Always Check Your Thoughts...!!!

If your thoughts are waste thoughts, then your other treasures will be automatically wasted. If your thoughts are of waste, what would your actions be? What would your words be? Of waste! The very foundation of actions and words is thought, and so check your thoughts. Do not let them loose.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Do Things At Right Time !

Knowing the value of time, we can create extra moments by not wasting our precious time. We need not throw away our time in trivial, wasteful thoughts that distract and divert us or squander our time in careless words that cause sorrow or harmful actions that - as time turns around - return to cause us regret and demand recompense. We can make a great saving by bringing all the worries and waste of time gone by to a complete finish, by putting a full stop. We need not make ourselves any more promises of action tomorrow, But instead - do it now. For if not now, then never.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Begin Trust Building At Home !

In any relationship trust is the first thing to leave and the last to return. And if you recognize that the most important relationship is with yourself, then perhaps it's time to start some trust building close to home. Make and keep a promise or a commitment to yourself, however small - in fact, start very small! Make one and keep one today, and then notice the surge of inner power as a result. See how much more you like yourself as a result. Trust is being built.

~Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Awareness Of Time !

To keep a constant awareness of the present moment is to befriend time, to be ever-ready for anything the next moment may bring. Time does not wait for us, so we need to be alert and keep pace with it. In silence and stillness we can step out of time, observe with detachment what has passed, what is happening and what is to come In that moment of stillness when time is still, we can connect the consciousness of the soul with the Supreme Soul. We experience the deep satisfaction and bliss of timelessness, a moment of connection beyond time. A taste of eternity. And with this awareness, we return and step back into time and into the story to play our own part.

Blessings Are A Boon !

'Blessings are not valued until they are gone.' So much is overlooked and so much of our actions are automatic that it is as if nothing special ever happens. Nothing stays the same. The situations we find ourselves in today can change in the twinkling of an eye and the freedom and amenities we took for granted can disappear. We need to stop and count on blessings and see how fortunate we really are.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Precious Time !

To become masters of time we may learn lessons of how to appreciate the preciousness of time. As with any valuable commodity we can practice how to save and spend it wisely. We need to look straight into the mirror of our hearts, to see clearly the purity of our thoughts and actions. Time to ask ourselves, if time were to end now - is my account with all settled? Have I developed peace with myself? We need to spend all time with God, to turn our minds constantly to the remembrance of God, so that we spend each moment in a worth while way.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

A Smiling Heart !

Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendship and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your eyes and smile. Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Value Of Time !

When we learn the value of our own time, we give natural regard to the time of others. Promptness reveals royal manners, and punctuality is the practice of princes. With masterly understanding of time, we can lovingly show tolerance to young people who have only had a little time, and patience to older ones whose bodies have served them a long time. We can learn such patience and tolerance from the example of God, our own father.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Make The Best Use Of Present !

The gift of time that can always bring us happiness is the present moment. In remembrance of God and full consciousness of the present we have power over time. We have determination to say " I will do it now". There is no telling what time is going to bring. No knowing what will happen in the next moment. No guarantee for life. So to live each moment with all accounts settled, all duties done, everything completed is to truly live in this moment now. The ever-present company of God reminds us to make the best use of the present.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

God's Love Helps Us To Change For Good!

Even if we are liberated from time past, we can create imaginary chains in the future. We cannot enjoy contentment in the present when chasing the next desirable thing. We say "I'll be happy when...", "if only.. ". Fear and false forward-looking steals from our present happiness. With faith and determined effort we can make changes in the present that shape our future. The future is a house we build today, but cannot live in till tomorrow. God's love gives us the courage to see ourselves clearly and change ourselves now.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Leave The Past And Go Ahead!

Time only moves forward. It leaves the past behind. Yet we forget to move forward, out of the past. Disappointments, might-have-beens, old sorrows stack up in our consciousness. We store files of old memories, returning sometimes to open them. To be liberated is to switch our minds from these duty old files in a second. God's compassion helps us deal with the past. We can take a tip from time - leave the past where it belongs .. in the past.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Precious Gift : Time

If we think of time as a gift, we know it is precious, we know it is powerful - but perhaps we think we have been given only a limited fragment. Each life limited to a number of days, priceless, but finite. A greatest gift is to know that we have time without end, that we can learn to master time itself. In silence and stillness we can step outside the bounds of time and know its three facets: past, present and future. Not only our own story but also the history of the world. We come to understand the great turning truth of time.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Talk To Yourself....

Your internal dialogue establishes your way of seeing the world. When you make demands on and reproach yourself, you create a world of stress and pain. To be peaceful, create a loving dialogue with yourself, enabling your inner values to awaken and be expressed regardless of your external world.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Father Of All Souls!

We should ask ourselves, do we react to situations in a positive or negative manner? The way we react is very much dependent upon our mental attitude and this in turn is directed by our thoughts. Linking our thoughts to the problems that surround us brings unlimited tension and worry. By linking them to the subtle and powerful vibrations of the unlimited source of peace, tranquility and knowledge that is, God the Supreme, we automatically have a constant source of good uplifting vibrations which can settle our troubled minds. He is the Father of all souls, the one who is there to give help at any time. In a time where our thoughts wander with little or no direction, where we find it difficult to talk or relate to people, it is worth remembering that God, who understands us, is only a thought away.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu,

Leave Your Ego Behind!

One of the most difficult things to do is letting go of your ego. And yet, it is very simple, easy and effortless and one of the most powerful things you can do. And yet, when you do it you give up the need and the desire for power. When you can bring yourself to get beyond your own ego, you raise yourself to a whole new level of awareness, experience and effectiveness. When you can think, live and act unconstrained by the limitations of your ego, the possibilities are truly endless. Your worries, your fears, your doubts, anxieties, disappointments and hesitation to move forward are all sustained by your ego. Imagine the power of leaving all those limitations behind. Spend a few minutes, a few hours, or an entire day unconcerned about what others will think, or what's in it for you, or whether something offends you or not. Feel the freedom, delight in the ability to accomplish, and explore possibilities that you may never before have even known about.
Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

'Bliss' And 'Bless'

There is only the difference of the letter "i" between the words 'bliss' and 'bless'. When we stay in bliss then we naturally draw the blessings of others. We don't need to ask for the blessings, they just come. However, if our nature is even slightly sensitive we will either clash with others or get caught up in them. Clashing and getting caught makes the soul distressed and tired. Become free of these and you will feel that your hands are no longer tied and so you can give. Those who are free can become 'phool' (flowers). When we are not free we either prick others or we get pricked by others.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Standing Watch !!!

We have one Angel standing watch above us as we sleep...

Another gathers up the hopes and dreams we wish to keep

One Angel is the tiny voice that whispers in our ears...

With words of love and comfort to conquer grief and fears

We have so many Angels with one friendship keeper too...

Another just to help us mend the thoughtless things we do

We have a Guardian of Love who protects our Destiny...

And helps us with our soul mate with whom we are meant to be

We have a host of Angels that keep us company...

In order that we may become the best that we can be.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu

Changing Life!

When you are aware and accept that everything around you is constantly changing, and that you have no control over 99.99% of it, you are able to embrace change like a close friend! Change is a like a river, constantly flowing and moving things around. The river of life is constantly bringing you ideas, people, situations - each one is an opportunity to be enriched or to enrich others, to grow and to learn. Change is the play of the universe as it entertains us in the biggest light-and-sound show of all time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stay Away From Desires!

Desires cause peace to disappear. You think that acquiring things will make you feel secure, but the reality is that the more you have, the more fear there is of losing it, and the further you are from peace. Desires are the cause of all conflicts. When you want something and cannot get it, you become frustrated. Learning to be free from desires is learning how to stay peaceful.
