Daily Positive Thoughts: September 30, 2014: Don't Worry, Be Happy

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 30, 2014: Don't Worry, Be Happy


 

Adam Cooper in Singin' in the Rain at the Palace Theatre

Don't Worry, Be Happy

When we worry, we make problems bigger than they really are. Don't worry. Be happy.

Did you know that singing improves your mood? So, sing, sing, sing your worries away.

Accept whatever you have no control over.


Prepare whatever you can. Keep the thought: at the right time, the right things will happen.

Performing A Spiritual Audit At The End Of The Day (cont.)





Yesterday we had explained how self evaluation at the end of the day is extremely vital to one's progress and development. A useful exercise in this regard is keeping a daily chart for about 3 personality traits or points and filling it up every night (lesser than 3 is also fine, but not more , because then you might feel lazy in keeping the chart after a few days and also you might lose focus and the personality traits may not transform as much as you want). You could either evaluate yourself with a yes or no or perform a percentage wise evaluation like 50% or 90% for e.g. We have mentioned below, some of the common traits from which you could select the traits to keep a daily chart for. You could incorporate some other specific traits (not mentioned in this list), which you want to change or develop, depending on your personality:

In the entire day, today; not only in my words and actions, but also in my thoughts:
* Did I see everyone's specialties and keep good wishes for each one, in spite of obvious weaknesses being visible?
* Did I remain free from all forms of anger, like irritation, frustration, grudge, revenge, etc.?
* Did I ensure that I neither give nor take sorrow, hurt, pain from anyone?
* Did I remain free from waste and negative?
* Did I remain ego less?
* Did I remain untouched by name, fame, praise, insult?
* Did I remain stable?
* Did I remain free from judgments, criticism, jealousy, comparison, hatred, etc.?
* Did I keep a conscious of serving each one whom I met?
* Did I bring the 8 main powers into practice and experience being powerful?
* Did I remain in self-respect and give respect to everyone?
* Did I practice being soul-conscious in actions and interactions?
* Did I take a one minute break every hour to reflect, meditate and control the traffic of thoughts in the mind?

Yog

The crux of communication is wastage. In writing, the search for
expression, the sensitivity to its reception, the pressure of time,
drains away the energy of thought at its conception. When it arrives,
it is diluted (or exaggerated); it may come late or the reader is busy.
"Might" is read as "won't", sorry for "can't", "love" for "much love".
In speech, instead of doing, doing is spoken of, and the gap between
the two takes action away until instead "love" means "leave me alone";
"thanks" means "hurry up"; silence means "I'm tired" or "busy". Moments
when speech meets action; and both spring out of a single thought into
clear expression are rare. There are gaps of darkness; semi-openness;
semi-honesty. Funny people convey truth in humour and serious people
seek out quality in their friendship.

A day will come when what you think, do and say, will all be equal
expressions of one force. And the force will be you. Not a mixture of
conscience and impulse, duty and desire. Just you. You will just live.
And what you are living will be part of the river that will run through
everyone. The landscape of your mind will be unique, but the water will
be the same and it will be clean.

What will words be then? Words will explain things that would take too
long to show, like how to climb a mountain. Words will represent
things. Words will be destinations, not journeys. They will be like
palaces not tents. There would be no point in decorating a tent because
it is always being moved. But a palace is fixed, traditional, rich.
There will be no irony, sarcasm, no ambiguity for these destroy value.
Instead words will be filled with depth, age, and above all resonance,
because they will be places of meeting and enjoyment, free from ego of
debate or discussion. You cannot learn to communicate like that from a
human being. For a human is filled with the past and every word spoken
is weighted by that. Love felt deeply has desire in it somewhere. You
have to learn it from God. It is called yog.


Soul Sustenance

Simple Exercise To Identify Your Hidden Fears

If you want to overcome and overpower fears that exist inside you, you have to first take a look at your feelings and hidden emotions. After realizing your feelings and emotions, you have to know how to manage them and finally correct or overcome them. Given below is a simple exercise that will help you to achieve that. This exercise will help you identify the conscious and sometimes sub-conscious (very subtle) fears that lie inside you. Choose an area of your life that you feel is negative and needs some improvement. Now, ask yourself these three questions:

1. What do I really want, what is my aim and objective?
2. What obstacle/obstacles are stopping me from achieving my objectives?
3. What prevents me from dealing with or overcoming that obstacle?

For each fear that comes to you in response to the question no. 3, ask yourself the following questions:
A. What is the worst that can happen, if what I fear occurs?
B. What is the best possible result for me and for others, if I do it even though I feel afraid of doing it?
C. Keeping in front of you the answer to question B and comparing it with the answer to question A will inspire you to overcome the fears that lie inside you.
Message for the day


To forgive the self is to have the ability to forgive others too.

Projection: I sometimes find it very difficult to forgive the mistakes committed by others. I do try to understand but am not able to understand the other person's behaviour and so find it difficult to forgive them.

Solution: When I have love for myself and am able to learn from all that happens, I am able to forgive myself. When I know to do this, I can understand the other person too from his perspective and can easily forgive him.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris


Essence of Murli (H&E): September 29, 2014:


Essence of Murli (H&E): September 29, 2014:

Essence:   Sweet children, the Father comes every cycle to give you His introduction.  You also have to give the Father's accurate introduction (yathaarth parichay) to everyone.

Question: On hearing which question from the children is the Father amazed?

Answer: Children say: Baba, it is very difficult to give Your introduction. How can we give Your introduction? The Father is amazed on hearing this question. Since the Father has given you His introduction, you can also give it to others. There is nothing difficult about this; it is very easy. All souls are incorporeal and so their Father too must surely be incorporeal.

Essence for dharna:

1.      Stay in this awareness: I, the soul, am sitting on this immortal throne (akaal takht nasheen). You have to go beyond the limited and the unlimited. Therefore, do not allow your intellect to become trapped in anything limited.

2.      Maintain the intoxication of receiving unlimited property from your unlimited Father. Understand the secret of action, neutral action and sinful action (karm-akarm-vikarm) and thereby save yourself from performing sinful actions. Remove your intellect from your business etc. whilst studying. 

Blessing:  May you be complete with wealth (sampattivaan) by receiving the blessing of the most elevated wealth from the Bestower of Blessings (Vardaata).

If someone has just physical wealth, he cannot remain constantly content. As well as physical wealth, if someone does not have the wealth of all virtues, all powers and the elevated wealth of knowledge, there cannot be constant contentment. All of you have of all of these types of elevated wealth. People of the world consider someone with physical wealth to be wealthy, but you children have received the most elevated wealth as a blessing from the Father, the Bestower of Blessings.

Today, from the blessing we can also infer: 

Money can buy almost anything, but money cannot buy happiness. Happiness comes from within, not without. By being the children of the Almighty Father, we have received the inheritance of peace prosperity and happiness for 21 births. Only the confluence-aged Brahmins receive a blessing each and every day from the Vardata Father, the Bestower of Blessings, each and every day. Only the confluence-aged Brahmins receive the jewels of knowledge each and every day from the Father, the Teacher. With firm faith, all these attainments cannot get lost or stolen. A soul who is content, has a life full of happiness.


In this Brahmin life, become full through relationships with the Bestower, the Bestower of Fortune and the Bestower of Blessings (data, vardata aur vidhaata), and stay in spiritual pleasure without making any effort. By remembering the Father in the form of the Bestower, have the intoxication of your spiritual rights. By remembering Him in the form of a Teacher, have the intoxication of being a Godly student. By remembering the Satguru, move with blessings at every step. You have elevated directions for every action as blessings from the Bestower of Blessings. Follow the Father in every thought word and deed and remain full of all attainments and free from worry.


Slogan: With true spiritual endeavour (sachchi saadhana), transform the cries of distress (hai, hai) into words of wonder (wah, wah). 

Points to churn from the slogan:

We, the souls belonging to God, the images of happiness, the very dear, very dear and beloved children, the few out of multimillions and the handful out of the few, serving through our faces, through our eyes and through a few words, remove the sorrow of every wandering and distressed soul and give them happiness... we transform every soul with our image, our attitude, our vision and with our true spiritual endeavor (sadhna)... we are the master lords of  Maya, the conquerors of Maya, the conquerors of matter who recognize  Maya and  any of her various forms from a distance with the power of discernment...

By being the children of the Ocean of all divine Virtues, by having elevated dharna, and with clean, clear and transparent intellects, we become master oceans... we remain constantly cheerful by using the powers and the points of knowledge at the right time and with the right method... we are the master creators who take benefit of our creation...while using the facilities of science we let our spiritual endeavour continue and so remain uninfluenced by them... we are the constant yogis who transform any limited consciousness of “I” or “mine” into the unlimited...

By being beyond prestige and the influence of distress, and by stabilizing ourselves in an elevated stage, and by observing the play of everyone down below as detached observers in a soul conscious state, we  become the embodiments of solutions...we remain unshakable in our spiritual endeavor in spite of  upheavals in the environment, from other people, through relationships, and through lack of essential facilities...by using facilities provided by matter for the self from time to time, we become independent of them and then become karmateet...

we are karmayogis who perform every action by being yogyukt and yuktiyukt...we are the master creators who take benefit of our creation...while using the facilities of science we let our spiritual endeavour continue and so remain uninfluenced by them and transform the cries of distress (hai, hai) into words of wonder (wah, wah)... 

Points from the Murli:

1.   The foremost aspect is to give the Father's introduction. Where is the Father? In this chariot; this is the immortal throne. You souls too are immortal images. All of these are your thrones on which you souls are present.  I am an immortal image (Akaalmoort), that is, an incorporeal one, who has no corporeal form.

2.   He is the Father of all souls. It is wrong to say that He is beyond name and form. His name and form are remembered.

3.   The Father is the benevolent One; He brings a great deal of benefit.

4.    By recognizing the Father, you understand that you receive an unlimited inheritance from the unlimited Father. You children understand that the property of the unlimited Father is that of the kingdom of the world of heaven.

5.   People still sing: When the Sun of Knowledge rises, the darkness of ignorance is dispelled; The Father explains that the Sun of Knowledge, the unlimited Father is also called the Ocean of Knowledge.

6.   The Father explains: I am the Laundryman (Dhobi). I make you pure and clean through the power of yoga.

7.   It is the Father who is the Purifier. How can river water purify you? Those rivers also exist in the golden age. The water there remains very clean.

8.   They say of Shiv Baba that He is present everywhere (Haaziraahazoor) and that He is the Knower of all Secrets (Jaani-jaananhaar). You have now come to know how He gives the knowledge of the beginning, middle and end of creation. Father explains the secret of action, neutral action and sinful action (karm-akarm-vikarm). Here, in the kingdom of Ravan, actions become sinful. There, there is no kingdom of Ravan, and their actions are therefore neutral. Ravan is not eternal. For half the cycle it is the kingdom of Ravan and for the other half it is the kingdom of Rama.

9.   The rosary of devotees and the rosary of Rudra are remembered but there is no rosary of Brahmins. The rosary of Vishnu has also been remembered.

सार:- “मीठे बच्चे - बाप कल्प-कल्प आकर तुम बच्चों को अपना परिचय देते हैं, तुम्हें भी सबको बाप का यथार्थ परिचय देना है”
                      
प्रश्न:-   बच्चों के किस प्रश्न को सुनकर बाप भी वंडर खाते हैं?

उत्तर:- बच्चे कहते हैं - बाबा आपका परिचय देना बहुत मुश्किल है । हम आपका परिचय कैसे दें? यह प्रश्न सुनकर बाप को भी वन्डर लगता है । जब तुम्हें बाप ने अपना परिचय दिया है तो तुम भी दूसरों को दे सकते हो, इसमें मुश्किलात की बात ही नहीं । यह तो बहुत सहज है । हम सब आत्मायें निराकार हैं तो जरूर उनका बाप भी निराकार होगा । 

धारणा के लिए मुख्य सार:-

1. मैं आत्मा अकाल तख्त नशीन हूँ इस स्मृति में रहना है, हद और बेहद से पार जाना है इसलिए हदों में बुद्धि नहीं फँसानी है ।  

2. बेहद बाप से बेहद की मिलकियत मिलती है, इस नशे में रहना है । कर्म-अकर्म-विकर्म की गति को जान विकर्मों से बचना है । पढ़ाई के समय धन्धे आदि से बुद्धि निकाल लेनी है । 

वरदान:- वरदाता द्वारा सर्वश्रेष्ठ सम्पत्ति का वरदान प्राप्त करने वाले सम्पत्तिवान भव ! 

किसी के पास अगर सिर्फ स्थूल सम्पत्ति है तो भी सदा सन्तुष्ट नहीं रह सकते । स्थूल सम्पत्ति के साथ अगर सर्व गुणों की सम्पत्ति, सर्व शक्तियों की सम्पत्ति और ज्ञान की श्रेष्ठ सम्पत्ति नहीं है तो सन्तुष्टता सदा नहीं रह सकती । आप सबके पास तो यह सब श्रेष्ठ सम्पत्तियाँ हैं । दुनिया वाले सिर्फ स्थूल सम्पत्ति वाले को सम्पत्तिवान समझते हैं लेकिन वरदाता बाप द्वारा आप बच्चों को सर्व श्रेष्ठ सम्पत्तिवान भव का वरदान मिला हुआ है ।  

स्लोगन:-  सच्ची साधना द्वारा हाय-हाय को वाह-वाह में परिवर्तन करो ।

Om shanti. You sweetest, spiritual children understand that you are sitting with the unlimited Father. You also know that the unlimited Father comes in this chariot. When you say "BapDada", you know that it is Shiv Baba sitting in this chariot and giving you His introduction. You children know that He is Baba. Baba gives you directions to remember the spiritual Father so that your sins can be burnt away. This is also called the fire of yoga. You have now recognized the Father. Therefore, how can you ask: How can I give the Father's introduction to others? You have the introduction of the unlimited Father and so you can surely give it to others. The question of how to give His introduction cannot even arise. Just as you have come to know the Father, in the same way, you can tell them that there is only the one Father of all souls. There is no need to be confused about this. Some say: Baba, it is very difficult to give Your introduction. Oh! There is no question of any difficulty in giving the Father's introduction. Even an animal understands with signals that it is the child of so-and-so. You also understand that He is the Father of us souls. I, the soul, am now inside this body. Baba has explained that His soul is the immortal image. It is not that He does not have a form. You children have recognized Him. This is a very simple matter. There is only the one incorporeal Father of all souls. All souls are brothers, children of the Father. We receive an inheritance from the Father. You also know that there could never be a child in this world who does not know his father and his creation. He would also know what property his father has. This is the meeting of souls with the Supreme Soul. This is the benevolent gathering.  The Father is the benevolent One; He brings a great deal of benefit. By recognizing the Father, you understand that you receive an unlimited inheritance from the unlimited Father. The followers of those sannyasis and gurus do not know about the inheritance of their guru. Hardly any of the followers know what property their guru has. It is now in your intellects: This is Shiv Baba, and He too has property. You children understand that the property of the unlimited Father is that of the kingdom of the world of heaven. This aspect is not in the intellect of anyone except you children. What property does a physical father have? His children would know that. You now say that you belong to the parlokik Father whilst alive. You also know what you receive from Him. Previously, you used to belong to the shudra clan and you have now come into the Brahmin clan.  You have the knowledge that Baba comes in this body of Brahma. This one is called the Father of Humanity (Prajapita Brahma). Shiva is the Father of all souls. This one (Father of Humanity) is called the great, great grandfather. You have now become his children. They say of Shiv Baba that He is present everywhere (Haaziraahazoor) and that He is the Knower of all Secrets (Jaani-jaananhaar). You have now come to know how He gives the knowledge of the beginning, middle and end of creation. He is the Father of all souls. It is wrong to say that He is beyond name and form. His name and form are remembered. The Night of Shiva (Shiv Ratri) is also celebrated. It is human beings who have birthdays whereas the night refers to Shiv Baba. You children understand what is called "night''. There is total darkness in the night; it is the darkness of ignorance. People still sing: When the Sun of Knowledge rises, the darkness of ignorance is dispelled, but they do not understand the meaning of that. They don't understand what the Sun is or when He rises. The Father explains that the Sun of Knowledge is also called the Ocean of Knowledge. The unlimited Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. Sannyasis and gurus etc. consider themselves to be authorities of the scriptures; all of that is devotion. Many are called scholars because they study the Vedas and scriptures. Therefore, the Father sits here and explains to you spiritual children. This is called the meeting of the souls with the Supreme Soul. You understand that the Father has entered this chariot. This meeting is called a gathering (mela). When we return home, that too is a gathering. The Father Himself sits here and teaches you. He is the Father as well as the Teacher. Imbibe this one point very well. Do not forget it! Now, the Father is incorporeal; He does not have a body of His own. Therefore, He definitely has to adopt a body. He Himself says: I have to take the support of matter. Otherwise, how could I speak? It is not possible to speak without a body. Therefore, the Father enters this body. This one is given the name "Brahma''. When we change from shudras to Brahmins, our names should also change.  You were given names but look, in spite of that, some are no longer here.  This is why there is no rosary of Brahmins. The rosary of devotees and the rosary of Rudra are remembered but there is no rosary of Brahmins. The rosary of Vishnu has also been remembered. Who is the first bead of that rosary?  You would say, ''The dual-bead." This is why a couple is also shown in the subtle region.  Vishnu is shown with four arms - two arms of Lakshmi and two arms of Narayan. The Father explains: I am the Laundryman. I make you pure and clean through the power of yoga. Even then, you lose your decoration by indulging in vice. The Father comes to make everyone clean. He comes and teaches you souls. Therefore, the One who teaches definitely has to come here. People call out: Come and purify us! Clothes become dirty and they are cleaned by being washed. You also used to call out: 0 Purifier Baba, come and purify us. When souls become pure they can receive pure bodies. Therefore, the foremost aspect is to give the Father's introduction. You cannot even ask the question: How can I give the Father's introduction? You have come here because the Father has given you His introduction. You have come to the Father. Where is the Father? Inthis chariot; this is the immortal throne. You souls too are immortal images. All of these are your thrones on which you souls are present. That physical immortal throne (in Amritsar) is non-living. You understand that I am an immortal image, that is, an incorporeal one, who has no corporeal form. I, the soul am immortal; I can never be destroyed. I shed one body and take another. My, the soul's, part is eternally fixed.  My part began in the same way 5000 years ago. We came from our home to play our parts from the period beginning with I.I.I. This is the cycle of 5000 years. They speak of hundreds of thousands of years. This is why they are not able to think about it having fewer years. Therefore, you children should never ask how you can give the Father's introduction to others. Baba is amazed when you ask such questions. Oh! you now belong to the Father, and so how is it that you are unable to give His introduction? We are all souls and He is our Baba, the One who grants salvation to all. You now know when He grants everyone salvation. He comes at the confluence of every cycle to grant salvation to all. Those people think that 40,000 years still remain and they straightaway say that He is beyond name and form. Now, can there be anything beyond name and form? Even pebbles and stones have names. Therefore, the Father says: Sweetest children, you have come to the unlimited Father. The Father also knows that there are many children. You children have to go beyond the limited and the unlimited. He sees all the children and knows that He has come to take them all back. There will be very few in the golden age. This knowledge is very clear; it is explained with pictures. Knowledge is absolutely easy. However, the pilgrimage of remembrance takes time. You must never forget such a Father. The Father says: Remember Me alone and you will become pure. I come to purify the impure. You immortal souls are sitting on your individual thrones. Baba has also taken this throne on loan. The Father enters this lucky chariot. Some say that the Supreme Soul does not have a name or form. That is not possible. They call out to Him and also sing His praise, and so He must surely be something. Because of being tamopradhan they do not understand anything. The Father explains: Sweetest children, there cannot be 8.4 million species. The maximum number is 84 births. Everyone has to take rebirth. It is not that anyone can go and merge into the brahm element or attain eternal liberation. This drama is predestined. There cannot be one soul more or one soul less. It is from this eternal and immortal drama that they create small dramas. Those are perishable. You children are now in the unlimited. You children have received the knowledge of how you have taken 84 births. The Father has now told you this, but previously, none of you knew it. Even the rishis and munis used to say: We do not know. The Father only comes at the confluence age to change this old world. He is once again carrying out the establishment  of the new world through Brahma. Those people speak of hundreds of thousands of years but no one could remember anything that old. No great annihilation ever takes place. The Father teaches you Raja Yoga and you then claim your kingdom. There is no doubt about this. You children know that the first number, the most loved, is the Father and then the next most loved is Shri Krishna. You know that Shri Krishna is number one, the first prince of heaven. He then takes 84 births. I enter his body in his last birth. You now have to become pure from impure. It is the Father who is the Purifier. How can river water purify you? Those rivers also exist in the golden age. The water there remains very clean. No rubbish etc. remains in them. Here, there is so much rubbish in them. Baba has seen all of that. He had no knowledge at that time. Baba is now amazed at how he thought that water could purify you! The Father explains: Sweetest children, never become confused about how you can remember the Father. Ah! can you not remember the Father? Those children are born through vice whereas you children are adopted. How can an adopted child forget the father from whom he receives an inheritance? You receive unlimited property from the unlimited Father. Therefore, you should not forget Him. Do children ever forget their physical father?  However, here, there is opposition from Maya.  Maya continues to wage war on you. This whole world is the field of action. A soul enters a body and performs actions here. The Father explains the secret of action, neutral action and sinful action (karm-akarm-vikarm). Here, in the kingdom of Ravan, actions become sinful. There, there is no kingdom of Ravan, and their actions are therefore neutral. There are no sinful actions there. These aspects are very easy. Here, in the kingdom of Ravan, actions become sinful. This is why you have to experience punishment for sins. It is not that Ravan is eternal. No, for half the cycle it is the kingdom of Ravan and for the other half it is the kingdom of Rama. When you were deities your actions were neutral. All of this is knowledge. Now that you have become Baba's children, you also have to study this knowledge. That's all! You should not have any other thoughts of business etc. However, those who live at home also have to do business etc. Therefore, the Father says: Remain like a lotus flower. You are to become like those deities. That symbol has been given to Vishnu because it would not suit you. It suits him. It is that dual-form of Vishnu that becomes Lakshmi and Narayan. That is the non-violent, most elevated deity religion. There is no sword of lust there nor is there any fighting or quarrelling. You are becoming doubly non-violent.  You were the masters of the golden age. It is called the golden-aged pure world. Both soul and body become pure. Who makes your bodies pure? The Father. It is now the iron age. You say that the golden age has passed. Yesterday, when you ruled, it was the golden age. You continue to become knowledge-full. Not everyone can become the same. Achcha.

मीठे-मीठे रूहानी बच्चे समझते हैं बेहद के बाप पास बैठे हैं । यह भी जानते हैं बेहद का बाप इस रथ पर ही आते हैं । जब बापदादा कहते हैं, यह तो जानते हैं कि शिवबाबा है और वह इस रथ पर बैठा है । अपना परिचय दे रहे हैं । बच्चे जानते हैं वह बाबा हैं, बाबा मत देते हैं कि रूहानी बाप को याद करो तो पाप भस्म हो जाएं, जिसको योग अग्नि कहते हैं । अभी तुम बाप को तो पहचानते हो । तो ऐसे कभी थोड़े ही कहेंगे कि बाप का परिचय दूसरे को कैसे दूँ । तुमको भी बेहद के बाप का परिचय है तो जरूर दे भी सकते हो । परिचय कैसे दें, यह तो प्रश्न ही नहीं उठ सकता है । जैसे तुमने बाप को जाना है, वैसे तुम कह सकते हो कि हम आत्माओं का बाप तो एक ही है, इसमें मूँझने की दरकार ही नहीं रहती । कोई-कोई कहते हैं बाबा आपका परिचय देना बड़ा मुश्किल होता है । अरे, बाप का परिचय देना-इसमें तो मुश्किलात की कोई बात ही नहीं । जानवर भी इशारे से समझ जाते हैं कि मैं फलाने का बच्चा हूँ । तुम भी जानते हो कि हम आत्माओं का वह बाप है । हम आत्मा अभी इस शरीर में प्रवेश हैं । जैसे बाबा ने समझाया है कि आत्मा अकालमूर्त्त है । ऐसे नहीं उसका कोई रूप नहीं है । बच्चों ने पहचाना हैं-बिल्कुल सिम्पुल बात है । आत्माओं का एक ही निराकार बाप है । हम सब आत्मायें भाई- भाई हैं । बाप की सन्तान हैं । बाप से हमको वर्सा मिलता है । यह भी जानते हैं ऐसा कोई बच्चा इस दुनिया में नहीं होगा जो बाप को और उनकी रचना को न जानता हो । बाप के पास क्या प्रापर्टी है, वह सब जानते हैं । यह है ही आत्माओं और परमात्मा का मेला । यह कल्याणकारी मेला है । बाप हैं ही कल्याणकारी । बहुत कल्याण करते हैं । बाप को पहचानने से समझते हो-बेहद के बाप से हमको बेहद का वर्सा मिलता है । वह जो सन्यासी गुरू होते हैं, उनके शिष्यों को गुरू के वर्से का मालूम नहीं रहता है । गुरू के पास क्या मिलकियत है, यह कोई शिष्य मुश्किल जानते होंगे । तुम्हारी बुद्धि में तो है-वह शिवबाबा हैं, मिलकियत भी बाबा के पास होती है । बच्चे जानते हैं बेहद के बाप के पास मिलकियत है-विश्व की बादशाही स्वर्ग । यह बातें सिवाए तुम बच्चों के और कोई की बुद्धि में नहीं है । लौकिक बाप के पास क्या मिलकियत है, वह उनके बच्चे ही जानते हैं । अभी तुम कहेंगे हम जीते जी पारलौकिक बाप के बने हैं । उनसे क्या मिलता है, वह भी जानते हैं । हम पहले शूद्र कुल में थे, अभी ब्राह्मण कुल में आ गये हैं । यह नॉलेज है कि बाबा इस ब्रह्मा तन में आते हैं, इनको प्रजापिता ब्रह्मा कहा जाता है । वह (शिव) तो हैं सब आत्माओं का फादर । इनको (प्रजापिता ब्रह्मा) को ग्रेट-ग्रेट ग्रैंड फादर कहते हैं । अब हम इनके बच्चे बने हैं । शिवबाबा के लिए तो कहते हैं वह हाज़िराहजूर हैं । जानी-जाननहार हैं । यह भी अब तुम समझते हो कि वह कैसे रचना के आदि-मध्य- अन्त की नॉलेज देते हैं । वह सब आत्माओं का बाप हैं, उनको नाम-रूप से न्यारा कहना तो झूठ हैं । उनका नाम-रूप भी याद है । रात्रि भी मनाते हैं, जयन्ती तो मनुष्यों की होती है । शिवबाबा की रात्रि कहेंगे । बच्चे समझते हैं रात्रि किसको कहा जाता हैं । रात में घोर अन्धियारा हो जाता है । अज्ञान अन्धियारा है ना । ज्ञान सूर्य प्रगटा अज्ञान अन्धेर विनाश- अभी भी गाते हैं परन्तु अर्थ कुछ नहीं समझते । सूर्य कौन है, कब प्रगटा, कुछ नहीं समझते । बाप समझाते हैं ज्ञान सूर्य को ज्ञान सागर भी कहा जाता है । बेहद का बाप ज्ञान का सागर है । सन्यासी, गुरू, गोसाई आदि अपने को शास्त्रों की अथॉरिटी समझते हैं, वह सब है भक्ति । बहुत वेद-शास्त्र पढ़कर विद्वान होते हैं । तो बाप रूहानी बच्चों को बैठ समझाते हैं, इनको कहा जाता है आत्मा और परमात्मा का मेला । तुम समझते हो बाप इस रथ में आये हुए हैं । इस मिलन को ही मेला कहते हैं । जब हम घर जाते हैं तो वह भी मेला है । यहाँ बाप खुद बैठ पढ़ाते हैं । वह फादर भी है, टीचर भी है । यह एक ही प्वाइंत अच्छी रीति धारण करो, भूलो मत । अब बाप तो है निराकार, उनको अपना शरीर नहीं हैं तो जरूर लेना पड़े । तो खुद कहते हैं मैं प्रकृति का आधार लेता हूँ । नहीं तो बोलूँ कैसे? शरीर बिगर तो बोलना होता नहीं । तो बाप इस तन में आते हैं, इनका नाम रखा है ब्रह्मा । हम भी शूद्र से ब्राह्मण बनें तो नाम बदलना ही चाहिए । नाम तो तुम्हारे रखे थे । परन्तु उसमें भी अभी देखो तो कई हैं ही नहीं इसलिए ब्राह्मणों की माला नहीं होती । भक्त माला और रूद्र माला गाई हुई है । बाह्मणों की माला नहीं होती । विष्णु की माला तो चली आई है । पहले नम्बर में माला का दाना कौन है? कहेंगे युगल इसलिए सूक्ष्मवतन में भी युगल दिखाया हैं । विष्णु भी 4 भुजा वाला दिखाया है । दो भुजा लक्ष्मी की, दो भुजा नारायण की ।
बाप समझाते हैं मैं धोबी हूँ । मैं योगबल से तुम आत्माओं को शुद्ध बनाता हूँ फिर भी तुम विकार में जाकर अपना श्रृंगार ही गँवा देते हो । बाप आते हैं सबको शुद्ध बनाने । आत्माओं को आकर सिखलाते हैं तो सिखलाने वाला जरूर यहाँ चाहिए ना । पुकारते भी हैं आकर पावन बनाओ । कपड़ा भी मैला होता हैं तो उनको धोकर शुद्ध बनाया जाता है । तुम भी पुकारते हो - हे पतित पावन बाबा, आकर पावन बनाओ । आत्मा पावन बनें तो शरीर भी पावन मिले । तो पहली-पहली मूल बात होती है बाप का परिचय देना । बाप का परिचय कैसे दें, यह तो प्रश्न ही नहीं पूछ सकते । तुमको भी बाप ने परिचय दिया है तब तो तुम आये होना । बाप पास आते हो, बाप कहाँ है? इस रथमें । यह है अकालतख्त । तुम आत्मा भी अकालमूर्त्त हो । यह सब तुम्हारे तख्त हैं, जिस पर तुम आत्मायें विराजमान हो । वह तो अकाल तख्त जड़ हो गया ना । तुम जानते हो मैं अकाल मूर्त्त अर्थात् निराकार, जिसका साकार रूप नहीं है । मैं आत्मा अविनाशी हूँ, कब विनाश हो न सके । एक शरीर छोड़ दूसरा लेता हूँ । मुझ आत्मा का पार्ट अविनाशी नूँधा हुआ है । आज से 5 हज़ार वर्ष पहले भी हमारा ऐसे ही पार्ट शुरू हुआ था । वन-वन संवत से हम यहाँ पार्ट बजाने घर से आते हैं । यह है ही 5 हज़ार वर्ष का चक्र । वह तो लाखों वर्ष कह देते हैं इसलिए थोड़े वर्षों का विचार में नहीं आता । तो बच्चे ऐसा कभी कह नहीं सकते कि हम बाप का परिचय किसको कैसे दें । ऐसे-ऐसे प्रश्न पूछते हैं तो वंडर लगता है । अरे, तुम बाप के बने हो, फिर बाप का परिचय क्यों नहीं दे सकते हो। हम सब आत्मायें हैं, वह हमारा बाबा है । सर्व की सद्गति करते हैं । सद्गति कब करेंगे यह भी तुमको अभी पता पड़ा है । कल्प-कल्प, कल्प के संगमयुग पर आकर सर्व की सद्गति करेंगे । वह तो समझते हैं -अभी 40 हज़ार वर्ष पड़े हैं और पहले से ही कह देते नाम-रूप से न्यारा है । अब नाम-रूप से न्यारी कोई चीज़ थोड़े ही होती है । पत्थर भित्तर का भी नाम है ना । तो बाप कहते हैं-मीठे-मीठे बच्चों, तुम आये हो बेहद के बाप के पास । बाप भी जानते हैं, कितने ढेर बच्चे हैं । बच्चों को अभी हद और बेहद से भी पार जाना है । सब बच्चों को देखते हैं, जानते हैं इन सबको मैं लेने लिए आया हूँ । सतयुग में तो बहुत थोड़े होंगे । कितना क्लीयर है इसलिए चित्रों पर समझाया जाता हैं । नॉलेज तो बिल्कुल इजी है । बाकी याद की यात्रा में टाइम लगता है । ऐसे बाप को तो कभी भूलना नहीं चाहिए । बाप कहते हैं मामेकम याद करो तो पावन बन जायेंगे । मैं आता ही हूँ पतित से पावन बनाने । तुम अकालमूर्त्त आत्मायें सब अपने-अपने तख्त पर विराजमान हो । बाबा ने भी इस तख्त का लोन लिया हैं । इस भाग्यशाली रथ में बाप प्रवेश होते हैं । कोई कहते हैं परमात्मा का नाम-रूप नहीं है । यह तो हो ही नहीं सकता । उनको पुकारते हैं, महिमा गाते हैं, तो ज़रूर कोई चीज़ है ना । तमोप्रधान होने कारण कुछ भी समझते नहीं । आप समझते हैं-मीठे-मीठे बच्चों, इतनी 84 लाख योनियां तो कोई होती नहीं । हैं ही 84 जन्म । पुनर्जन्म भी सबका होगा । ऐसे थोड़े ही ब्रह्म में जाकर लीन होंगे वा मोक्ष को पायेंगे । यह तो बना-बनाया ड्रामा हैं । एक भी कम-जास्ती नहीं हो सकता । इस अनादि अविनाशी ड्रामा से ही फिर छोटे-छोटे ड्रामा वा नाटक बनाते हैं । वह हैं विनाशी । अभी तुम बच्चे बेहद में खड़े हो । तुम बच्चों को यह नॉलेज मिली हुई है-हमने कैसे 84 जन्म लिए हैं । अभी बाप ने बताया है, आगे किसको पता नहीं था । ऋषि-मुनि भी कहते थे-हम नहीं जानते हैं । बाप आते ही हैं संगमयुग पर, इस पुरानी दुनिया को चेंज करने । ब्रह्मा द्वारा नई दुनिया की स्थापना फिर से करते हैं । वह तो लाखों वर्ष कह देते हैं । कोई बात याद भी न आ सके । महाप्रलय भी कोई होती नहीं । बाप राजयोग सिखलाते हैं फिर राजाई तुम पाते हो । इसमें तो संशय की कोई बात ही नहीं । तुम बच्चे जानते हो पहले नम्बर में सबसे प्यारा है बाप फिर नेक्स्ट प्यारा है श्रीकृष्ण । तुम जानते हो श्रीकृष्ण है स्वर्ग का पहला प्रिन्स, नम्बरवन । वही फिर 84 जन्म लेते हैं । उसके ही अन्तिम जन्म में मैं प्रवेश करता हूँ । अब तुमको पतित से पावन बनना है । पतित-पावन बाप ही है, पानी की नदियां थोड़े ही पावन कर सकती हैं । यह नदियां तो सतयुग में भी होती हैं । वहाँ तो पानी बहुत शुद्ध रहता है । किचड़ा आदि कुछ नहीं रहता । यहाँ तो कितना किचड़ा पड़ता रहता है । बाबा का देखा हुआ है, उस समय तो ज्ञान नहीं था । अभी वंडर लगता है पानी कैसे पावन बना सकता है ।
तो बाप समझाते हैं - मीठे बच्चे, कभी भी मूँझो नहीं कि बाप को याद कैसे करें । अरे, तुम बाप को याद नहीं कर सकते हो । वह हैं कुख की सन्तान, तुम हो एडाप्टेड बच्चे । एडाप्टेड बच्चों को जिस बाप से मिलकियत मिलती है, उनको भूल सकते हैं क्या? बेहद के बाप से बेहद की मिलकियत मिलती है तो उनको भूलना थोड़े ही चाहिए । लौकिक बच्चे बाप को भूलते हैं क्या । परन्तु यहाँ माया का आपोजीशन होता है । माया की युद्ध चलती है, सारी दुनिया कर्मक्षेत्र है । आत्मा इस शरीर में प्रवेश कर यहाँ कर्म करती है । बाप कर्म- अकर्म-विकर्म का राज समझाते हैं । यहाँ रावण राज्य में कर्म विकर्म बन जाते हैं । वहाँ रावण राज्य ही नहीं तो कर्म अकर्म हो जाते हैं, विकर्म कोई होता ही नहीं । यह तो बहुत सहज बात है । यहाँ रावण राज्य में कर्म विकर्म होते हैं इसलिए विकर्मों का दण्ड भोगना पड़ता है । ऐसे थोड़े ही कहेंगे रावण अनादि है । नहीं, आधाकल्प है रावण राज्य, आधाकल्प है राम राज्य । तुम जब देवता थे तो तुम्हारे कर्म अकर्म होते थे । अब यह है नॉलेज । बच्चे बने हो तो फिर पढ़ाई भी पढ़नी है । बस, फिर और कोई धन्धे आदि का ख्याल भी नहीं आना चाहिए । परन्तु गृहस्थ व्यवहार में रहते धन्धा आदि भी करने वाले हैं तो बाप कहते हैं कमल फूल समान रहो । ऐसे देवता तुम बनने वाले हो । वह निशानी विष्णु को दे दी है क्योंकि तुमको शोभेगा नहीं । उनको शोभता है । वही विष्णु के दो रूप लक्ष्मी-नारायण बनने वाले हैं । वह है ही अहिंसा परमो देवी-देवता धर्म । न कोई विकार की काम कटारी होती, न कोई लड़ाई-झगड़ा आदि होता है । तुम डबल अहिंसक बनते हो । सतयुग के मालिक थे । नाम ही है गोल्डन एज । कंचन दुनिया । आत्मा और काया दोनों कंचन बन जाती है । कंचन काया कौन बनाते हैं? बाप । अभी तो आइरन एज है ना । अब तुम कहते हो सतयुग पास हो गया है । कल सतयुग था ना । तुम राज्य करते थे । तुम नॉलेजफुल बनते जाते हो । सब तो एक जैसे नहीं बनेंगे । अच्छा!
मीठे-मीठे सिकीलधे बच्चों प्रति मात-पिता बापदादा का याद-प्यार और गुडमोर्निंग। रूहानी बाप की रूहानी बच्चों को नमस्ते ।


 

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 29, 2014: Self-Limiting Beliefs

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 29, 2014: Self-Limiting Beliefs



The Tibetan Bridge in Claviere, Piedmont, Italy

Self-Limiting Beliefs

How often do you hear yourself say, "I can't", "I'm not able" or
"I never will"? Can you identify self-limiting beliefs you have about yourself?

Can you then challenge them and say: "I can", "I'm able", "I will"? Choose self beliefs that work for you, beliefs that give you a chance to succeed.

Innate Nature

When something negative happens that negativity tends to colour the
surroundings too. We tend to react negatively to that situation. We
forget to use our virtues and react with some negative trait. So the
impact is obviously negative too. To recognize the truth is to bring
about beauty in each and every word and action. To recognize truth is
to appreciate our true innate nature. When we are able to be aware of
and use our innate nature, we are able to maintain sweetness, however
difficult or challenging the situation might be.




Performing A Spiritual Audit At The End Of The Day




Our normal day at the office or/and at home is filled with lots of actions and interactions. On a normal day, without realizing consciously, we create almost 30,000-40,000 thoughts. So, not only are we active physically but extremely active on a subtle or non-physical level also. Imagine sleeping with all this burden of thoughts, words and actions which have been created throughout the day, many of which have been waste and negative in nature. What would be the resulting quality of my sleep? So it is extremely important to perform a spiritual/emotional audit or evaluation at the end of each day.

In a lot of professional sectors of life today, people recognize the need for reflection and audit, not only of financial records but also a general evaluation of the respective sector, to maintain and improve both the service to customers and the job satisfaction of people working in the sector. Checking my own behavior, as a daily exercise; not just checking, but also bringing about respective changes for the next day, enables me to continue to develop and grow, as a human being and in the quality of my work and personal and professional relationships. Have gone through the self-evaluation, it is also advised to become completely light by submitting the mistakes made and heaviness accumulated in the day to the Supreme Being. Doing this helps me put a full-stop to the same and settle all my spiritual accounts at the end of the day. I need to put an end to all commas (when looking at scenes that caused me to slow down and reduced the speed of my progress), question marks (when looking at scenes which caused a why, what, how, when, etc.... in my consciousness) and exclamation marks (when looking at negative or waste scenes, which were unexpected and surprising) which were created in the day's activities. Along with remembering what all good happened during the day, what did I achieve and what good actions did I perform, there is lots to forget at the end of the day, which should not be carried into my sleep at any cost. Disturbed, thought-filled, unsound sleep, will result in a not so fresh body and mind the next morning, which will cause my mood to be disturbed, adversely affecting the following day.

(To be continued tomorrow...)

Repairing the Engine of Your Consciousness

You can spend your life driving a car and never know what's wrong when it breaks down. You are then completely at the mercy of others to repair it. At that moment you probably think to yourself, "God, I wish I knew how this thing works..." Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, God cannot help with car mechanics!

It's almost the same with your inner self. The presence of any stress, or any form of mental/emotional pain, is a signal that something has broken down inside the engine of your consciousness. If at that moment you don't know who you are, and how you work, how will you repair things in the inner self when they break down? We are not talking about the body here. If you have something seriously wrong with your body you obviously need to see a doctor. But even then, if you are a little enlightened spiritually, you know that the original cause of your physical disease lies within your consciousness, your state of mind, your feelings and emotions, which, in turn, lies in your beliefs, most of which lie deep down in your subconscious. So, if repairs are to be carried inside your consciousness (to keep the mind and body functioning smoothly) you need to know certain things - essential things - about your spirit, mind and heart. That's what spiritual knowledge is all about. Spiritual knowledge is the complete knowledge of the spirit (or soul) and how it works. Fortunately, the Supreme Spirit (or God) can help us with this knowledge that he alone possesses!

Message for the day


The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all.

Projection: When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others. Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible, enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible.

Solution: When I am able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, I am able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress. I then find that others naturally appreciate my selfless contribution and their good wishes help me feel light and experience progress.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
