Make The Best Use Of What You Have !

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

Become A Well Wisher !

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

Greatness Lies In Simplicity !



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

A Peaceful Mind Allows To Deal With All Situations !

Always Be Ready To Accept Advice Or Suggestions !

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

Humility Earns Respect From Others !

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

By Perfection You Bring About Self Progress !

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

Experience Positivity From Within !

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

Communicate Silently To Achieve Best Results !

The language of silence is more powerful than the sound of words. When something is expressed in silence, it is with the power of thoughts. Such thoughts spread positive vibrations and reach out to the others, in such a way that even the words can't. Also when such kind of positive actions are added to the positive thoughts, the desired effect of that is seen. Then the words are not needed to express good intentions and good wishes. When we are able to express ourselves through the language of silence, we are able to be free from expectations for others to listen to what we are saying. We will only be silently communicating whatever we have to through our good wishes and inspiring others through our positive actions. So we are able to remain content and light, even when we have not yet seen the result of our communication.

Be Committed Towards Truth !

Commitment for truth brings constant happiness. For the one who is constantly with the truth, there will be no fluctuations in the happiness - experienced by the self and expressed to the others. So there is benefit for both the self and others through this. Only when there is no truth, the support of falsehood is taken to prove and defend oneself. So the happiness is not retained constantly. When we are committed towards living by the truth, we will not be influenced by the different situations that we are faced with, but will be able to experience constant happiness. We will never be influenced negatively by negative situations and allow ourselves to lose our happiness and we find our happiness rising constantly.

Have Mercy For Others !

Mercy means to give courage. The one who is merciful is able to give courage to the ones who are weak, because of the ability to look at the positive qualities in them. The weak ones are made weaker with negative and discouraging talk, but are encouraged to discover and use the strengths that are hidden within. So real mercy will give the courage to the other person to change too. When we have mercy on others, we will never lose hope on anyone, but will continue to have good wishes for everyone. Whatever the kind of person, even with the most negative situation, I will find our stock of good wishes to always be full. So we are able to be free from the expectation from the others to bring about a change immediately.

Have A Stronger 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.

Detachment Helps Us To Be Free Of Dependency !

The one who is detached enjoys all facilities and yet is not dependent. For the ones who are detached, the facilities available are a medium for attaining something. They make the best use of each and everything available, for their benefit and the benefit of others. Yet they don't stop because of lack of facilities because they are able to find a way even if there is nothing available. When we are detached, our internal stage is beyond fluctuation. We are able to enjoy each and every thing that comes our way and be light constantly. Also it enables us to be free of dependency. So we are able to make use of all facilities, and yet be free from negative feelings when we are deprived of them.

Humility Makes You Powerful !

The one with humility is the one who can be creative. Creativity comes to the extent that the intellect is humble. Such an intellect is able to create something new. Because humility is a form of love, it brings the enthusiasm for creativity and the ability to bring newness in everything that is done. Humility gives us an experience of being a master, of being powerful. This power comes from the experience of being a constant learner, because we have no ego of what we already have. This mastery makes us creative, making us bring newness in every thing we do.

What Is Real Freedom ?

Freedom is a state of mind. Understanding the self is the key to freedom. The more one understands the self, the easier it is to be liberated from the chains of waste and negativity. Freedom is to be uninfluenced and unaffected, to be at peace with the self. Real freedom is to experience the true essence of one’s being.

Perfection Is Attained By Doing & Practicing Regularly !

If one waited to do something so well that nobody could find fault with it, one would probably do nothing. So whilst it is good to aspire to perfection, it should be perfection attained through doing and practicing regularly, no matter what the circumstances are.

Life Is Nurtured By Different Types Of Attitude !

When you extend pure love to everyone with selfless motivation that is an attitude of kindness. When you send good wishes and pure feelings to those who are in deep sorrow, that is an attitude of mercy. When you see the virtues rather than the weaknesses in people that is an attitude of compassion. When you bless and uplift someone even as they defame you, that is an attitude of forgiveness. When you tolerate a situation and take responsibility as well as give cooperation even when not appreciated, that is an attitude of humility and self- respect. Every second, every moment and every breath of your life is nurtured by attitude.

Always Have Pure & Positive Feelings !

To sow the seeds of pure feelings constantly is to experience positive fruit. When my feelings are constantly positive and pure, there is no expectation of the fruit to emerge immediately. Even if others are not able to respond to the positivity or if situations are not according to my expectations, there is still the feeling of giving. So there is this positivity expressed through the vibrations spread around and in every word and action. The more I am able to have pure feelings for those around me, the more is the positivity that emerges from within. Because of having discovered the positivity within, I am able to give unconditionally. So I experience the immediate fruit of what I have given and also accumulate for the future, and continue to enjoy multifold fruit of what I give.

Do All Tasks With Love And Experience Lightness !

Victory is guaranteed to the ones who are constantly loving. The ones who are loving are able to involve others in everything they do with their love. So whatever the task maybe, they find it to be very easy and are able to accomplish the biggest task with ease. Also each task done by them is with love and so everything is done with lightness and so victory is guaranteed. When we are loving and do everything with love, we constantly experience lightness, based on the blessings from others. We are carefree as there is no heaviness of the task to be performed. Love transforms labour into entertainment. Our internal lightness enables us to do the biggest task with great ease, involving everyone with love.

Have Regards For Others !

Let there be a positive record of always talking with regard. When I have regard for others, there are good wishes expressed through my words. Such words are totally free from the slightest bit of negativity and bring a very positive result. When words are positive, they are few but essenceful. So they have a lot of impact on others. When I have regard for others, I will be able to keep myself free from negative and waste words. So I'll naturally find every word of mine being used in a positive and powerful way. So I find only accumulation and no waste through my words. My energy is saved and others too would have only good wishes for me.

Always See Good Qualities In Others !

When I become excessively critical towards others, it means I am going in the wrong direction. We are usually very good at spotting mistakes, but we should develop the quality of also spotting goodness. If I can see what is good in others or in situations and go beyond the curtain of negativity, I feel good about myself. If I constantly think "he is wrong", I instead create a barrier which blocks me from reaching my own goodness. A very ancient law says: "just as I treat others, I shall be treated by others."

Have Powerful And Positive Thoughts For Others !

Thoughts are like a magic carpet, on which the soul rides across eternity. Rest for the spirit (which is what we are) is when we allow only the current of the purest thoughts to flow through our mind - thoughts which carry good wishes and blessings for ourselves and others. This is not so much going with the flow, as being in the flow, and refreshed by the flow. For when we have powerful, positive thoughts for and about others, who experiences them first?

The Treasure Of Experience !

The biggest treasure of all is the treasure of experience. The one who has the treasure of experience is able to bring benefit to others. He is clear in thinking and accurate in judgment. So he is naturally able to give directions or corrections based on his own experiences and is also successful in it. Also there is equality in what he talks and does. To be an embodiment of experience means to learn from everything that happens. So when we are able to become an embodiment of experience, we are able to feel mastery over every situation that comes our way. The power of our experience enables us to move lightly through all situations.

Mould Yourselves To Make Your Thoughts Easy And Light !

To transform the self means to receive blessings. The one who brings about transformation in the self, learning from all situations, attains victory constantly. He will naturally be able to take the learning from all situations and move on inspite of negative situations. He is also successful in his relationship with others, as he knows to mould himself. When we are able to bring about transformation in ourselves according to time, without just expecting others to change, we are able to get the love and good wishes of all. Because of the ability to mould ourselves, our thoughts too would be easy and light.

Be Stable Even In The Most Difficult Situations !

The power of stability enables to cross over all obstacles. The one who is stable is not influenced by one's own old habits and tendencies to react, but is able to think and act properly under all circumstances. The power of stability brings forth the best decisions in the most difficult times, brings solutions and helps in lessening the impact of the obstacle itself. When we are stable on the seat of a master, we are able to be free from the influence of our old habits, those that are of weakness. Instead we are able to transform old habits into new ones, making them into those of power. Learning to be stable in the most difficult situations, enables us to cross over all obstacles very easily.

See Only Virtues and Specialties In Others !

An ant is tiny beside an elephant but as soon as an ant enters the ear of an elephant it goes crazy. The elephant’s ears are so big, the elephant itself is so big and yet a tiny ant makes it go wild. In the same way, if I allow the slightest defamation of anyone go through my ears, I lose all my spirituality. I lose all my value because I start interacting with others on the basis of what I have heard about them. Pay attention to this! We have to be very, very selective in what we allow to enter our ears. Let me learn to see only virtues and specialities. Let me not concentrate on anyone’s weaknesses.

Be Humble And Forgive Others !

Why is it hard to forgive others? Usually because we believe that they are 90% to blame for the problem, that I am not as bad as they are. So I start to carry the load of other people's actions. If my ego is too hurt, I will have the sense of correction, of justice: 'I know I am right', 'That is not fair'. But if I start to forgive from the heart, sincerely, then this kind of feeling and attitude begins to dissolve. I remain humble and this forgiveness will bring me closer to others. Then I do not carry regrets or anger, I just let go and remain light.

Have A Light And Easy Approach To Life !

As we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. When I stop fretting about things that are beyond my control and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, my life can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride.

Experience Constant Progress Through Your Own Creation !

To be a creator means to use all treasures for a positive contribution. Even in the most negative situations, the one who has the thought of creation, works towards bettering the situation. Every thought, word and action is towards creation and not towards worsening the situation. Such a person is not concerned about who spoilt the situation or how it got spoilt. To the extent possible, he works towards bettering the situation. When we are working towards creation, we are able to make the best use of our resources and treasures. We then experience constant progress. We also experience contentment of having made a contribution, however little it may be. We have no questions, but only answers under all circumstances.

Honesty Means The Same Inside Out !

Honesty brings success in relationships. Honesty means being the same inside out. Honesty with oneself helps one to bring about constant improvement in the self. Honesty with others enables one to relate positively under all circumstances. There is no rudeness but there is an openness that brings about love towards the other person. When we are honest, we are able to experience progress in our life and others are benefitted too with our self-progress. We are able to maintain harmony in our relationship with others because we are open with them and we find ourselves successful in our relationships.

Keep Yourself Centered In Your Spirituality !

Your need power to remain free from the influence of others. Detachment is this power. If you can't stay detached from influences, you will not be able to keep your thoughts under control. From there it will be a downward spiral until all trace of inner well-being is lost. The first step in detachment is to understand who you are as a spiritual entity. This allows you to 'detach' yourself from your physical identity, and it's world of limited thoughts and feelings, and 'attach' instead to your spiritual personality, the being of inner peace and power. A normal day will be filled with challenges to this detachment. On the one side will be your spiritual awareness, but on the other will be the attraction towards human beings and the material world. Detachment is not a question of becoming separate from the later, but of simply remaining conscious of yourself as a spiritual being whilst being in the world and playing your part. Detachment simply means to keep yourself centered in your spirituality.

Our Problems Have The Potential To Make Us Unshakeable !

Be Ever Ready To Do All Tasks And Attain Success !

To be ever ready means to guarantee success. The ones who are ever ready are active and so when a task comes up, they quickly understand it and attain success. They do not waste time and energy thinking too much about it. They recognize the importance of the task and involve fully in it and attain success. When we are ever ready we are able to be easy. All tasks seem easy for us and effort put in for the success of the task also becomes easy. So we don't have to do a lot of effort but give our best. Thus we experience success every moment in all situations.

Create A Strong Influence On Others By Your Own Personality !

To recognise the uniqueness of my own personality is to be free from negative influence. The one who is aware of one's own uniqueness is able to create a strong influence on others of his own personality. So, such a person is not negatively influenced by anyone's personality traits. Even when there is a person with a very strong personality, he is still able to be free from negative influence. When we are able to recognise and use the specialities that are within us, we are able to remain powerful within. In all circumstances and with all people we experience this innate power. Because we are constantly in touch with our own specialities, we are able to be light and happy.

Take Care Of Your Body As Well As Your Mind !

The secret of good health is good nourishment and exercise. We need daily nourishing food and exercise to maintain a healthy body and it takes care and attention to fulfill this responsibility. Making the effort underlines our value and importance as a human being. However, the human spirit needs the same attention in the form of the thoughts we have and how the mind puts them to use. Feeding both body and mind with nourishing food gives a powerful and consistent message to respect and co-operate with one another. This is holistic good health.

Honesty Is More Than What You Think !

Honesty does not mean simply speaking your mind. Honesty means to be very clear about everything going on inside you. Where there is honesty, feelings become pure and clean. Honesty is where there are no other thoughts or feelings inside, other than those that God himself would have. Such clarity is reflected in your words; they will be filled with the power of truth, and spoken with ease and without hesitation. The genuine honesty cultivated within you is what will reach out and touch others.

Be In Constant Touch With Oneself And One’s True Nature !

Introversion brings out the positivity within. Every human being has an innate positive nature because of the inherent qualities of love, peace, happiness etc. that are within. Introversion, the practice of looking within, enables one to be in constant touch with oneself and one's true nature. It helps express these qualities in everything that is done. Because of having practiced for a long time with them, these qualities emerge very naturally at the time of need. The practice of being introverted helps us in experiencing those qualities within ourselves, which otherwise remain hidden during difficult situations. Thus it makes us have true self-respect and enables us to finish our ego. It also gives us the power to recognise and accept our mistakes, thus giving the courage to work on them successfully.

Take Good Wishes By Helping Others !

The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all. When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others. Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. When we are able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, We are able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. We then find that others naturally appreciate our selfless contribution and their good wishes help us feel light and experience progress.

Life Is A Creative Adventure ! Live It With Great Care !

Amazing as it may seem, every event, every scene has some significance.Nothing is without meaning. Life is like a book – each day a new page, each interaction a new paragraph. We read books to learn, so we may grow and become more complete and more effectiv e as we play this game called life. Can you read the book of your life, can you study the scenes of your day, in such a way that you may learn and grow? To get started, take time out to reflect, review and realize something new at least once a day - more often if you can. What was really going on there? What was I feeling at the time? Why? If you do this retrospective processing, eventually you will be able to read each scene with great clarity as it happens. That's when the reader becomes the writer, and life becomes truly a creative adventure, where we are able to see and appreciate the significance and meaning within every scene, and know exactly how to respond.

Sit Quietly And Check Your Own Mind !

Is there some time for yourself today - just for you, to sit quietly and refresh and renew. Not escaping into the TV, or thrashing around a squash court. Just time to sit quietly, focus your thoughts, check your priorities, make sure there is nothing negative pushing you down in your own mind. Take some time and be ...with yourself. If you don't, you may miss meeting the most important person in your life.

Let Off Your Ego !

Whatever is in your heart that is not clean, not true, will ultimately begin to act like a wall, obstructing the natural flow of love. People who say that there is no love in their life, are being blocked by this wall. Actually there is love, but they just cant accept it. Ego is the clearest example of this. Ego limits the flow of love by placing conditions on the love you give and receive. Ego uses love to satisfy its own needs and desires. It produces a love which is deceptive, one which brings only temporary satisfaction. Ego does not allow you to experience true love or share it. If fact, ego is capable of destroying your ability to feel love altogether.

Be Free Of Sadness Very Quickly !

Am I happy? If there is any sadness I make a strong effort to be free of it quickly, otherwise it grows like a vine in the rainy season: by midday I will be confused; by evening a whole jungle of weak, wasteful and negative attitudes will have taken deep roots in my mind. The result equals chaos. Sometimes I reach a stage where the attitude is: "So what if I feel the blues today? It is my life; no one else will be affected". Firstly, the more I allow myself to experience sorrow, the less time I have available to be happy and contented. It sounds ridiculously obvious, but am I aware of the value of happiness? It is an extremely rare commodity, and the cost goes sky high. Secondly, is it my life? Yes, I am living it, but am I not a member of a family or a co-worker with others, and am I not part of society? If so, then every movement affects and is affected by those around me.

Greatness Is Visible In The One Who Is Humble !

Greatness lies in humility. The one who is humble is always willing to learn - from others and situations. So whatever happens a humble person never reacts to the situations, but acts positively whilst being in a stage of self-respect. So there is greatness visible in the one who is humble. Humility brings an experience of being full and complete. So naturally we are available for service, and have always the thought of bringing benefit to as many as possible. Humility also gives an experience of being a master, because no situation or person binds us, but we are able to experience freedom.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
