Be Content ! Be Satisfied !

Next time you are waiting for anything, notice what you are wanting! This will be a source of your tension or impatience. All desire has fear built in - fear of not getting or losing, even before your desire is fulfilled. If you want to be free of fear in life, which is another way of saying if you want to be free of stress, the secret is to want nothing, and then magic happens, for lo and behold, all that you need and more, arrives in your life, at the right time, in the right way. Not what they told us in kindergarten was it?

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Improve Yourselves And Benefit Others With Your Virtues !

To be generous hearted is to bestow others with your specialities and virtues. When we are generous we will become cooperative and enable others to become virtuous through our virtues and fill others with our specialities. The more we use our specialities in this way, the more we will find them increasing. Let us think of something that is very special in us. Today let us take the thought of using this speciality of ours for someone's benefit. Not only will others benefit with this, we will find ourselves improving too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Your Thoughts More Pure, Positive And Powerful !

The practice of the divine virtues makes one positive and powerful. When we are connected to our inner divine virtues, there is peace and beauty in our minds. Thus we find that concentration and memory power increase as every thought is connected to the inner divinity and positivity. When we are not able to take clear decisions or not able to see things clearly, we need to check the quality of our thoughts. We need to make effort to make our thoughts more pure and positive. We can do this when we are able to connect to the divinity within. This will make us experience power.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Correct Others Effectively With Sweetness !

Correction with sweetness is more effective than words spoken with anger. We need to be sweet while we have to correct or point out someone's mistake. When we do that, what goes across to them is the feeling and not the words. If there were to be anger or dislike while correcting them, the response we get would be negative too. When we do have to correct someone, it is necessary to remind ourselves to be sweet, not just in our words, but in our attitude as well. For this we need to practice having good wishes for the one we want to bring a change in. Love combined with sweetness will surely work, and we'll definitely be able to notice a change.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Optimism Changes Things In The Right Way !

The ones with real sweetness are always optimistic. Having understood the secret behind each and everything that is happening, sweetness comes in our lives. Then we automatically find ourselves becoming optimistic. Even under the most difficult situation, we would never let go off our optimism. If we ever find ourselves disheartened or discouraged, we should remind ourselves of our own inner sweetness. We know and understand that things will ultimately happen in the right way, we only have to wait and watch. We have the faith that things will surely change.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Happy And Magic Enters Your Life !

Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Importance Of Spiritual Identity !

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.

Create A Positive Atmosphere Around You !

Even if I don't mean to be critical, I often unconsciously home in on others' weaknesses and mistakes. The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness and only holding onto the good in others and situations, the more my own sense of well-being will rise. When I continually think: "He/she is wrong", I create a barrier that prevents me from reaching my own goodness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become Powerful ! Make Good Use Of All Resources !

The ability to transform waste into powerful is to be successful. Waste only makes the mind heavy. There is no benefit in looking at and thinking about waste. On the other hand to look beyond what is visibly seen, is to see something beautiful and powerful within what is seemingly waste. So there is the ability to move forward under all circumstances making good use of all the resources. Making effort constantly even in difficult circumstances gives us the power to be further away from all kind of waste. We are constantly light, free and powerful. We also become an inspiration for others around us and our very presence enables them to see beyond the situation and make them free from waste too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Positive Feelings Bring Progress And Well- Being Of Others !

To have positive feelings is to become a safe harbour for all. When there is someone who is working with negativity, it is natural to get caught up with that. But when one's heart is free from negative feelings and emotions, especially for the person concerned, it becomes easy for others to take benefit from one's own positivity. Words and actions are only those that are beneficial for the other person. Our positivity keeps us free from blaming others and enables us to be rich with the variety of experiences that we get. Also others are able to find a safe harbour in us, which gives an environment for the other person's growth. Along with our own progress, we become instrumental for the progress and well-being of those around us too.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have A Pure Heart And A Pure Mind !

To have a pure heart is to reach the destination quickly. To have a pure heart means to keep the mind free from negative and waste. When there is positivity within, the mind is receptive to new ideas as it is in perfect peace. So the best is made out of the situation at hand and so it is easy to pool in all the resources in order to reach the destination. When we have a pure heart, we experience the beauty and positivity of life. We are able to keep our mind calm and enjoy everything that comes our way. Our destination is clear and we have the confidence to work towards it. We get the blessings and good wishes of those around which help us further move forward.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become An Embodiment Of Knowledge !

To churn knowledge means to become an embodiment of it. To churn knowledge means to be able to understand its significance and its application in one's own life. So the one who churns knowledge is able to easily put the understanding into practice. So there is quick and permanent change visible in the one who is constantly trying to go to the depth of knowledge by churning it. When we are able to understand knowledge in the right perspective by thinking about it and churning it, we are able to be free from rules and yet bring about a change easily and naturally. There are no more 'dos' and 'don'ts' but only simple understanding and easy change. So we are able to become an embodiment of what we know.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Detachment Helps Us To Do Our Best !

Detachment brings perfection. When there is detachment, there is the ability to see things for what they are. One is not colored with one's own feelings and attitudes, but there is the ability to be free from them. So the words and actions that emerge are naturally free from past experiences. So there is the best ability to use the resources available and so there is perfection. Since we are detached, we are able to be in the present and enjoy whatever is available with us. We are able to bring out and experience the inner perfection. We are not colored with past experiences nor do we limit our own inner powers because of them. We are able to do the best even while experiencing full freedom.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Enjoy Life With A Happy Inner State Of Mind !

The nourishment of happiness keeps one healthy. To be happy means not to be influenced with the external stimulus for the internal state of happiness, but to discover the joy within. So the one who is constantly in touch with the internal state of happiness is able to express this happiness. The one who is free from internal dis-ease is the one who is free from disease. We are able to enjoy the beauty of everything when we are able to maintain our own inner state of happiness. Our body, mind, relationships, everything is healthy because of this internal state of mind. We are able to enjoy everything we do too and experience constant progress and success.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become Truly Trustworthy !!!

The one who is honest is the one who becomes trustworthy. To be honest means to be honest to oneself too. It is not just being honest or truthful with others. The one who is honest is the one who is able to discover the resources within and use it for the benefit of the self and of others. So he is able to be available for whatever task he is supposed to do. When we are honest with all the resources we have, we find ourselves enriched further. The more we use our resources for the benefit of all, the more we are able to become trustworthy. Others are able to rely on us and we are able to live up to the expectations of others by doing to the best of our ability.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Color Your Life With Your Own Virtues !

To experience inner virtues is to spread fragrance. Like a rose which continues to spread its fragrance to everyone it comes into contact with, the one who is in touch with inner qualities and virtues is able to do the same. When there is the experience of the inner qualities, there is a natural expression of these qualities in every act and in every interaction. When we are able to constantly be in touch with our inner qualities, we are able to experience the positivity in everything we come into contact with. We remain happy and content with whatever life brings our way, yet we can continue to make the best of every situation, colouring it with our own virtues.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Calm And Tension Free !

To have attention is to be free from tension. Tension comes when little things are neglected and they result in big things. The attention that is needed is not paid and so they result in tension. When there is attention at every step, little things are taken care of. Attention also means constant checking of the self and introspection, which brings self-correction immediately. When we have attention on little things, we are able to keep our mind cool and calm. Challenging situations or people don't take us away from our state of well-being. As we are in constant touch with our own inner qualities, we are free from the influence of the outside environment and we move on towards further empowerment.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Best Intelligent Thought !

The one who is generous gets everything and is yet free from desires. When we are generous we would have no expectations from others or situations. Then we are able to appreciate all the good things that life brings our way. Also the more we are able to be beyond desires the more we find that what is right comes to us. When we find ourselves expecting something, we need to tell ourselves that we will surely get what is right for us. So we need not ask for anything, but enjoy and use everything that comes our way for our benefit and for the benefit of others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Truthfulness Helps You To Be Stable !

Stability comes where there is truth. If we are arguing to prove ourselves right, we are not actually in our stable stage. It is of course necessary to clarify for accuracy, but it is not necessary to argue with stubbornness. If we are arguing, it means we are not convinced about the truth. When involved in an argument with someone, we need to check if we are convinced of the truth of what we are arguing about. If we are sure, then we need to remind ourselves that we needn't argue because truth will be revealed on its own. This will ensure our stability in that particular situation. Then we can clear things out with a cool mind.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility Helps To Perfect Yourselves !

Humility brings learning. Where there is humility there is willingness to learn. When humility is lacking, ego comes which doesn't let us learn from all situations and people. The power of humility enables us to learn and move forward. When we're faced with criticism, we need to see what we can learn from it, instead of feeling bad about it. Even things that go wrong have something to teach us, if we are willing to learn. With humility we continue to learn.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
