Have The Right Faith In Others !

Faith in others enables them to be powerful. Faith in others is usually mistaken for blind faith - observing helplessly only hoping for the best in our heart. We then consciously don't do anything but just hope for the best. In such a situation we subtly experience fear or tension. But this is not true faith nor is the outcome usually right. Faith in others means to remain alert to what is going on and then to fill the other person with the strength of our faith to such an extent that they feel able to do whatever needs to be done. Our faith will fill them with confidence and they will be able to give their best to the task.

Make Your Intellect Refined !

In order to make your intellect refined, talk to yourself and talk to God with your heart. Don't just make complaints and demands. Allow your intellect to become peaceful. Forget anything that has to do with the body or - bodily - relations. As He is nonphysical, make yourself nonphysical with your thoughts; then have a conversation with Him. He will listen to the things of your heart and give you a response.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus On The Potential And Unique Specialties Of Others !

True help is to appreciate the efforts of each one to improve themselves. Not realising that all are making effort to bring improvement in themselves at their own level, we tend to point out people's mistakes only to prove them wrong. It is by proving them wrong that we want to prove ourselves right. This doesn't help others in anyway to bring a change in them. We need to focus more on the potential and unique specialities of those around us, rather than on their faults. This will help us to appreciate the effort that each one is making to bring improvement in himself. Then we find that even the corrections we give are effective, as they are more for the benefit of the other person. This is the real help we can give to others.

Enjoy Whatever Comes Your Way !

When I finish this project, then I will be happy! When this situation is resolved, I will be fine. When I reach my goal, I will finally relax, be peaceful! To surf in the Ocean is to understand where the waves are coming from and which ones to take. Maybe what life is asking of you is different from the responses you were trained to give to it. To be successful in the Ocean needs effort and positioning. Catch the right wave. The objective of the surfer is to enjoy the ride, to have fun. In the same way, do not postpone your happiness; enjoy whatever comes your way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Success Is Achieved By Team Work !

Success comes to the one who is able to involve others and work as a team. Because of having a feeling that the more the people involved, the more difficult the task becomes, we tend to avoid involving others in any task that we take up. We tend to do everything on our own, making us lose out on useful resources that we can get as others' contribution. As much as possible we need to involve others in such a way that they make a valuable contribution to the task that we have undertaken. We are doubly benefited with this. Firstly, we will gain from the others' resources. We also find that the good wishes of others are there for the task for which they have contributed and we find ourselves succeeding.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Handle Responsibility In A Positive Way !

Responsibility enables us to give our best in all we do. When we are responsible to do something, we tend to feel burdened. This could be because responsibility sometimes takes on the form of interference. That is we take on those tasks too that are not connected with us. To such an extent that we even begin to do those things that others are capable of doing by themselves. If we ever find ourselves feeling burdened, we need to ask ourselves if we are taking on any responsibility which is not ours. When we recognise the fact that responsibility doesn't mean taking on everything on our head, we will be able to lighten our own burden. At all times we need to have this attention that we need to take responsibility but if the situation is not our business or someone else is in charge, we don't have to get caught in it.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Experience The Specialty Of Doing A Task !

An elevated consciousness brings specialty to the task being done. As is the consciousness, so is the feeling behind the task, and therefore its quality. Just to perform action and finish the tasks at hand does not bring specialty and accuracy as much as it should. When the consciousness is special, that means before a task is performed there is a thought given both to the task and to the self, there is specialty revealed in the task. When we are able to start each task with a special consciousness, like "I am victorious", or "I am powerful" or "this task is for the benefit of all", we are able to experience the specialty of doing the task. We are also able to increase our state of self-respect, whatever the task or however simple it maybe.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep a Positive Attitude Towards Others !

True help is to help people discover their own specialities. When others' negativities or weaknesses are perceived, it is essential to look at their positivity or specialities too. This will naturally bring love and positivity in the relationship and there will be an encouragement of that positivity. So even if that person has no recognition or has not been using his speciality, an encouragement of it by others will naturally enable him to begin to use it. Making others aware of their specialities and subtly encouraging them to use these specialities is a great help that we can do for others. When we are able to give this unique help and cooperation, we not only find benefit for others, but we are also able to get the good wishes of others. Even others naturally become positive with our positive attitude.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Guide Your Mind In The Right Direction !

To be healthy internally is to make the best use of all treasures. A healthy intellect acts like a mother, always showing the right path. When internally one is strong, there is the natural ability to treat the mind with love and guide it towards the right direction. Such a healthy state of mind naturally enables the recognition and the proper utilisation of everything available. Once we have learnt the art of guiding our mind in the right direction with love, we then never experience the difficulty of having to bring back the mind to the right thinking. Because the mind is totally under control in a very easy and natural way and we don't have to control it or force it to think or not to think in a particular way.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Relaxed And Easy Even In Difficult Situations !

The one who has self-respect is the one who is free from aggression. When the situation seems out of control, there is naturally a feeling of helplessness. This helplessness further creates tension, which gets expressed in the form of aggression. Such a kind of aggression cannot be suppressed or controlled. To be in the state of one's own self- respect is to be confident and the one who is confident will be assertive but can never be aggressive. We are able to keep our mind cool, when we are in our state of self-respect. So we never react to situations negatively but we are able to understand the situation and respond in the right way. We take decisions in a calm and composed state of mind, and are relaxed and easy even in the most difficult situations.


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Fill Your Words With Power Of Positivity !

To be free from waste words is to ensure easy success. The one who wastes time and energy in gossip or slander has no time for success. All attention is focused on picking out the mistakes and the negativity of others and so there is no attention on learning new things or picking out the positive. So there is negativity visible in one's own attitude, words and actions. When we are able to free ourselves from waste and negative words, we are able to use the resource of our words in a positive and useful way. Our words would be filled with the power of positivity and faith, faith in the self and faith in others.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

See Positivity In Each Person And Remain Happy !

To remain happy is to truly live life. Life has meaning when there is the happiness of living. Everything that happens brings something new. The more the mind is tuned to see and appreciate this truth; there is the happiness that lasts - whatever the situations may be. The one who is constantly happy is able to creatively use all the resources in the right way and also makes others happy. When we are able to maintain our internal state of happiness under all circumstances, we are able to enjoy the beauty of life. We are only able to see the positive in each and everything and also only the specialities and goodness in everyone. We are never let down by situations, people or their reactions, but enjoy everything.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Faith In Your Work !

Faith brings victory. When things seem to be going wrong again and again we begin to get upset and curse our fate. Mentally we seem to accept our defeat and when we start something new, we are not always able to be confident as there is an underlying fear of failing. When there is fear, it will be difficult for us to succeed as we are not able to do things to the best of our ability. We need to be alert under all circumstances. This will help us to recognise negativity as soon as it comes up. Instead of making our mind negative when things go wrong, we need to work at increasing our faith that things will work out fine. Then we will also be able to give our best to the task with confidence. And we will be successful in whatever we take up.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn The Art Of Forgiving !

To forgive is to give correction. When there is forgiveness, the harm of the mistake is forgotten. The mistake itself is remembered only to the extent that the correction is to be given. So there are no negative feelings expressed even while giving correction. And the words that are used are few but prove to be very effective. When we learn the art of forgiving we are able to be free from the burden of negative and waste thinking. So there is never any difficulty in giving correction when necessary. The mind is free from the attitudes of the past and it creates harmony in relationships even if the opinions or personalities don't match.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Good Wishes And Pure Feelings For Others !

Good wishes and pure feelings bring easy success while working at a task. If there are good feelings for both the task and the one who is carrying out the task, then the result attained by those feelings is automatically special. The feeling of giving love and cooperation, no matter what anyone is like gives good wishes and pure feelings. There is a deep impact of such good feelings which transforms others too. When we are able to maintain our own good feelings for others, we are able to enjoy the fruit of our pure thoughts. We are not disturbed by temporary clashes that we have because of the different nature of the persons we are working with, but enjoy working together. So there are also good feelings from the other person too and there is easy success experienced.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become A Positive Source Of Support !

Mercy means to give support to the ones who are helpless. A negative situation or a person who is in need and is helpless usually stimulates feelings of unhappiness or sorrow. At such a time it becomes very difficult to maintain a positive state of mind. But real mercy is that which gives support through the positive state of one's mind. The more there is the feeling of happiness; others too can be brought to that state of happiness and joy. When we are able to remain happy even in negative situations, we are able to maintain our internal state of calm. And this is the best frame of mind where we are able to see things objectively and in a detached way and we are able to make the right decisions. So we find ourselves becoming a source of support.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Move Forward In Life With Zeal And Enthusiasm !

The one with zeal and enthusiasm is constantly tireless. Zeal and enthusiasm brings the willingness to move forward under all circumstances. Never are there are any excuses given, whatever the difficult situations or challenges that one might be faced with. Instead whatever has to be done is done without any tiredness. Also the best is made out of all situations. This tirelessness gives us the courage to move on and experience constant success. We become aware of our own resources and make the best use of them. So we also experience internal progress, constantly.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Fill Positive Thoughts With Power Of Determination !

Determination fills a thought with power. Any thought which is added with determination automatically brings confidence. This confidence naturally fills the thought with power. When there is the thought, 'I can do it', there is surely the power to do it. Then there are no distractions, nor is there any comparison with others. All resources are put to the maximum use and the task is accomplished. When we are able to fill our positive thoughts with the power of determination, we are able to bring all our special thoughts and plans into action immediately. We are able to feel the satisfaction of bringing equality into our thoughts, words and actions. There is no feeling of helplessness, but there is only confidence and courage in doing what we are supposed to do.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Inspire Courage In Others And Become Victorious !

True victory lies in inspiring courage in others too. The one who is victorious enables others to be victorious too. Such a person will never make the other person seem any less. He will never allow the other person to feel defeated because the one who is victorious is a bestower. He has the ability to give courage to others and fill others with the hope to achieve something better. This will never let him lose hope in himself or in others and will also win the trust and good wishes of others. So there is a constant experience of being victorious.




~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Newness In Your Work For Constant Progress !

To bring newness into actions means to contribute for the betterment of the self and others. There is a constant desire to do something better that makes a contribution to oneself and to others too. So the one who thinks of newness can bring about such a contribution. There will not be something different that can be done. But the same thing can be done in such a way that there is benefit visible. When we are able to bring newness in the way we do things, we are able to experience constant progress. There will also be the satisfaction of bringing about newness and creativity even in ordinary actions. Along with this there will also be the satisfaction of making a contribution in every action of ours.
