Know Others By Their Goodness, Not By Weaknesses !

Do you mentally keep a note of others' weaknesses and flaws? Does it become the basis on how you relate to them? 

How about giving this a try :

• Realise that if you keep others' weaknesses in your mind, those weaknesses soon become part of you.

• Recognise that all humans, despite their flaws have an innate goodness within them.

• Decide to see the best and draw the best out of others.

• Re-contextualise the other person by mentally noting at least one of their good qualities.

Learn To Remove That Anger Within Us !

If we think, speak and act in an angry way, we leave an impression or memory of anger within our own consciousness which results in sanskara of anger to be born.

Within the sanskara is the recorded emotion and experience of our expression towards the object of our anger. The object is a particular person or situation. If we encounter the object of our anger the next day, it will trigger the emergence the recorded anger from within the sanskara. We then deepen the sanskara as we express more anger, even if we only 'think' anger. The emergence of this emotional energy from within our consciousness then stops us from interacting in a positive way. It clouds our mind and confuses our intellect, weakening and distorting our thoughts, decisions and behaviour. This often explains why we find it harder to connect and communicate with certain people in our life. Essentially we are carrying a negative image of the other person within our sanskara from a previous interaction with them. And when we see them again it emerges the energy within the sanskara, which then influences our ability to respond to them.

Carry Out Every Action With Careful Consideration !

Perform every action after careful consideration of the past experience, present situation and the future consequence and you will be successful. At the end of each day, in all the situations that you have faced and in all the decisions you have taken check if there were any feelings of regret, repentance or any other waste thoughts. When the action is performed after careful consideration, there will be no waste thoughts. Before you make every major decision, make sure you do it after careful consideration. Let there be the practice of spending time and thoughts before the action than wasting time and thoughts by regretting after the action has already been performed. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Effective Meditation Helps To Be Positive In Outer World !!

Effective meditation means to gather the positive resources of the inner self and then use them in the outer world. 

It is important to remain neither too much inside, nor too much outside, but constantly to create a balance between the inner and outer realities. Meditation resembles the cyclic path of energy: going from the inside out and then from the outside in, gathering information, or experiences that we need to reflect on, or understand better. On other occasions, it may be a question of recharging our minds with positivity and peace: we go inside and, with the practice of silence, the battery becomes re-energized.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Take a thought each day that you have to be a giver. In order to be a giver, continue to fill your own treasure store. Keep filling yourself with all that you are getting throughout the day. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

 

 

Create Your Own Space To Move Towards Positiveness !

Keep Your Treasures Increasing !!!

Keep giving others and you'll find your treasures increasing. In your interactions with others during the day, check if you are expecting anything from others in any way. Your expectations could include physical help or understanding from others. Also check if you are able to give others without expecting. Tell yourself that to give means to take because when you give happiness or love you get the same. If you want to take, you'll only find yourself disappointed, because others are expecting from you too. But when you give, you find your own treasures multiplying. 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

 

 

Stop complaining about your circumstances !!

It’s extremely rare to find a successful person who whines, complains, and frets about his circumstances. This is despite the fact that he may have overcome great obstacles to achieve his level of success. On the other hand, it’s extremely common for struggling individuals to continually blame their circumstances for their lack of joy and happiness. 

The real question is: what came first – the attitude or the success? The answer, in virtually all cases, is that the winning, positive attitude came first, followed by a lifetime of success.

All it takes is a simple decision; the decision to stop yourself from falling into the habit of complaining about your circumstances. At first it may be difficult – even funny – to observe how often you complain. 

Habits can be hard to break. But in this case, it’s well worth the effort. As an excuse of complaint comes to mind, gently shoo it away. Don’t worry about it too much. You’ll quickly get used to the nicer feelings that come from a life without complaints.

This practice enables you to be happy with what you have and also work with renewed enthusiasm for the next day which finishes your negativity.

then it is dangerous to propagate a pessimistic philosophy.

~   Helen Keller

Although the world is full of suffering,

it is full also of the overcoming of it.

that it may prevail.

~   Helen Keller

If I am happy in spite of my deprivations,

if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith,

Meditation - The Third Eye !!

Meditation gives me a discerning eye - an ability to discriminate between truth and falsehood. It does this by helping me maintain a consciousness that helps me rise above competing claims to truth – the different ideologies and opinions, reasons and analyses, justifications and stories related to a situation - which can be so confusing. 

Meditation opens my third eye, the eye of pure consciousness. When I look at the world through this eye, truth is not just an intellectual idea, but an experience of the heart. When I think and act in ways that maintain and deepen this experience of truth, I know I am moving in the right direction.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring The Change Within Yourself !!

Instead of waiting for things to change, you create a stage that will help change things. 

Check if you are using words like, 'when things change for the better, I'll change too... I am just waiting for the things to get better...' If you are using such words, it means you are letting the situation control you. 

Each day tell yourself, 'I have full control of the situations around me. It is when I change that things around me will change too and I definitely have the power to change things around me.' 

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
