Does Likes On Social Media Matter? : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2025-03-28 ⇦ ⇨ Does Likes On Social Media Matter? In a social media-driven society, getting public approval on what we post is becoming a yardstick for our self-worth and fame. Most of us post something that we believe people will appreciate and start monitoring it for Likes and positive comments. The more we get, the more we want. Getting fewer or negative responses upsets us, and we become vulnerable to people’s opinions. 1● Do you use social media for public validation? Do you post something and then wait patiently (or impatiently) for people to notice it, like it, or comment on it? Do more Likes make you feel accepted, and a lack of Likes make you anxious? 2● Social media is a beautiful platform to share useful information and connect with people. But today, people who hardly speak face-to-face, are actively sharing posts or posting observations on social media. They are concerned about having an online audience that give them attention and appreciation. 3● Let us use social media responsibly to share content that we Like and that is beneficial. After that, it shouldn’t matter if it garners 100 Likes or zero Likes. In fact, we don’t even need to keep checking it for response, because people’s opinions on our posts cannot correlate to our popularity or self-worth. 4● Take control over your social media usage. You don’t require people on social media to validate how peaceful or beautiful your life is. Remind yourself – I use social media to share what I like. I do not need other people to Like it. Suggested ➔ How to Make Friends? Quote of the day "Paying attention to every action is like being a hero" Thought : The role of a hero appeals to everyone. Everyone wants to be in a position to gain public recognition. When people praise us, we feel good – when they don’t, we feel disappointed. We depend on others to make us feel good about ourselves. But other people’s opinions are not trustworthy. Process : When I focus on everything I do, I become a hero. I need to make sure that none of my words or actions are wasted or ordinary. Furthermore, I will try to do everything I do well. Thus, when I focus, I can give my best at all times. I will feel satisfied knowing that the importance of how well I do is more important than what I do. Previous Next day

Hold On To Your Values : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2025-09-16 ⇦ ⇨ Hold On To Your Values Becoming our best selves is less about adding new traits and more about steadfastly holding on to our existing virtues. It’s easy to mirror others—responding kindly when treated well and reacting poorly when met with negativity—but letting someone else’s behavior dictate ours erodes our character. Hold fast to your principles even when the world around you seems to abandon them. ➤Expecting others to match your goodness sets you up for disappointment, and copying harmful behavior gradually pulls you away from your values. Instead of trading integrity for convenience, remember that your principles—honesty, kindness, patience—are strengths, not liabilities. Other people may lack what you have, or they may possess different strengths; that doesn’t justify surrendering your own. ➤Make your values nonnegotiable: practice them consistently with everyone and in every situation, without expecting reciprocity. Treat your qualities as assets you radiate, independent of others’ conduct. Repeat this affirmation: “I use my virtues with everyone, regardless of the situation”—and let it guide your actions. Suggested ➔ Learn "7 Virtues of Soul" Quote of the day "One who removes the suffering of others is loved by all" Whether through compassion, practical help, or simply a listening presence, it creates deep human bonds and earns universal respect. Acts that ease burdens restore dignity, inspire gratitude, and ripple outward, strengthening communities and nurturing trust. Such generosity transcends culture and circumstance; by putting others’ welfare first, a person becomes a source of comfort and hope, naturally attracting affection and enduring admiration.

The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-12-16 ⇦ ⇨ The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 1) We all live in a world where love is the most precious virtue or quality that exists and we are all souls full of love. It’s only when we lose access to our inner treasure of love that we start expecting love from others and begin searching for it outside, others. We even search from the physical world, which we commonly call flora and fauna. Flora refers to plants around us and fauna refers to animals. ➤It is not wrong to love and be loved by humans and nature. That is not searching for love. Giving love to humans and animals and receiving love from them and also loving plants and nature in general, has existed in the world right from the time the world was a beautiful paradise. That paradise was full of happiness, love, and purity. That world is also called the Garden of Eden or Garden of Allah or Swarg commonly called the Golden Age or heaven. ➤There is a difference between receiving love and experiencing happiness because of that and searching for it from others. Also, when we make ourselves dependent on this love to remain happy, it means there is an emptiness inside us. The love that makes us empty instead of filling us and giving us a feeling of fulfillment is a love based on a physical consciousness. ➤On the other hand, a love based on soul consciousness is a love that does not attach itself to the other person so much, so as to bring about sorrow when it is not received or when the love is no longer available to us. This happens when the other person leaves us or stops talking to us or goes away or does not love us anymore for some reason or the other. (Continued tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ What is True Love?? Quote of the day "Good wishes and pure feelings bring easy success while working at a task" Expression : If there are good feelings for both the task and the one who is carrying out the task, then the result attained by those feelings is automatically special. The feeling of giving love and cooperation, no matter what anyone is like gives good wishes and pure feelings. There is a deep impact of such good feelings that transforms others too. Experience : When I am able to maintain my own good feelings for others, I am able to enjoy the fruit of my own pure thoughts. I am not disturbed by the temporary clashes that I have because of the different nature of the person I am working with, but I enjoy working together. So there are also good feelings from the other person too and so there is easy success experienced. Previous Next day

Be Soul-conscious While Playing your Role : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-10-08 ⇦ ⇨ Be Soul-conscious While Playing your Role We are living in a time where an uncomfortable emotion like stress is being called acceptable, natural or normal by many of us burdened by our various roles. A student creates stress about exams and results, a professional worries about managing family and professional targets, and a retired person is anxious about health and finances. Stress is a result of our creation of wrong thoughts. Suppose I am an employee who knows that it takes two years to be promoted as a manager, I sincerely work for it. ➤But my own conditioned thoughts often get triggered - I definitely need this promotion as a manager but will it happen... what if it does not? So I remain uneasy and anxious not just today but for two more years. If one day I sense that my promotion may not happen for any reason, I may even resort to an unfair means to get it. This way I add more layers of anxiety, negativity and guilt to my current stress levels. ➤In this state if I get a promotion, can I play the role of a Manager well? I cannot because by now I have forgotten my nature of peace and happiness. I feel stressed about handling higher responsibilities. My efficiency reduces and I become weaker. I cannot do justice to a role that I had been chasing for so long. ➤Our first responsibility in any role is to take charge of the state of our mind by increasing inner strength. It gives us the power to remain stable in success or failure. In the above example stress is a result of my anxiety, fear and guilt for compromising on ethics. I had identified myself with the role of becoming a manager. I believed it was vital for my happiness and success. But is Manager who I really am? A significant cause of stress is our illusion, I am the role. ➤When we consider ourselves as the body instead of our inner selfs, we identify the self with our roles, achievements and possessions, which are our outer identities. We are actors in this world drama. We play many roles in our life. Let us not identify with our roles and forget the beautiful qualities of the inner self. The right consciousness is, I am a beautiful and virtuous being playing different roles. Role is temporary, the inner being is eternal. This understanding reduces our stress while playing the role and allows us to focus on values of the inner self – peace, love and joy, in every role. Suggested ➔ Video: "Discover Soul Within" Quote of the day "The virtues of honesty and courage bring success" Expression : The one who is courageous is never deterred by challenges, but moves on towards success. Combined with courage , is the virtue of honesty which allows one to be consistent, sincere, and true in the efforts put in. So success comes with proper effort and there is also humility visible in such a person. Experience : When I am courageous, but at the same time honest in my efforts that I put in for achieving success, I'll never have ego. I will be able to get the cooperation and goodwill of all, and especially the protection and the help of God. I will find myself moving slowly towards success with everything I do. Previous Next day

8 Keys To Exam Success (Part 2) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2025-01-22 ⇦ ⇨ 8 Keys To Exam Success (Part 2) A very important way of remaining stable in the days before exams and during the exam days or while facing any challenge of life is keeping a few positive thoughts full of inner peace, strength, and stability and repeating them in your mind a few times in the day e.g. I am a peaceful soul, full of inner strength. I remain stable in every situation or I study peacefully and I remain strong always. My studies are very easy and I take care of them easily. ➤These self-conversations can be done starting from the morning as soon as you wake up and ending in the night just before you go to sleep. Positive affirmations reduce your fear and increase your confidence and motivation levels. This could be done about 10-12 times a day, before eating and drinking anything. Secondly, always remember that God, who is the most powerful spiritual energy in the world, is my constant companion at every step. ➤Also, if I remember God a lot and leave the responsibility of my exam performance to Him, I will not get stressed myself. Talk to God while studying – God, you are my best friend and companion and I hold your hand to take me to my destination of success. In this way, you will remain extremely light. Experience God is sitting with you while studying and while taking the exam and you will not only remain light but you will perform in your exams with immense satisfaction and success. ➤Another method of remaining powerful and focused mentally during exams is visualizing a scene of success of your exam results, which you want to see happen in your life and which is important for your future, as defined by you and people close to you. Always think that I will perform excellently in my class or school or college. Even if you have many friends or student colleagues who are better in their studies than you, visualize your success with conviction. ➤A positive visualization will become a reality when filled with the energy of hope and determination. Fourthly, always think and believe that the good wishes of all my close loved ones are with me. The ones who have the blessings and positive energy of many people with them are more successful. So ensure that all the people you come in contact with, including your family members and close friends are giving you their love and support at all times. Also, take the help of your teachers and ensure that they are always thinking positively about your performance and always persuading you to do well. (Continued tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Read: "Guide to Success" Quote of the day "Truth Brings Humility" Thoughts : When one has a commitment to the truth, one has the courage to express this truth in all aspects. Even if others oppose or criticize, such a person is never affected. With humility, he is able to learn from everything that happens, and each lesson is used to move closer to the inner truth. Solution : When I am committed to the truth, it allows me to experience the beauty of everything that happens in my life. I realize that everything is a tool in bringing me closer to the truth. Thus, I remain humble and appreciative of everything and continue to learn. Previous Next day

Making My Vision Unbiased & Spiritual For Everyone : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-07-20 ⇦ ⇨ Making My Vision Unbiased & Spiritual For Everyone Connect to people through your original qualities of 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 & 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Your qualities are your own, use them with everyone, in every situation and every time. If you are polite with one person and egoistic with another, or if your behavior reflects the way others behave with you, your personality gets lost in the process. Even if no one around you is being right, don’t drift from your qualities. Our biases can create barriers between our own beliefs and reality. Sometimes we cannot justify why we prefer one person over another, why we dislike a place, or reject a product brand. The more biased we are, the more unreasonable we become. 1 ● Your appearance, position, culture, nationality, religion – are what you have acquired, it’s not who you are. So, don’t connect with people in a role-to-role or position-to-position manner. It creates thoughts of superiority or inferiority, leading to biases. 2 ● If your mind is not thinking right for someone or something, check if you are biased due to social conditioning or public approval. Correct the belief and change your opinion. 3 ● Remind yourself that you are a pure being, interacting with another pure being. Extend courtesies and follow social rules according to roles. However, respect is for the being, so it should not change according to people’s roles, faith, nationality, or any other factor. 4 ● Meet people with a clean mind, deleting past impressions you hold about them. Perceive them with a new way of thinking and a new behavior. Suggested ➔ Read "Soul & Consciousness" Quote of the day "Staying enthusiastic helps others improve" Points to think about : Problems can make us feel burdened by negative thoughts. A heavy mind prevents us from moving forward with enthusiasm. Then we find it difficult to help others progress. Procedure : I must make a special effort to stay upbeat no matter what circumstances I face. Enthusiasm gives me courage and enables me to use my unique talents to benefit others. Then, I can bring out the virtues within me and use them for the good of others. Previous Next day

Healthy Work-Life Balance : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-12-26 ⇦ ⇨ Healthy Work-Life Balance Life is fluid, there’s a need for us to shuffle responsibilities and distribute attention between all the aspects of life that support us. But do you find yourself heavily tilted towards one area alone? Maybe drowning in work due to stiff targets, neglecting self and family? Or an issue at home leaving you restless and under-performing at work? ➤Achieving work-life balance is a matter of prioritizing and sticking to it, no matter what. Focusing on the task at hand and strictly unplugging from everything else leaves us with so much more time and energy than we need. Let’s prioritize self first, family next, and work thereafter. Allocating time to nourish the mind and exercise the body helps us experience happy vibrations with family. ➤We can then step into our workplace with enthusiasm. And when we are happy at work, going back home happy becomes easy. In short, let’s do what is needed and switch off. No office calls when with family, no distractions when eating, and no compromise on sleep timings. This discipline brings a healthy balance in life. Remind yourself, that I have the art of balancing personal life and family time, work, and friendships. ➤The art of balancing different aspects of life needs a little practice and persistence. It also needs a fierce determination to never totally give up on one of them when the other seems a priority. We say – This quarter my projects have very demanding targets, so all my attention has to be on work. ➤This means for 3 months – for 90 days – we carry an energy of hurry, anxiety, and turbulence. We may not also focus enough on health, family time, or social life. And then after 3 months, chances are that projects in the subsequent quarter are also equally challenging, if not more. So, this creates an imbalance, with time and energy heavily tilted towards the career. It’s critical to prioritize, but let’s make sure every aspect of life gets equal attention. Suggested ➔ HOW to keep Balance? Quote of the day "Enrich from Life Experiences" When I can humbly learn from all situations. I am able to enrich my own knowledge. This knowledge further enables me to become more and more practical. So during all difficult situations, I am able to remain light and internally stable. There will be no fluctuation experienced within, whatever the challenges may be. Previous Next day

Love Isn't About Meeting Expectations : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2025-07-08 ⇦ ⇨ Love Isn't About Meeting Expectations Love isn’t a contract of checkboxes or a performance review; it’s the wide-open sky where two hearts soar without fear of falling short. When love is freed from expectations, it blossoms in pure presence—no scripts, no scorecards, just the joy of being truly seen and treasured. In that boundless space, affection flows effortlessly, unburdened by “shoulds,” and two souls discover the real magic: the grace of loving and being loved just as they are. Take this moment to teach your mind that when people are not our way, it does not imply they do not love us. ✱ 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ✱ I am a happy being. I am happy being my way. I do not have expectations from anyone. I do not seek love from them. I am love... I radiate love to all. I give advice... without expectations. People may or may not obey me... They love me... but they may not be able to do as I say... I don’t equate their actions with their love for me. They love me but cannot do what I ask them to do at the moment... they cannot listen to me... they are unable to implement my suggestion... they behave as per their thought process…their nature…their capacity... their priority... which may not match with mine. I understand them. I do not expect them to be my way... I talk to my mind... I explain to it their perspective. My mind does not question their love for me... it listens to me and calms down. I respond with an energy of love and respect. I need nothing from anyone. Repeat this affirmation a few times to change the definition that whoever loves us does exactly what we want them to do. Once you detach love from expectations, understanding people and accepting them becomes natural. Suggested ➔ Read: "What is True Love?" Quote of the day "Forgiving yourself means having the ability to forgive others as well" Thought : When others make mistakes, it can be difficult to forgive them. We have a tendency to keep repeating them to ourselves. Even though we try hard to understand why they made the mistake, we often find it difficult to understand. When we cannot understand the other person’s behavior, it is difficult for us to forgive them. Process : When I love myself and learn from everything that happens, I can forgive myself. I can use what I have learned to improve. I can understand other people's perspectives and forgive them. Previous Next day

Worrying Is Not Caring (Part 2) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-02-04 ⇦ ⇨ Worrying Is Not Caring (Part 2) We are all linked together at a subtle, invisible level, and communicate with others invisibly. We not only send but also pick up the energy that others radiate. We demonstrate with an example how this can work positively as well as negatively when we find ourselves in negative situations in our practical lives. ➤Suppose the class teacher of your child (we take the example of your son) calls up and says that while playing in the school playground, your son has injured himself. She doesn’t explain much but says there is nothing to worry about. She requests you to come and pick him up from the school. At this point in time, your son is radiating his own spiritual energy which is most probably the negative energy of fear, stress, anxiety, and sorrow (although the teacher has informed you that he is fine). ➤At the same time, he is also picking up your subtle spiritual or mental energy. You are driving to his school to pick him up. At this point of time, you only have a rough idea of what situation he is in exactly at that moment because you are physically far away from him. Guessing about the exact situation is making assumptions and is a waste of your mental energy. ➤If you make negative assumptions i.e. you worry and are scared, then you are sending him the same vibrations of fear, a negative energy, which he is going to pick up and it is not going to empower or help him in any way but is more likely to weaken and disturb him and even disturb you in your driving. You have been told that there is nothing to worry but still, you know he is in a slightly difficult emotional situation. What will help him? He needs your support, but what will support him the most – we are talking about subtle support because you are going to take some time to reach the school and provide him physical support? ➤Your vibration/thought of fear which you may mistakenly call concern or care as you imagine something bad has happened? Or the positive vibrations of your unconditional love and your good wishes, which is true concern or care? What will you send him to support him from far away? Worry vibrations or the vibrations of love in the form of your good wishes for him? Vibrations of love will keep you also in a positive state as you drive through the city. Besides, what is care or concern? It is you sending your positive inner spiritual light to help another and worry is definitely not that. Suggested ➔ Learn About God Quote of the day "Remember God All the Time" Some souls (people) remember God only when they find a difficult change in their life to deal with. But it is wiser to remember God all the time. The deeper the connection the sooner God gives us directions and protects us in the wave of change and also guides us through it. Previous Next day

The Spiritual Way Of Cooking & Eating (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-10-21 ⇦ ⇨ The Spiritual Way Of Cooking & Eating (Part 1) Mother, what are you making for dinner tonight? Please make something delicious! Children often request the menu for their meals to their mothers. Mothers are often in a hurry to finish their cooking work for the day and also eager to fulfill the tastes of their children and other family members. Often mothers relax at the end of the day after having spent their energies on the minutest details of their meals – the vegetables, the salt, the spices, the oil, the pulses, the wheat flour, and the rice. ➤They take care that food is prepared accurately, leaving no room for error. The objective is to satisfy everyone's tastes and experience blessings from the family. How come, in spite of this positive exterior feeling to this family setting, there lie underneath negative subtle energies, which sometimes prevent the food from being spiritually energizing, although it may be very tasty to eat? ➤𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝, 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲, 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. This is because of the subtle connection that exists between the physical body and the non-physical mind causing both of them to influence each other. You have heard of how food cooked by a mother tastes better than the food cooked by a maid. Why? Because of the purity of purpose. ➤The mother is absorbed in the love of her family while cooking the meals and the maid cooks because she earns from the task, which she experiences as hard at times. The mother will cook with a higher purpose which is reflected in the food quality and the energy its every bite carries invisibly. So food should be cooked in pure love, a love without any dependencies, attachments, or fear, and full of positivity. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ "Journey to Self-discovery" Quote of the day "The more I conquer my weaknesses , the more good it is for me and others" Points to think about : A common result is to react to our weaknesses in situations that threaten us. And with that effect lies the problem: every time we use our weaknesses, they become stronger and become imprinted on our nature. Procedure : It is important for me to remember that only when I free myself from my weakness can I bring good to others and to myself. This thought helps me to overcome my shortcomings and keep trying. Previous Next day

"Raksha Bandhan (Part 3)" ➤ Positive Reflections on 30 Aug 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-08-30 Raksha Bandhan: Bond of Purity & Protection (Part 3) ⇦ ⇨ The festival of Raksha Bandhan begins with exchange of greetings, applying tilak, tying the sacred thread, offering sweets and then exchanging gifts. 1 ● 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 ➤ Our every thought and word for everyone should be a blessing. Irrespective of their sanskars and behaviours, we create only pure and positive thoughts and words which empower them to change their sanskars. We radiate blessings to them which become their reality and change their destiny. Let us delete all the past hurt that we are still holding on to, because they have radiated impure and negative vibrations to us. 2 ● 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗸 ➤ We apply the tilak at the center of the forehead, as a reminder to open the third eye, the seat of the soul. Applying tilak means to awaken to the reality that I am not this body, roles and relationships. I am a divine soul and each one I interact with is the same. This finishes our body consciousness of everything that we have acquired in this life. Body consciousness is the foundation of all vices. Soul consciousness is the foundation of all virtues. 3 ● 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐢 ➤ Rakhi is derived from the word Raksha, meaning protection. Tying a rakhi is symbolic of our pledge to use our original sanskars of purity and love in every thought, word and action, which is our protection. When it remains tied on our wrist, a Rakhi is a reminder about the promise we have made to our own self and God. 4 ● 𝗦𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 ➤ It is a reminder that our thoughts, feelings, intentions and words must always be sweet. This creates harmony in our relationships. 5 ● 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬 ➤ Let us choose any addiction, habit or sanskar which has been troubling us and give it up on this Raksha Bandhan. This is the best gift we can give ourselves, our family and to God. Suggested Link ➔ Article of "Raksha Bandhan"
