Get Busy

Instead of losing sleep over whatever I have done wrong, let me get busy doing something right.

Lightness

When we are faced with any difficulty, we usually tend to carry the
entire burden of it. Although we know that we can do nothing about it
by worrying, we are not able to let go of the feeling of worry, tension
or anxiety. So we tend to retain this burden with ourselves and feel
heavy about it. The way to feel light even during difficult times is to
pass on my burdens to God. When with faith I give the burden to Him, I
begin to experience lightness and this will enable me to search for the
right solutions (that are already within me). When the mind is busy
looking for solutions, it is further able to experience lightness.

Understanding What Is Real Happiness

Real happiness is not an external stimulation by watching an action movie or eating out or buying a new dress; it is not the result of acquiring something - whether it be a new car or a position, or of receiving some good news. True happiness is not relief from suffering - whether from an illness or a difficult situation, nor is it the achievement of a goal - whether personal or professional. All these are externally dependent, where happiness is confused with stimulation, excitement, achievement, acquisition or relief. Happiness is not all of these. You also know that happiness is not a future promise. It can only be experienced now.

So what is spiritual happiness - perhaps a better way to describe spiritual happiness is contentment. This comes from a complete awareness andacceptance of the self as we are now at an internal level, and an acceptance of 'what is' at an external level. Sounds difficult? The highest happiness is bliss which can be experienced only when the soul/self is totally free of all attachment and dependency. Sounds even more difficult? But this is a spiritual understanding and definition of happiness, which is not difficult to accept and make a part of our life, once there is a deep understandingand absorption of spiritual knowledge, but spiritual knowledge which is accurate and complete in all aspects. Spiritual happiness is a direct result of spiritual knowledge. Without complete knowledge of the self, one cannot remain ever and truly happy (happy as per the definition above).

Soul Sustenance

Adding A Spiritual Vibration To My Actions

My quality of yoga or meditation is reflected through the karmas or actions that I perform. If I add meditation in my daily routine, whatever actions I perform, start carrying a different quality or vibration to them.Work itself (whether at home or in the office), far from being a routine affair and just a medium of survival, becomes the basis of real transformation or change. After all, it was through actions that the soul came down from its original, pure, positive state. It is through actions that it can return back to the same state.

It's not just action for the self but action or karma becomes the means through which I can share the experience I have in meditation, with others – be it family members, my colleagues in the office, at the city mall, in the vegetable market, on the street etc. - just about anywhere and everywhere. My meditation isn't an incognito (invisible) process but a very visible one. I can see the results of yoga through my karmas. If my actions are filled with irritation and anger, or are motivated by emotions such as ego, greed, attachment, jealousy, hatred, etc, or if I do not experience constant happiness or my mind still has a high percentage of waste thoughts, these are indicators that my meditation is inaccurate or insufficient. If there is the experience of a link with the Supreme, his peace, purity, love, joy and power will manifest themselves and be visible to others through my actions.

Message for the day

Success comes to the one who understands the importance of time.

Projection: When we are working at a task, success doesn't come as much as it should because we have not been able to recognise the importance of time. Because of this sometimes carelessness sets in which makes us lose valuable time and interferes in what we are doing. Then, we cannot give our best to the task.

Solution: We need to recognise the importance of time so that we never postpone what we can do now. We will then always have the slogan 'now or never' in our mind. Knowing that what we can do now, we cannot do it as well in the future, we'll give our best to all we do right now. This will enable us to use our time in a fruitful way and success will come very easily to us.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli (H&E): July 28, 2014:

Essence of Murli (H&E): July 28, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, do not look at the body but at the soul. Consider yourself to be a soul and speak to the soul. You have to make this stage firm. This alone is the high destination.

Question: When will you children go up above (to the home) with the Father?

Answer: When not the slightest trace of impurity remains. Only when you children become as pure as the Father will you be able to go up above. You children are now personally in front of the Father. When you become full of knowledge by continually listening to the Ocean of Knowledge and emptying the Father of knowledge will He then become quiet and you children will go to the land of peace. Knowledge will stop trickling there. Once He has given you everything, His part will then be of silence.

Essence for Dharna:

1. By making effort for remembrance and by imbibing knowledge, you have to reach your karmateet stage. Inculcate the full knowledge of the Ocean of Knowledge into yourself.

2. Remove the alloy that is mixed in the soul and become completely viceless. Let there not be the slightest trace of impurity. Practise, "We souls are brothers".

Blessing: May you be a jewel of contentment and use all your treasures in your Brahmin life in a worthwhile way and become full of all attainments.

 In Brahmin life, the greatest of all treasures is the treasure of remaining content. Where there are all attainments, there is contentment and where there is contentment, there is everything. Those who are jewels of contentment are embodiment of all attainments. Their song is: I have attained that which I wanted to attain. The way to become full of all attainments in this way is to use all the treasures you have received because to the extent that you use them in a worthwhile way, accordingly, they will continue to increase.

Slogan: A holy swan is one who constantly picks up pearls of goodness and not stones of defects.

सार:-  “मीठे बच्चे - इस शरीर को न देख आत्मा को देखो, अपने को आत्मा समझ आत्मा से बात करो, इस अवस्था को जमाना है, यही ऊंची मंजिल है“

                                             
प्रश्न:-    तुम बच्चे बाप के साथ ऊपर (घर में) कब जायेंगे?

उत्तर:- जब अपवित्रता की मात्रा रिंचक भी नहीं रहेगी । जैसे बाप प्योर है ऐसे तुम बच्चे भी प्योर बनेंगे तब ऊपर जा सकेंगे । अभी तुम बच्चे बाप के सम्मुख हो । ज्ञान सागर से ज्ञान सुन-सुन कर जब फुल हो जायेंगे, बाप को नॉलेज से खाली कर देंगे फिर वह भी शान्त हो जायेंगे और तुम बच्चे भी शान्तिधाम में चले जायेंगे । वहाँ ज्ञान टपकना बंद हो जाता । सब कुछ दे दिया फिर उनका पार्ट है साइलेन्स का ।

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार:-

1. याद की मेहनत और ज्ञान की धारणा से कर्मातीत अवस्था को पाने का पुरूषार्थ करना है । ज्ञान सागर की सम्पूर्ण नॉलेज स्वयं में धारण करनी है ।

2. आत्मा में जो खाद पड़ी है उसे निकाल सम्पूर्ण वाइसलेस बनना है । रिंचक मात्र भी अपवित्रता का अंश न रहे । हम आत्मा भाई- भाई हैं....... यह अभ्यास करना है ।

वरदान:- ब्राह्मण जीवन में सर्व खजानों को सफल कर सदा प्राप्ति सम्पन्न बनने वाले सन्तुष्टमणि भव !

ब्राह्मण जीवन का सबसे बड़े से बड़ा खजाना है सन्तुष्ट रहना । जहाँ सर्व प्राप्तियां हैं वहाँ सन्तुष्टता है और जहाँ सन्तुष्टता है वहाँ सब कुछ है । जो सन्तुष्टता के रत्न हैं वह सब प्राप्ति स्वरूप हैं, उनका गीत है पाना था वह पा लिया...... ऐसे सर्व प्राप्ति सम्पन्न बनने की विधि है - मिले हुए सर्व खजानों को यूज़ करना क्योंकि जितना सफल करेंगे उतना खजाने बढ़ते जायेंगे ।

स्लोगन:-  होलीहंस उन्हें कहा जाता जो सदा अच्छाई रूपी मोती ही चुगते हैं, अवगुण रूपी कंकड़ नहीं ।
