive ideas and images, and the spirit that you are needs time in silence and stillness to refresh and renew. These are our resources, and each one needs topping up, otherwise we run on empty and dis - ease comes to visit.

Speak With Love Filled With Good Wishes For Others !

Words filled with good wishes bring change in others. When there are good wishes combined with the words that I speak, there is love. Whatever is spoken with love has its effect on others. Such words are free from all kind of negativity, so they naturally have a lot of power. Only such powerful words can bring about a change in others. When I speak with love and good wishes, I find that I am light, knowing that I have no selfishness in whatever I have said. The others too are able to immediately correct themselves. This also enables me to gain good wishes for having taken them a step forward.

Smile At Others And They Will Smile Back At You !

Try this experiment today. Enter the office with a straight face (not too straight). As you meet others who have a similar kind of straightness on their face, force yourself to smile. Then watch the other person return the smile - perhaps not to the same extent or for so long, or absolutely immediately - but it will return. This is the absolute and often instant proof of the 'ripple and reflect effect'. You get back whatever you put out. We know this, but we forget, and then wonder why everyone seems to give us a straight face, even a grumpy face, on a regular basis. Now learn to make the smile more real, deeper, smilier! Where does a real smile begin? From the heart. Can you smile at will from the heart? Why not? You need to find out soon, because you will live an unsmiling life if you don't find out what is stopping your heart reaching your face! No one else is responsible - there's only you in there! So don't go blaming others if you are not radiating from head and heart. What's blocking it? Take your time. Look in, listen in and see. You'll be surprised. You'll probably laugh. And say, "How silly!"

Understand Your Problems and Solve It Easily !

To consider problems to be a game is to move forward with lightness. Even when the most difficult problem comes my way, I am able to give my best when I understand the significance of whatever is happening. Because I never experience being subservient to the problem, I am always a master. When I understand that problems are just a game, I am able to play whatever part I have to, externally. But internally I will experience lightness knowing that this is the part I have to play. It would be easy to understand the significance of the part that I am playing and remain happy.

Pay Proper Attention To Everything To Give Your Best !

To pay attention to every act is to be a hero. A hero actor is one who his words or actions are ordinary or waste. He ensures perfection in everything he does. This naturally brings the best out of him. 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.

Happiness Within Brings About Creativity !

Creativity comes when there is happiness. Happiness touches the heart and enables the creativity to come from within. The one who is happy doesn't wait for the right opportunity to be creative, but uses each moment as a chance for using creativity - for bringing newness. When we are happy we are able to enjoy and make the best use of each and every moment of my life. We will want to do something new, unique and different. So we also have the satisfaction of having done our best.

Love for Perfection Leads Us To Progress !

The one desire for perfection ends all other desires. The desire for perfection brings the capacity to keep on learning from all situations. There is something new to learn and so there are no other desires. Since the mind is busy with bringing about perfection, there is no time for waste and negative. There is the ability to transform negative to positive. Love for perfection makes us experience constant progress. We have no thought about what we have to get, but continue to attain from each moment and each situation. We are then naturally free from all other desires.

The Purpose Of Your Life Is To Spread Happiness !

Have Faith For Positive Thoughts And Experience Victory !

Where there is faith there is victory. When someone has faith there are no doubts or questions about the self, others or situations. Faith also enables a person to see and understand simple things in life with a new understanding. It shows direction and courage to go on. When we have faith, we experience ourselves to be lucky and thus receive cooperation from many others. We would also be able to experience success at every step. There is then no worry and we are troubled less by aspects that keep changing around us. Our thoughts then would always be positive and we experience victory.

Be Willing To Change For Your Progress And Improvement !

To have a clean and clear heart is to learn constantly. The one with a clean and clear heart practices the truth in daily life. Such a person is able to focus attention on the self instead of looking wastefully at others or their weaknesses. It enables to bring knowledge into practice. It enables one to be free from excuses. Thus there is constant learning and constant change and progress. Where we have a clean heart we are free from feelings of laziness, fear or dependence. When we are clear within, there is a deep desire within us to change and we make ourselves available for every little thing that will enable us to bring about a change. We are willing to change constantly, progressing and improving with each and every situation.

Does Your Real Happiness Come From Inside !

There is essentially only one way in which you can bring about self- transformation - that's if you want to - but you will not think you need to if you are still taking your happiness from outside yourself, and still managing to tolerate the periods of unhappiness which result. As soon as your happiness is dependent on anything outside, you make yourself a slave to a condition, substance or perhaps a person. A slave is not free. And happiness is impossible if you are not free. Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why our happiness fluctuates. Real happiness does not go up and down. Real freedom means that your happiness comes from inside out. That will require detachment and renunciation, not least from the illusions and conditioning of society which would have you believe happiness can be acquired from outside in. Can you see it? Inside out, not outside in!

Have The Consciousness Of Being A Master And Be Free From Inner Conflict And Struggle !

To have the awareness of being a master is to use inner powers accurately. The one who is a master of the self is able to keep everything under control. He is able to understand the situation and act accordingly. He never reacts to situations, so he doesn't allow situations to influence him. On the other hand, he becomes a source of influence on everything around. When we have the consciousness of being a master, we are free from inner conflict and struggle. We are not under anyone or anything's control but are able to give an order in a second. We find that our mind, our sense organs everything is ready to obey these orders. Our life thus moves in the right direction.

Power Of Humility Keeps Us Warm !

The means for protection is to use the shield of humility. Humility means to be connected with our own sense of self-worth. This inner strength and power enables us to respond to situations and people in a positive way. We are able to understand and provide instead ofexpecting. We experience the protection from our weaknesses when we are humble. Situations do challenge our weaknesses, but the power of our humility keeps us calm and stable and we don't react even in our mind to situations.

Make The Best Out Of Every Situation !

Each act becomes service when there is an expression of one's own virtues. Each one has his own unique role to play with his own unique set of specialities. Every situation is actually a chance to express one's own specialities or virtues. The one who is busy doing this, is able to be a constantly serviceable one. He needs no special conditions for service, but is able to do service each second. When we are aware of the service that we can do and the contribution that we can make, we are able to enjoy both the positive and negative situations that come our way. We don't wait for situations to change but are able to make the best out of the present situation for others and ourselves too.

Experience The Power Of Truth And Have A Positive Impact On Other Person !

Inner power reveals truth through few words. When there is an experience of the truth that one is speaking about, there is economy in words. The authority of the experience is so powerful that it has a very positive impact on the other person. There need not be many words used but a few words would convey very powerfully and bring about the desired change too. When we have experienced the truth of what we say, we are an embodiment of what we are speaking. So our words are not just words but are more an inspiration for those around us. We bring about a change in people automatically because we become a role model. We don't have to use a lot of energy in correcting things that go wrong. Instead we are able to inspire change easily.

Self Esteem And Inner Strength Grows If Tolerance Turns Into Strength !

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Be Sure Of Remaining Free From Burdens By Having Faith In God !

I can make a hobby out of worrying. I worry about the noise and then complain when it is too quiet. I worry about having too many sunny dry spells and then complain when it rains. I may even be worried about worrying too much. It is essential to take an honest interest in what goes on around me, and of course it is always wise to analyze a situation and take the necessary precautions to avoid being influenced by anything negative. However, when all is said and done, my tense and burdened mind will not be able to function clearly enough to arrive at a suitable solution to a problem. Maybe I should just do the best that I can and beyond that leave it in the hands of God. To have faith in the self, faith in God and faith in God's plan is a sure way to remain clear and free of burdens.

Always Have A Clean And Clear Mind !

I cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people have on me. There are cases where people quarrel, fight and even commit murder because they are influenced by gossip, influenced by the words of others. To what extent do I check that I am not being influenced by gossip? Negativity in the mind is like poison. Negative thoughts are the seeds of negative actions. It might seem like a simple everyday occurrence - my friends tell me in the strictest confidence that such and such a person is like this and does so-and-so. I listen and accept without question because of the friendship. My attitude and actions now become influenced by my friends words, and I find myself acting and reacting in accordance with the information fed to me. Gossip and guessing bring sorrow, heaviness and distrust. Poison can come in many disguises, but poison is poison whether from an enemy or a friend.

Don't Miss Your Life By Trying To Live Someone Else's Life

Many of us spend most of our life trying to live someone else's life. We are great fixers, and as we watch others we can hear ourselves attempting to 'sort them out'. We hear it in our conversations with others and with ourselves. It sounds like, "They shouldn't...weren'tthey awful...did you hear about so and so...in my opinion they should". In these moments we waste time trying to write the script of others and forget to write our own. We have no right to write another's script and any attempt to do so is futile, frustrating and doomed to failure. So let be, and taste the freedom from the subtle tensions and anxieties about others by letting them write their own script. Don't miss your life by trying to live someone else's.

Secrets Of A Happy Life !

Silence, happiness, love and blessings are important aspects. Happiness leads to good health. It is only you who can give this medicine to yourself. Some bring illness to themselves through anger, greed, unfullfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love. Look in your heart, you will know where your illness comes from. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry; use time in a worthwhile way; keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

Have a Strong And Courageous Heart !

The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide.

When we have the consciousness of being a master, we are powerfully in control of situations and people. We are thus able to be beyond the influence of superficial and negative situations. We thus experience the true beauty and richness of each and every moment.

Real Honesty Brings Us Deep Inner Contentment And Joy !

Real honesty is to be free from excuses. The one who is truly honest never gives excuses - to himself or to others. He is free from words that blame others or give excuses. Honesty also enables one to bring into action only such things that will bring about progress for the self and will influence others positively. When we are free from giving excuses, we are able to learn from situations and experience constant progress. This is real honesty, which brings us deep inner contentment and joy. It also brings us blessings and good wishes from others on the basis of their trust.

Act According To Your Positive Thoughts And Words !

It is on the basis of actions that praise is received. The one who only talks and is not able to put his talk into practice does not become worthy of praise. On the other hand, the one who is able to bring his good thoughts and words into action becomes worthy of praise. Such a person's actions become inspirational for others and encourage them to follow him. When we are able to act according to our thoughts and words, we are able to take inspiration to do more. For every positive action that we do, we experience support and good wishes from others which encourage us constantly. Our account of positivity is always full and it takes us further to a cycle of positivity making it a habit. So we find that we don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be A Learner Always To Become Successful !

To have a balance between being a master and a child is to ensure success. To be in the consciousness of being a master means to have confidence in whatever has to be done and in the ideas that have to be put forth. Along with this if there is the consciousness of being a child, there is learning and improvement, because criticism is taken in the right spirit. When we are able to be open to criticism as a child, we are able to learn from it. We are able to gain further mastery without being troubled by ego. Our learning would never be blocked by what other people think or feel. Instead we are able to experience constant progress and sure success.

Enable Others To Use Their Potentials For A Positive Purpose !

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

Be Honest And Bring About A Positive Change !

To have an honest heart is to bring about quick transformation. Honesty brings the power of realization and this realization brings the ability to bring about a positive change. What is realized is brought into words and actions immediately and perceptibly. So the one who realizes is also the one who gets the support of others to bring about quick and easy transformation. He is able to use all the resources available without giving excuses or waiting for situations to change. When we are honest with ourselves first, we are able to recognize the change that we need to bring in ourselves. This brings realization, and where there is realization there is an inner experience. It is this inner experience that brings about an internal transformation, which is supported automatically by external things.

Be Optimistic And See Positivity Everywhere !

To see only problems is to become the one who only takes service. When there is the practice of seeing only problems in all situations there is the inability to find solutions and act effectively. All the resources that could be used for the benefit of the self and others remain hidden. Such a person becomes dependent on others for finding solutions and a source of pity. When we are caught up with problems and not able to see anything else, we are unable to experience progress. We find ourselves moving backward losing a lot of things we have. We would not be able to retain our self-confidence and would become dependent on others.

Be Humble And Try To Be A Giver !

To have humility is to be available for others. To focus not only on the self but on others too brings humility. Such humility allows others to come close. The one who is humble is able to give others what is required. Yet he balances with a certain quietness, so that others don't become too casual and familiar. When we are humble, we are easy and light giving the love that we have within. We are free from the sorrow of expectations. Instead we actually become a reservoir of treasures from where others can take benefit. We are constantly a giver, being available for others.

Be Understanding Be Confident !

Understanding brings change. The one who attempts to learn and understand sees things in a new light. Such understanding changes perception of things and there is the expression of a new pattern of behaviour. Negativity is easily removed providing a space for everyone's growth. New actions bring new experience and there is change and progress. We get the commitment to growth, when we are able to covert our understating into action. We are able to bring confidence in our life. Because of our new experience, we are able to be open for further learning too. Life becomes a beautiful journey of growth.

Remember You Are A Soul And Not A Body !

If you know a little of yourself, you will have realised that you are more than meets your eyes in the mirror in the morning. What you see is not what you are. You see the form not the content, the body not the soul, the matter not the mind. In quiet and profound moments, weinnately know that is true. But we forget. The world tells us and wants us to believe that we are what we see - and we take the easy way out. We believe. That's why the awakening of spirit and the flowering of our spirituality (nothing to do with religion) means we have tokeep reminding ourselves, a hundred times a day, I am a soul - not a body, I am an eternal spirit - not a perishable piece of meat. I am quality, not quantity. I am. Otherwise, freedom is not possible. And if we are not free, in the deepest space inside our own being, we cannot be truly happy.

Stop And Listen To The Silence Within You !

Behind all creation is silence. Silence is the essential condition, the vital ingredient for all creation and all that is created. It is a power in its own right. The artist starts with a blank canvas - silence. The composer places it between and behind the notes. The very ground of your being, out of which comes all your thoughts, is silence. The way to silence is through meditation. When you arrive in your own silence you will know true freedom and real power. Stop, take a minute, and listen to the silence within you today. Then be aware of what disturbs your inner silence. It could be negative thoughts, memories, sensations. And when you are aware, you will know what is draining your creative power, and you will know what needs to change...on the inside! –

Humility Enables A Person To Give Unconditionally !

To be humble is to get a share of the outcome. There is surely the contribution of each and everyone in the success of a task. The efforts of the one who puts in his best with humility are recognized. Humility enables such a person to give unconditionally, to give without expecting anything in return, even without any visible gains. Since we don't expect anything we find that people are ready to give without conditions. We are able to appreciate whatever we get. We are also able to continue with what we've started. We naturally put in continuous effort for the success of the task, whether there is recognition or not.

When enthusiasm is combined with alertness there is the ability to bring balance so that there is caution along with courage. When we are able to maintain our enthusiasm we are able to have courage in all situations. When we take up a step forward with courage we also experience the help that we get from others and also from God. We thus experience success at every step.

Patience And Accuracy Gives Us Faith That We Will Achieve Our Goals !

Patience and accuracy bring achievement of goals. As much as it is important to set up goals for ourselves it is also equally important to put in effort for the achievement of these goals. The one who works with the two qualities of patience and accuracy, are able to put in effort work with commitment, under all circumstances. They are able to recognize the success that they get in little things and work further till they reach the goal. When we are accurate in our efforts, we experience satisfaction and contentment. We also have the patience to understand the significance of our own effort and the result that we attain. So we are able to experience the sweetness of the result that we get in little ways. We also have the firm faith that we will attain whatever goal we set for ourselves.

Challenge Your Own Assumptions And Move Forward !

To have courage to work on the self is to find the beauty within. Situations come that challenge one's own strength. At such times the mind tends to become weak displaying weaknesses. Then there is no courage to look within. The one who is able to be introspective at that time is able to find a new learning. He is thus able to express the beauty that is lying within. When we understand that at each step of our life, situations come to bring out some quality from within, we'll never be afraid of situations. We'll have the courage to challenge our own assumptions and move forward based on the learning that we get and the beauty that we have been able to discover.

Live A Life With Quality And Become An Inspiration !

To be an example is to economise words. Everyone is looking for examples and role models. The one who is able to become an example for others by living his life with quality is the one who becomes an inspiration to others. Then there is no need for so many words to express what has to be done. Whatever is required to be done will be done without having to be told. When we have the aim of becoming a role model, we not only improve ourselves but also are able to give inspiration to others too. We find that the support and the cooperation come very naturally and easily. So nothing is difficult for us as we are able to pool in everyone's resources.

Be Aware Of Your Inner Strength !

To be stabilised in the state of self-respect is to give respect too. When someone is working with his own weakness, one way is just to be caught up with that weakness by looking at it. It is in fact more important to provide support and strength to the one who is weak because he has no strength of his own at that time. There is the ability to do this only when there is the ability to be aware of one's own inner strength, i.e., self-respect brings respect for others. When we have respect for ourselves, we are able to maintain a positive state of mind at all times. When we are able to help others through our own positive attitude, we find ourselves free from the problem of the conflict of relationships and the negative feelings that emerge because of it. We are able to make others powerful too and thus earn their good wishes and blessings.

Be Prepared For Challenges And Become Victorious !

To have the courage to face challenges is to overcome weaknesses. The one who has the courage to face challenges surely puts in effort to find a solution for them. He is not caught up with these challenges but understands that they are an expression of his own weakness. To wish for the challenge to finish on its own without working on it, or to make effort to move away from the situation is escapism, which doesn't lead to success. When we are prepared for all the challenges that come our way we are able to finish our own weaknesses. We have the courage to understand that the challenge is not from the situation itself but is because of our internal weakness. So we are able to be stable and strong even in the most difficult situations.
