Use Your Specialities To Improve Your Actions !

A single speciality can add beauty to every word and every act. Each and everyone have a unique speciality that is reflected in the actions from time to time. But the one who is aware of these specialities in a conscious way, is able to add quality and beauty to everything that is spoken or done. Nothing is waste or even ordinary but everythingbecomes special. As we have the constant aim of using our speciality in everything that we do, we are able to experience success both in what we do and also in all our relationships. We are able to make everything more meaningful and powerful. We are not caught up with the ordinariness or the negativity of the situation, but are able to enjoy the moment by colouring it with our own special quality.

Focus Attention On Self By Practicing Honesty !

To live with honesty is to learn constantly. The one who is honest practices the truth in daily life. Honesty enables to focus attention on the self instead of looking wastefully at others or their weaknesses. It enables to bring knowledge into practice. It enablesone to be free from excuses. Thus there is constant learning and constant change for the one who is honest. Where there is honesty we are free from feelings of laziness, fear or dependence. When we are honest 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.

Help Others With A Great Soul !

Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Have Self Respect And Take Responsibility For Your Actions !

The key to responsibility is self-respect. When anything goes wrong, an individual is not willing to take the responsibility for his own choice. Instead it becomes very convenient for him to blame others for the mistake. Lack of self-respect abstains one to take the responsibility for the choice that he has made. So his words and actions reflect excuses and justifications. When we have self-respect and are able to maintain our inner positive consciousness, we are able to continue having this consciousness wherever we are, and are able to feel the ease of accepting the consequences of our actions. We are able to learn from everything that happens in our life, having taken the responsibility of our actions.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Humility Is A Great Virtue !

Free yourself from forcing, expecting or wanting someone to receive what you think they should take - it could be your idea, opinion, or an opportunity you think they should accept - you can't make anyone take anything - your own experience probably confirms this. Offer humbly. Offer gently. Offer as if you are a master, and then let go, and retire like a shy child. When you can dance the dance between being master and child, you'll be surprised how much more others will accept what you have to say, and how much more they appreciate your offerings.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spread Love And Experience The Sweetness Of Relationships !

To have love is to fill words with sweetness. It is difficult, if not impossible, just to try and make the words sweet. Even with the greatest attention only an attempt could be made at a superficial level to make words really sweet. Real sweetness comes when there is love in the heart. This love enables one to be sweet in allinteractions. When we have love in our heart for others as well as for ourselves our feelings are always filled with good wishes. We will experience the inner sweetness, which then spreads around to others too. When we have good wishes we will be sweet in all our words. Thus we experience the sweetness of relationships.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Treasures For The Benefit Of All !!!

The one who brings benefit to each and everyone is a true benefactor. Each one has immense treasures that can be contributed to those around, but the one who is a benefactor surely finds reasons and excuses to use these treasures constantly for the benefit of all. True benefit lies in giving some or the other positive input to each and everyone who happens to come one's way. When we have the constant desire to bring benefit to everyone around us, we are naturally free from all kind of expectations. We don't expect others to change according to our needs and desires, but are able to bring about achange in ourselves according to the requirements of time. So we experience constant improvement.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

An Intelligent Thought !

Many believe it is ignorant to trust the innate goodness of human beings, because you will be taken for a ride. But won't this mistrust gradually affect my own character and perception of life? Is it worth being insecure at every step just because others are dishonest? It is only when I have unreasonable expectations of others that I get disappointed with their inability to reciprocate my love and trust. God loves me irrespective of whether I am worthy of His love. His faith in me is so pure and powerful that it transforms me. Let me give as God gives; let me trust as God trusts.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus Your Attention On Power And Divinity !

There are times when my mind faces inertia: it can either be that the fast speed of thoughts is tough to control, or there is a lack of enthusiasm to think new and differently. An efficient driver has good control over both the accelerator and brake. Similarly, my day runs smoothly when I can operate the mind and intellect to maneuver the flow of thoughts and generate productive thoughts as I wish. The best way to enhance my mind is to take few minutes out at regular intervals to clean out unnecessary and waste thoughts, and focus my attention on the Supreme Ocean of Power and Divinity.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Mind Positively !

Imagine owning the finest instrument in the world and not knowing how to maintain or operate it at its optimum? This is the irony we face with nature's most valuable gift: the mind. It is a fertile piece of land, which does not discriminate between good and bad seeds, or thoughts. Whatever I the soul sow (or think), the field of my mind will automatically nurture and reap fruit accordingly. Just as choosing a career is not taken lightly, when I value my thoughts and 'think' before I think I can save myself a lot of energy and time.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Connect Yourself With The Spiritual World !

Many of us don't like to be 'superstitious' but in some way or the other we all tend to believe in the influence of objects, omens, places or destiny... An intellectual mind usually discards such notions saying nothing external can really influence the human spirit. However, spirituality shows us a balanced approach: although nature and physical objects/places are inanimate, the thoughts and feelings experienced by human souls permeate the environment and remain. Since the relationship between soul and body is intimate and powerful, anything the body experiences (be it intake of food or contact with physical world) will affect the soul. If the environment I live in is physically and spiritually pure, it is easier for me to increase my soul power.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Shine With Your Inner Beauty !

Can I detach from the various personalities I play during the day (daughter, parent, boss, employee, student) and talk to myself one-on-one? Is it good enough to fulfill my daily responsibilities or do I value my spiritual self too? Sometimes I may avoid thinking about the inner self because it's a little scary to face my weaknesses and come to terms with not-so-good past actions. However, it's a fact that whatever is real and true lives on despite the amount of alloy mixed in or accumulated layers of dust. Would the world be just as beautiful if we had left all the impure gold or raw diamonds buried away? I must learn to value myself, an eternal spirit of divinity, and do all I can to make it glow...


~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Share Your Goodness With All !

Regardless of the existing splendor of the artificial modern world, we are genuinely impressed by anything that is natural, such as beauty of nature and its living creatures, wonders of the human body, amazing creative abilities of the human intellect etc. We tend to unknowingly connect or harmonize with people or things that mirror our qualities of peace, balance, stability or the values we aspire for. However, a piece of artistic beauty, place of entertainment or worship etc gives memorable but short-lived experiences. As my Supreme Parent and Companion, God alone can empower me with the will to actually live by these cherished values. When I give more time to contemplate on His greatness and purity, I develop the courage to unveil and share my own goodness with all.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Focus Your Energies On Your Goal !

While moving towards my destination, I tend to get distracted with even the little things that happen. Even a small negative or positive incident is enough to distract my thoughts from my destination. I am sometimes so busy with such things that my vision moves away from my destination and I stop moving forward. I need to first clarify my goal. Once I have done this, I need to take care that my vision is focused on it. Even when situations come by, trying to distract me I need to remind myself that these are only side-scenes which are not important for me. It is more important to keep my energies focused towards the goal.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Overcome Difficult Situations With Patience !

When difficult situations come our way, we tend to create a lot of waste questions in our mind. These waste questions only fill our mind with negativity draining us out of our energy. At that time, it seems natural to have such thoughts and we are caught up only with such thoughts, leaving no space for constructive thoughts. When difficult situations come our way, we need not be caught up with why it happened but we need to make effort to fly. We need to find a way to empower ourselves that we become stronger than the situation, so that we are able to fly above it. Then the situation would appear tiny and we would be able to overcome it in a second.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Use Your Specialities With Great Joy !

When a situation is good we are able to use our own specialties, but when the situation is not so good, we tend to come back to ordinary or waste. So we are constantly waiting for opportunities to reveal our own specialty and at other times being colored by the negativity or ordinariness of the situation. When we are aware of our own specialties in a conscious way, we are able to add quality and beauty to everything that we speak or do. Nothing of ours is then waste or even ordinary but everything we do becomes special. We are able to make everything more meaningful and powerful. We are not caught up with the ordinariness or the negativity of the situation, but are able to enjoy the moment by coloring it with our own special quality.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Meaningful Inspirational Quote !

We normally have a lot of desires and expectations from life itself. We want something or the other and when we don't get them we tend to have negative feelings. Sometimes these feelings turn to feelings of inferiority too. So even good things are hidden from our vision. When we recognise our own talents and gifts that life has bestowed on us, we are able to recognise what we deserve rather than what we desire. We are able to use our resources to attain what we desire. We then do not feel what we lack but are more connected with what we have and how we have to use what we have.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Intelligent Positive thoughts !

We are well aware of the physical resources that we have and make use of them too. But we become a little careless about the resource of time. We normally believe that to use time well means to plan the day well and work according to the plan, and we somehow manage to do that to a great extent. Yet there is a large amount of time going waste too. To use the resource of time well is to be aware of where we are investing it. When we are investing time in creating only positive thoughts, sweet or beneficial words and useful actions, we are able to find a lot of time being saved. And we are sure to get the best out of this investment too. We find ourselves getting good returns out of everything that we do.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Important Values In Life !

Every human life has meaning because of the value that he is able to add to everything that he does and every relationship of his. Values are the natural power of good within each one of us. Values form the basis of our relationships and growth. We enrich our own lives and the lives of those around us when values come into play. Focusing on these positive qualities/values helps us to transform old attitudes, to gain fresh perspectives and find unexpected answers. They free our path from obstacles and make clear life's opportunities.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Admire God’s Lovely Creation !

The vast, abundant nature has an amazing ability to refresh our minds and hearts, doesn't it? Quite often it reminds us to marvel at God and His creation. But aren't we human beings God's greatest creation? If the inanimate, idyllic nature is powerful enough to touch our souls and make us lighter and more content, what can I not do? When others look at me, are they reminded of God's beauty and qualities? Let my personality be balanced and serene so that my presence comforts souls and elevates their consciousness.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
