Daily Positive Thoughts: June 06, 2015: Look Ahead

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 06, 2015: Look Ahead



Artist : Kinuko Y Craft - Dr. M.S. Swaminathan of India

Look Ahead
Do not look back with shame, nor look up with arrogance, nor look around for blame. Just look ahead with dignity.



Humility

The more respect is measured on the basis of something external, the
greater the desire for recognition from others. The greater the
desire, the more one falls victim to ego and there cannot be humility.
We need to start the day with a thought that brings self-respect. We
need to tell ourselves that we are special and also use this
speciality throughout the day. We will then not dominate or limit the
freedom of anyone but will naturally with humility.



Empty Handed We Come And Go Away (cont.)

Continuing from yesterday's message, a soul who does not cling, is easy natured, who wears the clothes of its roles and responsibilities, but not very tightly, experiences constant happiness and serenity and connects with everyone or everything, but yet can disconnect whenever required. This is true inner freedom.  Such a soul always smiles and coming in contact with such a soul is soothing. Such a soul is a liberated carefree emperor and gives a comfortable feeling of liberation to everyone and everything it touches or comes in contact with. On a lighter note, if you are still not convinced about living a life of detachment, you can start with asking yourself, do you enjoy interacting with someone who likes to possess or cling or control or someone who does not? What is a more empowering and comfortable experience for you? The answer is obvious.

Once we get convinced about the idea, we will be courageous enough to challenge internal pressures like old thought patterns, habits, beliefs, past experiences and external pressures in the form of real life challenging situations, the information that we receive from outside and of course our friends and loved ones who will try and convince us to take the opposite path of attachment in subtle or non-subtle ways.  Along with inner conviction, becoming aware of ourselves as spiritual beings through meditation, which will help us rediscover our real and authentic being, will also assist us immensely in this process and will provide us the power for the same. Meditation helps us empty ourselves of all that is unnecessary or excess waste inside us and discover the essential, which is precious, as a result we feel full and complete inside, and we no longer desire to possess or hold on to anything physical or non-physical. Hence, we very naturally, without much effort, start living our day-day life without depending on the crutches of attachment.

The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 4)

Referring to yesterday’s message, in the triangle of harmonious energy, all three points (the self, the Supreme and others) need to be equidistant - not too much one way or the other. The equidistant triangle in ancient mathematics was the symbol of harmony. Harmony, peace, order and balance is what is natural in human life and if we wish to return to that condition, we need to realize the importance of equidistant relationships. It requires constant attention to keep the three points in balance and in working order. Otherwise, when we get over-focused on any one of the three, we become inflexible. This inflexibility causes us to go out of balance and the result is disharmony and disunity, which can also be called 'violence', an unnatural condition, or even hell when it reaches an extreme point.

In order to maintain a balance between the three, I need silence: times of introspection when I can check the flow of three of my relationships – with the self, Supreme Source and others. This checking mechanism protects, sustains and develops the qualities of these three points.



Message for the day 

Determination is the best companion.

Projection: When things go wrong, the first reaction is of fear. Because of this, I can't put in any effort to better the situation. I start looking for a companion, a support who can provide me help. But I rarely get help from outside.

Solution: When I have to look for something to rely on, the only support I get is from my own determined thought. I need to make it my companion, not letting go of it till I succeed. This will help me overcome my fear and move towards success.

Om Shanti ! Sakar Murli June 05, 2015




Om Shanti ! Sakar Murli June 05, 2015


Essence: Sweet children, you now have to tolerate praise and  defamation,  regard  and  disregard, happiness and sorrow (ninda-stuti, maan-apmaan, dukh-sukh). Your days of happiness are now coming close.

Question:   What warning does the Father give His Brahmin children?

Answer: Children, never sulk (roothna) with the Father. If you sulk with the Father, you also sulk with your salvation. The Father warns you: Those who sulk will experience severe punishment. If you sulk with one another or with your Brahmin teacher, then, instead of becoming a flower, you will become a thorn. Therefore, remain very cautious about this.

Song:         Have patience o mind! Your days of happiness are about to come!

Om shanti.

You sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children heard the song. All of the sorrow of many births of you children should have been removed by now. You heard the line in this song. You know that your parts of sorrow are now ending and that your parts of happiness are to begin. Those who don't understand this clearly definitely do experience sorrow about something or other. Even after coming here to Baba, they will definitely feel sorrow about something or other. Baba understands that many children must be having difficulty. When people go on a pilgrimage, there are sometimes big crowds, sometimes heavy rain and sometimes even a storm. Those who are true devotees say, “What does it matter, since we are going to God?”  They go on that pilgrimage thinking that they are going to God.  Human beings have plenty of gods! Those who are very firm in their faith say: It doesn’t matter; after all, there are always obstacles in carrying out a good task. They wouldn’t turn back. Some people do turn back. Sometimes, there are obstacles, sometimes there aren't. The Father says: Children, this is your pilgrimage. You say that you are going to the unlimited Father. That Father removes everyone’s sorrow. You have this faith. Look how many crowds of people come to Madhuban nowadays. Baba is very concerned because many must be facing difficulty. Some even have to sleep on the floor. Baba doesn’t want His children to sleep on the floor. However, according to the drama, there are big crowds, just as there were big crowds a cycle ago too, and just as this will happen again. You shouldn’t experience any unhappiness about this. You know that out of those who study, some will become kings and some will become paupers. Some will have a high status and others a low status, but they will all definitely have happiness. Baba also knows that some children are so weak that they can't tolerate anything. If they have to face any difficulty, they say, “It was useless for us to come here!” Or, they say that their Brahmin teacher forced them to come here. There are even some children who say that their Brahmin teacher trapped them without reason. They don’t fully recognise that they have come to the World University. By studying the study of this time, some will become kings and some will even become paupers in the future. However, there is the difference of day and night between the kings and paupers here and the kings and paupers there. Here, the paupers, as well as the kings, are unhappy. There, both remain happy. The world here is impure and vicious. The Father explains: Even if someone does have a lot of wealth here, all of it is going to turn to dust. Even these bodies will be destroyed. Souls will not turn to dust. Although there are many wealthy people like Birla, they don’t realise that this old world is now to change. If they were to understand this, they would instantly come here. They would say that God has come here. Ultimately, where else could they go? No one can receive salvation without the Father.  If someone sulks, it would be said that he is sulking with his salvation.  Many continue to sulk and then fall in this way. There are those who are amazed as they listen to this knowledge. They have a lot of faith. (aashcharyavat sunanti,nishchay hovanti) Some people believe that, there truly is no path other than this one. It is only through this that you would receive your inheritance of peace and happiness.  It is impossible to find peace and happiness without Baba. Only when you have a lot of wealth can you experience happiness. There is happiness in having wealth. There, in the incorporeal world, souls sit in silence. Some say that if they didn't have to play a part, they would remain constantly up there. However, it doesn't happen by just saying that. You children have been told that this play is predestined (bana-banaaya khel). Many children have doubt about something or other and then leave. They either sulk with their teacher or each other and stop studying. You have now come here to become flowers. You feel that you truly are changing from thorns into flowers. You definitely do have to become flowers. Some children have one doubt or another and say: So-and-so is doing this. This one is like this or like that. This is why I will no longer come here. They sulk and go and sit at home. The Father says: Sulk with whomever else you like, but never sulk with the one Father! Baba gives you this warning: The punishment is very severe. Whatever punishment you receive in a womb, you will first have a vision of what you did. There cannot be punishment without first having visions. Similarly, you will also have visions of the present time and of how, while studying, you fought and quarrelled with someone and then sulked and stopped studying.   You children do understand that you have to study with the Father.

Never stop studying! You study here to change from human beings into deities. You come here to meet the highest-on-high Father. Sometimes, many more children (than expected) come. Therefore, according to the drama, there is some difficulty. Some children face many storms such as, "I didn’t receive such-and-such a thing. I didn’t get this!” All of that is nothing.  When it is the time of death, people without knowledge will ask: What crime did I commit that they are killing me for no reason? The act played out at the end is called, "The part of bloodshed without cause". Bombs will suddenly be dropped and many will die. That is bloodshed without cause, is it not? People without knowledge will cry out in distress. You children become very happy because you understand that this world has to be destroyed. If all the other religions were not destroyed, how could the one true religion be established? In the golden age, there was the one original and eternal deity religion. What does anyone know of what there used to be at the beginning of the golden age? This is the auspicious confluence age. The Father has come here to make you all into the most elevated of human beings. He is the Father of everyone. You now know the drama.  Not everyone will go to the golden age. Those billions of souls are not all going to the golden age. All of these matters are details. Many daughters do not understand anything here. They are so used to everything of the path of devotion that this knowledge cannot sit in their intellects. They have the habit of doing devotion. They say: What can God not do? He can even bring the dead back to life. Some come to Baba and say: So-and-so revived a dead person; so, can God not do this? When someone does something good, people begin to praise him. Then, he will have thousands of followers. Very few come here to you. If God is teaching you, why are there so few of you? Many people say such things to you. Ah yes! but you have to die here. There, it is just a matter of pleasing your ears. They sit and recite the Gita with so much splendour. The devotees listen to them. Here, it is not a matter of pleasing your ears. You are simply told to remember the Father. The term “Manmanabhav” is also mentioned in the Gita. Remember the Father and your sins will be absolved. The Father says: OK, even if you sulk with your teacher or with your centre, at least do this much: Break off all connections with everyone else and consider yourself to be a soul and remember the one Father.  The Father is the Purifier. That’s all! Simply continue to remember the Father. Continue to spin the discus of self- realisation. Even if you remember this much, you can definitely go to heaven. However, you will only receive a high status in heaven according to the effort you make now. Subjects have to be created. Otherwise, over whom would you rule? Those who make a lot of effort will claim a high status. People beat their heads so much in order to claim a high status. No one can live without making some effort. You children understand how the Highest on High is the Purifier Father. Although people sing this praise of Him, they don't understand its meaning. Bharat used to be so wealthy. When Bharat was heaven, it was the wonder of the world. Those seven wonders belong to Maya.  Throughout the whole drama, the highest of all is heaven and the lowest of all is hell. You have now come to the Father. You know that our sweet Baba takes us to the highest destination of all. Who could forget Him? Even when you go somewhere, just remember one thing. Remember the Father! Only the Father gives you shrimat. It is God who speaks, not God Brahma who speaks.  The unlimited Father asks you children: Children, I went away having made you so wealthy. So, how did  you become so degraded? However, some children listen as though they understand nothing! Therefore, such children experience a little difficulty. You have to tolerate praise and defamation, regard and disregard, happiness and sorrow. Look at people here! They don't take long to throw stones, even at the Prime Minister.  It is said that students are the new blood. They are praised a great deal. They think that those children are the future new blood. However, those same students become the ones who cause sorrow; they set colleges on fire; they continue to insult everyone. The Father explains what the condition of the world has become. What would you say about an actor in a drama who doesn't know the beginning, middle or end of the drama or the main actors, etc.? You should know the biography of the One who is the greatest Actor of all. They don't know anything about what parts Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar play, or the parts that the founders of the main religions play. People with blind faith call all of them preceptors. A guru is one who grants salvation. The Bestower of Salvation for all is the one Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He is the Supreme Guru too. He also gives you children knowledge. He teaches you. His part is wonderful. He establishes this religion and finishes all other religions. All other founders simply establish a religion. The One who carries out establishment and destruction is called the Guru. The Father says: I am the Death of all deaths. One religion will be established and all other religions destroyed. This means that everything will be sacrificed into the sacrificial fire of knowledge. Then there will be no more war, nor will any sacrificial fires be created. You now know the whole of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world.  All others simply say, "neti, neti" (neither this nor that!")  You don't say that.  No one but the Father can explain to you. Therefore, you children should  experience  great  happiness. However, Maya opposes you in such a way that she finishes your remembrance. You children have to tolerate happiness and sorrow, as well as regard and disregard. In fact, no one here is insulted. If something does happen, report it to the Father. If you don't report it, you accumulate sin. When you tell the Father about it, they will very quickly be cautioned. Do not hide anything from this Surgeon. He is the great Surgeon. He gives you the injection of knowledge. It is also called the ointment of knowledge. This knowledge is also called the kajal (eye make-up) of knowledge. There is no question of magic etc. here. The Father says: I have come to show you the way to become pure from impure. If you don't become pure, you cannot imbibe anything. It is because of lust that sins are committed. You must conquer lust. If you yourself are indulging in vice, you cannot tell someone else not to. That would be a great sin. The Father relates the story of the pundit who said: Chant, "Rama, Rama", and you will be able to go across the ocean. People think that that refers to an ocean of water. However, just as you can't reach the height of the sky, and you cannot reach the depths of the ocean, so too, there is no end to the brahm element. Here, people make effort to try and go into the depths of everything, whereas there, they don't have to make any effort at all. Here, no matter how far they go into space, they still have to come back. If they don't have enough fuel, how could they return? That is the extreme arrogance of scientists. They will bring about destruction through those things. There can be happiness through aeroplanes, but there can also be extreme sorrow caused through them. 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.


Essence for dharna:

1.      Do not stop studying for any reason.  Punishment is very severe.  Therefore, in order to save yourself from that, break off all other connections and remember the one Father. Do not sulk.

2.      Only the one Father gives you the injection or ointment (anjan) of knowledge.  Do not hide anything from the eternal Surgeon. By telling the Father, you will very quickly be cautioned.


Blessing:   May you be a yogyukt and yuktiyukt server who stays in the stage of being beyond (upraam sthiti) while doing service.

Those who are yogyukt and yuktiyukt servers always remain beyond while doing service.  Let it not be that because you are doing a lot of service you cannot be bodiless. Remember that it is not your service, but something the Father has given you to do and you will then remain free from bondage. Practise: I am a trustee and free from bondage. In extreme times, practise the final stage (ati, ant) and the karmateet stage. Just as you control the traffic of your thoughts every now and then, similarly, experience the stage of the final period at extreme times and you will be able to pass with honour at the end.

Slogan:      Good wishes change excuses into solutions.(kaaran into nivaaran)

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 05, 2015: Theatre Of Life












Theatre Of Life

Ignorance makes us believe that life functions haphazardly. Wisdom teaches you that everything that happens in this theatre of life has profound significance. What we see today is not the fruit of chance but a fruit from seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and you will create a life of peace in the future.





Passion

To live life with passion is to discover what invigorates and inspires your soul. Make time to identify your passion.

When you find your passion, it's then possible to find direction and focus to do what you love.

You don't have to focus on just one passion. Why not, do a little bit of everything that you love?

When you live with passion, you gain enthusiasm for life as a whole and as a result you're better able to persist through life's challenges.




Empty Handed We Come And Go Away



There is an old saying that we came empty-handed not only when we entered this particular life but when seen from a broader perspective, also when we entered the world. The same is the case when we leave this life or the world as a whole. Every birth for the soul is a fresh chapter or innings in its journey of life.

Everything that has come to us will definitely go away from us one day. While some may perceive this basic fact of humanity to be unrealistic and not in tune with practical life, but the fact is that attachment or the tendency to possess or cling is a defiance of this law, which leads to a form of fear filled spiritual suicide because the joy and contentment that seems to come from this tendency is only temporary and artificial and between these moments of happiness, there is fear of the loss of the physical or non-physical object that you try and possess, embedded in between and this fear causes the object to start controlling you and you feel suppressed and in bondage. As a result, your inner potential and creativity remains untapped and even starts reducing, without you realizing it consciously. In such a state, you fail to see and accept new ideas, opportunities and people in your life. You inner world becomes closed and chaotic and very difficult to manage and your internal self is weakened and harmed, leading to an internal self suicide. When someone stops clinging to anything, physical or non-physical, they don't become indifferent or cold, but their consciousness just starts becoming broader and functions without any limits, barriers or boundaries.

The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 3)

Referring to the last two days’ messages, all three points of connection (connection with the self, of the self with the Supreme and of the self with others) are necessary for good emotional and spiritual health.

If I am only connected inwards, there is a great danger of arrogance and being lost in only myself. If I am only connected to the Supreme Source with little reference to myself, or others, there is the danger of becoming rigid, fanatical and unrealistic. If I am over-focused on others and on my relationships with others, thinking I will receive my happiness and sense of purpose from them, then a dependence is created, which results in conflict and disappointment.

When I do reconnect with the outside world, it can only be done effectively from the point of advantage of connection with the self and with the Supreme Source.

This three-point connection can be depicted in the form of a triangle with the self as a point (A), then the vertical movement upward to the Supreme Point (A to B), then the horizontal connection to others (A to C). Others need to have their own independent and personal connection with the Supreme Point to revitalize and renew their own consciousness (C to B). In this way, the triangle of harmonious energy (ABC) becomes complete.

(To be continued tomorrow …) 


Message for the day


The one who is selfless is the one who is the best judge.

Projection: When I have to take a decision, either for others or myself, there is some kind of selfishness or greed involved in it. When I think only of my selfish desires, my judgement would not be accurate.

Solution: I need to be detached and see what benefit there is for each one with the choice that I am going to make. The more I think of the benefit of all, the more my judgement is accurate.

Om Shanti ! Sakar Murli June 04, 2015



Om Shanti ! Sakar Murli June 04, 2015
Essence: Sweet children, the Father is teaching you Raja Yoga for the new world. Therefore, this old world is definitely going to be destroyed.
Question:   Which good habit do human beings have, from which they received no attainment?
Answer:   Human beings have the habit of remembering God only when something happens.  Then, they say, “Oh God!” They think of an oval image, but, because they have no real recognition of Him, they have no attainment. Then, they say that He gives happiness and sorrow, that He gives everything. You children no longer say this.
Om shanti.
The Father is also called the Creator. Of what? He is the Creator of the new world. The new world is called heaven, the land of happiness. People use these names, but they have no understanding. They even call a temple to Krishna, “Sukhdham” (The land of happiness). However, that is just a small temple. Krishna was the master of the world. It is as though they have made someone who was an unlimited master into a limited master. They call a small temple to Krishna, “The land of happiness”. It doesn’t enter their intellects that he was the master of the world, that he used to reside in Bharat. You too didn’t know anything previously. The Father knows everything. He knows the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. You children now understand this. No one in the world even knows who Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar are. Shiva is God, the Highest on High. Achcha, so where did Prajapita Brahma come from? He too is a human being. Prajapita Brahma definitely has to exist here. Brahmins have to be created here through him. Prajapita (Father of the People) means the one who adopts children through the mouth; you are mouth-born children. You now understand how the Father made Brahma belong to Him and created you mouth-born children through him. He entered him and said: This one is My child. You know how He named him Brahma. No one else knows how he was created. They simply sing the praise of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, being the Highest on High. However, it doesn’t enter anyone’s intellect that the Highest on High is the Father. He is the Father of all of us souls. His form is also a point of light.  He has the knowledge of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. It is now that you receive this knowledge. Previously, you didn’t have any of this knowledge. Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar are simply spoken of. No one knows anything about them. Therefore, you have to explain to everyone. You have now become sensible. You know that the Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. This is why He can give you knowledge and teach you. This Raja Yoga is for the golden-aged new world. Therefore, the old world surely has to be destroyed. There is this Mahabharat War for that. For half the cycle, you have been studying the scriptures of the path of devotion. You are now listening to the Father directly. The Father doesn’t sit and read the scriptures out loud. To chant mantras, do penance or study the scriptures are all devotion. Devotees want the fruit of their devotion because they make that effort simply to meet God. However, it is only through this knowledge that there can be salvation. Knowledge and devotion cannot continue at the same time. It is now the kingdom of devotion; all are devotees. “Oh God, the Father!” definitely emerges from everyone’s mouth. You children now understand that the Father has given you His introduction, that He is just a tiny point.  Only I am called the Ocean of Knowledge.  The whole knowledge is merged in Me, the Point. Knowledge stays in the soul. You children now know that He is called the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He is the Supreme Soul, which means, He is the Highest on High. Only the Purifier Father is the Supreme. When people say “Oh God", they remember a Shiva lingam, an oval image. Even that is not accurately remembered. It is as though they have formed a habit of remembering God. They say: God gives happiness and sorrow. You children no longer say this. You know that the Father is the Bestower of Happiness. The land of happiness existed in the golden age. There was no mention of sorrow there. In this iron age, there is only sorrow. There is no mention of happiness here. God, the Highest on High, is the Father of all souls. Even though they say that they are all brothers, none of them knows about the Father of souls. Everyone is definitely a child of the one Father. Some then say that He is omnipresent, that He is in you and also in me. Ah! But you are a soul. That is your body. So, how could there be a third thing?  A soul cannot be called the Supreme Soul.  It is said: A living soul (jeev atma). It is not said: Living Supreme Soul. In that case, how could the Supreme Soul be omnipresent? If the Father were omnipresent, it would be a Fatherhood.  A father doesn't receive his inheritance from a father. It is the children who receive an inheritance from their father. How could everyone be the Father? Even such a tiny matter is not understood by anyone. This is why the Father says: Children, 5000 years ago I made you so sensible! You were made ever healthy, wealthy and sensible. No one else could be more sensible than you were. The understanding that you are receiving now will not exist there. There, you aren't aware that you will fall once again.  If you were to be aware of that, you wouldn’t experience the same happiness. This knowledge will then disappear. Only now do you have the knowledge of this drama in your intellects; only you Brahmins have a right to it. It is in your intellects that you now belong to the Brahmin clan.  It is only to you Brahmins that the Father speaks this knowledge.  You Brahmins then relate it to everyone else. It is remembered that God came and established heaven. He came and taught Raja Yoga. Look how people celebrate the birth of Krishna. They do understand that Krishna was the master of Paradise, but it doesn’t enter their intellects that he was also the master of the world. When it was his kingdom, there were no other religions. His kingdom was over the whole world; it was by the banks of the River Jamuna. Who is explaining all of this to you? God speaks. All of those who relate the Vedas and scriptures belong to the path of devotion. Here, God Himself is speaking to you. You understand that you are now becoming the most elevated of all human beings.  It is in your intellects that you become residents of the land of peace and that you will then come down and experience your reward for 21 births. You children should have bubbles of happiness inside you that Shiv Baba, your unlimited Baba, is teaching you. He is the Ocean of Knowledge and He knows the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. Such a Baba has come for us and so you should have bubbles of happiness inside you. When you say to Baba: "Baba, I have made You my Heir", the Father surrenders Himself to such children. You children then say: "God, when You come, I will surrender myself to You, I will make You my Child." This One only makes His children His heirs. How would you make the Father your Heir? This is also a very deep matter. To exchange everything you have is a task for your intellect. Poor people exchange everything very quickly. Scarcely any wealthy ones do this; not until they take up this knowledge completely. They don’t have that much courage. The poor very quickly say: Baba, I will make only You my Heir. What do I have anyway? Having made Him your Heir, you also have to earn your own livelihood. Simply live as a trustee. He gives you many ways to do this. The Father simply observes whether any of you are spending money on sinful actions. Are you using your money to make human beings into charitable souls? Are you doing service systematically? He checks all of this and then advises you. This one also used to take out a share from his business to donate in the name of God. That was indirect. The Father has now come directly. People believe that God will give them in their next birth the fruit of whatever they do in their present birth.  When a person is poor and unhappy, he understands that he must have performed such actions in his previous birth. If someone has performed good actions, he remains happy. The Father explains to you children the philosophy of karma. All of your actions in Ravan's kingdom become sinful. Ravan doesn't exist in the golden and silver ages. Therefore, none of your actions are sinful there. When you perform good actions here, you receive temporary happiness. Nevertheless, there is one or another type of illness or complication because that is temporary happiness. The Father says: This kingdom of Ravan is now going to be destroyed. Shiv Baba is establishing the kingdom of Rama. You know how this cycle turns. Bharat becomes poor once again. 5000 years ago, Bharat became heaven. The kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan started; it was their lineage that existed first. Krishna was a prince. Then, when he married, he was crowned king and named Narayan. It is only at this time that you understand this. Therefore, you become amazed. Baba, You tell us the knowledge of the Creator and the whole of creation. The teachings You give us are so elevated. I surrender myself to You. I have to remember no one but the one Father. You have to study till the end. Therefore, you also definitely have to remember the Teacher. They remember their teachers in a school, do they not? There are so many teachers in those schools. They have a different teacher for each class there. Here, there is only the one Teacher. He is so lovely. The Father is lovely, the Teacher is lovely. Previously, on the path of devotion, He was remembered with blind faith. Now, the Father is teaching you directly. Therefore, you should have so much happiness. In spite of that, you say: Baba, I forget You. I don’t know why my intellect doesn’t remember You. It is said: God, Your ways and means are unique. Baba, Your ways and means for liberation and salvation are so wonderful! You should remember such a Father. A wife sings praise of her husband. She says: He is very good; he has this and that property. She has that happiness inside her. That One is the Husband of all husbands. He is the Father of all fathers; we receive so much happiness from Him. You only receive sorrow from everyone else. Yes, you do receive happiness from a teacher, because you earn an income by studying. You adopt a guru when you reach your stage of retirement. The Father says: I have come at your time of retirement. This one is in his stage of retirement and I too am in My stage of retirement. All of you children of Mine are also in your stage of retirement. The Father, Teacher and Guru - all three are combined. The Father becomes the Teacher and then becomes the Guru too and takes us back home with Him. Only that one Father is praised.  These things are not mentioned in any scripture etc.  Baba explains everything very clearly.  No knowledge is higher than this, nor is there any need of further knowledge. When we have this full knowledge, we become the masters of the world. Therefore, what would we do with any other knowledge? Only when you children keep this in your intellects and stay in that remembrance can you remain happy. In order to become a pure and charitable soul, you definitely do have to stay in remembrance.  It is Maya’s religion to break your yoga.  It is in this yoga that Maya creates obstacles. You forget Him and many storms of Maya come. This too is fixed in the drama. This one is ahead of everyone; therefore he experiences everything first. It is only when these storms come to me first that I can then explain about them to all of you. These storms of Maya will come. They come to Baba and they will also come to you. If there were no storms of Maya and your yoga were constant, you would attain your karmateet stage. In that case, you wouldn’t be able to stay here. When you all reach your karmateet stage, everyone will return home. "The wedding procession of Shiva" has been remembered. Only when Shiv Baba comes can all of us souls return home. Shiv Baba just comes to take everyone back home. There won’t be as many souls in the golden age. 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.

Essence for dharna:
1.      Make Shiv Baba your Heir and exchange everything you have. Having made Him your Heir, you also have to earn your livelihood. Live as a trustee. Don’t use your money for any sinful actions.
2.      You should have bubbles of happiness inside you that Baba, Himself, the Ocean of Knowledge, is teaching you! In order to become a pure and charitable soul, stay in remembrance. Don’t be afraid of the storms of Maya.

Blessing: May you be an experienced image (anubhavi moort) who reveals the Father on the basis of the experiences of all virtues.
Become experienced in all the virtues of the Father, the virtues that you sing praise of. Just as the Father is the Ocean of Bliss, so continue to move along in the waves of the Ocean of Bliss. Give anyone who comes into contact with you the experience of bliss, love, happiness and all virtues. You have to become experienced images of all virtues to such an extent that the Father’s face is revealed through you because it is only you great souls who can reveal God through your experienced image.
Slogan:       Transform excuses into solutions (kaaran to nivaaran) and take up anything inauspicious as auspicious. (ashubh as shubh)

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 04, 2015: The Power of Purity




The Power of Purity

A powerful, yet often misunderstood, aim of spiritual study is purity. Purity of the soul means to return to its original divine qualities. The soul has become so polluted with less than divine qualities, it can hardly enjoy being alive. Purifying the soul puts the higher self back in charge - useless and negative thoughts are removed and annoying habits finish. A pure soul cannot be touched by sorrow; indeed the power of purity is such, it serves to remove the sorrow of the whole world. Purity restores happiness - even bliss. All you need to do, in order to re-establish your purity, is want it. But you need to want it intensely, to the exclusion of everything else. The one thought, "I must become completely pure". sparks a fire of love between you and God. This fire melts away all the pollution, and your purity becomes such a power that it frees you from all battles for ever.



To have courage is to receive multi-fold help.


When I have courage to take a step forward in the right direction, I would find that I receive help. My mind opens up to the various possibilities and opportunities that are available. Also, I start receiving help from people and God too. Today I will take a step towards the right direction. Once I set my mind on it, I will make a list of all those things that will be a help to me get that. I will also take a thought that I will surely achieve what I set out to achieve. This practice helps me move forward, in spite of the difficulties I might face. 


Understanding And Overcoming Ego (cont.)

To conquer ego, humility and honesty are required. We need the courage to look into the self honestly and acknowledge that the characteristics of I know and I control exist and have to be removed, if there is to be truth and happiness inside. We need to remember the original I am e.g.
* I am a child of the Supreme Soul, similar to him in qualities and powers,
* I am the soul which is seated on the Supreme Being's (God's) heart throne,
* I am a knowledgeful soul,
* I am a blissful soul who gifts everyone with the treasure of happiness etc.


Through meditation and remembering the true I am (shared above), the pollution of the selfish ego is gradually replaced by the remembrance and the experience of the pure self: the I that is not attached to anything, or anyone, but is completely whole within itself. The expression of this pure entity is not selfish but selfless and the person begins to share with others, everything that he/she possesses - knowledge, specialities, talents, virtues etc. where necessary, facilitating the awakening of the true potential of others, just like sunlight. Light is a great facilitator. It steps in, awakens and then moves on. An egoless person acts, interacts and expresses themselves in this way.

Soul Sustenance

The Triangle Of Spiritual Energy (Part 2)

Today, when human beings seek love, meaning and purpose, they first connect horizontally (with others) rather than vertically (with the Supreme Source). This leads to a greater loss of energy and eventually dissatisfaction and emptiness. The vertical connection liberates the self from becoming dependent on someone else and from having too many expectations.

After the vertical connection, there can then be the horizontal connection with others, that is, with the outside or external.

The horizontal movement can be called 'reconnection'. When we have taken the first two steps (first inwards i.e. connection with the self and then upwards i.e. connection with the Supreme), we reconnect with others on the basis of openness and sharing, rather than selfishness and need. At this point, there are real relationships that are respectful and balanced, rather than a relationship of wanting, taking, or exploiting. We have come to understand that when we are well with ourselves, we will be well with others.

Message for the day

A deep understanding and an attitude of pure feelings results in positive thinking.

Projection: When we talk about positive thinking, it is usually just 'think positive' and 'be positive'. But just saying this, either to others or to myself, doesn't help to change my thoughts permanently, in fact usually, not even temporarily.

Solution: Real positive thinking is much deeper than just to think positive. For this I need to understand and see things as they are, without colouring them with my own attitudes. Then I can deal with things in the most appropriate way, having understood everything accurately.


In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
