Be Honest And Bring About A Positive Change !

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

Be Optimistic And See Positivity Everywhere !

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


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Humble And Try To Be A Giver !

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

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Understanding Be Confident !

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

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Remember You Are A Soul And Not A Body !

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

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Stop And Listen To The Silence Within You !

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


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

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

Challenge Your Own Assumptions And Move Forward !

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

Live A Life With Quality And Become An Inspiration !

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

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Aware Of Your Inner Strength !

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


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Prepared For Challenges And Become Victorious !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Our Inner Treasures Help Us In Many Ways !!!

The ones who recognize these treasures are able to look after them carefully and use them for the benefit of all. None of these inner resources are ever wasted.

Respond Calmly To Others Act !

At times there is a weak spot, something you do not want to see about your character. The way to discover it is through others. They are the mirrors that reflect your personality.

When you feel it does not affect you and you can respond calmly, it means that this weakness is no longer in you.
