Essence of Murli : August 12, 2014

Essence of Murli August 12, 2014:

Essence:    Sweet children, you accumulate an income through the pilgrimage of remembrance.(yaad ki yatra) From debit you go into credit (ghaata se faayda) and become the masters of the world.

Question:   What is the meaning of, "The company of the Truth takes your boat across and the company of falsehood sinks your boat"? (sat ka sang taare, kusang bore)

Answer: When you children receive the company of the Truth, that is, the Father's company, your stage ascends. The company of Ravan is bad company. Through the company of Ravan, you fall, that is, he sinks your boat, whereas the Father takes you across. It is the wonder of the Father that, by giving you His company, you experience liberation and liberation-in-life in a second. This is why He is also called the Magician. (Jaadoogar)

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      In order to be freed from punishment, make effort to become a bead of the rosary of victory. Become a spiritual guide and lead everyone on the pilgrimage to the land of peace, to the home.

2.      Become free from all sin by gradually increasing your pilgrimage of remembrance. Make the soul real gold with the fire of yoga and become satopradhan.

May you be a master bestower of happiness sukhdata and give happiness to every soul as an embodiment of happiness.sukh swaroop

Children who constantly perform righteous actions receive happiness and power as the instant fruit of such actions. Their hearts always remain happy and they cannot have even the slightest thought of any wave of sorrow. To be confluence-aged Brahmins mean that there is no name or trace of sorrow because you are the children of the Bestower of Happiness. (Sukhdata)Children of the Bestower of Happiness are master bestowers of happiness and so they constantly give happiness to all souls. They never cause sorrow or take sorrow.

BapDada says that life of the confluence-aged Brahmins means happiness. We are Brahmins who become deities, the residents of the land of happiness. In order to go there, we must have the sanskar of happiness. We have to experience happiness in the the confluence age in order to go to the golden age. Deities are always cheerful and happy. So Baba’s yukti is that if you perform righteous actions, you receive happiness and power as the instant fruit of such actions. Being the children of the Bestower of Happiness, we are master bestowers of happiness. Therefore, not only do we remain happy, but we also make others happy.

 

Slogan: To be a master bestower and give your co-operation, love and sympathy (sahyog, sneh, sahaanubhooti) are signs of a merciful soul.

 

Om shanti. Children were sitting in remembrance. This is called the pilgrimage of remembrance. The Father says: Do not use the word "yoga". Remember the Father; He is the Father of souls, the Supreme Father and the Purifier. You only have to remember that Purifier. The Father says: Renounce all your bodily relations and remember the one Father. It is said that when you die, the world is dead for you. (aap muye mar gayi duniya) Do not remember your bodily relations etc. or the body you see. Only remember the one Father and your sins will be burnt away.

You have been sinful souls for many births. This is the world of sinful souls. The golden age is the world of charitable souls. How can you now cut away all your sins and accumulate charity? Only by having remembrance of the Father will that be accumulated. The mind and the intellect are in the soul. Therefore, you souls have to remember Baba with your intellect. The Father says: Forget everyone else, all your friends and relatives. They all cause each other sorrow. The first sin they commit is that they use the sword of lust. What is the second sin they commit? They call the Father who grants everyone salvation, the One who gives you children unlimited happiness, that is, the One who makes you into the masters of heaven, omnipresent.

This is a school and you have come here in order to study. Lakshmi and Narayan are your aim and objective. No one else can say this. You know that you now have to become pure and become the masters of the pure world. It was exactly 5000 years ago when we became the masters of the world. The deities are the masters of the world. It is such a high status!

 Surely, it was the Father who made you become like that. The Father is called the Supreme Soul. His original name is Shiva. Later, they give Him many names. For example, there is a temple in Bombay to the Lord of Thorns (Babulnath Temple), that is, He is the One who changes the forest of thorns into the garden of flowers. In fact, He only has one real name - Shiva. Even when He enters this one, His name is still Shiva.

You must not remember this Brahma; he is a bodily being. You have to remember the bodiless One. You souls have become impure; you have to be purified. It is said: "great soul" and "sinful soul". "Great Supreme Soul" is never said. No one else can call himself the Supreme Soul or Ishwar (God). It is said that a great soul is a pure soul. Sannyasis renounce everything. This is why they are called pure souls.

The Father has explained that they also take rebirth. Bodily beings definitely have to take rebirth. They take birth through vice and then, when they grow older, they take up renunciation. Deities do not do that. They are ever pure. The Father is now changing you from devils into deities. It is by imbibing divine virtues that you will become those who belong to the deity community. The deity community live in the golden age whereas the devilish community live in the iron age.

It is now the confluence age. You have now found the Father. He says: You definitely now have to belong to the deity community once again. You have come here in order to belong to the deity community. Those of the deity community have limitless happiness. This world is called violent. Deities are non-violent. The Father says: Sweetest spiritual children, remember the Father! All of your gurus are also bodily beings. You souls now have to remember the Father, the Supreme Soul. You will receive happiness when you become charitable souls. You become sinful souls while taking 84 births. You are now accumulating charity. You finish off your sins with the power of yoga. It is through this pilgrimage of remembrance that you become the masters of the world. You certainly were the masters of the world.

Where did they go then? The Father tells you this as well. You took 84 births and became part of the sun dynasty and then the moon dynasty. It is said that God gives the fruit of devotion. No bodily being can be called God; He is incorporeal Shiva. People celebrate the birth of Shiva and so He must surely have come. However, He says: I do not take birth in the way that you do. I have to take a body on loan. I do not have a body of My own. If I did, it would have a name. The name Brahma belongs to this one. It was when this one took up renunciation that he was given the name "Brahma". You are Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. Otherwise, where did Brahma come from? Brahma is the son of Shiva. Shiv Baba enters His son Brahma and gives you knowledge. Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar are His children. All the children of the incorporeal Father are also incorporeal. Souls come down and adopt bodies to play their parts.

The Father says: I come in order to purify the impure. I take this body on loan. It is God Shiva who speaks. Krishna cannot be called God. There is only one God. The praise of Krishna is totally separate. The first number deities are Radhe and Krishna and, after their marriage, they then become Lakshmi and Narayan. However, no one knows this. No one knows about Radhe and Krishna or where they go. Radhe and Krishna become Lakshmi and Narayan after their marriage. Each is a child of a separate emperor.

 There is no trace of impurity there because Ravan, the form of the vices, does not exist there. It is the kingdom of Rama (God). Now the Father says to you souls: Remember Me and your sins will be cut away. You were satopradhan and have now become tamopradhan. You have gone into loss and so you now have to accumulate. God is also called the Businessman. (Vyaapaari) Very few are able to do business with Him. He is also called the Magician. The wonder He performs is that He grants salvation to the whole world. He grant everyone liberation and liberation-in-life. This is a magic act. Human beings cannot grant salvation to human beings.

You have been doing devotion for 63 births. Did anyone receive salvation through devotion? Was there anyone who could grant salvation? It was not possible. Not a single one was able to return home. Only the unlimited Father comes and takes everyone back home. There are many kings in the iron age. Very few of you rule there. All the rest of the souls go into liberation whereas you go into liberation-in-life via the land of liberation.

The cycle continues to turn. You souls have now been shown the cycle of the world, the Creator and the beginning, middle and end of creation. It is you who become Narayan from ordinary human beings through this knowledge. Once the kingdom of deities has been established, there will be no need for this knowledge. God gives you devotees the fruit of your devotion which is happiness for half a cycle. Then, sorrow begins in the kingdom of Ravan. You gradually continue to come down the ladder.

When you are in the golden age, you have to come down the ladder with each day that passes. You become 16 celestial degrees full and then continue to come down the ladder. As each second ticks away you continue to come down. Time continues to pass and this is where you have reached! There, too, time will continue to pass in the same way. We climb up the ladder instantly. Then we climb down the ladder as slowly as a louse. The Father says: I am the One who grants salvation to everyone. Human beings cannot grant salvation to human beings because they are born through vice and are therefore impure.

In fact, only Krishna can be called a true mahatma (great soul). Those mahatmas here take birth through vice and then take up renunciation, whereas, there, they are deities and deities are always pure; they don't have any vices in them. That world is called the viceless world, whereas this world is called the vicious world where there is no purity. Their behaviour is very bad. The behaviour of the deities is very good. Everyone says namaste to them. Their character is very good, which is why impure human beings bow their heads in front of the pure deity idols.

There is now so much fighting and quarrelling. There is a great deal of chaos. There is not even enough space for people to live now. They want to reduce the population but that task belongs to the Father alone. There are very few human beings in the golden age. All the bodies will be burnt, and all the souls will return to their sweet home. Everyone definitely experiences punishment, numberwise.

Those who make full effort and become beads of the rosary of victory are liberated from punishment. The rosary is not only of one. The One who made them like that is represented by the Flower (Tassel). Then there is the dual-bead which represents the household path. The rosary is of couples; there is no rosary of singles. There is no rosary of sannyasis; they belong to the path of isolation. They cannot give knowledge to those on the household path. Their renunciation for becoming pure is limited. They are hatha yogis whereas this is Raja Yoga. The Father is teaching you Raja Yoga to enable you to claim a kingdom. The Father comes every 5000 years.

You rule in happiness for half a cycle and then you gradually become unhappy in the kingdom of Ravan. This is called a play of happiness and sorrow. You Pandavas are made victorious. You are now guides. You lead others on the pilgrimage of returning home. Human beings have been going on those pilgrimages for birth after birth. Your pilgrimage is now that of returning home. The Father comes and shows everyone the path to liberation and liberation-in-life. You will go to liberation-in-life and all the rest will go into liberation. After the cries of distress, there will be the cries of victory.

It is now the end of the iron age. Many calamities are to come. At that time you will not be able to stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance because there will be a great deal of chaos. Therefore, the Father says: Increase your pilgrimage of remembrance now so that your sins can be burnt away and you can accumulate for yourself. At least become satopradhan!

The Father says: I come at the auspicious confluence age of every cycle. This is the very small age of Brahmins. The topknot is the symbol of you Brahmins. You become Brahmins, deities, warriors, merchants and then shudras. This cycle continues to turn. The clan of you Brahmins is very small. The Father comes during this short age to teach you. You are His children, His students as well as His followers. You all belong to One. There is no human being who could be the Father or the Teacher who gives you teachings, gives you the knowledge of the beginning, middle and end of the world, or the One who takes you back with Him. There cannot be such a human being.

You now understand these aspects. Initially, in the golden age, the tree is very small. Everyone else will have gone to the land of peace. The Father is called the Bestower of Salvation for All. They call out to the Father: O Purifier Baba, come! On the other hand, they say that God is in pebbles and stones and in cats and dogs. They insult the unlimited Father. They defame the Father, the One who makes them into the masters of the world. This is called being influenced by the bad company of Ravan. The company of the Truth takes your boat across and the company of falsehood makes your boat sink. You begin to fall when the kingdom of Ravan begins. The Father comes and makes your stage ascend. The Father comes and changes you from human beings into deities. Therefore, there is benefit for everyone in this.

Almost everyone is now here and all of those who still remain up there will continue to come down. Until all the souls who are still in the incorporeal world have come down, you will continue to pass your examination, numberwise. This is called a spiritual college. The spiritual Father comes to teach you spiritual children. Then, when the kingdom of Ravan comes, you renounce your pure bodies and become impure kings and begin to bow your heads in front of the pure deity idols.

It is the soul that becomes pure and impure. When souls are impure, they receive impure bodies. When alloy is mixed into pure gold, the ornament made from that also has alloy. Now, how can alloy be removed from souls? The fire of yoga is needed through which your sins can be absolved. The alloys of silver, copper and iron have been mixed into souls. Souls were real gold; they have now become artificial. How can that alloy be removed?

 

This is the fire of yoga. You are sitting on the pyre of yoga. Previously, you were sitting on the pyre of lust. The Father seats you on the pyre of knowledge. No one, other than the Father, the Ocean of Knowledge, can seat you on the pyre of knowledge. Human beings continue to worship a great deal on the path of devotion, but they don't know any of those they worship. You have now come to know them. When you all become deities, every aspect of worshipping ends. The path of devotion begins when the kingdom of Ravan begins. 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 12, 2014: Happiness

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 12, 2014: Happiness

Romani Gypsy Dance

Happiness

It is the art of living, the purpose of our existence. Happiness is the true index of quality of life. Without happiness, life is dry and meaningless. With happiness, life immediately becomes fulfilling and wonderful. Happiness is an infectious feeling that immediately lifts the sagging spirits of people. Happy people keep themselves happy because they know the little ways to appreciate themselves and to see the humour and magic in each moment.

See Positivity

Usually negativity is very easily perceived and we tend to react to it.
At that time we are not able to see anything positive in the situation
or the person. Then, we only come under the influence of this
negativity. But this helps neither the other person nor me in anyway.
In order to enjoy everything that life brings my way, I need to start
looking at the positive aspects in everything. The ability to see
positivity will bring out this positivity more and more. Then I will be
able to further enjoy and experience the sweetness of life.

Meditation

Imagine you are walking along a crowded platform in a train station.

You know that where you want to go to is the other end of the platform where your train is waiting. You don't stop and talk to anyone on the way. If you did you would be delayed. You would fail to arrive at your train if you interacted with everyone on a platform that is continuously filled with new people. Meditation is exactly like this. Just as you cannot empty the platform of people just because you have a train to catch, you cannot just empty your mind of all thoughts just because you want to get to the destination (goal) or seat of your inner peace. Not at least until you are able to practice meditation correctly.

Remind yourself that you are not your thoughts, you are not your feelings, you are not your memories, you are not any of the voices in your head. You are the creator and they your creation, but they are not you. In fact they represent a platform of absolute strangers.

Soul Sustenance

What is Will Power?

The expression will-power is often used to refer to our ability to put into practice the ideas we know to be for our well-being and to resist actions (karmas)which are harmful. This is directly related to the soul's intellectual strength. When we speak of weakness or strength in the soul we are referring to the intellect. In the case of a weak soul (one with lower will-power) it is almost as if the intellect plays no part in determining which thoughts arise in the mind, but they come as if pushed by the sanskaras (mainly in the form of habits) or are triggered by the atmosphere around or the moods of others. On the contrary, a powerful soul (one with higher will-power) enjoys the experience of its own choice regardless of external stimuli (influence).

Rajyoga meditation develops the intellect to such an extent that this degree of control is possible. A practitioner of Rajyoga meditation can be in the midst of a situation of intense disturbance, yet remain so unshakably calm that the inner strength becomes a shelter and inspiration to others lacking in that strength. The weak soul is like a leaf at the mercy of the storm, the strong one, a rock in the face of a rough sea.

Message for the day

Success comes to the one who understands the importance of time.

Projection: When we are working at a task, success doesn't come as much as it should because we have not been able to recognize the importance of time. Because of this sometimes carelessness sets in which makes us lose valuable time and interferes in what we are doing. Then we cannot give our best to the task.

Solution: We need to recognize the importance of time so that we never postpone what we can do now. We will then always have the slogan 'now or never' in our mind. Knowing that what we can do now, we cannot do it as well in the future, we'll give our best to all we do right now. This will enable us to use our time in a fruitful way and success will come very easily to us.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Murli August 11, 2014

Essence of Murli August 11, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, stop performing sinful actions vikarm because you now have to begin the era when no sinful actions are performed. vikarmajeet sanvat

Question:   In what one aspect should every Brahmin child definitely follow the Father?

Answer: Just as the Father, Himself, becomes the Teacher and teaches you, so, each one of you has to become a teacher, like the Father. You have to teach others whatever you learn. You are teachers, children of the Teacher, and also satgurus, children of the Satguru. You have to establish the land of truth. You are sitting in the boat of truth. Your boat may rock, but it cannot sink. Hilegi, dulegi, dubegi nahi

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      In order to become the most elevated beings at this most auspicious confluence age, make effort to become soul conscious. You have found the true Father and so do not perform any untrue or unrighteous actions.

2.      Do not be afraid of the storms of Maya. Always remember that the boat of truth will rock, but it will not sink. Become satguru, children of the Satguru and take everyone's boat across.

Blessing:    May you constantly be in the company of truth (satsang) by staying in God's company and remain safe from being attacked by wrong company.

No matter how bad some company may be, your elevated company is many times more powerful than that. That company is nothing in front of God's company. All others are weak. However, when you yourself become weak, you are then attacked by bad company. Those who constantly stay in the company of the one Father, that is, those who constantly have the company of truth cannot be influenced by the colour of any other company. Wasteful matters and wasteful company, that is, bad company, cannot attract them.

The four pillars of Brahmin life are: celibacy brahmcharya, imbibing divine virtues, eating Brahma bhojan and being in the satsang. Jaisa ann vaisa man-as is the food, so is the mind-jaisa sang, vaisa rang- as is the company, so is the color or influence. So, Baba says, remain in the  company of truth (satsang) in God's company and  your boat will go across- it cannot sink.

Slogan:      Only those who transform anything bad into good buraai se achhaai can remain happy.prasannchit

 

Om shanti. The spiritual Father sits here and has a heart-to-heart conversation with you children. He talks with you spirits because this is new knowledge. This is new knowledge, that is, a study to change from human beings into deities. Who is teaching you this? You children know that it is the spiritual Father who is teaching you children through Brahma. You should not forget this. He is the Father and then He teaches you and so He is also the Teacher. You also know that you are studying for the new world. You should have faith in every aspect. It is only the Father who teaches you for the new world.

The main thing is the Father. The Father is giving these teachings through Brahma. He would give them through someone. It is also remembered: God teaches Raja Yoga through Brahma. He establishes the original eternal deity religion through Brahma. That deity religion doesn't exist now; it is the iron age now. So, this proves that heaven is being established. There are only those of the deity religion in heaven.

There won't be this many religions, that is, destruction will take place, because there are no other religions in the golden age. These things are in the intellects of you children. There are now innumerable religions. The Father is now making you into deities from human beings because it is now the confluence age. This is something very easy to explain.

They too show establishment through Brahma in the picture of the Trimurti. Of what? It would definitely be establishment of the new world; it cannot be establishment of the old world. You children have the faith that only the deities with divine virtues reside in the new world. We also have to imbibe divine virtues while living at home with our families.

First of all, we have to conquer lust and become viceless. Yesterday, we would go in front of the images of those deities and say: You are completely viceless whereas we are vicious. We would feel ourselves to be vicious because we used to indulge in vice. The Father now says: You have to become as viceless as them. You also have to imbibe divine virtues. If you have the vices of lust and anger, you cannot be said to have divine virtues. To indulge in vice and to get angry are devilish traits. Would deities have greed? The five vices do not exist there.

This is the world of Ravan. Ravan takes birth at the confluence of the silver and copper ages. Just as there is the confluence of the old world and the new world, so that too is a confluence of two ages. There is now a lot of sorrow and many illnesses in the kingdom of Ravan. This is called the kingdom of Ravan. They burn Ravan every year. While going on to the path of sin, they become vicious. You now have to become viceless. It is here that you have to imbibe divine virtues. Everyone receives the fruit of their actions. You children should not commit any sin now.

One is the king who is the conqueror of sinful actions (Vikarmajeet) and the other is the king who performs sinful actions (Vikram). This is the era of sinful actions, that is, it is the period of Ravan and the vicious ones vikaari . Neither does anyone understand this, nor does anyone know the duration of the cycle. In fact, deities are conquerors of sinful actions. In 5000 years, there are 2500 years of King Vikram and 2500 years of King Vikarmajeet. Although those people say that half the cycle is of King Vikram, they don't understand anything. You say that the period of King Vikarmajeet begins with the year one, and then, after 2500 years, the period of King Vikram begins. The period of King Vikram is now to end and you are now becoming emperors and empresses who are conquerors of sinful actions. When you have become that, the period of King Vikarmajeet will begin. Only you know these things.

They ask you: Why have you made Brahma sit here? Oh!, but why are you bothered about that? It is not this one who is teaching us. We are studying with Shiv Baba and this one too is studying with that One. The One who is teaching us is the Ocean of Knowledge. He is without an image.vichitr He doesn't have an image,chitr that is, He doesn't have a body. He is called the Incorporeal One. All Incorporeal souls reside there. They then come here and become corporeal. Everyone remembers the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He is the Father of souls. A physical father would not be called the Supreme. This is something to understand.

School students pay attention to their studies. When someone has become a barrister etc. and claimed his status, his study ends. It isn't that he would still continue to study after becoming a barrister. No, his study then ends. You too don't need to study after you have become deities. The kingdom of deities continues for 2500 years. Only you children know these things. You then have to explain to others. You should also be concerned that if you don't teach others, how you could be called a teacher! You all are teachers. Since you are children of the Teacher, all of you have to become teachers. So many teachers are needed to teach this. Just as the Father is the Teacher and the Satguru, similarly, you too are teachers. You are also satgurus, children of the Satguru. Those people are not satgurus. They are gurus, children of a guru. "Sat" means the truth.

Bharat used to be called the land of truth. This is the land of falsehood. Baba alone establishes the land of truth. He is the true Sai Baba. When the real Father comes, false ones also emerge. It is remembered: Storms will come and the boat will rock, but it will not sink. It is explained to you children that many storms of Maya will come. You must not be afraid of them. Sannyasis never say to you: Storms of Maya will come. They don't know where they will take the boat across to. You children know that you cannot receive salvation through devotion. People continue to come down even though they say that God comes and gives them the fruit of their devotion. Devotion definitely has to be performed. Achcha, what fruit of devotion does God come and give? He would surely grant salvation.People say this but they don't know when or how He will grant it. If you ask anyone, they would say that it has continued eternally, that it has continued from time immemorial.

When did they begin to burn an effigy of Ravan? They would say: From the beginning of time. When you explain to them, they say that your knowledge is new. Those who understood this in the previous cycle will quickly understand it. Leave aside Brahma. The birth of Shiva does take place and they refer to this as Shiva Ratri (Night of Shiva). The Father explains: My birth is divine and unique. I do not take birth like ordinary human beings because they all take birth through a womb; they become bodily beings. I do not enter a womb. No one, except the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, the Ocean of Knowledge, can give this knowledge. No human being can be called the Ocean of Knowledge. This praise belongs to only the incorporeal One.

The incorporeal Father teaches and explains to you souls. You children have become body conscious while playing your parts in the kingdom of Ravan. You have forgotten the knowledge of it being the soul that does everything. These are the organs. I am a soul and, if I want, I can make these organs work or not. In the incorporeal world souls remain seated there without bodies. You now know your home. Those people consider the home to be God. They are those who have knowledge of the brahm element brahm gyani and other elements tatv gyani . They say: We will merge into the brahm element. If they said that they will reside in the brahm element, then God would be separate, but they consider the brahm element to be God. This is also fixed in the drama.

They even forget the Father. Should you not remember the Father who makes you into the masters of the world, because He is the One who creates heaven? You are now the most auspicious confluence-aged Brahmins. You are now becoming the most elevated human beings.uttam purush  The lowest human beings kanisht bow down in front of the highest beings. They go to the temples of the deities and sing so much praise.

You now know that we are becoming deities once again. This is something very simple. The variety-form image has been explained to you. There is also the variety cycle. Those people simply remember the Brahmins, deities and warriors. There are the images of Lakshmi and Narayan. The Father comes and corrects everyone. He is also correcting you because whatever you have been doing on the path of devotion for birth after birth was wrong. That is why you became tamopradhan.

This is the unrighteous world. There is nothing but sorrow here because it is the kingdom of Ravan; all are vicious. The kingdom of Ravan is unrighteous whereas the kingdom of Rama is righteous. This is the iron age and that is the golden age. This is something to be understood. Have you ever seen that One taking up any scriptures? He has given you His own knowledge and has also given you an explanation of creation. Those who study the scriptures and relate them to others have the scriptures in their intellects. So, the Bestower of Happiness for All is the one Shiv Baba. He alone is the highest-on-high Father. He is called the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul.

The unlimited Father definitely gives you an unlimited inheritance. You became residents of heaven 5000 years ago, and you are now residents of hell. The Father is called Rama; not that Rama (of the silver age) whose Sita was abducted. He was not the Bestower of Salvation; that Rama was a king, he was not even an emperor. The difference between an emperor maharaja and a king raja has also been explained to you. That one is 16 celestial degrees and this one is 14 degrees. In the kingdom of Ravan, too, there are emperors and kings. Those are very wealthy and the others are less wealthy. They cannot be called those of the sun dynasty or the moon dynasty. Amongst them, the wealthy ones receive the title of emperor. Those who are less wealthy receive the title of king.

It is now the rule of the people over the people. There is no Lord or Master. The subjects used to consider their king to be their provider, the bestower of food, but that too has now disappeared. Now look at the condition of people! There is so much fighting and quarrelling etc. You now have all the knowledge from the beginning to the end in your intellects. The Father, the Creator, is now here in a practical way and then there will be a story made of this on the path of devotion. You too are now here in a practical way. You will rule for half the cycle, and it will later just become a story. The images of you still remain. Ask anyone when those ones ruled and they would reply that it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Sannyasis belong to the path of isolation. You belong to the pure household ashram, pavitr gruhast ashram and you then have to go to the impure household ashram. No one knows about the happiness of heaven. Those on the path of isolation cannot teach anything about the family path. Previously, they used to reside in the forests and they had that power. Food used to be taken to them in the forests. Now, they don't have any power left.

Similarly, you had the power to rule there, but where is that power now? You are the same ones, are you not? You no longer have that power. The original religion of the people of Bharat does not exist now. There is now irreligion. The Father says: I come and carry out establishment of religion and destroy irreligiousness. I take those who have become irreligious adharmi into religion. All the rest that remain will be destroyed.

Nevertheless, the Father explains to you all: Give everyone the Father's introduction. The Father alone is called the Remover of Sorrow and the Bestower of Happiness. It is only when you become very unhappy that the Father then comes and makes you happy. This play is eternally predestined. 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.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 11, 2014: A Calm Mind

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 11, 2014: A Calm Mind

A Calm Mind

Don't give your mind permission to get disturbed. A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine. Then it becomes easy to recognize useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and divine.

Listen and Learn

It is a normal habit for all of us to talk more and listen less. We
always want to put forth our ideas and don't have the patience or the
inclination to hear what others have to say. Because of this we are
not able to learn but continue to do things in the same way as we used
to. In order to be able to learn we need to be open and listen from
everything that happens. The more we are able to listen, the more we
are able to learn, because each situation and each person has something
new to teach us. When we continue to learn we continue to experience
constant progress.

Maintaining Your Self Esteem In Relationships

When a person is in love with another human, the marvelous thing about being in love is that it is a totally positive projection. There is a person who projects on to you all that is positive: you are marvelous, you are unique, you are indispensable, you are a treasure. That positive projection generates a euphoric state, of bliss, of wellbeing, whereby you are flying. You feel loved, cared for, needed and valued. That positive projection lasts for a time until, with the dependencies and expectations, the negative projection begins. "You should have called me, you should have told me, you should have come at this time, you should be more like this, you should be less like that, you should have done this or that."

With these expectations, demands and dependencies, that positive projection and flying state disappear. The other has started interfering in your personal space and the harmony that was there previously is lost. One needs to learn to have a positive vision of oneself. You are marvelous, you are unique; don't depend on them telling you so. This does not mean you need to feed your ego, but that you need to make the most positive emerge from within you. Resort to all your creative, positive, spiritual capacity, so that you do not depend on others having to project positive things onto you in order to feel good. On feeling good in an independent and autonomous way, you will be able to share with others peace, love and positivism. You won't be in the state of a victim but will be true rulers and controllers of your own life with solid self-esteem.

Soul Sustenance

What is Will Power?

The expression will-power is often used to refer to our ability to put into practice the ideas we know to be for our well-being and to resist actions (karmas)which are harmful. This is directly related to the soul's intellectual strength. When we speak of weakness or strength in the soul we are referring to the intellect. In the case of a weak soul (one with lower will-power) it is almost as if the intellect plays no part in determining which thoughts arise in the mind, but they come as if pushed by the sanskaras (mainly in the form of habits) or are triggered by the atmosphere around or the moods of others. On the contrary, a powerful soul (one with higher will-power) enjoys the experience of its own choice regardless of external stimuli (influence).

Rajyoga meditation develops the intellect to such an extent that this degree of control is possible. A practitioner of Rajyoga meditation can be in the midst of a situation of intense disturbance, yet remain so unshakeably calm that the inner strength becomes a shelter and inspiration to others lacking in that strength. The weak soul is like a leaf at the mercy of the storm, the strong one, a rock in the face of a rough sea.

Message for the day
Success comes to the one who understands the importance of time.

Projection: When we are working at a task, success doesn't come as much as it should because we have not been able to recognise the importance of time. Because of this sometimes carelessness sets in which makes us lose valuable time and interferes in what we are doing. Then we cannot give our best to the task.

Solution: We need to recognise the importance of time so that we never postpone what we can do now. We will then always have the slogan 'now or never' in our mind. Knowing that what we can do now, we cannot do it as well in the future, we'll give our best to all we do right now. This will enable us to use our time in a fruitful way and success will come very easily to us.

The deep philosophy of sin and charity

Paap aur punya ki guhya gati

 

 

Understand the deep philosophy of sin and charity. When you become a child of the Father and claim your right to an inheritance, you become a charitable soul. Good wishes increase your account of charity. Let your feelings and motives be constantly elevated and you will become a constantly charitable soul.

 

1.   Sin deprives you of your elevated fortune.

2.   Sin is also committed through thoughts.

3.   Any wasteful words for any soul also accumulate in the account of sin.

4.   In action, if, instead of having good wishes in your relationships
and connections, you have any other feelings, then that too accumulates in your account of sin, because it is also a form of causing sorrow for others.

5.   Wasteful feelings, feelings of dislike or jealousy increase your account of sin.

6.   After belonging to the Father, your burden of sin becomes one hundred-fold. Therefore, do not become so careless!

 

Effort:

1.   Become world servers and remain aware of the huge task for which you have become instruments.

2.   Let go of wasteful matters and become embodiments of power.

3.   Hear no evil, see no evil, think no evil! Now, the Father says: Hear no waste! Speak no waste! Think no waste!

4.   Always have good wishes and pure feelings in your thoughts.

5.   Speak auspicious words.

6.   Pay attention to the disciplines of Brahmin life.

7.   Constantly keep the maryadas (code of conduct) in front of you.

8.   Keep the knowledge of both sin and charity in your intellect. Check that whilst you are called a charitable soul, you are not committing any sin through your thoughts, words or deeds.

9.   Check that you did not defame the Father’s name or His knowledge through any type of wrong behaviour.

 

Special practice to serve the world through attitude, vibrations and remembrance:

 

1.   Be always ever ready

2.   Stabilize in a constant stage.

3.   Go beyond this world of noise and become a resident of the world beyond sound in one second.

4.   Practice remaining stable beyond sound and of receiving all attainments.

5.   Experience yourself to be an embodiment of imperishable happiness and have a cheerful and entertaining stage ramnik avastha whilst being beyond stage.

6.   Together with being silent, experience of the stage of being extremely silent as well as extremely cheerful and entertaining.

 

Transformation of the self means transformation of many others. In this, you should think, “I first”. There is great pleasure maja in this dying alive marjeeva. This is known as the great sacrifice. mahabali  Do not be afraid. Die in happiness. This dying is the real living. This is the true donation of life.
