Control Self So That You Don't Get Controlled !!

The more control we have over ourselves and our lives, the happier and freer we will feel. We sometimes get angry with other people. This probably happens because they have not met our expectations or we were trying to control them and they have not let us. Sometimes, the simple expectation that a person should behave as we want them to is in itself an attempt to control them. When we try to control another person, which is impossible, we are bound to fail, feel frustrated and stressed. 

We are capable of having power over ourselves; we can be more responsible for our thoughts and feelings. We have the capacity to choose how we respond to different situations and people that we come across in our lives. If we do not exercise much control over our thoughts and emotions, we easily fall into the tendency of seeing ourselves as victimized, and we blame others, making them responsible in our own minds for how we feel. When we do this, we are forgetting that we create our own thoughts. When this happens, we are handing over the control of our thoughts to those who influence, criticize, attack or slander us. If we want to recover the control over our life, we must learn to control our thoughts and feelings and not blame anyone else for them. The more self-control we have over ourselves, the less will we want to control others and our capacity to influence other people positively will be greater.

You Can Be The Best Anywhere !!

Become like a lotus flower that spreads its beauty even while being in the mud. 

Check if you are having thoughts like, "this atmosphere is not right for me... or I need to go to a better place..." If there are any such thoughts, it means you are trying to run away which is not the right solution. Each day practice telling yourself, "like the lotus flower which remains beautiful even in muddy water, I too can be the best wherever I am." When you practice this you will not run away from things, but will be able to put in your best. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Forget Past, Get Conscious To Be Successful !

To think over and over again about a mistake you have made once is constantly to put stains on top of stains. 

Therefore, put a full stop to the past.

Success is achieved when there is no consciousness of mine. 

During the whole day, in all the tasks that you do which involves others, check if you are able to do it smoothly and harmoniously and if you are satisfied. Whenever you find yourself failing check if you are having the consciousness of 'mine' or that of 'ours'.In both your thoughts and your words, let there be the word 'our' instead of 'mine'. The more you involve others in this way, you'll find yourself getting the good wishes of others and you'll be successful.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Quality Change Helps Face Situations Easily !

Quality change is the capacity to transform 'negative' situations, or circumstances, into something beneficial for one's self and others. 'Quality transformers' are people who can turn walls of resistance into bridges of understanding and keep crossing them, who can change any obstacle into a stepping stone of success and can reverse the troubling, paralyzing dragon of doubt and insecurity into radiant self-confidence, dissolving the thought 'impossible' from the mind. 

Such people work with the undercurrents of life that determine the external reality, of human interaction. These undercurrents are their attitudes, thoughts and feelings. If these undercurrents are filled with resentment, anger and selfishness, then, despite being polite and cooperative externally with people, relationships will be subject to damage and deterioration. On the other hand, when the undercurrent is filled with trust and sincerity, then the quality of life and relationships is enhanced. The fundamental source of quality is the existence of a positive undercurrent. It is not a matter of our words, actions or role (which is the external reality), but rather the foundation, the undercurrent i.e. the thoughts and the activity of the mind. 


Meditation enables the mind to tune in to that undercurrent of thoughts, feelings, and attitudes, which is the invisible creator of our human reality. The nourishing power of silence, attained through meditation and spiritual knowledge, gives us the means to bring about quality transformation (change) in this undercurrent. Such change enhances our self-confidence and the capacity to creatively and positively relate to life as it is and face situations easily.

We learn Lifetime Lessons from School !!

Life is a school, in which we learn and grow.

The tests in life aren't there to shake us but to makes us. 




Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class ... 

but the lessons we learn will last a lifetime. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Get Into The Habit of Listening !!

In silence lies the ability to listen: to listen to ourselves, to others and to God. 

Listening is a lost art. Without it we cannot communicate, we cannot relate to each other and so we cannot live life meaningfully. We need to learn to listen.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Positive Attitude Helps Experience Inner Happiness !

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.

Be Confident & Fast To Choose The Perfect !!

We assume that more choice means better options. However, beware of choice overload; it can leave us confused because a world of possibilities can also be a world of missed opportunities! Any choice will close other doors that we'd rather keep open.

Instead of exhaustively scanning all options until finding the perfect one, narrow your options. And then decide on something you feel good about.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Try To Find Special In Self And Others !!

Become the one who is special by seeing only specialities. Throughout the day, among all the people you meet check if you are seeing any negative quality in them. Also check if you are seeing specialities in others or not. 

Each day tell yourself, "I am special and I only see the specialities in myself and others." Then practice seeing only the good qualities in others and you will become good too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Beautiful Positive Message !

Summer - it's a time of abundance, to enjoy the summer sun, flowers and fruits ... but, summer, like everything else, doesn't last forever.

If summer was forever, all the energy and potential would reach its limits and inertia would set in. And so slowly but surely, the cycle turns; everything moves on. Everything has it's own time; it's own season.

Remember, the end of something good, means the start of something also good. All you have to do is be connected and in tune with the natural flow of natures energies.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Perform Daily To Inspire Others In Life !!

Consider yourself on the world stage and your every act will become special. 

Check all the actions that you perform throughout the day. Are your actions such that others will be inspired by you or are they just wasteful and ordinary? Make the practice firm, " I am on this world stage, each and every action that I perform is being watched by many and will inspire them." when you have this practice you will have attention on your actions and they will become special. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be The Leader And Make That Change !

The one who does not wait for others to change to bring a change in the self is the one who really brings benefit to others. Think of all the things you would like to change but are not able to. Now ask yourself why you are not able to bring about a change - is it because you are waiting for others to change before you change yourself. 

Take any one thing that you would like to change and tell yourself, " I will change and seeing me the others will change too. I am the leader who inspires others to change, I will not wait for others." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

The Positive Feel of "I CAN" takes You A Long Way Ahead...

Courage is a strength that comes from the core of your being; the strength that allows you to commit to life. 

It's the willingness to go beyond your current limits and say I CAN. 

To be successful is to be able to fly over the clouds of situations. 

When there is any obstacle that comes up in your way check if you are afraid of it or if you are able to see it only as an obstacle that you must overcome. Each day take a thought in your mind, "All these obstacles that I am faced with are like clouds that come in the journey of my life. I have to go on flying and not stop in the clouds of situations." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring Positive Thoughts And See The Change In Situation !!

Use the power of your thought and you will find negative situations changing into positive. 

When things are going wrong, check what kind of thoughts you are having - are your thoughts positive in spite of the negative situation or are they negative. The more you have negative thoughts, the situation will only worsen. When things are going wrong, take a thought that it is not the thing itself that is going wrong but it is your perception that makes it look negative. Also remind yourself that you have the power to transform negative into positive. When your thought changes the situation changes too. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Beautiful Positive Saying That Teaches A Lot !!

With habits, never give in or we lose our dignity. 

With the self, never give up or we lose our destiny. 

With others never give your worst or you will never develop your best. 

The saying, "What we give is what we receive". 

The lesson : Just to give. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make A List of Things That Make You Happy In A Day !!

Become a jewel of contentment and you will become a bestower. During the day, check if you were always able to remain content whatever the situations you were faced with. Also see if you were able to be a giver in all the situations or if you were expecting something from others. 

At the end of each day, make a list of all that you have attained during the day. Your list could include even little things that made you happy. This practice helps you see what you are attaining and you will become a giver. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Change Yourself First !

There is no greater teacher than one's own practical example. 

To be really benevolent therefore means that I must first change, then I have the power, the knowledge and the experience of thinking and doing for the ultimate benefit of all.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Become a true well-wisher !

Become a true well-wisher who transforms others' attitude with your good wishes. 

In your interactions throughout the day, check if your feelings towards someone are negative. Also check if you are expecting someone to change his or her attitude or behaviour. 

Tell yourself each day, "Just as a powerful bulb when switched on transforms darkness into light in a second, there's so much power in my good wishes that they can transform others' negative attitude into positive in one second." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Determination & Faith Leads To Happiness !

Determination brings the strength to continue, the steadiness to succeed, and the wisdom to slip past difficulties undisturbed. 

Where there is the faith that everything happens for the best, you will remain happy and cheerful. 

When things are going wrong, check your thoughts to see if there is any kind of fear or negative feeling. When there is either fear or disappointment you cannot remain happy. Each day pick out one thing that didn't happen in the right way and see what good has come from that. Make the practice in such a way that you will automatically see the good out of each and every situation. Even if you can't, there'll at least be the faith that things will turn out to be the best. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Happy & Enjoy The Magic of 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.
