Courage Brings Success

Courage brings success. Even after repeated trials and failures, when one does not lose courage, there is the ability to go on trying till success is achieved. Courage comes with the understanding that there is surely a way out. So a lot more effort is put in to find the right way. Success, which had been eluding for a long time will be finally attained. When we have courage, we have hope. We will not give up the task mid way, but will put in continued effort. Because of this there is no difficulty experienced even whilst putting in extra effort but we do everything with enthusiasm and happiness. So nothing seems difficult and we easily move towards success.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The Power of Realization Brings Permanent Transformation

The power of realization brings permanent transformation. To have the power of realization means to have the power to understand what is right and to have the commitment to the right thing. So, if a mistake is committed, when there is the realization, there is easy and permanent transformation. So the same mistake is never committed again. When we have the power of realization, we will never experience difficulty in bringing about a change, because we have actually understood the importance of bringing about change.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Failure Is a Process of Strengthening that Leads to Success

To fail means there is the need to work a little harder. To fail doesn't means to be a failure but it only means that it will take a little longer before success can be reached. It gives an indication that more effort has to be put in. So when things are done in a different way, it becomes possible to move towards success. Failure in a particular task is a process of strengthening that leads to success. During the time of failure, when we understand the significance behind the incident, we are able to be free from negative feelings of fear or disheartenment. Then we are able to learn the right lesson from it and move ahead. Even in our worst failures, we experience constant progress and we move on towards success.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Work with Joy to Enjoy the Richness of Life

To work with joy is to be free from tiredness. When there is the happiness and joy of doing something, one can go on putting in effort even in the most difficult circumstances. For having done everything with happiness, there will be the inner quality revealed in each and every task. The happiness within will spread around to others too. As we never leave our inner joy, and are constantly in touch with our inner qualities, we are able to enjoy everything that life brings. Nothing will then be experienced as work, but we feel everything to be entertainment. We will be able to enjoy the richness of life even when there is something actually difficult.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Greatness Lies in Being Humble

Greatness lies in being humble. A seed grows only when it is mingled with the mud. In the same way, the one who is great is naturally humble. He understands the truth that only when there is humility will there be success. Humility gives the power to bow down without reducing one's own self-respect. When we are humble we are able to be experience our inner greatness, which naturally keeps us set on the seat of our self-respect. So when the situation demands, we have no problem bowing down. We are able to allow the situations to work on us and we are able to strengthen ourselves from within under all circumstances.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The Power to Merge Brings Success in Relationships

The power to merge brings success in relationships. The specialty of the ocean is to merge. The most beautiful pearl is made of the dirt that is thrown into the ocean. So also the power to merge actually allows one to look at the positivity in spite of the obvious negativity that is expressed by the other person. So the relationship with the other person is only with their positivity. When we are able to merge the negativity of others, and look at the positive aspect in them instead, we can automatically experience being light and positive within. Also we find others relating to us with their positivity. We are able to be successful in our relationships with others, however difficult the personality traits of the other person may be.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Experience the Power of Unity

To understand and accept people's ideas is to increase the power of unity. When one suggests something and the other accepts, it gives power to the gathering. So instead of expecting others to accept suggestions, it is better to understand and provide with what the other person needs. The more something is given with generosity there is happiness for the one who is receiving and for the one who is giving. And there is power because of being together in the task. If we take something with force we find that others give it to us only temporarily. Instead if we give with happiness, we find that others are able to share with us with happiness. So what we give, we find, remains with us permanently. There is an experience of fullness and the happiness of having attained even while giving. And with this we are able to experience the power of unity, and the joy of doing things together.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Love Is A Powerful Force

Love is a powerful force. It can take us to great heights and leave us feeling light and airy. Yet it has been the most abused and misused force. Many degraded things pass for love. True love is based on understanding, mutual trust and respect and not simply on transient emotions. Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, God and each other. Love dwells in the soul. We must allow this love to flow out and around us. Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision and experiences, for indeed 'love is the key.'

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Love Keeps Us Growing Positively

Don't be afraid of your sins. Because God will never stop loving you. He knows that love keeps a child growing. So just keep thinking of what He wants you to do, and do it.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Cleanliness Brings Positivity Within

Cleanliness means no waste within. To be totally clean means there is not a trace of negativity or waste within. Even in the most complicated situations there is clarity within. The mind is clear and clean so there is clarity in words and actions also. Every decision is taken with a clear mind and so whatever is done is naturally accurate. When there is cleanliness in the heart, we are able to win the love of those around me and also of God. We find that we become a mirror for the others and they are able to see their own perfection through us. We find that we are able to save a lot of time as we are able to see things for what they are and because there is clarity in our thoughts.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Forgiveness Brings Healing and Positive Change

The method to bring about change is forgiveness. Forgiveness means to have good wishes, cooperation, love, respect and faith. This becomes like a blessing for the one who needs to bring about change. Words spoken will then be powerful and easy. This will naturally bring faith in the other person in order to bring about natural transformation. When we give only correction we forget to forgive. But when we first forgive we are able to remain cool and easy. We are also able to forget the intensity of the mistake. So when we forgive and forget in this way, our forgiveness itself becomes a correction for the other person.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

True Love Gives Ability to Forgive and Forget

True love means the ability to forgive and forget. When there is love there is the ability to look at only specialties. Even if the other person makes a mistake, there is only the conscious awareness of his specialties. So it becomes easy to forgive the mistake committed by him. When there is real forgiveness the mistake is totally forgotten and the future interactions with that person are free from the negative attitude. When we are able to forgive the mistakes made by others, we are able to forget them easily also. So our mind is free from the burden of waste of all the past mistakes. We are able to be light even when we are faced with the negativity of the other person. We are never caught up with attitudes about people and will become successful in our relationship with others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Meaning of A True Leader

To be a leader means to invoke challenges. Each challenge actually brings forth some hidden strength, some latent power. The one who is able to understand this, is able to face and in fact invoke challenges. Such a person with constant and unshaken faith moves on towards victory. Such a person becomes an inspiration for many and thus is a true leader. When we know the art of facing and learning from challenges, we are able to remain fearless in spite of the several challenges. Much more than that, we are able to actually have the courage to invoke challenges understanding the fact that challenges makes us stronger.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Truth Never Needs to be Proved

Truth never needs to be proved. When the truth of what is said is challenged, there is naturally a protest. Words spoken after that are usually defensive and argumentative. This leads only to waste talk and arguments because no one is willing to listen at that time. But truth is that which is revealed on it own and never needs to be proved. When we recognize the fact that we are right and are aware of this, we never feel the need to prove it. We never argue our point but have the self-respect of what we are. So even if we are challenged we remain unaffected. We understand that a real diamond shines on even when it is lying with stones or covered with dust.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Have a Big Heart

To have a big heart means never to be disheartened. To have a big heart means to have good wishes constantly for others and to enable others to move forward through this. Even if someone with negative characteristics comes in front, there are no feelings of negativity as there is the power to accept and recognize their specialties. We are able to be beyond confusion and doubt when we have a big heart. We are never caught up with the problems but are very easily able to find a way out. We are able to very effectively and smoothly come out of any negative situation.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Faith Gives the Ability to Go On in Life

To have faith that things will work out for the best means to ensure that they will. To have faith that things will work out for the best means never to give up. Even if situations don't support and people don't give encouragement faith gives the ability to go on. Because of this there is recognition of even the not so visible resources and they are used for successfully completing the task. When we have faith, we are never discouraged by temporary failure, but are able to have the courage to move on towards success. We have constantly the satisfaction of having given our best. Because of our commitment and sincere effort, we find that situations and people too cooperate with us, bringing us success in whatever we undertake.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The Power of Good Wishes

The power of good wishes enables disheartened ones to experience happiness. The usual reaction to the negativity in another person is to behave negatively too, i.e., to express negative qualities. This continues although this does not bring about the desired change in the other person. On the other hand, when there is the ability to see the positive qualities in the other person and have good wishes based on that it becomes a source of power to bring about a change to positivity. When we have the ability to give positive feelings and good wishes to the other person even when they are negative, they are able to get the power to change the negative to positive. We find that the change that we seek for in others is much more quicker and easier than if there is the emphasis just on negativity.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Love and Cooperation Bring Success in All Tasks

Love and cooperation bring success in all tasks. Love is reflected in the love that there is for the person and also for the task. When there is love for the person, there is the ability to give cooperation without any expectations or demands. And when there is love for the task there is the commitment for completing the task, whatever the obstacles that come up in the process of doing things. When we are able to have love, we are able to receive hundred percent help and commitment from others too and we are able to have the satisfaction of moving forward constantly. There is nothing difficult for us and we do everything with great ease. Not only is the task easy but also there is a spread of happiness and joy experienced by all who are involved in the task.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Learn The Real Meaning of Master

To be a master means to use the right power at the right time. To be a master means to be aware of the internal qualities that one has. Also it is the ability to use these qualities as and when required. That means to be able to give an order and put into use, in a second, whatever internal power or virtue that is required at that time. If there is an awareness of the positive quality, and not the ability to put it into use within a second, it would not be called total mastery. When we are a master, we are able to have an experience of having control over whatever is happening around us. Even if something comes up suddenly, we still are able to feel the control over the situation and make the best out of it. We neither feel helpless nor blame others for what is happening.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Real Contentment Gives Happiness to All

Real contentment spreads happiness to others too. When one feels contentment but the others are not able to perceive that contentment, it means that it is not true contentment. Real contentment is visible in such a way that others too are able to feel the happiness that is created. When there is real contentment, all thoughts, words and actions are filled with quality. Others are able to take benefit from one’s state. Even in the most hopeless state, we find that we become a source of support for those around. We are able to give hope to the hopeless and help them get back to a state of happiness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Be Optimistic to Spread Rays of Happiness

To spread the rays of happiness is to be optimistic. The one who is optimistic is able to spread the rays of happiness all around. Never does he stop or move back with life's challenges. On the other hand, he has the courage and determination to move on making the best out of the situation. Others too are encouraged seeing his faith. When he is optimistic he understands that there is something good that is hidden in everything that happens. He is able to enjoy seeing only this positive aspect, filling himself with positivity and the happiness spreads around and touches the lives of those around.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Easy Nature Makes Tasks Easy

Easy nature makes tasks easy. The ones with an easy nature constantly think of solutions instead of problems. So such individuals are free from the burden of problems and are constantly contributing to make things easy for themselves and others too. The right environment to bring out the best result is naturally created by them. When we have an easy nature, we are able to put a full stop in a second with great ease. We are not caught with the waste questions and exclamations. We are able to enjoy everything that comes our way and move forward constantly with lightness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Thoughts are Seeds of Our Destiny

When you sow a thought you reap an action, when you sow an action you reap a habit, when you sow a habit you reap a character and when you sow a character you reap a destiny. Thoughts are like seeds. You cannot sow the seed of one plant and get another: thistles will never produce daffodils! When your thoughts are positive, powerful and constructive, your life will reflect this.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Faith Draws Out Best in Every Situation

Faith is the key to the best use of one's fortune. For the one who has faith, in the self and in things, there is only positivity. Under all circumstances, there are only opportunities and treasures seen. Each moment is an inner urge to discover these hidden treasures and make the best use of them. So the one who has faith draws out the best from each and every situation. When we are able to move forward with faith, we are encouraged to give our best under all circumstances and are able to enjoy the best fruit of the effort that we put in. Faith gives us the courage to go on even during difficult times and so we have the satisfaction of bringing about constant change and progress in our life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Perform Positive Actions and Earn Good Wishes

It is on the basis of actions that praise is received. The one who only talks but 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 me 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

Power of Our Positive Feelings

With benevolent feelings and good wishes we can free people from worrying. When we come across people who are faced with a difficult situation because of which they are worrying, we too usually tend to think about it. Instead of helping the other person to be free from worrying, we too begin to worry. This doesn't help either of us in anyway but only adds to the negativity of the situation. We need to develop such benevolent feelings for the ones who are going through the situation that the power of our positive feelings will spread to them too. It will act like the light of the lamp, which helps to dispel the darkness around. Only when there is positivity in the mind will they be able to think of some solution.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Plant Seeds of Peace to Lead a Peaceful Life

Ignorance makes us believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theater of life has profound significance. What we see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

The One Who Is Humble Is Always Successful

The one who is humble is always successful. The one who is humble is free from desires and is in a state of appreciation and contentment of what he has. So he does not want to prove to himself that he is successful. He only enjoys the process of learning and progressing. He is never deterred by criticism and takes it in the right spirit. Humility enables him to appreciate the effort put in by those around him. He would naturally be able to see the specialities in others and respect them for it. There would be no feeling of envy. He would naturally be able to have the quality of contributing for the progress of others too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Be Happy Dont Worry and You Will Be Surprised

Leave worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky and the colour of flowers, of the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. The greatest wealth is to appreciate what we have and what we are.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Experience Makes Us Perfect

To be experienced means not to be deceived by anything. There are so many times when a situation takes us by surprise and we make the same mistake that we had made before. It is only when the situation has passed that we realise that we have actually repeated that mistake. What then remains is only repentance as the time has passed where we could have done something. Whenever there is a mistake, we need to take care that we learn from whatever has happened. When we continue to move forward in this way there will be no repentance for the mistakes made but there will be learning that'll make us experienced. And when we are experienced we'll never be deceived by situations which make us commit mistakes.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn How to Remain Content Under All Circumstances

The one who is aware of the attainments is the one who is content. Sometimes, there is a tendency to compare ourselves with others and find ourselves lacking in some way. This creates unhappiness in us and we are not able to remain content. Comparing ourselves with others or having expectations makes us miss out on perceiving the attainments we have in our life. And we are not able to experience contentment. Instead of looking at what we don't have, which is usually the practice, we need to make effort to see what we have attained or what we are attaining. Once we make this practice, we will be able to look at the positive aspect in our life, which will enable us to remain content under all circumstances, i.e., in both positive and negative situations.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Internal Stability Is Very Important !

Negative situations can be transformed into positive with the power of stability. When faced with a negative situation, usually the mind gets affected. Lot of questions arise in the mind that don't allow us to be stable at that time. Because of the thoughts in our mind, though it is in our hands to work at transforming the situation, we don't make use of this opportunity but only end up adding to the negativity. In a negative situation, it is necessary for us to maintain our own inner stability. We need to free ourselves from wasteful thoughts. Then, the negativity in the situation will finish, first in our mind and then in the situation itself. Our own internal stability will help in finishing the influence of the external situation.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Wait For The Right Opportunity !

Where there is honesty there is flexibility. When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying we generally tend to argue and prove our point in order to prove ourselves right. When we argue in this way, it only shows our own stubbornness and doesn't help in anyway to reveal the truth. Where silence doesn't help in revealing the truth, argument never will because the other person is not in a position to listen to us at that moment. We need to realise the fact that when the other person is not able to recognise the truth, our arguing will not help in any way. When the truth is with us we need not argue but we only need to wait for the right opportunity to talk what we have to say. When we try to talk when the other person is not in a position to listen to us, it only reveals our lack of flexibility.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Humble Server !

The one who has the spirit of service is free from wasteful thinking. It is usually thought of as an additional burden to think of serving others. The usual thought is to think of first serving oneself and when one is content to think of serving others. But this thought makes one miss out on the fact that both service to oneself and service to others are complementary to each other, one helping the other in a positive way. When we take on the responsibility of bringing benefit to others, i.e., when we consider ourselves as a humble server we will be free from wasteful and negative thinking. We will not waste our thoughts and energy on something that is not worthwhile, something that is not going to bring benefit to anyone. So each thought, word and action of ours becomes elevated.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Move With Love And Purpose towards Your Destination !

Single minded but flexible, like a river forging its eternal route, I am dedicated to completions and natural conclusions. There is nothing that cannot be achieved. There is nothing that remains permanent. I keep on moving with love and purpose towards my destination. My resolve is firm, my aims are clear. I am determined.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Remain Happy In Difficult Situations Also !

True service is to spread the light of happiness to all around. In any negative situation, the usual reaction is to feel disheartened and unhappy. With this reaction to the situation, the people around too are affected as the unhappiness spreads around. Focusing this way only on the problem creates such negativity that it doesn't inspire anyone to work for a solution. Instead of spreading unhappiness in a difficult situation by seeing the negative aspect, we need to think of how to bring a solution. Even if we can't, we need to look at some positive aspect in it that will enable us to maintain our own positivity. When we keep ourselves happy in this way, we will be able to spread this happiness to others too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Peace Is Freedom !

Each morning before I begin the journey of my day let me sit still, in silence, and sow the seed of peace. Peace is harmony and balance. Peace is freedom - freedom from the burden of negativity and wastefulness. Let peace find its home within me. Peace is my original strength, my eternal tranquility of being. Let my first thought of the day simply be peaceful.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Maintain Your Inner Self-Respect Even In Difficult Situations !

Real positivity is being positive even in negative situations. It seems very difficult, if not impossible, to maintain positive thoughts when we are faced with a negative situation. Even with a strong intention to be positive, challenges come in the form of relationships, physical illness, difficult circumstances etc and we find ourselves weakening. A long time of practice of maintaining inner self-respect is what will help us in a difficult situation. To maintain self-respect means to understand and appreciate our own uniqueness. With this practice of self-respect we will not be dependent on the external situation but will find the strength within.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have A Vision Of Perfection !

The one with the vision of perfection constantly experiences progress. Many times, as we are moving ahead in the path of our life, we find ourselves stagnating. There seems to be no progress at all in any aspect of our life. We try to bring about a few changes that work for sometime. But after sometime we find ourselves dissatisfied and we stop trying. We need to have the vision of perfection constantly in front of our eyes. We need to ask ourselves what is it that we expect out of ourselves, to be a source of joy to others, to keep learning.... it could be anything that inspires us to constantly move ahead while appreciating all that life brings.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Determination Leads You To Success !

Determination enables elevated thoughts to become practical. When we have an aim in our life and are working for it, we sometimes are not able to bring into practice all that we plan to do. We then tend to become disheartened and give up after trying for some time. Thus we lose out on the benefit that our thoughts can bring in our life. In order to put into practice the good thoughts that we get i.e., in order to make our thoughts practical we need to stamp it with determination. Our words should never be 'I'll try', but must always be 'I will do it'. Where there is determination there is victory.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Hope Brings New Ways Of Success !

To have hope means to have a chance for success. When we encounter failures, we sometimes get so disheartened that we lose hope in both the situations and in ourselves. Instead of seeing the obstacle that comes our way as a turn, we see it as an end and give up trying. So we lose out on our chance for success. Even when things don't seem to be working out right, we must never leave hope. To leave hope means to rule out our chance for success. When we have hope we will keep thinking of new ways for success. We will then surely get cooperation from somewhere or the other and we will be successful.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Perfection Is Attained With Positivity !

Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts. When we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think about it so much that it is totally blown out of proportion and it seems bigger than it actually is. This leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let us work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain the way we are, not being able to bring about progress. What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is to change our focus. Instead of thinking about the weakness, we only need to think, "I am not perfect yet, but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving." With such positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus Your Energy On Getting A Solution !

Faith enables one to bring solutions to problems. When problems come, we tend to overreact to it or exaggerate it to such an extent that it becomes a trap for us. Instead of working on the problem we fall a prey to it making all our thoughts negative. Once we are caught up in negativity we will neither look for, nor find solutions. Each thought of ours is important when working on a problem. Instead of making our thoughts negative, we need to remind ourselves that what we are going through is a test which we must pass with honour. When we have this thought, all our energy will be focussed on working to bring a solution.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Talk To Your Mind With Love !

Self-respect increases when one learns to converse positively to the self. The usual way to talk to the self is to talk to the most superficial aspects of the personality, those which are related to fears (including those of the future), complaints and mindless repetition of things in the past. Such talk to the self only lowers the self-respect to a great extent. Not only when our mind is going towards waste and negative, but at all times, it is important that we talk to the mind with love, as we would talk to a child. Like a mother would lovingly explain to the child, we need to teach our mind with love. This creates true happiness within and our self-respect increases.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Good Qualities In Your Mind !

When you build a house every brick counts. When you build a character every thought counts. You are what you think. Love, purity, peace, wisdom - the more you think of these qualities, the more you will become them.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Recognize Each One ‘s Virtues !

True respect comes not from what one does but how well it is done. Respect is usually associated with what one does, i.e., it is usually associated with position, status etc which is associated with the job. When there is such an attitude, there is a tendency to look at the people around in a superficial way, missing out on recognising their true worth. We need to recognise the fact that true respect comes from doing well whatever is being done. We need to recognise each one's virtues and qualities revealed through the behaviour. This enables us to have true respect for others. We then no longer look at what one is doing as important, but will be able to appreciate each and every one's contribution.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have More Positive Thoughts In Your Mind !

To think less is to remain happy. Usually there is a tendency to think more than normal when there is a challenging situation. Although it is considered to be good to think more, we usually miss out on the fact that thinking more means having lots of waste thoughts along with those that are necessary. When we find ourselves thinking a lot we need to ask ourselves if all these thoughts are really necessary. We need to recognize waste thoughts and replace them with something more positive. With this practice we'll find ourselves thinking less and at the same time having powerful thoughts which will keep us cheerful under all circumstances.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Encourage Others To Move Forward !

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.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positivity In Your Life !

To be free from guilt means to ensure quick and easy progress. Blaming oneself for all that happens and taking the mind to extreme levels of guilt takes one to a sense of unworthiness. Such a person loses the strength and is unable to look for solutions in difficult situations. Hence there is nothing new that can be thought of, and the situation doesn't get any better. When we continue to blame ourselves, we believe that we deserve neither happiness nor love and that the sorrow that we are experiencing is a deserved punishment. So we lose all enthusiasm to improve the situation and have no awareness of the treasures that we have. So we experience no progress in our life.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Always Keep A Positive Attitude !

The ones who see only specialties become special. To see specialties and ignore negativity is to take a step ahead by imbibing those specialties. This creates a habit of seeing, taking in and expressing only positive qualities. So whatever the person may be, whatever his qualities may be, there is only a connection of positivity with him. When we are able to relate to everyone in this way with only specialties, we become special. We also find others responding positively to us and using only their specialties while in contact with us. There are also a lot of good wishes that we receive from others because of our positive attitude.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Tolerance ! It Helps !

To have tolerance means to be stable. When one is faced with defamation or insult, tolerance gives the power to be stable and cool. And so there is the ability to smile even when there is negativity that comes. Tolerance means to see beyond the insults because of being stable in the stage of self-respect. When faced with criticism, if we are able to be stable in our stage of self-respect, we are able to learn from every negative remark that comes our way. We will never become defensive, but will be able to see clearly what new learning we could take.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Help Others And Win Their Trust !

The one who is able to discriminate well is able to bring about real benefit. Everyone naturally works for the benefit of the self and others. But the one who discriminates well is able to understand the other person's need and give accordingly. So whatever is done naturally brings benefit for others and also for the self. When we are able to bring benefit for the right person at the right time with the right thing, we are able to win the trust of the other person. We expect nothing in return, but have the satisfaction of helping at the
right time.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience The Joy Of Being A Giver !

The one who is aware of one's fortune enables others to experience their fortune too. To be aware of one's own fortune means to appreciate and use all that one has. Also when there is the awareness of one's own fortune, there is a natural tendency to help people become aware of what they have and how they can benefit from it. So the one who is fortunate becomes a giver. When we are able to recognize our own fortune, we are able to have the joy of being a giver constantly. Whatever the circumstances, we are able to give knowing that we are fortunate. But never is there dependency created on us, because our help is to make them aware of their fortune too and make them independent.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Out The Specialties In You !

To be careless means to misuse specialties. To be careless means that there is no awareness of one's specialties and so there is the inability to use them for the benefit of the self and for the good of others. On the other hand there is also a tendency to become overconfident because of these specialties and not to work on self - transformation. The one who is careless is not able to recognize the need for self change and so is not able to bring about transformation. When we are able to be free from carelessness, we are able to understand the importance of the specialties that we have, and are able to use a particular specialty. So we find that the more we are able to use a particular specialty, the more we are able to bring out and use the latent specialties that are within ourselves.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Develop The Habit Of Thinking Positive !

The habit of thinking positive finishes negative. Just as it has become a habit of thinking negative, a positive habit when created will naturally bring about a change. A little practice and attention to form a habit of thinking positive will reveal its result of creating an influence of positivity. The situations will not change on their own, but the habit that has been formed will bring about a change in the response and will change the situation too. Usually it becomes very difficult or sometimes impossible for us to think positive in difficult situations. At that time, although we want to, the response that emerges from within is based on the habit that is formed previously. So when we make the habit of constantly and consciously thinking positive, we then become free from the struggle of having to change our mind to positive in difficult situations.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience The Beauty Of Life With Sweetness In Mind !

The sweetness of the mind brings sweetness in words and interactions. There is an understanding of the need for being sweet in words and interactions. But this sweetness can be expressed only when there is sweetness in the mind. Sweetness of the mind means there is not even a trace of negativity. Such a mind is further open to all that is nice and beautiful and expresses its own freshness and beauty in interactions. When we are able to keep my mind sweet, i.e., free from any kind of bitterness or ill-feelings, we are able to experience the beauty of life. There is no feeling of sorrow or negativity but the mind is nurtured to further positivity with everything that comes its way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Flexible And Mould Yourself Positively !

To be free from weakness means to have the power to mould. When there is a weakness, it becomes difficult to mould according to the needs of the situation. Weakness creates hardness and rigidity not allowing the situations to create internal beauty. So the one who is constantly working with one's own weakness finds it difficult to stop the negativity from being expressed immediately. The weakness is revealed inspite of making effort not to and there is unpleasantness created. To have the ability to mould means to become real gold. We become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which is ready to take beautiful shapes when it comes under the influence of the heat of the situation. So we have no hard feelings for having to adjust, but we are able to enjoy the beauty we create and the joy we spread.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Source Of Light For Others !

To spread the light of happiness is to become a spiritual lighthouse. When we are in situations where there is negativity around or there seems to be no source of happiness, we too naturally tend to feel low and negative. We are totally under the influence of the situation and we can't seem to overcome the feeling at that time. Nothing actually inspires us to make effort to come out of such a feeling. We need to remind ourselves that we are a lighthouse, a source of light to all those around us. This thought will give us the inspiration to remain stable and strong even when we are amidst chaos or difficult situations. We will be able to spread our light across and show everyone the right direction by becoming an inspiration to those around us.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

See The Positiveness In Every Situation !

In everything, goodness is there. Our goal is to find it. In every person, the best is there, our job is to recognise it. In every situation, the positive is there, our opportunity is to see it. In every problem, the solution is there, our responsibility is to provide it. In every setback, the success is there, our adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, the reason is there, our challenge is to understand it. By seeing the goodness, we'll be very enthusiastic and our lives will be all the richer.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

God Is Your Best Companion !

When we are in the elevated company of the One God, no bad company will influence us. Sometimes when we are working for our self- development we sometimes wish for support or understanding from others which we don't always get. We actually look for a role model, whom we could follow or who could be an inspiration for us. When we don't find anyone like that we tend to get disheartened and continue to justify ourselves for not bringing any change in ourselves. The solution lies in becoming a role model and a source of support for others instead of expecting others to do so. For this, we need to pay extra attention to the kind of company we keep. Under all circumstances, if we keep God as our companion we will not be influenced by any other company, however strong they might be. We will then be able to bring about change in ourselves.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Take The Right Decision !

A wise sea captain caught in a tropical storm knows that if he holds his vessel on the periphery it will get hurled from one side to the other. If he can reach the eye of the storm, he will enter a place of stillness. The storm will then subside and the ship can continue its journey. Similarly, when everything around me is changing in a very intense way, the best place for me to seek shelter and refuge is not on the outside, but deep within the self, where I can get in touch with my own inner being, find strength and stability, then come out and do whatever it is I need to.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Celebrate With a Positive Attitude !

To celebrate means to finish all trace of the old. We find that whenever there is an occasion, we are full of zeal and enthusiasm for that day. However this doesn't continue for long and we find ourselves getting caught with our old nature. We then give the excuse to ourselves saying, 'this is how I am, and this is my nature' etc. Once we start working with our old nature we cannot be enthusiastic anymore. Each new festival is an occasion for us to finish something of the old. We only need to take a determined thought to remove something of our old nature. We no longer need to give excuses, but make the firm promise to ourselves to transform. Our zeal and enthusiasm will then never lessen and we will continue to celebrate with constant enthusiasm.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring About A Positive Transformation !

The one who has the power of realisation is the one who can bring transformation. When something goes wrong we immediately begin to look for excuses why that mistake happened. This finishes our power of realisation and we will not be able to recognise our own mistake. Then we will not be able to work at improving ourselves and we will not be able to bring any transformation. Instead of looking for excuses for what happened, we need to take the opportunity to check within ourselves and see our own mistake. When we recognise our mistake, however small it may be, we will be able to work on it. Only when we are able to realize our own mistake, will we be able to bring about transformation in ourselves.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spread The Power Of Our Positive Feelings To Others !

With benevolent feelings and good wishes we can free people from worrying. When we come across someone who is faced with a difficult situation because of which he is worrying, we too usually tend to think about it. Instead of helping the other person to be free from worrying, we too begin to worry. This doesn't help either of us in anyway but only adds to the negativity of the situation. We need to develop such benevolent feelings for the ones who are going through the situation that the power of our positive feelings will spread to them too. It will act like the light of the lamp, which helps to dispel the darkness around. Only when there is positivity in the mind will they be able to think of some solution.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Speak At The Right Time !

Where there is honesty there is flexibility. When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying we generally tend to argue and prove our point in order to prove ourselves right. When we argue in this way, it only shows our own stubbornness and doesn't help in anyway to reveal the truth. Where silence doesn't help in revealing the truth, argument never will because the other person is not in a position to listen to us at that moment. We need to realise the fact that when the other person is not able to recognise the truth, our arguing will not help in any way. When the truth is with us we need not argue but we only need to wait for the right opportunity to tell what we have to say. When we try to tell when the other person is not in a position to listen to us, it only reveals our lack of flexibility.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Source Of Support For Others !

Recognising our own uniqueness makes us a support for others. We can never be a source of support for others unless we are strong and stable. But usually our own wellbeing is dependent on others and their opinion of ours. As a result we make others our support, which is not always reliable. This also makes us miss out on our self - support. Instead of looking out for support from others, we need to turn within and see what speciality within us can get us out of the situation. It is essential to recognize and make use of our speciality. Then we will never expect support from others but will become a source of support for those around us.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Correct Yourselves At The Right Time !

When there is real transformation we never repeat our mistakes. When any mistake of ours keeps repeating again and again, it becomes part of our nature, a habit and then we make it an excuse and defend ourselves saying, 'this is just the way I am, this is my nature, etc.' When we justify our mistake we will not be able to work on it to remove it and we find that it is only further strengthened. Once we have recognised the fact that our nature has become such that the mistake keeps repeating again and again, we need to make an attempt to change it without giving any excuse to ourselves or to others. Unless our attitude towards the mistake changes, i.e. we stop justifying it, we will not be able to do away with it.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Free From Expectations !

Success in relationships comes when we are free from expectations. In our daily interactions if we find that we are not able to get along with someone, our usual reaction is to avoid that person altogether in order to avoid the conflict. But that is not really a solution. Unless we recognise why we are not able to get along with that person we will face the same problem with someone else. When we are not able to get along with someone we need to recognise the fact that the problem is not with the person but with our own expectations. When our expectations are not being met we have a conflict which is reflected in our relationship with that person. So we need to work at recognizing and removing these expectations.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Positive feelings For Others !

Feelings change intentions, thus changing actions too. When there are negative feelings like jealousy or hatred towards another person, those feelings naturally create misunderstanding. Even if the other person has a good feeling while doing something, a negative intention is attributed and this naturally changes one's own behaviour or response making it negative too. When there is the slightest bit of negative feeling within us for someone, it naturally creates further negativity from others too. We find everything we come across to be negative, like the one who wears colored glasses sees everything to be of that particular color.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

An Intelligent And Positive Message !

It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have The Right Faith In Others !

Faith in others enables them to be powerful. Faith in others is usually mistaken for blind faith - observing helplessly only hoping for the best in our heart. We then consciously don't do anything but just hope for the best. In such a situation we subtly experience fear or tension. But this is not true faith nor is the outcome usually right. Faith in others means to remain alert to what is going on and then to fill the other person with the strength of our faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. Our faith will fill them with confidence and they will be able to give their best to the task.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Your Intellect Refined !

In order to make your intellect refined, talk to yourself and talk to God with your heart. Don't just make complaints and demands. Allow your intellect to become peaceful. Forget anything that has to do with the body or - bodily - relations. As He is nonphysical, make yourself nonphysical with your thoughts; then have a conversation with Him. He will listen to the things of your heart and give you a response.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus On The Potential And Unique Specialties Of Others !

True help is to appreciate the efforts of each one to improve themselves. Not realising that all are making effort to bring improvement in themselves at their own level, we tend to point out people's mistakes only to prove them wrong. It is by proving them wrong that we want to prove ourselves right. This doesn't help others in anyway to bring a change in them. We need to focus more on the potential and unique specialities of those around us, rather than on their faults. This will help us to appreciate the effort that each one is making to bring improvement in himself. Then we find that even the corrections we give are effective, as they are more for the benefit of the other person. This is the real help we can give to others.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Enjoy Whatever Comes Your Way !

When I finish this project, then I will be happy! When this situation is resolved, I will be fine. When I reach my goal, I will finally relax, be peaceful! To surf in the Ocean is to understand where the waves are coming from and which ones to take. Maybe what life is asking of you is different from the responses you were trained to give to it. To be successful in the Ocean needs effort and positioning. Catch the right wave. The objective of the surfer is to enjoy the ride, to have fun. In the same way, do not postpone your happiness; enjoy whatever comes your way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Success Is Achieved By Team Work !

Success comes to the one who is able to involve others and work as a team. Because of having a feeling that the more the people involved, the more difficult the task becomes, we tend to avoid involving others in any task that we take up. We tend to do everything on our own, making us lose out on useful resources that we can get as others' contribution. As much as possible we need to involve others in such a way that they make a valuable contribution to the task that we have undertaken. We are doubly benefited with this. Firstly, we will gain from the others' resources. We also find that the good wishes of others are there for the task for which they have contributed and we find ourselves succeeding.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Handle Responsibility In A Positive Way !

Responsibility enables us to give our best in all we do. When we are responsible to do something, we tend to feel burdened. This could be because responsibility sometimes takes on the form of interference. That is we take on those tasks too that are not connected with us. To such an extent that we even begin to do those things that others are capable of doing by themselves. If we ever find ourselves feeling burdened, we need to ask ourselves if we are taking on any responsibility which is not ours. When we recognise the fact that responsibility doesn't mean taking on everything on our head, we will be able to lighten our own burden. At all times we need to have this attention that we need to take responsibility but if the situation is not our business or someone else is in charge, we don't have to get caught in it.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience The Specialty Of Doing A Task !

An elevated consciousness brings specialty to the task being done. As is the consciousness, so is the feeling behind the task, and therefore its quality. Just to perform action and finish the tasks at hand does not bring specialty and accuracy as much as it should. When the consciousness is special, that means before a task is performed there is a thought given both to the task and to the self, there is specialty revealed in the task. When we are able to start each task with a special consciousness, like "I am victorious", or "I am powerful" or "this task is for the benefit of all", we are able to experience the specialty of doing the task. We are also able to increase our state of self-respect, whatever the task or however simple it maybe.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep a Positive Attitude Towards Others !

True help is to help people discover their own specialities. When others' negativities or weaknesses are perceived, it is essential to look at their positivity or specialities too. This will naturally bring love and positivity in the relationship and there will be an encouragement of that positivity. So even if that person has no recognition or has not been using his speciality, an encouragement of it by others will naturally enable him to begin to use it. Making others aware of their specialities and subtly encouraging them to use these specialities is a great help that we can do for others. When we are able to give this unique help and cooperation, we not only find benefit for others, but we are also able to get the good wishes of others. Even others naturally become positive with our positive attitude.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Guide Your Mind In The Right Direction !

To be healthy internally is to make the best use of all treasures. A healthy intellect acts like a mother, always showing the right path. When internally one is strong, there is the natural ability to treat the mind with love and guide it towards the right direction. Such a healthy state of mind naturally enables the recognition and the proper utilisation of everything available. Once we have learnt the art of guiding our mind in the right direction with love, we then never experience the difficulty of having to bring back the mind to the right thinking. Because the mind is totally under control in a very easy and natural way and we don't have to control it or force it to think or not to think in a particular way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Relaxed And Easy Even In Difficult Situations !

The one who has self-respect is the one who is free from aggression. When the situation seems out of control, there is naturally a feeling of helplessness. This helplessness further creates tension, which gets expressed in the form of aggression. Such a kind of aggression cannot be suppressed or controlled. To be in the state of one's own self- respect is to be confident and the one who is confident will be assertive but can never be aggressive. We are able to keep our mind cool, when we are in our state of self-respect. So we never react to situations negatively but we are able to understand the situation and respond in the right way. We take decisions in a calm and composed state of mind, and are relaxed and easy even in the most difficult situations.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Fill Your Words With Power Of Positivity !

To be free from waste words is to ensure easy success. The one who wastes time and energy in gossip or slander has no time for success. All attention is focused on picking out the mistakes and the negativity of others and so there is no attention on learning new things or picking out the positive. So there is negativity visible in one's own attitude, words and actions. When we are able to free ourselves from waste and negative words, we are able to use the resource of our words in a positive and useful way. Our words would be filled with the power of positivity and faith, faith in the self and faith in others.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

See Positivity In Each Person And Remain Happy !

To remain happy is to truly live life. Life has meaning when there is the happiness of living. Everything that happens brings something new. The more the mind is tuned to see and appreciate this truth; there is the happiness that lasts - whatever the situations may be. The one who is constantly happy is able to creatively use all the resources in the right way and also makes others happy. When we are able to maintain our internal state of happiness under all circumstances, we are able to enjoy the beauty of life. We are only able to see the positive in each and everything and also only the specialities and goodness in everyone. We are never let down by situations, people or their reactions, but enjoy everything.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In Your Work !

Faith brings victory. When things seem to be going wrong again and again we begin to get upset and curse our fate. Mentally we seem to accept our defeat and when we start something new, we are not always able to be confident as there is an underlying fear of failing. When there is fear, it will be difficult for us to succeed as we are not able to do things to the best of our ability. We need to be alert under all circumstances. This will help us to recognise negativity as soon as it comes up. Instead of making our mind negative when things go wrong, we need to work at increasing our faith that things will work out fine. Then we will also be able to give our best to the task with confidence. And we will be successful in whatever we take up.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn The Art Of Forgiving !

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.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Good Wishes And Pure Feelings For Others !

Good wishes and pure feelings bring easy success while working at a task. If there are good feelings for both the task and the one who is carrying out the task, then the result attained by those feelings is automatically special. The feeling of giving love and cooperation, no matter what anyone is like gives good wishes and pure feelings. There is a deep impact of such good feelings which transforms others too. When we are able to maintain our own good feelings for others, we are able to enjoy the fruit of our pure thoughts. We are not disturbed by temporary clashes that we have because of the different nature of the persons we are working with, but enjoy working together. So there are also good feelings from the other person too and there is easy success experienced.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Positive Source Of Support !

Mercy means to give support to the ones who are helpless. A negative situation or a person who is in need and is helpless usually stimulates feelings of unhappiness or sorrow. At such a time it becomes very difficult to maintain a positive state of mind. But real mercy is that which gives support through the positive state of one's mind. The more there is the feeling of happiness; others too can be brought to that state of happiness and joy. When we are able to remain happy even in negative situations, we are able to maintain our internal state of calm. And this is the best frame of mind where we are able to see things objectively and in a detached way and we are able to make the right decisions. So we find ourselves becoming a source of support.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Move Forward In Life With Zeal And Enthusiasm !

The one with zeal and enthusiasm is constantly tireless. Zeal and enthusiasm brings the willingness to move forward under all circumstances. Never are there are any excuses given, whatever the difficult situations or challenges that one might be faced with. Instead whatever has to be done is done without any tiredness. Also the best is made out of all situations. This tirelessness gives us the courage to move on and experience constant success. We become aware of our own resources and make the best use of them. So we also experience internal progress, constantly.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Fill Positive Thoughts With Power Of Determination !

Determination fills a thought with power. Any thought which is added with determination automatically brings confidence. This confidence naturally fills the thought with power. When there is the thought, 'I can do it', there is surely the power to do it. Then there are no distractions, nor is there any comparison with others. All resources are put to the maximum use and the task is accomplished. When we are able to fill our positive thoughts with the power of determination, we are able to bring all our special thoughts and plans into action immediately. We are able to feel the satisfaction of bringing equality into our thoughts, words and actions. There is no feeling of helplessness, but there is only confidence and courage in doing what we are supposed to do.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Inspire Courage In Others And Become Victorious !

True victory lies in inspiring courage in others too. The one who is victorious enables others to be victorious too. Such a person will never make the other person seem any less. He will never allow the other person to feel defeated because the one who is victorious is a bestower. He has the ability to give courage to others and fill others with the hope to achieve something better. This will never let him lose hope in himself or in others and will also win the trust and good wishes of others. So there is a constant experience of being victorious.




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Newness In Your Work For Constant Progress !

To bring newness into actions means to contribute for the betterment of the self and others. There is a constant desire to do something better that makes a contribution to oneself and to others too. So the one who thinks of newness can bring about such a contribution. There will not be something different that can be done. But the same thing can be done in such a way that there is benefit visible. When we are able to bring newness in the way we do things, we are able to experience constant progress. There will also be the satisfaction of bringing about newness and creativity even in ordinary actions. Along with this there will also be the satisfaction of making a contribution in every action of ours.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Humble ! It Works !

True royalty lies in humility. The one who is humble never reacts but responds in the right way to situations or challenges. Thus there is royalty visible in all words, actions and behaviour. So there is newness visible in the way of responding to situations. When we are humble we are able to be beyond the influence of praise and defamation. This is because we are stable in the state of our self - respect. Also because of this we are able to bring about newness and we are able to be creative in responding to situations too.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Resources In The Best Possible Way To Be Accurate !

Accuracy brings perfection and speciality in all that is done. To be accurate means to take up full responsibility for every task and do it to the best of one's ability. That means all resources that one has are used in the best possible way for the best result of the task. This naturally brings perfection in everything that is done. When we are accurate in everything we do, we are able to be free from carelessness and negligence. We find ourselves bringing speciality and uniqueness in what we do. For having done things with accuracy, we also find ourselves becoming trust-worthy and we are also able to be satisfied with ourselves.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Remain Honest With The Self !

True honesty to the self brings the power to bring about change. To be honest is not just to be truthful. It is more to be honest with the self. The one who is honest with the self constantly has the aim of bringing about a change for the better. Each situation is used as a chance for the betterment of the self. So there is always the aim not to repeat the mistakes that are committed once. When we are honest with ourselves we are able to feel the constant progress and experience the happiness of moving forward under all circumstances. We have the power to understand the situation, not just from our point of view, but more in a detached way. So we are able to understand and accept whatever the situation holds for us and learn from it humbly.




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have True Faith In Others !

Faith in others enables them to be powerful. Faith in others is usually mistaken for blind faith – observing helplessly, only hoping for the best in our heart. We, then, don't consciously do anything but just hope for the best. In such a situation we subtly experience fear or tension. But this is not true faith nor is the outcome usually right. Faith in others means to remain alert to what is going on and then to fill the other person with the strength of our faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. Our faith will fill them with confidence and they will be able to give their best to the task.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring A Perfect Balance Of Being A Master And A Child !

Success comes to the one who has a balance of being a master and a child. When we make a contribution in the form of an advice or a suggestion, we usually do it with confidence. That means we are sure of ourselves and are a master. But the problem usually comes when people don't accept our suggestion. We are, then, not able to accept their decision or criticism. We need to have the perfect balance of being a master and a child. It means that along with being a master while giving the suggestions we need the consciousness of a child while it is being heard. That means we are totally ready to accept the comments/criticism that we might be faced with.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Follow The Path Of Truth !

The one who has recognised the power of truth finds no need to prove it. When someone challenges the truth of what we are saying, our usual reaction is to try to prove our point. It sometimes goes beyond the point where we are trying to clarify but takes on the form of stubbornness. When we are sure of the truth that is within us, we don't have to worry about proving it. Instead we only need to be concerned with being it and living it. Then we'll move forward with the faith that truth will be revealed at the right moment and at the right place.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use A Positive Approach To Solve Problems !

Honesty gives us the persistence to solve our problems. If our reaction to problems is to give up or to go away, it is deceiving ourselves. We will not be able to get rid of the situation by making a physical change because we will find ourselves faced with the same difficulty with someone else or in some other situation. Instead of trying to change the situation, we need to recognize and transform the weakness that is in us that is causing us trouble in the situation. Once we use this art we find ourselves enjoying each situation that we are faced with.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

True Effort Helps To Achieve Your Goal !

True effort brings real success. Usually we seem to put in good effort to achieve our goal. But sometimes we also get caught in blaming others and considering them the cause of our distress and lack of success. This is carelessness which only makes us feel disheartened. Even during the midst of total chaos or difficult situations, we need to remain responsible for every thought, word and action of ours. To act from such an awareness is proof that we are making right efforts and this ensures our success.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Courageous And Bring About A Change !

The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change. When there is a challenge which brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself, but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly. When we are able to face the challenge of working on our own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation we are able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness but we will be able to have full control on the situation. So there is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Beautiful Instrument Of God !

To have the awareness of being God's instrument is to bring about a positive change. When there is the awareness of being an instrument of God, there would be the desire to do the best and be the best. So each and every thing I do would be for the improvement for the self. Due to this there would be divinity and speciality seen in every thing that is done. This would also bring the awareness of all the resources and they would also be used in a worthwhile way. When we are aware of our role and what we contribute through our specialities, we recognise the fact that we are a beautiful instrument of God. This awareness naturally helps us be in our state of self-respect under all circumstances. We find ourselves giving our best and making ourselves more and more beautiful within. We are able to bring about a positive change with great ease.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
