Essence of Murli August 08, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, this is the unlimited stage on which you souls are bound to play your parts. Each one’s part is fixed within this.
 

Question: What effort must you make to attain your karmateet stage?

 
Answer: In order to become karmateet, you have to surrender yourself completely. Nothing is yours, you should have forgotten everything; only then will you be able to become karmateet. Those who remember their wealth, property and children etc. cannot become karmateet. Therefore, Baba says: I am the Lord of the Poor. Gareeb Niwaaz Poor children surrender themselves quickly; they are easily able to forget everything and stay in remembrance of the one Father.


1.                    Just as the Father is the Ocean of Love, similarly, become master oceans of love and get things done with love. Do not get angry. If someone does get angry, remain silent.

2.                     Remove this old world of sorrow from your intellects and become unlimited sannyasis. Remember the land of peace and the land of happiness. Exchange the imperishable jewels of knowledge with one another.

Blessing: May you have a right to self-sovereignty and to the kingdom of the world and forget the old world through your spiritual intoxication.
 

Those who have a right to the Father’s inheritance at the confluence age have a right to self- sovereignty sw-rajya adhikaari and to the kingdom of the world vishva rajya adhikaari. Today, you have self-sovereignty and tomorrow, you will have the kingdom of the world. It is just a matter of today and tomorrow. Such souls who have a right maintain their spiritual intoxication and this intoxication easily enables them to forget the old world. Those who have a right adhikaari are never dependent adheen on any object vastu , person vyakti or sanskars. They do not have to make effort to renounce limited things, those things are automatically renounced.
 

Baba says, by becoming  those having a right to self- sovereignty sw-rajya adhikaari in the confluence age, you become ones with rights to the kingdom of the world vishva rajya adhikaari in the golden age. You can become a self sovereign by having intense tapasya, by which you sharpen your catching and touching powers, and thereby heighten your controlling and ruling powers. Controlling the mind and ruling over your physical organs makes one a self sovereign.
 

Slogan: Those who use their every second, every breath shwaas and every treasure khajaana in a worthwhile way safal become embodiments of success. safaltamoort

 




 
Om shanti. The spiritual Father sits here and explains to His spiritual children. It is definitely in the intellects of you children that you now have to return home. This is not in the intellects of devotees. You know that this cycle of 84 is now ending. This is a very big, unlimited stage mandva; it is an unlimited stage. You have to leave this old stage and go home. Impure souls cannot go there. You definitely have to become pure. It is now the end of this play. It is now the end of limitless sorrow.
At this time, all of that, which people consider to be heaven, is the pomp of Maya. There are so many palaces, cars etc. That is called the competition of Maya; it is a competition between hell and heaven. There is temporary happiness and it is the temptation of Maya.
According to the drama, there are so many human beings. At first, there was just the one original eternal deity religion. Now the stage has become full. This cycle is now ending and all are tamopradhan. The world too is tamopradhan and it has to become satopradhan. The whole world has to be made new. It has continued to become new from old and old from new countless times. This is the eternal play; you cannot say when it began, it continues eternally. Only you know this; no one else knows this. You too didn’t know anything before you received this knowledge. Even the deities did not know this. Only you Brahmins of the most elevated confluence age know this, and this knowledge will then disappear.
The Father is making you into the masters of the land of happiness, so what more do you want? You are attaining whatever you want from the Father and then there will be nothing left to attain. So, the Father explains: You are the ones who have become the most impure. You are the first ones to come and play parts. So, you are the ones who have to return first. This is the cycle.
 You are the ones who will be threaded in the rosary first. This is the rosary of Rudra. All human beings of the world are threaded on a thread. They will leave that thread and go to the supreme abode, and then they will be threaded again in the same way. The rosary is very big. Shiv Baba has so many children. You deities are the first ones to come. This is the unlimited rosary in which all are threaded like beads. (we are mala ke manke)The rosary of Rudra and the rosary of Vishnu are remembered. There is no rosary of Prajapita Brahma. There is no rosary of you Brahma Kumars and Kumaris because you ascend and descend and become defeated. Chadhte, girte, haar khaate. Maya repeatedly makes you fall. This is why the rosary of Brahmins is not created. When you pass fully, the rosary of Vishnu will be created.
 
In fact, there is also the genealogical tree of Prajapita Brahma. When you pass, it will be said that there is a rosary of Brahma too. The genealogical tree has been created. The rosary cannot be created at this time because you become pure today but, tomorrow, Kal,  Maya would slap you and make you lose everything. kala kaaya nikaal deti hai. Then, everything you had earned kamaai would be lost. You then break. Just think about where you fall from!
The Father makes you into the masters of the world. By following His shrimat, you can claim a high status. If you are defeated, everything is over. The vice of lust is the greatest enemy. You must not be defeated by it. All the other vices are its children. The greatest enemy is the vice of lust. It is this that you have to conquer. By conquering lust you will become conquerors of the world. These five vices have been your enemy for half the cycle and they don’t leave you alone. Everyone is crying out that they have to get angry but what need is there for that? Everything can also be achieved with love. If you explain to a thief with love, he will quickly tell you the truth. The Father says: I am the Ocean of Love. So, children, you also have to do everything with love.
It doesn’t matter what position someone has - even those from the military come to Baba - Baba explains to them too: If you want to go to heaven, simply remember Shiv Baba. They are told: If you die on the battlefield you will go to heaven. In fact, this is the battlefield. Those people die whilst fighting in a battle and then they take another birth here because they carry those sanskars with them; they cannot go to heaven. So, Baba used to explain to them: By remembering Shiv Baba, you can go to heaven because heaven is being established. Only by having remembrance of Shiv Baba will your sins be absolved. If you take even a little of this knowledge, this imperishable knowledge can never be destroyed. When you children hold gatherings etc. so many subjects etc. are created.
 
You are the spiritual army. There are a few commanders, majors etc. here. Many subjects are created. Those who explain well will claim one good status or another. There are the first, second and third grades amongst them too. You continue to give them teachings and some become exactly like you. Some can even go ahead of everyone. It has been seen that they go ahead of one another. New ones go ahead of older ones. If you have complete yoga with the Father, you can go very high. Everything depends on yoga. You must be feeling that this knowledge is very easy. There are obstacles in your having remembrance of the Father. The Father says: When you have your meals, have them in remembrance. However, some stay in remembrance for two minutes or five minutes. It is very difficult for anyone to stay in remembrance the whole time. Maya takes you somewhere or other and makes you forget. Only when you have remembrance of no one but the Father will you reach your karmateet stage.
 
If anything is yours, you will definitely remember it. Nothing should be remembered. This Baba is an example. What would he remember? Would he be remembering his children or his wealth etc? He only remembers you children. The Father would definitely remember you because He has come to benefit you. He remembers everyone, but, even then, His intellect is drawn to the flowers. There are many types of flower. Some are without fragrance; it is a garden. The Father is also called the Master of the Garden Baagvaan and the Gardener Maali . You know how people fight and quarrel out of anger; they have a lot of body consciousness. The Father explains: If anyone gets angry, you should remain quiet. Anger is an evil spirit. You must respond to an evil spirit in silence.
 
The Shrimad Bhagawad Gita, the directions of God, is the jewel of all scriptures. Sarv shaastro ki shiromani. It is God alone who comes and tells us about Godly directions, devilish directions and divine directions. He gives the knowledge of Raja Yoga. This knowledge will then disappear. What would you do with the knowledge once you have become kings of kings? You receive the reward for 21 births. There, you won't be aware that that is the fruit of this particular effort. You have gone to the golden age many times. This cycle continues to turn.
The golden and silver ages are the fruit of knowledge. It isn’t that you receive knowledge there. The Father comes here and gives you knowledge, the fruit of devotion. ( So, the Father says, knowledge is the fruit of devotion and the golden and silver ages are the fruit of knowledge) and The Father has told you that you have done the most devotion. Now remember the one Father and you will become satopradhan from tamopradhan. This requires effort. Remember the beginning, middle and end of creation and you will become the rulers of the globe. Chakravarty raja God makes you children into gods and goddesses. However, it is wrong to call bodily beings gods and goddesses.
There is a deep connection between Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar. This Brahma will then become Vishnu, and Shiva enters this one. Those who are in the subtle region are called angels. You have to become angels. You have visions, but there is nothing there otherwise. There is silence, then movie and then there is talkie here. This is the detail but you are told in a nutshell once again: Manmanabhav! Constantly remember Me alone maamekam yaad karo and also remember the world cycle! While sitting here, remember the land of peace and the land of happiness! Continue to forget this old land of sorrow!
 This is unlimited renunciation with your intellect. Theirs is limited renunciation. Those of the path of isolation nivrutti marg cannot give the knowledge of the family path. pravritti marg To become kings and queens is the family path. There is only happiness there. Those people (sannyasis) don't believe in happiness. There are millions of sannyasis. Their sustenance and income is through householders.
Firstly, you spent on donations and charity and then you did sinful business and so you became sinful souls. You children now have an exchange of the imperishable jewels of knowledge with one another. Those people who build dharamshalas etc. receive good fruit in their next birth.
That One is the unlimited Father. This is direct and the other is indirect. They surrender everything to God but He does not want anything. Shiv Baba is the Bestower. Would He be hungry? Shri Krishna is not the Bestower. The Father is the One who gives to everyone; He doesn't take. When you give one, you receive tenfold in return. When the poor give even two rupees, they receive multimillions in return. (The example of Sudama).

Bharat was the Golden Sparrow. The Father made you so wealthy. There was limitless akichaar wealth in the Somnath Temple. Those people looted so much. There were very big diamonds and jewels there. Now, you can't even see them anywhere; they have all been cut up. History will then repeat. There, all the mines will be full for you. The diamonds and jewels there will be like stones. The Father gives you the imperishable jewels of knowledge with which you become very wealthy.
So, you sweetest children should be so happy. The more you continue to study, the higher the mercury of your happiness khushi ka paara will rise. When someone passes an important examination, it remains in his intellect: I will pass this and then become this and do that. You too know that you will become those deities. Those are non-living images whereas we will exist there in the living form. Where did the pictures that you created come from? You saw them in divine visions. The pictures are very wonderful. Some people think that Brahma made them. If he had learnt this from someone, there wouldn't have been just one person who learnt it; others would have learnt it as well.
This one says: I have not learnt anything. It was the Father who had them made through divine vision. All of these pictures have been made according to shrimat. They are not pictures made through human dictates. All of them will be destroyed. No name or trace of them will remain. It is the end of this world. There is so much paraphernalia of devotion. None of that will remain. Everything will be new in the new world.
 
You have become the masters of heaven many times and then Maya defeated you. Vices, not wealth, are called Maya. You children have been trapped in the chains of Ravan for half the cycle. Ravan is the oldest enemy. His kingdom continues for half the cycle. When they say that it is hundreds of thousands of years, then the calculation of half and half would not be right. There is so much difference. The Father has told you that the duration of the whole cycle is 5000 years. There cannot be 8.4 million species. That is a great lie. Did the deities of the sun and moon dynasties rule for hundreds of thousands of years? Their intellects do not function.
 
Sannyasis believe that if they considered themselves to be wrong at this time, all their  followers would leave them and there would then be a revolution. This is why they do not follow your directions now and leave their kingdoms. They will understand a little at the end, but not now. Wealthy ones will not take knowledge either. The Father says: I am the Lord of the Poor. Wealthy people would never surrender themselves and claim their karmateet stage. The Father is the very powerful Stockbroker. Saraarf He only takes from the poor. If He took from the wealthy, He would have to give that much in return. The wealthy hardly come because they have to forget everything here. Only when you have nothing with you can you reach your karmateet stage. Wealthy ones are not able to forget. Those who received their inheritance in the previous cycle will do so. Achcha.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.
The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 08, 2014: Silence



“Whispering Angel”

Artist: Agostino Carracci (16 August 1557 – 22 March 1602) Italian painter and printmaker.

Talking comes by nature, silence by wisdom.



 
See Specialties


Sometimes people are not able to use their specialties. But even at
such times if one has the ability to see their specialties there is the
ability to give courage and enthusiasm to them. One can provide them
with such an environment that allows their own growth. So whatever the
circumstances may be, there is progress. When we are able to see the
positive aspect of others, we can keep our mind free from a major
portion of negativity. The potential of our thoughts can be used fully
for our own inner progress and we can therefore make a contribution for
the others too. This earns us blessings and good wishes from others,
which further enhances our own progress.


Imbibing Or Absorbing Spiritual Knowledge




The first step into experience, particularly the meditation experience, is knowledge. What does it mean to 'know'? Knowing involves four steps, which ultimately give the meditator the experience of realization:

The first step of knowing is information. With information, our intellect opens to new ideas and opinions.

The second step of knowing is knowledge, when we begin to reflect and think on the ideas and views that we have listened to. At this point, we often have to select only a few of the ideas we have heard, as it is not always possible to reflect (think) on all the information that is fed to us. In order to deepen our understanding, we reflect on the information and sometimes discuss our findings and thoughts with others.

The third step of knowing is when we move from thinking to doing, that is, from knowledge to wisdom. Wisdom is gained when we commit ourselves to 'doing'. Knowledge translated into our everyday behaviour is called wisdom, which, in turn, is called quality life. A life of quality is where personal values are not only realised but also lived and experienced through our practical actions.

Doing, or practice, naturally brings us to the fourth and final step of knowing, which is called truth.

Soul Sustenance

Understanding And Overcoming Ego

Identification with the ego and the external self creates a false identity and extremes of feeling inferior, or superior, depending on the circumstances and people. It brings with it the thought of 'I am', which is based on gender, religion, nationality, achievement or talent, creating an attachment to the self, which always compares and competes with others. This insecurity leads a person into forcing others to act and think in the same way as them. An egoistic person, rather than recognizing that everyone is unique with a unique personality and has a right to express his/her respective personality, sees difference in personalities as a threat to himself/herself.

Where there is such ego, only yes people (who have the same opinion as yours) are allowed to come close: anyone with a difference of opinion is rejected. With ego, the original uniqueness of the self is denied, unrecognized and buried deep in the layers of wrong identity. This is why, these days, there is such an identity crisis - humanity has lost its soul, or rather, sold its soul to external traditions and attractions.

With ego, then: is the idea of ‘I know best' and consequently the misunderstood duty and right to control and manipulate others, in their best interests (supposedly)! This results in the spoiling of the creativity and uniqueness of others.

(To be continued tomorrow…)

Message for the day


Pure feelings reach out and bring benefit to others.

Projection: When there is someone who is being negative, we tend to think or speak about the negativity we perceive at that time. To think about negativity is to imbibe a little of that negativity within our mind. Then our mind is no more pure and so whatever thoughts we have for that person don't have any positive influence and there is no benefit for them.

Solution: If we see someone using some weakness, we need to pay special attention not to think or speak about it. Instead we need to concentrate on some speciality of the other person. This gives them the encouragement to use it. The more we see negative, the more negative they will be with us and the more we see positive the more positive they'll be with us.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli August 07, 2014


Essence of Murli August 07, 2014:
Essence: Sweet children, your original sanskar niji sanskar is purity. You became impure by going into the company of Ravan. You now have to become pure and become the masters of the pure world.
 
Question: What is the reason for peacelessness and what is its solution?
 
Answer: The reason for peacelessness is impurity. Ashanti is apavitrta. Now promise God, the Father, that you will become pure and make the world pure and keep your eyes civil, that they will not become criminal, for only then can peacelessness be removed. You children have become instruments to establish peace and so you can never spread peacelessness. You have to remain peaceful and not become slaves of Maya. Maya ke gulam
Essence for dharna:
     
1. You have promised the Father to observe purity pavitrata ki pratigya and so you have to continue to save yourself from attacks of Maya. Never become a slave of Maya. Maya ka gulaam Never forget this promise because you now have to go to the pure world.
2.       In order to become deities, make your stage extremely peaceful. Shaant chit Do not allow any evil spirits to enter you. Imbibe divine virtues.



Blessing: May you be a carefree emperor befikr badshah who comes away from the shadow of Maya maya ki chhaaya and stays under the canopy of remembrance.yaad ki chhatrchhaaya 

Those who always remain under the canopy of the Father’s remembrance constantly experience themselves to be safe. The method to remain safe from the shadow of Maya is the Father’s canopy. Those who remain under the canopy are constantly carefree emperors. If there is any worry, your happiness disappears. When you become unhappy and weak, the shadow of Maya will then influence you because it is weakness that invokes Maya. If there is the shadow of Maya, even in your dreams, it will distress you a lot. Therefore, remain constantly under the canopy of protection. 

Baba says, in order to be safe from maya, be under the canopy of the Father’s remembrance. The more the remembrance, bigger is the circumference of the canopy, and the more distant maya will remain. She will remain so far, that even her shadow cannot cross your path; she cannot even infiltrate your subtle mind and dreams. This is the way to become a carefree emperor, a befikr badshah and a begumpur ka badshah-the emperor of the land free from sorrow. The magic mantr is Manmanabhav! Just remember Baba. 

Slogan: Tighten the loose screw of carelessness with the screwdriver of understanding and remain constantly alert.


Om shanti. The Father sits here and explains to you children that the God of the Gita spoke the Gita. He speaks it once and then departs. You are now listening to the same knowledge of the Gita from the God of the Gita and also studying Raja Yoga. Those people read the written Gita and learn it by heart and then continue to relate it to people. They then shed their bodies, take other births and become children, and would not then be able to relate it. The Father continues to speak the Gita to you until you receive your kingdom.
A worldly teacher also continues to give you lessons. He would continue to teach you until the study is over. Once your study is over, you go and begin to earn the limited earnings. You study with a teacher, earn money, become old, shed your body, and then take another body. Those people relate the Gita,
but what is the benefit of that? No one knows! If they have been relating the Gita, they can no longer relate the Gita when they become children in their next birth. When they grow up and become older, they can then become scholars of the Gita and relate it again.
Here, the Father only comes once from the land of peace and teaches you and then goes away again. The Father says: I teach you Raja Yoga and then depart to My home. Those whom I teach then go and experience their reward. They earn their income. They imbibe everything, numberwise, according to their efforts, and then depart. Where to? To the new world. This study is for the new world. People don't know that the old world is to end and that the new world is being established. You know that you are studying Raja Yoga for the new world. Then, neither this old world nor old bodies will remain.
Souls are imperishable. Souls become pure and then go to the pure world. There used to be the new world in which there was the kingdom of deities and that was called heaven. It is only God who creates that new world. He carries out establishment of the one religion. He doesn't do it through any of the deities. Deities don't exist here. So, He would definitely give knowledge through a human being who would then become a deity. After continuing to take rebirth, those deities have now become Brahmins.
Only you children know this secret. God is incorporeal and He creates the new world. It is now the kingdom of Ravan. You ask people if they are impure ones of the iron age or pure ones of the golden age, but they don't understand. The Father now tells you children: I also explained to you 5000 years ago. I come to make you children happy for half the cycle. Then Ravan comes and makes you unhappy. This is a play about happiness and sorrow. The duration of the cycle is 5000 years and so it has to be divided into
two halves. In the kingdom of Ravan, all become body conscious and vicious. You understand these things now but, previously, you didn't understand. Only those who understand this every cycle understand it now.

Those who are not going to become deities will not even come here. You are planting the sapling of the deity religion. When they become devilish and tamopradhan, they can no longer be called those of the deity tree. When the tree was new, it was satopradhan. We were its leaves, the deities, and then we went through the stages of rajo and tamo. We have now become old and impure shudras. In the old world, there will only be old people. The old ones have to be made new once again. The deity religion has now disappeared.
 The Father also says: Whenever there is defamation of religion...dharm ki glaani... Of which religion is there defamation? It would definitely be said “Defamation of the original eternal deity religion adi sanatan devi devta dharm that I established”. That religion has now disappeared. Instead of that, there is now irreligiousness. So, when, instead of religion, it is irreligion that spreads, dharm se adharm, the Father comes. It would not be said that there was expansion of religion. In fact, that religion disappeared and there was expansion of irreligiousness.
There is expansion of all religions. From the one Christ, there was such an expansion of the Christian religion. However, the deity religion had disappeared. Because of becoming impure, they cause defamation of themselves. It is only the one religion that then becomes irreligious. All the others are moving along fine. All continue to stick to their own religion all the time. The original eternal deity religion that was viceless has now become vicious. I establish the pure world and that then becomes impure and shudra, that is, there is defamation of that religion.  
When people become impure, they cause defamation of themselves. By going into vice, they become impure and cannot call themselves deities. Heaven changes into hell. So, no one is pure. You have become so dirty and impure! The Father says: I made you into beautiful flowers and then Ravan made you into thorns. From being pure you became impure. You have to look at the condition of your own religion.
You call out: Come and see our condition and see how impure we have become, and make us pure! The Father comes to make you pure from impure and so you do have to become pure. You also have to make others the same. You children continue to examine yourselves and check whether you have become full of all virtues. Is my activity like that of the deities? In the kingdom of deities, there was peace in the world. I have now come to teach you how to establish peace in the world. So, you also have to stay in peace. I show
you the way to remain peaceful: Remember Me and you will become peaceful and go to the land of peace.

Some children remain peaceful and also teach others how to stay peaceful. Others spread peacelessness; they remain peaceless and they also make others peaceless. They don't understand the meaning of peace.
People come here to learn peace, but when they return from here, they become peaceless. There is peacelessness due to impurity. People come here and make a promise: Baba, I belong to You alone. I want
to claim the sovereignty of the world from You. I will become pure and definitely become a master of the world. Then, as soon as they go home, Maya brings storms. There is a battle, and you then become Maya's
slaves and want to become impure.
Those who make a promise that they will remain pure are the ones who assault innocent ones. Because Maya attacks them, they forget their promise. You made a promise to God: I will become pure and claim the inheritance of the pure world. I will have civil eyes. I will not have impure vision. I will not indulge in vice. I will renounce criminal vision. In spite of that, they become defeated by Maya, Ravan. So, they then harass those who want to become viceless. This is why it is said: Innocent ones are assaulted. ablaaon par atyachaar  
Men are strong whereas women are powerless. Men go to war because they are strong whereas women are delicate; their duties are different. They look after their homes, give birth to children and sustain them. The Father explains: There is just one son there and no mention of vice. Here, even sannyasis sometimes say: You must definitely have a son. It is deceitful ones with criminal eyes who give such teachings. The Father says: Of what use would children be at this time since destruction is just ahead of you? Everyone is to be destroyed. I have come to destroy the old world. That is what the sannyasis say, and they don't know anything about destruction. The unlimited Father explains to you: Destruction is now going to take place. Your children will not be able to become heirs. You think that there should be a trace of your family, but no trace of the impure world will remain.  
You understand that you belonged to the pure world. People also remember that, because the pure world existed in the past and it was called heaven. However, because of being tamopradhan, they cannot understand anything. Their vision is criminal. That is called defamation of religion. Such things do not exist in the original eternal religion.

They call out: O Purifier, come! We are impure and unhappy! The Father explains: I made you pure and you then became impure because of Maya, Ravan. You now have to become pure again. You become pure and then there is the battle with Maya. You were making effort to claim your inheritance from the Father, but then you dirtied your face, and so how can you claim your inheritance? The Father comes to make you beautiful. Deities who were beautiful have become ugly. They show images of the deities with dark blue bodies. Do they ever show Christ or Buddha in that way? They make dirty images of the deities. 
 
The Bestower of Salvation Sarv ka Sadgati Data for all, who is the Father of all, to whom everyone says, “Supreme Father, Supreme Soul, come and liberate us!,” cannot be ugly. He is ever beautiful, ever pure. Even when Krishna takes another body, he is still pure. Only deities are called great souls. Krishna is a deity. It is now the iron age. How can there be great souls in the iron age? Shri Krishna was the first prince of the golden age. He had divine virtues. Now there are no deities etc. Sages and holy men become pure, but they still take rebirth through vice. Then they have to adopt renunciation.
Deities are always pure. It is the kingdom of Ravan here. They show Ravan with ten heads - five representing the male and five the female. You understand that all of us have the five vices in us. You cannot say this of the deities. That is the land of happiness. If Ravan were to exist there too, that would become the land of sorrow. People think that deities still give birth to children, and that they too are vicious. They don't understand how the deities are remembered as those who are completely viceless. This is why they are worshipped.
Sannyasis also have a mission. They only allow men to take up renunciation and they increase their mission in that way. The Father then creates a new mission of the family path. He makes couples pure. You will then go and become deities. You have not come here to become sannyasis. You have come to become the masters of the world. Those people take birth on the family path and then leave it. Your sanskars are of purity. You have now become impure and so you have to become pure. The Father is creating the pure family path ashram.
The pure world is called the golden age and the impure world is called the iron age. There are so many impure souls here. These things do not exist in the golden age. The Father says: Whenever there is defamation glaani of religion in Bharat, that is, when those of the deity religion become impure, they cause defamation of themselves. The Father says: I made you pure and you then became impure and were of no use. It is when you become so impure that I have to come to make you pure. This is the cycle of the drama that continues to turn. Divine virtues are needed to go to heaven.  
There should not be any anger. If there is anger in someone, he is like a devil.
You need to have a very peaceful stage. If you become angry, it would be said that you have the evil spirit of anger in you. Those who have any evil spirits in them cannot become deities. They cannot become Narayan from an ordinary human. Deities are viceless. As are the king and queen, so the subjects too are viceless. God, the Father, alone comes and makes you completely viceless. Achcha.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.
The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 07, 2014: Complete Everything




Artist: Vladimir Volegov


Complete Everything

A task left undone remains undone in two places -at the actual location of the task, and inside your head. Incomplete tasks in your head consume the energy of your attention as they gnaw at your conscience. They siphon off a little more of your personal power every time you delay. No need to be a perfectionist, that's debilitating in an imperfect world, but it's good to be a 'completionist'. If you start it, finish it...or forget it. Do it - or dump it!

Expectations

It is very natural to help someone when we see them in need. At that
time we don't expect anything from them and continue to extend help.
But when we need help or support we begin to expect from those whom we
had helped and if they don't, our feelings are hurt. At the time
that we are providing help, we need to consciously remind ourselves not
to have expectations. Again when we need help and find ourselves
expecting from others, we need to explain to ourselves that whatever
help we have given will surely come back to us at the right time. The
seed that we have sown will not be wasted away but will surely bear
fruit.

The Art Of Forgetting In Relationships


Sometimes, someone says something in two minutes that makes you feel really bad - they said it in two minutes but it is still there inside the register of your mind two months or even two years later. How could they! Who do they think they are! Something happened in two minutes and you remember it, you repeat it again in your mind and in your words during interactions with others. You keep replaying the scene repeatedly in your mind. Just like an action replay of a cricket match, you see the replays from different angles and judge the scene in many different and negative ways and come to different conclusions, most of which are negative in nature. With this you strengthen that experience in your mental register. Memories and the experiences associated with the memories replayed continuously in the conscious mind enter your sub-conscious, so that even after a long period of time you remember what they said to you. The other person unburdened themselves and forgot it straightaway.

It's like your neighbour who takes out rubbish, throws it outside his house, into your compound and forgets about it and you allow that rubbish to remain there, without thinking of getting it cleaned. Someone throws a few words at you and they forget, but not only do you not forget but you repeat them in your mind to such a point that at times these action replays do not even let you sleep. We need to learn the art of forgetting memories that generate shadows of hurt or pain in our present. The past has already gone and what you have now is the present moment.

Principles for the Body To Make Early Morning Meditation Successful (cont.)

• Freshen the self before morning meditation, with a shower or a hot drink. Avoid speaking before the meditation.

• Sit with an upright posture, away from the walls or comfortable chairs. If the body is ill, awaken but sit comfortably, and do not force the self.

• Have a good circulation of fresh air.

• Subtle lighting creates an atmosphere of meditation. If it is too dark it will lead to sleepiness; if it is too light there will be eye-strain.

• Burn incense sticks ("agarbattis"), only if it doesn't irritate your and others' eyes and throats.

Message for the day


Our words are effective only when we combine them with pure thoughts and inspirational actions.

Projection: As soon as we find someone's mistake it is natural for us to give correction through our words. We tend to explain to others using a lot of words. Yet we find that inspite of saying the right thing we are not being listened to and our words are just wasted away. We don't understand at such times where the problem lies.

Solution: To enable our corrections to others to be effective, we have to combine our thoughts, words and actions. There need to be good wishes in our thoughts which also brings sweetness in our words. We also need to take care that we are putting into action all that we are talking. When we do this we will find that our words are really effective.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 06, 2014: First Change




First Change


There is no greater teacher than one's own practical example. To be really benevolent therefore means that I must first change, then I have the power, the knowledge and the experience of thinking and doing for the ultimate benefit of all.


Enthusiasm


When something new is started, there is a lot of enthusiasm and we make
the best use of the resources that we have. We make sure that the best
is given to the task. Yet the initial enthusiasm tends to fade away.
Slowly we might even find ourselves giving up the task altogether. For
every task that we do, we need to check how much enthusiasm we have
when we begin the task. We need to ensure that our enthusiasm is high
enough so that we can maintain it till the end of the task. Also we
need to check ourselves at the end of the task if we have been able to
maintain the same enthusiasm. Such checking will enable us to bring
progress in all we do.


Serving Though The Subtle Body Of Light



Apart from our physical form (body), each one of us also has a form of light - a subtle light body. It is referred to as the aura, and can be seen by some sensitive souls. All of us might not be able to see it, but we can become aware of the aura of others' through the vibrations they emit. The purity of our subtle, light form is dependent on the purity of our thoughts or mental vibrations.Given below are some thoughts for a meditation to help experience your subtle form and serve through it. Think and visualize each thought alongside:

I become detached from my physical surroundings... I consciously create only the purest thoughts... Now I visualize my true form... I am a subtle being of pure spiritual light, a sparkling star situated at the center of the forehead... Gradually, I become aware of my subtle body of pure, white light surrounding my physical form... In my body of light, I, the soul, the sparkling energy, consciously stand up and step away from my physical form, which remains seated... I, the soul, inside my subtle body, observe my physical body in a detached way... Now I slowly fly outside the room I am in... I visualize myself, in the subtle form, suspended in the sky... White rays of spiritual light radiate from me, the soul, and my body of light into the world... like that of an angel... In this pure awareness of myself in my form of light, I realize that the greatest gifts I can share with those around me are the light of love, peace and truth.

Sitting anywhere, this meditation exercise can be done to visualize oneself in a hospital, on the site of a natural calamity, accident, next to a friend or relative in pain etc., basically anywhere where vibrations of positivity, peace and happiness are required - the location of visualizing yourself can be hundreds of miles from where you may physically be. As you practice the art of being aware of your subtle body, you will begin to sense how you can have a positive effect on others simply radiating good wishes, pure thoughts and pure feelings.

Principles for the Body to Make Early Morning Meditation Successful

• Rest well each night. Avoid going off to sleep later than 10 p.m. especially when there is no time for an afternoon rest.

• Make sure the evening meal is taken early or only have a light meal before bed, and a heavy breakfast. Light eating with plenty of fresh fruits and salads makes the mind light.

• If I am very, very tired at night, it is better to do some light housework until the stage of tiredness passes, rather than surrendering to sleep at this moment. If I go to bed with a heavy head I rise with a heavy head.

• Do not talk unnecessarily before going to sleep.

• Be warm, yet avoid over-heated rooms.

Message for the day


To say yes is to have regard for all.

Projection: When someone expects us to do something that we don't like our usual reaction is to say no and give reasons why we don't want to do it or why we don't agree with what the other person is saying. But it usually happens that once we say no, the other person is no longer able to listen to what we have to say.

Solution: Instead of saying 'no', we need to practice saying 'yes'. To say yes means to try to understand what the other person is saying. Only after that can we put forth our argument. And then the other person will also give regard to our opinion. This practice will enable us to get good wishes from others and increase our chance for success.

Brahma Kumaris
