Daily Positive Thoughts: August 31, 2014: Love




Love

If I learn to create love in my heart and silently share it with everyone I meet, love will grace every corner of my life.



Remove Weakness

We do want to help others and be a support for them, but sometimes we
find ourselves unable to do this as much as we would like to. If
others are not able to take help from us constantly, it is because of
the weakness that is working within us which makes us look for support
from others. As we are caught up with our own expectations we remain
unavailable for others. We need to work at checking and removing our
own weaknesses. When we recognize and work at removing our weaknesses, we'll become a source of strength and support for others. We will not look for support from others but will be able to allow people to rely
on us.


Meditation On Self-Forgiveness


Sit comfortably and relax. Recall the feelings associated with some mistake or mistakes you have made in the past. Connect with any feelings of hatred and revenge; connect with any feelings of guilt and how you felt you had let others and yourself down; the shame and the humiliation you may have felt...

Now ask yourself:
'What good is it doing me or others by holding onto these feelings...?
What benefits does it bring me? How does it help me, or the other people affected...?' (pause for 30 seconds).

Now, say the following to yourself inside your mind:
'I decide that I have held onto these feelings long enough and it is time to let them go... This is a matter of reason as they no longer serve me, and a matter of my will at a deep level to release them... I feel all these negative feelings and let them go... I release them... let them go...'

Now, unconditionally, forgive yourself... you have made a mistake... you have learned from that mistake... there is nothing to be gained from having feelings of guilt or shame... let them go... forgive yourself... forgive everyone else who may have contributed... it is time to let it go...

Now focus on your true self - a divine being of spiritual energy situated at the center of the forehead... focus on your inner feelings of peace... Think of and feel your inner qualities of honesty, tolerance, kindness and generosity. Focus on them, as this is who you truly are... a peaceful, compassionate, forgiving being of spiritual light... radiating these qualities to the world...


Soul Sustenance

The Significance Of Spiritual Energy (cont.)

Humans live and express themselves by means of four energy forms. We had explained two (physical and mental) yesterday. The other two are:

Emotional:
This is related with how you feel, moody or happy, anxious or nervous. If your feelings are negative, it will end up affecting your body. Feelings of irritability, anxiety or tension can cause stomach ulcers. Along the same lines, with positive feelings you will be able to overcome any illness much more easily.

Spiritual:
This is related to our original qualities and values. It is the energy of the soul. Our perspective of the world will depend on the state of our conscience. Spiritual energy guides and provides quality to our thoughts, and that is why it is the highest in the hierarchy.

These energies (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) form a hierarchy, in which physical energy is the lowest and spiritual energy the highest. If we are able to correctly channel the spiritual energy it will influence all the others in a positive way, beginning with our conscience, our feelings, and ending with our body.


Message for the day


The ones with pure thoughts experience safety in all situations.

Projection: When there are negative situations, we usually get negative thoughts very easily. Such negative thoughts take us further into negativity. We get caught in this circle of negativity and we then can't make our thoughts positive.

Solution: We need to take care that we don't blame anyone when we are going through any negative situation. We need to maintain whatever positivity we can in the situation, and we will find our mind changing towards positive too. It is this positivity that acts as a means of safety for us.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris


Essence of Murli August 30, 2014


Essence of Murli   August 30, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, you are living (chaitanya) lighthouses. You have to give everyone the Father's introduction (parichay) and show them the way to their home.

Question: As you make progress, what direction are many souls going to receive and in what way?

Answer: As you make progress, many people will receive the direction: Go to the Brahma Kumars and Kumaris and they will give you knowledge for you to become princes of Paradise(vaikunth). They will receive this signal (ishaaraa) through having a vision of Brahma. Generally, they have a vision (saakshaatkaar) of Brahma or Shri Krishna. Just as the part of visions took place in the beginning, so it will also take place at the end.

Essence for dharna:

1.      Together with staying in remembrance of the Father, remember the cycle of 84 births in order to stay in happiness. Spin the discus of self-realization and make God your true Friend.

2.      In order to become doubly non-violent, change your criminal eye and make it civil. Practice: We souls are brothers.(bhai-bhai)

Blessing: May you be a master and a child and control your mind by keeping the reins (lagaam) of shrimat tight.

People of the world say that the mind is a horse which runs very fast, but your mind cannot run around here and there because the reins of shrimat are very strong. When your mind and intellect become engaged in looking at side scenes, then, because the reins are loose, the mind becomes mischievous (chanchal). Therefore, when any situation arises or the mind becomes mischievous, tighten the reins of shrimat and you will reach your destination. I am a child and a master: by having this awareness, you will become one who has all rights and be able to control your mind.

Today, from the blessing we also can infer:

I, the soul, am a child of the Father, and a master of the physical organs. Within the soul, the mind becomes a child and runs wild like an untamed horse. Godly directions followed by the intellect, curb and confine the mind. With discipline, it becomes a race horse that gallops fast towards it’s goal. Baba says, do not get distracted by what is going on around you and slow down to a trot. If you do, then tighten the reins of shrimat to guide the horse, as with loose reins, you slip and fall.

Slogan: Constantly have the faith that whatever is happening is good and that whatever is to happen will be even better and you will remain unshakeable and immovable.(achal & adol)

Points to churn from the slogan:

With a stage of a point in our thoughts, and by having the awareness of “nothing new” and everything that happens is beneficial, with our words and actions, we let the bygones be bygone...we let the  past be past, whatever has happened was good, whatever is happening is better and whatever will happen will be the best (Que sera,sera...what will be, will be)” ...with these thoughts we watch the games of the drama from our seat of self-respect as a detached observer and continue to move forward by remaining unshakeable and immovable




Om shanti.

The spiritual Father asks you children. He cannot ask everyone. He asks daughter Nalini: What are you doing here? In remembrance of whom are you sitting here? The Father? Are you sitting in remembrance of just the Father or are you also remembering something else? Your sins will be absolved by having remembrance of the Father. What else are you remembering? This is the work of the intellect. We souls have to go to our home and so we have to remember the home. Achcha, what else do you have to do?

Will you go home and just sit there? They have shown Vishnu with a discus of self-realization. The Father has now explained to you the meaning of that. The self, that is, the soul, had a vision of his cycle of 84 births. So, that discus also has to be turned. You know that we go around the cycle of 84 births and return home. Then, from there, we will go into the golden age to play our parts. We will then go around the cycle of 84 births.

Vishnu does not have a discus etc. He is a deity of the golden age. Call it the land of Vishnu or the land of Lakshmi and Narayan or call it heaven; there used to be the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan in heaven. If you call it the kingdom of Radhe and Krishna, you are making a mistake. There is no kingdom of Radhe and Krishna because they are a prince and princess from separate kingdoms. They become the masters of the kingdom after their marriage. So, they have shown Vishnu with a discus, but that is in fact your cycle.

Therefore, when you sit here, you mustn't just sit in silence. You also have to remember your inheritance and this is why there is this cycle. The Father says: You are lighthouses. You are walking and talking lighthouses. You have the land of peace (shantidhaam) in one eye and the land of happiness (sukhdhaam) in the other eye. You have to remember both. Your sins are cut away by having remembrance. By remembering your home, you will go home.

Then, you also have to remember the cycle. Only you have the knowledge of this whole cycle. You have been around the cycle of 84 births and this is now the final birth in the land of death (mrityulok) . The new world is called the land of immortality (amarlok). “Immortal” means that you are constantly alive, that you never die. Here, people die suddenly while just sitting somewhere because there are illnesses. There, there is no fear of dying because that is the land of immortality. Even when you become old, you have the knowledge that you will go and enter the palace of a womb. Now you go into the jail of a womb. There, a womb is like a palace. There, no sins are committed that anyone would have to have punishment. Here, people commit sins due to which they experience punishment. Then, when they come out of the womb, they begin to commit sin again. This is the world of sinful souls.

Here, there is nothing but sorrow. The name “sorrow” doesn’t exist there. So, keep the land of peace in one eye and the land of happiness in the other eye. Although you have been doing tapasya and chanting mantras (jap-tap) for birth after birth, you did not have this knowledge. That is devotion. You are not shown the method there for becoming satopradhan. No one knows this. They have just heard that God Krishna says: Renounce everything including your body...These are words from the Gita which they read and relate to everyone. You are not asked to become like that. They simply read it, saying that this is what God said, before He departed, when He came to purify the impure.

It is just that they have inserted Krishna’s name in the Gita instead of that of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. Krishna is the charioteer (rathi). Does he need a chariot (rath)? He himself is a bodily being. Who gave him the name, “Krishna”? On the sixth day after a baby is born, they have a naming ceremony. The Father is just called Shiva. You souls come into birth and rebirth and so the names of the bodies change. Shiv Baba does not come into birth and death. He is always Shiva.(sada Shiv) When people apply a zero (bindi) , they say,"Shiva".

A soul is an extremely subtle point. When someone has a vision of a soul, he is unable to understand it. Seeing a vision of a goddess, they would become happy. Achcha, what then? There was no attainment, no meaning. They just performed intense devotion, had a vision and thereby became happy with that. However, there is no question of them receiving liberation or liberation-in-life. All of that is the path of devotion. This, here, is the path of knowledge. Here, people generally have a vision of Brahma and then of Shri Krishna. They would be told (in their vision): Go to this Brahma and you will go to the land of Krishna or to Paradise. They can also have visions of Lakshmi and Narayan. It isn't that just because they received a vision, they are in salvation. They just receive a signal: Go there. As you progress further, many will have visions and they will receive directions.

The picture of your Trimurti and also the name of the Brahma Kumaris are printed in the newspapers. So they would have a vision of Brahma: By going to that one you will receive knowledge of how to become a prince of Paradise, just as Arjuna had a vision of Vishnu and of destruction. The Father tells you how you have to become like a lotus, but you don't remain constant and this is why the ornaments have been given to Vishnu. Why would deities need the conch shell etc? Speaking knowledge through your lips is called blowing the conch shell. The Father also explains the significance of the lotus to you. You Brahmins have to become like a lotus at this time. The mace is for conquering Maya, the five vices. The Father shows you the method: Constantly remember Me alone and your sins will be absolved. Follow shrimat and remember the Purifier Father. No one, apart from the Father, is the Purifier.

The Father says: You all call out to Me to come and liberate all of you from your bodies and take you to the pure world. So, the Father comes and makes all souls pure from impure because impure souls cannot go home or to heaven. The Father says: If you want to become pure, remember Me. Only by having remembrance will your sins be cut away. I guarantee this.

 People call out: O Purifier,come! Purify us and take us to the new world. So, how will they go? The Father tells you something so straightforward. This is the Father's easy knowledge and easy matters. He says: While doing your work, remember Me! You may do your job etc. and prepare food, but do that while in remembrance and the food will be purified. This is why it is remembered that even the deities had a desire for Brahma bhojan. Even these daughters go with bhog to the subtle region and a meeting (mehfil)  takes place there. A gathering (mela) of Brahmins and deities takes place there. They come to accept the food. Before brahmin priests take their meals, they chant a mantra. Brahma bhojan is praised a lot.

 Sannyasis only remember the brahm element; their religion is separate. Those are limited sannyasis. They say that they have renounced their home, family, wealth etc., that they have renounced everything. They have now pushed their way in (the cities). Yours is unlimited renunciation. You even forget this old world. You then have to go to the new world. While living at home with your families, it is in your intellects that you have to go the land of happiness via the land of peace.

You also have to remember the land of peace. You remember the Father and the lands of peace and happiness. This is the final birth of our many births. Our 84 births are now complete. From the sun dynasty, we became the moon dynasty then we became merchants and then shudras. Those people then say that the soul is the Supreme Soul (atma so Parmaatma) , and that the soul is not affected by anything because the soul is the Supreme Soul (atma hi Parmaatma). The Father says: That meaning of theirs is wrong. The Father sits here and explains the meaning of "hum so" to you. I, the soul, am a child of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. First of all, I was a deity, a resident of heaven, and then I became a moon-dynasty warrior. After 2500 years were completed, we became merchants and then shudras, vicious ones. We have now become Brahmins, the topknot. We are sitting here and it is as though we are doing a somersault of 84 births. We have knowledge of this somersault (baajoli).

Previously, when people went on pilgrimages, they would make marks along the way as they somersaulted. Your true pilgrimage is to the land of peace and the land of happiness. You are spiritual pilgrims who give this advice to everyone: Remember the Father and you will go to the land of peace.

Sages and holy men all make effort to go to the land of peace but no one can go there. Everyone, the whole lot, will go there together. The Father has explained that there are very few in the golden age and then growth takes place. You are spinners of the discus of self-realization; the deities are not that. However, at this time, you have a war with Maya. In that war, too, they go and seek refuge with the side they consider to be powerful. Whom are you now taking refuge with at this time? Both husband and wife say: I seek refuge with You. Mine is one Shiv Baba and none other. The Father of all souls is One. You are the children of that One.

Sages and holy men are not that One. In that case, there would be many Gods! Whoever sulks with his home and family becomes God! Many wealthy millionaires go and become their followers. Then they celebrate with impure food. They are tamopradhan human beings. Hindus don't even know about their own religion.

The Father explains: In fact, you belong to the original, eternal, deity religion but you have now become impure and so you cannot call yourselves deities. That religion has now disappeared. People are so vicious and they have a criminal eye. A minister who came to Baba said: My vision becomes criminal. The Father now explains: Children, become those with a civil eye. For as long as you have a criminal eye, you are impure. Consider yourselves to be brothers and that criminal vision will end. We souls are brothers and we are claiming our inheritance from the one Father. The throne of the soul is this forehead. This is called the immortal throne. The immortal soul is sitting on this throne. This body is a puppet of clay. The whole part is recorded in the soul.

The Father says: I come after 5000 years to give you children the inheritance. You know that you have come here to claim your inheritance of health, wealth and happiness. In the golden age, you receive a lot of wealth. You become deities for 21 generations. None of them die until they reach old age. Here, people die suddenly while just sitting somewhere. Sometimes, they even die in the womb. There, there is no mention of sorrow. That is called the land of happiness, the kingdom of Rama, whereas this is the land of sorrow, the kingdom of Ravan. Ravan does not exist in the golden age.

So, you will also keep this cycle of 84 births in your intellects and remain very happy. You know that you are going to become the masters of the new world, that is, the masters of the golden age. It says in the Gita: God speaks: O child, renounce your body and all bodily relations. (deh sahit deh ke sab sambandhon ko chhodo) Consider yourself to be a soul and constantly remember Me alone. (apne ko atma samajh maamekam yaad karo) That one God is your true Friend (Khuda dost). All the plays of Allah-avaldin (the first religion) and of haatam-tai (bead in your mouth) are of this time.

People now beat their heads so much in order for fewer children to be born. The unlimited Father reduces this population so much. In the golden age, there is a population (aabaadi) of just 900,000 in the whole world. There aren't this many millions of people there. All will go to the land of liberation, the land of peace. This is a miracle (karaamat). He lays the foundation of the one deity religion and destroys all the other religions.

You have to make this cycle of 84 sit in your intellects very well. This is the discus of self-realisation. It is not a discus for cutting anyone’s throat. In the scriptures, they have said violent things about Krishna. They say that he killed everyone with a discus of self-realization. So, that too is defamation. They have made him so violent! You become doubly non-violent. To use the sword of lust is also violence.

Deities are said to be pure. When you can become the masters of the world with the power of yoga, why can children not be born through the power of yoga? They would have a vision that they are going to have a child. Baba understands that he will shed this old body and then have a golden spoon in the mouth. You also understand that when you take birth in the land of immortality, you will have a golden spoon in your mouth. Poor subjects are also needed. There is no question of any type of sorrow there. The subjects do not have as much wealth or prosperity, but they do have happiness and a long lifespan. Kings, queens, wealthy subjects are all needed. Achcha.

To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 30, 2014: Acceptance

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 30, 2014: Acceptance





Acceptance


See through God's eyes and feel through God's heart and you will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.


Lightness

When we are in a position where we are held responsible for something
or people expect us to be answerable for something, we tend to feel
heavy because of these responsibilities. With this feeling of burden,
we are not able to fulfill our responsibilities to the best of our
ability. Whatever responsibilities are given to us are according to our
capabilities. Also the more we are able to maintain our internal state
of lightness, it is easier for us to recognize and use our inner
resources well. When we remind ourselves of this we'll be able to be
light and give our best to fulfill all our responsibilities.


Choosing Peace Over Anger


Making the choice of peace is a simple choice, which lies in the hands of each one of us, at every moment right through the day, every day. A lot of people would choose a world, the world out there, made of peace but spend most of their time remaining peaceless in their own inner world, and then in their next door world, i.e. in their personal interactions. A lot of us would prefer a life of peace and we try to shape up such a life, only to be influenced by the old belief about how it's absolutely fine to get angry once in a while, without which it's difficult to get things done. We also get influenced by those people around us who continue to get angry for the shallowest of reasons. These people could be either at home, at the workplace, in the friend circle, the world at large or people who do not matter too much to us but whom we encounter every day - at the vegetable market, on the highway, or even in the movies for that matter! Unaware of the root causes of their anger, all these people around us will find a thousand ways to justify it, and will keep continuing with the habit in their lives. Their emotional un-clarity is so deep and addiction to the emotion of anger is so powerful that they will probably laugh at the idea that anger is a negative emotion and is form of weakness or suffering. They will, on the other hand, say that peace is timidity and a form of weakness or suffering. So, if you do choose peace over anger in your life then you are also choosing to be in a state of power and becoming free from suffering as a result. However, after having made that choice, to experience it in every moment of your life, it is necessary to rediscover where your peace is located inside you, it's true nature or essence, how to access it through meditation and finally how to use it or apply it in your daily life.



Soul Sustenance

The Significance Of Spiritual Energy

Humans live and express themselves by means of four energy forms:

Physical : You breathe, eat and drink, and through this process you exchange atoms and molecules with the external environment and the inner environment of your body. A part of this energy will be used for growth and another part for physical movement.

Mental :The energy and power of thought. This energy has a big influence over the origin of many illnesses, so much so that it has been estimated that as many as 85% of them are psychosomatic (directly or indirectly influenced by our state of the mind) in nature. Your thoughts are also the seeds of your feelings, your mood and your attitudes.

(To be continued tommorow …..)
Message for the day


The one who serves with the balance of the head and the heart is the one who is successful.

Projection: We usually give directions to people when they go wrong. We also use a lot of logic when we give such directions, but it doesn't always have the desired effect. We then begin to consider the other person to be wrong.

Solution: What we need to do is to have a balance of both the head and the heart while giving our suggestions to others. That means we need to have a lot of love while giving our suggestions to them. Then whatever we say will have its effect on them.

Essence of Murli August 29, 2014


Essence of Murli   August 29, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, remain in a conscious state (chaitanya avasthaa) and remember the Father. To go into the stage of nothingness (sunn avasthaa) or to sleep is not yoga.

Question: Why are you not allowed to sit here with your eyes closed?

Answer: If you sit with your eyes closed, a thief can steal all the goods in your shop. Maya, the thief, will not allow your intellect to imbibe anything. If you sit in yoga with your eyes closed, you will fall asleep and you will not know anything. Therefore, sit with your eyes open. While doing your work, remember the Father with your intellect. There is no question of hatha yoga in this.

Essence for dharna: 

1.   While looking after your household, keep your intellect’s yoga with the Father. Do not make mistakes. You have to bring benefit to yourself and others by imbibing purity.

2.   There is an income in the pilgrimage of remembrance and in this study. Trance is just wandering around: there is no benefit in that. To whatever extent possible, remain alert. Remember the Father and have your sins absolved.

Blessing: May you have good wishes and pure feelings and make the Father’s sanskars your own original sanskars.

Even now, some children have various sanskars: of coming into feeling; of stepping away; of thinking about others and of listening to other things. You refer to having these sanskars by saying, “What can I do? This is my sanskar.” This word, “mine”, makes you slack in your efforts. It is Ravan’s property, not “mine”. However, the Father’s sanskars are the original sanskars of Brahmins. Those sanskars are of a world benefactor, of one who has pure and positive thoughts and of one who has good wishes and pure feelings for everyone.

Today, from the blessing we also can infer:

If you have an attitude of detachment and love for all, circumstances cannot affect you. No matter what anyone says, harsh words will not touch your heart. No matter how unkind their behavior is, it will not put a dent in your demeanor. Look, but do not see; hear but do not listen. You being the elevated beings, you influence the atmosphere; the atmosphere does not influence you. Our purpose as Brahmins is to help and benefit others. Understand other’s weaknesses, and give them good wishes and pure feelings (shubh bhavna and shubh kamnaa); the one remedy for all ailments.

 

Slogan: Those who have power (samarthi) have a right to the treasure (adhikaari) of all powers (sarv shakti).

Points to churn from the slogan:

By keeping ourselves busy in churning the ocean of knowledge and in Godly service, by not wasting our time in useless things and worthless matters, or in listening to or relating wrong things of gossip, we, the souls, become powerful...

 

We keep our minds and intellects stable in a powerful stage...by keeping the Father and service constantly in our awareness, we stay close with the Father, sit personally in front of the Father, and become complete, perfect, powerful, and equal to the Father...

 

By fully using the art of keeping our minds busy, we become free from all waste...by giving good wishes, we put the wrong to right, convert stone to water, and transform wasteful to powerful...

 

By sitting on the seat of the trikaldarshi stage, by using the right  method according to the time, by adopting the method of saving and accumulating, we finish the account of waste... we have growth by using the right methods, attain success, become powerful and have a right to the treasure of all powers...

 


Om shanti.

The spiritual Father tells you spiritual children: This one is also a child. All bodily beings are His children. So, the spiritual Father says to souls: The main thing is the soul. Understand this very well. When you are sitting here in front, you should not detach yourself from your body and disappear. To detach yourself from the body and disappear is not the stage of the pilgrimage of remembrance. You have to sit here alert (sujaag). As you walk and move around or sit, consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father.

The Father does not tell you to become unconscious as you sit here. There are many who disappear while sitting here. You have to sit here and remain alert. You also have to become pure. You will not be able to imbibe knowledge without having purity. You will neither be able to bring benefit to anyone nor will you be able to tell this to others. Those who do not remain pure themselves but tell others to do so are like pundits. You must not consider yourself to be clever (miya mithhoo). Otherwise, your conscience will bite you. Don’t think that you can close your eyes and go into a state of nothingness. That is not the stage of remembrance. Here, you have to remain in a conscious state and remember the Father. To fall asleep is not remembrance.

Many points are explained to you children. It is shown in the scriptures that they go into the seventh world (stage of consciousness) and they are not aware of this world at all. You know about the world; this is a dirty world. No one knows the Father. If they were to know the Father, they would also know the cycle of the world. The Father tells you how this cycle turns and how human beings take rebirth. In the golden age, even though you become old, your face does not become wrinkled. Sannyasis do hatha yoga. They close their eyes and, while sitting in caves, they become old and wrinkled.

The Father tells you: While living at home with your family, you have to remain alert. To go into the stage of nothingness is not really a stage.You have to carry on with your business etc. and also look after your household. You must not go into the stage of nothingness. While doing your work, remember the Father with your intellect. When you do your work, you surely do it with your eyes open. Continue to attend to your business etc., but let your intellect’s yoga be with the Father. You must not become careless about this. If you closed your eyes while sitting in your shop, someone would steal your stock and you would not even know. That stage is not accurate. To become detached from one’s body is the practice of hatha yogis. It is those with occult power (ridhhi-sidhhi )who do that.

The Father sits here and explains to you very clearly; you must not close your eyes for this. The Father says: You must now forget all your friends and relatives that you have been remembering, but you must remember the one Father. Without the pilgrimage of remembrance, your sins cannot be cut away. When they take bhog to the subtle region, they get lost. What happens? For as long as they are there, their sins cannot be absolved. They can neither remember Shiv Baba nor can they hear Baba’s murli, and so there is a loss.

However, this is fixed in the drama and this is why they go there. They then come down and listen to the murli. This is why Baba says: Go and return quickly! Don’t stay there! Baba put a stop to all of those entertaining games. (khelpaal)To go around in this way is like wandering aimlessly. There is a great deal of wandering and wailing on the path of devotion, because it is the path of darkness. Meera used to go into trance, to Paradise. That was neither yoga nor study. Did she attain salvation through that? Did she become worthy of going to heaven? Were her sins of many births cut away? Absolutely not! The sins of many births can only be cut away by having remembrance of the Father. There is no benefit in having visions etc. That is simply devotion. It is neither remembrance nor knowledge. There is no one on the path of devotion who teaches these things and so they are not able to attain salvation, no matter how many visions they may have. In the beginning, children used to go into trance by themselves. Mama and Baba did not go into trance. In the beginning, Baba simply had a vision of establishment and destruction.

Nothing happened after that. I do not send anyone up there. Yes, I (Brahma) sit them down and say: “Baba, pull the thread of this one,” and if it is in the drama, her thread will be pulled. Otherwise, it won’t be.

Many receive visions. Many used to have visions in the beginning, and many will have visions at the end. It will be death for the prey and victory for the hunter. (mirua maut, malooka shikaar)There are countless human beings and they will all leave their bodies here. No one will take his body or anything else to the golden age or to the land of silence. There are countless human beings. All are to be destroyed. The one original, eternal, deity religion is now being established through Brahma. You daughters go to the villages and do so much service. You say to them: Consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father.

Sannyasis don’t know how to teach Raja Yoga. Who, apart from the Father, can teach Raja Yoga? The Father is now teaching you children Raja Yoga. Then you will receive your kingdom and you will remain in limitless happiness. There will be no need to have remembrance there. There will not be the slightest trace of sorrow. Your lifespan will be long and your body will be free from disease. Here, there is a great deal of sorrow. It is not that the Father has created this play to cause you sorrow. This is an original and eternal play of happiness and sorrow, victory and defeat etc. Sannyasis do not know these things and so how could they explain anything? They study the scriptures of the path of devotion. You are told: Consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father. Those sannyasis consider themselves to be the soul and they remember the brahm element. They consider the brahm element to be the Supreme Soul. They only have knowledge of the brahm element. In fact, the brahm element is the place of residence, where you souls reside, but they say that they will merge into the element. Their knowledge is totally upside-down.

Here, the unlimited Father is teaching you children. They say that God will come after forty thousand years. That is called the darkness of ignorance.

The Father says: I am the One who establishes the new world and who has the old world destroyed. I am carrying out the task of establishment; destruction is also standing ahead. Now, hurry up and become pure! Only then will you be able to go to the pure world. This is an old tamopradhan world; it is not the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan. Their kingdom existed in the new world; it no longer exists. They have continued to take rebirth. All sorts of things have been written in the scriptures. They have shown Krishna sitting in Arjuna’s horse chariot. It was not that Krishna was sitting inside Arjuna. Krishna was a bodily being.

There was no question of a war. They have divided the armies of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. However, those things do not happen here. Those are the limitless scriptures of the path of devotion. They do not exist in the golden age. There, it is your kingdom, your reward of knowledge. There, there is nothing but happiness. The Father establishes the new world, and so there would definitely be happiness in the new world. Would a father build an old home? A father would build a new home. That home is limited. This is the One who creates the new world which is called satopradhan. This world is now impure, tamopradhan.

You are now sitting in the foreign kingdom of Ravan. Shiv Baba is called Rama. They make donations in the name of Rama, chanting, “Rama, Rama”. Now, there is a vast difference between Rama and Shiv Baba. Shiv Baba now tells you children: Remember Me alone. You now have to return to the place you came from. Until you remember the Father and become pure, you will not be able to return home. There are very few among you who remember the Father accurately. It is not a question of saying anything through your lips. On the path of devotion, people say, “Rama, Rama”, with their lips. If someone doesn’t chant this, they call him an atheist. They sing very loudly. As the tree grows, so the paraphernalia of the path of devotion also grows. The Seed is very tiny. You do not have anything nor do you make any sound. You are simply told to consider yourselves to be souls and remember Me. You do not have to say anything with your lips. Children remember their physical fathers with their intellects. They do not sit and say: Baba, Baba. You now understand who the Father of souls is. All souls are brothers. Souls do not have any other name. However, the names of the bodies change. A soul is a soul and that One is the Supreme Soul. His name is Shiva. He does not have a body of His own. The Father says: If I had a body of My own, I would also have to take birth and rebirth. Who would then grant you salvation? People remember Me on the path of devotion. There are many images. You are now becoming residents of heaven from residents of hell.

You have taken birth in hell but you will die in order to go to heaven. You have come here in order to go to heaven. Before a bridge is constructed, they hold a foundation ceremony and then the bridge continues to be constructed. The Father has already performed the inauguration (foundation ceremony) of the establishment of heaven. Preparations are now taking place. Does it take time to build a building? Once the Government begins to build one, they are able to construct it within a month. Abroad you can buy ready-made homes. In heaven your intellects will be deep, subtle and satopradhan. Scientists have very clever intellects. They will build things very quickly. There, the walls will be studded with jewels. Nowadays, they make imitation jewellery very quickly that sparkles even more than the real thing. Nowadays, they also have machines to manufacture things very quickly. There, it does not take long to build a house.

It takes time to clean everything. It is not that the golden city of Dwaraka will rise from beneath the sea. Therefore, the Father says: Eat and drink, but simply remember the Father so that your sins can be absolved. There is no other method. You have been bathing in the Ganges for birth after birth, but no one has been able to attain  liberation or liberation-in-life. Here, the Father shows you the way to become pure. The Father says: I am the Purifier. You called out: O Purifier, Baba come! Come and make us pure. When a drama comes to an end, all the actors as well as the creator appear on the stage. They all stand on the stage. The same thing happens here too. When all souls have come down, you will then start returning. You are not ready yet.

You have not reached your karmateet stage and so how can destruction take place? The Father only comes in order to teach you for the new world. There, there is no death; you are conquering death. Who enables you to conquer death? The Death of all Deaths. He takes so many back with Him. You return in great happiness. The Father has now come to remove everyone’s sorrow. This is why people sing His praise: God, the Father, liberate us from sorrow! Take us to the land of peace and the land of happiness! However, human beings don’t know that the Father is now creating heaven. When you go to heaven, the tree will be very small, and then, later, expansion will take place. All the other religions now exist whereas that one religion does not exist. The name, form, kingdom etc. all change. To begin with, you had a double crown and you then became those with a single crown. When the Somnath Temple was built, there was so much wealth. That is the biggest temple and it was looted. The Father says: You are becoming multimillion times fortunate. Continue to remember the Father at every step and you will accumulate multimillions. You are able to earn so much income by remembering the Father. In that case, why do you forget to remember such a Father? The more you remember the Father and the more service you do, the higher the status you will claim. Many good children fall as they move along. If you dirty your face, all the income you have earned will be lost. You will lose a grand lottery. Achcha.

To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

Positive Thoughts


Positive thoughts are like good software that helps us to perform to the best of our abilities.



Bring Benefit

We usually take care not to speak negative words, but are not so
cautious about waste words. When we hear something interesting or unusual, we tend to repeat it to others. We repeat it to a lot of
people who have no concern with it. We also add up a lot of things and make it an interesting story for others. But, in reality, these words bring no benefit for others. Whatever words we speak, we need to check if they are bringing benefit to anyone. We need to speak only if there is likely to be any benefit. When we have attention not to speak anything negative, waste or even ordinary, others will experience sweetness through our words.


Quality Transformation (cont.)


'Quality transformers' can be compared to the oyster. When a tiny foreign particle invades (enters) the oyster's home, it secretes a liquid that combines with the particle to finally create a pearl. The pearl can live in the oyster's home for the rest of the oyster's natural life without causing any disturbance.

In the same way, rather than react negatively to people and events, we can include them and mould with them. Through acceptance, our consciousness jumps to another level of perception (understanding) and we realise that what we might have previously regarded as a problem can, if handled correctly, be a means to develop our strengths and remove our weaknesses. Whether a situation is a problem or a gift depends on our perception. The choice is ours.


Soul Sustenance

Being An Observer And An Actor – Maintaining The Balance

In relation to the other, we have the possibility of observing and intervening (interfering) when we wish to; that is, maintaining the balance between being an observer and acting; playing between forming part of the audience and being the actor. On being actors, sometimes we can lose ourselves in the acting of the other in his or her or their dramas; we get in so deep with what is happening to the other that we lose distance. We get mentally and emotionally involved in the other's stories. When our awareness gets lost in those stories, we stop being the creators of our own life and of our own story. This habit exhausts us; we lose energy; we lose our concentration and control over our thoughts and our emotions. We lose our inner peace and we begin to look for it again.

We can choose to observe the dance of ideas, images and acts of others, and not get involved in their complications. Only thus will we be at peace with ourselves and with the world. Remember that you create your own story. If you want to live in peace and exercise a positive influence on the people around you, don't try to control or to change the stories of others. In order to enjoy a painting you do not poke your nose onto it; you remain at a certain distance so you see it with greater clarity. The same thing occurs with the painting of life. By learning the art of being a detached observer and then intervening, of keeping a healthy distance, we manage to be connected with what is essential without losing ourselves in the waste and superfluous (excessive). That way, our intervention does not arise out of a reaction which has shades of frustration, anger and negative judgements. We are then the creators of spaces of trust and love in relationships.


Message for the day


The one who is truly fortunate is constantly enthusiastic.

Projection: When we find things going wrong with us, we immediately find ourselves losing all enthusiasm. We then do nothing to change our situation but just begin to curse our fate. With such an attitude we can do nothing to change our fortune.

Solution: When things go wrong, we have to recognise the fact that it is the present that is in our hands. We don't need to think of what happened in the past and curse our fate. Instead we need to fill ourselves with enthusiasm to make the best use of the present to make our future the best.

In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
