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.

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.

Mind : Our Best Friend Or Our Worst Enemy!

It is said that the mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. At every moment we have the opportunity to choose our company; thoughts which bring oxygen to the spirit or those who bring pain. If I am loyal to myself, I will continually strive to go back to my inner core of positivity. Again and again, I will be patient and loving, and increasingly my mind will reside in this positive inner truth. When I am able to be loving and loyal to myself, I can then help others in this same unconditional manner.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Open Your Mind!

The mind is like a parachute - it works best when it is open. How quickly we make assumptions, jump to conclusions and close our mind. How easily we form and hold fast to our opinions and then close our mind. How fast do we make a judgment, slap on a label and then close our mind. A closed mind never knows the delight of playing with possibilities, being enlightened by others point of view or enjoying the diversity of human life. An open and understanding mind never assumes, doesn't jump to conclusions and won't hold fast to any opinion. Perhaps it is no wonder a closed mind is not a very relaxed mind.

Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Help The World To Live In Peace!

Your thoughts guide you to your destiny. If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. If you always think the same you will always get to the same place. Think in a new way and you will be a new person. Give happiness to all and you will live in peace. Create peace in your mind and you will create a world of peace around you.

~Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In Oneself.

When we are confronted with a difficult problem, we sometimes get dejected, lose faith in those things that sustained us, lose faith in the self. Our speech patterns may change, emotions are jagged and our actions are questionable. We become unstable - quite different from what we would like to be. If we remain stable in the remembrance of our true identity, if we always keep in front of us the image of our more elevated form and we understand that we are masters of our own fortune or misfortune(as you sow so shall you reap) obstacles will never shake us. If we are fortified from the inside, in face of the outside happenings we remain ever stable, ever secure, ever sure.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Purity Reflects Our Inner Strength

Purity means the complete control over mind, speech, body and action. One's appearance, personality and impressions at any time or anywhere should be leaving positive aura or vibrations by natural means. Simply purity means staying soul-conscious mentally, physically as well as actionably.

Relationship is like a tapestry.

A relationship is like a tapestry. The fabric is strongest where the threads that hold it together are spun of openness, love and trust.

Nature Keeps On Changing!

Nature has order, happiness and sorrow each in their own time. Knowing that all things move in cycles can give hope that what is uncomfortable now may soon change.
