Daily Positive Thoughts: March 02, 2015: Tranquil Mind

Tranquil Mind

You are a gentle soul who can speak to what is in the heart of others without saying a word.

Correction from Criticism

When there is criticism that comes one's way, there is a tendency to
ignore or to defend oneself. Naturally we then lose the power to
listen. We then find that we are not able to correct our mistakes and
so they repeat. We thus find that we are not able to experience
progress. We need to carefully analyze to see if there is any truth in
any criticism that comes our way. If there is, correction can be made
accordingly. When we listen to others with honesty, we are able to
discover even the most negligible aspect in our behaviour which we can
change. So we find ourselves constantly improving and progressing and
moving on towards success. So having brought about a change, even the
criticism that comes our way stops.

Creating Positive Habits

Some habits do not upset us, but others can cause irritation, frustration and desperation. We want to rid ourselves of them: but how? When we look at the creation and fulfillment of thoughts, it looks like a closed system: the thoughts lead to actions, the actions create a series of impressions (sanskars), and these impressions are responsible for similar thoughts, which lead us to similar actions, this is a vicious cycle. If we want to change a habit, then where do we start? In other words, where do we change the system or how do we get out of the cycle? First of all, we can try changing our negative actions: for example, stop a mental negative habit like anger or a physical one like drinking. In many cases, although we change our behaviour, but because we have not understood deeply why we wanted to do it, is quite possible that one day we will go back to this old habit.

We can try changing this system in our subconscious. By analysing what is recorded in our subconscious, through different therapies, the results are not altogether satisfactory. There is always some traumatic event, or painful experience behind a fear which causes us to cling on to a negative habit. And although we can see and recognize our fears and anxieties, if we do not replace them with something better, with a more beneficial and healthier alternative, very often we will feel tempted to cling on to these old systems, even though they do not work and they make us unhappy. To eliminate certain things we have recorded in our subconscious, meditation and silence are the most effect non-violent methods.

Another method is to try and change our beliefs with positive affirmations (thoughts) that strengthen our willpower, and thus introduce a new habit to replace the old one. It is vital not to repeat this affirmation mechanically, but to introduce it into the system of beliefs we hold, and act as if we already were what we express in this affirmation.

Soul Sustenance

Self Confidence

Self-confidence is very much linked to the understanding that I definitely have something to contribute to life through my own uniqueness. Each one of us is unique. That goes without saying. Unless a person has a sense of contributing, or offering, something to life, they cannot really be happy. I cannot be happy and confident when I am just taking; it simply doesn't work. I can only be happy when I am sharing and offering the best of myself. In that way, I don't feel depleted. When I offer the best of myself in an unselfish way, my happiness and confidence increases - the more I give, the more I receive. We start to understand that the well-being of individuals begins when they can contribute what they are, and what they have, to others. To be a truly self confident human being means to have true spiritual powers, like love, peace and happiness, which are brought into daily life - not just appearing as words or emotions, but truly displaying themselves in our behavior and bringing benefit to others.

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.

Synopsis: February 05, 1979

“BapDada’s heart-to-heart conversation (ruh rihaan) with the Madhuban residents.”

The Father comes as the Server & His form is that of the World Servant

Become Perfect:

The Father is perfect, and so His children have to become equal to their Father. Therefore, there should be no defects.

1. Souls who are absorbed in love don’t need to make effort to stay in remembrance but are naturally yogi. They see nothing but the Father and service. A soul who is lost in love would be absorbed in all the attainments he has received and remain busy in enabling other souls to receive the same attainments. Therefore, such souls would always be conquerors of Maya.

2. When you make your stage powerful, that is, when you become an embodiment of all the attainments you have experienced, you will become an embodiment of success.

3. Only when you have become an embodiment of all attainments will you be able to become someone who fulfils the desires of others.

4. Only when you are fully stocked with all powers will you be able to make everyone content and become an embodiment of success.

5. In order to serve through your mind, you must constantly practice maintaining stability and concentration. Only when all your wastage has finished will you be able to serve through your mind.

6. You are sevadharis serving with both your bodies and your minds. By doing both types of service at the same time, you will receive double the attainment. Double servers become doubly crowned. Increase this practice so much that it becomes your natural and constant practice. When you serve simultaneously with your body and your mind, others will experience you to be an alokik Shakti.

The means of revealing the Father:

The Father is the backbone and is playing His part in an incognito way. People recognize those who are speaking, but, as yet, the One who has made your lives worthwhile is still incognito. Therefore, you have to reveal the Father. Just as the Father is the World Servant, so all of you are also world servants.

1. You have to be an embodiment of love and attainment. Become merged in the Father’s love and an embodiment of all attainments. Be an embodiment of love and one who has attained everything.

2. When you speak, the Father’s praise should come from the authority within you; the sound should come from deep within your heart.

3. The Godly bomb means that whatever is merged within you is visible to everyone. This Godly bomb is a bomb of love, a bomb of forging a relationship, a bomb of singing praise from your heart. The fire of being lost in love for Baba should shake everyone. Everyone’s intellect should be shaken as to the One whose praise this is. They should realise with which authority you are speaking, what message you are giving and whose message you are giving.

4. Your words should be sweet but, at the same time, let there be authority within the self. Your words should be filled with feelings of mercy. You should continue to be singing the Father’s praise and making everything clear for them, but, whilst you are doing that, you should also be forging them into a relationship with the Father.

5. Your form should be in accordance with your words. You and your words should be very clear, loving, humble, and sweet and filled with greatness and truth. You should be very humble. It is by having this form that you will reveal the Father.

6. You should be fearless, but the words you speak should be disciplined and within the code of conduct. The two should be balanced. Show them this wonder of the balance of your authority and humility.

7. Whilst relating points of knowledge, draw their attention to the Father, repeatedly, pouring the water of love on to the stone. Only then will you melt that stone.

8. As much as possible, there should be an impact of silence. Everything must be very spiritual, simple and clean. Everything must be filled with the vibrations of spirituality and purity.

9. Even the Brahmin souls who are listening and co-operating should have the thought of creating the right atmosphere. As soon as people enter, they will feel your gathering to be spiritual.

Bringing about the golden age:

1. A sneh-milan (gathering of love) means to co-operate by having the determination to transform oneself and to transform everyone else. A sneh-milan means a meeting of sanskars in a practical way. When everyone’s sanskars become the same as the Father’s, when everyone has the same sanskars, the world of one kingdom and religion will arrive.

2. Your unity here will become the basis of bringing about the world of one kingdom and one religion. A sneh-milan means to end all complaints and to leave here having become complete. All your complaints end and you become very enthusiastic.

3. Religious and political leaders should at least accept that your methods and your transformation are very good. When religious leaders experience this, they will give their co-operation. Even if someone is an atheist, you definitely must still make contact with him. All types of seeds are needed to make the new world. Only then will you be able to become world benefactors.

“मधुवन निवासियों के साथ बाप-दादा की रूहरिहान”

वरदान:- ब्रह्म-महूर्त के समय वरदान लेने और दान देने वाले बाप समान वरदानी, महादानी भव !

ब्रहम महूर्त के समय विशेष ब्रह्मलोक निवासी बाप ज्ञान सूर्य की लाईट और माइट की किरणें बच्चों को वरदान रूप में देते हैं । साथ-साथ ब्रह्मा बाप भाग्य विधाता के रूप में भाग्य रूपी अमृत बाँटते हैं सिर्फ बुद्धि रूपी कलष अमृत धारण करने योग्य हो । किसी भी प्रकार का विघ्न या रूकावट न हो, तो सारे दिन के लिए श्रेष्ठ स्थिति वा कर्म का महूर्त निकाल सकते हो क्योंकि अमृतवेले का वातावरण ही वृत्ति को बदलने वाला होता है इसलिए उस समय वरदान लेते हुए दान दो अर्थात् वरदानी और महादानी बनो ।

स्लोगन:- क्रोधी का काम है क्रोध करना और आपका काम है स्नेह देना ।

Revised from February 05, 1979

“BapDada’s heart-to-heart conversation (ruh rihaan) with the Madhuban residents.”

Blessing: May you be an image and a great donor who grants blessings, (mahaadaani, vardaani) the same as the Father, and claim blessings and give donations at the time of brahm-muhurat.

At the time of brahm-muhurat, the Father who is the Resident of brahm-lok especially gives children as a blessing the rays of light and might of the Sun of Knowledge. Together with this, Father Brahma as Bestower of Fortune distributes the nectar of fortune. Simply let the urn of your intellect be worthy of holding the nectar. Let there not be any type of obstacle or obstruction. You will then be able to start the day with an auspicious beginning for an elevated stage and actions, because the atmosphere at amrit vela can change the attitude. This is why, while claiming blessings at that time, you must also donate them. That is, be an image that grants blessings and a great donor too.

Slogan: It is the duty of an angry person (krodhi) to get angry, whereas your duty is to give love (sneh).

Daily Positive Thoughts: March 01, 2015: Responsibility

“The Wizard of Oz”: Dorothy, Toto the dog, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Lion on the yellow brick road to Emerald City

Responsibility

The world is a stage and we are all actors. Each actor plays a unique part and is responsible for his/her own actions. Responsibility means doing the right thing no matter how big or small the task may be. Each one of us has a special role to play in the making the world a better place.

Being Yourself

How fast can life become? How much can we do in the corporeal amount
of time we have? There are only 24 hours in the day, but we're trying
to fit 26 hours into it. If we could watch a movie of our average day
we'd probably be amazed at all the things we try to do. And then there
is the exact opposite. Some of us spend our lives watching others
doing and achieving, and from these images we build such high
expectations of our own life, and then sit around feeling utterly
powerless in our attempts to meet these expectations. That
powerlessness becomes hopelessness and hopelessness becomes
depression. If we can just see this process and release these
expectations, if we can at least be detached from any expectations, we
will get back some of our inner power and self motivation. It helps to
stop watching others and their lifestyles, especially in the media,
and then comparing yourself to them. It helps to eliminate all but one
'I wish' from your mind. There is only one valid and useful 'I wish'
and it is simply "I wish to be me". For, that is all you can ever be.
It is all you can ever have. It is all that you are. And when you know
it, you will be free of all expectation and desire, and able to enter
the most relaxed state of being, at will.

Going Beyond

If the quality of my thoughts can influence my physical health, the atmosphere around me and my relationships, it will definitely affect my relationship with God. Unlike physics in which dissimilar forces (positive and negative) attract each other, the basic principle of spirituality is that similar forces attract each other. If my mind is caught up in cycles of negativity, the dissimilarity between me and God will create distance between me and Him. With the awareness of being a soul, a being of spiritual energy, spiritual light, I begin to have a certain amount of mastery over my own thoughts and their quality. Also, the process of finishing negativity is accelerated. Just stepping away from the limited consciousness of the body and bodily connections (not leaving them) stops negative thinking in the same way as by just putting a switch on, a light is turned on and darkness finishes.

If explorers had never ventured beyond their home countries, they would have remained firm in the belief that the rest of the world simply didn't exist. In the same way, if I allow myself to stay only within the physical and limited sphere of thinking, then I would declare that there is nothing beyond. It is when I make the effort to go outside the boundaries of my previous thinking, that I have the chance of discovering more. The quest for a source of love, truth and beauty - the Supreme eventually brings me to the necessity of looking beyond not only my own body, but also other human beings and matter itself. Through the practice of seeing the self as an eternal soul and disciplining my mind I create the possibility of discovering the existence and nature of God and having a deep relationship with that One.

Soul Sustenance

Discovering Inner Compassion (Kindness) –Part 3

When we try to describe compassion, it is worth looking at the words sympathy, empathy and interpathy.

Showing sympathy towards another person's suffering is acknowledging their suffering, for example, 'I am sorry that you have hurt yourself'. We recognize that they are injured or ill without really engaging at a feeling level.

Empathy is when we literally share a feeling with someone, we walk in their shoes, for example, 'I feel really upset that you are so depressed about losing your job'. This can bring great comfort to the person we are empathizing with, but the comfort to them can be at our expense and leave us feeling emotionally drained or sad. If we identify too closely with them, it can also make it difficult for us to help them.

An expansion of empathy is a word called interpathy where we relate to another's suffering although we may not understand why they are suffering. This may be because they are from a different culture or because their feelings may seem inappropriate given the situation, but we are curious, we try to understand.

Compassion is all these words — sympathy, empathy, interpathy - yet it is more and it is less. We acknowledge someone’s sorrow, we sense how they feel, we try to understand how it affects them, yet with compassion we do not become emotionally involved. We are engaged yet detached. We are standing back and looking on with kindness. By showing compassion in this way, it allows us to be compassionate without suffering from compassion fatigue or emotional burnout.

Message for the day

To change means to experience progress.

Expression: Whenever there is a desire to bring about a change, there is also a simultaneous intense feeling to find a change instantly - and fully. Yet this does not always happen. However, true change is that in which there is at least a little change. When there is constant effort put in to be better and to do better, then naturally the best results are visible, even if there is not perfection seen overnight.

Experience: When I bring about a change constantly, in whatever little way I can, I am able to experience constant progress. I do not have great expectations, but will be satisfied with the little changes that I make and will have the confidence to go on putting in effort. Even with the little results that I attain I will be able to take encouragement constantly. I am thus able to move on towards perfection.
