Try To Understand Other Person's View !

When someone brings their opinions and beliefs to a conversation, armed and ready for battle, it's easy to disarm them. 

All you have to say is, "That's an interesting way to see it. Not sure I agree, but I can see what you mean." 

You can do this without anxiety because you're genuinely seeking to understand the other person's point of view. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Express your gratitude toward others !

The people we remember to thank, in person, with a thoughtful note or gesture, or a phone call, are infinitely more likely to help us again than those we take for granted or neglect to thank. It’s so obvious, yet so few people really understand how this works.

People love to be acknowledged, admired, and thanked. People love to be thanked, not out of any selfish need but simply because it feels good to be acknowledged. And when we are sincerely acknowledged, the acknowledgment acts as reinforcement that we have done the right thing. Thus, we want to do it again. 

The next time you do something really nice or helpful for someone and they thank you, take note of how it makes you feel. 

It’s true that there are many instances where you would help someone again without expecting any thanks. However, you’ll find yourself even more willing to help someone who expresses their gratitude and acknowledged your help.

By engaging in constant gratitude, you’ll be guaranteeing success, happiness and better relationships.

Search The Love Within By Knowing Yourself !!

Everyone looks outside for everything, including love. Love is all that everyone wants. Their purpose in life is love; to love someone, to be loved, to love their car, to love their dog, to love their garden etc. But all these types of love are perishable and are destined to fade away. The love we really want is within us all the time. When we feel love, where is the love coming from? It is within us, that’s because we are love. So I need to sit in silence and get to know myself again, because when I get to know my true self I will find out that I am love. I don’t need to look for it outside. I have an imperishable supply of the most sweetest love possible within me. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Find The Beauty That Is Hidden Within You !

Introversion brings empowerment of the self. Just as a tortoise withdraws from the external environment after its work is done, we too need to find time for ourselves. Amidst the activity of the day, we need to make time to look within and find the beauty that is hiddenthere. When we do this as a practice it brings a positive experience that empowers the self. We need to give ourselves a little time everyday at regular intervals. During this time, we need to look within and find our own uniqueness and we will find that we are ableto have access to our positivity. This practice will help us during a difficult time too and we will be able to use these qualities under all circumstances. So we will not be a victim to situations but will be able to give what is required at that time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Find Your Own Treasures & Share Them To Benefit !!

Use the treasures you have in a practical way and you'll find benefit. 

Check what treasures you have that you could share with others. It could be the treasure of happiness, of love or of clear thinking. Check if you are using any of the treasures for your own benefit or that of others. 

Each day begin the day with a thought to use the treasure that you have discovered for yourself. Remind yourself that the more you give the more it'll grow. Continue using your treasures in this way and bring benefit to all. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Set The Right Example For Others To Follow !!

Become a constantly awakened lamp that brings light into the darkness. 

When things don't happen the right way, check what kind of thoughts you are having. Do you think, 'things don't happen the right way anymore... or people are like this anyway...' etc. 

Tell yourself everyday, 'I am the lighted lamp which dispels the darkness around. When I show people the right way, everything will be all right too. I have to set the right example to those around me.' 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Know Your Real Value, Not From Outside, But Inside !!

If you set your sense of self worth (value) on your position, pay and material possessions, you will not have real self-esteem. All of these things come and go, sometimes at the most unexpected moments. This is why almost every single human being from corporate leaders to househusbands, from Kings to college students are not able to have constantly high self esteem. We are all taught by our society, that worth (value) is measured by rank, quantity of possessions and the amount of monetary (financial) income. Dangerous! It creates a life of sorrow and unhappiness mixed with temporary happiness. You cannot allow your self-esteem to be defined by your work, your capabilities at work, your salary level etc. True internal self-esteem comes for realizing the self as a soul and experiencing its virtues (qualities) and specialties. 

What external factors is your self-esteem based on? If real wealth is not money or possessions what is real wealth? What could you start doing tomorrow that may help you transfer your sense of self esteem from something you do or have outside yourself, to something that you are inside? 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Strong Thoughts And Change Would Seem Easier !!

Bring about true change with a firm promise to yourself to change. When you find that there is a need for you to change some aspect in yourself, check how strong your thought is. Check if your words are 'I'll try to change or is it I promise to myself I will change.' Take any aspect that you would like to change in yourself and take a firm promise to really bring about the desired change. Also remind yourself of your promise each day so that it is further strengthened. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Overcome The Weaknesses & Flow To The Destiny !!

Pay constant attention and you can win over your weaknesses. Think of any weakness that you had tried to work on. Check if you have worked on it with the same intensity and if you had kept constant attention to know the extent to which the weakness was working. Also check the loss that the weakness caused you. Pick out any weakness that you want to work on and see that you work on it constantly, till you get over it. When you see the loss that you are experiencing you'll be eager to overcome and win over your weakness. 

Like a feather, we float blissfully along on the winds of destiny. 

When we simply remain light, our landing will be painless. 

The lightness of our being allows us to catch hold of even a slight puff of wind to propel us upward on currents of warm air; so that we can follow our destiny. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be The Master Of Your Own Universe !!!

Within each one of us there is a master of the universe. Not the universe out there but the inner universe of our thoughts and feelings, attitudes and actions. Most people realise too late what awaits within and how valuable it is. For too long we allow ourselves to be distracted and bewitched by all that is happening outside. To be the master of your inner world is to be the master of your own destiny. Are you going to be the master or a slave?

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Face Your Day Powerfully !!

Your powerful stage keeps you constant in spite of the changing circumstances. In the different circumstances that you face throughout the day, check if you are able to maintain the same mood. See if you are able to maintain the same stage whatever the circumstances you are faced with. 

Each morning, take a strong thought, 'I am powerful and I perform each task with this awareness. Even when things go wrong I don't forget what I originally am.' When you practice in this way, you'll not change your mood with the changing circumstances.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Your Mind Ready & Things Will Be Easier !!

The way to make each and every task easy is to consider it to be easy. 

In all that you do throughout the day, check if there is any task that is difficult to perform. Now check if the task itself is difficult or if it is in the mind that it is difficult. Each day practice telling yourself , " this task is easy and I can do it. I will succeed, I only need to put in a little more effort than I am already doing." When you practice in this way you will find yourself doing things with ease. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Life - Game of Forgetting and Remembering !

Most of us tend to replay certain memories over and over in our minds; usually unconsciously.

Now it's up to you, to choose what memories are on your playlist that you can recall at any moment. Take control and create a specific playlist that is inspirational and motivational. 

What's on your playlist? 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Control Self So That You Don't Get Controlled !!

The more control we have over ourselves and our lives, the happier and freer we will feel. We sometimes get angry with other people. This probably happens because they have not met our expectations or we were trying to control them and they have not let us. Sometimes, the simple expectation that a person should behave as we want them to is in itself an attempt to control them. When we try to control another person, which is impossible, we are bound to fail, feel frustrated and stressed. 

We are capable of having power over ourselves; we can be more responsible for our thoughts and feelings. We have the capacity to choose how we respond to different situations and people that we come across in our lives. If we do not exercise much control over our thoughts and emotions, we easily fall into the tendency of seeing ourselves as victimized, and we blame others, making them responsible in our own minds for how we feel. When we do this, we are forgetting that we create our own thoughts. When this happens, we are handing over the control of our thoughts to those who influence, criticize, attack or slander us. If we want to recover the control over our life, we must learn to control our thoughts and feelings and not blame anyone else for them. The more self-control we have over ourselves, the less will we want to control others and our capacity to influence other people positively will be greater. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

You Can Be The Best Anywhere !!

Become like a lotus flower that spreads its beauty even while being in the mud. 

Check if you are having thoughts like, "this atmosphere is not right for me... or I need to go to a better place..." If there are any such thoughts, it means you are trying to run away which is not the right solution. Each day practice telling yourself, "like the lotus flower which remains beautiful even in muddy water, I too can be the best wherever I am." When you practice this you will not run away from things, but will be able to put in your best. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Forget Past, Get Conscious To Be Successful !

To think over and over again about a mistake you have made once is constantly to put stains on top of stains. 

Therefore, put a full stop to the past.

Success is achieved when there is no consciousness of mine. 

During the whole day, in all the tasks that you do which involves others, check if you are able to do it smoothly and harmoniously and if you are satisfied. Whenever you find yourself failing check if you are having the consciousness of 'mine' or that of 'ours'.In both your thoughts and your words, let there be the word 'our' instead of 'mine'. The more you involve others in this way, you'll find yourself getting the good wishes of others and you'll be successful.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Quality Change Helps Face Situations Easily !

Quality change is the capacity to transform 'negative' situations, or circumstances, into something beneficial for one's self and others. 'Quality transformers' are people who can turn walls of resistance into bridges of understanding and keep crossing them, who can change any obstacle into a stepping stone of success and can reverse the troubling, paralyzing dragon of doubt and insecurity into radiant self-confidence, dissolving the thought 'impossible' from the mind. 

Such people work with the undercurrents of life that determine the external reality, of human interaction. These undercurrents are their attitudes, thoughts and feelings. If these undercurrents are filled with resentment, anger and selfishness, then, despite being polite and cooperative externally with people, relationships will be subject to damage and deterioration. On the other hand, when the undercurrent is filled with trust and sincerity, then the quality of life and relationships is enhanced. The fundamental source of quality is the existence of a positive undercurrent. It is not a matter of our words, actions or role (which is the external reality), but rather the foundation, the undercurrent i.e. the thoughts and the activity of the mind. 


Meditation enables the mind to tune in to that undercurrent of thoughts, feelings, and attitudes, which is the invisible creator of our human reality. The nourishing power of silence, attained through meditation and spiritual knowledge, gives us the means to bring about quality transformation (change) in this undercurrent. Such change enhances our self-confidence and the capacity to creatively and positively relate to life as it is and face situations easily. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

We learn Lifetime Lessons from School !!

Life is a school, in which we learn and grow.

The tests in life aren't there to shake us but to makes us. 




Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class ... 

but the lessons we learn will last a lifetime. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Get Into The Habit of Listening !!

In silence lies the ability to listen: to listen to ourselves, to others and to God. 

Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Positive Attitude Helps Experience Inner Happiness !

Spiritual awareness (soul-consciousness) is cultivated through deliberate practice and only those who have understood the need for this kind of true, inner, self-respect will make the effort. Difficulties will arise to test your resolve for self-upliftment - physical illness, relationships, memories of the past, and so on. Yet with patience and introspection, you will come to see how these very tests are the means to strengthen your spiritual identity. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Confident & Fast To Choose The Perfect !!

We assume that more choice means better options. However, beware of choice overload; it can leave us confused because a world of possibilities can also be a world of missed opportunities! Any choice will close other doors that we'd rather keep open.

Instead of exhaustively scanning all options until finding the perfect one, narrow your options. And then decide on something you feel good about.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Try To Find Special In Self And Others !!

Become the one who is special by seeing only specialities. Throughout the day, among all the people you meet check if you are seeing any negative quality in them. Also check if you are seeing specialities in others or not. 

Each day tell yourself, "I am special and I only see the specialities in myself and others." Then practice seeing only the good qualities in others and you will become good too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Beautiful Positive Message !

Summer - it's a time of abundance, to enjoy the summer sun, flowers and fruits ... but, summer, like everything else, doesn't last forever.

If summer was forever, all the energy and potential would reach its limits and inertia would set in. And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns; everything moves on. Everything has it's own time; it's own season.

Remember, the end of something good, means the start of something also good. All you have to do is be connected and in tune with the natural flow of natures energies.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Perform Daily To Inspire Others In Life !!

Consider yourself on the world stage and your every act will become special. 

Check all the actions that you perform throughout the day. Are your actions such that others will be inspired by you or are they just wasteful and ordinary? Make the practice firm, " I am on this world stage, each and every action that I perform is being watched by many and will inspire them." when you have this practice you will have attention on your actions and they will become special. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be The Leader And Make That Change !

The one who does not wait for others to change to bring a change in the self is the one who really brings benefit to others. Think of all the things you would like to change but are not able to. Now ask yourself why you are not able to bring about a change - is it because you are waiting for others to change before you change yourself. 

Take any one thing that you would like to change and tell yourself, " I will change and seeing me the others will change too. I am the leader who inspires others to change, I will not wait for others." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The Positive Feel of "I CAN" takes You A Long Way Ahead...

Courage is a strength that comes from the core of your being; the strength that allows you to commit to life. 

It's the willingness to go beyond your current limits and say I CAN. 

To be successful is to be able to fly over the clouds of situations. 

When there is any obstacle that comes up in your way check if you are afraid of it or if you are able to see it only as an obstacle that you must overcome. Each day take a thought in your mind, "All these obstacles that I am faced with are like clouds that come in the journey of my life. I have to go on flying and not stop in the clouds of situations." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positive Thoughts And See The Change In Situation !!

Use the power of your thought and you will find negative situations changing into positive. 

When things are going wrong, check what kind of thoughts you are having - are your thoughts positive in spite of the negative situation or are they negative. The more you have negative thoughts, the situation will only worsen. When things are going wrong, take a thought that it is not the thing itself that is going wrong but it is your perception that makes it look negative. Also remind yourself that you have the power to transform negative into positive. When your thought changes the situation changes too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Beautiful Positive Saying That Teaches A Lot !!

With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity. 

With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny. 

With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. 

The saying, "What we give is what we receive". 

The lesson : Just to give. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
