My Baba...Sweet Baba...Lovely Baba...Kind-hearted Baba...Compassionate Baba...the True Father...the True Teacher...the Unlimited Father... the Almighty Authority...the Truth, the Living Being, the Blissful One and the Seed... the Bestower of Salvation... Knowledge-full...

Points of Self-Respect and Soul Study:

Knowledge: We, the souls, are Godly students who receive the third eye of knowledge from Shiv Baba, the Bestower of Divine vision.....we learn Raja Yoga from the Blissful Father, the Ocean of Knowledge and the Ocean of Bliss, pay full attention to our study, receive the imperishable jewels of knowledge, become master knowledge-full and then become the masters of heaven through the Father...

Yog: We, the incorporeal souls, are the Godly children who belong to the Father with our head in our hand (with that regard) in this final birth in which we have died alive...we attain liberation and liberation-in-life in one second, become worthy of receiving the souvenir of sovereignty and paradise in the palms of our hands ...

Dharna: We, the souls, with faith in the intellect, give our full news to the Father, and take directions from the Karankaravanhar (one who inspires) Father at every step and become worthy...we become the conquerors of Maya who transfer our old bags and baggage to Shiv Baba, the altruistic number one Trustee and receive everything new in the golden age...

We do not see the weaknesses of anyone, make our connection with Shiv Baba, and consider the shrimat we receive from Baba to be right and continue to follow it...we become very sweet, transform from shells to diamonds, become egoless like the Father, the Lord of the Poor, and become the masters of paradise...

Service: Those who are bestowers, are the first to reach...Those who give a handful receive a palace in return...We, the souls, are the very true spiritual Salvation Army who insure body, mind and wealth in the service of the Insurance Magnate...

Blessing: We, the souls, are beyond waste thoughts and the embodiments of success... we keep all service in front of the Father and surrender to the Father with our intellect ...we do not have any consciousness of “I”, and remain constantly carefree and successful...
Slogan: We, the souls, light our lamps with the oil of knowledge, burn Ravan and celebrate Deepavali...we are the ignited lamps that come to intense light from the depths of darkness, and get transferred from the kingdom of Ravan to the kingdom of Rama... we make the home of our body pure, our thoughts, intellect, eyes and mouth spiritual and pure...we clean every physical organ and light the lamp (Deepak) of the soul...with our Deepak sparkling constantly, we celebrate the spiritual Diwali...by making the home of our body a temple, we make the world a living temple, the residence of living deities...we are the temples of the living saligram, the temples of the living shakti, and the temple of the one who destroys evil... we check our marks in each subject in our register and realize ourselves...whatever we have heard, whatever we have attained, whatever activities we saw of the Father, we merge within ourselves...we keep our qualifications according to our aim of our present confluence-aged angelic form and our future deity form... we are the lights of the Brahmin clan, the Brahmins and so deities, who understand through signals...
In the Milan of April 05, 2013, Bapdada said:
“Whatever weakness you have, you definitely have to renounce it. Is it firm that you have to renounce it? So whatever thought you have this season should not just be a thought, but you definitely have to do it. No matter what happens, you definitely have to change. Have this determined thought. Ultimately, you have to bring the time close.”
So, let us cremate our old sanskars. (Sanskar ka sanskar karo) Not just to suppress them, but to completely burn them, so there is no trace or progeny left. Check and change now. Have volcanic yoga ( Jwala swaroop) We have time until the next Milan in October . Let us work on one each day with the following

In the daily murlis, Bapdada gives vardaan to the entire Brahmin family spread all over the world. Baba also remarked in the murli, dated 7-1-2012 that serviceable children will make cartoons after listening to the murli. Visualization makes remembrance of the blessing throughout the day easier and thus makes it more fruitful.
10-05-2013:
Essence: Sweet children, Shiv Baba is the altruistic number one Trustee. Transfer your old bags and baggage to Him and you will receive everything new in the golden age.

Question: Which children does the Father have to take care of in every way?

Answer: The Father is very concerned that the children have faith in their intellect and give their full news to the Father and take directions from the Father at every step. Baba says: Sweet children, you must never have doubts about shrimat. If you have doubts, Maya will cause great harm. She will not allow you to become worthy.

Song: Dar pe aaye hai kasam le... दरपे आये हैंकसम ले ... I have come to your doorstep having taken an oath...

Essence for dharna:
1. Do not see the weaknesses of anyone. Make a connection with one Shiv Baba. Consider the shrimat you receive from Baba to be right and continue to follow it. Never have doubts about shrimat.
2. Fully insure your body, mind and wealth. Take shrimat at every step. Pay full attention to the study.
Blessing: May you remain carefree and become an embodiment of success by surrendering service to the Father with your intellect.
No matter how difficult any service is, surrender that service to the Father with your intellect. Do not have any consciousness of “I”, such as “I did this and was not successful.” It is the Father’s service and He will definitely do it. Keep it in front of the Father and you will remain constantly carefree and also be successful. Never sow any seeds of weak thoughts. Do not think that you are doing service and are not receiving the Father’s help and that perhaps you are not worthy. That is a waste thought and it distances success from you.

Slogan: Only those whose lamps of awareness are constantly ignited can become the lamps of the Brahmin clan.
10-05-2013:
मुरली सार:-''मीठे बच्चे-शिवबाबा निष्काम नम्बरवन ट्रस्टी है, उसे तुम अपना पुराना बैग-बैगेज ट्रान्सफर कर दो तो सतयुग में तुम्हें सब नया मिल जायेगा''

प्रश्न:-बाप को किन बच्चों की हर प्रकार से सम्भाल करनी पड़ती है?

उत्तर:-जो निश्चयबुद्धि बन अपना पूरा-पूरा समाचार बाप को देते हैं, बाप से हर कदम पर डायरेक्शन लेते हैं-ऐसे बच्चों का बाप को बहुत ख्याल रहता है। बाबा कहते-मीठे बच्चे, कभी भी श्रीमत में संशय नहीं आना चाहिए। संशय में आया तो माया बहुत नुकसान कर देगी। तुम्हें लायक बनने नहीं देगी।

गीत:-दर पर आये हैं....

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार:-
1)
किसी का भी अवगुण नहीं देखना है। एक शिवबाबा से कनेक्शन रख उनकी जो श्रीमत मिलती है उसे राइट समझ चलते रहना है। श्रीमत में कभी संशय नहीं उठाना है।
2)
अपने तन-मन-धन को पूरा इन्श्योर करना है। कदम-कदम पर श्रीमत लेनी है। पढ़ाई पर भी पूरा ध्यान देना है।

वरदान:-सेवा को बाप के आगे बुद्धि से अर्पण कर स्वयं निश्चिंत रहने वाले सफलता स्वरूप भव

कोई कैसी भी मुश्किल सेवा हो लेकिन उस सेवा को बाप के आगे बुद्धि से अर्पण कर दो। मैंने किया, सफलता नहीं हुई, यह मैं-पन नहीं लाओ। बाप की सेवा है, बाप अवश्य करेगा, बाप को आगे रखो तो सदा निश्चिंत रहेंगे और सफलता भी मिलेगी। कभी कमजोर संकल्प का बीज नहीं डालो, यह नहीं सोचो कि सेवा तो कर रहे हैं लेकिन बाप की मदद तो मिलती नहीं, शायद मैं योग्य नहीं हूँ, यह भी व्यर्थ संकल्प हैं जो सफलता को दूर कर देते हैं।

स्लोगन:-ब्राह्मण कुल के दीपक वही बन सकते जिनके स्मृति की ज्योति सदा जगी हुई है।

Daily Positive Thoughts: May10 , 2013: Role Play

Daily Positive Thoughts: May 10 , 2013



Role Play

Shakespeare was absolutely right - all the world's a stage and you are on it! It means we all have many roles to play. That means never identify with your role, or you will get very stuck and very stressed. You are not what you do. Your job, position, vocation are just roles. Play the role, never think you are the role - this is the art of making life creative and fun. All great actors dislike being typecast and seen to be good for one particular type of character or role. There is no role you cannot play, if you really want to play it. Which is the same as saying there is nothing you cannot do, if you really want to do it, nothing you cannot be, if you really want to be it. You can even be a Queen or King. You may not have a throne or a court of advisors, but you can create and express all the qualities and behaviours of a 'royal' character- dignity, respect, humility, caring...and many more. Be a 'royal', sit on your inner throne with dignity and self respect, and you will see many other royal qualities emerge through your character. And then...you will feel royal.


Regard for others brings trust.
When something negative happens, my trust in people breaks. I then
find it difficult to keep my mind free from the influence of my past
experience. Even if the others try to correct the situation, I am not
able to change my attitude towards them. When I see others, I have to
see them with a vision of regard. I need to pay attention only to look
at their specialities and keep myself free from the influence of the
past experiences. When I do this, I will be able to trust others even
while being cautious.


Meditating With Open Eyes


It is advised to practice meditation with eyes open. When we sit to meditate, if we close our eyes, what we do is that we send a signal to our mind, intellect and our physical body that sleep is close and that signal, in turn, induces sleep. That is the last thing we want to induce inside ourselves, while meditating. Meditation is a way to wake up and stay awake, not only physically, but in terms of being conscious and alert about what is happening internallyand externally. It is therefore good to practice with eyes open, so that during your meditation, you can become used to going beyond the physical inputs of what you see, hear, feel and smell and at the same time, remain exposed to these inputs.

By practicing with open or semi-open eyes, it becomes easier to create the accurate state of consciousness while still being faintly aware of our surroundings. This will be essential in day to day activities when we want to stay connected to our inner peace while others around us may not necessarily be very peaceful. It will also help us to move deeply into our peaceful consciousness during conversations which at the same time, require alertness to go into the depth of ideas and concepts. When we are established in our peaceful, spiritual state (as a result of meditating), it is as if we are keeping our third eye, the eye of our intellect, open, which gives us the ability to see, in actions and interactions, what is true and false, and to make the right decisions without being influenced by others or our own emotions. All the above abilities are required many times during the day. We obviously can't keep closing our eyes to meditate each time any of these abilities are required.



Soul Sustenance

Becoming Aware Of What Is Ego


All of us are familiar, to different extents, with the emotion of ego. All of us don’t even define it in the same way. We are also aware to different extents, about the negative repercussions (effects) of the emotion of ego on us and on others. Depending on how aware we are about the effects, we work to eradicate the emotion from our daily lives, so that it neither disturbs us nor others. Some of us even consider it a positive emotion and feel it contributes positively to our personal and professional progress. To be aware completely of the negative effects of ego and to realize clearly whether it is a positive emotion or not in the first place, it is important to first become aware of what it is exactly. So, how can we define ‘ego’?

Ego is attachment, inside my consciousness, to an incorrect image of my‘self’ which I then mistake for myself. When the attachment takes place, you lose your sense of ‘identity’ in the 'image' of the object of attachment which you create on the screen of your mind. That object can be something physical like your body, your physical personality, a relationship, a material possession, your status, money, a particular skill, respect from others, etc. or something non-physical like a belief; an opinion; a mindset, a memory, a particular virtue, specialty, power or a sanskara (positive or negative), etc. Therefore ego is the self attaching to and identifying with an image that is not the self. This process takes place entirely within our consciousness many times in the day, on the screen of the mind. E.g. When we say this is ‘my’ salary package (something physical) or ‘my’ opinion (something non-physical), we are (without being aware about it) creating an image of the salary package or the opinion inside our consciousness and becoming attached to it, so that we lose our self identity in the salary package or the opinion, believing that ‘I’am the ‘salary package’ or the ‘opinion’. So at that time, the salary package or the opinion becomes an incorrect image of the self to which I am attached. This is ego. If while thinking, feeling or speaking about ‘my’ salary package or ‘my’ opinion, we do not become attached to or do not lose our self identity in either of the two, then that is not ego.
Message for the day

True help is to help people discover their own specialities.


Expression: When others' negativities or weaknesses are perceived, it is essential to look at their positivity or specialities too. This will naturally bring love and positivity in the relationship and there will be an encouragement of that positivity. So even if that person has no recognition or has not been using his speciality, an encouragement of it by others will naturally enable him to begin to use it.

Experience: Making others aware of their specialities and subtly encouraging them to use these specialities is a great help that I can do for others. When I am able to give this unique help and cooperation, I not only find benefit for others, but I am also able to get the good wishes of others. Even others naturally become positive with my positive attitude.
