Daily Positive Thoughts: March 04, 2017: Radiate Happiness



Radiate Happiness

Have you ever noticed that happiness is not a dependency, it is a decision? You don't actually need anything to be happy. It's not something that comes from outside, it comes from inside, and when you radiate a happy energy you'll be amazed what it attracts into your life. Don't worry, be happy...sound familiar? Decide now, be happy, and watch magic begin to enter your life.


The Role Play Of Thoughts In Relationships (Part 1)

Relationships can be defined on the surface as a state in which two or more people are connected, the state of being related or interrelated or if the definition is expanded, the way in which two people, talk to, regard and behave towards each other, and deal with each other. Spirituality sees relationships from a deeper perspective – relationships are not only what we do or say to each other, but are built on the basis of what we think about each other. So relationships, when seen from a spiritual view point, are an exchange of energy at the level of thoughts and feelings, and then words and actions thereafter.

Relationships are one of the most important wealth of our lives and one of the most important sources of our happiness. In order to make them successful i.e. to create the wealth of positive relationships and to experience joy through them continuously, it is important to base them on the right belief systems. One major incorrect belief that we carry inside ourselves with regards to our relationships is that relationships are all about behaving and talking in the right manner, because we think people see, know and judge only what we speak and do, they do not sense what we think, and so we don’t give enough significance to our thoughts. But thoughts are more in number and being a more powerful and subtle energy, travel faster than words. When we interact with someone let us take care that along with the right action our thoughts are also right. If we have negative thoughts containing any type of impurity of hatred, greed, jealousy, resentment, selfishness, ego, etc. and we perform pure actions filled with the energy of virtues, neither will we be internally content nor will we be able to satisfy the other person. In all our relationships, it is the intention, the packets of thought energy or vibrations that we transmit, which matter more than the action. Giving significance to the inner intentions while coming into relationships is true transparency in relationships. Performing right actions packaged with thoughts which are coloured with negative emotions, will only transmit pain to the other on a subtle level, even though we did it for their happiness.

We shall further highlight the significance of thought vibrations in relationships using four examples in the next two days’ messages.


Be an observer.
Often we're either on autopilot & don't feel as much, or we're too absorbed with what's happening in our life. 

So pay attention to being fully engaged with life, without becoming too absorbed. How? Be an observer.

You can observe something random in the world around you, the shapes of the clouds or a friend's smile. Or observe your response to strangers or your reaction when you look in the mirror.

Capture your observations in a scrapbook, digitally or in your mind.

Observe & very soon, you'll be seeing, feeling & experiencing more!



Message for the day


Words that do not give courage are waste. 

Expression:  When someone is facing a problem, if the words are not those that give courage to the one facing the problem, then such words are wasted. There would be no use of speaking such words. In fact, to speak such words is to discourage the other person further. So when attention is paid to speak only those words that are for the benefit of all there is a positive and a powerful impact on others.


Experience: Even when I keep attention on a simple thing like speaking only positive words, or words that bring benefit to others, I find myself having only powerful thoughts and words. I am neither discouraged by others' behaviour nor will I ever discourage others. I continue to have faith in others and allow this faith to colour my words and actions. So I find that there is benefit in whatever I speak.

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 03, 2017: Choose Feelings

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 03, 2017: Choose Feelings

Artist: Francene Hart
Choose Feelings
If your days seem filled with unwanted negative feelings, there is only one cure. When they come, choose them. Don't ask why, don't wonder how, don't fight them and never put yourself down for having them. But most of all never blame someone else for how you feel. If you do, it means you are still fast asleep and your choice is to be a victim. When the feelings come, even big disturbing emotional feelings say, "I choose this feeling" and know it comes because of something you have thought or done in the past, perhaps a certain belief that you have learned or an attachment that is threatened. Choice does not mean you want the feelings, but it does mean you are taking responsibility for them. And that is the beginning of self-mastery. It is the first step to the healing and resolving of your emotions. But only the first step. Try this today and then ask yourself what the next step might be. If you are really interested to know, you will come to know!

Analyzing Success And Failure (Part 2)

For many, society has conditioned us to look for success through the path of our career, achievements, profits, praise, financial wealth etc. That way, we have learned a narrow view of success. Running in search of this kind of success and pursuing it, we come to exhaust ourselves, get burnt out and depressed. In order to achieve these successes we have stopped caring for the inner being (the soul) and relationships. That has meant and means stress, pain, anxiety, family break ups, personal and relational disintegrations, the destruction of the environment and planetary and climatic imbalances. As a consequence, we feel empty. Although we achieve the applause, the income and other successes, the soul is malnourished and has the sensation that it is lacking something. Reaching fame, financial wealth, the power of a visible position, and reaching it with a broken soul, broken up family and a sick body, causes depression which explains why, in our recent history, famous people have ended up committing suicide.

If we want to redirect our personal and collective lives toward true wellbeing and wholeness, we have to re-evaluate and redefine our beliefs and factors that lead to success and failure. Before asking yourself what success and failure mean for you, it is important to be clear what context you want success in. Depending on the context, the dimension and the meaning of success and failure will be different. For example, in the work context, a failure will be different to that in the family context. In the personal context or in life in general, the way of perceiving success or failure varies.




Listen with your heart & your head!

If you listen with your heart, you're able to catch not just the facts but also the feeling behind the words. 

Listen with your head and you're aware of what to listen to, who to listen to and how to digest what you hear.

Open your ears and be an avid listener; listen with your heart as well as your head!



Message for the day

To be fully responsible is to inspire responsibility in others. 


Expression: When there is true responsibility, there will be freedom given to others too to be responsible. Ones ideas are not forced on to others but there is full freedom for others to make their own choice. Support and guidance of course are given and people are able to become independent and responsible. 


Experience: When I have learnt to take up the responsibility of my own life, I am able to become self-sufficient and independent and also constantly be available for those around me to become independent and responsible too. There are enough resources in me for those around to take benefit from.

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 02, 2017: Be Content

Be Content
Wherever I am is wherever I am meant to be, whatever I am doing is whatever I am meant to be doing and whatever everyone else is doing is exactly what they are meant to be doing - this is contentment. If you do want to change where you are, or what you are doing, the first thing is to be content with wherever you are and whatever you are doing right now! Paradoxically that's what attracts opportunities and invitations to be somewhere else! Why? Because you are a living magnet and contentment is one of your most attractive qualities. And the law of attraction says that according to your dominant thoughts so you will attract the people and circumstances into your life. Being content right now attracts the best possible future.


Analyzing Success And Failure (Part 1)

You feel positive and joyful when you realize that you are successful. However, when failure comes to you, you feel defeated. The definition of success and failure varies from one person to another and according to the stage of life that you are in. It is important to have success and failure well defined for yourself, because, based on your definition, you feel greater or lesser inner wellbeing, happiness and wholeness. There are also different levels of success and of failure. For example, for some the greatest success is to be happy and radiant, whatever happens inside or outside. If one manages to keep happy in the face of failure, for them it is a success. Because to be happy means that I am connected with my essential worth or inner self, my being is awake and alive. Failure does not reduce my vitality, my contentment levels. The greater or fewer external achievements do not reduce the quality of the inner being or of being happy. The important thing is that you believe your own definition of success and failure. Some ideas can be shared that can act as guidelines, but, in the end, each person has to create their own guidelines, definitions and factors leading to success and failure. Basing ourselves on these guidelines and beliefs, we evaluate our successes and failures.  You can reflect on what true success and failure mean for you and, according to those meanings, centre your attention on the values and efforts that lead you to achieve your objectives.

(To be continued tomorrow …)


Generosity brings success. 

I have a lot of treasures-treasures of virtues, powers, knowledge etc., which I usually don't put into use. When they are out of use for a long time, they get wasted away and are not available to me at the right time. The more generously I use the treasures that I have with me for the benefit of others and myself too, the more these treasures are available for me at the right time. Also, for being generous with my treasures I find myself moving easily towards success with the blessings that I get in return.


Message for the day

The one who is the master is the one who creates positive thoughts under all circumstances. 

Expression:  The one who is the master of himself is always able to create the right kind of thoughts according to the circumstance. Never is there the dependency on situations or people for the right kind of responses. Since there is mastery over thoughts, there is also mastery over all words spoken and everything done.

Experience: When I am able to be a master of myself, I am able to constantly create positive thoughts. I am in touch with the inner resources and I am able to make use of these resources in a timely way. I never get confused or pressurized with outside situations, but am able to be in control in all situations.

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 01, 2017: Smile and Say "Hello"

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 01, 2017: Smile and Say "Hello" 

 

Smile and Say "Hello"


In life you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello".



Hearing The Voice Of Inner Wisdom Clearly

In a way we already know all that we need to know and all that is required to bring about transformation in the self – after all originally, we were a perfect being, and the experience of that stage as well as the knowledge of the path to reach back to that original, perfect stage is embedded inside us. Then why take up spirituality? Why can't we just listen to our intuition – the voice of inner wisdom? Listening to our intuition would be great but unfortunately most of us are not able to hear the voice of our own inner wisdom, which lies submerged in the sub-conscious because the noise of our thoughts, feelings and attitudes drowns the voice out.   We have been gathering, slowly and steadily, thousands of beliefs since we have been a part of the cycle of birth and rebirth and these beliefs, in turn, create a flood of incorrect and unwanted thoughts and feelings, today, which distort the true inner voice so that when we think our intuition is telling us something that is true, it is really a wrong belief that we learned sometime in the past.


Over a period of time, as the soul gets purified through the practice of meditation and as it starts listening to and understanding true spiritual knowledge, false beliefs based on body consciousness get displaced by true ones based on spiritual consciousness and this inner voice starts speaking absolutely clearly and accurately without any wrong judgments or distortion. That is why, in the beginning, when we are still learning to connect with God, it is extremely important, to have the guidance of someone more experienced when learning meditation, who can guide us with his/her wisdom and experience, so that we can differentiate between what is actually our intuition and our own belief influenced viewpoint.



Faith brings determination. 

When we are trying for something we find ourselves losing hope and giving up. Although we feel that we are trying till the end, it is usually not so. Sometimes we find ourselves giving up just before we could have succeeded. Determination to succeed comes with faith - faith in myself and the faith that things will work out fine. This faith doesn't let me give up mid-way but gives me determination that makes me put in efforts till I achieve success.


Message for the day


To understand the power of positivity is to finish negativity. 


Expression: All it takes to finish darkness is a little light. What is real is light and what needs to go away is darkness. In the same way, negativity is nothing but a lack of positivity. The one who is able to use positivity in situations, is able to finish negativity very naturally. There is a very powerful influence of this inner positivity, where no negativity of the self or the others remain. 

Experience: When I am able to enable myself to use the power of positivity, I experience myself to be free from the influence of negativity. I am powerful in all situations, and deal with them with great ease. Others or situations don't have an influence on me. Instead I am able to influence others with my own commitment to positivity.

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

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

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

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

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

28/02/17 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban 2/3

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

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

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

Essence for dharna: 1. Become a lighthouse. Let the land of peace be in one eye and the land of happiness in the other eye. Don't see this land of sorrow while seeing it. 2. Become full of knowledge, the same as the Father, and make full effort to claim unlimited happiness. Give others the knowledge that you have received.

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

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

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

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

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





Don’t Give Sorrow, Don’t Take Sorrow!

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

The Search For Happiness And A Beautiful Relationship

Throughout history, human beings have desired and searched for two things, happiness and a perfect loveful and beautiful relationship.   It is interesting to realize that you cannot search for what, you have not already had or known. In other words, we search for these two things because inside us we have a deep subconscious memory of the original, perfect and eternal relationship with our Friend, Guide and Parent, the One remembered as God, Allah, Ishwar, etc.   It is only when we restore our relationship with this Being is that we can experience true happiness or bliss.   Bliss is the highest form of spiritual happiness we can experience.  It is experienced only when we are free of all attachment, when we no longer identify wrongly with anything physical and when our inner mental state is not dependent on anything or anyone.
At its highest level and in its purest state, our relationship with God is non-dependent and unconditional, and therefore blissful.   Deep within the soul, there is a memory of the bliss of this perfect union and it is this memory that inspires us to search for the perfect relationship, for the perfect happiness.   However, instead of seeking it at the spiritual level, we seek at the level of personality and body.   We search in those around us for the perfect partner - our soul mate. It is not incorrect to have worldly relationships, but there needs to be a deep realization inside each one of us that our true soul mate, is the One with whom we can have an ever-lasting, eternal relationship, the One with whom we have the deepest eternal bond (over a period of many births), the One from whom we will experience everlasting, eternal, unconditional attainments.



What happens when your anger button gets pushed?

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

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

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


Message for the day

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

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

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

In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
