Essence of Murli (H&E): August 04, 2014

Essence of Murli (H&E): August 04, 2014:

 

Essence: Sweet children, the more you remember the Father, the more light there will be in the soul. Knowledgeable souls begin to sparkle.

 

Question: Which children can Maya not harass even slightly?

 

Answer: Those who are firm yogis, those who make all their physical senses cool with the power of yoga, who make effort only to stay in yoga can never be even slightly harassed by Maya. When you become firm yogis, you will become worthy. In order to become worthy, you first require purity.

 

Essence for Dharna:

1. In order to become an elevated being, make the soul pure with the power of remembrance. Do not perform any sinful actions through the physical organs.

2. Become knowledgeable and do the service of awakening souls. Pour the oil of knowledge and yoga into the lamp of the soul. Cleanse your intellect by following shrimat.

Blessing: May you be a double-light angel who remains free from the attraction of old sanskars and relationships of the world. (sanskars and sansaar)

 

An angel means one who is free from any attraction of the old world. There should be no attraction in the form of relationships either  of your own body or any bodily being or physical possession. Similarly, also remain free from the attraction of old sanskars. There should be no attraction of any sanskars in the form of thoughts, attitude or words. When you are free from all attractions, that is, free from wasting time, wasteful company and a wasteful atmosphere, you will then be said to be a double-light angel.

(Baba often says, deh sahit deh ke sabhi sambandh, sampark,saadhan,  vastu, vaibhav,  vyakti , padaarth ke aakarsharn se mukt raho. Remain free from the consciousness of the body, free from the attractions of individuals, their connections and relationships, material possessions, material comfort, facilities and wealth, and then you will  be able to become a double-light angel.)

Slogan: Those who sustain all souls with the power of peace(shanti ki shakti)  are spiritual social workers.

 

 

सार:- "मीठे बच्चे - तुम जितना बाप को याद करेंगे उतना आत्मा में लाइट आयेगी, ज्ञानवान आत्मा चमकीली बन जाती है"   

                            
प्रश्न:-    माया किन बच्चों को ज़रा भी तंग नहीं कर सकती?

उत्तर:-  जो पक्के योगी हैं, जिन्होंने योगबल से अपनी सर्व कर्मेन्द्रियों को शीतल बनाया है, जो योग में ही रहने की मेहनत करते हैं, उन्हें माया ज़रा भी तंग नहीं कर सकती । जब तुम पक्के योगी बन जायेंगे तब लायक बनेंगे । लायक बनने के लिए प्योरिटी फर्स्ट है ।

 

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार:-

1. अब उत्तम पुरूष बनने के लिए याद के बल से आत्मा को पवित्र बनाना है कर्मेन्द्रियों से कोई भी विकर्म नहीं करना है । 

2. ज्ञानवान बन आत्माओं को सुजाग करने की सेवा करनी है । आत्मा रूपी ज्योति में ज्ञान-योग का घृत डालना है । श्रीमत पर बुद्धि को स्वच्छ बनाना है ।

 

 

वरदान:- पुराने संस्कार और संसार के रिश्तों की आकर्षण से मुक्त रहने वाले डबल लाइट फरिश्ता भव !    

 

फरिश्ता अर्थात् पुराने संसार की आकर्षण से मुक्त, न सबंध रूप में आकर्षण हो, न अपनी देह वा किसी देहधारी व्यक्ति या कोई वस्तु की तरफ आकर्षण हो, ऐसे ही पुराने संस्कार की आकर्षण से भी मुक्त - संकल्प, वृत्ति वा वाणी के रूप में कोई संस्कार की आकर्षण न हो । जब ऐसे सर्व आकर्षणों से अथवा व्यर्थ समय, व्यर्थ संग, व्यर्थ वातावरण से मुक्त बनेंगे तब कहेंगे डबल लाइट फरिश्ता ।

 

स्लोगन:- शान्ति की शक्ति द्वारा सर्व आत्माओं की पालना करने वाले ही रूहानी सोशल वर्कर हैं ।

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 04, 2014: Enjoy

Suzhou, China

Enjoy

When I finish this project, then I will be happy! When this situation is resolved, I will be fine. When I reach my goal, I will finally relax, be peaceful! Do not postpone your happiness; enjoy whatever comes your way.

 

Self-control

Usually when we talk about control there is only a thought of
controlling others or situations. There is really never a thought of
self-control. Again controlling the self is understood as something
difficult and painful. So we generally force ourselves to change or
adapt our thoughts, words and behaviour with a great deal of
difficulty. This further makes it difficult to have interest for
self-control. To have control over ourselves means to be a master. Our
thoughts, words and behaviour need to be according to our orders. This
is real self-control. For this we need the practice of being a master
and not to become a slave to anything. The more we practice the
consciousness of being a master; everything that is our will naturally
obey our orders.

Unloading Your Pressure Baggage (cont.)

Sometimes the pressure we are carrying is related to the situation we are in, sometimes we even carry a pressure of one situation in another situation i.e. it is unrelated pressure. All this continues throughout the day, day after day. What all this pressure does is increase the quantity of thoughts that we carry in our mind, which in turn reduces our efficiency and discriminating and judging power. The words and actions coming out from such a state of mind are improper and lacking in power, conviction and clarity. To ensure that we do not carry pressure baggage on our emotional back, as per our pressure equation(shared in the first message of this series), we need to change the incorrect beliefs that we carry, which are the root cause of our pressure and at the same time increase our ability to bear the different life forces. We carry thoughts that are determined by our belief of what success is and what failure is, what winning is and what losing is. Although we perceive such beliefs to be true, they are not true; they are like a facade that influence our perception of reality and generate in us feelings of pressure. The truth, on the other hand, is deeper than beliefs.

While meditation will serve as an important tool to increase our inner power to tolerate or resist life forces; spiritual knowledge, understanding and wisdom will serve as an immensely important tool which will help us in correcting our beliefs. So in times of pressure, stopping yourself for a minute and assessing your thoughts, then going backwards, and checkingthe beliefs which are the root cause of the thoughts at that particular moment and then changing them requires strength and clarity, which we will obtain through the medium of spiritual wisdom. Once the beliefs are corrected, the thought patterns will change. Thoughts like - * Maybe I won't arrive on time, * If I don't finish this assignment successfully, I will lose my next promotion, * If I lose my money in this financial investment, my family will stop appreciating me etc. which we create all the time - will be replaced by more positive thoughts of security, fearlessness, patience, peace, faith, determination, certainty etc.

Worry Confused With Concern

One of the most incorrect beliefs that we have acquired since childhood is that to worry is to care, worrying is caring. Our parents are the people whom we grow up with and are closest to in our childhood. As soon as we are born, in fact even before we are born, even when we are in our mother’s womb, they start transmitting the energy of this belief through their thoughts and later on when we are physically present in front of them, through thoughts, words and actions; to us, which we catch, because we being a spiritual energy, not only transmit or radiate but also absorb energy. As we grow up, this false belief keeps reaching us from everyone on a subtle as level as physical level from whom we meet and are close to including our friends, siblings (brothers and sisters), spouse etc. and slowly we start accepting this belief as being completely true and lead our lives according to it and even transmit the same to others. That is why it is extremely difficult to find a single person today who does not live according to this belief or does not bring it into their daily lives to some extent or the other.

A very common example of the above belief which we all have gone through sometime or the other is when we are late by just a few minutes in coming back home from office. On reaching home, we are asked a thousand questions and by our family members, perhaps our parents or spouse or children about where we have been and why hadn’t we bothered to call and also informed about another thousand negative assumptions they had made in that much time. Why? Because they had been worried for us. We are normally surprised with the fact they are worrying, because 9 out of 10 times we are late because of a not so serious reason, but our family members explain that we were worrying for you because we care for you. But worrying is not caring. Worry is fear or anxiety and care is love or concern, they are two opposite emotions which can never exist together at the same time.

In tomorrow's message, we shall demonstrate how on a subtle energy level, true love and concern is more beneficial than worry in coming out of negative situations, in which we find ourselves every now and then.

Message for the day

To experience newness each day is to be creative.

Projection: Sometimes we find things to be very monotonous. There seems to be nothing new that is happening. Days pass on and we tend to become action-conscious only trying to finish the tasks at hand. We feel caught up in the routine not able to enjoy anything anymore.

Solution: Instead of just doing what has to be done in a monotonous way, we need to take a thought each day to experience something new. There is such a variety in each day, we only have to discover ways of experiencing it. When we learn this creative art, we'll never be bored, but will be able to enjoy everything that comes our way.

Synopsis: Avyakt Murli of December 01, 1978

Synopsis: December 01, 1978

 

 “The key to all treasures is constantly to belong to and remember the One (Eknami).”

 

Points of Self Respect:

 

We, the elevated souls having a loving relationship with the Father, the Godly children having the key of total rights to the Father's treasures and attaining whatever we want in a second, the master creators who have the most elevated fortune and are embodiments of spiritual power, the master almighty authorities transforming the tamoguni (impure) elements through a satoguni (pure) stage, the conquerors of Maya who have the right to gain victory over nature and circumstances, are the victorious and fearless children of the Great Death who perform many wonders...

 

The key of total rights to the Father's treasures:

 

1.   Everyone has received this key; As soon as you took alokik birth, BapDada gave each of you at your reception the key to Himself and all His treasures. Become knowledge-full and sensible in looking after this key.

2.   It is such a magic key that you can become an embodiment of whatever power you want as soon as you invoke that power.

3.   With this magic key, you can become a resident of whatever land you want within a second.

4.   You can become a spiritual astrologer and know about any aspect of time you want.

5.   You can direct the power of your thoughts at the speed you want onto the path that you want and claim a right to the power of thought.

6.   Use this key at all times. Use this key and take all the treasures. Do not be economical in this, but be one who belongs to One and remembers One. To belong to One and remember that One is the method to use the key.

7.   Learn how to look after your gift and constantly use it for every task. Before you begin any task, use this key to invoke whatever power is needed for the task. In this way, every power will become a server of you master creators and serve you.

8.   To invoke, means to be the master and to give an order. All of these powers are like your arms. Your arms cannot do anything without your orders. Order your power to tolerate to make a task successful and then see how success is already guaranteed!

9.   Become fearless in every aspect! Do not become fearless of being careless or lazy. Become fearless of being a conqueror of Maya.

 

Destroyer of attachment:  means to make intense effort. If there is the slightest attachment to your bodily relations, then, instead of being an intense effort-maker, you become just an effort-maker. Those who are intense effort-makers are in the first number whereas those who are just effort-makers are in the second number. No matter what happens, constantly dance in happiness. The meaning of, “Death for the prey and joy for the hunter”, is to become a destroyer of attachment. Only those who are destroyers of attachment can become the beads of the rosary of victory. If you gain victory over attachment, you remain constantly victorious. When you have a test paper, it means you move forward to the next class. You have to pass fully and not just pass.

See the speciality of others:

1.   Keep each one’s speciality in your awareness. Be faithful with one another and the motives and intentions of others will change. Transform the motive behind the meaning of the words and make the atmosphere powerful. Always have good wishes and benevolent feelings for everyone.

2.   Speak about each one’s specialities. You should not speak of anyone’s defects in front of anyone. Remain free from obstacles with just pure feelings, one feeling, one wish and being lost in the love of One. Where you have any situations (baat), the Father (Baap) will not be there. Let only “Wah wah!” emerge from everyone’s lips for everyone. Only then will there be “Wah wah!” for the Father.

Effort:

1.   Finish the stock of wasteful matters and accumulate a stock of things of happiness. Let everyone just see souls swinging in happiness.

2.   Let there be spirituality in every word.

3.   Be in an ascending stage; that is, go beyond what you were like before and continue to move ahead.

4.   Your stage should always be concentrated and stable and then the name will be glorified.

5.   Your stage should be such that you are seen to be an image that grants visions.

Essence of Murli (H&E): August 03, 2014: 

Revised from  01/12/78  

“The key to all treasures is constantly to belong to and remember the One (Eknami).”

 Blessing: May you be filled with determination and with the speciality of contentment, be successful in even the most difficult paper.

 

Contentment is the special qualification of Brahmins. To remain content with whatever part you have received is to move forward. No matter what fluctuation there is, even if someone insults you, children of the Bestower can never be discontent in any situation. They would be content with themselves and content with others. For this, have the determined thought that, no matter how difficult a paper comes in front of you is, you definitely have to remain content and you will continue to be successful in that.

 

Slogan: Those who constantly have the Sun of Happiness खुशी का सूर्य rising in their hearts have the fortune of happiness. खुशनुम:

“सर्व खजानों की चाबी - एकनामी बनना”

 

वरदान:-  सन्तुष्टता की विशेषता द्वारा हर कड़े पेपर में भी सफल होने वाले दृढ़ता सम्पन्न भव !

 

सन्तुष्टता ब्राह्मणों का विशेष लक्षण है । जो भी पार्ट मिला है उसमें सन्तुष्ट रहना ही आगे बढ़ना है । कुछ भी नीचे ऊपर हो जाए, कोई इनसल्ट भी कर दे, लेकिन दाता के बच्चे कभी किसी बात में असन्तुष्ट नहीं हो सकते । वे स्वयं से भी सन्तुष्ट और औरों से भी सन्तुष्ट होंगे । इसके लिए दृढ़ता सम्पन्न संकल्प करो कि कितना भी कड़ा पेपर आ जाए लेकिन मुझे सन्तुष्ट रहना ही है तो सफल होते रहेंगे ।

 

स्लोगन:-  खुशनुम: वह है जिसके दिल में सदा खुशी का सूर्य उदय रहता है ।  

 

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 03, 2014: Faith

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 03, 2014: Faith

Faith

When I am continuously being battered by the storms of life, and my very spirit is ebbing away, then all I need to do is hang onto that gift called 'Faith', that one support which will weather the storms. Faith does not depend on a clever head, only belief: belief in the self and the strength that lies within. Faith is the seed of victory and the foundation of making the impossible possible.

Keep Smiling

When difficult times come by it seems very difficult to remain happy
and keep smiling. Only when the situation passes by, are we able to
smile again. So it is but natural that we are usually waiting for the
situation to get better for maintaining an internal state of happiness.
It is only when we have the ability to smile will we be able to face
the situation with courage and confidence. Then we will not waste our
thoughts on 'whys' but will be able to search for the right solution.
So the effort lies in the ability to keep smiling in all situations,
which brings maximum benefit for us.

Unloading Your Pressure Baggage (cont.)

Can we experience freedom only when there is an absence of outside pressure? We feel pressured from many sides. At work, we feel the pressure to do tasks as per fixed guidelines of set systems and within boundaries of time, of keeping up our performance as per others' expectations and as good as our compatriots. In relationships, we feel the pressure of experiencing success in them, of satisfying others and gaining respect from them. In studies, we feel the pressure of having to excel in them, not only because that is instrumental in building our future but because of the desire to be seen in a positive light by others. We feel the pressure of having to earn more and more wealth to satisfy the necessities, comforts and luxuries of the family and to maintain a certain image in society. In the face of problems, we feel pressure when we are not able to solve them quickly or in the way that we want. Failure or its fear, in any sphere of life, generates pressure in us. Sometimes we experience pressure because the mind is not functioning as per our desires or directions or we are not able to transform our negative personality to a positive one as much as we want. When we believe that something harmful can happen if we don't reach our set objectives on time or in a certain manner, we feel pressured. Physical illnesses or their fear can also create pressure for some of us.

And so life turns into an endless amount of pressure crests, like speed breakers that appear one after the other, unsettling us and not giving us time to relax. When we feel pressured, it seems that the life forces rule our life and we do not feel free. In the long-term, this repetitive habit of creating feelings of pressure and carrying such baggage ends up leaving us exhausted on an emotional and spiritual level.

Being Impressed By Others – Is It Beneficial?

To keep our self esteem intact, we need to make sure that we do not have an impressionable intellect. Being impressed by people, in itself, is not bad, but we can fall into the tendency of staying trapped in the superfluous (excessive and unnecessary) and in appearances. What impresses us influences us and even moulds our awareness at that moment. We lose the ability to create our thoughts and feelings and these are influenced by the impression that we have allowed the other person to leave on us. Sometimes the impression is such that we completely give ourselves to it. We give up our power to the other, and we allow them to dominate our emotional world. The results of allowing oneself to be impressed are varied and on different levels.

For example, when we are impressed by the other's position; it is fine to respect the authority and the position of the other, but when we allow their position to impress us, our ability to relate to the person in a smooth way is blocked. This can make it difficult for us to be the authority in our own life. Another example is when we are impressed by the achievements of the other and put them on a pedestal. We compare ourselves with him or her and have weak thoughts of ourselves, such as that we are not as good or effective as them, or we might feel jealousy or guilt. All of this acts as an obstacle on the path towards our own achievement. It is good to recognise and appreciate the achievements and skills of others, but when we allow them to impress us, in some way, we submit ourselves to their influence and we weaken our self-esteem and our respect towards ourselves. Without realizing, we use the other to fill a gap that we feel in ourselves. This will not always work. It will not strengthen us; rather it will create a dependency and dependencies weaken us.

Message for the day

Faith enables the creation of elevated fortune.
Projection: Usually there is a tendency to leave things to destiny. When something goes wrong, we blame fate for it. Then we feel the situation to be totally out of our control, which prevents us from taking responsibility for our own life. And we will not be able to work in any way for bringing about a change and improving the situation.

Solution: Instead of blaming fate for whatever is happening, we need to take up responsibility for creating our own fortune for the future. When we have faith in ourselves, we will take up responsibility for our own life. We will, then, be able to work at making our each thought beneficial, contributing to our success, making a better future for ourselves.
