Synopsis: Avyakt Murli of January 02, 1978

Synopsis: January 02, 1978

The splendour ofthe moon of knowledge and the stars ofknowledge.

Points of Self Respect:

We, the multimillionaire souls, the stars of knowledge, the master oceans of knowledge, happinessand peace, the all-round first class serviceable souls who reveal the Father's virtues and task, who are constantly co-operative and ever-ready, who are loving and filled with all powers, who are constantly extremelydetached and loving, who make a mountain into cotton wool, whose starof fortune is constantly sparkling, who are the most elevated and fortunate and who are seated on the throne now and who will be in the future, who transform the self and others in a second, are the number one world hero actors and benefactors...

Q: When will the meeting of the corporeal form and the avyaktform take place?

A: "When the mother (Brahma) says that everyoneis ever ready."

Brahma Baba said: "The rosary of 16,108 is already made." The beads are fixed, but their positions are not. ln terms of theirpositions, the last ones can go fast.

Q: Would the eight jewels havebeen finalized?

A: The mother and Fatherhave the eight jewels fixed. Now, they just have to be revealed on the stage.

Q: Why are only the 108 fixed with the Father?

A: The future is becoming cleartothe very special children because they are close to the Father and co-operate with Him in every task.

Q: How can the children give an accurate judgement?

A:Having equal knowledge of the present and the futureis known as being equalto the Father. Therefore, the eight jewels are the Chief Justice.

Q: What creates an impression?

A: Drishti and the power of spirituality. Even though they may not understand the language, the impact that stays with them is your angelic face and thespiritual look in your eyes.

Hero actors: They can adopt whatever form they want when they want, that is, they can playwhatever part they want. They are ableto show this love and are also abletomerge it.

A First-ClassServer: The visible speciality in first-class serviceablesouls is that while serving they would reveal the Father's virtues and task. They would not just be serving throughaction. Even whileserving physically, their every action at every step would reveal the Father 's virtues and task. This is the first-class service. While serving, you should experience yourself tobe a master ocean ofknowledge, happiness and peace. A first­class serviceable soul means one who does all three types of service simultaneously; through your face,through your mind and through yourdeeds. Your image should reveal the sparkleof a spiritual server, thatis, an angelic sparkle should be visible. Your elevated attitude should serve through your mind. In this way, all three types of service should be done simultaneously. This is known as being a first-class server. To serve is a virtue, but to remain a master ocean of all virtuesis a speciality thatcannot be foundanywhereelse. Everyone can become tireless, but nowhere else could one find all-round serviceable souls who do allthree types of servicesimultaneously. So reveal the speciality of Brahmins according to the aim and its qualifications.

Intense Speed: Make your karma and yoga even more balanced. Increase your practice of having a powerful stageof yoga while performing karma. To keep this balance means to have an intense speed.

Special Task: Become even more introverted and go into the depths of the attainments of the pilgrimage of remembrance and have very deep experiences. To be in yoga means to be connected. Go into the depths of its spirituality. Then the angelic form will be revealed. The way to achieve this revelation is first of all to have all the experiences visible in the self.

Memorial: Brahma confirmed the line of fortune of16,108 beads, that is, of all the co-operative souls. Thisis why Brahma is called the bestowerof fortune, the one who distributes all fortune. As a memorialof this, brahminpriests prepare the horoscope at the time of a child's birthand perform naming ceremonies.

Solution: Take benefit from theblessings and every difficult situation will be experienced as easy. Somethingmay appear to be very difficult but you will easily be able to find a solution to it. Thisis known as making a mountain into cottonwool (rui). A mustard seed (rai) is still hard, but cotton wool is soft and light.

Blessing: May you be bodiless, and, while enabling the physical organs to function as a detached observer, be free from the consciousness of being the “doer.”

Come into the body when you wan t and becomebodiless when you want. When you have to perform an action, then take the support of the physical organs, but do not forget that it is "I, the soul" who is tak ing that support. I am not the one who does, but the one who inspires. Just as when you get othersto do something you consider yourselfto be separate, in the same way, be a d etached observer and enable your physical organsto function and you will remain free from the consciousness of being the 'doer ' and become bodiless. When performing actions, practice being bodiless for one or two minutes andyou will recei ve a lot of help in the final moments.

Slogan: In order to become a world emperor, become one who gives

sakaash to the world.

Daily Positive Thoughts: May 18, 2014: Appreciate the Gift

Appreciate the Gift
When you open your eyes in the morning, sit for a moment and appreciate the gift of a new day, create a peaceful thought and enjoy some moments of silence throughout the whole day.

Faith

When there is faith in others, one is able to provide an environment
for others' growth. All resources are used to give support for others.
There is no interference in others' work and no feeling to take over
others' responsibility. Instead it helps to provide them with the
power to deal with their own problems. When I have faith, I am able to
see what is lacking in others and fill in with it. I don't complain
but am able to see positivity instead. I provide with what is
necessary and I have patience too. I am free from expectations for
them to bring about a change immediately.

Valuing The Physical And The Non Physical

When the soul leaves the body, it's not just the body that dies but it's as if all the connections with the world of that individual are simply switched off. Not only the relationships but all specific plans, projects and desires suddenly have no further means (medium) through which they can be expressed or put into practice. The powers of thinking, deciding and the personality traits ('sanskaras') connected with the life that is being left behind, stop and get hidden momentarily to emerge again in a new body, a new life. All the material things that belonged to that particular individual are passed on to others.

It's interesting to note that even when the body is sick it can only be treated when the soul is still present. If we take out the soul no one remains to look after the body.

On the other hand, the body is a truly marvelous vehicle for the soul to express itself through. No manufactured machine could hope to compete. For example, it is calculated that in just one day, the brain is able to complete a hundred times more connections than the entire telecommunications system of the planet. Or compare the human eye with any manufactured camera or the heart with any manufactured pump. The body's importance cannot be played down or not taken into account.

Filling Myself and Others With Invisible Treasures (Part 1)

Soul consciousness or the awareness of the soul is the key to the internal treasures of the original and eternal qualities of the soul. The moment I switch on the awareness of the soul, a spiritual point of subtle light or energy, situated at the centre of the forehead, I start accessing the qualities of peace, love and joy that lie hidden inside my consciousness. Since these are not physical treasures, they are limitless. It’s like suddenly I become an owner of an ocean of these qualities. The ocean is inside me and not anywhere outside.

When we hear the word ‘ocean’, the first characteristic that comes to mind is limitless. So suddenly I am the owner of an ocean of peace, love, power and bliss. I can draw and drink as much of these qualities as I want and these qualities will never get over, because an ocean is an unlimited, tireless and big hearted provider or giver, never expecting anything in return. The ocean will never refuse me, but, as stated above, the key to accessing the ocean is the awareness of the soul. It is a common experience of many that the moment we are in the consciousness of the body, we suddenly feel empty of these treasures and we experience emotions of peacelessness or sorrow or hatred or jealousy or powerlessness or fear etc., because in those moments, we have lost access to the ocean.

(To be continued tomorrow...)

Message for the day

True spirituality is that which makes one practical.

Expression: Usually spirituality is perceived as something that has to be kept separate from the normal daily life. But true spiritual life is that which is very practical. The one who is able to fill himself with spiritual power is able to use this power for being better and better in his practical life.

Experience: When I am able to recognize the inner beauty and am able to give myself time to be in touch with this spiritual aspect, I am able to be powerful and beyond chaos in all situations. I am able to go within to find the immense power and use it in practical situations. So I find myself being successful in practical situations.

Riches
The greatest good we can do for others is not to share our riches with them, but to reveal to them their own.

 

 

Challenges

The one who has the courage to process problems or challenging
situations is the one who faces them with courage. He never tries to
escape the challenge. Nor does he try to suppress the thought about
the problem. He instead uses all the available resources for constant
growth. When I understand why the challenge has come my way, I am able
to remain content. I am free from waste thoughts or questions about
others. I see a solution in each and every problem. So the problem
doesn't remain a problem for me. I don't suppress thoughts that
might emerge at a later time.

Soul Wound Healing Through Meditation

Our connection with the Supreme Soul, through meditation, is the best way of healing the inner wounds and negative traces, inside the soul, which have been left by the negative karmas of the past. Given below is a meditation commentary that will help you to absorb the positive healing energy of the Supreme in order to do the same:

I become aware of myself as a tiny sparkling star of light, situated just above the eyebrows - a soul... In soul consciousness, I experience the beauty of the many qualities like peace, love and bliss; of the spiritual being that I am... Now I turn my mind to the soul world... Over there, I visualize, in front of me - a sparkling Sun of golden light - God, the Father and Mother of me, the soul... He radiates immense spiritual energy... I turn my mind and intellect to his light... I feel the warmth of His presence and the light of His love for me gently healing the wounds of the past that are buried deep inside me, the soul... wounds left by ego, fear, sorrow, jealousy, hatred, anger...

While I sit and absorb this healing energy from the Source, I also transmit that light and positive energy out into the world... This light touches everyone I know and have ever known... It is a light which also heals my negative vision of them... I now recognize everyone around me as bother souls, playing their own unique roles... With this new soul-conscious vision, I experience unconditional love for each soul and all negative memories and past hurts associated with each of my relationships is consciously released... The past is forgotten, resulting in a deep feeling of freedom inside me...

The beauty of the Law of Karma is realizing that when our consciousness is filled with happiness, peace and love for others today; and we transmit that positivity to others through our words and actions, the energy received back from each of our relationships, as a result of doing that; ensures that our own future will be bright.

Going Back To My Original Nature (Personality)

Our present personalities are basically the combined habits of this lifetime (birth), built on the combined habits of previous lifetimes (births), all of which have left their mark (sometimes deep and sometimes not so deep) on our consciousness. It may well be that habits such as becoming angry, upset, anxious, stressed, sorrowful or scared, have been with us for so long that, they feel a natural part of our inner world, so natural that when someone says our true nature is not anger but peace, not fear but love, not aggression but acceptance, not anxiety but calm, it does not feel right. And even if it did feel right for a moment, we have become so attached to our old habitual moods, emotions and behaviors that we do not really want to change. It may even be the case that we have become so weak that we need help to change. It seems much easier to stay the way we are.

As we begin to meditate and develop our spiritual practice, our views on the above subject will fluctuate. When that does happen, imagine you are having a conversation with yourself and teaching yourself. Give yourself permission to be peaceful by nature, full of love and joy by nature, naturally content by nature, wherever you are and in whatever you do. After a while, you won't need to give yourself permission and you will find these states of being are there within you quite naturally at every moment. They are our original and eternal nature. Everything else is acquired or learned. In so many ways introduction to spirituality, like many other approaches to inner awakening, is as much about unlearning (the acquired beliefs) as it is about learning (new beliefs).

Message for the day

To be clean at heart is to give happiness to others.

Expression: The one who has a clean heart is the one who always tries to do the best for those with whom he comes in contact. Thus, the person develops the ability to accept others as they are and ignore anything wrong done by them. Instead, he is able to do the right action without losing the balance. So such a person brings happiness for himself and for others through every action he performs.

Experience: When I have a clean heart I am able to have an experience of my inner qualities. I am able to enjoy the beauty of the different relationships, each relationship and each person being unique. Thus others are able to get in touch with their inner beauty too. So there is happiness experienced by all.

Daily Positive Thoughts: May 16, 2014: Feeling of Happiness

 

Feeling of Happiness

If I do everything with a feeling of happiness, there will be no task too difficult to perform.

 

Have Faith

The ones who have faith are able to believe in succeeding even in the
most difficult circumstances. They will never say "I will try to do it" but their words reflect the confidence, which make them say, "I will do it". They are able to make best use of the available resources and also find yet undiscovered resources. When I am able to work with faith and believe in the success of a task, I'll naturally fill it with positive and powerful vibrations. This naturally ensures that the task is successful. Also people provide maximum support, as I am totally committed and confident.

Mind Empowerment

Meditation is an inner mental exercise, an exercise not physically visible to oneself and others. Through this exercise we link ourselves to the Source of unlimited and complete purity (the Supreme Being), which not only purifies our mind but also liberates the mind from the limits or various different forms of impurity or body consciousness, like I, my, burdens of the past and negative feelings for myself and others. During meditation the mind let's go of the threads of the limits of the physical body and physical world. Like a bird, the mind, which is impure, experiences a magnetic pull for this pure Source and flies upwards and connects with this Source. This connection is not difficult when the mind is truly in love. Love for the Source emerges inside when we have complete knowledge of God as the Ocean of truth and purity and have an inner spiritual thirst for experiencing a connection with Him, and not just trying to demand, flatter, or beg God for something for selfish reasons. The desire for connection enables the soul to fly beyond all mental barriers such as I can't, How do I? and No time!.

Connection fills the mind with a spiritual strength which we use in our everyday life and keeps it constantly positive, uninfluenced by any external negativity. To maintain such strength, we require a daily connection and recharge every morning; otherwise the using up of the energy of the mind in actions throughout the day causes its spiritual strength to get depleted very soon. In silence, we will find a personal and very loveful friendship with God, who not only listens and helps but, most of all, is just there. At the present moment, a lot of us have completely lost the simple enjoyment of His presence; we feel we have to ask for something, say something, or chant something. It is enough just to be still in the silence of that spiritual meeting and experience its bliss and enjoy the stage of spiritual fulfillment.

Shedding Off The Attachment To A Positive Past (Part 2)

Excessive attachment to a glorious past is a subtle shade of the negative emotion of ego which colors my present perception of external events and which affects my present actions and responses, as a result of which not only present but my future is also affected. As I hold on to it, my creativity is reduced and I do everything with a limited perspective, not letting myself grow and shape up a glorious present and future. There are some people whose goal is to achieve something so great in their lives so as to ensure they will gain recognition and respect by others in time to come. This is again a subtle shade of attachment and ego.

But shedding off this type of attachment is not easy and first requires the realization that this attachment is incorrect and damaging. The next step is sitting in silence and becoming aware of how you lose your identity in a story of past thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitudes and actions and then disassociating or detaching yourself from that story. You do not need to suppress or deny or fight with this story; otherwise its memory gets stronger and more overpowering. You just need to simply see and realize deeply that your past is just a record of a particular set of actions, which you committed at a particular point of time, it is a series of images of previous events that you witnessed and that you were a part of, all of which have left a record in your memory, and in the memories of others, but they are not what you are. This type of practice of disassociation with spiritual understanding fades the excessive memory of the story in your consciousness over a short period of time and these actions then cease to influence you in any way in the present. Here we are talking about an influence, which we have for long deceived ourselves into believing to be a positive one, but which in reality is not.

 

 

 

Message for the day

True detachment is to be a master of all things that we use.

Expression: Detachment is usually mistaken as being away from things because usually while using the facilities available we tend to get dependent on them. Such dependency is troublesome and so we sometimes give up using these facilities thinking that this is detachment which helps us to be free from their control.

Experience: The solution lies in mentally detaching ourselves from the facilities we are using. That means we use them but we are not dependent on them. For this we need to remind ourselves that we are the creator and whatever facilities are available to us are the creation. This enables us to develop mastery and control over everything.

Today

Don’t let the distance to be travelled deter you from taking the first step – today

Spread the Fragrance of Virtues

The presence of even one weakness within oneself reveals itself in
words and actions. Behavior is colored with negativity and the inner
specialties remain hidden. So to make effort to be free from the
influence of even this little weakness is to spread the fragrance of
virtues to all. When I pay attention even to the smallest weaknesses I
can take special care not to let it influence my life negatively. I am
able to reach within and be in touch with my specialties. So however
challenging the situations may be, I am only focused on using my
virtues and not my weaknesses.

Forgive To Forget

A key principle to remain light and stable in relationships is - forgive and forget - it's a well-known principle - one that we sometimes find difficult to practice. It can be modified to forgive to forget. Sometimes we spend many years with so much bitterness inside us for a particular person, with an inner violence of wanting to make the other pay (emotions of revenge), the one who has supposedly hurt you. If you don't strike back immediately, you at least want to keep this guilt card in your pocket, to be pulled out at a later date: "Oh yes, well what about the time when you...." We keep this bitterness inside us because we haven't forgiven. It does not resolve the situation; the only thing it does is increase our pain, makes us heavy and does not let us remain in peace. So the key is that if we do not forgive, we cannot forget. When someone has offended or insulted us, the last thing we want to do is to let it go. And yet, if our desire is to have a healthy, lasting relationship, that is exactly what we've got to do.

Sometimes, when it is a question of a broken relationship, it is not only a matter of forgiving the other, but of forgiving yourself for having allowed yourself to enter that experience. It was you that took the step to allow that experience to be entered into. If you hadn't taken that step, you wouldn't have had that experience. You accepted that challenge, that relationship, and what might happen in it - you were aware of the possibilities when you entered in the relationship. So not only do you have to learn to forgive the other, but also to forgive yourself in such situations. Only then will you be able to forget.

Understanding The Mind And Its Functioning

The mind is a faculty of the soul, the main function of which is to produce thoughts. The thoughts we create are energy. In one day we produce an average of thirty to forty thousand thoughts. How much energy does this represent? What do we do with it?

The mind works constantly, even when we are sleeping. We cannot separate ourselves from it, it is our inseparable companion. If you study your mind you will see that, as well as thinking, it imagines, remembers, dreams, associates, desires and even produces your feelings.

If you think about some incident that made you unhappy ten years ago, you will feel that unhappiness again, perhaps even more deeply than before. If you think of something that made you happy, you will also feel that happiness when you repeat the event in your mind.

If you create positive thoughts about yourself, you will feel good and your self-esteem will be strengthened, and if you create negative thoughts, you will feel depressed, with low self-esteem. The mind opens up the way to the self. By creating the right type of thoughts you can open up your inner potential again, and rediscover that as people we are full of positive qualities.

Message for the day

To be an embodiment of power is to be free from effort.

Expression: When we are faced with a difficult situation we usually try to make our mind positive at that time, but we find it very difficult to do so. We then give up making effort thinking that we don't have the power to change our nature. We continue to work with the weakness and strengthen it further.

Experience: In order to win over our weakness we need to become an embodiment of power. For this we need the practice of a long time of being powerful so that we experience the power within. Then the power that we want at that time will emerge naturally. Like a master we'll be able to order our inner powers and be free from the effort of changing negative to positive.
