Is Reincarnation A Reality?

Is Reincarnation A Reality?

We are all spiritual beings or souls playing our respective roles through our respective bodies. We all feel ourselves spiritually when we think and visualize and act in different ways through our behaviour, based on our nature or sanskars. Also, its a commonly accepted reality that we change physical costumes or bodies from time to time and come in the cycle of birth and rebirth. This is called reincarnation. At the same time, there are many people in the world who do not believe in reincarnation and feel this is just an imagination and life is only a physical phenomenon and all thinking and visualizing is done by the brain and not the soul. They also believe that sanskars or nature are nothing but physical genes inherited from our parents, who give us birth and they are not carried by the soul.


Spirituality gives us the important learning that God is also a spiritual energy like us and He does not come in the cycle of birth and rebirth. He constantly stays in the soul world and only comes down once on Earth, when the world loses its spiritual energy and degrades in qualities. God fills the Earth and all souls who play their part on Earth with his spiritual qualities and uplifts the world again. He transforms the Iron Age or Kaliyug to the Golden Age or Satyug, which is also called Swarg or Heaven. God gives the knowledge of reincarnation when He comes down on Earth and reveals to us how souls play their roles through different physical costumes, from the beginning of the Golden Age to the end of the Iron Age and then again back to the Golden Age after God purifies the souls. This cycle from the Golden Age to the Iron Age repeats again and again.

Message for the day


Lightness comes when words are accurate.


Expression: 
Accurate words means there is nothing extra spoken. Whatever has to be said is said to the point. Such words being short are sweet to hear too and are those that never hurt others. They bring about the result needed accurately. 


Experience: When my words are to the point, there is a lot of lightness experienced within me and my physical energy is saved too. Others too experience benefit through my words and so I naturally get blessings from them, which helps me move forward with lightness.

5 Steps For Connecting Children With God

5 Steps For Connecting Children With God

1. Introduce Children To The Wisdom Of The Soul And God - Children have an impressionable mind. Whatever you teach them they absorb easily. So its very important to teach them from an early age, about the existence of the soul and the Supreme Soul and their form, qualities, spiritual home and what they do in the World Drama. This will make them spiritually intelligent.


2. Teach Children How To Create A Place For God In Their Life - In the present world and environment, it is very easy for children to get influenced negatively and either not give importance to God or think He is just an imagination, which are common beliefs. So they need to be trained to remember God in the morning and before sleeping and also keep God with them in every action in the day.


3. Show Children The Path To Life Success By Holding God's Hand - Children have many goals related to studies, exams, relationships, personality, health, sports and hobbies. By holding God's hand, these goals can be reached easily. So children should be motivated to learn meditation and use their inner powers for success in every sphere of life.


4. Create A Collective Positive Consciousness At Home - A good spiritual practice is collective reading or listening of spiritual wisdom by the entire family every morning for atleast 15 minutes. Children should be taught to remember the spiritual wisdom the entire day and follow it.


5. Teach Children To Keep A Diary And Donate Their Weaknesses - Parents should teach their children to tell God about their life and write about their specialties and weaknesses in a diary. Also, they should be trained to donate whatever weaknesses they have to God and create new qualities. This will make them emotionally wise and bring them closer to God.

The 4 Subjects Of Rajyoga And Their Significance (Part 3) 

4. Service Of Others In Different Ways - The fourth subject of Rajyoga is service of others through thoughts, words and actions. Once we have understood the wisdom and have learnt and experienced the meditation deeply and also become full of divinity, goodness and angelic qualities, the last step is to start giving and radiating everything that we have learned and imbibed from God to others. We can do this through our thoughts and vibrations, through our words and through different actions that we perform in the day. The spiritual path is about filling in oneself and also sharing with others. Both help us understand spirituality and its significance more and they help us understand God deeper. If we only fill ourselves from God and don't give, our spiritual understanding and qualities don't increase as much as when we fill and give both. Also, giving should always be done after filling ourselves deeply with wisdom, qualities and powers. Otherwise, we end up giving others without being full of everything that we are sharing and that depletes us, instead of empowering us as time goes by. Service is a very important subject as it brings about inner awakening and brings us blessings from everyone, making our life path free from obstacles and difficulties.


These 4 subjects which we have explained in this message, make up Rajyoga and all 4 have been taught by God. Many souls all over the world are learning Rajyoga and changing their lives. Rajyoga is taught at all the Brahma Kumaris centres in India and in more than 120 other countries and souls from all over the world are benefitting from it by bringing the 4 subjects in their daily lives. The daily routine of anyone who has connected themselves to the Brahma Kumaris and is practicing Rajyoga begins with practicing meditation in the early morning hours at home, then getting ready and then listening to spiritual wisdom, by going to the nearest Brahma Kumaris centre, after that. After that everyone fulfils their day-to-day duties of taking care of their families, going to their office or workplace, doing other activities of home and also taking care of one's own body and physical well-being, all in the remembrance of God. A pure lifestyle is followed by everyone with pure eating and drinking habits and sleeping early and waking up early. The aim of the Rajyogi life is to purify the soul and also guide other souls to purify themselves.

To have attention to accumulate is to experience constant progress.


Expression: 
The one who has the attention to accumulate each and every moment makes sure that he uses well his treasures like thoughts, time etc. Then, there would never be anything waste or even ordinary. Instead each treasure would be used for the benefit of all. 


Experience: Having attention to accumulate makes me realise the importance of whatever I have. This makes me pay attention on even little things and I find myself benefitting from each moment and with each thing that happens. Thus I experience constant progress.

Enjoy And Love Every Moment Of Eating

Enjoy And Love Every Moment Of Eating

All of us have three meals a day. They sustain and nourish us to sit, move, speak, smile, and complete tasks. For the ways food serves us, it is important to love and respect what we eat. We often find ourselves grumbling or judging the food on our plate. We reject it unawares with statements like - I'm bored of eating this every morning, This dish is so bland, I wish my mother could cook better. We also worry or feel guilty - I might put on weight, What if my sugar levels increase, This doesn't taste fresh, hope I won't fall sick. Once we decide to eat, let's enjoy the food, not think of its effects. Let's create thoughts of gratitude and love before and while eating. The quality or quantity may not always be perfect. Never mind – we have enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) thousands of delicious meals. The few imperfections should not change our respect for food.


Food that we eat everyday is nutrition for our body. We choose what is healthy. We can choose what is tasty, but if we say we will be happy when we eat something specific, it means our happiness becomes dependent on our food. Sit back, and visualize yourself happy while you are having your meals and radiating happy energy to your food. We often create an energy of irritation when we eat something which is not tasty for us. Food may not be tasty … but happiness or irritation is our choice. Practice today to not allow your food to influence your mind. Criticizing what you are eating radiates negative energy to the food which then influences your mind. Before every meal today, pause and reaffirm I am happy and calm as I eat my meal. I energize the food with my happiness.

Message for the day


Words filled with good wishes bring change in others.


Expression: 
When there are good wishes combined with the words that I speak, there is love. Whatever is spoken with love has its effect on others. Such words are free from all kind of negativity, so they naturally have a lot of power. Only such powerful words can bring about a change in others.

 
Experience: When I speak with love and good wishes, I find that I am light, knowing that I have no selfishness in whatever I have said. The others too are able to immediately correct themselves. This also enables me to gain good wishes for having taken them a step forward.
