Simplifying The Union With The Spiritual Parent
The easiest definition of the word ‘yoga’ is union. When you unite with someone or something, you keep thinking about that someone or something and keep visualizing the same. It is as if you experience a union with the object or the person in your mind. In this way, there is a subtle (non-physical) communication with them which, when you meet, will turn into a form of words (physical communication).
We communicate with others mostly through physical means, but we cannot do the same with our spiritual Father and Mother - God, as He does not take a physical form. Our communication or union has to be subtle (non-physical), through the vibrations that we radiate as souls or life energies. There is deeply rooted belief in many – a belief that goes back to many centuries, that this union takes many births of effort to become a master at, but that’s not true, it just takes a little practice and patience. The reason why it may seem difficult, at first, is that our mind tends to be filled with thoughts, feelings and images related to other people, friends, family members with whom we have interacted or will be interacting, our workplace, the past, the future, unnecessary anxieties and many more issues. We need to learn to drop these 'thought conversations' with others and ‘creation of subtle images’ of other people and situations so that we can redirect our mind and vibrations to the Supreme. This also means learning how to make our mind and intellect quiet enough, and as a result, receptive enough, to receive, listen and feel His vibrations and His thoughts, and to experience His subtle presence. Ultimately it is an exchange of the energy of pure love between the soul and its Parent.

Message for the day 07-07-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
To spread the rays of happiness is to be optimistic.
Expression:
The one who is optimistic is able to spread the rays of happiness all
around. Never does he stop or move back with life's challenges. On
the other hand, he has the courage and determination to move on making
the best out of the situation. Others too are encouraged seeing his
faith.
Experience:
When I am optimistic I am able to understand that there is something
good that is hidden in everything that happens. I am able to enjoy
seeing only this positive aspect, filling me with positivity. So my
happiness spreads around and touches the lives of those around me.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
