Experience The Power Of Truth And Have A Positive Impact On Other Person !

Inner power reveals truth through few words. When there is an experience of the truth that one is speaking about, there is economy in words. The authority of the experience is so powerful that it has a very positive impact on the other person. There need not be many words used but a few words would convey very powerfully and bring about the desired change too. When we have experienced the truth of what we say, we are an embodiment of what we are speaking. So our words are not just words but are more an inspiration for those around us. We bring about a change in people automatically because we become a role model. We don't have to use a lot of energy in correcting things that go wrong. Instead we are able to inspire change easily.

Self Esteem And Inner Strength Grows If Tolerance Turns Into Strength !

You have the power to tolerate anyone and any situation. But tolerance is not just suffering in silence. It means going beyond any personal discomfort you may feel, and giving a gift to whom ever you would tolerate. Give your time, attention, understanding, compassion, care - all are gifts, which paradoxically, you also receive in the process of giving. And, as you do, you will experience your own self esteem and inner strength grow. In this way you can turn tolerance into strength.

Be Sure Of Remaining Free From Burdens By Having Faith In God !

I can make a hobby out of worrying. I worry about the noise and then complain when it is too quiet. I worry about having too many sunny dry spells and then complain when it rains. I may even be worried about worrying too much. It is essential to take an honest interest in what goes on around me, and of course it is always wise to analyze a situation and take the necessary precautions to avoid being influenced by anything negative. However, when all is said and done, my tense and burdened mind will not be able to function clearly enough to arrive at a suitable solution to a problem. Maybe I should just do the best that I can and beyond that leave it in the hands of God. To have faith in the self, faith in God and faith in God's plan is a sure way to remain clear and free of burdens.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Always Have A Clean And Clear Mind !

I cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people have on me. There are cases where people quarrel, fight and even commit murder because they are influenced by gossip, influenced by the words of others. To what extent do I check that I am not being influenced by gossip? Negativity in the mind is like poison. Negative thoughts are the seeds of negative actions. It might seem like a simple everyday occurrence - my friends tell me in the strictest confidence that such and such a person is like this and does so-and-so. I listen and accept without question because of the friendship. My attitude and actions now become influenced by my friends words, and I find myself acting and reacting in accordance with the information fed to me. Gossip and guessing bring sorrow, heaviness and distrust. Poison can come in many disguises, but poison is poison whether from an enemy or a friend.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Exercise The Power Of Peace !

Peace consists of pure thoughts, pure feelings and pure wishes. When the energy of thought, word and action is balanced and stable, the individual is at peace with the self, in relationships and the world. To exercise the power of peace look inward in order to look outward with courage, purpose and meaning.

Don't Miss Your Life By Trying To Live Someone Else's Life

Many of us spend most of our life trying to live someone else's life. We are great fixers, and as we watch others we can hear ourselves attempting to 'sort them out'. We hear it in our conversations with others and with ourselves. It sounds like, "They shouldn't...weren'tthey awful...did you hear about so and so...in my opinion they should". In these moments we waste time trying to write the script of others and forget to write our own. We have no right to write another's script and any attempt to do so is futile, frustrating and doomed to failure. So let be, and taste the freedom from the subtle tensions and anxieties about others by letting them write their own script. Don't miss your life by trying to live someone else's.

Secrets Of A Happy Life !

Silence, happiness, love and blessings are important aspects. Happiness leads to good health. It is only you who can give this medicine to yourself. Some bring illness to themselves through anger, greed, unfullfilled desires, expectations, suppression of feelings and relationships not based on true love. Look in your heart, you will know where your illness comes from. There are three ingredients for a long and healthy life: live with attention but without worry; use time in a worthwhile way; keep your thoughts pure, positive and filled with strength.

Have a Strong And Courageous 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.

Experience The true Beauty And Richness Of Every Moment By Being A Master !

To be a master means to be powerful. The one who is a master, is never influenced negatively by situations or people. He never reacts to situations or people. He is able to recognize and understand the need and fill in with what is missing. So there is the ability to respond positively and effectively. When we have the consciousness of being a master, we are powerfully in control of situations and people. We are thus able to be beyond the influence of superficial and negative situations. We thus experience the true beauty and richness of each and every moment.

Real Honesty Brings Us Deep Inner Contentment And Joy !

Real honesty is to be free from excuses. The one who is truly honest never gives excuses - to himself or to others. He is free from words that blame others or give excuses. Honesty also enables one to bring into action only such things that will bring about progress for the self and will influence others positively. When we are free from giving excuses, we are able to learn from situations and experience constant progress. This is real honesty, which brings us deep inner contentment and joy. It also brings us blessings and good wishes from others on the basis of their trust.

Act According To Your Positive Thoughts And Words !

It is on the basis of actions that praise is received. The one who only talks and is not able to put his talk into practice does not become worthy of praise. On the other hand, the one who is able to bring his good thoughts and words into action becomes worthy of praise. Such a person's actions become inspirational for others and encourage them to follow him. When we are able to act according to our thoughts and words, we are able to take inspiration to do more. For every positive action that we do, we experience support and good wishes from others which encourage us constantly. Our account of positivity is always full and it takes us further to a cycle of positivity making it a habit. So we find that we don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.

Be A Learner Always To Become Successful !

To have a balance between being a master and a child is to ensure success. To be in the consciousness of being a master means to have confidence in whatever has to be done and in the ideas that have to be put forth. Along with this if there is the consciousness of being a child, there is learning and improvement, because criticism is taken in the right spirit. When we are able to be open to criticism as a child, we are able to learn from it. We are able to gain further mastery without being troubled by ego. Our learning would never be blocked by what other people think or feel. Instead we are able to experience constant progress and sure success.

Enable Others To Use Their Potentials For A Positive Purpose !

To fill the ones who are hopeless with hope is the greatest service. To have faith by seeing the positive qualities even in the most negative person is to fill them with hope. Also to fill hope means to encourage others to move forward in the most negative situation. When this is done they are able to use their potentials for a positive purpose and slowly bring about a change for the better. When we are able to see positivity under all circumstances, we are able to have the courage and enthusiasm to make the best out of every situation. This also naturally makes us an inspiration for those around us too and makes us an image of support for those who want to make effort.

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.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

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.

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! –

Humility Enables A Person To Give Unconditionally !

To be humble is to get a share of the outcome. There is surely the contribution of each and everyone in the success of a task. 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.
