28/02/17 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban 1/3

Essence: Sweet children, the Father has come to make the orphans belong to the Lord and Master, to liberate everyone from sorrow and take them to the land of happiness.

Question: What patience does the Father give His children every cycle?

Answer: Sweet children, remain carefree! It is My duty to establish peace in the world and to liberate everyone from sorrow. I have come to liberate you children from this kingdom of Ravan and take you to the kingdom of Rama. It is My duty to take you children back.

Song: Leave Your throne of the sky and come down to earth!

Om shanti. You children heard the song. Children remember their most beloved, supremely beloved, Supreme Father for Him to come once again because Maya has cast a shadow, that is, this has become Ravan's kingdom; everyone is unhappy. They say: We are all impure. Baba says: I come at the confluence age of every cycle. I came 5000 years ago and have come once again at the confluence age of the cycle. The Father comes and gives you patience. Children, remain carefree! This is My part alone. Children say: Baba, come! Come and teach us Raja Yoga once again! Come and make the impure world pure! At this time, all are orphans. Orphans are those who don't have parents; they continue to fight and quarrel among themselves. Everyone is very unhappy. There is peacelessness in the whole world and this is why I have come to take you children beyond sorrow, to liberate you from Ravan's kingdom and take you to the kingdom of Rama, the land of happiness. The Father says: This is My duty. The Father of the whole world, that is, of all souls, is only the One. Everyone says: O unlimited Baba! You have now left Your throne and come down from up above. He resides in the great element of brahm. Here, there are living beings. That is the place of souls which is also called Brahmand. The Father explains to you children: This is a play of happiness and sorrow. All the people call out, “O Supreme Father, Supreme Soul”, because they are unhappy. The song is based on this. What mistake have the children made? They have forgotten the Father. They don't know the God of the Gita, the One who taught you easy Raja Yoga, and made you belong to the Lord and Master from being orphans! It is also sung, “O Lord, the One who makes orphans belong to the Lord and Master!” He changes Bharat from an orphan into the Bharat that belongs to the Lord and Master. Bharat belonged to the Lord and Master and was constantly happy. There were purity, peace and prosperity. There was the household ashram. Bharat was great and pure. It is also sung, “People there were 16 celestial degrees full, completely viceless.” Here, they have become orphans. They don't know what violence is or what non-violence is. They think that killing cows etc. is violence. The Father says: Using the sword of lust on one another is violence. Because of Ravan's existence, everyone has become impure. The Father says: The number one enemy is body consciousness; then, lust, anger, these five vices that have made you into orphans, are your enemies. Baba asks you: O children of Bharat, do you remember that you belonged to the Lord and Master and that you were so happy when you were in the golden age? When someone here leaves his body, people say that he has gone to heaven. He went from hell, did he not? So, you should explain that Bharat is hell at this time; it is said to be the extreme depths of hell. There are stories in the Garuda Purana (Hindu scripture). There isn't any other river but everyone continues to choke in the ocean of poison. They continue to bite one another and make each other unhappy. The Father comes and explains: This drama of happiness and sorrow is predestined. It isn't that it is hell one moment and heaven the next, that those who have a lot of wealth are in heaven; no! Even wealthy people are unhappy. At this time, the whole world is unhappy. The Father explains: You belong to the Mother and Father to whom you sing: You are the Mother and Father and we are Your children. People don't know anything, and so they sing this song even in front of Lakshmi and Narayan, “You are the Mother and You are the Father.” They even sing this in front of Radhe and Krishna because they don't know the Father. They don't know the Father, the Creator, or His creation. This is the cycle of the world. It wouldn't be called the cycle of Maya. The five vices are called Maya. Wealth is called prosperity. May you be prosperous! May you have a long life! May you have children! Only the Father gives these blessings. All the rest are gurus of the path of devotion. Only the One is the Ocean of Knowledge to whom they sing. They relate the Gita and then say, “These are the versions of God Shri Krishna.” Oh! but how can Krishna be God? They are calling out to the One up above when they say, “Change Your form and come here.” You souls too change your form. The Father also comes in a human body. He doesn't come riding a bull. You say, “Baba, You also change Your form as we do and come in a human body.” I do not enter a bull or a fish or an alligator. First of all, the human world is created through Brahma, the Father of People. So you have two fathers. One is the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, Shiva, to whom you say, “O Baba who makes orphans belong to the Lord and Master, come!” You then sing, “When the Sun of Knowledge rises…” The Sun of Knowledge is

also that Father who is the Highest on High. This play has to be understood. The play is also based on Bharat. All the rest are by-plots. The deity religion of Bharat is elevated and number one. The deity religion and the divine acts were elevated. Now, they have become corrupt in their religion and action. The Father explains: There are four main religions. The first religion is the deity religion. Only the one Father would carry out the task of the establishment of the golden age. He is Heavenly God, the Father. The Father says: I only come once, at the confluence age of the cycle. You children know that you now belong to the Lord and Master. Only the one Father makes orphans belong to the Lord and Master. Human beings can only give temporary happiness to human beings. This is the world of sorrow. People continue to cry out in distress. Bharat was the land of happiness and it is now the land of sorrow. He has come from the land of peace. The play is now coming to an end. This costume has become old. While living at home with your family, remain pure. I, your Father have come to establish pure heaven. It was pure and is now impure. For half the cycle, there is the kingdom of Rama and for half the cycle there is the kingdom of Ravan. You are now in God's lap. This is God's family. Dada (Grandfather) is Shiv Baba. Prajapita Brahma is Baba. This is the reality. You know that the incorporeal Father has entered this one. He has come in a human body. That Father sits here and talks to you souls. He is called the spiritual Surgeon. He gives an injection to the spirits. They say that souls are immune to the effect of action, but how could souls be immune? The sanskars are in the soul and a soul takes birth according to them. You children now know the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. Everyone remembers Him, “O Purifier, Supreme Father, Supreme Soul! You are the Father, the Seed of this human world tree. You are the Living Being and the Ocean of Knowledge”. All the knowledge is in the soul. Then, according to your sanskars, you become kings through the study. The Father also has sanskars of knowledge. He has the knowledge of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. He also makes you into seers of the three aspects of time. You souls know that you come from the incorporeal world. The brahm element cannot be called God. The knowledge that the Father comes and speaks is called the Gita. The Father Himself comes and establishes a kingdom. No one else establishes a kingdom. The kingdom is now to be established and this is why you have to become pure. The Father now gives you children knowledge. He makes you pure and makes you belong to the Lord and Master. No one knows about the world drama either. This drama is the eternal and imperishable drama. All souls have received imperishable parts. The Supreme Soul also has a part. Baba has explained that Shiva is not such a big lingam. He is called the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. What is the form of a soul? A star, a light. A wonderful star sparkles in the centre of the forehead. It is a wonder how such a tiny soul has such a big part. The Father says: I, a soul, also have a part. I serve you so much on the path of devotion. At this time the part is wonderful. The parts of you children continue every cycle. Actors too are numberwise. First of all is Baba. The Father gives you all the knowledge that He has. The Father says: Children, a kingdom is being established. Now make effort and claim a high status. Claim whatever seat you want. You have to make effort for your reward and for unlimited happiness from the unlimited Father. The World Mother is called the goddess of knowledge. From where did she receive knowledge? From Brahma. Who gave it to Brahma? Shiva, the Supreme Soul. The Brahma Kumars and Kumaris are receiving this knowledge through Brahma. You Brahmins have become instruments for this sacrificial fire. This is called the sacrificial fire of the knowledge of Rudra in which the whole of the old world is to be destroyed. All the festivals are of this confluence age. Instead of Shiva, they have spoken of the night of Krishna and portrayed the birth of Krishna to be at night. They don't understand the meaning of Shiv Ratri, the night of Shiva. The iron age is the night and the golden age is the day. When Shiva comes and changes night into day that is called Shiv Jayanti. It is the unlimited night and day. This Shiv Shakti Army is one that will make Bharat into heaven. Look how you are studying in such an incognito way. You claim the kingdom with the power of yoga. Ancient Raja Yoga through which you receive the kingdom is very well known. Everyone becomes pure. Souls imbibe this knowledge. No one has knowledge of the soul. There (the golden age), they have knowledge of the soul, but not of God or creation. Only you Brahmins have this knowledge. You, who do spiritual service, are the most elevated. The one Traveller comes to make all of you brides beautiful. There is just the one Traveller and all the rest are brides. The procession of those who become part of the subjects and who reside in the land of liberation is very long. The Bridegroom comes to decorate everyone and take them back home. He will take everyone back like a swarm of mosquitoes. Achcha.

28/02/17 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban 3/3

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. Become a lighthouse. Let the land of peace be in one eye and the land of happiness in the other eye. Don't see this land of sorrow while seeing it. 2. Become full of knowledge, the same as the Father, and make full effort to claim unlimited happiness. Give others the knowledge that you have received.

Blessing: May you be a world benefactor who receives the instant fruit of the service you do with a big heart.

The children who serve with a big heart also receive big instant fruit of that service. Whenever you carry out a task, do it with a big heart and also have a big heart in making others cooperative. Do not have a small heart for yourself or for your co-operative companions. By you having a big heart, even mud becomes gold, weak companions become powerful and success becomes possible from impossible. For this, sacrifice the consciousness of “I, I”, and you will become a world benefactor with a big heart.

Slogan: To transform a reason into a solution is to be a well-wisher, one who has positive thoughts for others.

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 28, 2017: Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 28, 2017: Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

Don’t give sorrow, don’t take sorrow! The qualities that stop me giving sorrow are mercy, love and honesty. If someone has these, they will never even think of giving sorrow. I need to be merciful not to give sorrow and I need to be strong in order not to take sorrow. In fact, the moment you stop taking sorrow, you days of happiness have begun. These are your eyes, ears and lips – it is up to you whether to take sorrow or not.

The Search For Happiness And A Beautiful Relationship

Throughout history, human beings have desired and searched for two things, happiness and a perfect loveful and beautiful relationship.   It is interesting to realize that you cannot search for what, you have not already had or known. In other words, we search for these two things because inside us we have a deep subconscious memory of the original, perfect and eternal relationship with our Friend, Guide and Parent, the One remembered as God, Allah, Ishwar, etc.   It is only when we restore our relationship with this Being is that we can experience true happiness or bliss.   Bliss is the highest form of spiritual happiness we can experience.  It is experienced only when we are free of all attachment, when we no longer identify wrongly with anything physical and when our inner mental state is not dependent on anything or anyone.

At its highest level and in its purest state, our relationship with God is non-dependent and unconditional, and therefore blissful.   Deep within the soul, there is a memory of the bliss of this perfect union and it is this memory that inspires us to search for the perfect relationship, for the perfect happiness.   However, instead of seeking it at the spiritual level, we seek at the level of personality and body.   We search in those around us for the perfect partner - our soul mate. It is not incorrect to have worldly relationships, but there needs to be a deep realization inside each one of us that our true soul mate, is the One with whom we can have an ever-lasting, eternal relationship, the One with whom we have the deepest eternal bond (over a period of many births), the One from whom we will experience everlasting, eternal, unconditional attainments.

What happens when your anger button gets pushed?

Do you get all heated up? Do you let your emotions erupt on someone else?

As anger increases, perspective & reasoning decreases; rather than adding fuel to the fire, often the best thing we can do is give ourselves a moment to recuperate, even if it's just briefly. Take a deep breath, & then several more deep breaths. Come back to calm, & consider how you want to respond.

When you have a moment, reflect on how you want to handle things, the next time your anger buttons get pushed.

Message for the day

Every change is a means to take one forward for those who are positive. 

Thought to Ponder: For the one who is positive, change brings progress. Otherwise, most changes are seen as threats to our well-being. So, for everything that happens in my life, I need to see what positive outcome is inherent in it. This will help me be open to change in the right way.

Point to Practice: Today I will make a list of major changes in my life in the past 15 years or so. I will see what I have learnt from it. This will help me appreciate the fact that there is some beautiful outcome for everything that has happened.

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 27, 2017: The Colour of Flowers 

The Colour of Flowers

Leave worries aside and you will be surprised by the beauty of the sky and the colour of flowers, of the freshness of the breeze and the generosity of the sun. You will feel you are part of creation, and life will start to make sense. The greatest wealth is to appreciate what we have and what we are.

Overcoming The Fear Of Communication

When the fear of communicating effectively exists inside you e.g. when appearing for a work interview, it may be due to personal insecurity. You have to work on it in order to have more security, confidence and authoritativeness. Being secure and full of authority in the moment of communicating and expressing yourself requires practice and effort. Most importantly, to feel secure in such situations, when the person whom you are faced with is in a position of power, you have to value yourself. Self-value brings self-security and a feeling of fearlessness. When someone is normally asked to talk about what his/her personality is like or what is his/her basic character traits are, they normally speak about their weaknesses. Very rarely does one speak of his/her strengths or positive personality traits. Realizing your strengths requires introspection. Meditation, based on the complete spiritual knowledge about the self, is one of the simplest methods to do this. Once you realize your own strengths, you are able to value yourself immensely. If you value yourself, it does not matter so much to you whether another values you or not. However, if you aren't able to value yourself, then doubts exist: Let's see if this person values or respects me; perhaps this job is not for me; perhaps my communication skills are not very good. Then you need recognition and appreciation. Since you cannot give it to yourself (because you have not realized your strengths), you depend on others giving it to you.

You need to know that you are unique and that you are worth a great deal. If the other person does not value you it is their loss; they are losing something precious. If you are established in that self-esteem of Who am I, a very elevated consciousness and that awareness – here comes a treasure whom you will be interviewing, your words and your body language will be sharp, secure and stable. Within you, you value yourself; and if you value yourself, it will be easier for people to value you. On the other hand, if you do not like and respect yourself, you will cause the same energy, which you radiate, to come back to you from others.

To accept responsibility is to accept challenge. 

In many situations that life brings our way we have two choices - we meet it bravely and take up responsibility for our own lives and the choices we make or we just try to escape. Many times we find ourselves taking the second way, which brings no internal satisfaction. Internal satisfaction lies more in accepting challenges than in trying to escape them. I need to remain on the field in the game of life instead of just being a spectator. The more I play the more expertise I gain. This thought enables me to accept the different challenges that life brings.

Message for the day

Cooperation is to give people what they need.

Thought to Ponder: We tend to give people what we feel they need. In the process, we tend to advice or force our ideas on them. But, what really works is trying to understand what people need. If someone, is angry, they lack peace at that time. So, I need to give peace. And of course, I need to be peaceful and patient, in order to give the peace that they need.

Point to Practice: Today I will really help one person, by giving what he needs. I will try and understand what people around me really need and start giving those qualities. This will help me create a habit of providing the right thing at the right time.

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 26, 2017: Achieve the Impossible

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 26, 2017: Achieve the Impossible

On 29 May 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers confirmed to have reached the summit of Mount Everest.

Achieve the Impossible

When you refuse to set boundaries to what is achievable, you can inspire others to believe that they, too, can make the impossible happen.

At Peace with Time – The Key To Relaxed Living (Part 3)

To live at peace with time is to live it with peace, trust and determination. It is different to living it out of conflict and forcing things. In order to live true freedom of being, we have to make friends with time and stop living stressed in time. We have to trust. Trust that you will arrive on time, that you will do it on time and, if not, that a particular problem will be solved. Don't let time be a stress factor. When we live stressed because of time, we lose the best of life. We stop living what is essential and important, and we get lost in the details: I have to go here, I have to finish this, I have to call up someone and endless amounts of - I have to…s that consume our mental energy and make us get lost in the details of the trivial (ordinary). As well, in hurrying, we lose quality. You can do everything, but without losing what is essential; do it with love, with care, with interest, with enthusiasm, with motivation and with focus. That way every small action that you take will have a greater impact, will be more fulfilling and will bear a more positive fruit.

You choose whether, each morning, you want to get up and begin with watching television, reading the newspaper over a cup of tea, or you want to get up and listen to peaceful music, read a couple of pages of spiritual knowledge that inspire you and you begin the day with enthusiasm and by visualizing it positively: today will be a marvelous day, I shall enjoy it ... yes!! Such spiritual practice will give you a feel of time being elastic. In such a consciousness, a minute will seem eternal i.e. time can seem to come to a standstill (if I am surrounded by a positive set of circumstances which are spiritually uplifting) or can seem an instant, i.e. I get a feeling of time passing very fast (if in a negative set of circumstances). Thus, I learn to be a creator of time; living in time without being a slave to it. True freedom lies in being content now. You can be content in the present moment by resolving the inner dialogue that generates stress and conflict in you. When you are content, enjoying yourself and having a good time, you don't realize how time passes. This means that, if we lived in a state of constant happiness, we wouldn't realize how time passes. Time would be at our service. We would be the rulers and controllers of time and not the other way round.

True victory is to have internal stability. 

Whenever the situation is good and I am experiencing success, my internal state of mind is good too. But when something challenging happens, I begin to experience fear or anxiety. More than the situation going wrong, it is in fact my reaction that goes wrong. In order to experience success or to feel victorious, I need to change the way I respond to situations. Even in the most negative situations I need to remind myself that the situation itself is not in my hands but how I choose to respond is surely in my hands. So I naturally make the best choice. 

Message for the day

To have self-respect is to move ahead with confidence. 

Thought to Ponder:   Normally, we are very caught up with the opinion of others. This leads to fear of making mistakes. Also, it makes us weak, when we don't get appreciation. But, I need to ask myself if I am leading my life in a way that I am proud of myself. Then, I am able to appreciate myself first and others are also able to appreciate me.

Point to Practice: Today I will appreciate the qualities in me, pat myself on my back for what I am and move on. Only when I appreciate myself, others will also be able to appreciate me. So today I will appreciate myself, even by learning from mistakes. I will do things, not just to please others, but to please myself first.

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 25, 2017: The Influence of Gossip

Daily Positive Thoughts: February 25, 2017: The Influence of Gossip

The Influence of Gossip

I cannot afford to overlook the influence that other people have on me. There are cases where people quarrel, fight and even commit murder because they are influenced by gossip, influenced by the words of others. To what extent do I check that I am not being influenced by gossip? Negativity in the mind is like poison. Negative thoughts are the seeds of negative actions. It might seem like a simple everyday occurrence - my friends tell me in the strictest confidence that such and such a person is like this and does so-and-so. I listen and accept without question because of the friendship. My attitude and actions now become influenced by my friend’s words, and I find myself acting and reacting in accordance with the information fed to me. Gossip and guessing bring sorrow, heaviness and distrust. Poison can come in many disguises, but poison is poison whether from an enemy or a friend.

At Peace with Time – The Key To Relaxed Living (Part 2)

Not only is your strength reduced by the way that you live the past and project onto the future, but also how you live in this moment. When, for example, you oppose the present and have resistances, these consume your energy and cause you stress. If you accept the present you can flow flexibly without wasting your energy. Accepting does not mean submitting yourself or feeling a victim of what is happening now. From acceptance, you confront and transform. If we learn to live the dimensions of time in a healthy way we will keep up our vitality, we will heal the past and we will feel at peace with it. Accepting the present and trusting in the future helps us to be well.

Accepting the present means stopping comparing yourself with others; you want what the other has, their money, their talents, their beauty, their personality, their achievements, their virtues, etc. So, instead of being grateful for what you have and accepting yourself as you are, you try to have and be like the other. In this way, you are never satisfied. The dissatisfaction causes you a constant unhappiness that reduces your vitality. When you feel happy and satisfied your energy flows more easily. The most important thing that you should do in this moment is to feel content. Next, what is the most important thing? To be content. Therefore, the priority, and what is essential, is that whatever happens in the moment, the most important thing is to be content. So, tell your mind - Oh, mind, be quiet and don't think so much. Oh, mind, kindly trust that everything is and will be fine. Give your mind the basic instructions and the key thoughts with which to be content. Don't let your own mind create the thoughts that trap you. It is we ourselves who create our emotional cages.

(To be continued tomorrow …)

To be free from negativity is to be truly free. 

All of us like freedom and we expect that others should give us the chance or opportunity to express ourselves as we like to. But sometimes this type of freedom is misused and I am not able to do the right thing. Such actions based on false freedom are harmful to others and myself too. True freedom is to be totally free from negativity. When I can free myself from the negative influences I will be able to take up responsibility for my actions and everything I do will be right. This will automatically give me the freedom to do what I want to do without misusing it.

Message for the day

Powerful service is when there is service without pity. 

Thought to Ponder: When we serve through our words and actions, we also need to serve through our mind. Only then will it be powerful service. If I get affected by the negativity of someone or something that is happening, I cannot be powerful. There will be pity, but I will not be able to empower the other person. 

Point to Practice: Today I will empower someone with my words and also with my good wishes. I will help someone with a feeling of positivity. For this, today I will maintain a positive state of mind throughout the day, so that I can give rather than be influenced.
