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.

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.

Encourage & Help Others To Be Positive !!

When someone's feeling low, you can help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and what makes them special. 

Increase their self value by letting your vision be drawn to the diamonds (their specialities), 

rather than any stones (their defects).

Take a gentle encouraging approach and never give up on anyone. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Giving Regular Cleansing To Your Mind !!

The mind is constantly processing thoughts and emotions. And that's why a regular mind cleanser is so important.

Today, free the mind from past hurts and worries that continue to live with you.

Make time to clear out cynical and critical thinking.

 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Influence & Inspire Others with Positive Talks !

In our relationships with others, it is good to want the best: "I hope you do very well, I  am sending you my positive energy and this is my way of encouraging you and giving you courage. However, if you don't achieve what I think you are capable of, I will not feel frustrated. I will not be dependent on you satisfying my expectations, but I will always want the best for you." 

If you have faith and confidence that something will happen, it is a prophecy that must come  true. The expectations we have of someone, whether negative or positive, do have an effect on the person we are relating to. 

Many investigations into this question confirm the influence that the expectations of educators have, both in the performance and in the behaviour of their students. Everything points to the conclusion that the teacher's expectations form one of the most influential factors in the academic performance of their students. If a teacher expects good results from their students, their performance will be much closer to their real capacity than if their teacher is expecting poor results. 



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Overcome & Control Your Weakness !!

The way to overcome your weakness is to feel that the weakness is not yours. 

Check what weakness within you is not enabling you to attain success in the way you want to. Also check how many times during the day you have felt caught up with that weakness. See yourself in your perfect form and let there be the thought in your mind that the weakness is not yours and you are the one who has developed it in yourself. This thought helps you to gain mastery over that weakness and gives you the control to overcome it. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Peace & Silence To Overcome Anger and Stay Positive !!

In its original form, anger was not anger, not a negative reaction; rather it was the energy of a positive response to people and situations, but the response gradually changed to reaction. When we return to our spiritual identity, we begin to rediscover that capacity to be still, stable or centered, and we are they able to respond positively even to negative situations, or people. With spiritual consciousness, the energy of this negative reaction is transformed into being able to accept, understand and deal wisely and peacefully with whoever, or whatever, is encountered. 

In order to extinguish (overcome) anger, one has to use peace and silence, to understand that peace is the original state of one's being; to remember that 'I am a peaceful being' means to emerge the consciousness of non-violence. 

Silence, that is learning to put a brake on the mind and tongue, helps us to think before speaking and, as a result, saves us from many confrontations with others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Help Others & That Will Make Your Life More Peaceful !!

To receive a chance to serve means to accumulate your account of blessings thereby guaranteeing your progress. 

In all that you do for others, check if you are able to feel satisfied. Also check if there is any kind of expectation either for recognition or for facilities for the help that you have given. Each day make a list for yourself of the things that you are doing that you feel is bringing benefit to others. Also make sure you realize in your mind that you are doing it for the sake of bringing benefit and not out of expectations. This will ensure everyone's blessings for you. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Give Yourself Time To Judge Others !!

When we become slower to judge, 

we become open to understanding the other person's inner concerns. 

When we see the inner need behind the other person's expression, we're able to speak to what is in their heart.

Sometimes without saying a word, we're able to communicate more through our eyes, with a smile, through facial expressions, a gesture, or our posture ... 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Make Efforts & Value Your Progress !!

Become the ones who make efforts continuously and experience constant self-progress. 

Check if there is any doubt within you whether you'll succeed or not. If there is any such doubt it means that your effort is not continuous. Where there is constant effort you experience constant progress. Each day remind yourself of at least one thing that you have achieved for the day. When you make a habit in this way, you will be able to notice and experience the fruit of the effort that you put in.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Think Positive & Move Ahead In Life !

Be enthusiastic and make the best use of your fortune. 

When things go wrong, check if you ever have the thought, "It's my fate that is stopping me from progressing." If there is any such thought you are stopping your progress. Each day start the day with a thought, "I will make the best use of everything that comes my way. The future is in my hands and I will make the best use of the present to make the best fortune for myself." 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn To Put A Full-Stop !

You can remain stable when you learn to apply a full-stop. 

In any difficult situation, check if you are having thoughts like, "why do things happen with me like this or why is this person behaving in this way" etc. you can never remain stable when you have such questions. Tell yourself that it is much easier to put a full-stop(.) than putting a question mark(?). understand the difference between worrying and finding solutions and worrying. If there is a solution, find it, if there isn't let things take care of themselves and put a full-stop. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Deal With The First Negative Thought & Things Will Be Simple !

Thoughts are like ants. 

When one comes, a whole troop arrives. 

One thought can multiply in a matter of seconds, and then suddenly an army of negative thoughts is on the march.

What are you going to do, to stop the invasion?

Have one determined thought to transform 

a negative thought into a positive one. 

It's easier to win when you deal with only 1 or 2 thoughts. Don't let the negative thoughts multiply - have zero tolerance for their presence, even if it's just for a few minutes. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Learn How to Fill Your Intellect & Stay Healthy !

Continuously fill your intellect with good things and it will be empty of waste. 

Each day check how much of good things you are giving your intellect as food. Also check if you find yourself thinking of waste, of things that are not necessary. Each day take out some time for yourself and make it a point to read and think of good things. When you continue to fill your intellect with good food in this way, there will no place for anything waste and it will remain healthy. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
