Daily Positive Thoughts: September 26, 2014: Peace Is Not Passive

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 26, 2014: Peace Is Not Passive


 
Golden Bay, New Zealand

Peace Is Not Passive
Peace is not a passive attitude; it is an active state. It requires having constant attention in order to live and to respond as a peaceful being to any upset in life.

Training the Mind

Whenever we need to think positive in a situation, we try to force the
mind to think in that way. We try to force the mind into thinking what
we desire. Yet the mind, at that time, is not capable of doing that.
So we don't find any positive result of our attempt and in fact, we
find ourselves more into negativity. We need to be a mother to our
mind. We need to teach our mind to think the right kind of thoughts. Even when everything is going fine, we need to train the mind. A
positive thought taken every day and spending time with it brings good
results. This training makes the mind obedient to us at the time of
need and we are able to be positive in the most negative situation.


Inculcating Powers Though Meditation -
The Power To Pack Up (cont.)




As I progress on my spiritual journey, even thoughts that waste the precious resources of the mind come to be seen as a barrier. Turning a scene over in my mind repeatedly is an example of waste, that will rob me of the mental concentration and emotional stability I need to keep moving forward. Sometimes we do get stuck, like a broken record, in such mental grooves, without realizing what we are doing.

The power of pack up means I recognize the damage caused by such waste, and put an end to it. As I renew the awareness of myself as a soul, in relationship with the Supreme Soul, the needle of my attention is lifted above the groove, letting me come fully into the present.

I also learn to be selective in what I choose to remember or forget from the past. This is not dishonest; in fact, it is being honest to my task. Human beings in any case have highly selective memories. We not only see and understand differently, according to our individual interests and agendas, but our attitudes and perception also determine the memories we choose to store.

Meditation enables me to exercise this option quite deliberately, picking up those scenes from the past that nourish me and help me move forward, and rejecting memories that pollute my mind and slow me down.

Soul Sustenance

The Fifth Phase/Age Of Humanity (cont.)

When we see and realize the significance of this current Age, the fifth Age or the Confluence Age (Sangamyug), we also find greater clarity in our life's purpose. It becomes obvious that the world will not become a better place through more resistance or conflict; this only adds to the sum of fear and anger in the world. To fight for peace is a false belief which has taken over the human mind. To think that peace comes from conflict, or that conflict is necessary to achieve peace, is to think right comes from wrong. Deep change is an incognito process (process which cannot be seen) within individual souls. Through meditation or yoga (union), we awaken and restore our true, peaceful selves; we absorb the light of truth and love from the Supreme and we are spiritually empowered. This we can then share with others. As we radiate our spiritual energy and reflect the light of God into the world in gentle and humble ways, the effects of our self-change reach out to other souls as an invitation to do the same.

The nagging questions which must enter most minds at least once in a lifetime (such as * Why me? * Why here? and * Why now?) are answered - our highest purpose is to help others know themselves as they truly are i.e. souls and to help in reconnecting them to the Supreme. This is why simply sitting in meditation, generating and radiating vibrations which are peaceful and loving, can help to heal others and the world itself. That is our primary responsibility at the Confluence Age. When we take up this responsibility we assist the Supreme in his task at the Confluence Age, i.e. bringing about the Golden Age.



Message for the day

To recognise the uniqueness of my own personality is to be free from negative influence.

Projection: The one who is aware of one's own uniqueness is able to create a strong influence on others of his own personality. So, such a person is not negatively influenced by anyone's personality traits. Even when there is a person with a very strong personality, he is still able to be free from negative influence.

Solution: When I am able to recognise and use the specialities that are within me, I am able to remain powerful within. In all circumstances and with all people I experience this innate power. Because I am constantly in touch with my own specialities, I am able to be light and happy.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris



Essence of Murli (H&E): September 25, 2014


Essence of Murli (H&E): September 25, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, you are living stars (chaitanya sitaare) of the earth. You have to give light to the whole world.

Question: How does Shiv Baba make the bodies of you children pure (kanchan kaaya)?

Answer: He gives you the milk of knowledge through Mother Brahma and makes your bodies pure. This is why it is sung in His praise: You are the Mother and You are the Father (twamev mataashch pita twamev). You are now drinking the milk of knowledge through Mother Brahma through which all your sins will be cut away and you will become pure.

Essence for dharna:

1.      Continue to caution one another in order to make the soul pure. Give the signal (ishaara) of manmanabhav. Become pure with the power of yoga and become a sparkling (chamakdaar) star.

2.      Understand this unlimited, predestined play very well and become a spinner of the discus of self-realization. Give the ointment of knowledge (gyan anjan) to human beings and remove them from the extreme darkness of ignorance.

Blessing: May you be filled with the specialty of the royalty of purity and thereby reveal (jhalak) this elevated life.

The specialty of Brahmin life is the royalty of purity. Just as when you are able to tell from the face and behaviour of someone that he or she is from a royal family, similarly, Brahmin life is recognized by the sparkle of purity. The sparkle of purity is visible in the behaviour and on the face when there is no name or trace of impurity even in your thoughts. Purity is not just observing the vow of celibacy, but there should be no influence of any vice, that is, from anything impure and you would then be said to be a Brahmin soul who is filled with that specialty. 

Today, from the blessing we can also infer:

Not only become a brahmchaari (celibate), but also a brahmaachaari (follower of Brahma). Have purity in thoughts, words and actions too. Do as you say, and say as you think. Have equanimity in all three. For Brahmins of the confluence age, royalty begins with purity; purity manifesting in practical life. We are not born into royalty, but acquire royalty by being pure. This royalty carries into the next cycle, where the soul is born in a royal family. By making the dharma of purity your personal dharna in life, you become great and the masters of the pure world.

Remain as pure as a lotus flower while on a family path and keep the vow of purity firm till the very end in this last birth. Become pure and do the service of making others pure.   Become soul conscious   by donating the five vices and by being beyond the consciousness of the body.  By having accurate knowledge, accurate yoga, accurate dharna and using the right methods at the right time, become the images of divine virtues of the Brahmin clan. With your activities, behaviour, characters and faces (chaal, chalan, charitr, chehara), you will  show the royalty of purity and the sparkle of purity, and become the future royal princes and princesses of the sun and moon and deity dynasties...

 
Slogan: Those who have self-realization (sw-darshan)  remain constantly happy and have a right to all attainments. (sada prasann chit aur sarv praapti ke adhikaari)

Points to churn from the slogan:

We, the souls with authority over Maya, the constant spinners of the discus of self realization in the present time, constantly remain under the canopy in the future, and claim a right to the unlimited inheritance of the Father... we are the easy yogis who emerge the powers, the knowledge and virtues, happiness, peace, bliss and love, and all the different attainments received from God in our intellects, and experience happiness...  

We are the spinners of the discus of self realization with a canopy of light, and a disc (halo) of light... By constantly being merged in the love for the One Father, and by considering the one Father to be our entire world, we easily remain in the experience of belonging to the one Father and none other...in return for the Father’s love, we remain complete with all attainments and content at every moment... Instead of being full of questions (prashn), we renounce any desire to hear praise (prashansa) and become full of happiness (prasann)...
 

There is nothing lacking in our Brahmin lives...We are complete and perfect by emerging all our attainments from the beginning till now and becoming the embodiments of awareness... by continuing to use the knowledge and the powers received from God for ourselves and for other souls, we experience ourselves to be embodiments of all attainments...according to Godly principle, the more the attainment of the present time is used, the more it will increase...we are constantly happy, prosperous with the fortune of happiness,  with good kismet and radiant faces,  not being deceived at any time of need; that is, we are saved from sorrow...by using all the attainments, and by knowing the method, together with having love, we become the master oceans of knowledge, master oceans of powers, master oceans of happiness and master oceans of all attainments...
 

Points from the Murli:

1.   The spiritual Father sits here and explains: Just as there are the stars of the sky also called celestial deities (nakshtr devta), so, it is also remembered of you that you are the stars of the earth (dharti ke sitaare). Those stars give light to the stage, but they cannot be called deities. You are now becoming deities. You are the ones who enlighten the whole world.  

2.   The Father is giving you children the ointment of knowledge (gyan anjan). You were sleeping in the sleep of ignorance. The Father has come to awaken you once again. It is said to you alone: Salutations to the celestial deities. From worshippers, you are now becoming worthy of worship (pujaari se pujya). 

3.   A soul is called a soul, but many names are given to the body. Just think about it: this is an unlimited play. That which is predestined is taking place (bani banaai ban rahi). It is nothing new. This is the eternally predestined drama which continues to turn. All souls are actors. 

4.   When you were shudras, you were human beings, and now that you have become Brahmins, you are still human beings and when you become deities, you will still be human beings. However, it is the character that changes. When Ravan comes, your character is spoilt so much.  

5.   This is called the battlefield. Each one of you is an independent soldier on the battlefield. Each one of you can now make as much effort as you want. It is a student's duty to make effort. 

6.    You also have to learn how to hunt. First of all, you learn how to hunt small prey. Strength is needed to hunt bigger prey. The prey that is now hunted is small prey. Great, big wealthy people think that this is heaven for them. Only the poor come and claim their inheritance. They say: Baba, You alone and no one else are mine. However, that can only be when attachment is broken away from the whole world.

सार:-   मीठे बच्चे - तुम हो धरती के चैतन्य सितारे, तुम्हें सारे विश्व को रोशनी देना है”                      
प्रश्न:-  शिवबाबा तुम बच्चों की काया को कंचन कैसे बनाते हैं?

उत्तर:- ब्रह्मा माँ के द्वारा तुम्हें ज्ञान दूध पिलाकर तुम्हारी काया कंचन कर देते हैं, इसलिए उनकी महिमा में गाते हैं, त्वमेंव माताश्च पिता....... अभी तुम ब्रह्मा माँ द्वारा ज्ञान दूध पी रहे हो, जिससे तुम्हारे सब पाप कट जायेंगे । कंचन बन जायेंगे । 

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार:-

1. आत्मा को कंचन बनाने के लिए एक-दो को सावधान करना है । मनमनाभव का इशारा देना है । योगबल से पवित्र बन चमकदार सितारा बनना है ।  

2. इस बेहद के बने बनाये नाटक को अच्छी रीति समझकर स्वदर्शन चक्रधारी बनना है । ज्ञान अजंन देकर मनुष्यों को अज्ञान के घोर अंधकार से निकालना है । 

वरदान:- प्योरिटी की रॉयल्टी द्वारा श्रेष्ठ जीवन की झलक दिखाने वाले विशेषता सम्पन्न भव ! 

ब्राह्मण जीवन की विशेषता है प्योरिटी की रॉयल्टी । जैसे रायॅल फैमिली वालों के चेहरे और चलन से मालूम पड़ता है कि यह कोई रॉयल कुल का है, ऐसे ब्राह्मण जीवन की परख प्योरिटी की झलक से होती है । प्योरिटी की झलक चलन और चेहरे से तब दिखाई देगी जब संकल्प में भी अपवित्रता का नाम निशान न हो । पवित्रता सिर्फ ब्रह्मचर्य व्रत नहीं लेकिन किसी भी विकार अर्थात् अशुद्धि का प्रभाव न हो तब कहेंगे विशेषता सम्पन्न ब्राह्मण आत्मा ।  

स्लोगन:-  जो स्व का दर्शन करते हैं वही सदा प्रसन्नचित, सर्व प्राप्ति के अधिकारी रहते हैं ।

Om shanti. The spiritual Father sits here and explains: Just as there are the stars of the sky, so, it is also remembered of you that you are the stars of the earth (dharti ke sitaare). They are also called celestial deities (nakshtr devta). In fact, they are not deities. You are much more powerful than them because you stars enlighten the whole world. You are the ones who will become deities. The rise and fall  (utthaan aur patan) that takes place is yours. Those stars give light to the stage, but they cannot be called deities. You are now becoming deities. You are the ones who enlighten the whole world. There is now extreme darkness over the whole world. Everyone has become impure. The Father has now come to make you sweetest children into deities. Human beings consider everyone to be a deity- they even say that the sun is a deity. In some places, they even hoist a flag of the sun and call themselves the sun dynasty. In fact, you are the sun dynasty. The Father sits here and explains to you children. There is now only extreme darkness in Bharat. There now has to be only light in Bharat. The Father is giving you children the ointment of knowledge (gyan anjan). You were sleeping in the sleep of ignorance. The Father has come to awaken you once again. He says: According to the drama plan, I come once again at the most auspicious confluence age of every cycle. This most auspicious confluence age is not mentioned in the scriptures. Only you children now know about this age since you are now becoming the stars and then the deities. It is said to you alone: Salutations to the celestial deities. From worshippers, you are now becoming worthy of worship (pujaari se pujya). There, you are worthy of worship. This has to be understood. This is called a spiritual study. There cannot be a battle between anyone in this. The Teacher teaches in an ordinary way and the children study in an ordinary way. There is no question of a battle in this. This one doesn't say that he is God. Only you children know that the One teaching you is incorporeal Shiv Baba. He doesn't have a body of His own. He says: I take this chariot on loan. Why is he called “The Lucky chariot? (Bhaagirath)” Because he is a very, very fortunate chariot (bhaagyshaali rath). He is the one who becomes the master of the world, and so he is Bhagirath, The Lucky Chariot. The meaning of everything has to be understood. This is the greatest study of all. In the world, there is nothing but falsehood. It is said that the boat of truth will rock, but it will not sink.
Nowadays, many types of God have emerged. Let alone themselves, they even say that the pebbles and stones are God! They have made God wander around so much! The Father sits here and explains just as a physical father would explain to his children. However, such a father would not also be a teacher and a  guru. A child first takes birth to a father, and then, when he grows a little older, he needs a teacher to teach him. A guru is then needed after the age of 60. That One alone is the Father, Teacher and Satguru. He says: I am the Father of you souls. It is the soul that studies. A soul is called a soul, but many names are given to the body. Just think about it: this is an unlimited play. That which is predestined is taking place (bani banaai ban rahi). It is nothing new. This is the eternally predestined drama which continues to turn. All souls are actors.
Where do souls reside? You would say: We are residents of our home, the supreme abode, and we then come here to play our unlimited parts. The Father always resides there. He does not take rebirth. The Father, the Creator, now tells you the essence of Himself and creation. He calls you children “Spinners of the discus of self-realization”. No one else can understand the meaning of this because they think that Vishnu is the Spinner of the discus of self-realization. So, they ask: Why are you calling human beings this?
Only you know this. When you were shudras, you were human beings, and now that you have become Brahmins, you are still human beings and when you become deities, you will still be human beings.
However, it is the character that changes. When Ravan comes, your character is spoilt so much. Those vices do not exist in the golden age. The Father is now telling you children the story of immortality. You have heard so many stories on the path of devotion. They say that the Lord of Immortality told the story of immortality to Parvati. However, it would surely have been Shankar who related the story to her. How could Shiva tell it? So many human beings go to listen to it. The Father sits here and tells you the things of the path of devotion. The Father doesn't say that devotion is bad. No, but it is the eternal drama that is explained to you. The Father now says: Firstly, consider yourself to be a soul. This is the main thing. God speaks: Manmanabhav! What is the meaning of that? The Father sits here and tells you the meaning through this mouth and so this is the Gaumukh. It is also explained that it is to that One that you say: You are the Mother and You are the Father. Therefore, He has adopted all of you through this mother. Shiv  Baba says: I give you the milk of knowledge through this mouth and so all your sins are burnt away and you souls become pure. So, you then receive pure bodies. Souls become completely pure and they then gradually continue to come down the ladder. You souls have now understood that you were pure and that your bodies were also pure and that, according to the drama, you then came into the cycle of 84 births. You are now no longer pure. It would now be said to be nine carat. Only a small percentage now remains. You cannot say that it disappears completely, a little peace still remains. The Father has given you this sign. The image of Lakshmi and Narayan is number one. The whole cycle has now entered your intellects. The introduction of the Father has also entered them. Although you souls have not become completely pure, you have the Father's introduction in your intellects. The Father shows you the way to become pure. How can the alloy that is in souls be removed? There is the pilgrimage of remembrance for that. This is called the battlefield. Each one of you is an independent soldier on the battlefield. Each one of you can now make as much effort as you want. It is a student's duty to make effort. Wherever you go, continue to caution one another: Manmanabhav! Do you remember Shiv Baba? Just give this signal to one another. The Father's study is the signal and this is why the Father says: Your body becomes pure in just a second. I make you into the masters of the world. When you become the children of the Father you become the masters of the world. Then, there is also the sovereignty of the world. The effort you have to make is to claim a high status in that but, otherwise, there is liberation-in-life in a second. This is right. It is up to each one to make effort. Continue to remember the Father and you souls will become completely pure. You will become satopradhan and become the masters of the satopradhan world. You have become satopradhan from tamopradhan so many times. This cycle continues to turn; it never ends. The Father sits here and explains so well. He says: I come every cycle. You children invite Me into the dirty world. What invitation do you give Me? You say: We have become impure and so come and purify us! It is such a wonderful invitation of yours! You say: Take us to the land of peace and the land of happiness, and so I am your obedient Servant.
This is also the play of the drama. You understand that you study the same thing every cycle and play your parts. It is the soul that plays his part. Whilst sitting here, the Father is looking at souls. He looks at the stars. Souls are so tiny. It is as though there is the sparkle (jhilmil) of stars. Some stars are very bright and others are dim. Some are closer to the moon. You too are becoming very pure with the power of yoga and so you sparkle. Baba also says: I will give a flower to those who are very good stars amongst you children. You children also know one another. Some are really very strong, and some are weak. Those stars cannot be called deities. You too are human beings. However, the Father makes you souls pure and makes you into the masters of the world. The Father gives you so much might as an inheritance. He is the Almighty Father.
The Father says: I give you children so much might. It is also sung: Shiv Baba, You sit here and change us from human beings into deities through this study. Wonderful! No one else makes us that. The study is your source of income. The whole sky and earth etc. become ours. No one can snatch that away from us. It is called the unshakeable kingdom. No one can damage it, no one can burn it. So you should follow the shrimat of such a Father. Each one of you has to make your own individual effort. Children build museums etc. so that you can explain to your equals with those pictures. The Father continues to give you directions: You can create whatever pictures you want. Everyone's intellect works. These are made to benefit human beings. You know that anyone can go to a centre, so what method should you create so that people come by themselves to take this sweet? When someone's sweets are very good they are advertised (by those who have tasted them). All of them would tell others: Go to such-and-such a shop. This is the best, number one sweet. No one else can give such a sweet. When someone sees it, he goes and tells others. Of course you would think about how the whole of Bharat can go to the golden age. You explain so much for that, but they have stone intellects, and so it does take effort. You also have to learn how to hunt. First of all, you learn how to hunt small prey. Strength is needed to hunt bigger prey. There are so many great scholars who have studied the Vedas and scriptures. They consider themselves to be such great authorities. In Benares, they receive such big titles. This is why Baba explained: First of all, do service by surrounding everyone in Benares. When the sound of prominent people emerges, others will then listen. No one listens to the juniors. You have to explain to the lions who consider themselves to be authorities of the scriptures. They are given such big titles. Even Shiv Baba doesn't have so many titles. It is the kingdom of the path of devotion, and then it becomes the kingdom of the path of knowledge. There is no devotion on the path of knowledge. Then, there is absolutely no knowledge in devotion. So the Father explains all of this. The Father looks at all of you with the understanding that all of you sitting here are stars. You have to renounce the consciousness of the body. Just as there is the sparkle of stars up above, so too, there is a sparkle here. 
Some have become those who have a very bright light. They are the stars of the earth who are called deities. This is such a big unlimited stage. The Father explains: That is a limited night and day. This is the night of half the cycle and the day of half the cycle. It is unlimited. In the day, there is nothing but happiness; there is no need to stumble anywhere. In knowledge, there is happiness whereas in devotion, there is sorrow.
There is no mention of sorrow in the golden age. There is no death there. You conquer death. There is no mention of death. That is the land of immortality. You know that the Father is telling you the story of immortality for the land of immortality. You sweetest children now have all the knowledge of the whole cycle in your intellects from the very beginning. You know that the home of you souls is the brahm element. You come here from there, numberwise, to play your parts. There are so many souls. The Father would not sit and talk about each and every one individually. He tells you everything in a nutshell. There are so many branches. The tree grows as the branches continue to emerge. There are many who don't even know about their own religion. The Father comes and explains: Originally, you belong to the deity religion.
However, you have now become corrupt in your religion and action. It is now in the intellects of you  children that you were originally residents of the land of peace and that you then came here to play your parts. It used to be the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan; it was their dynasty. You are now at the confluence age. The Father has told you that you were the sun dynasty and that you then became the moon dynasty; then, in between, there are by-plots. This is the unlimited play. This is such a small tree. This is the Brahmin clan. It will then become so big that you will not even be able to see or meet everyone. You continue to surround everyone (service). The Father says: Surround everyone in Delhi and Benares. He then says: You are the ones who will surround the whole world. You establish the one kingdom over the entire world with the power of yoga, and so you should have so much happiness. Some continue to go to one place and others to another place. No one listens to you now. When important people come and that is printed in the newspapers, they will then understand. The prey that is now hunted is small prey. Great, big wealthy people think that this is heaven for them. Only the poor come and claim their inheritance. They say: Baba, You alone and no one else are mine. However, that can only be when attachment is broken away from the whole world. 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 say namaste to the spiritual Father.
ओम् शान्ति |
रूहानी बाप बैठ समझाते हैं जैसे आसमान में सितारे हैं वैसे तुम बच्चों के लिए भी गाया जाता है-यह धरती के सितारे हैं । उनको भी नक्षत्र देवता कहा जाता है । अभी वह कोई देवता तो हैं नहीं । तो तुम उनसे महान बलवान हो क्योंकि तुम सितारे सारे विश्व को रोशन करते हो । तुम ही देवता बनने वाले हो । तुम्हारा ही उत्थान और पतन होता है । वह तो करके माण्डवे के लिए रोशनी देते हैं, उनको कोई देवता नहीं कहेंगे । तुम देवता बन रहे हो । तुम सारे विश्व को रोशन करने वाले हो । अभी सारे विश्व पर घोर अन्धियारा है । पतित बन पड़े हैं । अभी बाप तुम मीठे-मीठे बच्चों को देवता बनाने आते हैं । मनुष्य लोग तो सबको देवता समझ लेते हैं । सूर्य को भी देवता कह देते हैं । कहाँ-कहाँ सूर्य का झण्डा भी लगाते हैं । अपने को सूर्यवंशी भी कहलाते हैं । वास्तव में तुम सूर्यवशी हो ना । तो बाप बैठ तुम बच्चों को समझाते हैं । भारत में ही घोर अन्धियारा हुआ है । अब भारत में ही सोझरा चाहिए । बाप तुम बच्चों को ज्ञान अंजन दे रहे हैं । तुम अज्ञान नींद में सोये पड़े थे, बाप आकर फिर से जगाते हैं । कहते हैं ड्रामा के प्लैन अनुसार कल्प-कल्प के पुरूषोत्तम संगमयुगे मैं फिर से आता हूँ । यह पुरूषोत्तम संगमयुग कोई भी शास्त्र में है नहीं । इस युग को अभी तुम बच्चे ही जानते हो, जबकि तुम सितारे फिर देवता बनते हो । तुमको ही कहेंगे नक्षत्र देवताए नम: । अभी तुम पुजारी से पूज्य बनते हो । वहाँ तुम पूज्य बन जाते हो, यह भी समझने का है ना । इसको रूहानी पढ़ाई कहा जाता है । इसमें कभी किसकी लड़ाई नहीं होती । टीचर साधारण रीति पढ़ाते हैं और बच्चे भी साधारण रीति पढ़ते हैं । इसमें कभी कोई लड़ाई की बात ही नहीं । यह ऐसे थोड़ेही कहते हैं कि मैं भगवान हूँ । तुम बच्चे भी जानते हो पढ़ाने वाला इनकारपोरियल शिवबाबा है । उनको अपना शरीर नहीं है । कहते हैं मैं इस रथ का लोन लेता हूँ । भागीरथ भी क्यों कहते हैं? क्योंकि बहुत-बहुत भाग्यशाली रथ है । यही फिर विश्व का मालिक बनते हैं तो भागीरथ ठहरा ना । तो सबका अर्थ समझना चाहिए ना । यह है सबसे बड़ी पढ़ाई । दुनिया में तो झूठ ही झूठ है ना । कहावत भी है ना-सच की नईया डोले.... आजकल तो अनेक प्रकार के भगवान निकल पड़े हैं । अपने को तो छोड़ो परन्तु ठिक्कर भित्तर को भी भगवान कह देते हैं । भगवान को कितना भटका दिया है । बाप बैठ समझाते हैं, जैसे लौकिक बाप भी बच्चों को समझाते हैं । परन्तु वह ऐसे नहीं होते जो बाप भी हो, टीचर भी हो और वही गुरू भी हो । पहले बाप पास जन्म लेते हैं, फिर थोड़े बड़े हो तो टीचर चाहिए पढ़ाने के लिए । फिर 60 वर्ष के बाद गुरू चाहिए । यह तो एक ही बाप, टीचर, सतगुरू है । कहते हैं मैं तुम आत्माओं का बाप हूँ । पढ़ती भी आत्मा है । आत्मा को आत्मा कहा जाता है । बाकी शरीरों के अनेक नाम हैं । ख्याल करो-यह है बेहद का नाटक । बनी बनाई बन रही.... कोई नई बात नहीं । यह अनादि बना बनाया ड्रामा है जो फिरता रहता है । पार्टधारी आत्मायें हैं । आत्मा कहाँ रहती है? कहेंगे हम अपने घर परमधाम में रहने वाले हैं फिर हम यहाँ आते है बेहद का पार्ट बजाने । बाप तो सदैव वहाँ ही रहते हैं । वह पुनर्जन्म में नहीं आते हैं । अभी तुमको रचता बाप, अपना और रचना का सार सुनाते हैं । तुमको कहते हैं स्वदर्शन चक्रधारी बच्चे । इसका अर्थ भी कोई और समझ न सके क्योंकि वह तो समझते हैं स्वदर्शन चक्रधारी विष्णु हैं, यह फिर मनुष्यों को क्यों कहते । यह तुम जानते हो । शूद्र थे तो भी मनुष्य ही थे, अभी ब्राह्मण बने हैं तो भी मनुष्य ही हैं फिर देवता बनेंगे तो भी मनुष्य ही रहेंगे । परन्तु कैरेक्टर बदलते हैं । रावण आता है तो तुम्हारे कैरेक्टर कितने बिगड़ जाते हैं । सतयुग में यह विकार होते ही नहीं ।
अभी बाप तुम बच्चों को अमरकथा सुना रहे हैं । भक्ति मार्ग में तुमने कितनी कथायें सुनी होंगी । कहते हैं अमरनाथ ने पार्वती को कथा सुनाई । अब उनको तो शंकर सुनायेंगे ना । शिव कैसे सुनायेंगे । कितने ढेर मनुष्य जाते हैं सुनने के लिए । यह भक्ति मार्ग की बातें बाप बैठ समझाते हैं । बाप ऐसे नहीं कहते- भक्ति कोई खराब है । नहीं, यह तो ड्रामा जो अनादि है, वह समझाया जाता है । अब बाप कहते हैं एक तो अपने को आत्मा समझो । मूल बात ही यह है । भगवानुवाच-मनमनाभव । इसका अर्थ क्या है? यह बाप बैठ मुख से सुनाते हैं तो यह गऊमुख है । यह भी समझाया है त्वमेव माताश्च पिता..... उनको ही कहते हैं । तो इस माता द्वारा तुम सबको एडाप्ट किया है । शिवबाबा कहते हैं इस मुख द्वारा तुम बच्चों को ज्ञान दूध पिलाता हूँ तो तुम्हारे जो पाप हैं वह सब भस्म होकर तुम्हारी आत्मा कंचन बनती है । तो काया भी कंचन मिलती है । आत्मायें बिल्कुल प्योर कंचन बन जाती हैं फिर आहिस्ते- आहिस्ते सीढ़ी उतरते हैं । अभी तुम समझ गये हो हम आत्मायें भी कंचन थी, शरीर भी कंचन था फिर ड्रामा अनुसार हम 84 के चक्र में आये हैं । अभी कंचन नहीं है । अभी तो 9 कैरेट कहेंगे, बाकी थोड़ा परसेण्ट जाकर रहे हैं । एकदम प्रायः लोप नहीं कहेंगे । कुछ न कुछ शान्ति रहती है । बाप ने यह निशानी भी बताई है । लक्ष्मी-नारायण का चित्र है नम्बरवन । अभी तुम्हारी बुद्धि में सारा चक्र आ गया है । बाप का परिचय भी आ गया है । भल अब तुम्हारी आत्मा पूरी कंचन नहीं बनी है परन्तु बाप का परिचय तो बुद्धि में है ना । कंचन होने की युक्ति बताते हैं । आत्मा में जो खाद पड़ी है वह निकले कैसे? उसके लिए याद की यात्रा है । इसको कहा जाता है युद्ध का मैदान । तुम हरेक इन्डिपेन्डेट युद्ध के मैदान में सिपाही हो । अब हरेक जितना चाहे उतना पुरूषार्थ करे । पुरूषार्थ करना तो स्टूडेंट का काम है । कहाँ भी जाओ, एक-दो को सावधान करते रहो-मनमनाभव । शिवबाबा याद है? एक-दो को यही इशारा देना है । बाप की पढ़ाई इशारा है तब तो बाप कहते हैं एक सेकण्ड में काया कंचन हो जाती है । विश्व का मालिक बना देता हूँ । बाप के बच्चे बने तो विश्व के मालिक बन गये । फिर विश्व में है बादशाही । उनमें ऊंच पद पाना-यह है पुरूषार्थ करना । बाकी सेकण्ड में जीवनमुक्ति । राइट तो है ना । पुरूषार्थ करना हरेक के ऊपर है । तुम बाप को याद करते रहो तो आत्मा एकदम पवित्र हो जायेगी । सतोप्रधान बन सतोप्रधान दुनिया के मालिक बन जायेंगे । कितना बार तुम तमोप्रधान से फिर सतोप्रधान बने हो! यह चक्र फिरता रहता है । इसका कब अन्त नहीं आता । बाप कितना अच्छी रीति बैठ समझाते हैं । कहते हैं मैं कल्प-कल्प आता हूँ । तुम बच्चे मुझे छी-छी दुनिया में निमन्त्रण देते हो । क्या निमन्त्रण देते हो? कहते हो हम जो पतित बन गये हैं, आप आकर पावन बनाओ । वाह तुम्हारा निमन्त्रण! कहते हो हमको शान्तिधाम- सुखधाम में ले चलो तो तुम्हारा ओबीडियेंट सर्वेंट हूँ । यह भी ड्रामा का खेल है । तुम समझते हो-हम कल्प-कल्प वही पढ़ते हैं, पार्ट बजाते हैं । आत्मा ही पार्ट बजाती है । यहाँ बैठे भी बाप आत्माओं को देखते हैं । सितारों को देखते हैं । कितनी छोटी आत्मा है । जैसे सितारों की झिलमिल रहती है । कोई सितारा बहुत तीखा होता है, कोई हल्का । कोई चन्द्रमा के नज़दीक होते हैं । तुम भी योगबल से अच्छी रीति पवित्र बनते हो तो चमकते हो । बाबा भी कहते हैं बच्चों में जो बहुत अच्छा नक्षत्र है, उनको फूल दो । बच्चे भी एक-दो को जानते तो है ना । बरोबर कोई बहुत तीखे होते हैं, कोई बहुत ढीले होते हैं । उन सितारों को देवता नहीं कह सकते । तुम भी हो मनुष्य । परन्तु तुम्हारी आत्मा को बाप पवित्र बनाए विश्व का मालिक बनाते हैं । कितनी ताकत बाप वर्से में देते हैं । ऑलमाइटी बाप है ना । बाप कहते हैं मैं तुम बच्चों को इतनी माइट देता हूँ । गाते भी हैं ना-शिवबाबा आप तो हमको बैठकर पढ़ाई से मनुष्य से देवता बनाते हो । वाह! ऐसा तो कोई नहीं बनाते । पढ़ाई सोर्स ऑफ इनकम है ना । सारा आसमान, धरती आदि सब हमारे हो जाते हैं । कोई छीन न सके । उसको कहा जाता है अडोल राज्य । कोई भी खण्डन कर न सके । कोई जला न सके । तो ऐसे बाप की श्रीमत पर चलना चाहिए ना । हरेक को अपना पुरूषार्थ करना है ।
बच्चे म्युजियम आदि बनाते हैं - इन चित्रों आदि द्वारा हमजिन्स को समझावें । बाप डायरेक्शन देते रहते हैं-जो चित्र चाहिए भल बनाओ । बुद्धि तो सबकी काम करती है । मनुष्यों के कल्याण लिए ही यह बनाये जाते हैं । तुम जानते हो सेण्टर में कभी कोई आते हैं, अब ऐसी क्या युक्ति रचे जो आपेही लोग आयें मिठाई लेने । किसकी अच्छी मिठाई होती है तो एडवरटाइज़ हो जाती है । सब एक-दो को कहेंगे फलानी दुकान पर जाओ । यह तो बड़ी अच्छे ते अच्छी नम्बरवन मिठाई है । ऐसी मिठाई कोई दे न सके । एक देखकर जाते हैं तो दूसरों को भी सुनाते हैं । ख्याल तो चलता है सारा भारत कैसे गोल्डन एज में आ जाये, उसके लिए कितना समझाते हैं । परन्तु पत्थरबुद्धि हैं, मेहनत तो लगेगी ना । शिकार करना भी सीखना पड़ता है ना । पहले-पहले छोटा शिकार सीखा जाता है । बड़े शिकार के लिए तो ताकत चाहिए ना । कितने बड़े-बड़े विद्वान- पण्डित हैं । वेद-शास्त्र आदि पढ़े हुए हैं । अपने को कितनी बड़ी अथॉरिटी समझते हैं । बनारस में कितने उन्हों को बड़े-बड़े टाइटिल मिलते हैं । तब बाबा ने समझाया था पहले-पहले तो बनारस में सेवा का घेराव डालो । बड़ों का आवाज निकले तब कोई सुने । छोटे की बात तो कोई सुनते नहीं । शेरों को समझाना है जो अपने को शास्त्रों की अथॉरिटी समझते हैं । कितने बड़े-बड़े टाइटिल देते हैं । शिवबाबा के भी इतने टाइटिल नहीं हैं । भक्ति मार्ग का राज्य है ना फिर होता है ज्ञान मार्ग का राज्य । ज्ञान मार्ग में भक्ति होती नहीं । भक्ति में फिर ज्ञान बिल्कुल होता नहीं । तो यह बाप समझाते हैं, बाप देखते भी ऐसे हैं, समझते हैं यह सितारे बैठे हैं । देह का भान छोड़ देना है । जैसे ऊपर में सितारों की झिलमिल लगी हुई है वैसे यहाँ भी झिलमिल लगी हुई है । कोई-कोई बहुत तीखी रोशनी वाले बन गये हैं । यह हैं धरती के सितारे जिसको ही देवता कहा जाता है । यह कितना बड़ा बेहद का माण्डवा है । बाप समझाते हैं वह है हद की रात और दिन । यह है फिर आधाकल्प की रात, आधाकल्प का दिन, बेहद का । दिन में सुख ही सुख है । कहाँ भी धक्के खाने की दरकार नहीं । ज्ञान में है सुख, भक्ति में है दुःख । सतयुग में दु :ख का नाम नहीं । वहाँ काल होता नहीं । तुम काल पर जीत पाते हो । मृत्यु का नाम नहीं होता । वह है अमरलोक । तुम जानते हो बाप हमको अमरकथा सुना रहे हैं अमरलोक के लिए । अब तुम मीठे-मीठे बच्चों को ऊपर से लेकर सारा चक्र बुद्धि में है । जानते हो हम आत्माओं का घर है ब्रह्म लोक । वहाँ से यहाँ आते हैं नम्बरवार पार्ट बजाने । ढेर आत्मायें हैं, एक-एक का थोड़ेही बैठ बतायेंगे । नटशेल में बताते हैं । कितनी टाल-टालियां हैं । निकलते- निकलते झाड़ वृद्धि को पा लेता है । बहुत हैं जिनको अपने धर्म का भी पता नहीं है । बाप आकर समझाते हैं तुम असल देवी-देवता धर्म के हो । परन्तु अब धर्म भ्रष्ट, कर्म भ्रष्ट बन गये हो ।
अब तुम बच्चों की बुद्धि में है कि हम असल शान्तिधाम के रहने वाले हैं फिर आते हैं पार्ट बजाने । इन लक्ष्मी-नारायण का राज्य था, इनकी डिनायस्टी थी । फिर अभी संगमयुग पर खड़े हैं । बाप ने बताया है तुम सूर्यवंशी थे फिर चन्द्रवशी बने । बाकी बीच में तो है बाइप्लाटस । यह खेल है बेहद का । यह कितना छोटा झाड़ है । ब्राह्मणों का कुल है । फिर कितना बड़ा हो जायेगा, सबको देख मिल भी नहीं सकेंगे । जहाँ-तहाँ घेराव डालते जाते हैं । बाप कहते हैं देहली को, बनारस को घेराव डालो । फिर कहते हैं सारी दुनिया को तुम घेराव डालने वाले हो । तुम योगबल से सारी दुनिया पर एक राज्य की स्थापना करते हो, कितनी खुशी होती है । कोई कहाँ, कोई कहाँ जाते रहते हैं । अभी तुम्हारी कोई बात नहीं सुनते । जब बड़े-बड़े आयेंगे, अखबारों में पड़ेगा तब समझेंगे । अभी छोटा-छोटा शिकार होता है । बड़े-बड़े साहूकार लोग तो समझते हैं स्वर्ग हमारे लिए यहाँ ही है । गरीब ही आकर वर्सा लेते हैं । कहते हैं-बाबा मेरे तो आप दूसरा न कोई । परन्तु जब मोह ममत्व सारी दुनिया से भी टूटे ना । अच्छा!
मीठे-मीठे सिकीलधे बच्चों प्रति मात-पिता बापदादा का याद-प्यार और गुडमोर्निंग। रूहानी बाप की रूहानी बच्चों को नमस्ते ।
 


Daily Positive Thoughts: September 25, 2014: There Is God

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 25, 2014: There Is God





There Is God
Behind every flower there is a seed, behind every painting there is an artist, behind every human being there is God.

Balance of Head and Heart

In my interactions with others, I sometimes only use my head, i.e., my
logic. I am very logical and understand the facts very clearly. But if
I keep myself limited only to the facts, I tend to forget to use my
heart. I then am not available to the other person and fail to
understand him. In order to be successful in my interactions with
others I need to have the right balance between my head and my heart. I
need to see beyond what the facts say and try to listen and understand
the other person too. When I do this I will not hurt people with my
attitude but will be able to maintain harmonious relationships.




Inculcating Powers Though Meditation -
The Power To Pack Up


On the path of meditation, I am a traveler, on a magnificent journey. I have to make some firm choices about I what will take with me on this journey. To pack up means to learn the lessons of the present, then to move on, letting the past be past. It means not carrying the baggage of the past into my present and future, but traveling lightly from one day to the next, keeping only what is most useful to me. That way, I'll enjoy the journey more, and move faster in the direction of my choice.

I'll also be lighter in my relationships. The power to pack up enables me to fill each exchange I have with others with freshness and newness, instead of allowing influences from past encounters with them to affect my present attitude and behaviour. When I carry emotional or intellectual baggage from the past into my present dealings with an individual, I don't give that person the opportunity to express himself freely: my attitude colours him with the paint of my previous experience. It is important to process the past, and learn from experience, but then finish it, so it does not block my view of how things are today.

Meditation helps me to acquire that discipline of finishing negative and wasteful thoughts i.e. inculcate the power to pack up. As the habit of self-observation develops, it doesn't take long to understand how negative thoughts and feelings literally negate my central aim, of re-emerging my true nature. Negativity drains the battery of the soul faster than anything else does.

Soul Sustenance

The Fifth Phase/Age Of Humanity (cont.)

When we recognize the precise and exact nature of cyclic time, we can also joyfully expect and work for a new day or the Golden Age. For this to happen, great changes must take place in human affairs. It is a process of change that can only begin from within the individual. Just as we have been responsible for the degradation of the physical environment, of our world, so it is we who must take up the repairs. When we understand that all change is from soul to mind, from then from mind to body or matter we realize that it is our own spiritual awakening and purification which can change our world at all levels. As we turn to face the Source of love and light and fill ourselves with spiritual energy, the process of reduction in spiritual energy of the world is slowed down and slowly reversed. The soul returns to its original pure and loving state. The result is a change of the inner world of consciousness which, in turn, is reflected in the change of the outer world that we all share.

When we change, the world changes.

Message for the day


Balance makes life peaceful and happy.

Projection: A life of peace is a life of balance. Sometimes, even a single negative thought or word can throw one out of balance. Even a virtue needs to be in balance. For instance determination, which provides energy and concentration necessary for any accomplishment can become stubbornness. So determination when balanced with patience and flexibility creates a life of happiness.

Solution: When I have detachment whilst using a virtue, I am able to maintain balance. Otherwise I find that even a virtue to an extreme takes a negative form. Detachment enables me to recognize the importance of the virtue and use it in the right way, according to the requirement.

In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
