One Of The Deepest Satisfactions In Life Can Come From Giving !

Some days its hard to get out of bed and get going. Why? Simple really. We try to reverse the energy flow in a universe where all energy is radiating outwards. We try to break one of the spiritual laws. We are taught that winning and achieving are about getting and keeping, when the truth is that winning is about giving. Winners are go givers not go-getters, and their definition of winning is not getting one over on the other guy, but overcoming their inertia and giving something of themselves to someone or something other than themselves. This reverses the energy flow from being outside in, to being inside out, and as we all know, one of the deepest satisfactions in life can come from giving. While it is hard to fathom living a life of giving, when everyone else is on the take, there is an ancient law which ensures that if we did, we would never go without. I think you know what that law is. It allows you to be motivated in a completely different way. No need for any complicated magical solutions ...try it today!

Allow Your Strength To Be Revealed In Your Words And Actions !

The method to finish a weakness is to be detached from it. When there is some weakness working within that has to be overcome, it is very essential for one to get detached from it, that means not to identify with the weakness. If there is an identification with the weakness, it is further strengthened and there is the inability to get rid of it. Since it is there in the consciousness, it is visible in the words and actions too. When we are free from the identification with the weakness, we are able to bring about a change very quickly. We find it very easy to stabilise ourselves in the awareness of our strength and allow that strength to be revealed in all our words and actions. There is no heaviness of the weakness nor is there the feeling of having to give up something, but transformation takes place very easily.

Be Obedient And Remain Content And Positive !

Obedience takes one towards the right direction. Obedience means understanding everything that comes one's way and allowing it to guide life in the right way because nothing comes without a reason. An obedient mind is able to see the positive aspect and understand why there is that kind of a situation and humbly allows the situation to do its work. When I am obedient I am able to remain content and positive. I am not disheartened by low situations but understand that every low situation pushes me upward with greater force. So I enjoy being obedient and easy under all circumstances, yet being powerful within.

Do Your Best And Use Your Resources For Your Progress !

Faith in one's progress brings contentment. Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress. Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate. Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation. The understanding that all life's situations are a training for him, automatically keeping him content in all situations. There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.

Give Blessings And You Will Receive Blessings !

Make The Best Use Of What You Have !

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

Become A Well Wisher !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Greatness Lies In Simplicity !

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

A Peaceful Mind Allows To Deal With All Situations !

Patience is a reflection of the peaceful mind. My peaceful mind is able to cope with all situations without becoming disturbed and agitated. It calmly accepts the resolution of circumstances and, with this patience acquires the power to deal with all situations.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Always Be Ready To Accept Advice Or Suggestions !

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

Humility Earns Respect From Others !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

By Perfection You Bring About Self Progress !

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




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience Positivity From Within !

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


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Communicate Silently To Achieve Best Results !

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




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Committed Towards Truth !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Mercy For Others !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have A Stronger Heart !

The heart is like a flower - unless it is open it cannot release its fragrance into the world. The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit. Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that would trample all over us if we let it. Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage. It is a courage which comes only when we realise that no one can hurt us, no matter what they say or do. They may hurt our body, but if we have realised we are spirit, nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide.




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Detachment Helps Us To Be Free Of Dependency !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility Makes You Powerful !

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



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

What Is Real Freedom ?

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