True Freedom And Self Respect Is Necessary For Admirable Life And Future

Occasionally we forget how fortunate we are to have the freedom of choice: liberty to express our desires, choose our friends, clothes, religion, music, food, careers, partners..., while a significant part of our world is oblivious to the same. But are the rest of us really living a life of independence? Or does my mind suffocate at times with unproductive thinking? Can I select golden thoughts of positivity, inspiration, determination, love etc as I wish? True freedom and self-respect cannot be bestowed externally by God, fate or any human being. It begins with me liberating myself from unworthy thinking, thus empowering my words, actions and character for an admirable life and future.

Open Your Minds To A New Start !

A disappointment is never easy to surpass. I work hard towards a goal giving it all I have and still end up empty-handed. 'Where did I go wrong, what's the use of being diligent and conscientious? May be everything depends on luck, God didn't help me...' A vision that was initially strong and focused takes a sharp detour into the by-lanes of disheartened thinking. On the other hand, by looking at the situation with a calm, detached attitude, I can locate the faults or leakages. Even if my attempts were faultless, to refuse to learn from a set-back is a sign of ego. God helps me back on my feet when He sees that I haven't closed the doors of my mind to new experiences.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Intelligent Positive Thinking !

When my expectations for a task or another person are unfulfilled, I sometimes attribute it to my weaknesses or unworthiness. I may accept the disappointment and even forget the incident but sub-consciously allow it to hamper my self-respect. Ambitions or relationships are not appendages of my identity. They are vital in shaping my personality and taking me ahead, however I need to be prudent in not permitting them to distort how I see myself. Only my God knows me precisely for what I am and what I will be. With this faith and confidence, let me see every experience as a brick thrown towards me to build a strong foundation for my future.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Successful, Make a Difference with a Clear Mind !!!

* * * * * * * * M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S * * * * * * *

Accepting life as it is a multi-faceted concept. While it's good to accept circumstances and people as they are, it would be unwise to act out of blind faith or dejection: Either we say things will happen if God or destiny wills it, or that things are never going to improve so why bother.... Both perceptions spread a negative vibration. Acceptance means I don't confront a situation or person simply because things aren't to my liking, as this drains me of energy I could use to reform the problem. With a clear mind, heart open to the unexpected, and willingness to make a difference, I link myself to God and take His energy to be successful in my goals.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt.Abu.

Positive Enchanting Quote !

It's a wonder how God manages to be so enchanting since none of His uniqueness can be attributed to the parameters human beings normally associate with an attractive personality such as etiquette, education, fashion sense, social contacts etc. Though God's purity, wisdom, power, love... are intangible, when I am soul-consciousness I get exposed to God's unparalleled magnetism. The more I stay in this spiritual magnetic field, my mind and heart experience a slow but permanent change by appreciating myself and others for more than physical qualifications.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Power Of Silence !

Sometimes you are trying to remember something, its within your reach, on the tip of your tongue, but it is just isn't coming out. Everyone around is suggesting something or trying to help, but in reality not helping at all. You wish for a moment of silence, so that you can dive into your memory bank, for you know that is the only way you will be able to remember. This is the power of silence in action. Many, not recognizing its power, do not value it. They turn their heads away from the thought of a few moments of silence. They feel it a punishment.

When we find our thoughts moving in many directions because of external demands on our attention, we need to stop, take a rain check on everything and experience silence. This power of silence is essential when we want to plan for the future, we should silence unnecessary thoughts and think of a point in question. So when you get an opportunity of a moment's silence, don't waste that precious moment. Use it to store the strength within that is so necessary for dealing with the world without.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Discipline Your Mind For Positive Effect !

Am I comfortable with silence? Or does the mind get fidgety when I am physically silent and bring up questions and uncertainties related to my life and relationships? Silence to some is boring and unproductive but that depends on my thoughts. I have two magical tools in hand: the mind and intellect. When I teach both to work in synchrony, I create for myself unforgettable experiences of empowerment, love, wisdom, compassion, forgiveness, far-sightedness... In silence, I can detach from my body, task and relationships and see which next step would be beneficial for myself and others. The more I discipline the mind with love, it will become my closest friend.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Spread Love For Others !

Live in such a way that love informs every action! When we have learned to live like this, nothing will disturb us. Our contentment and good feelings towards others remain constant. We become free. The power to live like this comes from inside, not from outside. That is why we stay free, with no expectations from others, no frustrations. To live like this requires us the let go off certain beliefs and habits that drain us from this strength and interfere with our ability to love. Some times they become so deep-seated in us, that we are not aware of its presence.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Great Interesting Thoughts !

You live in a body and that has to be known, not physiologically, as a machine, but spiritually, as a temple. When you know it physiologically, you cure it with chemicals; when you know it spiritually you cure it with thought. And when its health is based on thought, it becomes a thought, it becomes a source of health to others - a refuge. When its health is based on medicine, it becomes an attraction to others and so a trap.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

A Thought Provoking Quote !

Who are you that lives in the body? You are a thinker, and what you think creates the atmosphere in the 'temple', and the atmosphere determines how much love there is in your life. A poor thinker in a smart machine attracts friendship with a motive; a rich thinker in a temple attracts love. And the love that you attract today is the foundation of your future, so though it is earned slowly, its depth is worth it.

Attractive Positive Statements !

When your thoughts are unusual and far-reaching, your body becomes the same. Arms move easily, the body ceases to be a machine which needs fixed things - it becomes alive as you are, for deep thought penetrates and changes even matter. To the point where consciously, you can invest virtue in your limbs and the work that they do, up to now a chore, will reach out and touch people. This is good administration, for then your heart isn't just pumping oxygen to the organs, it is drawing people together; your brain is not just sending messages to the limbs, but to other people.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Be Stronger From Within !

In life we get attracted and become attached to a particular object, person, relationship or situation. Attachment seems to be the normal state of our living experience. We seek it without a second thought. Is attachment a desirable state? When a person develops a strong attachment, he is likely to become sorrowful when the attachment is broken or diminished. His emotional and mental state suffers. The broken hearted, the vindictive behavior, the hatred, the jealousy and sometimes suicides are the result of broken attachments. It is a risky business to make the happiness of others our total happiness; to experience the difficulties of others as our difficulties. We should not build our life to such an extent around someone else's life or any object so that when anything goes wrong we cannot function or we fall apart. It is healthier, stronger and much more in wisdom to love everything and everybody, play our roles and perform our duties to the maximum with everybody and still remain detached. We will be able to provide more help to others when we ourselves are strong from within.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Mental Strength Is Important For Stability In Life !

Observe how easily the day would pass if you were able to move freely without being affected by the negative attitude of others. Imagine how much you can accomplish if you were able to remain constantly in a calm and peaceful state rather than fluctuating up one minute then down the next. Every time you lose happiness and go down, just see how much energy is needed to take yourself up again. If you learn to remain constant, not only is energy saved but you will find that your mental strength increases and of course with mental strength and stability come the development and maturity of character. Strength of character depends upon my ability to remain unaffected by adverse circumstances.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Intelligent Positive Words !

Many times I find that my words, actions or behavior tend to upset others inspite of my not wanting to hurt them. I seem to be very happy with the situation, but others don't seem to be. At that time I am not really able to understand the reason for this and I consider the others to be unreasonable. I need to check myself when others are getting upset with me. I need to make effort to check and change myself constantly so that I am able to move along with the demands of time. This is what will bring about true contentment - such contentment that neither will I be upset nor will I upset others.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Bring About Real Change By Learning From Your Mistakes !

From all that happens, there is usually a lot of learning from which we can take important lessons. But sometimes we find ourselves making the same mistakes again and again. So although we have understood we are not able to bring about real change. Once we realize and learn from a mistake that has happened, we need to spend some time in understanding it even further. We need to ensure we don't ever repeat the same mistake. This will enable us to bring about real change.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Work Enthusiastically To Achieve More !

It is usually believed that when we are content we finish the desire to achieve and so we find no improvement in our lives. On the contrary, we also find that where there is no contentment the mind is disturbed and we are not able to give our best to whatever we do. Whatever happens we need to retain the happiness within ourselves. This comes only when we are content with whatever is happening in our lives. When we create such an internal environment, we will be able to have the enthusiasm to achieve more and more.

~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Effective Positive Thoughts !

The soul needs strength to deal affectively with day to day situations, as demanding as they are, and yet be able to pack up useless thoughts; to be able to take time out for itself, to store the power of peace from the Ocean of Peace. If the soul does not recharge itself it will lose the courage and enthusiasm. We need the strength to continue the fight for right, even though the forces of wrong grow strong.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Team Work Is Essential For Bigger Success !

When given a responsibility I usually think of doing it alone. I usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. I normally do this in order to avoid the different kinds of personalities that I have to deal with. This attitude deprives me of others' support and cooperation. When involved in a big task, I need to see to it that I involve many. When I involve many and make sure I make use of their specialties, even the most difficult task will be made easy. Secondly, the good wishes of all involved will be for the task, which will add to its success.



~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.

Keep A Check On Yourself And Control Every Situation !

When things go wrong, the first thought is to control the situations or the people involved. But since neither the situations nor the people are in our hands, there is no success in controlling them. This only further increases the negativity. Instead of trying to control something that I have no control upon, I need to start with myself. The more I am able to keep a control on myself with constant attention, checking and changing, the more I will be able to have everything in control.
