Give Regards And Bring Improvement In Others’ Lives !

To give regard to all is to win the love of all. To give regard to someone who is older and more experienced is one thing, but it is also important to have regard to someone who is younger. When there is such regard, interaction with them would surely be positive. The words spoken would be encouraging and giving them support and never putting them down even when they make mistakes. When we are able to give regard to everyone, we are able to win the love of all. We are not dependent on others' love for giving them regard, but are able to appreciate them as they are. We are able to see their specialities and encourage them to use these specialities. This naturally wins the love of others, along with bringing improvement in their own life.

Be Patient And Experience Success !

The one who is patient experiences constant success. I always expect things to happen fast. Even with a little effort on my part I expect high results. Because of my impatience I just can't wait, I jump to conclusions and react without understanding the problem. Thus I find it difficult to experience success in whatever I do. I need to understand that the fruit of the seeds I sow will come at their own time. This gives me the patience to wait without expecting results too fast. Also patience allows me to be calm even in the most negative situations. Thus I will be able to experience success whatever the immediate result of my actions might be.

Opening Our Mind For A Positive Conversation With God !

One of the best ways to remain light, even in the middle of chaos and heaviness, is to keep a conversation with God. Chatting to God, whose responsibilities are unlimited, about trivial matters that are wearing us down gives us a more entertaining view of life. It requires a certain stillness of mind to hear His advice, but with practice we learn to sense His perspective on our minor irritations. Since His mind radiates lightness and love, the very act of opening ourselves up to Him enables us to lighten our burdens.

Free Yourselves From The Past And Move Towards The Future !

To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past. Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too. The present is lost in thinking about the past. So there can be nothing done to enjoy the present. All words and actions then are totally coloured by the past. Instead the one who is able to free himself from the influence of the past is able to move positively towards the future. To be free from the influence of the past it is important to have a powerful consciousness of the present. To be able to be free from the influence of the past is to forget the past. Because there is the understanding that it is gone. Also there is no worry about the future. When we are able to learn to live in the present we are able to discover how full it is of peaceful moments.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Think Right ! Think Positive !

You can only be in one place at any moment in time. If you feel you are missing out on something then you are. But it's not the party, or being with another person that you're missing, it's your own life. As long as you are thinking of where you could be, you are marking yourself absent from where you are now. Which means you are nowhere. Many people spend their entire life in 'nowhere'. Not a wise choice!



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Mind Needs Positive Ideas And Images !

We each have the three energies we need to learn to manage - spirit, mind and body. All three need a good diet - body needs pure food (vegetarian), your mind needs positive ideas and images, and the spirit that you are needs time in silence and stillness to refresh and renew. These are our resources, and each one needs topping up, otherwise we run on empty and dis - ease comes to visit.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Speak With Love Filled With Good Wishes For Others !

Words filled with good wishes bring change in others. When there are good wishes combined with the words that I speak, there is love. Whatever is spoken with love has its effect on others. Such words are free from all kind of negativity, so they naturally have a lot of power. Only such powerful words can bring about a change in others. When I speak with love and good wishes, I find that I am light, knowing that I have no selfishness in whatever I have said. The others too are able to immediately correct themselves. This also enables me to gain good wishes for having taken them a step forward.

Smile At Others And They Will Smile Back At You !

Try this experiment today. Enter the office with a straight face (not too straight). As you meet others who have a similar kind of straightness on their face, force yourself to smile. Then watch the other person return the smile - perhaps not to the same extent or for so long, or absolutely immediately - but it will return. This is the absolute and often instant proof of the 'ripple and reflect effect'. You get back whatever you put out. We know this, but we forget, and then wonder why everyone seems to give us a straight face, even a grumpy face, on a regular basis. Now learn to make the smile more real, deeper, smilier! Where does a real smile begin? From the heart. Can you smile at will from the heart? Why not? You need to find out soon, because you will live an unsmiling life if you don't find out what is stopping your heart reaching your face! No one else is responsible - there's only you in there! So don't go blaming others if you are not radiating from head and heart. What's blocking it? Take your time. Look in, listen in and see. You'll be surprised. You'll probably laugh. And say, "How silly!"



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Understand Your Problems and Solve It Easily !

To consider problems to be a game is to move forward with lightness. Even when the most difficult problem comes my way, I am able to give my best when I understand the significance of whatever is happening. Because I never experience being subservient to the problem, I am always a master. When I understand that problems are just a game, I am able to play whatever part I have to, externally. But internally I will experience lightness knowing that this is the part I have to play. It would be easy to understand the significance of the part that I am playing and remain happy.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Natural Mind Is Peaceful !

Uncontrolled, scattered thoughts are like a speeding car. Unless you brake you'll crash. We need to put on the brakes if our minds are to work naturally. A natural mind is peaceful and a peaceful mind brings clarity.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Pay Proper Attention To Everything To Give Your Best !

To pay attention to every act is to be a hero. A hero actor is one who his words or actions are ordinary or waste. He ensures perfection in everything he does. This naturally brings the best out of him. Since we pay constant attention to everything we do, we find that we are able to give our best. We are then satisfied with whatever is happening since we know what we do is not as important as how well we do it.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Happiness Within Brings About Creativity !

Creativity comes when there is happiness. Happiness touches the heart and enables the creativity to come from within. The one who is happy doesn't wait for the right opportunity to be creative, but uses each moment as a chance for using creativity - for bringing newness. When we are happy we are able to enjoy and make the best use of each and every moment of my life. We will want to do something new, unique and different. So we also have the satisfaction of having done our best.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Trust Yourself !

You must begin to trust yourself. If you do not then you will forever be looking to others to prove your own merit to you and you will never be satisfied. You will always be asking others what to do, and at the same time resenting those from whom you seek such aid.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Source Of Positive Influence To Those Around !

Understanding brings happiness. Happiness lies in understanding the secret of whatever is happening. When one is able to remain happy in this way, he is able to spread this happiness to those around too, influencing the lives of all. When we are able to remain happy under all circumstances, we are able to be free from the influence of others' negativity. Instead we will be able to become a major source of positive influence to those around us.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Love for Perfection Leads Us To Progress !

The one desire for perfection ends all other desires. The desire for perfection brings the capacity to keep on learning from all situations. There is something new to learn and so there are no other desires. Since the mind is busy with bringing about perfection, there is no time for waste and negative. There is the ability to transform negative to positive. Love for perfection makes us experience constant progress. We have no thought about what we have to get, but continue to attain from each moment and each situation. We are then naturally free from all other desires.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The Purpose Of Your Life Is To Spread Happiness !

If at any time I begin to lose hope in myself, let me simply look inside my heart and see all the good actions I have ever performed, from the smallest to the grandest. When I see how much happiness I have given, I easily remember the purpose of my life.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith For Positive Thoughts And Experience Victory !

Where there is faith there is victory. When someone has faith there are no doubts or questions about the self, others or situations. Faith also enables a person to see and understand simple things in life with a new understanding. It shows direction and courage to go on. When we have faith, we experience ourselves to be lucky and thus receive cooperation from many others. We would also be able to experience success at every step. There is then no worry and we are troubled less by aspects that keep changing around us. Our thoughts then would always be positive and we experience victory.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Willing To Change For Your Progress And Improvement !

To have a clean and clear heart is to learn constantly. The one with a clean and clear heart practices the truth in daily life. Such a person is able to focus attention on the self instead of looking wastefully at others or their weaknesses. It enables to bring knowledge into practice. It enables one to be free from excuses. Thus there is constant learning and constant change and progress. Where we have a clean heart we are free from feelings of laziness, fear or dependence. When we are clear within, there is a deep desire within us to change and we make ourselves available for every little thing that will enable us to bring about a change. We are willing to change constantly, progressing and improving with each and every situation.

Does Your Real Happiness Come From Inside !

There is essentially only one way in which you can bring about self- transformation - that's if you want to - but you will not think you need to if you are still taking your happiness from outside yourself, and still managing to tolerate the periods of unhappiness which result. As soon as your happiness is dependent on anything outside, you make yourself a slave to a condition, substance or perhaps a person. A slave is not free. And happiness is impossible if you are not free. Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why our happiness fluctuates. Real happiness does not go up and down. Real freedom means that your happiness comes from inside out. That will require detachment and renunciation, not least from the illusions and conditioning of society which would have you believe happiness can be acquired from outside in. Can you see it? Inside out, not outside in!




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have The Consciousness Of Being A Master And Be Free From Inner Conflict And Struggle !

To have the awareness of being a master is to use inner powers accurately. The one who is a master of the self is able to keep everything under control. He is able to understand the situation and act accordingly. He never reacts to situations, so he doesn't allow situations to influence him. On the other hand, he becomes a source of influence on everything around. When we have the consciousness of being a master, we are free from inner conflict and struggle. We are not under anyone or anything's control but are able to give an order in a second. We find that our mind, our sense organs everything is ready to obey these orders. Our life thus moves in the right direction.
