Daily Positive Thoughts: May 27, 2014: Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Rather than being quick to judge, be quick to forgive.

Creator of Thoughts

The one who recognizes his innermost potential of being a creator is
always powerful. When there is this thought always in the mind,
situations don't influence negatively. On the other hand, there is the
ability to be an influence on the situations themselves. The right
kinds of thoughts, when created, create the right kind of feelings and
personality too. When I am a creator of my own thoughts, I am able to
be free from acquired influences. I am thus able to experience my
innate feelings, which brings out my innate personality too. I am able
to experience my true inner personality, however challenging the
situations may be. I experience the energy that creates to be a
master.

Different Thought Types - cont.

We had explained Necessary Thoughts yesterday. Today we explain:

Waste Thoughts

Waste thoughts are thoughts that are produced at untimely moments that fill us with worry and anxiety when they appear in our minds. They have no constructive use. Unnecessary and useless thoughts are quick and repetitive which lead you nowhere. Often they refer to things from the past:

* If this hadn't happened ...
* Why did she have to say that to me?

Too many thoughts are about things that we cannot change, or worries about the future:

* What will happen tomorrow?
* How will it happen?
* What will I do if I find myself on my own?
* If I had been there at the time, this disaster would not have happened.
* If I had had this information at the time, I would have won the case.
* When I get the degree, I will be more respected by my superiors.

Your ability to concentrate is weakened by these useless thoughts. If you have a lot of these thoughts you use more energy and time to undertake each task. The origins of negativity also reside in them.

From the time that the past has already passed and the future is yet to come, these kinds of thoughts are not useful and they also weaken your inner strength and exhaust you. It is vital that we learn to avoid this pattern of thinking. In this way you will be more focused and your decision making capacity will improve.

Meditation On Experiencing My Original Loveful Nature



I sit in silence, letting my thoughts go away from the outer world... I allow my mind to relax... to calm down... I focus my attention on the heart of my being... My heart is like a sacred silent place where I can feel what I really am... I am peaceful and light... a loving soul... strong... secure... kind...
I have many virtues and qualities that I can share with others... Now my attention is going towards the quality of love... I imagine love like a seed in my heart waiting to awaken... grow... and blossom... like a rose... For this, I only have to accept... believe... feel... that I am a soul full of love... child of the Ocean of Love… I am a spiritual rose flower... radiating the spiritual fragrance of love…

Letting go of the past... letting go of expectations... fears... negative feelings... forgiving... opening my heart... feeling that it is cleansed and this energy of love is as pure as the clean water flowing from a waterfall. Nothing and nobody have touched it... this is a love that asks for nothing in exchange... the love of a clean heart is unselfish... free of ego and expectations... It makes truth and sincerity grow... acceptance and understanding... I open my heart completely to love... I inhale deeply... I visualize my heart filling itself with this energy of pure love... I exhale slowly... and I visualize radiating this light of love from the deepest part of my heart towards the world... I am a beautiful soul of light radiating peace and love... I am love... I love myself and accept myself and others...

Message for the day

True help is to appreciate the efforts of each one to improve themselves.

Expression: Not realizing that all are making effort to bring improvement in themselves at their own level, we tend to point out people's mistakes only to prove them wrong. It is by proving them wrong that we want to prove ourselves right. This doesn't help others in any way to bring a change in them.

Experience: We need to focus more on the potential and unique specialities of those around us, rather than on their faults. This will help us to appreciate the effort that each one is making to bring improvement in himself. Then we find that even the corrections we give are effective, as they are more for the benefit of the other person. This is the real help we can give to others.

Daily Positive Thoughts: May 26, 2014: Wellbeing

Daily Positive Thoughts: May 26, 2014: Wellbeing

The more I develop the habit of noticing goodness, the more my own sense of wellbeing rises.

Inner Light

Instead of thinking about others and their weaknesses the one who is
concerned with his own self-progress is able to keep himself free from
negativity. So such a person is able to express his own inner
qualities and specialties without being coloured by the negativity of
the external situations and people. When I am focused on my own inner
progress, I am able to become as beautiful and clear as a diamond. The
sparkle of my inner light naturally spreads around and I become a
source of inspiration for those around. I appreciate what I have and
thus am also able to appreciate others' specialties too.

 

Different Thought Types

By understanding each one of the thoughts that the mind creates we can keep the beneficial thoughts and discard those which are useless or harmful. Today we explain:

Necessary Thoughts

Necessary thoughts are those relating to your daily routine, such as,

* What am I going to have for dinner?
* What time am I picking up the children from school?
* What is the number of my bank account?
* What have I got to do today .... etc.?

They are also thoughts connected with your profession or job. These necessary thoughts related to your daily life come into your mind according to your responsibilities and needs at a more physical, material and professional level. When these thoughts are repeated over and over again, they become unnecessary or waste thoughts.

Instruments/Tools To Perceive God
Perhaps I have been avoiding coming close to God because of the extraordinary confusion surrounding the subject. Maybe I have just lacked the tools with which to be able to discover God. The whole universe of things going on within a tiny drop of blood can be instantly revealed by the use of a tool or an instrument like the microscope. In the same way, the secrets behind realities of the self, the non-physical, spiritual self and the reality of God remain hidden until undiscovered by the appropriate instruments or tools. With which tools or instruments then, can I perceive or experience God? Since God is non-physical, the tools would also definitely be non-physical in nature.

That I haven't been able to understand myself is amply demonstrated by the periods of confusion and inner turmoil I go through. Sometimes I don't understand those with whom I share the same room or house, let alone my neighbors next door! The word ‘misunderstanding’ occurs frequently even in the closest of my relationships. It indicates that the quality of my mind, consciousness or even conscience hasn't been sufficiently clear to establish real rapport between myself and others. The realization and experience of God remain even further out of reach.


There's a very specific methodology involved in firstly understanding and organizing myself, and from that, coming to terms with God. I already have the most powerful of all instruments, the energy of my own mind, to work with. The extent to which I am able to research into the subject of God-realization depends on the quality of my thoughts and feelings.

Message for the day

Success comes to the one who is able to involve others and work as a team.

Expression: Because of having a feeling that the more the people involved, the more difficult the task becomes, we tend to avoid involving others in any task that we take up. We tend to do everything on our own, making us lose out on useful resources that we can get as others' contribution.

Experience: As much as possible we need to involve others in such a way that they make a valuable contribution to the task that we have undertaken. We are doubly benefited with this. Firstly, we will gain from the others' resources. We also find that the good wishes of others are there for the task for which they have contributed and we find ourselves succeeding.

Synopsis: Avyakt Murli of January 07, 1978‏

Synopsis: January 07, 1978

 

The Meeting of the Foreign Children with the Foreign Father

 

 

 

To maintain happiness:  Constantly sing: I have attained what I wanted to attain.   By this, you will not experience any confusion or unhappiness, that is, you will become Maya proof.

 

 

Maya:  At the confluence age, you are given the blessing  of remaining immortal  and safe  from  Maya.   In the future, you  have the  blessing of having no untimely death.   Those who have received the blessing of being immortal cannot be shaken by Maya.  It is no small thing to receive a blessing from the Father! When the Satguru Himself gives you a blessing, there should be so much intoxication!

 

Challenge Maya to come to you so that you can bid her farewell.   If you are afraid of her she takes on a fearsome form.  When you are not afraid of her she salutes you.  Maya is just a paper tiger. Although she adopts a fearsome form, she is powerless.   If you become afraid on seeing the external form, you fail.  Remain stable in the stage of a master almighty authority.  A master almighty authority is a victorious jewel.   Maintain the stage of being knowledge-full and you will never be deceived.

 

 

 

Victory : Keep the elevated aim of being a victorious one of the previous cycle and you will remain so constantly.   You will then always experience yourself to be a victorious jewel. Each jewel is very valuable, but you haven't  brought your own value on to the stage as yet.  Simply put on the costume of renunciation and tapasya and come on to the stage.   Victory will then become the garland around your neck. 

 

 

Being Bodiless: Just as you remove physical clothes, so you also have to remove the costume of body consciousness in a second.  You should be able to adopt it when you want and become detached from it when you want.  However, you will only have this practice when you do not have bondages of any type.   If there is any bondage of the thoughts in your mind, you will not be able to become detached.   When there is attachment in your thoughts, words, deeds or relationships, you are unable to become detached.  As soon as you have the thought, you should become bodiless.  You will then claim a scholarship on the basis of this practice.

 

 

 

Being Unshakeable: The two words "Why?" and "What?" are the reasons for your attitude causing mischief.  These two words bring upheaval whereas the one term "nothing new” makes you unshakeable

 

 

 

Prize: Be ever ready, not just ready. People should be able to have a glimpse of the imperishable happiness, supersensuous joy and peace in  you souls. The faces of all of you should  become a mirror to show them the property you have attained from the Father. Those who do such service receive a prize of special marks from BapDada.  Reveal yourselves  to the world and give the Father's introduction.    By doing such service, you receive extra marks. Good wishes definitely bear fruit.

 

 

 

Plan: At this time, the Kumbhakarnas are in a deep sleep.  It should be such that, as soon as they come in front of you, they should feel that they have to awaken and become similar to you.   Even against their conscious wish, everyone’s attention should be drawn to your sound.
