The Journey Of Time (cont.)
In yesterday’s message, we had explained how the Law of Entropy works on a physical level. When the Law of Entropy is applied to spiritual energy, our virtues, to the quality our thoughts, words and actions, we can perhaps begin to see why, as individuals, we feel tired and old in virtues, irrespective of whether we are young or old physically. We can also understand why we succumb to negative thoughts, words and actions more easily than being influenced by the positive. In fact, the entropy of our virtues i.e. the spiritual entropy has followed the same pattern as the entropy of the physical world or the physical entropy (explained yesterday) i.e. the spiritual energy or the energy of the virtues of the world has been reducing (as the world has become older and older) because it has not been renewed or re-energized from a source outside the system. When we accept this movement from new to old, we understand the journey of time in a completely different way. As we look backwards into the journey of time, we find that although there have been very important scientific discoveries and global communication has improved immensely, which have all contributed to the give everyone an illusion of progress, everyone accepts that we are not enjoying healthier, more loving and peaceful relationships with ourselves, each other or the planet Earth. The reason for this is understood easily by applying the second law of time i.e. everything new becomes old. At the present moment, the source from outside the world system (on a spiritual level) which is required to re-energize it and restore it to its original new stage is the Supreme Soul or God or the Spiritual Sun, who is an ocean of spiritual energy and divine values or virtues. In meditation we, as living beings, who are part of the world system, can absorb this energy or divinity from him and contribute to this process.

Message for the day 03-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To recognise one's own uniqueness is to respect oneself.
Expression: To have respect for oneself based on other people's opinion or
situational achievements is to have respect temporarily. True respect
for the self is based on the recognition of the fact that every
individual is unique with its own set of unique capabilities. This
understanding enables one to see one's own uniqueness without being
influenced or without comparing with others.
Experience:
When I know to recognise and appreciate my own uniqueness and respect
myself on this basis, I am able to be free from ego or a feeling of
inferiority. I am also able to recognise naturally the uniqueness of
the other person and respect him for it. Thus I am able to win the
love and respect of others too.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
