Essence: Sweet children, the Benefactor Father is now benefiting you in such a way that you never have to cry. To cry is a sign of loss and body consciousness.
Question: By knowing what is fixed in destiny must you always remain carefree ?
Answer: You know that this old world is definitely to be destroyed. Although people continue to make effort for peace, human beings want one thing and something else happens. No matter how much they try, this destiny cannot be prevented. There have to be natural calamities. You have the intoxication that you have taken God’s lap. All the visions that you have bad are to happen in a practical way. You therefore remain constantly carefree.
Essence for Dharna:
1. While performing actions for the livelihood of your body, practice remaining soul conscious. Under no circumstances must you cry or become body conscious.
2. Benefit yourself and others by following shrimat. Become worthy and glorify the Father's name.
Blessing: May you be full of the treasure of happiness and with your cheerful face be loved by God !
BapDada gave each of you the biggest treasure of happiness as soon as you took your Brahmin birth. This is the gift of the Brahmin birth. BapDada wishes to see the face of every child happy. A constantly cheerful face is loved by God and everyone also likes that type of face. In order to remain constantly happy, continue to sing the song: I have attained that which I wanted to attain. What else remains? Speak with intoxication: If I don’t remain happy, then who will?
Slogan: Those who remain stable in the incorporeal and egoless stage and brighten the world are living lamps.

सार :-मीठे बच्चे कल्याणकारी बाप अभी तुम्हारा ऐसा कल्याण कर देते हैं जो कभी रोना पड़े, रोना अकल्याण वा देह-अभिमान की निशानी है |
प्रश्न:- किस अटल भावी को जानते हुए तुम्हें सदा निश्चिंत रहना है ?
उत्तर:- तुम जानते हो कि इस पुरानी दुनिया का विनाश अवश्य होना है। भल पीस के लिए प्रयास करते रहते हैं लेकिन नर चाहत कुछ और ...... कितना भी कोशिश करें यह भावी टल नहीं सकती। नैचुरल केलेमिटीज़ आदि भी होनी हैं। तुम्हें नशा है कि हमने ईश्वरीय गोद ली है, जो साक्षात्कार किये हैं, वह सब प्रैक्टिकल में होना ही है, इसलिए तुम सदा निश्चिंत रहते हो।
धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार :-
1. शरीर निर्वाह अर्थ काम करते देही-अभिमानी रहने का अभ्यास करना है। किसी भी परिस्थिति में रोना वा देह-अभिमान में नहीं आना है।
2.
श्रीमत पर अपना और दूसरों का कल्याण करना है। सपूत बन बाप का नाम बाला करना है।
वरदान:- अपने हर्षित चेहरे द्वारा प्रभू पसन्द बनने वाले खुशियों के खजाने से संपन्न भव !
बापदादा ने ब्राह्मण जन्म होते ही सबको खुशी का बड़े से बड़ा खजाना दिया है, यह ब्राह्मण जन्म की गिफ्ट है। बापदादा हर बच्चे का चेहरा सदा खुश देखना चाहते हैं। सदा हर्षित, चेयरफुल चेहरा ही प्रभू पसन्द है और हर एक को भी यही पसन्द आता है। सदा खुश रहने के लिए यही गीत गाते रहो कि "पाना था सो पा लिया", काम बाकी क्या रहा। नशे से कहो कि हम खुश नहीं रहेंगे तो कौन रहेगा !
स्लोगन:- निराकारी, निरंहकारी स्थिति में स्थित रहकर, विश्व को प्रकाशित करने वाले ही चैतन्य दीपक हैं।

Daily Positive Thoughts: December 16, 2013: Letting Go

Daily Positive Thoughts: December 16, 2013: Letting Go

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Letting Go

Whatever has happened is the past. Do not think about the past. Learn from whatever has happened in the past and be cautious in the future. The past belongs to the past. Let me let go of it, because it does not belong to me.
Clarity of Thought
Meditation assists in developing the habit of thinking positive that
enhances ones clarity of thought at all times and hence the ability to
make continuously, instantaneous and authentic decisions. Having good
judgmental powers through clarity of thought, we become more aware of
our roles and responsibilities and become more focused on our aims and
objectives. This is mainly because meditation teaches one to imbibe and
inculcate good values and to keep away from being influenced by
undesirable company. They are able to neutralize and diffuse
potentially volatile situations into laughable ones instead of getting
paranoid.
A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith In Critical Situations (cont.)

Having accepted the reality that negative situations in our mind, body, wealth or relationships will arise in our life from time to time (explained yesterday), a question arises what kind of consciousness do I keep in these kind of situations and how do I ensure that the situation does not overpower my consciousness. Because only a powerful consciousness of faith or victory will keep me protected from the negative emotional (internal) and physical (external) influence of these problems but will also become the most important influencing factor which will help me in overcoming the problem and going towards the solution or attracting it towards me, sometimes immediately and sometimes slowly, but steadily, without losing my inner stability during the period that I wait for the solution to arise.

What is a powerful consciousness of faith when faced with a negative situation?"No negative scene or situation of any type in my life lasts forever and this scene shall also pass and I shall emerge victorious over it using the power of thought, the power of positivity, the power of spiritual knowledge, the power of meditation. Victory is my birthright and it is dead certain."This is in short a powerful consciousness of faith.

In tomorrow's message, we shall explain what is preventing us from keeping this consciousness of faith and how we can maintain it in critical situations.
Soul Sustenance
Does Greed Fulfill?

The false intention and assumption behind greed, in the form of a thought and feeling, is 'the more I have, the more I am'. It is a combination of trying to add to the value of the self through material possessions, position, role, talent or achievements and then becoming attached to these as a form of identity, finally leading to personal collapse. To try to add to the sense of self in this way has the effect of diverting oneself from the real self, which is why, in many cases, a person who has everything material is left with the feeling of being empty, disorientated and even fearful.


We cannot accumulate, or rely on the external, to create a sense of personal value.


People often try to fill the void of personal inadequacy or emptiness through greed, but this 'method' goes against natural, universal laws. All that I am, all that I can be, all that will make me truly happy must begin from inside the self. We have to start from the inside out, not the other way round, otherwise we create desires that have no end, like the ten-headed Ravana - every time Ram cut off one of his heads, another grew in its place. Ravana did not die until Ram aimed for his heart. Desires are created from wanting one thing or another, believing that we will find achievement when those desires are fulfilled. This pattern of behavior keeps deceiving us and the proof of this is seen in the state of discontentment and emptiness people find themselves in.
Message for the day
The one who is the master is the one who creates positive thoughts under all circumstances.

Expression: The one who is the master of himself is always able to create the right kind of thoughts according to the circumstance. Never is there the dependency on situations or people for the right kind of responses. Since there is mastery over thoughts, there is also mastery over all words spoken and everything done.

Experience: When I am able to be a master of myself, I am able to constantly create positive thoughts. I am in touch with the inner resources and I am able to make use of these resources in a timely way. I never get confused or pressurized with outside situations, but am able to be in control in all situations.

Blessing: May you be a knowledgeable soul and with your stage of being ignorant of the knowledge of desire become a master bestower!
Those who are knowledgeable souls, that is, those who are wise, receive everything without asking for anything. There is no need for them to ask for anything. When you automatically have all attainments, no thought of asking for anything can then arise. Such children become ignorant of the knowledge of desire. From being those who ask for something, such knowledgeable souls become master bestowers, children of the Bestower. Their asking for something finishes and they receive such huge self-respect that there is no desire for any name, fame or honor.
Slogan: Those who rule fully over their mind, intellect and sanskars can become those with a right to self sovereignty.

A Powerful Consciousness Of Faith In Critical Situations

Almost every single day in our present lives brings with it various ups and downs in mind or sanskaras (when our thoughts or sanskaras are not the way we would like them to be, in spite of us wanting them to be so), body, wealth (or profession or role) and relationships. There is not a single human soul existing in the entire world today that is experiencing a constant state of positivity in the four parameters mentioned above. All parameters are extremely changeable and every now and then seem to bring with them negative surprises.
A very simple reason for this is today we stand at the far end of the eternal world cycle, when every human soul is in its last phase of its journey of birth and rebirth in this respective cycle, a journey in which it has committed many mistakes, especially in the latter part of the journey, as it has continued to lose its power and succumbed to negativity or the consciousness of the physical body.

So the problems from time to time in the four parameters mind, body, wealth and relationships are nothing but a reflection or mirror image of incorrect actions performed by each soul, especially in the latter part of this cycle. If we are expecting a time to come in the present time, when all these will be absolutely fine and they will always be positive, that will not be possible, not until this cycle reaches an end and we return back home to the soul world. Until we return, we will need to settle all our accounts of our past karmas or incorrect actions, by being faced with problems in these four parameters (not necessarily in all of them at the same time, but in one or more from time to time) and overcoming them with ease, positivity and power.
Instead of running away from this reality we need to accept it completely and instead of looking at ways of keeping these parameters positive on a physical or superficial level only, which we will be able to do but only to some extent because there will be times when it will not be possible for us to change the negativity in these parameters, in spite of our deep efforts on a physical level. We should do it and we will be able to do it at times, but it will not be possible each time that these parameters will change for the better as much as we want and at the speed we desire.

The Flight Of Harmony

There are two faces to one coin; a person who wishes to live fully as a human being needs to understand that the existence of one's unique individuality has to be acknowledged, as well as the existence of the group or collective. One cannot exist without the other. Individuals who are developing spiritually feel a personal sense of value. They clearly recognize their uniqueness and have the feeling that there is the freedom to be whatever they choose to be. At the same time, their sense of personal independence allows them to come close to others and work with them. They do not have selfish independence. They get close to others because they have found fulfillment in their own self. Someone who has truly found the value of the self above and beyond labels, name, fame and approval can effectively cooperate within the collective or group and interact appropriately. Such people not only feel themselves to be a part of the whole but, even more importantly, the group or collective feels them to be a part of the whole.

In nature, when birds have to fly to a warmer climate in winter, they flock together and start their journey as a group. The success of the journey depends on the group: if an individual bird does not join the group, it cannot reach the destination on its own. Birds fly in a particular formation, with an appropriate space between them as they fly. If they fly too close to each other, their wings get entangled; they lose their balance and fall. If they remain too far from each other, the formation cannot be created properly, and they are not able to ride the currents of air, which help to propel them in their flight. Furthermore, the leader of the formation does not remain the leader throughout the whole flight, but moves back and allows another to take its place. This repositioning continues throughout the flight until the destination is reached, allowing individual birds to contribute to the success of the journey.

The reality of life is that we are individuals within a collective whole. Just like the birds, we are all a part of an unlimited Flight of Harmony.
Message for the day
To be committed towards one's own progress is to help others to move forward.

Expression: The one who is committed towards his own self-progress, is free from criticizing others when he sees them make mistakes. Having realised what is wrong, such a person makes corrections immediately. He is able to realise his own mistake in a second and take the chance for self-improvement. This naturally gives the ability to help others also to bring about a change for the better.

Experience: Since I am committed to my own self-progress, I am able to become stronger and stronger with each passing situation. I find that I become a source of inspiration for those around, as I continue to learn from all that happens. I don't put people down for their mistakes, but am able to give them the help to be better.
