Om Shanti! Sakar  Murli June 17, 2015
Essence: Sweet children, you are the Father’s helpers (madadgaar) who establishes the kingdom of peace over the whole world. The world of peace and happiness is now in front of you.
Question:    Why does the Father teach you children? What is the essence (saar)  of this study?
Answer:    The Father teaches you children in order to make you into the princes of heaven, the masters of the world. The Father says: Children, the essence of this study is: Renounce all the things of the world. Never think that you have millions or hundreds of thousands. You won’t be able to hold on to anything. Therefore, make effort very well and pay attention to this study.
Song:         At last the day for which we had been waiting has come!
Om shanti.
You children heard the song: at last, the time has come for there to be peace in this world. Everyone asks how there can be peace in this world. Those who give good advice for this are given a prize. Nehru too gave advice, but peace was not accomplished through that.  He just gave his advice and departed. It is in the intellects of you children that there was peace, happiness and prosperity in the whole world at some time.  That doesn’t exist any more.  It will come again.  The cycle has to turn.  This is in the intellects of you confluence-aged Brahmins. You have gold in your intellects. You know that Bharat will become golden again. Bharat is called the “Golden Sparrow”. Although people sing this praise, it is just for the sake of it. You are now making practical effort for this.  You know that only a few more days now remain. So you are able to forget all the sorrowful things of hell. Your intellects know that the world of happiness is just ahead of you. Previously, when it used to take a long time to come from abroad, you understood that it would only be a short time to go before you reached your destination. Now you can reach your destination very quickly by aeroplane. It is now in the intellects of you children that your days of happiness are to come again. You are making effort for this. Baba has shown you how to make effort very easily. According to the drama, this is certain, exactly as it was a cycle ago. You were deities. So many temples to the deities are now being built. You children know what they will do after building the temples etc. How many days now remain? You children are authorities of knowledge. It is said: The Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, is the Almighty Authority. You are authorities of knowledge and they are authorities of devotion. The Father is called the Almighty Authority. You children become this, numberwise, according to the effort you make. You have the knowledge of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. You know that you are making effort to claim your inheritance from the Father. Those who are authorities of devotion only speak of devotion to everyone. You are the authorities of knowledge. Therefore, you only speak of knowledge. There is no devotion in the golden age; there isn’t a single worshipper there. Everyone there is worthy of being worshipped. For the first half of the cycle, you are worthy of being worshipped and for the other half you are worshippers. This only refers to the people of Bharat. When they were worthy of being worshipped, Bharat was heaven. The people of Bharat became worshippers and it is now hell. You children are now creating your lives in a practical way. You continue to explain to everyone, numberwise, according to your own efforts. The number of you continues to grow. This is already fixed in advance in the drama. The drama inspires you to make effort and you continue to do this. You know that you have imperishable parts to play in the drama. What would anyone in the world know about these things? We have this part in the drama. Those who speak about this, understand how we have this part in the drama. This world cycle continues to turn.  No one but you knows the history and geography of the world.  No one in the world knows who the Highest on High is. Rishis and munis etc. used to say: We don’t know. They would say: Neti, neti (Neither this nor that ….). You children now know that the Father is the Creator, and that He is now teaching us. Baba has told you repeatedly: When you sit here, sit in the stage of soul consciousness. Only the one Father teaches you Raja Yoga and explains the history and geography of the world to you. The Father says: I am not a thought reader. The world is so large. Why should I read anything about it? The Father Himself says: I come to purify you according to what is fixed in the drama.  I come to play the part that I have in the drama, but I do not read anyone’s thoughts. I tell you what part I play and what parts you play. You learn this knowledge and teach it to others. My part is to purify the impure. Only you children know this. You know the date and time etc. No one else in the world knows this. The Father is teaching you. Then, when this cycle comes to an end, Baba will come again. Whatever scene is played out now will repeat after a cycle. One second cannot be the same as the next. This drama continues to turn.  You children now know about this unlimited play.  In spite of that, you repeatedly forget it. Baba says: Simply remember that Baba is your Father, that He is also your Teacher and Guru. Your intellects should go in that direction. You souls become happy on hearing the praise of the Father. Everyone says: Our Baba is our Father and Teacher and He is nothing but the Truth.  This study is also true and complete. The studies of other people are incomplete. You children should have so much happiness in your intellects. Those who pass a high examination have greater happiness in their intellects. You are studying such elevated teachings. Therefore, your heads should explode with the happiness (kaapaari khushi) you experience. God, Baba, the unlimited Father, is teaching us! You should have goose pimples. The same episode of the Gita is now being repeated. No one but you knows this. They have lengthened the duration of the cycle. The whole story of 5000 years continues to go around in your intellects. This is called the discus of self- realisation. Some children say: Baba, there are many storms, and so I forget You. Baba asks: Whom do you forget? How could you forget the Father who is making you into the double-crowned masters of the world? You don’t forget anyone else. You remember everyone: your wife, children, maternal uncle, paternal uncle, friends and relations. Therefore, how can you forget this aspect? Your battle lies in remembering this. Stay in remembrance as much as possible. In order to make progress, you children should wake up early in the morning and go for a walk in remembrance of the Father. You can go on to the roof terraces or outside, in the cool breeze. It is not necessary to come and sit here; you can go outside. There is no question of fear etc. early in the morning. You can go out for a walk. Talk amongst yourselves about who remembers Baba the most. Then, share with others how much you remembered Baba and where your intellect went for the rest of the time. This is called making progress with one another. Note down how long you remembered the Father. Baba tells you of his own practice. Even when you walk for an hour in remembrance, your legs will not become tired. So many sins can then be absolved by having remembrance. You know the cycle. Day and night, only keep in your intellects the fact that you are now to return home. You are making effort. Iron-aged human beings know nothing of this at all. They do so much devotion in order to attain liberation. There are so many opinions. You Brahmins only have one opinion. All of those who become Brahmins have shrimat to follow.  You become deities by following the Father’s shrimat. Deities do not have shrimat. It is only at this time that you Brahmins are given shrimat. God is the incorporeal One. He is teaching you Raja Yoga through which you claim your fortune of the kingdom and become the elevated masters of the world. There are so many Vedas and scriptures on the path of devotion. However, only the one Gita is of any use. God comes and teaches Raja Yoga. Only those teachings are called the Gita. You are now studying with the Father from whom you claim the kingdom of heaven. Those who study claim it. This is the part you play in the drama. Only the one Father is the Ocean of Knowledge and only He speaks this knowledge to you. According to the drama plan, He only comes at the confluence age. He comes between the end of the iron age and the beginning of the golden age. Don’t become confused about anything. The Father enters this one and teaches you. No one else can teach you. If this one (Dada) had studied with anyone else, many others would also have studied with that same one. The Father says: I also come to uplift all the gurus etc.  The aim and objective of you children is now in front of you. We are becoming that. This is the true story of becoming Narayan from an ordinary human. He is then praised on the path of devotion. The systems of the path of devotion carry on.  Ravan’s kingdom is now to end.  You no longer go anywhere to celebrate Dashera etc. You go to explain to them what they are doing. That is the work of babies.  All the eminent people go to see how they burn Ravan. No one knows who he is. This is the kingdom of Ravan. People celebrate Dashera with so much happiness. They continue to burn Ravan at that festival; their sorrow still continues. They have no understanding. You now understand how senseless you were. Ravan makes you senseless. You now say: Baba, we will definitely become Lakshmi or Narayan. We will not make any less effort.  This is our only school and this study is very easy.  If you old mothers are unable to remember anything else, you can at least remember the Father. “Oh Rama!” emerges from their mouths. Baba tells you this very easy method: You are a soul, remember the Father, the Supreme Soul, and your boat will go across. Where will you go? To the land of peace and the land of happiness. Forget everything else. Forget whatever you have heard or studied previously. Consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father and you will definitely receive your inheritance from the Father. It is only by having this remembrance that your sins can be cut away. It is so easy! It is said: “A wonderful star sparkles in the centre of the forehead”. Therefore, a soul would surely be very tiny. Doctors try very hard to see a soul, but it is very subtle. No one can see it by using any type of physical means. The Father too is just a point. He says: Just as you are ordinary, so I too become ordinary in order to teach you. How could anyone know how God is teaching us? If Krishna were to teach you, people from America, Japan and everywhere else would come here. He has that much attraction. Everyone loves Krishna. You children know that you are now becoming like him. Krishna is a prince. If you want to take Krishna in your lap, you have to make effort. This is not a big thing.  The Father teaches you children in order to make you into the princes of heaven, the masters of the world. The Father says: Children, the essence of this study is to renounce everything of the world. Never think that you have millions or hundreds of thousands. You won’t be able to hold on to anything. Therefore, make effort very well. When you come to the Father, He complains: You have been attending class for eight months and for all that time you haven’t yet met the Father from whom you receive the sovereignty of heaven. Such children reply to Baba that they had this or that work.  Oh! but what if you had died? How would you have been able to come here? These excuses will not do. The Father is teaching you Raja Yoga and you are not studying it. For those who have done a lot of devotion, it would take, let alone seven days, but just a second for the arrow to pierce them. You can become a master of the world in a second. This one, who is experienced, is sitting here. He had a vision of destruction and the four-armed image (chaturbhuj roop) and understood that he was to become a master of the world. Through the visions he had, he became enthusiastic and so renounced everything. You children know that the Father has come here to give you your sovereignty of heaven. The Father asks: For how long have you had this faith? You reply: For eight months. Baba has explained that the main things are remembrance and knowledge. Visions etc. are of no use. Once you have recognised the Father, begin to study and you will become like that. You can explain to anyone the points you receive. Explain with a lot of sweetness: Shiv Baba, the Purifier, says: Remember Me and you will become pure masters of the pure world. Explain with great cleverness: You do want God, the Father, to liberate you and to take you back to your sweet home, do you not? All right. In order to remove the rust that is covering you souls, the Father says: Remember Me! 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.      Wake up early in the morning and go for a walk in remembrance of the Father. Have a sweet heart-to-heart conversation among yourselves to see for how long each of you remembers Baba and then share your experience.
2.      Once you have recognised the Father, don’t make any excuses, but remain occupied in this study. Never miss a murli.


Blessing:     May you be a self-transformer (sw-parivartak) and become real gold and successful in every task by moulding yourself.
Those who mould themselves to every adverse situation and become self-transformers are constantly successful. Therefore, keep the aim of transforming yourself; not that you will change when others change. “Whether others change or not, I have to change. I have to become Arjuna. Let me always be first in bringing about transformation”. Those who put themselves first in this claim the first number because those who mould themselves are real gold. Only real gold has value.
Slogan:       Reveal (pratyaksh)  the Father with the practical proof (pratyaksh pramaan) of your elevated life.

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 17, 2015: True Diamonds

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 17, 2015: True Diamonds





True Diamonds

Become a true diamond. Eat the nourishment of happiness and never give sorrow to anyone. There is a difference between true and false. True diamonds sparkle from afar.


Tolerance

Tolerance enables one to learn from mistakes. When one is sure of what
he is doing and he is in his stage of self-respect, criticism can be
taken in the right way. This will give the ability to look within
when something goes wrong. Instead of justifying mistakes there will
be the ability to learn from them and improve. When someone criticises
us, we need to remind ourselves that we have something to learn from
it. Let us ask ourselves if there is at least a small aspect that we
could learn from and incorporate in our life. Let us take this aspect
and leave the rest.


Role Induced Stress

A very common form of stress which has raised its head in recent years is stress induced due to one's role.  There was once a famous movie actor, well known as one of the best of all time and he was obviously very much aware of the same. One day as he was shooting for his new film; his director, a very prominent figure in the film-making arena, mentioned to him that there was a general perception spreading in the film industry as well as in the film going audiences that the actor was getting older with time and his performance was dropping and he needed to spruce up his performances if he had to compete with the younger actors. As soon as he heard this, he started taking his acting role and everything related to it over seriously and lost his happiness completely because he had been used to listening only to praises regarding his performances and reputation all his life. He also forgot all that the world had given him all his life, all the love, respect and adulation and became angry, bitter and resentful towards everyone he met, believing that they no longer held those feelings for him as much as before. Also a general sense of fear and nervousness started developed inside him regarding his next performance.

One piece of information had changed him altogether. What had gripped him - 'Role Induced Stress'. His emotion of stress was made of three sub emotions - sorrow, anger and fear (or worry). What was the cause - he over identified with his role. He 'believed' he was an extremely famous hero actor. But was hero actor what he was? It's what he did. But he learned to believe it is what he is.  Even we need to remind ourself that we get to play various roles on the world stage of action and that if we over-identify with any of the roles, which a lot of us do, then just like the actor, our creativity, spontaneity and lightness is reduced and we start to take things far too seriously, more than necessary, and as a result get stressed.

(To be continued tomorrow ...)


Soul Sustenance

Understanding Fear

Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to wish for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Fear is an energy that puts a brake on you and prevents you from doing what you want and aiming where you want to go. It blocks you in the communication and expression of what you want to say. Fear makes you hide, suppress and not express the most attractive; the most beautiful part of your inner self.

Fear has an influence on our capacity to reason, discriminate and take decisions. It makes us doubt, it makes us indecisive even in the simplest decisions of our lives. Fear does not allow your energy to flow, and that weakens your state of wellbeing and general health. Fear locks you into yourself and makes you become indecisive. It is a shadow over your inner self that prevents you from acting with ease and fluidity. It reduces your capacity of expression, of being yourself, of dealing with life and flowing in it.

Message for the day

Faith in one's progress brings contentment.

Projection: Even when the situation is not according to what is expected, there is contentment for the one who has faith in his own progress. Such a person will not just sit back waiting for things to change nor will he just curse his fate. Instead he'll do his best and use all his resources in bettering the situation.

Solution: The understanding that all life's situations are a training for me, automatically keeps me content in all situations. There is naturally an experience of constant progress and a feeling of having gained something from all situations.


In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris


Om Shanti! Sakar Murli June 16, 2015




Om Shanti! Sakar  Murli June 16, 2015
Essence: Sweet children, you have to study and teach others (padhna aur padhaana) for as long as you live. The basis of your happiness and status is this study (padhaai).
Question:   Which main virtue is needed to attain success in service?
Answer: Tolerance (sahansheelta). You have to be tolerant in every situation. Get together and do service. Make lecture programmes etc. There will be many arrangements made to awaken human beings from their sleep. The children who are to become fortunate (takdeerwaan) will study with interest.
Song:         We have to follow the path where we keep falling and so we must continue to be cautious.
Om shanti.
With what thought do you children come here to Madhuban? What study do you come to study here? Whom do you come to? (To BapDada.) This is something new. Have you ever heard of anyone going to BapDada in order to study? And, in that too, a Bap and Dada who are combined? It is a wonder! You are the children of the wonderful Father. You children neither knew the Creator nor the beginning, middle or end of creation. You now know that Creator and creation, numberwise, according to the effort you make. You experience happiness and claim a status in the future to the extent that you understand this and also explain to others. The main thing is that we now know the Creator and the beginning, middle and end of creation. Only we Brahmins know this. For as long as you live, have the faith that you are Brahma Kumars and Kumaris and are claiming your inheritance of the whole world from Shiv Baba. Whether you study fully or only a little is a different matter, but at least you know that you are His children! Then, the question of studying or not studying arises. The status you receive is according to that. As soon as you come into His lap, you have the faith that you will claim a right to the kingdom. However, there can be a difference of day and night in how you study. Some study and teach others very well and wouldn’t think of doing anything else. Just to study and teach others will continue till the end.  In the student life of a physical education, their studies don’t continue till the end; there is a fixed length of time. You have to study and teach others for as long as you live. Ask yourself: To how many people have I given the Father’s, the Creator’s, introduction?  Human beings are human beings.  To look at, there is no difference in them; there is no difference in their bodies. This study echoes inside your intellects. To the extent that you study, you experience happiness accordingly. There is the feeling inside you that you are to become the masters of the new world. We are now going to the gates of heaven. Constantly ask your heart: How much difference is there in me? The Father has made me belong to Him and completely changed me from what I was. Everything depends on this study. Human beings can become so elevated by studying. Any status they receive here lasts for a few moments. There is nothing in that. It is as though it is useless. There was no character developed through that study. You are now becoming so elevated through this study. Full attention has to be paid to this study. Those who have it in their fortune put their hearts into the study. They also inspire others in different ways to make effort in this study. They feel that they want to teach them and make them into the masters of Paradise. You people beat your heads so much and have to continue to beat your heads to awaken human beings from their sleep. These exhibitions are nothing. As you make further progress, many other facilities will be created to help you explain to others. The Father is now making you pure. Therefore, pay attention to His teachings! You have to remain tolerant in every situation. Have a get- together among yourselves and create programmes for lectures etc. We can explain very well with just the topic of Alpha. Who is God, the Highest on High? You could give a lecture on Alpha for two hours. You also know that you experience happiness when you remember Alpha.  When you children pay less attention to your pilgrimage of remembrance and you don’t remember Alpha, you definitely do experience a loss. Everything depends on remembrance. By remembering Him, you reach heaven. By forgetting Him, you fall. No one else can understand these things. No one knows Shiv Baba at all. No matter with how much splendour they worship Him or remember Him, they understand nothing. You receive so much property (jaageer) from the Father. People on the path of devotion beat their heads so much in order to receive a vision (deedaar) of Krishna. OK, so they had a glimpse! Then what? There was no benefit in that. Look what everyone else in the world is following! It is as though you are drinking pure sugar-cane juice and everyone else is just sucking the sugar cane. You are now drinking this sugar-cane juice and filling your stomachs and experiencing happiness for half the cycle. Everyone else is sucking the sugar cane of the path of devotion and continuing to come down. The Father is now inspiring you to make effort with so much love. However, if it is not in their fortune, they don’t pay attention. Neither do they pay attention themselves nor do they allow others to pay attention. They neither drink the nectar nor allow others to drink it. Many people behave in such a way. If you don’t study well and don’t become merciful and benefit anyone, what status would you claim? Those who study and teach others claim such a high status. If you don’t study, you know what status you will claim as the result of your progress. At that time, you will feel that Baba really did give you so many warnings. While sitting here, it should enter your intellects that you are sitting with the unlimited Father. He comes from up above and teaches us through this body as He did in the previous cycle. We are now, once again, sitting in front of the Father. We have to return home with Him. He is not going to leave us behind. The Father will take us back with Him. This old world is to be destroyed. No one else knows these things. Later on, they will understand that this old world is going to end. They won’t be able to receive anything then. No one else knows these things. It will then be too late. Everyone has to settle their accounts and return home. Only the sensible children know this. True children are those who follow the Mother and Father and stay busy doing service. Just as the Father does spiritual service, so you have to do the same. Baba praises the children who constantly have this one concern. You have to become like them. Everyone has a teacher.  You all come here too.  The big Teacher is sitting here.  How will you be able to reform yourselves if you don’t even remember the Father? Knowledge is very easy.  The cycle of 84 births is so easy, and yet you have to beat your heads so much! The Father explains everything so easily. Remember the Father and the cycle of 84 births and your boat will go across. Give everyone this message. Ask your heart: To what extent have I become a messenger? The more people you wake up, the greater the prize you will receive. If I am not waking up others, I too must surely be asleep. In that case, the status I receive won’t be that high. Baba says that you should look at your chart of the whole day every evening. You also have to keep busy doing service. The main thing is to give the Father’s introduction. The Father made Bharat into heaven. It is now hell and it is now once again to become heaven. The cycle has to turn. You have to change from tamopradhan to satopradhan. Remember the Father and then the vices will be removed from you. There are very few people in the golden age. Later, in the kingdom of Ravan, the population grows so much. The 900,000 at the start of the golden age gradually increase. Those who are initially pure then become impure. In the golden age, there is the pure family path of deities. Those same ones then become those of the impure family path. This cycle has to turn according to the drama. You are now becoming those of the pure family path. Only the Father can come and purify you. He says: Remember Me and your sins will be absolved. You were pure for half the cycle. Then, when Ravan’s kingdom started, you became impure. You now understand these things. We too were not worth a penny. We have now received so much knowledge. It is this knowledge that completely transforms us from what we were. All other religions will be destroyed. Everyone will die just like animals.  When there is snow, so many animals and birds die. There will be natural calamities as well. Everything will be destroyed. Everyone is already dead. Whatever you can see now with your physical eyes will no longer exist. There will be very few people in the new world. You have this knowledge in your intellects. The Father, the Ocean of Knowledge, is giving you your inheritance of knowledge. You know that there is now nothing but rubbish in the whole world. We became so dirty in the rubbish. Baba is removing us from the rubbish and making us beautiful. We souls will shed these bodies and become pure. The Father teaches everyone the same study, but some people’s intellects are completely dead, so they are unable to understand anything. This too is fixed in the drama. The Father says: If it is not in their fortune, what can I do? I give everyone the same teachings. They study numberwise. Some understand everything very well and explain it to others and make the lives of others as valuable as diamonds. Some don’t do this at all and yet they have so much arrogance. Scientists have so much pride in their intellects. They want to examine what’s above and beyond the sky and what’s in the depths of the ocean. The Father says: There is no benefit in any of that. The people who are proud of their science are beating their heads for nothing. They receive big salaries that they continue to waste. It isn’t that the golden Dwaraka emerges from down below. This cycle of the drama continues to turn. Then, when the time comes, we will go and build our palaces in the new world. Some become very amazed and ask if the same buildings will be built again. Definitely! The Father shows you how you will once again build such golden palaces. There is a lot of gold there. Even now, in some places, there are mountains of gold, but that gold can’t be excavated. In the new world, there were plenty of gold mines, but they are now empty. Look at the cost of a diamond today! Today it costs so much whereas tomorrow it will become like stone. The Father tells you very wonderful things and also grants you visions. You children should keep it in your intellects that it is now 5000 years since you souls left your home called the land of liberation. People on the path of devotion beat their heads so much in order to receive liberation. However, you now understand that no one but the Father can grant liberation. No one but He can take you back with Him. You children now have the new world in your intellects. You know that this cycle has to turn.   You must not get involved in any other matters.   Simply remember the Father.   Tell everyone: Remember the Father and your sins will be absolved. The Father made you into the masters of heaven, did He not?  You celebrate My birthday, Shiva Jayanti.  How many years has it been since then?  It is a matter of 5000 years since you became the residents of heaven. Then, you went around the cycle of 84 births. This drama is predestined. I come and explain the world cycle to you. You children now remember this very clearly. We are the most elevated actors. We are playing our parts with Baba. We are following Baba’s shrimat and staying in remembrance of Him and making others become like ourselves. Those who became this in the previous cycle will do so again. You continue to watch as detached observers and also inspire others to make effort. In order to have constant enthusiasm, sit in solitude every day and talk to yourself. This peaceless world will now remain for only a short while longer. Then there will be no mention of peacelessness. No one will even ask how there can be peace of mind. Everyone is now looking everywhere for peace. However, only the one Father is the Ocean of Peace. No one else has this peace. This knowledge should echo in the intellects of you children. To know the Creator and creation is called knowledge. One is for peace and the other is for happiness. You receive happiness through wealth. If human beings don’t have money, they feel useless. So much sin is committed for money. The Father gives you infinite wealth. Heaven is gold and hell is stone. 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 time to sit in solitude (ekaant) and talk to yourself. Make yourself enthusiastic. Together with doing service to make others become like yourself, practise becoming a detached observer (saakshi) so you see each one’s part.
2.      Remember the Father and reform yourself. Ask your heart: Have I become a messenger? How many am I making become like myself?

Blessing: May you finish all the account of waste (vyarth ka khaata) by remaining in the trikaldarshi stage and become a constant embodiment of success (safaltamoort).
To remain stable in the trikaldarshi stage means to check every thought, word and deed before performing it as to whether it is wasteful or powerful (vyarth or samarth) . Waste can create damage of multimillions in a second whereas something powerful earns an income of multimillions in a second. Even one second’s waste brings a great loss through which even the income you had earned is concealed. Therefore, instead of performing actions as a seer of one aspect of time, do everything while remaining stable in the trikaldarshi stage and any waste will then finish and you will become a constant embodiment of success.
Slogan:      The renunciation (tyaag)  of respect, honour and facilities (maan,shaan,saadhan) is the greatest.

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 16, 2015: Banish Ego

Daily Positive Thoughts: June 16, 2015: Banish Ego




The Sphinx-Egypt


Banish Ego


Ego is not just having a big head. Ego is present every time you feel any kind of fear, or hear yourself saying "That's mine!". The truth tells us that nothing is 'mine' or 'yours', we are all trustees, and fear is only present where there is the voice of attachment. So where there is ego, there is attachment, and where there is attachment there is fear, and where there is fear there cannot be love and where there is no love there is misery. This is why there is so much unhappiness in the world. Detach from everything, and you will banish ego, fear will be no more, only then can true love return, and our oldest friend happiness will feel it is then safe to make a reappearance in your life.



Tolerance


Tolerance is to be in the natural stage of self-respect. When there is appreciation for the self there will be self-respect. And where there is true self-respect there will be no ego or arrogance of the special
qualities in oneself. Let us think of one aspect in ourselves which we
think is our speciality. We then need to make the practice of
reminding ourselves of this speciality. When we increase our self-
respect in this way based on our speciality, we'll find our power of
tolerance increasing too.


Valuing The Physical And The Non Physical

When the soul leaves the body, it's not just the body that dies but it's as if all the connections with the world of that individual are simply switched off. Not only the relationships but all specific plans, projects and desires suddenly have no further means (medium) through which they can be expressed or put into practice. The powers of thinking, deciding and the personality traits (sanskaras) connected with the life that is being left behind, stop and get hidden momentarily to emerge again in a new body, a new life. All the material things that belonged to that particular individual are passed on to others.

It's interesting to note that even when the body is sick it can only be treated when the soul is still present. If we take out the soul no one remains to look after the body.

On the other hand, the body is a truly marvelous vehicle for the soul to express itself through. No manufactured machine could hope to compete. For example, it is calculated that in just one day, the brain is able to complete a hundred times more connections than the entire telecommunications system of the planet. Or compare the human eye with any manufactured camera or the heart with any manufactured pump. The body's importance cannot be played down or not taken into account.


Soul Sustenance

The Spiritual Seed And The Human World Tree

Spirituality introduces God or the Supreme Being as a seed, a point of reference, the spiritual Pole Star, remembered by all souls all over the world. But over a period of time, with an experience of linking my mind and intellect with Him, we realize that although He is a seed, a point, He is a not a non-living seed but a living one with a unique personality of his own, a personality which no one can match, a personality of spiritual truth, of beauty, of purity, of generosity, of love, of giving, of peace, of humility, of bliss, of power, of sweetness etc. How is this possible? We normally think of a seed as inactive or dormant, despite the enormous potential that lies within it, due to which it gives rise to a complete tree and bears fruits and other products. God is the seed of the human world tree. When I see virtues around me, whether it be in all human souls including deities, prophets, saints and the founders of the great religions or animals or nature, I know that ultimately this comes from God but God is not all pervasive, i.e. he is not present in all humans or nature or in the divine souls, but everything that is good in them comes from the virtues that are present in God or basically from the personality of God (mentioned above), because the tree is the creation of the seed, so all that is positive in the tree has come from the Source, the seed, perhaps sometime in the past. But, despite the goodness which is visible; today, peacelessness and pain do not seem to have reduced, and have probably increased, if we look behind the false covering of material success. The goodness is only in small patches. So what is the need of our times?

To spiritually uplift myself, I, being a part of the creation, a part of the tree, need to catch the positive energy within God, the creator, the seed. This energy is subtle, in that it is non-physical, but it is also glowing like light, and in meditation I can catch that glow, absorb it and feel its spiritual embrace healing me and making me complete or full. At the present moment, recognizing this need, the Supreme Being is shining the light of His personality through pure thought and vibrations more brightly than ever into the human world tree, inviting us: 'Oh sweet child, come and reclaim for yourselves your birthright, the inheritance of truth, by absorbing the qualities inherent in me through meditation or a spiritual link with me and making them your own.' 


Message for the day

To accept advice is to ensure self-progress.

Projection: The natural state of the self is to ensure progress. Everything that is done by the self is for its progress. But the one who rejects advice rejects the progress of the self. To accept advice means to take the chance for whatever benefit that comes my way.

Solution: When someone corrects me or gives me an advice or suggestion, if I accept it in the right spirit, I'll constantly learn from it. This will enable me to experience constant progress. I am also naturally able to give regard to everyone I come into contact with and remain in constant happiness.


In Spiritual Service,
