When you look at the world through your physical eyes, you will see all the facets of our diversity: culture, race, personality, religion and so on. Seeing only through your physical eyes, it is easy to become stubborn and to try to prove yourself right. However where there is stubbornness there is no love. And trying to prove the self right is equally offensive. A diamond will sparkle even in the dust; you do not ever need to prove that you are right. In the face of the dangers that come from seeing only with the physical eyes, always think: now is the time to go beyond all divisions, beyond all that limits us and our sense of self. Whatever the race, the religion, the class - our consciousness now has to go beyond all of that.

Message for the day 26.02.2010
The one who is constantly flying with zeal and enthusiasm brings progress in others too.
Projection:
Whenever problems come my way, I tend to feel heavy with waste and negative thoughts. At that time I am not able to feel free and light. When there is heaviness in my mind, I can't move forward with enthusiasm and thereby find it difficult to contribute for others' progress too.
Solution:
Whatever the circumstances I am faced with, I need to make special effort not to reduce my enthusiasm in any way. The more I am able to be enthusiastic, the more I am able to contribute to the progress of others too along with my own progress.

Thought for Today
To step into the soul's potential, let go of the past. If you keep thinking about how you were in the past then this will hold you back. By keeping the soul's potential in front of you, then you can reach it.

The one who recognises the needs of others is the one who gives real happiness.
Projection:
I usually make a lot of effort to give in some way or the other to those around me. Yet I sometimes find that people are not able to be happy with me. What I give is usually based on what I feel the other person needs. I continue to give in this way and begin to expect from others too, and find myself disappointed when I am not appreciated.
Solution:
I need to be a giver in the true sense. Before I think of giving, I need to recognise the needs of others. The more I keep myself tuned to this I will enjoy what I am giving and the impact of it will be there on the others too. I will then find that others are pleased with me too.

To be free from waste questions is to save time.
Projection:
When difficult situations come my way I usually have a lot of questions in my mind about it. I continue to ask myself why the situation has come and have no answers. These questions usually bring me no solution for the problems at hand but I continue to have waste thoughts.
Solution:
I need to understand the importance of the time that is in my hands. When I recognize the value of my time I will not waste time in unnecessary thoughts but will try to find a solution for the problem. If there is no solution for the problem I at least just stop thinking unnecessarily and just accept it.

When there is determination in my thoughts, the clouds of negative situations will fade away.
Projection:
There are a lot of negative situations that come my way, as I am moving along. During the difficult phase I tend to experience a lot of negativity within too, either in the form of fear, anger or pain. At that time the difficulty seems very big and seems to last forever.

I need to recognize the fact that whatever difficulties I face are like passing clouds. These clouds come at their time and fade away at their time too. I need to develop the determination to work on my problems with this understanding. I will then be able to face the situation with ease.

To donate virtues is the greatest donation.
To donate virtues means to express virtues through one's own words and actions. There is some or the other value revealed through all words and actions. The ones who constantly have the aim of donating virtues naturally bring benefit to all they come into contact with. No one would go away empty handed from such people. When we constantly have the aim of using our virtues we have the satisfaction of giving continuously under all circumstances. We also find our own treasures of virtues increasing and we find ourselves richer and better than what we were.

The right way of living spreads joy to others.
Projection:
When people around me are not happy with me, I usually believe that I am right and they are all wrong. I then cannot check or realise my own mistake. So I rarely make an attempt to change myself and continue to wait for others to change or understand me.
Solution:
If people around me are not able to get happiness from me or the way I live, I need to look at my own life in a detached way to see where I could change. Even a slightest change brought by me with sincerity will have a great effect on those around me.

To be flexible is to enjoy everything that life brings.
Projection:
When I plan perfectly for the day ahead, I sometimes find that I am not able to implement all that I had planned for. Things seem to be coming up unexpectedly spoiling everything for me. I am then not able to be happy with what is happening and so find it difficult to do my best in the particular situation.
Solution:
It is as important to be flexible in my thoughts as it is to be particular about my daily schedule. Flexibility allows me to accommodate the unforeseen situations that come up my way and enables me to make the best use of everything. And so I enjoy everything that comes my way.

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.

Then I will never experience boredom in my life.

People are tired of words. However we still need to use words, so how could words become a means of giving an experience? For this we need to pay attention to the alignment of thoughts, words, and actions. Words are such they could either ‘make’ or ‘break’. Words have broken relationships into so many pieces. Now I am staying in a peace palace and my job is to put back together all the broken pieces. Ask yourself, who is inside the temple of my heart? Who is the one who has made my heart into a temple? Make the temple of your heart such that others can take rest and comfort with your pure feelings. God is looking for instruments who can do such service to others. Now, look at the time, the fortune of being an instrument for world service, and transform yourself. Do not get stuck in the thought that others should transform, but transform yourself and be free from bondages. This time of transformation will not come again. Keep the determination that it is now or never. – Dadi Jankiji

When we are able to relate to everyone in this way with only specialities, we become special. We also find others responding positively to us and using only their speicialities while in contact with us. There are also a lot of good wishes that we receive from others because of our positive attitude.

To recognize the uniqueness of one's own role is to be free from negativity.
Projection:
When we find things going wrong with us, we sometimes wish for a change in our role. We begin to compare ourselves with others or wish for something better in our life, which makes us lose all our enthusiasm. We, then, make no effort to better our role.
Solution:
We need to recognize the importance of our own role. Like an actor who doesn't make effort to change his role but brings perfection to his own role, we, too, need to concentrate on our own role. The recognition of the importance of our own role and the desire to bring excellence to it makes us free from negativity.

If you know somebody who might need a little bit of help, support or guidance experiment by going into silence and sending out your positive thought energy to him/her. As a first step, practice with the following positive thoughts:
Let me adopt the consciousness of a conscient (living) being, a soul, full of light, love and energy, situated at the centre of the forehead. Now I send a very powerful protective light to my friend or to my family.

To be victorious means to pass obstacles with ease.
The ones who aim to become victorious never think of not being faced with obstacles. Instead they look at each obstacle as a chance to use and express their own inner powers. So there is constant progress visible in them. When we are prepared for the inevitable challenges that life brings, we will not experience fear, tension or anxiety but will always be confident and fearless. Apart from actually being victorious in the situation, we also experience winning over our weaknesses and discovering new powers within us.

In my interactions with others, I sometimes only use my head, i.e., my logic. I am very logical and understand the facts very clearly. But if I keep myself limited only to the facts, I tend to forget to use my heart. I then am not available to the other person and fail to understand him.

I need to see beyond what the facts say and try to listen and understand the other person too. When I do this I will not hurt people with my attitude but will be able to maintain harmonious relationships.
Brahma Kumaris
Projection:
In my interactions with others, I sometimes only use my head, i.e., my logic. I am very logical and understand the facts very clearly. But if I keep myself limited only to the facts, I tend to forget to use my heart. I then am not available to the other person and fail to understand him.

Thought for Today
Diamond alone can cut another diamond and a thorn alone will have to be used to remove another thorn. The tendency to be greedy can be cured by another facet of greed. Instead of showing attachment towards worldly objects, one's attention should be directed towards divinity. We can be greedy to acquire spiritual knowledge. Let me possess a deep desire to develop forgiveness, politeness, straightforwardness and peacefulness.

The one who fulfills promises with determination is the one who overcome all problems.
Projection:
When I see some weakness working within me I usually make a promise to myself with a lot of enthusiasm. But if I face even a little opposition or difficulty in fulfilling this promise, I tend to lose hope and usually give up trying altogether.
Solution:
In order to bring about a change in me and fulfill my promise, I need to use the virtue of determination. Every time I find myself becoming careless in it, I need to remind myself strongly of the importance of the promise that I had made. Then I will be able to win over all the obstacles that come my way in bringing my thoughts
and words to actions.

Thought for Today
Concentration develops when the intellect is clean and clear.
For the one whose intellect continues to wander, concentration becomes difficult or impossible. On the other hand, for the one who is focused on one thing there are no other distractions at that time and there is easy concentration. When we are able to remain focused, we are not troubled by distractions which lessen our concentration. Instead we are able to increase our discrimination power and are able to decide and judge well. This happens because our intellect becomes clean and gets cleared of waste.

The power of positivity helps finish all negativity.
Projection:
When I am faced with negativity in people or in situations, I too usually tend to have negative thoughts. When my mind is caught up with negativity of any kind-fear, anger or tension, I cannot think anything positive. I then find myself totally caught up in the situation finding no solution.
Solution:
The only way to finish negativity is to work with positivity. I need to make a conscious effort to look at some positive aspect in the situation or person with whom I am facing difficulty. When I do this I can relate to them with this positivity which will slowly make the situation better again.

Habits are transformed when there is introversion.
Introversion gives us the power to look within and find the source of the habit that we want to change. Instead of working at a superficial level, we will then be able to recognize and change it from deep within. When such deep transformation takes place, we find that it never emerges again. When we want a habit to be changed, we need to ask ourselves why the habit is still continuing in spite of our wish to get rid of it. Along with the recognition of the root cause of the habit, we need to emerge the positive nature that is within us. This gives us the confidence and we find our habits transformed.

The right kind of support makes people independent.
Projection:
When I provide help and support to others, sometimes I find that they become dependent on me. They continue to expect the same kind of support that they had got from me before, when I am not in a position to give. Then my good gesture becomes a bondage or difficulty for me.
Solution:
When I am providing help to someone, I need to check the kind of help that I am providing. True help is to provide assistance in such a way that slowly the person learns to rely on his own resources and becomes independent. Then there will be no
expectations from me.

Thought for Today
To be merciful means to transform the pain and sorrow of others.
The one who is merciful always has the feeling of mercy and is able to help those who are in need or in distress. Such a person is able to bring about transformation in others too because of his own pure feelings. He is able to put in effort that becomes a contribution for the progress of others. When we have mercy for others, we are able to accept their feelings, emotions and behaviour and provide them with the right kind of mental support. Then we are able to give them courage without being influenced negatively with their feelings of pain and sorrow. So our mercy influences ourselves positively too as we are able to keep ourselves positive under all circumstances.

Our thoughts are always there, whatever age we are. Their content may change but our ability to think does not. First of all, I am a thinking, experiencing being or soul. Thoughts are not something physical which l can experience with the physical sense organs. I cannot see, taste or touch a thought. Thoughts are not made up of matter or even brain cells. I am a non-physical or spiritual being (soul), which creates thoughts. My form, a point of energy, situated in the centre of the forehead is the only form that cannot be destroyed. It is something so small that it cannot be divided. My identity is a soul, and all the other identities - teacher, student, man, woman, father, mother, friend, relation and so on - are simply different roles which I, the soul, play.

The one who is detached is the one who is happy.
Projection
When difficult situations come our way we tend to overreact because of our attachment and expectations. Because of this we experience much more unhappiness than what the situation actually holds. The understanding lacks that it is not the situation, but our own thoughts that are giving us sorrow.
Solution
We need to look at the situation just as we would watch it happen to someone else - with detachment. When we learn to detach ourselves from the situation in this way and see what it holds for us, we will not experience unhappiness but will be able to remain happy under all circumstances.

Thought for Today
The best way to change others is to remain peaceful.
When there is behaviour seen which is not to my liking or approval, there is a tendency to get upset and worked up about it. So immediately, this is brought into words and actions also. Getting agitated or excited doesn't however solve the problem. When there is the ability to remain peaceful, the right solution is found and there is the right response to the problem at hand. When we are able to maintain our inner peace under all circumstances and with all people, We are able to use the power of our thoughts to bring about a change in the mind of others too. We find ourselves discovering the power of our inner potential and are able to use it for our own benefit and that of others.

Understanding The Difference Between Control And Influence
The moment we become upset with someone in our family or at work it means we are trying to control them. And the moment others sense we are trying to control them, they distance themselves from us, and that reduces our ability to influence them in that situation. This in turn kills our effectiveness at getting things done through others, and leaves us frustrated and stressed, wondering why the world does not behave the way we want it to. This finally turns into the a very important realization - the more we try to control, the less influence we will have, whereas the less we attempt to control others, the more influence we will have.
Question: Who are the two people in your life with whom you become frustrated or upset very often? Why are you trying to control them?
Reflection: What can you see yourself doing differently (or behaving differently) in order to change your attempt from control into positive influence?
Action: Where, and with whom, will you experiment this?

Few words are required when thoughts are positive.
Projection:
I sometimes find myself using a lot of words to convey what I feel or to give explanations to others. Yet I sometimes find that others are not convinced with my words. I am then at a loss about what is to be done.
Solution:
Positive thoughts actually reach out to others and create the right environment. All I need to do is to create an atmosphere of positivity by maintaining my own positive thoughts. Then I will not have to use so many words to prove my point or to convince others.

Thought for Today
Anger comes where there is discontentment. When we don't get what we want or when people don't do what we expect them to do we experience discontentment. When there is discontentment, when our desires aren't fulfilled we experience anger. Then trying to do away with anger without knowing the actual reason, doesn't work. When we find ourselves getting angry with someone or some situation, we need to first check what is the true reason for our anger. Once we find the cause of it, which is some expectation of ours, we will be able to work at overcoming it. We will then be able to get rid of our anger too.

The method to get help is to take the first step of courage.
Projection:
When I set out to achieve something, I usually expect help from situations or people, but am not always able to get it. Then I tend to become disheartened and sometimes tend to give up the task altogether.
Solution:
The right way to get help is to first take a step forward even in the most negative situations. With courage and faith when I start in whatever little way I can, I find the help coming to me. Then I will neither stop nor give up with the little setbacks that I am faced with.

To have equality in thought, word and action is to be successful.
Projection:
With regards to what I want to achieve, my thoughts are usually high. I then speak about my high plans to others too. But to bring my plans into action it takes a long time and by then I find that they have lost their intensity.
Solution:
I need to remind myself that if I don't implement my thoughts immediately, I will never do it. I also need to check if the thoughts that I have are practical. I need to then plan and speak about it according to my checking. Then I find that my thoughts and plans are not wasted away, but become practical.
