Daily Positive Thoughts: September 10, 2014: Get Past Your Past

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 10, 2014: Get Past Your Past
★***************★~**★**~★*************★
Artist Shiloh Sophia
-----------------------------
★ Get Past Your Past
--------------------------
Let the past be the past - both my past and the past of others.
There's no need to keep repeating the past in my head.
Think: Whatever happened, happened, it's OK for me to move on. Let me be supportive and make it easy, not difficult - for myself and others.
When I stay in the present, everything is pleasant.

★ Helping Others
---------------------
We usually want to do a lot to help others or serve them in some way or
the other, but sometimes we find that we don't find the right
opportunity. At other times even we do find such opportunities we
don't real find that they are according to our desire. We need to
keep the thought in our mind constantly to be of help to others. Then
we will not just wait for bigger situations or things to provide help
to others. Instead we will be able to extend our help to others in
little ways. Even such help provided in little ways will get us the
opportunity to serve in bigger ways.

★ Are You Directing Your Inner Orchestra Well?
----------------------------------
Our inner orchestra is made up of different music instruments - the different instruments are: our memories, desires, tendencies, mind, beliefs, emotions, feelings, fears, intuition, judgements, creativity, our imagination...

When you direct your inner orchestra well, you can remain unaffected by external influences without succumbing to them. When the orchestra directs you, you dance from one side to another without a clear direction and with a music that is not very harmonious or sweet; it is noisy and you suffer. Who is the director of this orchestra? You. Who are you? You - the consciousness, you - the soul, you - the being. When your consciousness is in charge, you make the orchestra play according to the inner voice of your being, according to your purest intentions and values. You can. You simply have to be awake, alert and attentive. If the director of the orchestra closes his eyes for a few moments and covers up his ears, what happens to the orchestra? You have to keep the eyes of your inner spiritual vision open; what is called the third eye. And listen with your heart, not with your physical heart but with the heart of your being. If your orchestra rules over you, and you - the director - are stiff, without flexibility, asleep, un-sympathetic, you will not be able to achieve your dreams or arrive at the destiny that you would like to reach. And, to make things worse, when your orchestra dominates you, you are more vulnerable to being dominated by the orchestra of others. Or you will allow someone else to direct your inner orchestra. This is the ideal road on which to get trapped and suffer. Is this what you want?

Taking Responsibility, Overcoming Guilt (cont.)

There is a difference between when we have established our own code of values or beliefs in life, and when we feel obliged (forced) to obey an imposed code of beliefs. It is important for us to accept on an inner level the code by which we think we should be guided and act. When we act out of obligation (compulsion), by following a code of beliefs or behaviors that we feel have been imposed but aren't accepted as our own, we should ask ourselves why we act out of obligation (compulsion), basing ourselves on a code we have not accepted. Are we perhaps afraid that, if we don't do it, we will feel guilty?

When we violate the codes of belonging to a group, family, social class or community, generally we feel guilty. If this guilt leads us to question ourselves about what is right for our conscience, we progress in our personal growth and improve our clarity. It is necessary to respect ourselves, being clear about what the beliefs are on which we base our life, think, feel and evaluate. This will help us to avoid the gap between what we should and what we want to do. Until the should and the want are joined, we leave an open space for guilt.

When we act according to how we feel we should, we will feel guilt for not doing what we want. While we act according to what we want, we will feel guilt for not doing what we should.
When guilt warns us that there is something to check and correct within us and we are willing to see it, have a dialogue with the self and clarify, we are on the right path. Sometimes guilt acts as an excuse for us to apologize without really taking on the responsibility for what happened; we pass on the responsibility to the established norms, norms that in this case we haven't accepted as our own. In any case, the solution to guilt is to take on self-responsibility.
----------------------------------
★★ Message for the day ★★
----------------------------------
The one who checks himself constantly is the one who experiences progress.

Projection: The one who keeps checking himself is also able to bring about a change in himself. Such a person takes each situation as a chance to learn something new and bring about some change for the better. So there is constant improvement in his life.

Solution: When something goes wrong, if I learn to check myself and bring about a change immediately, I will be able to experience constant progress. No situation will make me have negative feelings or make me stop, but I will be able to enjoy everything that comes my way.

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 09, 2014: Quality Spotting

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 09, 2014: Quality Spotting
★*****************★*★*★*****************★
★ Quality Spotting
---------------------------
A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialties. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone.

★ A Free Bird
--------------------------
When everything is going on well there is enthusiasm and interest to
move forward. But when even a little thing goes wrong, we lose all
enthusiasm to do anything else. This creates bondage and there is
difficulty or inability to put in effort to move forward. I need to
remind myself that to be enthusiastic in all situations is to be like a
free bird reaching great heights. That means no situation makes me
like a caged bird, which has all the opportunities but does not know or
does not believe in using them. When I am able to experience this inner
freedom at good times and appreciate this joy constantly, I am able to
sustain this even when things go wrong.

★ Meditation Commentary For Good Health
---------------------------------------
Given below is a simple meditation commentary which can be used to heal the physical body. Think slowly and visualize side by side each positive thought given below before moving on:

I sit quietly and turn inwards........
I visualize a pinpoint of light, a sparkling star, the source of pure energy that I am........
located in the center of my forehead........
In this awareness, white rays of the divine light of purity from me extend into my entire physical body in the form of a laser beam........
These vibrations of purity soothe, heal and energize my physical system........
The impurities, toxins and illnesses in the body are being washed away and thrown out from the extremities (corners) of the body........
The body starts experiencing its original inner beauty........
It returns to a state of harmony (peace), to a state of good health......

Taking Responsibility, Overcoming Guilt (cont.)

If there are people or situations that lead you to fall over the same stone i.e. they lead you to make the same mistake, which was committed earlier, again, perhaps you will have to avoid them for a few days or a time, until you have strengthened yourself and have the inner security that they will not influence you. This is not running away; it is wise knowing your weaknesses and knowing that to get into similar situations with the same people is only to repeat the same errors and to worsen your wellbeing and that of the other. Trust in yourself. You can overcome these mistakes and stop making them. It is a question of loving yourself and living. Out of love, you stop hurting yourself and hurting the other.

Crying over past mistakes, you don't mend anything. Open yourself to forgiveness. Raise the level of your thoughts so that they don't keep you in a state of sadness and loss of hope. Don't allow your inner judge to sentence (punish) you each time that you act, since that way you won't feel free. Your judge that you carry within makes your life bitter; however, it is you that gives this judge the capacity to exist. If the inner judge is in harmony with our conscience, it is good, because it wants to protect us. On creating guilt it warns us that we have broken a rule of our code of beliefs, values or behaviors. It alerts us to the fact that we are acting against something important of ourselves. At those moments it helps us to observe and question what is real, true, important and even sacred in our life and for us.

★★ Message for the day ★★
---------------------------------
To stamp every thought with the stamp of determination is to be victorious.
Projection: When there is determination in thoughts, there is naturally the ability to give the best in spite of all the obstacles. Situations will not deter such a person from achieving what he set out to. And so there is naturally constant victory for the one who is always determined.

Solution: When there is determination in my thoughts, I am never afraid, whatever happens. In fact obstacles only serve to strengthen determination. I never give up what I have started. It is determination that enables me to add power to my thoughts and make them practical.

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 08, 2014: Within Me

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 08, 2014: Within Me
★**********************★~★~★*****************★
★ Within Me
-----------------
Even in today's world, beauty and truth can still be found and the first place to start looking is within my own self.

★ Palace of Silence
-------------------------
One who lives in a palace of silence and peace has the power to send
positive vibrations outside, yet prevent the negative vibrations from
outside from reaching inside. If you move yourself into your personal
'Palace of Silence' and create beautiful feelings in your palace, these
will become lovely vibrations which spread outwards. Sound travels
like an echo and comes back. But when you have the power of positivity
or the attitude of silence, it does not work like an echo which comes
back; it travels very far away. It goes to a very subtle place.
Otherwise the atmosphere or upheaval outside affects you very quickly.

★Practical Ways of Changing Old Habits or Beliefs (cont.)
-------------------------------
★ Exercises of Silence
-------------------------
Exercises of silence help you concentrate your mind and intellect, and go within yourself to recover the positive and eternal energies. With the appropriate concentration of the mind and intellect towards your constructive inner forces of peace, love and happiness, you can strengthen yourself. Being strong means staying positive when faced with negative situations, peaceful when everything around you is chaotic: in other words, not being influenced negatively but influencing the situation with your positivity. When you stay calm in your inner power of peace, you can transmit this to others and help them to calm themselves. When you begin exercises of silence, concentrate primarily on peace. This is the basis of the practice, as when there is inner balance and harmony it is easier to build over these the other values love, happiness, truth and sincerity. The experience of deep peace calms you, clarifies you and fills you with energy to think and act positively and achieve your purpose that you have set for yourself.

★★ Soul Sustenance ★★
-------------------------------
Taking Responsibility, Overcoming Guilt

When you free yourself of guilt, you live in peace within. You take on responsibility and stop sentencing (punishing) yourself internally with feelings of guilt. Taking on responsibility is constructive; it allows all your potential to remain awake and flow. You feel free and unburdened. When you get it wrong, you can find different methods to relieve yourself of the burden that it might imply. For example, being sorry for or feeling sad for something that you have done means that you are aware that you have acted against your own wellbeing or that of another. Realizing it is good; it is the base for any positive change. The important thing is not to sentence (punish) yourself. Learn the lesson. Say sorry, if it is the right thing. Put it right.

Remember that yesterday has already passed. The past cannot be changed. You can't swallow the words that you said, since you already said them. You can't repeat the scene from yesterday in a different way because it already happened and stayed recorded on the film of this world drama. Therefore, don't repeat the words or the scene in your mind over and over again; doing that, you keep alive something that is dead, since yesterday already stayed behind. Learn from the error and commit yourself to you and to your life, promising to yourself that you will not fall over the same stone again. You will think about it before speaking or acting.

To be free from wants is to be free from waste.
Projection: The one who is free from wants is the one who is free from expectations. When there are no expectations, there is not too much thought about what is not there or what should be there. Since the mind is free from all these kind of waste thoughts, whatever is done is the best.

Solution: When I am free from wants or desires, I am able to always remain content. I can then appreciate and enjoy everything that comes my way, and do not expect anything both from situations and people. So the mind is free from waste thoughts and questions.

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 07, 2014: Quick, Patience

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 07, 2014: Quick, Patience
★***********************★~★~★***********************★

★ Quick, Patience
--------------------
Instead of rushing around, talking fast, walking fast,
thinking fast .... practice patience.

Patience doesn't make you slow. With patience, you'll be able to do 10 hours of work in 2 hours.

You'll do what's needed, easily and quickly without over doing things or wasting time in things that don't matter. The result: you save both time and energy.

★ Royalty
----------------
If you allow yourself to think negatively and do not think positively
and use your power of silence, it is as though you are trapped in a
jail. One who is in a jail has no freedom and has to do what others
dictate. One who has the power of silence lives in a palace and
experiences royalty. Both the palace of silence and jails have high
walls. But the difference between the two types of walls is that the
jail's walls keep the prisoner trapped inside while the palace walls
keep out anything the palace resident does not want to come in. Living
inside the walls of a palace protects the person inside from the
negativity outside.

★ Practical Ways of Changing Old Habits or Beliefs (cont.)
---------------------------
Visualization

Visualization consists of creating positive images by means of the ability to imagine, and in this way reinforce positive thoughts and strengthen your will to achieve positively what you affirm for yourself in your mind. With visualization you manage to intensify experiences of positive affirmations and self-motivation, and it also helps you to specify and clarify your goals. The basic principle of using images in our mind is to act as if the desire we have in our mind has already been achieved. If we place images of success, health, wellbeing or inner peace in our mind, these will materialize in positive situations and experience, and this image of success will become real in our lives.

Meditation for Experiencing Soul Consciousness
Read over the following words slowly and silently. Using the power of visualization, aim to experience them in your mind:
I withdraw my attention away from the physical limbs and sense organs........
I focus on myself........
I am listening through these ears........
I am looking through these eyes........
This instrument of mine, the physical body, is a precious vehicle........
a valuable instrument, a medium........
But, that which is more valuable and more precious is the being (soul) making this instrument function........
Within this assembly of bones and muscles and amazing organs is a being of light........
In the centre of the forehead is a point of light ……
I am this being of light........
I the being of light express myself through this body........
But the body is not I........
I am light........
I spread rays of peace in all directions........
I become aware of the power within this point of light........
Within I the being of light is everything that I am and everything that I have........
Within my own being are my qualities, my powers, my talents........
In the awareness of who I am I radiate this light within........
and in the awareness of this inner light........
I hold my head held high in self-respect........

★★ Message for the day ★★
--------------------------------
Specialty lies in experiencing one's fortune.

Projection: When there is the awareness of one's fortune, there is specialty seen in every word and action, because of wanting to make the best of everything. There is also the pure desire of sharing with others, which also makes one special.

Solution: When I have the recognition of my own fortune, and am aware of what I have, I find myself content. I have no expectations but continue to make the best use of what I already have, for my benefit and that of others. So I find myself being special and making my own fortune.

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 06, 2014: Detached Observer

Daily Positive Thoughts: September 06, 2014: Detached Observer

Detached Observer

Peace ends when you are emotionally involved in a situation. The practice of being a detached observer helps you stay stable and calm. It is the best way to approach a decision in any circumstance.

Do with love

When we start with something new, we usually achieve success for
sometime, but we do not experience long lasting success. This is
because we only did the task on being told or being forced by the
situation. External force makes us use resources with commitment for
sometime only. Love brings constant success because once we've
experienced the joy of doing the task itself, we'll never give it up.
Because we have love for the task, we'll put in all our resources
and do our best. So we'll experience constant success.

Practical Ways of Changing Old Habits or Beliefs (cont.)

Conscious Disassociation

A useful method for transforming habits is that of conscious disassociation. This involves avoiding the situations that give rise to the habit occurring automatically. For example, if you often smoke after a coffee, you have to make sure there is no coffee. By breaking your habit, you will be less likely to have a craving to smoke. Instead of your habitual coffee, you can create a new pattern and have a cup of herbal tea and sit down to think or read, instead of smoking.

Rajyoga Meditation

Rajyoga meditation is an efficient method for transforming habits. By connecting with the Supreme Soul (who is the purest conscient energy) in the incorporeal (non-physical) world of divine light, which is called paramdhamor shantidham, the soul purifies itself and one experiences a natural disinclination from negative habits that we have been trapped in for a long time. (To be continued tomorrow .....)

Soul Sustenance

Meditation And Health

The soul has seven original positive qualities - peace, joy, love, bliss, wisdom, purity and power. In meditation, we create an awareness of ourselves as a soul, which leads to an experience of these qualities. The non-physical soul is closely connected with each cell of the physical body. These qualities of the soul flow as spiritual energy to each cell and nourish them. The mind acts as a sieve (mesh) between this spiritual energy and the body. When the mind creates negative thoughts, the sieve of the mind gets blocked thereby blocking the flow of this spiritual energy to the cells, which leads to disease in a particular organ. Also, as a result of a negative mind set, the immune system gets damaged which attracts toxins, viruses, bacteria, etc. towards cells of the diseased organ, which contributes to the development and worsening of the disease further. Positive thoughts have the reverse effect i.e. an increase in the flow of spiritual energy to the cells of the body and strengthening of the immune system, both of which have a beneficial effect on the body.

Message for the day

Freedom means accepting the rules of freedom.
Projection: The one who wants freedom naturally accepts the rules that go untold. He is willing to take responsibility for all his decisions and choices. Such a person will never blame others but try to check his own mistakes.

Solution: When I take decisions with freedom and take responsibility for them, I am able to learn from anything that goes wrong. I'll feel light and free yet with a base from where I can work. Thus I find myself experiencing constant progress.

Madhuban Murli LIVE - 11/8/2014 (Monday 7.00am to 8.00am IST)

Essence Of Murli 11-08-2014

Murli August 11, 2014

Essence of MurliAugust 11, 2014:
Essence: Sweet children, stop performing sinful actions vikarm because you now have to begin the era when no sinful actions are performed. vikarmajeet sanvat
Question: In what one aspect should every Brahmin child definitely follow the Father?
Answer: Just as the Father, Himself, becomes the Teacher and teaches you, so, each one of you has to become a teacher, like the Father. You have to teach others whatever you learn. You are teachers, children of the Teacher, and also satgurus, children of the Satguru. You have to establish the land of truth. You are sitting in the boat of truth. Your boat may rock, but it cannot sink. Hilegi, dulegi, dubegi nahi
Essence for dharna:
1. In order to become the most elevated beings at this most auspicious confluence age, make effort to become soul conscious. You have found the true Father and so do not perform any untrue or unrighteous actions.
2. Do not be afraid of the storms of Maya. Always remember that the boat of truth will rock, but it will not sink. Become satguru, children of the Satguru and take everyone's boat across.
Blessing: May you constantly be in the company of truth (satsang) by staying in God's company and remain safe from being attacked by wrong company.
No matter how bad some company may be, your elevated company is many times more powerful than that. That company is nothing in front of God's company. All others are weak. However, when you yourself become weak, you are then attacked by bad company. Those who constantly stay in the company of the one Father, that is, those who constantly have the company of truth cannot be influenced by the colour of any other company. Wasteful matters and wasteful company, that is, bad company, cannot attract them.
The four pillars of Brahmin life are: celibacy brahmcharya, imbibing divine virtues, eating Brahma bhojan and being in the satsang. Jaisa ann vaisa man-as is the food, so is the mind-jaisa sang, vaisa rang- as is the company, so is the color or influence. So, Baba says, remain in the company of truth (satsang) in God's company and your boat will go across- it cannot sink.
Slogan: Only those who transform anything bad into good buraai se achhaai can remain happy.prasannchit

Om shanti. The spiritual Father sits here and has a heart-to-heart conversation with you children. He talks with you spirits because this is new knowledge. This is new knowledge, that is, a study to change from human beings into deities. Who is teaching you this? You children know that it is the spiritual Father who is teaching you children through Brahma. You should not forget this. He is the Father and then He teaches you and so He is also the Teacher. You also know that you are studying for the new world. You should have faith in every aspect. It is only the Father who teaches you for the new world.
The main thing is the Father. The Father is giving these teachings through Brahma. He would give them through someone. It is also remembered: God teaches Raja Yoga through Brahma. He establishes the original eternal deity religion through Brahma. That deity religion doesn't exist now; it is the iron age now. So, this proves that heaven is being established. There are only those of the deity religion in heaven.
There won't be this many religions, that is, destruction will take place, because there are no other religions in the golden age. These things are in the intellects of you children. There are now innumerable religions. The Father is now making you into deities from human beings because it is now the confluence age. This is something very easy to explain.
They too show establishment through Brahma in the picture of the Trimurti. Of what? It would definitely be establishment of the new world; it cannot be establishment of the old world. You children have the faith that only the deities with divine virtues reside in the new world. We also have to imbibe divine virtues while living at home with our families.
First of all, we have to conquer lust and become viceless. Yesterday, we would go in front of the images of those deities and say: You are completely viceless whereas we are vicious. We would feel ourselves to be vicious because we used to indulge in vice. The Father now says: You have to become as viceless as them. You also have to imbibe divine virtues. If you have the vices of lust and anger, you cannot be said to have divine virtues. To indulge in vice and to get angry are devilish traits. Would deities have greed? The five vices do not exist there.
This is the world of Ravan. Ravan takes birth at the confluence of the silver and copper ages. Just as there is the confluence of the old world and the new world, so that too is a confluence of two ages. There is now a lot of sorrow and many illnesses in the kingdom of Ravan. This is called the kingdom of Ravan. They burn Ravan every year. While going on to the path of sin, they become vicious. You now have to become viceless. It is here that you have to imbibe divine virtues. Everyone receives the fruit of their actions. You children should not commit any sin now.
One is the king who is the conqueror of sinful actions (Vikarmajeet) and the other is the king who performs sinful actions (Vikram). This is the era of sinful actions, that is, it is the period of Ravan and the vicious ones vikaari . Neither does anyone understand this, nor does anyone know the duration of the cycle. In fact, deities are conquerors of sinful actions. In 5000 years, there are 2500 years of King Vikram and 2500 years of King Vikarmajeet. Although those people say that half the cycle is of King Vikram, they don't understand anything. You say that the period of King Vikarmajeet begins with the year one, and then, after 2500 years, the period of King Vikram begins. The period of King Vikram is now to end and you are now becoming emperors and empresses who are conquerors of sinful actions. When you have become that, the period of King Vikarmajeet will begin. Only you know these things.
They ask you: Why have you made Brahma sit here? Oh!, but why are you bothered about that? It is not this one who is teaching us. We are studying with Shiv Baba and this one too is studying with that One. The One who is teaching us is the Ocean of Knowledge. He is without an image.vichitr He doesn't have an image,chitr that is, He doesn't have a body. He is called the Incorporeal One. All Incorporeal souls reside there. They then come here and become corporeal. Everyone remembers the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He is the Father of souls. A physical father would not be called the Supreme. This is something to understand.
School students pay attention to their studies. When someone has become a barrister etc. and claimed his status, his study ends. It isn't that he would still continue to study after becoming a barrister. No, his study then ends. You too don't need to study after you have become deities. The kingdom of deities continues for 2500 years. Only you children know these things. You then have to explain to others. You should also be concerned that if you don't teach others, how you could be called a teacher! You all are teachers. Since you are children of the Teacher, all of you have to become teachers. So many teachers are needed to teach this. Just as the Father is the Teacher and the Satguru, similarly, you too are teachers. You are also satgurus, children of the Satguru. Those people are not satgurus. They are gurus, children of a guru. "Sat" means the truth.
Bharat used to be called the land of truth. This is the land of falsehood. Baba alone establishes the land of truth. He is the true Sai Baba. When the real Father comes, false ones also emerge. It is remembered: Storms will come and the boat will rock, but it will not sink. It is explained to you children that many storms of Maya will come. You must not be afraid of them. Sannyasis never say to you: Storms of Maya will come. They don't know where they will take the boat across to. You children know that you cannot receive salvation through devotion. People continue to come down even though they say that God comes and gives them the fruit of their devotion. Devotion definitely has to be performed. Achcha, what fruit of devotion does God come and give? He would surely grant salvation.People say this but they don't know when or how He will grant it. If you ask anyone, they would say that it has continued eternally, that it has continued from time immemorial.
When did they begin to burn an effigy of Ravan? They would say: From the beginning of time. When you explain to them, they say that your knowledge is new. Those who understood this in the previous cycle will quickly understand it. Leave aside Brahma. The birth of Shiva does take place and they refer to this as Shiva Ratri (Night of Shiva). The Father explains: My birth is divine and unique. I do not take birth like ordinary human beings because they all take birth through a womb; they become bodily beings. I do not enter a womb. No one, except the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, the Ocean of Knowledge, can give this knowledge. No human being can be called the Ocean of Knowledge. This praise belongs to only the incorporeal One.
The incorporeal Father teaches and explains to you souls. You children have become body conscious while playing your parts in the kingdom of Ravan. You have forgotten the knowledge of it being the soul that does everything. These are the organs. I am a soul and, if I want, I can make these organs work or not. In the incorporeal world souls remain seated there without bodies. You now know your home. Those people consider the home to be God. They are those who have knowledge of the brahm element brahm gyani and other elements tatv gyani . They say: We will merge into the brahm element. If they said that they will reside in the brahm element, then God would be separate, but they consider the brahm element to be God. This is also fixed in the drama.
They even forget the Father. Should you not remember the Father who makes you into the masters of the world, because He is the One who creates heaven? You are now the most auspicious confluence-aged Brahmins. You are now becoming the most elevated human beings.uttam purush The lowest human beings kanisht bow down in front of the highest beings. They go to the temples of the deities and sing so much praise.
You now know that we are becoming deities once again. This is something very simple. The variety-form image has been explained to you. There is also the variety cycle. Those people simply remember the Brahmins, deities and warriors. There are the images of Lakshmi and Narayan. The Father comes and corrects everyone. He is also correcting you because whatever you have been doing on the path of devotion for birth after birth was wrong. That is why you became tamopradhan.
This is the unrighteous world. There is nothing but sorrow here because it is the kingdom of Ravan; all are vicious. The kingdom of Ravan is unrighteous whereas the kingdom of Rama is righteous. This is the iron age and that is the golden age. This is something to be understood. Have you ever seen that One taking up any scriptures? He has given you His own knowledge and has also given you an explanation of creation. Those who study the scriptures and relate them to others have the scriptures in their intellects. So, the Bestower of Happiness for All is the one Shiv Baba. He alone is the highest-on-high Father. He is called the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul.
The unlimited Father definitely gives you an unlimited inheritance. You became residents of heaven 5000 years ago, and you are now residents of hell. The Father is called Rama; not that Rama (of the silver age) whose Sita was abducted. He was not the Bestower of Salvation; that Rama was a king, he was not even an emperor. The difference between an emperor maharaja and a king raja has also been explained to you. That one is 16 celestial degrees and this one is 14 degrees. In the kingdom of Ravan, too, there are emperors and kings. Those are very wealthy and the others are less wealthy. They cannot be called those of the sun dynasty or the moon dynasty. Amongst them, the wealthy ones receive the title of emperor. Those who are less wealthy receive the title of king.
It is now the rule of the people over the people. There is no Lord or Master. The subjects used to consider their king to be their provider, the bestower of food, but that too has now disappeared. Now look at the condition of people! There is so much fighting and quarrelling etc. You now have all the knowledge from the beginning to the end in your intellects. The Father, the Creator, is now here in a practical way and then there will be a story made of this on the path of devotion. You too are now here in a practical way. You will rule for half the cycle, and it will later just become a story. The images of you still remain. Ask anyone when those ones ruled and they would reply that it was hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Sannyasis belong to the path of isolation. You belong to the pure household ashram, pavitr gruhast ashram and you then have to go to the impure household ashram. No one knows about the happiness of heaven. Those on the path of isolation cannot teach anything about the family path. Previously, they used to reside in the forests and they had that power. Food used to be taken to them in the forests. Now, they don't have any power left.
Similarly, you had the power to rule there, but where is that power now? You are the same ones, are you not? You no longer have that power. The original religion of the people of Bharat does not exist now. There is now irreligion. The Father says: I come and carry out establishment of religion and destroy irreligiousness. I take those who have become irreligious adharmi into religion. All the rest that remain will be destroyed.
Nevertheless, the Father explains to you all: Give everyone the Father's introduction. The Father alone is called the Remover of Sorrow and the Bestower of Happiness. It is only when you become very unhappy that the Father then comes and makes you happy. This play is eternally predestined. Achcha.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 11, 2014: A Calm Mind


A Calm Mind

Don't give your mind permission to get disturbed. A disturbed mind is easily influenced. This will cost you your peace. Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments. Competing or comparing yourself with others will not allow you to focus inwards. An inner focus allows you to keep your eye on your higher self. Remember your original nature. It allows you to forge a link with the Divine. Then it becomes easy to recognize useless thoughts and replace them with a spiritual perspective. A calm mind is not just peaceful, it is focused, self-directing and divine.
 
Listen and Learn
It is a normal habit for all of us to talk more and listen less. We
always want to put forth our ideas and don't have the patience or the
inclination to hear what others have to say. Because of this we are
not able to learn but continue to do things in the same way as we used
to. In order to be able to learn we need to be open and listen from
everything that happens. The more we are able to listen, the more we
are able to learn, because each situation and each person has something
new to teach us. When we continue to learn we continue to experience
constant progress.

Maintaining Your Self Esteem In Relationships

When a person is in love with another human, the marvelous thing about being in love is that it is a totally positive projection. There is a person who projects on to you all that is positive: you are marvelous, you are unique, you are indispensable, you are a treasure. That positive projection generates a euphoric state, of bliss, of wellbeing, whereby you are flying. You feel loved, cared for, needed and valued. That positive projection lasts for a time until, with the dependencies and expectations, the negative projection begins. "You should have called me, you should have told me, you should have come at this time, you should be more like this, you should be less like that, you should have done this or that."

With these expectations, demands and dependencies, that positive projection and flying state disappear. The other has started interfering in your personal space and the harmony that was there previously is lost. One needs to learn to have a positive vision of oneself. You are marvelous, you are unique; don't depend on them telling you so. This does not mean you need to feed your ego, but that you need to make the most positive emerge from within you. Resort to all your creative, positive, spiritual capacity, so that you do not depend on others having to project positive things onto you in order to feel good. On feeling good in an independent and autonomous way, you will be able to share with others peace, love and positivism. You won't be in the state of a victim but will be true rulers and controllers of your own life with solid self-esteem.

What is Will Power?

The expression will-power is often used to refer to our ability to put into practice the ideas we know to be for our well-being and to resist actions (karmas) which are harmful. This is directly related to the soul's intellectual strength. When we speak of weakness or strength in the soul we are referring to the intellect. In the case of a weak soul (one with lower will-power) it is almost as if the intellect plays no part in determining which thoughts arise in the mind, but they come as if pushed by the sanskaras (mainly in the form of habits) or are triggered by the atmosphere around or the moods of others. On the contrary, a powerful soul (one with higher will-power) enjoys the experience of its own choice regardless of external stimuli (influence).

Rajyoga meditation develops the intellect to such an extent that this degree of control is possible. A practitioner of Rajyoga meditation can be in the midst of a situation of intense disturbance, yet remain so unshakeably calm that the inner strength becomes a shelter and inspiration to others lacking in that strength. The weak soul is like a leaf at the mercy of the storm, the strong one, a rock in the face of a rough sea.

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.

The deep philosophy of sin and charity

Paap aur punya ki guhya gati



Understand the deep philosophy of sin and charity. When you become a child of the Father and claim your right to an inheritance, you become a charitable soul. Good wishes increase your account of charity. Let your feelings and motives be constantly elevated and you will become a constantly charitable soul.



1.   Sin deprives you of your elevated fortune.

2.   Sin is also committed through thoughts.

3.   Any wasteful words for any soul also accumulate in the account of sin.

4.   In action, if, instead of having good wishes in your relationships
and connections, you have any other feelings, then that too accumulates in your account of sin, because it is also a form of causing sorrow for others.

5.   Wasteful feelings, feelings of dislike or jealousy increase your account of sin.

6.   After belonging to the Father, your burden of sin becomes one hundred-fold. Therefore, do not become so careless!



Effort:

1.   Become world servers and remain aware of the huge task for which you have become instruments.

2.   Let go of wasteful matters and become embodiments of power.

3.   Hear no evil, see no evil, think no evil! Now, the Father says: Hear no waste! Speak no waste! Think no waste!

4.   Always have good wishes and pure feelings in your thoughts.

5.   Speak auspicious words.

6.   Pay attention to the disciplines of Brahmin life.

7.   Constantly keep the maryadas (code of conduct) in front of you.

8.   Keep the knowledge of both sin and charity in your intellect. Check that whilst you are called a charitable soul, you are not committing any sin through your thoughts, words or deeds.

9.   Check that you did not defame the Father’s name or His knowledge through any type of wrong behaviour.



Special practice to serve the world through attitude, vibrations and remembrance:



1.   Be always ever ready

2.   Stabilize in a constant stage.

3.   Go beyond this world of noise and become a resident of the world beyond sound in one second.

4.   Practice remaining stable beyond sound and of receiving all attainments.

5.   Experience yourself to be an embodiment of imperishable happiness and have a cheerful and entertaining stage ramnik avastha whilst being beyond stage.

6.   Together with being silent, experience of the stage of being extremely silent as well as extremely cheerful and entertaining.



Transformation of the self means transformation of many others. In this, you should think, “I first”. There is great pleasure maja in this dying alive marjeeva. This is known as the great sacrifice. mahabali  Do not be afraid. Die in happiness. This dying is the real living. This is the true donation of life.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 10, 2014: Manage Emotions


Daily Positive Thoughts: August 10, 2014: Manage Emotions

Manage Emotions

When the energy of our consciousness is out of our control - the mind is agitated. We are being emotional. The solution is to detach from the inner storms, stand back and observe the hurricane pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. When you watch your own anger, it dies. If you don't detach from it, and observe it ...it will be your master.
Happiness

We usually look for happiness in all that we do. Unless there is an
experience of attainment or visible fruit seen, we are not inspired to
do the task. With such an attitude, although we do experience
happiness for some time, we do not find it long lasting. Real and
permanent happiness comes from our commitment towards our aim. When we are focused on that, the little things that we have to do which don't
give us immediate happiness or which are difficult for us, don't stop
us. We continue to move forward with happiness towards our aim.

Understanding Fear


Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to wish for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny... There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Fear is an energy that puts a brake on you and prevents you from doing what you want and aiming where you want to go. It blocks you in the communication and expression of what you want to say. Fear makes you hide, suppress and not express the most attractive; the most beautiful part of your inner self.

Fear has an influence on our capacity to reason, discriminate and take decisions. It makes us doubt, it makes us indecisive even in the simplest decisions of our lives. Fear does not allow your energy to flow, and that weakens your state of wellbeing and general health. Fear locks you into yourself and makes you become indecisive. It is a shadow over your inner self that prevents you from acting with ease and fluidity. It reduces your capacity of expression, of being yourself, of dealing with life and flowing in it.

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 recognise 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.



Message for the day


The one who is powerful shows the practical proof of success instead of just talking about it.

Projection: It is usually very easy for us to talk about how to do things best, it is as much easy to tell others and give directions. But the one who is powerful is not just satisfied with mere words or proving to others about his success. He is more concerned more about being successful.

Solution: We need to check if we are applying in our life what we are talking about. We need to see to it that whatever we speak about, we must put into practice. Only then will we find improvement and progress in our life. Then there will be no more the need to talk about our success but our life will reveal how successful we are. We will then be an inspiration to many.
