Be free from repeating mistakes.

----------------------------------------------------------

Message for the day 30-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To listen to others fully is to be able to be free from repeating mistakes.

Projection: When there is criticism that comes one's way, it should be carefully analysed to see if there is any truth in it. If there is correction can be made accordingly. On the other hand, if others' criticism is ignored or there is a tendency to defend oneself, there cannot be any correction and mistakes are repeated.

Solution: When I listen to others with honesty, I am able to discover even the most negligible aspect in my behaviour which I can change. So I find myself constantly improving and progressing and moving on towards success. So having brought about a change, even the criticism that comes my way stops.

Practical Exercises Of Self Transformation Through The Power Of Meditation

To switch on the power of awareness

------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 27-11-2010

----------------------------------------------------------
To switch on the power of awareness is to be free from being mood off.

Projection: To be mood off means to find excuses and reasons to feel negative - to have negative thoughts for the self or for the others. But if there is a strong powerful awareness in the mind, a positive thought about the self, there will not be a chance for a negative thought to enter the mind. So there will never be any reason to be mood off.

Solution: When I am able to maintain a single powerful thought, I am able to remain happy and content. I am not dependent on the external situations for the internal state of mind. Nor do I make external situations as an excuse to further weaken my own thoughts. So there is constantly a feeling of positivity under all circumstances.

Message for the day 23-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To contribute specialities is to have the power to cooperate.

Projection: Each individual is unique with his own unique set of capabilities. The one who is aware of his specialities and contributes them to any task is the one who is able to cooperate under all circumstances and with all people. There are no conditions attached to contribute these resources.

Solution: When I contribute to every task with my own specialities I have double satisfaction. I have the satisfaction of having contributed something and I am also free from expectations from others. I also find that because I am able to give unconditionally, others too are able to cooperate with me.

Message for the day 21-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
The one who has courage to bring about a change is free from excuses.

Projection: For the one who recognizes the need for bringing about a change, every situation is an excuse for doing something new. If there is no commitment to change in every situation, excuses are given and others are blamed. So there is nothing new that is done and nothing new achieved.

Solution: Life becomes very interesting for me when I am willing to take up the challenges that it brings. I am not afraid of new situations and challenges but am able to make the best out of the situation, I am free from fear and have the courage to bring about a change easily and naturally.

----------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 20-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To be accepting means to give a chance to the other person to change.

Projection: When someone makes a mistake there is usually a feeling of guilt and a lot of negative feelings. At such a time if there is understanding and love, it helps the other person bring about a change. There will be always an environment of positivity provided by the one who understands and accepts. So anyone in this environment can bring about a change with great ease.

Solution: Only when I am able to accept can I bring about a change in the other person. When I accept I am able to see what the other person is lacking and provide him with it. So I am actually giving the other person a chance to change. Also when I accept others and understand them, others too are able to accept me and love me as I am. I find my relationships becoming more and more beautiful.

Serving the World Through Meditation

By entering into meditative-consciousness, the soul is able to serve the whole world. Physical charity is limited to the physical plane. We can only be in one place at any one time and only with a few others, whom we serve. When the soul enters the consciousness of its original state, it is free and it can become a channel (medium) for God's qualities to flow to all others. In this state I am instantly in contact with all others because on this level, there are no physical divisions like distance etc. My thoughts and vibrations (mental energy waves) of peace, bliss and love can reach out and serve all at the same time.

Experience and visualize this simple meditation:

"I am a soul... a tiny star... like the Supreme Soul, Supreme Being...
radiating my original qualities... I become so small...
so detached from the name and form of the body...
and those associated with that name and form... just a soul...
so concentrated...
I travel with the power of thought to my incorporeal (non-physical) home – "paramdham", "shantidham"…
I am now in front of the Supreme Father... the Highest of Highest...
in the soft golden red light of this Highest Home…
receiving... receiving... and through me, His spiritual light is spreading to all souls,
which shine like stars on the world globe below …"


In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Meditation In Action

Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts.

----------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 15-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts.

Projection: When we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think about it so much that it is totally blown out of proportion and it seems bigger than it actually is. This leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let us work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain the way we are, not being able to bring about progress.

Solution: What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is to change our focus. Instead of thinking about the weakness, we only need to think, "I am not perfect yet, but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving." With such positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.

I am able to experience being powerful under all circumstances, as I am the master of the situation.

Going Beyond Others' Perception Of Us

To spread the light of happiness

----------------------------------------------------------
Message for the day 02-11-2010
----------------------------------------------------------
To spread the light of happiness is to become a spiritual lighthouse.

Projection: When we are in situations where there is negativity around or there seems to be no source of happiness, we too naturally tend to feel low and negative. We are totally under the influence of the situation and we can't seem to overcome the feeling at that time. Nothing actually inspires us to make effort to come out of such a feeling.

Solution: We need to remind ourselves that we are a lighthouse, a source of light to all those around us. This thought will give us the inspiration to remain stable and strong even when we are amidst chaos or difficult situations. We will be able to spread our light across and show everyone the right direction by becoming an inspiration to those around us.
