Daily Positive Thoughts: September 13, 2013: Kindness

Kindness

Great souls take advantage of every moment and every opportunity to give happiness to others through kindness in their thoughts; such souls are willing to overlook weaknesses and mistakes and have the desire to help everyone reach their potential.

Relationship

A relationship is like a tapestry. The fabric is strongest where the
threads that hold it together are spun of openness, love and trust.

Absorbing Spiritual Light (cont.)

How many times do we hear phrases like - Oh, he is always in a bad mood... or It is my nature to be irritable... or He will never change..., etc. This shows the extent to which the soul's own light has faded and been replaced by the dark curtain of negativity. Therefore it is better that we do not try to deal with each vice and defect individually. As the soul fills itself with the power of spirituality, its overall condition automatically improves.

Another significant point is that there is a deep-rooted awareness within the soul of God and His sanskars, however much it may be covered by dirt and weakness. This is because each soul is the child of God and being his children we inherit his sanskars. These sanskars are present in us when we start playing our part in the physical world, but gradually they fade away as we take more and more births. As these sanskars are brought to the surface of the consciousness, automatically our thoughts and behavior patterns change.

In modern psychology it is stated that we must express all our negative emotions and note suppress them. But the fact is that letting it out leads the soul further into slavery to that emotion. Remembering that thoughts, decisions and actions are formed on the basis of sanskars, which are deepened by repetition, the soul can only cause harm by expressing any defect or vice. On the other hand, the psychological effect of suppressing negative emotions can be quite drastic. Suppression can lead to severe personality problems, even madness or insanity. The right path is that we emerge our positive sanskars with the help of meditation and other self-development techniques and the negative ones automatically vanish away.

Soul Sustenance

Understanding The Mechanism Of The Virtue Of Peace (Part 3)
To experience the eternal peace of the soul world, I do the simple exercise explained yesterday and then go a step further. Having created the thought about myself that I am a sparkling star-like energy at the centre of the forehead, just above the eyebrows, visualized it and as a result experienced it, now my objective is visualizing my star like form in the soul world. With this objective in mind, I now create a simple thought that I the star-like energy will make a short journey to the soul world and back. So I create simple thoughts and visualize alongside that I, the soul am leaving my physical body and flying outside. Then I, see my star like form, slowly fly past the ceiling of the room I am in and see myself suspended in the sky (night sky makes the visualization more easy). I see myself as a point of radiant light high above many many buildings and lights. This is similar to what one would see from an aeroplane window while landing or taking off. I then see my light form going higher, past the atmosphere and going past a sea of stars and a few planets and the moon. I then take this visualization further and see myself entering the soul world, a region of soft orange-red light (this is similar to how it looks like at dusk). This region is multidimensional and unlimited in size or expanse. I see my star-like form suspended in this region, radiating rays of peace in all directions. I also see other white/golden star-like souls just like me in the same region. I spend some time in this region, in this experience. In this region my thoughts stop completely and I am only visualizing.

This is the eternal peace experienced whilst visualizing the spiritual self in the soul world. The peace experienced in this exercise is greater than in the exercise mentioned yesterday. Thus the sanskara of peace created in the soul in this exercise is deeper. After a few minutes of this experience, I see myself descending in the physical body in exactly the same way as I flew to the soul world. This is just a visualization exercise or experience and the soul does not actually leave the body and go anywhere. The two practical exercises explained in yesterday's and today's message can be used to experience the two types of peace mentioned. At one time, you can choose to either experience both types or only the first one. You can start with a few minutes and increase the time gradually. Continuous practice will create stronger sanskaras of peace and take you closer to your original state of peace.
Message for the day

Even the most difficult task is made easy with the cooperation of all.

Projection: When given a responsibility we usually think of doing it alone. We usually feel it is much easier not to involve many. We do this in order to avoid the different kinds of personalities that we have to deal with.

Solution: When involved in a big task, we need to see to it that we involve many. When we involve many and make sure we make use of their specialities 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.

Essence: Sweet children, one drop of knowledge is to consider yourself to be a soul and to remember the Father. With this one drop, you can attain liberation and liberation-in-life.

Question: In which effort is progress for oneself and others merged?

Answer: 1) The effort to stay in remembrance. It is in this that progress for oneself and others is merged. When you children sit in remembrance, it is as though you are giving others a donation of peace.

2) Stop talking of body conscious and worldly things and speak of spiritual things and you will continue to make progress. You have to show (reveal) the Father. To the extent that you reveal the Father and show everyone the path to peace and happiness, to that extent you will receive a reward.

Song: You are the Ocean of Love. We thirst for one drops. (Tu pyar ka sagar hai teri ek boond ke pyaase hum)

Essence for dharna:

1. Together with the Father, donate peace to the whole world. Become a remover of sorrow and a bestower of happiness, the same as the Father.2. Have full love for the one Father. Don't speak of body-conscious things among yourselves. Only speak of spiritual things.

Blessing: May you be a Godly helper (Khudaai khidmatgar)and by being in the combined form, experience God's (Khuda’s) magic in service.

Do not consider yourself to be just a server, but serve while considering yourself to be a Godly server. With this awareness, remembrance and service will automatically be combined. When you separate Khuda (God) from khidmat (service), then, because you become alone, the destination of success seems far away. Therefore, do not consider yourself to just be a helper, but that you are a helper of God. Constantly remember this name and service will be filled with God's magic and the impossible will become possible.

Slogan: In order to be a karma yogi, be seated on the lotus-scat (be loving and detached).

वरदान:- कम्बाइन्ड रूपधारी बन सेवा में खुदाई जादू का अनुभव करने वाले खुदाई खिदमतगार भव

स्वयं को सिर्फ सेवाधारी नहीं लेकिन ईश्वरीय सेवाधारी समझकर सेवा करो | इस स्मृति से याद और सेवा स्वतः कम्बाइन्ड हो जायेगी | जब खुदा को खिदमत से जुदा कर देते हो तो अकेले होने के कारण सफलता की मंजिल दूर दिखाई देती है इसलिए सिर्फ खिदमतगार नहीं, लेकिन खुदाई खिदमतगार हूँ – यह नाम सदा याद रहे तो स्वतः खुदाई जादू भर जायेगा और असम्भव भी सम्भव हो जायेगा |

स्लोगन:- कर्मयोगी बनना है तो आसनधारी (न्यारे और प्यारे) बनो |

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 12, 2013: Forgive

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 12, 2013: Forgive

A walrus asleep on a Russian Army Submarine

Forgive

To tolerate mistakes is one thing. To forgive is even greater.

Spiritual personality

Your physical identity is a world of limited thoughts, feelings and
roles. It is quite apart from the being of inner peace and power that
is your spiritual personality.

Absorbing Spiritual Light

Just as darkness is the absence of light, negativity which manifests as vices and weaknesses inside us is merely the absence of spiritual light. Through the influence of negativity, the sense organs waste away the light. The question of vice, or sin, has been of a lot of importance in religion. No matter how much political or religious control has been imposed, nothing has been able to block the internal wasting away of the light of the soul. Light has a source but darkness does not. Darkness is not created by any source but is rather the absence of a source. In the same way, the negative forces do not emerge from the real nature of the self, but are simply symptoms of a lack of spiritual power or light. As spiritual power declines, symptoms of negativity such as anger, greed, ego, attachment, hatred, jealousy and related vices appear. On the other hand, as the soul's power and spiritual light increases through a union (meditation) with the Supreme, the vices automatically disappear. In fact problems are not fundamentally caused by a particular vice, it is a question of the extent of one's power. If I am weak, the sanskars mostly related to vices dominate my experience. If I am strong they do not have a chance to affect me.

The negative forces have often been personified as Ravana, Maya or Satan but in fact there is no such entity. Maya describes a level of consciousness. There is no outside being whom we can blame. The vices are symptoms of individual ignorance and loss of power, which appeared only when our original creative powers subsided as we came into the process of birth and rebirth. When the soul's power fell below the level necessary to control matter and the senses; then the vices emerged inside the soul. The soul was more and more propelled by them through many births, until today when they appear to be a basic part of our real nature.

Soul Sustenance

Understanding The Mechanism Of The Virtue Of Peace (Part 2)

Yesterday we have explained how the virtue of peace works in human souls through the cycle of life. In today's message we explain (with reference to yesterday’s message) how we can experience our original state of peace experienced during the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle. Tomorrow we shall explain how we can experience the eternal peace of the soul world. To have both these experiences, the basic principle that I need to remember is that to experience peace, I need to concentrate on it – concentration means creating thoughts about it and visualizing it at the same time. Secondly to access peace, I need to separate myself from my body and surroundings. So how do I bring these two principles in practice?

The first chapter of the Rajyoga meditation course as taught by the Brahma Kumaris in each of its centers states a simple fact and makes me realize it that I am not this body but I am an eternal soul, a non-physical star like spiritual energy, situated at the centre of the forehead, just above the eyebrows, the original nature of which is peace. The body is my vehicle. Now, to experience the peace experienced during the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle, my mind picks the above fact or wisdom from my intellect, which is a reservoir of spiritual knowledge and where the above fact is stored. Then, my intellect, which possesses the decision making ability judges the thought as to whether it is a right or wrong one. If my intellect is convinced about the fact, it judges the thought as right. Next, I take this process further. Along with creating this thought I visualize this thought on the screen of my mind i.e. see my star-like white/golden light form just above the eyebrows radiating white/golden rays of peace in all directions. I do this exercise for a few minutes. This exercise then leads me to an experience of peace, as a result of which a sanskara of peace is created. This is the peace experienced whilst visualizing the spiritual self inside the body – it is the peace experienced in the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle.
Message for the day

To understand that each one is unique is to have respect.

Projection: We usually expect others to change according to our expectations. We actually want everyone to get moulded according to our own value system. But it doesn't happen so because each one is different.

Solution: We need to understand that each one is unique with their own specialities. When we look at others in this way we will no longer expect others to change according to our wish but will have full respect for them.
