The Journey Of Time (cont.)
We also see in nature that everything new becomes old. Nothing ever starts old and becomes new. All material possessions including the human body, all political movements, religious movements, different philosophies etc. move from a state of newness to a state of oldness or decay. This is on a micro level. When we apply this principle and process on a macro level to the world as a whole, we can then easily understand why we live in an 'old world' – a world with scientific progress but overused, misused, tired and where many sectors are simply worn out. This process is sometimes known as entropy. The Law of Entropy states that a closed system moves from order to disorder or chaos, when the energy inside it reduces because it is not renewed or re-energized from a source outside that system. On a physical level, the sun sustains and re-energizes the systems of nature on the physical Earth every day. But in the recent past our exploitation of the world has started to become faster than the world’s ability to renew or re-energize. We now use the trapped energy in our physical world much faster than the sun can replace it.
Tomorrow, we shall explain how the Law of Entropy can be applied to spiritual energy and our virtues.

Message for the day 02-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who is the master of the self is able to master situations and
control people.
Expression: If there is an attempt to control situations and people without trying
to control the self it becomes impossible. It only takes things more
out of control and leads to extreme emotions like anger. To be a
master means to
be a master of one's own feelings and emotions under all
circumstances. It means to have the reins in one's own hands.
Experience: When I am able to be a master of my own thoughts, feelings and
emotions I am able to deal effectively with situations and people. I
never go out of control or lose my cool however difficult the
situation or person may be.
This enables me to be aware of my own inner resources and use it to be
the best of my ability.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
