Message for the day 30.06.2009

True honesty to the self brings the power to bring about change.

Expression:
To be honest is not just to be truthful. It is more to be honest with the self. The one who is honest with the self constantly has the aim of bringing about a change for the better. Each situation is used as a chance for the betterment of the self. So there is always the aim not to repeat the mistakes that are committed once.


Experience:
When I am honest with myself I am able to feel the constant progress and experience the happiness of moving forward under all circumstances. I have the power to understand the situation, not just from my point of view, but more in a detached way. So I am able to understand and accept whatever the situation holds for me and learn from it humbly.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Trust brings help from others. Many times we find that we are not able to get sufficient help from others. We seem to be struggling all alone. We do expect help from others and might say so in words too, but we find that we are not always able to get full cooperation from others. We will not get help from others if we expect and demand from others. Instead we need to develop faith in others that they will help. For this we need to develop total respect for each and everyone. It is this respect that will naturally encourage the other person to help us.

Message for the day 29.06.2009

The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change.

Expression:
When there is a challenge which brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself, but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly.

Experience :
When I am able to face the challenge of working on my own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation I am able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness but I will be able to have full control on the situation. So there is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Humility helps us maintain good relationships with others. When involved in something that we are doing, we naturally come into contact with a lot of people. We sometimes find that we are not able to get along with certain people. We find it very difficult to maintain a good relationship with them and finally avoid dealing with them all together. The first thing to do is to avoid thinking that we cannot get along with someone because of their personality. When we remove this first block in our mind we will be able to see the good in all. We will no longer think that we are here to teach them but will humbly learn whatever we can from them.

Message for the day: 28.06.2009

The method to bring about a permanent change is to bring about newness in thinking.

Expression:
To bring about a permanent change for the better means getting the mind trained to new ways of looking at the same situation. Only with this new understanding will there be a new response. Trying to bring about change in a superficial way will not bring about a long-lasting change.

Experience:
When I train my mind to think creatively I'm able to keep my mind busy. In this way I'm able to free it from thinking negative and waste. Also I find myself enjoying every scene that comes in front of me and I also find myself constantly progressing.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

To see ourselves in the mirror of knowledge is to bring progress in ourselves. The usual way of looking at ourselves when things don't go right with us is to either look at ourselves with self-pity or to point out others' mistakes. When we do this we lose the opportunity of learning from whatever has happened and so there is no progress. The
ideal way of looking at ourselves when things go wrong is to look with a knowledgeable eye and see what we can improve in ourselves. We only have to look and we are sure to find something that we can work on and improve. This brings about real progress in us.

Thought for Today

The ones with pure love bring benefit to all. Each day of ours is usually spent in doing things for ourselves and providing for our needs and desires. We seem to have no time for others. We are usually caught up with a few people, which brings attachment and expectations. We then find ourselves getting caught up with the weaknesses of others. We need to check if our love for others is pure. Where there is pure true love there is kindness and the attitude of bringing benefit. With this attitude of ours we will be able to see each one's potential for perfection. They too will be able to then work towards their own perfection.

Message for the day 26.06.2009

The method to finish waste thoughts is to deal with the mind with love.

Expression:

When there are waste thoughts in the mind which one tries to stop, it becomes difficult to do that. There is discomfort and difficulty experienced. On the other hand, when the mind is taught to take the right direction with love, there is a quick and dramatic change.

Experience:

When I learn the art of speaking to my mind with love, I am able to free myself from waste thoughts without any feelings of suppression. Concentration too becomes easy and all thoughts are directed towards the right direction.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

The practice of positivity enables us to be stable under all circumstances. Usually we find ourselves reacting negatively to situations. At such times we want to maintain a positive attitude but are not able to. We then work hard and think of ways to change the negative situation to a positive one. A lot of time and effort goes into it and we tend to feel tired. The solution lies in maintaining our own positivity rather than trying to change negative into positive. When we have a long time of practice of working with our inner positivity we will be able to be positive even in the most negative situation. Then we will be saved the effort of having to work at transforming our negativity.

Message for the day 25.06.2009

Self-respect brings constant learning and an experience of success.

Expression:

Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a positive and elevated state of mind. There is openness and enthusiasm to bring about progress in one's life. Everything that is done is towards this end. So, the one with self-respect naturally reveals one's speciality in all thoughts, words and actions.

Experience:

When I am able to maintain my own state of self-respect, I am able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. I'm able to understand, accept and make use of all situations in the right way. So, whatever the situation may be, for me there is a constant experience of progress.

Thought for Today

When the energy of our consciousness is out of control - the mind is agitated and we become emotional. The solution is to stand back and observe the storm pass. Detached observation withdraws the energy which your emotions require to sustain themselves. Today is the day to practice positive, detached observation, and each emotion-filled moment is the opportunity. This is 'real' work. The work of one who is a master of their own consciousness.

Message for the day 24.06.2009

The power of determination brings all thoughts into practice.

Expression:

There are a lot of thoughts that come into the mind that should come into practice immediately. These thoughts come according to the demands of time or according to the kind of people that one comes into contact with. But the only way to bring all these thoughts into practice is to use the power of determination. Where there is determination there is the commitment to use all the resources for the realisation of that thought.

Experience:

When I am able to use the power of determination, I am able to realise my inner potential and use it in the right way. So I am able to experience constant progress, because all my thoughts are for my own self progress and all these thoughts naturally come into practice. I never give up anything with temporary setbacks but am
able to do everything for the constant progress of the self.

Message for the day 23.06.2009

Love creates the right environment for others' positive growth.

Expression:

Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created. Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and gives the encouragement to others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others.

Experience:

When I have love for others, along with perceiving their specialities, I am also able to recognise and use my specialities and inner powers more and more. Knowing and using these specialities is naturally for the benefit of those around me. This gives me an inner experience of power which makes me a constant giver and a support for those around me.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Who am I? I am truth, I am love, I am purity, I am peace, I am wisdom, I am courage, and I am bliss. That's who I truly am, and who I always will be. Believe this, and you will be taking personal responsibility for yourself, thereby giving benefit for all, and helping to reshape the world for the better.

Message for the day 22.06.2009

The one who is calm and cool is the one who makes the right decisions.

Expression:

The natural nature of the human mind is to come under pressure and tension during negative situations. When there is a challenging situation, there is naturally the tendency to find it difficult to maintain an inner state of calm. But the one who has the ability to go within and find the inner calm is able to be clear in thinking and is able to make the right decisions.

Experience:

When I am able to experience the inner state of calm, I am able to be clear in my thinking. With this clarity I find the right decisions and solutions emerging very naturally within my mind. I will never have the difficulty of having to make decisions, but all decisions are made with ease and they are right too.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Maintaining a state of inner calm protects me from becoming a slave to my emotions. It also helps me to keep a cool head when I see others becoming heated or angry. Coolness is not to be distant or uncaring; rather it requires that I develop the deeply caring nature of a peacemaker and serve others in the best possible way.

Message for the day 21.06.2009

To pay constant attention towards positivity is to be free from tension.

Expression:

To pay attention means not to think, speak or do anything waste, negative or even ordinary. The one who keeps attention in this way and also allows no negativity from outside to go within, is always free from tension. There is also the proper use of everything that is available.

Experience:

When I am able to pay constant attention and also use the inner treasures within for a positive purpose, there is the use of the inner potential. When there is the recognition and use of this potential within in this way, negativity finishes; just as sunshine finishes darkness.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Who is He that loves us so much? And who is He that offers us so much? And if we do not listen to Him, how will we know Him? And if we do not know Him how will we surrender to Him? And, if we do not surrender, how will we formulate our plan of action?

Thought for Today

There is a direct link between how much you believe in yourself and your success. Most of us live life reluctantly, thinking "I have to go to work, "I have to do this or that". We've forgotten that we have choices and free will, the building blocks of our personal vision. Lead the life you choose, the way you choose, consistent with your beliefs, feelings, skills and personality in order to achieve your full potential.

Message for the day 20.06.2009

The virtues of honesty and courage bring success.

Expression:
The one who is courageous is never deterred by challenges, but
moves on towards success. Combined with courage, is the virtue of
honesty which allows one to be consistent, sincere and true in the
efforts put in. So success comes with proper effort and there is
also humility visible in such a person.

Experience:
When I am courageous, but at the same time honest in my efforts
that I put in for achieving success, I'll never have ego. I will
be able to get the cooperation and good will of all, and especially
the protection and the help of God. I will find myself moving
slowly towards success with everything I do.

The one who is open to learning always finds an opportunity to learn and change.

Expression:
Life has plenty of opportunities for the one who wants to learn. Each situation and person that comes one's way is an instrument for a new learning. Constant learning brings about a deep internal change and progress in one's life.

Experience:
When I am able to learn from all that happens, I am able to be content for both what I have learnt and the change that I have been able to bring about. This contentment also keeps me enthusiastic and my mind open for further learning. I naturally become an embodiment of what I have learnt.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

When there is love, tolerance becomes easy. Love makes us free from expectations, which enables us to accept people as they are. The more we go within ourselves we are able to discover our own strengths. We will automatically be a giver in all situations and we can tolerate very easily. Let us think of one person in whom we are not able to tolerate some quality. We then need to tell ouselves that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, we will accept this person as he is. When we change our attitude towards that person we can be tolerant.

Message for the day 18.06.2009

The one who is responsible is the one who is always light.

Expression:
To be resposnsible means to do everything with the best of one's ability. It comes with the recognition and the understanding of the importance of the task. No action is wasted, but everything meaningfully connects to the fulfillment of the task. So there are not even ordinary actions, but only those that are meaningful.

Experience:
When I take up every task that I need to do with full responsibility, I am able to give my best. Then I will be able to be light having done my task well and in time. There is never the pressure of work, but there is plenty of time for the self and for others. I also find my inner resources being used to the fullest extent.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

To be humble is to be a source of happiness to all around. Sometimes we find that we don't mean to be negative to others but people seem to be displeased with us. When there is any kind of sorrow experienced or if others are experiencing any negative feelings, it means we are not working with our inner humility. We need to develop regard for all around us. When we work with this regard there will be humility within us. This naturally enables others to experience happiness. To the extent that even in the most negative situations others will experience happiness.

To do what is right for all is to remain happy.

Expression:
The one who is always concerned for others is the one who can do right for others. There is constant benefit for others merged in every action of such a person. Because of having given without expectation, there is happiness in everything that is done. There is also uniqueness and specialty revealed in every action.

Experience:
I experience double benefit, because there is happiness in the effort as well as in the result of that effort. There is constant success experienced by me. I am also able to receive the good wishes and blessings from others and I further get encouraged to use my specialty. So I constantly experience progress in my life.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

When our vision is on our aim, we will continue to progress. Sometimes as we move along we suddenly stop. We no more find the progress that should be there in our life. At such times we don't really understand what the reason is. We do try to bring about changes but it doesn't always work and we find ourselves stagnating. When on a journey, we are sure to come across many scenes that are beautiful or distracting. But when we know where we have to go we will never be distracted but will move on appreciating each scene that comes our way. In life too, when we are faced with a situation that is not in keeping with our aim we need to pay special attention not to get carried away with such side-scenes.

Message for the day 16.06.2009

To be a teacher means to touch the heart rather than the head.

Expression:
Teaching others means being subtle and explaining in such a way that the mind opens because the heart has understood. The one who truly teaches inspires rather than just becoming the one who teaches others. There is a recognition of the positivity that is in each one and so no comparisons are made with others.

Experience:
Once I am able to look at the positivity in another individual and have the pure desire of enabling progress within that person, I am able to feel the love for him. This is like a parent's love whose love for the child is that which makes him grow. So I become a teacher who inspires rather than the one who teaches.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

To be an inspiration to many is to be a hero actor. When we see negativity in others, we usually think and speak about it. We then take no inspiration to think and act positive. The more the attention is drawn towards negativity, our actions will become negative too. Whatever the situation we are in, we need to make effort to change our own actions and turn them to positive. We will then be free from looking at the negativity in others. And our actions will become an inspiration to those around us, which will inspire them to become positive too.

God's love brings out the perfection from within.

Expression:
The power of God's love brings about change internally. Through
His love everything old and unwanted finishes. There is the
natural tendency to bring about such perfection that the one who
loves Him and gets His love becomes like a mirror - a mirror in
which perfection of others too is visible.

Experience:
There is such inner strength that I get because of God's love that
even if somebody does something to hurt me, I don't allow myself to
get hurt. Even if people are saying negative things, they don't
influence or touch me in a negative way. I am so full with God's
love that it naturally flows out to those around me.

Brahma Kumaris

Thought for Today

Just as eating and serving something sweet makes your taste buds feel sweetness, and for a while after, you remain happy, become sweet-natured yourself so that words filled with sweetness are constantly spoken. Such sweet words make both you and others happy. Use this method to always sweeten everyone's mouth; constantly maintain a sweet attitude, sweet words and sweet actions.

Message for the day 14.06.2009

To receive respect from others comes more with responsibility than as a right.

Expression:
The one who gets respect is the one who becomes worthy of it rather than the one who just expects it. True respect comes from how well a task is done rather than what is done. The more one's speciality is expressed, the more one becomes worthy of respect.

Experience:
When I go on giving my best in whatever is expected of me, I will start receiving respect from those around me. I will then never expect from others but will naturally be able to give respect to all. This further makes me earn their love and regard.
