God And I - The Relationship We Share (Part 4)

A relationship with God is incomplete without His remembrance in the right way. Of course, there are millions of people in the world who love God and keep Him in His heart in different ways. But as a student of the Brahma Kumaris, we have learnt a lot about God and as many people all over the world share their experience that what they learnt here was a complete description of who they are and also about their spiritual form and qualities. Also, they learnt about God and His spiritual form, His qualities and extremely importantly His role of the present time.

You might say that we already know God in some way or the other but don’t forget that there is always room for more to learn, which should not be ignored. So keep your minds and hearts open to new and truthful knowledge of the world’s past, present and future and the world Father and Mother, whom we call God. God has opened many secrets about Himself, which many people all over the world have learned and made a part of their life by being a part of our introductory course that we offer here at the Brahma Kumaris. The course is held for one hour everyday and lasts for a week. After that, it is upto you to make a choice whether you continue inculcating more knowledge or you do not but this course will open your mind and give your inner thinking a different point of view. For some it can be a life changing experience. We invite you to any centre of the Brahma Kumaris. Centres are present all over the world. The course is conducted free of charge and the Brahma Kumaris offer this course to people from all the different religions and irrespective of age, gender and occupation. What that means is that anyone and everyone can take up the course and a time can be fixed up as per your convenience and after talking to the centre. This will give you an idea of God’s personality and also His present task of world change.

Perform every action after careful consideration of the past experience, present situation and the future consequence and you will be successful.

Checking:At the end of each day, in all the situations that you have faced and in all the decisions you have taken check if there were any feelings of regret, repentance or any other waste thoughts. When the action is performed after careful consideration, there will be no waste thoughts.

Practice: Before you make every major decision, make sure you do it after careful consideration. Let there be the practice of spending time and thoughts before the action than wasting time and thoughts by regretting after the action has already been performed.

God And I - The Relationship We Share (Part 3)

A beautiful relationship with God does not mean that we stop having beautiful relationships with everyone else because the love experienced from God is used to give to others without which life would be without any meaning. People who have tried to connect to God alone and forgot the beautiful people in their lives which make life a joyful journey did not reach the destination of peace, love and joy successfully. A loner or someone who disconnects with people will never feel as satisfied as one who connects with people and their specialties. Love God a lot but love others too. In fact, it is God’s love which will fill our relationships with others full of love. This is the triangle of spirituality. Take from God and give to others and also love others to bring them closer to God. This is the objective of true spirituality. Spirituality does not mean only remembering God to purify oneself but to serve others with that pure love which you receive from God. Service, as stated in all religions, is one of the primary objectives of a beautiful spiritual life and service is nothing but purifying others with the help of a love filled connection with God.

Loving God with a pure heart is another aspect of spirituality. Remember it’s the humble and the sweet who will win God’s love and closeness. The egoistic and the critical lose God’s love and as a result are not able to fill their relationships with that love. A loveful bond with God means being happy in His company and sharing that happiness with your eyes, face and your words and actions with others. A remembrance of God at the Brahma Kumaris in meditation is often done in a gathering to share the vibrations of peace, love and joy with others sitting with you through your eyes or vision. That is why we at the Brahma Kumaris meditate with open eyes. So taking and giving go side by side, remembrance of God and serving others go side by side.

To be truly truthful is to reveal the truth at the right time and the right place.

Checking:When you are speaking the truth check if anyone is hurt or upset. also check if you are yourself feeling comfortable or not while speaking about it. When the truth is told in the right way, it does not cause sorrow to anyone.

Practice: When you feel that someone needs to be told the truth, make the practice of asking yourself first, ‘is it the right time and the right place for this to be told or could there be a better time and place than this.’ Your action should be based on this answer.

God And I - The Relationship We Share (Part 2)

Experiencing God with you while going to your office, experiencing Him while having a meal, sleeping in His lap are some of our common experiences at the Brahma Kumaris. Also, talking to Him when faced with a challenge, holding his hand when in trouble and taking support are some more experiences. These are the same experiences which you might also have gone through even if you are not attached to a particular spiritual organization. But the one important thing that we would like to share with you is that even we, in our journey with the Brahma Kumaris, define being with God in a different way as we spend more and more time with Him. So say 5-6 years ago, we used the same words – we love God and enjoy being with Him throughout the day, but the same words mean a lot more now than what they meant 5-6 years ago. Today we experience God much closely than we did, say a few years ago. God keeps revealing Himself more and more as we become cleaner and purer even at the most subtle level of the consciousness.

So it’s the same God and it’s the same me but our consciousness has changed in say 5 years because of which God is inspired to fill us more and more with His divine experiences. Also, a walk with God with His hand in our hand today means something much more beautiful than what it meant at that time. Also don’t forget the same experience will be much more deeper after the next 3-4 years. So God does not change but because He reveals different characteristics of His personality from time to time we grow closer and closer to Him. Also, a companionship with God at all levels of thought, word and action takes a newer meaning everyday. Based on this type of spiritual life which keeps becoming more and more beautiful everyday, we welcome you to the centers of the Brahma Kumaris to learn meditation. Also, we welcome you to join us in these life changing experiences of seeing God as closely as what you might ever be able to imagine.

When you renounce desire, you can achieve your fortune.

Checking:At the end of each day, check if through out the day you had experienced unhappiness. Also check if your unhappiness is because of the desire that you have. Where there is desire there is unhappiness.

Practice: In order to enjoy what’s there in your fortune, each day make the practice firm, ‘I get what is right for me according to my fortune. I have no desire because desire only gives me sorrow.’

God And I - The Relationship We Share (Part 1)

A beautiful lesson which we learn at the Brahma Kumaris is to keep God with us in every action throughout the day. The type of remembrance varies according to the action we are performing and also changes depending on the setting we are in, like whom we are talking to, whether we are silent or our mind is busy in something. Also whether the action we are performing at that time is something we have to give a lot of mental attention to like driving a car or is it an action like taking a walk in the park which involves lesser mental attention. The energies of our mind and intellect are used in remembrance. We have to keep that in mind and decide how we will keep God as a companion with us at every moment. There are various different methods of keeping a positive consciousness through the direct or indirect remembrance of God. They say God resides in clean temples only – that means if our mind is absolutely clean, we can experience God extremely closely. There are some people in the world for whom God is an extremely close companion who will tell them everything that is required to experience success in every sphere of life. They are so close enough to God that they can have a sweet conversation with God anytime in which He can give clear and absolutely true instructions for the required moment based on the scenes which He can see from above. Sometimes, we are completely unaware of these scenes, since they are hidden from our physical eyes.

Very often we are so busy in performing actions, that our inner mental connection with God is cut off and we do not realize it. What is the right type of positive mindset to experience a pure connection with God, our spiritual Father and Mother, throughout the day, in different actions, is something that God has shared with us at the Brahma Kumaris. This has made us rich with His power filled company. Our every action needs to be filled with the love filled company of the Highest of Highest and the most beautiful being that exists - God.

The one who has the consciousness of being the ruler of his own thoughts is the one who is fortunate.

Checking:When others say anything negative to you, check if you are being influenced by their thoughts, which make you think negative too or if you are able to guide your thoughts as you wish.

Practice: Each day begin your day with the practice, “I am the ruler of my thoughts and it is me who is in control of my thoughts and no one else.” Also remind yourself of this thought and you can see the picture of your fortune in the mirror of your life.

The Hurting Of The Ego (Part 2)

Continuing from yesterday’s message, we commonly use the terms - my ego got hurt or I think your ego got hurt. You hurt my ego is nothing but you hurt or harmed the image that I carry of myself (as discussed yesterday) with me each second everyday. Because I carry it with me all the time, I have become attached to it. e.g. If, on a particular day, you reach home late from office and your wife, who is angry with you, accuses of not being a family man and one who doesn't give enough time to her and the children. Your reasons for reaching home late may be genuine or not, your wife may be right or wrong on that particular day. In either case, you carry an image of yourself, all the time, as being a very loving, caring father and husband, who has been responsible for the all-round growth and development of the family in all respects since the family was created. Your wife's words basically pinch that invisible image, as a result of which you feel insulted and hurt and you react angrily, not necessarily in front of your wife, but it could be in front of someone else or even just internally. This phenomenon happens many times, in various different situations with different people throughout the day and every day.

The image that we all carry of our selves is made of various traits or characteristics, obviously the characteristics of each one's self-created image are different. These characteristics of the image may or may not actually exist inside the real self, but whenever someone challenges any of those characteristics or tries to suggest to us that one of those characteristics is not ours or does not exist inside us, we react.

When you are full you will be overflowing and will be able to bring benefit to others.

Checking:Throughout the day, check if you are able to be a giver. Also when others are seeking support from you and you are not able to give what they are expecting, check if your own treasure is full.

Practice: Take a thought each day that you have to be a giver. In order to be a giver, continue to fill your own treasure store. Keep filling yourself with all that you are getting throughout the day.

The Hurting Of The Ego (Part 1)

Almost everyday or every second day we come across a situation when someone says something to us which is not very pleasurable or we chose to perceive it to be so. In either case, we feel insulted and get upset as a result. In some cases we react and display our feelings. In some, we don't. In either case, the result is a depreciation (decrease) in our happiness index. Why does this happen? It's because you have created, attached to and identified with an image of yourself in your mind that does not match with how the other sees or perceives you, as a result of which you believe you have been insulted and you get upset.

As long as people's perception of you matches the image that you have created inside your mind of yourself, you are content with them, but as soon as the opposite happens, even if it is to a very small extent, you become disturbed, because you are attached to that image. The more the attachment, the greater the hurt, the disturbance or reaction. You could examine this phenomenon very closely, taking place inside yourself everyday. This kind of attachment mentioned above is called ego. That's why the phenomenon explained above is called in common language the hurting of the ego.

In tomorrow’s message, we shall explain this phenomenon further with an example.

Swing in the swing of happiness and all labouring will finish.

Checking:In all that you do throughout the day, check if you are enjoying each and everything that you are doing. If you do find anything difficult, check if it is because of your own thinking or if the thing is really difficult.

Practice: Each morning take a thought, ‘I will do my best in all that I do and I will enjoy each and everything that the day demands of me. Today nothing is difficult for me.’ Practice in this way and all difficulties will finish.

A Vision Of Goodness For Everyone (Part 3)

Everyday, when you begin performing actions, watch everyone with goodness in your eyes and heart. Tell yourself and visualize how God is looking at each one in the world. Always bring in front of your eyes, God’s love and good wishes for that particular person, who is in front of you, that particular person who is sometimes not very well-behaved and possesses a negative nature. You find it difficult to interact comfortably and peacefully with him or her. Now keeping this positive wisdom in your mind, create a positive attitude for the person. Now based on that attitude, keep a positive vision for the other person. The more your vision remains positive, the more your words and actions will become beautiful and positive towards the other person. And the more the words and actions are pure and nice, the more the person will change as you want, into a nice person. This is the secret for changing a person from not so nice into nice. Our consciousness influences our attitude; our attitude influences our vision; our vision influences our words and actions. All of them together radiate the positive energy of goodness to the other person. This positive energy transforms the other person’s nature positively. This process is called world transformation through self transformation or the other’s transformation through my transformation.

So, we live in a world, where sometimes we will see the negative in people, whether at home or in our workplace or in that marketplace. Also, sometimes we will perceive people to be bad, although they are not. But take care that you don’t ever leave your goodness. God sees so much negativity in the entire world but He never leaves His vision of goodness for everyone. He uses the knowledge of human beings that He possesses, the knowledge that everyone was pure and positive when they came into this world and lost their goodness over many lives; to keep His vision positive and also keeps good wishes of change for everyone. So be good, see good and make others good with that vision of goodness. Don’t leave your goodness in the ocean of imperfections that surrounds you in the entire world.

The way to become victorious is to face and overcome obstacles.

Checking:Throughout the day you would surely be coming across many situations where you have to face obstacles. Check your thoughts at that time. Is there a wish for the obstacle not to have come at all? If there are any such thoughts you will never be victorious.

Practice: Take a thought in the morning, ‘I am ready to face all the situations that the day brings even if they seem like obstacles. It is the duty of obstacles to come and it is my duty to become victorious. And if the obstacle never comes I can never call myself victorious.’
