Contemplation: March 27, 2020: Greater Success in Cooperation
Greater Success in Cooperation
If you think you can do something alone, either because you don't trust others to do it or because you feel you are the most qualified… you will always be busy doing eveything, …you will be unhappy with others because they are not doing what you want, …you will be dissatisfied. It is more effective to invest your time in training and developing others. There is greater success in cooperation.
To be fortunate means to do everything with love.
Life gives opportunities constantly to express my qualities or to gain new skills. When I understand this, there is no effort in doing things. Each and every action is done with love. Such a person is truly fortunate, because where there is love, everything becomes easy. No new challenge or demand from the external situation is seen as a threat. It, in fact, becomes an opportunity to express my qualities or discover new qualities from within me. Today I will move forward with courage. Whatever situations life brings me, I am going to welcome them with love. I will deal with all those situations with the right spirit. With love I find things becoming easy. I also win the good wishes of others, helping me to move forward with more ease.
Dancing To God’s Flute Tune (Part 3)
A very significant aspect of a life in which you begin your day with the words of God, the flute of knowledge, is the close bonding with a knowledgeful Father, the Supreme Soul and not only the Father as an ocean of peace, love and joy, the experience of which is an inclusive aspect of meditation. Whereas meditation will fill the soul with virtues and powers, the flute of knowledge or gyan murlifulfills the desire of the soul for spiritual wisdom, which it has carried with it in every birth in the latter part of the world drama, since it came under the influence of spiritual ignorance. Also, as shown in the Mahabharat, another scripture in which the incorporeal point of light has been depicted mistakenly in the form of a physical Krishna; the ones with whom God remained as a companion, the 5 Pandavs i.e. who were few as compared to the 100 Kauravs; but became victorious because they received the knowledge that God possessed. This knowledge has also been shown in the form of weapons like theswadarshan chakra, which is a symbol of the knowledge of the self and its complete role in the world drama and also as arrows which destroyed the weaknesses inside the soul.
The above depiction in the Mahabharat and the other depictions of Krishnain the Gita and Bhagavat are symbolic in nature and not historic or factual, which represent events which happened when the Supreme being of light, God came down on the planet Earth to take his children, the human souls, back to the soul world (the home of all souls), which exists beyond the physical world of 5 elements, from where the souls come down in the world during each repetition of the world drama. Whereas the Mahabharat represents the war between virtues and weaknesses and God as a source of support to help us fight the war, the Gita throws light on the versions of knowledge received from God by us and the Bhagavat explains the various personality traits of God as an innocent, playful entity and his relationship with us, his soul-beloveds or gopis. All three scriptures are a remembrance of the present time when God, the non-physical spiritual Father, is with us.

The Law of Belief
Beliefs are concepts that you consider real and true, and you do not question them, even though they have no logical explanation. If we believe in something strongly, if we think that we can achieve something, then we will. What we believe will come true.
We can classify beliefs into five groups:
Beliefs about defects and weaknesses: These beliefs produce thoughts in our consciousness like: I am no good, I cannot do this, I am useless, I won't manage to complete it.
Beliefs of survival: These beliefs produce thoughts such as: Life is short. Get whatever you can at any cost whenever you can. Life’s decisions are taken based on these beliefs without taking into the account the repercussions (effects) they may have on our health, our relationships and our future.
Beliefs that create blocks: When we label someone, we are no longer open to try and understand them. For example: My boss is really egoistic.This type of belief blocks the flow of our positive energy and stops us from connecting openly with these people.
Beliefs that strengthen the self: For example: I am capable, I can do it, There is nothing I cannot be or do if I really want to, I will overcome the difficulties and meet the challenge.
True beliefs about ourselves: They are connected to eternal certain truths, such as: I am a spiritual being, I am eternal. God is my spiritual father.
To assure us that a belief is true, we must first believe in it. Then we check it in our consciousness and if a belief is true it will become an experience. If this does not happen, we are doing something wrong or this belief is not correct.

Message for the day
To accept advice is to ensure self-progress.
Expression: The natural state of the self is to ensure progress. Everything that is done by the self is for its progress. But the one who rejects advice rejects the progress of the self. To accept advice means to take the chance for whatever benefit that comes my way.
Experience: When someone corrects me or gives me an advice or suggestion, if I accept it in the right spirit, I'll constantly learn from it. This will enable me to experience constant progress. I am also naturally able to give regard to everyone I come into contact with and remain in constant happiness.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
