Positive Thoughts Make Our Mind Contended !

To recognize the inner positivity is to be connected to our divinity. 


When we recognize that we are pure beings with a lot of positivity inside, we are able to tap that inner divinity that lies hidden. Negative experiences and influences do colour our inner divinity. But in fact, we would love to be connected to our inner divine virtues and experience positivity under all circumstances. 


Whatever I want is what I am. In all my interactions and connections I would love to experience feelings of peace, love and happiness more than anything else. And so that is what I am. When I am connected to what I really want, I am able to experience the divinity within. Whenever a negative experience takes me away from the real me, I just need to remind myself of who I really am and what I really want.

Break from the Past & Free Yourself !!

To pack up from the past is to finish the negative impact of the past. 

We usually find ourselves to be slaves of the past. The situation has occurred and has gone by but we are not able to forgive and forget the past. We continue to think about it again and again. This brings about the same feelings and experience of the past and we are simply caught up in it. We need to free our mind of the past. We need to see what we have learnt from the past situation, take that and be free from it. We need to forgive and forget. We can forget only when we forgive and we can forgive only when we learn. When we take the learning from every situation. We are able to be free from being a slave of the past.

Be Committed ... Be Positive !!

Commitment to the self means to have commitment to remove weaknesses.

Commitment for the self means to have the recognition of one's own weakness. It also means to have a clear vision for one's own progress and perfection. This will then create a powerful identity within which will enable us to do away with weaknesses. Let this day be committed for removing some weakness within myself that is creating an obstacle for others and myself. When I do this I will help myself and create a positive influence around. Then there will be only positive growth.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Stay Calm, Give Yourself Some Time !!

Some circumstances are just beyond your control. Often, all you can do is accept this fact, hang in there, stay calm and do your best.

Try to curb your expectations and be understanding of yourself and others. Everything else will work out in its own time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Interaction Helps Bring Confidence !

The one who knows the art of connecting to others is successful. 

We are normally good to people who are good to us. But when someone is not behaving well, we tend to change our attitude, our response and our behaviour towards that person. We wait for the other person to change, in order to change ourselves. So neither do we find change in others nor in ourselves. When we know the art of perceiving others’ specialities and connecting to them, we are always successful. We are then not dependent on the other person’s behaviour for our own growth. We are able to see each one’s positive aspect and take it in ourselves too. So we are richer with each interaction.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Cooperation Helps Get Bigger Goals ...!!

Trust wins cooperation. 

If there is the thought that we can do things ourselves without other people’s help, it means that we have arrogance of our own potential or we are not able to have trust for others. This lack of trust doesn’t allow us to use others. potential for the benefit of the task. So we are deprived of a very useful resource and we will not be able to be happy. We need to understand the fact that there is greater success in cooperation. It is much more useful to invest our time and resources in training and developing others’ potential. This brings about the best from people and so there is a greater contribution and hence greater success in every task that we take up.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Move One Step At A Time !!

Instead of changing many different things at once, make a small change and when you're comfortable with that change, move on to the next small change. Notice small improvements and bask in your inner appreciation. Your confidence will increase. If there's one or two slip ups, cut yourself some slack. Stay positive and get back on track. Also, have resolutions reminders. Then you'll be less likely to stray from them! 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Throw Away Anger & Ego To Move Towards Positivity !!

'I expect' is the great illusion, which converts itself into demanding rights without due respect for others. 

Anger in all its forms is a direct result of an expectation not being fulfilled and brings cries (although sometimes silent ones) of 'They should have done this', 'Why did this happen?' or 'Don't you know better?' Disappointment, accusations and demands are violent energies, which we throw around very naturally and easily in our daily life when our expectations are not fulfilled. They are like a burning fire that eats away at our original spiritual qualities, turning them to a dust that pollutes the self and others. 

Instead, let us continue to practice returning our thoughts to the self and remembering our original source of peace. In that experience of deep, natural peace, we will find balance and clarity and the ability to tolerate and adjust to the unexpected. 

One of the keys of meditation practice is to quickly gather our thought energy and take it inside to connect to our original qualities, no matter what may be happening outside, or even inside! 

Let me disconnect from the external and plug in to the internal energies that support me and then I will be able to say goodbye to anger very easily. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Commit To Tasks That Are Reasonable !!

Saying no isn't about refusing to do tasks. 

It's all about considering whether other people's demands on you are reasonable or not, as well as being reasonable with the demands you put on yourself. 

Be responsibly selfish! 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu.

Feel Love & Experience The Difference !!

Just as the bird has to let go of the branch in order to fly, in the same way we also need to let go to experience and express love. 

The branches we hold on to are our attachments (people and objects). When we mentally hold on to something or someone, we open ourselves to feel fear, pain, anger and possessiveness.

Love is about letting go and letting others be. It's about appreciating and accepting without dependency and expectation.

Powers That Recharge The Soul - Part 2

The Power to Discriminate

Like  the trained eye of a jeweller who discriminates the real from the  imitation, I can discriminate what is true and what is false.

The Power to Face

Nothing seems like an obstacle, but rather a stepping stone to victory. To lack this power means to be dominated by external dramas.

The Power to Cooperate

I do not feel like I am competing against anyone, but rather I am helping all. Here, the surrender of ego is needed.

The Power to Withdraw

I can withdraw from the organs of the body, and become the seed; detached, and the observer of this drama of life. Contentment comes.

Irritation and annoyance disappear, and nothing disturbs my light frame of mind. The fragrance of this power is attractive to all.

Like the ocean that merges all that flows into it, I merge all that happens; so past is past, and the future seems clear and bright.

The Power of Judgement

I can accurately assess any situation with clarity and confidence

Discover Yourself & Use your Brilliance !

We might not be brilliant at everything, but we have virtues and an inner brilliance. 

However, it's most most likely that these virtues are lying dormant, at the core of our being. 

Tap into your brilliance by creating time to discover and experience your virtues. 

Then develop your inner brilliance by activating and using your virtues in action. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Concentrate on Positive Thoughts & Feel the Change !!

When you choose to carry the past around, life weighs heavy. 

There's equally too much baggage when you hold on to the uncertainty of tomorrow.

To travel light and enjoy the journey, consolidate all that you've learned from the past and let the rest go. 

Then focus all your energy in the NOW.

Instead of beginning to change things and situations that are going wrong, I need to work at the seed, i.e my thoughts. 

I need to keep my thoughts positive under all circumstances, which will make my actions positive too and I slowly find things changing for the better. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Try to Find the Positiveness Around You !!

The positive is there, in everything. 

All you need to do is simply look for it!

In every person, the best is there; your opportunity is to recognize it. In every problem, the solution is there; your responsibility is to provide it. In every setback, the success is there; your adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, the reason is there; your challenge is to understand it.

Make it a goal this week is to find it. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Be Good & Connect With Life !!

Today, when human beings seek love, meaning and purpose, they first connect horizontally (with others) rather than vertically (with the Supreme Source). This leads to a greater loss of energy and eventually dissatisfaction and emptiness. 

The vertical connection liberates the self from becoming dependent on someone else and from having too many expectations. After the vertical connection, there can then be the horizontal connection with others, that is, with the outside or external. 

No matter how bad people may seem, they possess at least one virtue. 

Be like the humming bird and pick out the sweetness of everyone's character.

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Keep Flowing In Life & Enjoy The Adventures !!

Drops of water gather to become a small stream, 

the stream grows to become a river, 

the river passes through many stages, 

many obstacles, and yet it keeps on flowing. 

Life too flows like a river. 

And like the river, the purpose of life is the adventure of the journey, 

not the destination.

Erase the Need to Please Others.... !!

Erase the Need to Please Others. 

Are you a people pleaser in the workplace? If you are, you might be taking on more work than you should. You might also find yourself avoiding the hard conversations because you don't want to rock the boat. Imagine how different you'll be in the workplace, if you were to stop being a people pleaser?

Instead of expecting others to be the source of your self worth; take responsibility for how you feel, understand how you work best and recognise the value you bring to your work situation.  

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Keep Giving..... It Can Be Precious At Times ... !!!

Compared to the ocean, a single raindrop seems insignificant, ridiculously small and inconsequential. 

But in the thirsty desert, a single raindrop is precious, life-giving and vitally important. Is your world an ocean of peace or a desert? 

Even though you are only a single drop, every drop counts. To give something when and where it is needed is what really counts. 

~   Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu

Try to Get Solutions, Instead of Sitting On the Problems !

Stay in constant peace by becoming an embodiment of solutions. 

Situations do bring a lot of challenges for us, but where there is fear or worry while facing them, there cannot be peace. As long as we continue looking at the problem instead of searching for solutions we cannot remain in peace. Think of some problem that you are thinking a lot about. Now see if you can find a solution for it. If you feel you cannot, it is better to leave thinking about it rather than to worry about it. When you keep the mind free in this way, you will get the solutions automatically.
