^{Daily Positive Thoughts: August 7, 2013: Lightness}

Lightness

Move through life with lightness, touching the hearts of others without leaving a mark.

Use the weapon of knowledge instead of using anger, which is the weapon of ignorance.

When something goes wrong check if you think first and act in the situation or just react immediately and repent later. Also check the reason why you generally seem to be getting angry. Once you have discovered the general cause of your anger, practice each day in such a way that you can accept things as they are. When you understand why things are happening the way they do, you can stop yourself from using anger as a weapon.

Connecting to the Qualities of Others

Meditation adds immense value and depth to my relationships. It also brings closeness in them. Many obstacles and barriers, both on a physical as well as a subtle level, come between me and others when my consciousness and as a result, my perception are struck primarily in the physical dimension. If I hardly know five to ten per cent of myself, and that too mostly on the surface, my relationships are going to be similarly superficial. With my self-respect built on very weak foundations, it will tend to be delicate and I'll be prone to trying to maintain it by thinking about and focusing my energies on others' weaknesses, sometimes real and sometimes even imagined. I'll also find it hard to realize and appreciate their qualities. Such is the state of so many human relationships today.

In meditation, I go into the depths of myself, and deep within my inner being, I find the beauty of peace, love and happiness that is there inside me. I also realize that this same beauty lies inside each soul. Then naturally and very easily, without any effort, I get connected to the same qualities in others. I also find the strength to do the same. I am no longer judgemental seeing others' temporary sanskaras of negativity. I find qualities that are basically there inside every soul: the original qualities or 'sanskaras' of each spiritual being. It's like a basic prototype for the whole of humanity, which I deeply see and realize.

Meditation on Experiencing Deep Peace
Consider your mind as a stage, and each thought, feeling, emotion as a scene in the film of your life... Relax... Don't try to control anything... Observe how your thoughts pass through your mind... Don't identify with any of them... Only observe... Look where they take you... Observe what happens inside you... Do not judge... The thoughts flow through your mind as if they were clouds that are crossing the sky until everything is clear and open... The mind is becoming calm, making itself peaceful... like the surface of the sea when it is serene...

Now, be conscious of the sounds that are produced around you... Stay here and now as an observer who sees and feels everything from a point of light, a point of calm and peace, behind these eyes... Feel the calm... the tranquility... that comes from within you... Look around you... Observe without interpreting or judging... Feel the silence that is created through the power of concentration. Consciously, create a positive, peaceful, elevated thought that you repeat slowly in your mind, leaving a space of silence between one thought and another, while you keep the focus on that point...

I am a being of peace... I am at peace... I feel the peace... I am light... I am a being of light... My nature is of light... peace and silence... I am feeling the silence between one thought and the next... I listen to the peace... a silent peace... calmed... full... This peace and silence attracts the ocean of peace... I feel the attraction towards my home of silence and peace... a world full of soft golden light, beyond the sun, moon and stars… In this peace and silence, I strengthen myself... my mind rests in that calm and quietness...

I experience a light, the Supreme Light, the Supreme Soul who fills me... he recharges me... renews me... heals me... frees me... I am free... completely free... now I am at peace... I leave my mind in silence, as if I were floating on a sea of peace for a few minutes...

Message for the day

To make our promise practical is to benefit at each step
Projection: Sometimes we make a lot of promises to ourselves and to others. At such times we are very confident of what we are saying but later find that our promise doesn't come into action. So that promise gets wasted as we don't take benefit from the intensity of that moment.

Solution: When we make a promise to bring about a change in ourselves we need to immediately make a practical plan that will help us make the promise real. We also need to make sure we understand why fulfilling that promise is important for us. Along with this we also need to remind ourselves again and again about it till it becomes practical.

Points to Churn from the Murli of August 04, 2013 (Revised 5-2-1977)

Praise of Baba:

The Ocean of Knowledge, the Incorporeal Purifier, the Supreme Father, and the Supreme Soul Shiv Baba is.... 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: (continued...)

1. We, the souls, understand the significance of everything (raaz yukt) and are essence-full (saar yukt)....by being essence-full, we change the expansion of waste into essence in a second and enable others to do the same....

Just as the Father is a Power House, we are sub-stations... we are instruments to make other souls ascend by spreading powerful vibrations in the atmosphere...by not becoming disheartened or careless in transforming any sanskar or nature, we remain tireless in easily making our own effort...we pay attention and check ourselves, and in the upheaval of any adverse situation, keep our fuse in order, never get confused, and cross them with zeal and enthusiasm with the power to face...

2. We, the souls, brimming with happiness, are master teachers, equal to the Father... by taking the responsibility of bringing benefit to many souls, we become servers, the same as the Father... by having a plain intellect at amrit vela, we get touchings of plans from BapDada, constantly create new plans without taking support of anything corporeal, and inspire many souls to have zeal and enthusiasm... we are inventors, creators and those who have planning intellects, who let all specialities emerge and all limited aspects merge...

We are teachers with the speciality of being embodiments of experience, speaking on the basis of our experience... we remember the Father, consider greatness to be the Father’s property and interact with all this greatness (mahaanta) as our guest (mehmaan)..

ॐ शान्ति दिव्य फरिश्ते !!!

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.

Song: Tumhare bulane ko; तुम्हारे बुलाने को...The heart desires to call you...

06-08-2013:

Essence: Sweet children, in order to be saved from the deep suffering of Maya, take asylum with the Father. By taking asylum with God, you will be liberated from the bondage of Maya for 21 births.

Question: By making which effort do you children become worthy of worship and worthy of being in a temple?

Answer: In order to become worthy of worship and seated in a temple, make effort to save yourselves from evil spirits. No evil spirit should ever enter you. When you see an evil spirit in anyone, when someone is getting angry or influenced by attachment, step away from that person. Promise yourself that you will remain pure. Tie a true rakhi.

Song: The heart desires to call out to You.
Essence for dharna:
1. Follow shrimat and do the service of making impure human beings into pure deities. Become a full helper of the Father.
2. Swallow all the knowledge of the Ocean of Knowledge. Burn away your sins with remembrance of the Father and become a conqueror of sinful actions.
Blessing: May you be free from worry and perform every task skilfully and successfully as a karma yogi.

Some children have the worry of earning and looking after their families, but those who worry can never be successful in earning an income. Stop worrying and do everything as a karma yogi, for wherever there is yoga, any task will be skilfully and successfully accomplished. If you earn money with worry, it will only create more worry, whereas if you earn happily while being yogyukt, it will bring happiness because as the seed, so will be the fruit that emerges from it.

Slogan: Become a holy swan that constantly picks up pearls of virtues and not pebbles and stones.

मुरली सार:-``मीठे बच्चे - माया की पीड़ा से बचने के लिए बाप की शरण में आ जाओ, ईश्वर की शरण में आने से 21 जन्म के लिए माया के बंधन से छूट जायेंगे''

प्रश्न:- तुम बच्चे किस पुरूषार्थ से मन्दिर लायक पूज्यनीय बन जाते हो?

उत्तर:-मन्दिर लायक पूज्यनीय बनने के लिए भूतों से बचने का पुरूषार्थ करो। कभी भी किसी भूत की प्रवेशता नहीं होनी चाहिए। जब किसी में भूत देखो, कोई क्रोध करता है या मोह के वश हो जाता है तो उससे किनारा कर लो। पवित्र रहने की स्वयं से प्रतिज्ञा करो। सच्ची-सच्ची राखी बांधो।

गीत:-तुम्हारे बुलाने को जी चाहता है.....

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार :-
1. श्रीमत पर पतित मनुष्यों को पावन देवता बनाने की सेवा करनी है। बाप का पूरा-पूरा मददगार बनना है।
2. ज्ञान सागर का सारा ज्ञान हप करना है। बाप की याद से विकर्मों को दग्ध कर विकर्माजीत बनना है।

वरदान:-कर्मयोगी बन हर कार्य को कुशलता और सफलता पूर्वक करने वाले चिंतामुक्त भव

कई बच्चों को कमाने की, परिवार को पालने की चिंता रहती है लेकिन चिंता वाला कभी कमाई में सफल नहीं हो सकता। चिंता को छोड़कर कर्मयोगी बन काम करो तो जहाँ योग है वहाँ कोई भी कार्य कुशलता और सफलता पूर्वक सम्पन्न होगा। अगर चिंता से कमाया हुआ पैसा आयेगा भी तो चिंता ही पैदा करेगा, और योगयुक्त बन खुशी-खुशी से कमाया हुआ पैसा खुशी दिलायेगा क्योंकि जैसा बीज होगा वैसा ही फल निकलेगा।

स्लोगन:-सदा गुण रूपी मोती ग्रहण करने वाले होलीहंस बनो, कंकड़ पत्थर लेने वाले नहीं।

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 6, 2013: Positive Attitude

Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse, Holland

Positive Attitude

Your attitude creates an atmosphere around you. Your attitude is the result of the way you think and feel. You communicate your attitude. Create a positive attitude, filled with good feelings, and even just your presence will do wonders in situations.

Glass half full:

We can rant on and continue to complain and criticise throughout the day. However, if everything appears negative, maybe it's our perception.

We can always find positivity in everything, if we choose to look for it. So, let's cultivate the art of seeing the glass as half full.

Meditation In Action (cont.)

The churning over of points of knowledge throughout our active hours strengthens and maintains the meditative state of mind.

There are five basic points to churn over. We had discussed two yesterday. The remaining three are given below. Create your own thought commentaries around each point.

What Is My True Religion?

No matter how much surrounding turmoil there may be, I can remember that my true religion is peace and purity. I am not a Hindu, a Buddhist or Christian, I am a peaceful soul. Just as people do not want to convert from their religions, I resist any attempt to pull me away from my true religion of peace and purity.

Where And What Is My Home?

Just as people love their homeland, I can have the same natural love for my original home, the soul world. At the same time I can be aware of my original form of light and power. In this way I can cross any situation that comes in front of me. I am also aware that I have soon to return home and so I must settle all my karmic accounts.
How Is This World a Drama?

With the consciousness of the eternal world cycle, I can see my role and the roles of others in a perfect and unlimited drama. Even though others and I are playing parts, we are separate from the roles. Now that I know the Director (Supreme Soul) and story of the whole drama from a spiritual perspective, there is no point in getting upset over tiny little scenes. I know that in the beginning of the drama when I had come on this world stage from the soul world, I was full of peace, love, purity and happiness and so now I can re-emerge the sanskaras that I had in the beginning.

Applying The Law Of Balance To Anger (Part 2)
Yesterday we had explained how the law of balance can be applied to anger on a smaller level. The same law can also be applied on a larger level. Each time a group of people transmit the negative energy of anger physically to another group of people - at that time, either:

a) one party is disturbing the balance temporarily, which will be restored sometime in the future, by the second party indulging in similar behavior, or
b) balance is being restored at the present moment (because negative energy had been transmitted from the opposite party to the first party sometime in the past). This balancing must take place, because it's an unbreakable law. This is the law of balance.

This law that does not need to be enforced by us, the police or even by God. It is a natural law like other laws of nature. It gets enforced itself and cannot be broken by anyone. Understanding that this law is embedded in the human state of affairs at all times makes us careful and detached so that we don’t hurt ourselves with violent, toxic thoughts, when someone acts negatively. We create these kinds of thoughts because we believe this is revenge that is justified. Also, knowing that anger that is radiated comes back doesn't mean we don’t have any laws within society – they are required, but it helps us not to take the law into our own hands. We cannot force justice to take place before its fixed time. We cannot force the balancing of energies of anger. If we trying doing it, it is being egoistic and we only upset the balance of our energies as a result. Even to criticize those who try to take the law into their own hands is to take the law into our hands.

Message for the day

The way to get blessings is to be open to learning.
Projection: We do get both negative and positive situations in our life. When we are faced with negative situations we usually expect blessings from God or someone great by which the negativity in our life will fully finish. But it doesn't usually happen so.

Solution: The method to receive blessings is to go on learning from the experiences of life. To learn means never to repeat mistakes by learning from whatever has happened. This learning acts as a lift for us, which takes us forward.
