Om Shanti ! Happy Satguruvar! Sakar Murli June 11, 2015

Essence:     Sweet children, you are receiving unlimited knowledge in order to receive unlimited happiness. You are once again claiming the kingdom through the teachings (shiksha) of Raja Yoga.

Question:   In which aspect is your Godly family completely unique (niraala) ?

Answer:     Some of you children in this Godly family are one day old and some are eight days old, but you all study together. The Father becomes the Teacher and  teaches His children.  This is something unique. It is the soul that studies. You souls say “Baba” and Baba tells you the story of your 84 births.

Song:         The Resident of the faraway land has come to this foreign land.

Om shanti.

The day of the Omens of Jupiter  (Brihastpativaar) is also called the day of the Lord of the Tree (Vrikshpativaar) . This festival is celebrated every year. You celebrate the day of the Lord of the Tree every week. The Lord of the Tree means the Seed of this human world tree. He is a living Being. Only He has the knowledge of the beginning, the middle and end of this tree. All other trees are non-living whereas this tree is living. This tree is called the kalpa tree. Its lifespan is 5000 years. This tree has four parts. Everything has four parts; this world cycle too has four parts. This old world is now to be destroyed. The world is so large. No human being has this knowledge in his intellect. These are new teachings for the new world. These are new teachings for you to become kings of the new world, to become the deities of the original eternal deity religion. The language is the same one,  Hindi.  Baba has explained that when  other kingdoms are established, their languages are different.  What will the language in the golden age be?  You children know a little of it. In the early days some daughters would go into trance and then tell what they saw. The Sanskrit language doesn’t exist there. The Sanskrit language exists here. Whatever exists here cannot exist there. Therefore, you children know that that One is the Lord of the Tree. He is also called the Father, the Creator of the tree. That One is the living Seed. All other seeds are non-living. You children should also know the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. Human beings don’t have any happiness at this time because they don’t have this knowledge. This knowledge is unlimited and you receive unlimited happiness through it. Any happiness you receive through limited knowledge is like the droppings of a crow. You know that you are now once again making effort to attain unlimited happiness. Only you listen to these words, “once again”. Only you receive the teachings of Raja Yoga to change once again from human beings into deities. You know that the incorporeal Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. Even souls, His children, are incorporeal. However, each one of you has your own body. That One’s birth is said to be subtle (alokik). No human being can take birth in the same way that He does. He enters this one in his stage of retirement. He sits here and personally explains to you children (souls), face to face. No one else would say to souls, “Children, children.” Whatever religion others belong to, they know that Shiv Baba is the Father of us souls. He would definitely say, “Child child”.  However, no human soul can be called God; no one else can be called Baba. Gandhiji was called Bapu (Father). The mayor of a municipality is also called father. However, all of those fathers are physical. You know that the Father of you souls is teaching you. The Father repeatedly tells you: Consider yourselves to be souls. That Father comes here and teaches you souls. This is the family of God. The Father has so many children. You also say: Baba, I belong to You. Therefore, you become His child. Some say: Baba, I am Your child of one day; or of eight days, or a month. At first, a child would surely be small. However, even though someone here is a child of two or four days, his organs are still large. This is why all big (physically) children have to study. The Father teaches whoever comes here. You too are studying. You have become the Father’s children and He is now explaining to you how you have taken 84 births. The Father says: I enter this one at the end of the last of his many births and teach you. You children know that you have come here to the most senior Teacher from whom these teachers have emerged. They are called guides. They too continue to teach everyone. Those who come to know this knowledge then continue to teach others. First of all, you have to explain that there are two fathers. One is of this world and the other is from beyond this world.  The greater one would surely be God, the Father from beyond this world. You know that you have now found the Father from beyond this world. No one else knows this, but they will gradually come to know. You children know that Baba is teaching you souls. We souls will shed our bodies and take our next one. We will become the highest-on- high deities. We have come here to become the highest-on-high deities. While moving along, some children leave this highest-on-high study. They start to doubt something or other or they are unable to tolerate the storms of Maya. They are defeated by lust, the greatest enemy. It is because of these reasons that they stop studying. You children have to tolerate a great deal because of lust, your greatest enemy. The Father says: You innocent mothers have been calling out to Me cycle after cycle.  You call out: Baba, save me from being stripped! The Father says: Remembrance is the only method; there is no other way. It is only by having remembrance that you will continue to receive power. Powerful Maya will continue to lose her power and you will then become free. Many become free from bondage in this way and they come here. Their being assaulted comes to an end. Then, they come and talk to Shiv Baba through Brahma. Instil this habit in yourself. Keep it in your intellects that you are going to Shiv Baba. He enters the body of this Brahma. We are sitting in front of Shiv Baba. Only by having remembrance will our sins be absolved. Consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father! These are the only teachings you are given. Even when you come here to meet the Father, consider yourself to be a soul. May you be soul conscious! It is only now that you receive this knowledge. This is the effort you must make. On that path of devotion, people study so many Vedas and scriptures etc. Here, the only effort you have to make is to have remembrance. This is the easiest effort of all. It is also the most difficult effort of all. There is nothing easier than remembering one’s father. Soon after a son is born, he begins to say, “Baba, baba”. Soon after a daughter is born, she begins to say, “Mama, mama”. That soul has adopted a female costume. A female goes to her mother, whereas a son, because he receives an inheritance, generally remembers his father. You souls are all sons. You souls receive your inheritance from the Father by remembering Him. If you are body conscious, it will be difficult for you to claim an inheritance. The Father says: I only teach you children. You children also know that the Father is teaching you. No one but the Father can tell you these things. You loved Him on the path of devotion. All of you were lovers of the one Beloved. The whole world are lovers of the one Beloved. The Supreme Soul is also called the Supreme Father. The Father wouldn’t be called a lover. The Father explains: You were My lovers on the path of devotion. Even now, there are still many who are My lovers. However, they are very confused as to who is called God. They call Ganesh and Hanuman etc. “The Supreme Soul” and totally tangle everything up. No one but the One can untangle it. No one else has the strength to do this. Only the Father comes and explains to you children. You children then understand, numberwise, according to the effort you make, and then become worthy to explain to others. A kingdom is being established. You are studying here exactly as you did a cycle ago. Then, you will receive your reward for this in the new world. That is called the land of immortality. You gain victory over death. There is no untimely death there; the very name is heaven. You children should experience a lot of happiness from this study. By remembering the Father, you also remember the Father’s property. The knowledge of the whole drama enters your intellects in a second. There is the incorporeal world, the subtle region and the corporeal world with its cycle of 84 births. This whole play is based on Bharat. All the rest are by-plots. The Father speaks this knowledge to you. You, who are becoming the highest of all, then become the lowest of all. You become double-crowned kings and then become total beggars.  Bharat has now become a beggar: it is government of the people by the people.  In the golden age, it was the empire of the double-crowned emperors and empresses. Everyone believes in Adi Dev Brahma and he has been given many names. He is also called Mahavir. Hanuman too is called Mahavir. In fact, you children are true mahavirs (brave warriors) and Hanumans (one with deep love for Rama) because you stay in yoga to such an extent that, no matter how many storms of Maya come, you don’t fluctuate. You children of Mahavir become mahavirs because you conquer Maya. Each one of you conquers Ravan, the five vices. It is not a question of one human being. Each of you has to bend the bow, which means you have to conquer Maya. There is no question of battling in this. How do the people of Europe fight? In Bharat, there is the war between the Kauravas and the Yauvanas. It is also remembered that rivers of blood flowed everywhere. Rivers of milk will then flow. Vishnu has been shown in a lake of milk (Kshirsaagar) . Lakshmi and Narayan are Parasnath (the Lord who changes stone into divine beings). In Nepal, they are named Pashupati (One who liberates all souls from the bondage of karma). They are both the one form of Vishnu: Parasnath and Parasnathini (the Lord who makes stone divine and his consort). They are Pashupatinath Pati and Pashupatinath Patni (The Lord and his consort, the liberator of all souls tied in the bondage of karma). They create an idol of Vishnu there and also a lake. From where would milk enter a lake? On important days, they pour milk into that lake, and then show Vishnu lying in a lake of milk. There is no meaning to it. There cannot be a human being with four arms.  You children are now social workers.  You are the children of the spiritual Father, are you not? The Father explains everything. You should have no doubts about this. Doubts mean storms of Maya. You called out to Me: O Purifier, come! Come and purify us! The Father says: Constantly remember Me alone and you will be purified. You also have to remember the cycle of 84 births. Only the Father is called the Purifier, the Ocean of Knowledge. There are two things.  He purifies the impure and also speaks the knowledge of the cycle of 84 births.  You children understand that the cycle of 84 births has to continue all the time; it has no end. You understand this, numberwise, according to the effort you make. The Father is so sweet. He is also called the Husband of all husbands. He is also the Father. The Father says: You children receive a huge inheritance from Me. However, there are even some who divorce Me, the Father. This too is fixed in the drama. They stop studying, which means they divorce Me. They are so senseless! Clever children will easily understand everything and begin to teach others. They will instantly understand what they can receive from a worldly study and what they will receive from this study and they will therefore decide what they should be studying. When Baba asks you children, you children reply that this study is very good. Even then, some say: What can we do? If we don’t study a worldly study, our friends and relatives will become upset. The Father says: Day by day, time is growing shorter. Later, you will not be able to study as much as you can now. Preparations are being made with great force. Preparations are made for every eventuality. Day by day, enmity between one another continues to increase. They say that they have created such things that they can instantly destroy everyone. You children know that, according to the drama, the war cannot start yet. The kingdom first has to be established. Till then, we have to make our preparations. They are also making their preparations. Your influence will spread a great deal later. It is remembered: O God, Your divine play is so wonderful! That praise refers to this time. It is also remembered: Your ways and means are unique. The part that each soul plays is also unique. The Father is now giving you shrimat: Constantly remember Me alone and your sins will be absolved! There is a vast difference between His elevated directions and the directions of human beings. You know that no one, except the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, can bring about peace in the whole world. According to the drama, 100% purity, peace and happiness are being established exactly as they were 5000 years ago. How? Come and understand this. You children must also become helpers. Those who help a great deal become the beads of the rosary of victory. The names that you children were given were so entertaining. A list of those names should be kept in an album. You were kept in a bhatthi. You left your homes and families and came and belonged to the Father. You came and were put in a bhatthi. It was such a strong bhatthi that no one from outside could enter. When you came and belonged to the Father, you had to be given new names. You surrendered everything. This was why each of you was given a different name. It was a wonder! The Father gave all of you names. 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.      Your intellect should have no doubts about anything.  Become a mahavir and overcome the storms of Maya. Stay in yoga to such an extent that no storm of Maya can shake you.

2.      Become clever (akalmand) and use your life for Godly service.   Become a true spiritual social worker. Study this spiritual study and teach others.

Blessing:   May you be a world benefactor (vishv kalyaankaari)  who makes others move forward with the good wishes in your mind (mansa shubh bhavna).

If someone is doing something wrong, consider that one to be under another influence and give him drishti of mercy and transform him. Do not discuss it. If someone comes to a standstill in front of a rock, your duty is to go beyond it and make that one your companion and take him across too.  For this, look at each one’s speciality and continue to renounce weaknesses.  Now is not the time to caution anyone through words, but to move forward and make others move forward by being co-operative with one another through the good wishes in your mind for only then will you be said to be a world benefactor.

Slogan:      Tighten the belt of determination and you will not get upset on your seat.

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 11, 2015: Your True North

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 11, 2015: Your True North

Armillary sphere with a compass-the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia

Your True North

To follow someone else's truth is a trap. The best strategy is to know your own truth, face it and live by it. Others may inspire, guide, give you directions, but ultimately you have to cut your own way through the jungle. You could always be asking others where North is, and they will tell you. Someone will say North is this way and someone else that North is that other way - and both would have been sincere. But you alone has to find your true North.

Responsibility

The one who is responsible is the one who is satisfied. When
responsibility is taken up and fulfilled with commitment, there is
efficiency and effectiveness in the work. This results in
satisfaction and contentment at having made a significant
contribution. Each day let us take up the responsibility of
contributing something significant to any task, even if it is a simple
one. Having done this, we will find that we are able to be happy with
whatever we are doing, for having made some contribution.

Seven Techniques To Let Go Off The Past

Almost each one of us carries a heavy or subtle burden of negative events and happenings that have taken place in our life sometime in the past, either an immediate past or a far-off one; which reduce our present contentment levels immensely. The negative past could be of any form - you experienced the loss of a close loved one due to a break-up or sudden death; you went through a serious physical illness or a very lean phase of financial loss, you were abused on a mental or physical level; you were not treated properly by a colleague at office and undue advantage was taken of you; you performed an inappropriate action and you repent up till now, even after many years have passed, and many such similar and different types of  incidents. 

There are three different types of processes for removing negative past memories from our consciousness:

* Modifying - A negative past event is modified into a positive, beneficial form and then stored in the consciousness.

* Forgetting - Memories of a negative past event are forgotten and do not exist either in our conversations or in our conscious mind or thoughts, but traces of those memories exist in the sub-conscious mind. 

* Erasing - No traces of the negative past exist in the consciousness and memories of it are completely removed from the sub-conscious also.

We need to take the help of all the different aspects or techniques of spirituality and not depend on only one or two for these removal processes. In the next two days' messages, we will explain all these different techniques of spirituality, which if incorporated in our life, help us experience lightness and emotional freedom from the past. All of them have their own unique importance.

Soul Sustenance

Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation - The Power To Tolerate (cont.)

For most people today, if someone insults them, they'll immediately become angry or upset in return, so the situation not only remains unresolved but infact becomes more complicated. Those who are virtuous may be able to remain content and smile for a while, responding with patience, but repeated insults and repeated efforts by the other person to bring them down will tire them until the point come where their tolerance levels are crossed and they will react.

If, however, through my power of spirituality and meditation, I am receiving immense amount of strength from the Supreme Being, my heart will remain open and I won't count how many times the other person has harmed or insulted me. This may sound extremely difficult and may look like an impossible thing to do. Meditation, however, makes the impossible possible. Meditation gives me an experience of a very deep, personal relationship with the Supreme and helps me keep the Supreme as my constant companion, which gives me such power. It's immensely useful for anyone then to move towards that goal.

True tolerance is made possible by openness and acceptance. It doesn't mean clenching my teeth and carrying on, come what may. Suppression of my feelings can cause me internal, physical as well as emotional damage, and end in an outburst which can damage others too.

(To be continued tomorrow …..) 

Message for the day

Life's situations are a game for the one who is prepared to face challenges.

Projection: For the one who is a skilled player, every situation, however challenging it may be, seems like a game. Even the most difficult situation is faced bravely, knowing that it has come to teach something and increase the skill within. So such a person becomes a source of support to those around during difficult times.

Solution: When I am aware of my own skills and specialities, I am able to face all life's situations with lightness and confidence. I enjoy everything that comes my way. I also am able to experience progress as I use all situations as a means for further increasing my own potential


In Spiritual Service,

Om Shanti ! Sakar Murli June 10, 2015

Essence: Sweet children, on the basis of shrimat you are now going into the depths (ati) of silence. You receive the inheritance of peace from the Father. Everything is included in peace.

Question:   On what main foundation is the new world established?

Answer: Purity. When the Father enters the body of Brahma to establish the new world, you become brothers and sisters. All consciousness of male and female ends. When you become pure in this final birth, you then become the masters of the pure world. You promise yourselves that you will live together like brother and sister, that you will have no vision of vice, that you will caution one another and make progress (unnati) .

Song:         Awaken o brides, awaken! The new dawn is about to break.

Om shanti.

You sweetest spiritual children heard the song, and the discus of self-realisation spun in your intellects. The Father too is called Swadarshanchakradhari (Spinner of the discus of self-realisation), because to know the beginning, middle and end of the world means to be a spinner of the discus of self- realisation. No one but the Father can explain these things. Everything for you Brahmins depends on silence. All human beings call Him the Bestower of Peace: "Hey Bestower of Peace!" No one knows who gives peace or who takes us to the land of peace. Only you children know this. Only you Brahmins become swadarshanchakradhari. Deities cannot be called spinners of the discus of self-realisation; there is the difference of day and night. The Father explains to you children: Each of you is a spinner of the discus of self-realisation, numberwise, according to the effort you make. The main thing is to remember the Father. To remember the Father means to claim your inheritance of peace. Everything is included in peace: your lifespan increases and your body becomes free from disease. No one, other than the Father, can make you into swadarshanchakradhari. It is the soul that becomes this. The Father is also this because He has the knowledge of the beginning, middle and end of the world. You also heard in the song that the new world is now being established. These songs have been composed by human beings. The Father sits here and explains the essence of them all. He is the Father of all souls. Therefore, all the children are brothers. When the Father creates the new world, you become brothers and sisters through Prajapita Brahma. Each of you is a Brahma Kumar or Brahma Kumari. When this remains in your intellects, the consciousness of male and female is removed. Human beings don’t understand that we are in fact brothers. Then, when the Father creates creation, we become brothers and sisters and criminal vision ends. The Father also reminds us that we had been calling out: O Purifier come! Now, that I have come, `I tell you to remain pure in this final birth. You will then become the masters of the pure world. Your exhibition pictures should be in every home because you children are Brahmins. You should definitely have these pictures in your homes. It's very easy to explain using these pictures. The discus of 84 births is in your intellects. OK, a teacher can be sent to you; she can come and do service and leave. You can set up an exhibition. On the path of devotion, when someone doesn’t know anything about worshipping Krishna or any mantras etc., he invites a brahmin priest to come. He would come every day and perform some ceremony. You too can invite someone. This knowledge is in fact very easy. The Father must have created the world through Prajapita Brahma. Therefore, Brahma Kumars and Kumaris must have become brothers and sisters. Each of you promises that both of you will live together as brother and sister and that you will not have any vision of vice. You will caution one another and make progress. The main thing is the pilgrimage of remembrance.  Those people try so hard to go high up there with the power of science. However, there is no world up there. That is called going into the depths of science. You are now going into the depths of silence on the basis of shrimat. They have science, whereas you have silence. You children know that you souls are yourselves embodiments of silence. You take bodies just to play your parts. No one can live without performing actions. The Father says: Consider yourself to be a soul, separate from that body, and remember the Father and your sins will be absolved. This is very easy. Explain this most of all to My devotees, those who worship Shiva. The most elevated worship of all is that of Shiva because He is the Bestower of Salvation for All. You children know that the Father has now come and that He will take us all back with Him. At the right time, according to the drama, we will reach our karmateet stage and then destruction will take place. A lot of effort has to be made so that we souls become satopradhan. We have to follow the Father’s shrimat. The Gita is called Shrimad Bhagawad Gita. This is great praise. The praise sung of the deities is that they are completely virtuous, completely viceless.  The Father Himself comes and makes us completely pure.  It is when the world becomes completely impure that the Father comes and makes the world completely pure. Everyone says that they are children of God.  Therefore, there definitely has to be the inheritance of heaven. Through Prajapita Brahma, the Father of Humanity, we have now become brothers and sisters.  The Father also came in the previous cycle. This is why Shiv Jayanti (birthday of Shiva) is celebrated. You must definitely have become the children of Prajapita Brahma. You promise the Father: Baba, we will live together as companions and lead a pure life.  We will follow Your directions.  This is not a big thing.  This is now your final birth. This world of death is going to end. You have now become sensible. If someone calls himself God, you can say: God is the Bestower of Salvation for All, so how can that one call himself this? However, you understand that that is a play in the drama. The Father is making you children into spinners of the discus of self-realisation. The Father says: Remain busy in service. Start an exhibition in every home. There is no greater act of charity than this. There is no other charity as great as that of showing the way to the Father.  The Father says: Remember Me alone, and your sins will be absolved.  This is why you called out to the Father: O Purifier, Liberator, Guide, come!  You are the ones also remembered as Pandavas.  The Father is the Guide.  He takes all souls back.  Those guides are physical whereas that One is the spiritual Guide. Those are physical pilgrimages, whereas this is a spiritual pilgrimage. In the golden age there are no physical pilgrimages of the path of devotion. There, you are worthy of being worshipped. The Father is now making you so sensible.  Therefore, you should follow the Father's directions. should you not? If there are any doubts etc, you should ask. The Father says: Sweetest children, become soul conscious. Consider yourselves to be souls and remember the Father. You are My beloved children, are you not? You have been My lovers for half the cycle. There are many names for just the One. So many names have been given and so many temples have been built.  However, I am only One.  My name is Shiva. I came into Bharat 5000 years ago and adopted you children. I am now adopting you again. Because you are children of Brahma, you are also grandsons and granddaughters. Here, it is the soul that claims an inheritance. In this, it is not a question of being a brother and sister. It is the soul that studies and claims an inheritance. Everyone has a right to this.  Whatever you children can see in this old world, it is all going to be destroyed. There truly is the Mahabharat War. The unlimited Father is giving you your unlimited inheritance. He gives us unlimited knowledge. Therefore, there ought to be unlimited renunciation. You know that a cycle ago too, the Father taught you Raja Yoga. This sacrificial fire in which the horse is sacrificed had been created. Then, a golden-aged, new world was definitely needed for the kingdom. The old world had been destroyed. It is a matter of 5000 years. It was through this war taking place that the gates of heaven opened.  : “Come and understand how the door to heaven is opening.” If you cannot explain, then invite others to come and explain. The number of you will then gradually grow. There are many of you Brahmins, children of Prajapita Brahma. The inheritance is received from Shiv Baba. He is the Father of all. Keep it clearly in your intellects that you are becoming deities from Brahmins. We were deities and we then went around the cycle. We have now become Brahmins and we will then go to the land of Vishnu. This knowledge is very easy but only a few out of millions emerge. So many come to the exhibitions, but hardly anyone emerges. Some simply praise it and say it's very good and that they'll come. Only a few rare ones come and take the seven days' course. Now, what is seven days anyway? The Gita is recited over seven days. You also have to be in a bhatthi for seven days. By considering yourself to be a soul and remembering the Father, all the rubbish will be removed from you. You have to remove the dirty sickness of body consciousness that you have accumulated over half the cycle. Become soul conscious! The seven days' course is not a big one.  Some can be pierced by an arrow in just a second. Those who come last can go ahead fast. They would say that they will race and definitely claim the inheritance from the Father. Some even go faster than the older ones because they are now given very good ready-made points. It is so easy to explain the pictures etc. at the exhibitions. If you yourself cannot explain, then invite a sister to come every day and explain. It used to be the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan 5000 years ago. It continued for 1250 years. It is such a short story. We were deities, then we became warriors, then merchants and then shudras. I, the soul, became a Brahmin. The meaning of “Hum so” (as I was, so I shall become) is explained very accurately. There is the picture of the variety form, but Brahmins and Shiv Baba have been removed from that. No one understands the meaning of that picture at all. You children now have to make effort for remembrance. You mustn't have any doubts. If you want to become conquerors of sinful actions and claim an elevated status, then stop thinking about why something happens, or why someone does what he does. Stop all of that and just have the one thought of becoming satopradhan from tamopradhan.  To the extent that you remember the Father, to that extent you will become a conqueror of sinful actions and claim an elevated status. As well as that, don't spoil your head by listening to wasteful things. Above all, the most important thing is not to forget Him. Don't waste your time with anyone.  Your time is very valuable.  Don't be afraid of storms.  Many difficulties will come and there may be a loss, but don't ever forget to have remembrance of the Father. It is through this remembrance that we have to become pure. We have to claim an elevated status through our own efforts. This old father claims such an elevated status, so why shouldn't you? This too is a study. You don’t need to pick up any books etc. The full story is in your intellects. It is such a short story. It’s a matter of a second. “Liberation-in-life is received in a second." The main thing is to remember the Father. You forget the Father who is making you into the masters of the world! You say that not everyone will become a king! Ah! But, why do you worry about everyone else? Are they concerned at school that everyone should claim a scholarship? They just start studying. It is understood from each one's efforts what status each of them will claim. 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.      This time is very valuable.  Don't waste it on useless matters.  No matter how many storms come, or whatever loss is incurred, stay in remembrance of the Father.

2.      Just think about changing from tamopradhan to satopradhan.  Don't think about anything else. Understand and explain with tact (yukti)  the short story of "Hum so, so hum".

Blessing:   May you be truly loving and co-operative and burn the Ravan of waste while wearing the armour (kavach) of humility.

No matter how much someone tries to find weaknesses in your gathering, let there not be the slightest conflict of sanskars or nature visible. Even if someone insults you or defames you, you just become a saint. Even if someone is doing something wrong, you just remain right. Even if someone is creating conflict, just give them the water of love. “What is this? Why is this like this?” Do not pour oil on to the fire by having such thoughts. Just wear the armour of humility. Where there is humility, there will definitely be love and co-operation (sneh & sahyog).

Slogan:      Merge all the many limited feelings of the consciousness of “mine” into “My Baba”.

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 10, 2015: Respect

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 10, 2015: Respect

Respect

When I learn to respect myself, other people will respect me. How can I develop respect for myself? By keeping my mind positive and encouraging myself to grow and change for the better. Demanding respect because of my position or background is simply arrogance. On the other hand, listening with humility and valuing other people's advise naturally earns me respect. I get back exactly what I give out.

Responsibility

The one who is responsible changes first before he expects others to
change. The one who is responsible is a leader. He would take up the
responsibility to change himself first instead of waiting for others
to change. With the change that he brings in himself he inspires
others to change too. When we think of any situation where we were
expecting someone else to change, we also need to think of one aspect
in this situation in which we can bring about a change in ourselves.
We need to take up the responsibility of changing this and we would
find ourselves progressing, thus inspiring others to take the
inspiration to change too.

Meditation To Restore Inner Freedom

Experience the following thoughts one after the other:

I relax...

I release all tensions...

I create a space of silence...

I move towards my inner self, letting my thoughts gradually focus on the experience of peace...

For a few moments I reflect on all the things that affect me, that have a negative influence on me, the people, the situations; everything that stops me from achieving a state of inner freedom...

Around me I visualize a luminous circle (circle of light); there is a great power of silence...

I feel protected inside this circle of subtle spiritual power...

Nothing can take away my positivity, my inner peace, my strength and wisdom...

I can be free to think and feel what I choose. Internally I am free. I am not at the mercy of anyone or any situation...

Soul Sustenance

Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation - The Power To Tolerate

Visualize a tree with lots of fruits hanging from its branches. When I throw a stone at it, what does it do? It bends its branches low and offers its sweet fruit to me. I enjoy eating the fruit, which gives me inner satisfaction. What happens as a result? My respect for the tree increases.

This is a beautiful image of the power of tolerance and I have lots to learn from it. It shows me that if I want to imbibe the characteristics of the tree, I must become full of the fruits of the spiritual attainments from the Supreme Soul. When I am filled internally with fruits like joy, love, wisdom, beauty and peace through spiritual knowledge and meditation; even when the stones of difficult circumstances come my way I'll still be able to respond positively and creatively, with courage and humility. If I'm empty, the stones will injure me, and I'll react with anger or fear or ego or some other negative emotion.

Also, although many stones have injured me in the past, I must remove any hurt in my heart, which may have developed as a result of injuries experienced from them, when I did not have the Supreme Soul with me. These will prevent me from sharing the unlimited fruit made possible by the company of the Supreme.

Real tolerance means tolerating with pleasure and not with stress. It does not just mean putting up with a difficult situation, and at the same time counting how many times I have had to tolerate it. Tolerance means that no matter what stones come my way, I realize completely that those throwing them are souls not full of attainments, and so my duty is to continue to share my internal attainments with them.

Message for the day

Commitment for truth brings constant happiness.

Projection: For the one who is constantly with the truth, there will be no fluctuations in the happiness - experienced by the self and expressed to the others. So there is benefit for both the self and others through this. Only when there is no truth, the support of falsehood is taken to prove and defend oneself. So the happiness is not retained constantly.

Solution: When I am committed towards living by the truth, I will not be influenced by the different situations that I am faced with, but will be able to experience constant happiness. I will never be influenced negatively by negative situations and allow myself to lose my happiness. Also I naturally find my happiness rising constantly.
