"Rising Above Limits (Part 1)" ➤ Positive Reflections on 5 July 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-07-05 Rising Above Limits & Mental Barriers (Part 1) ⇦ ⇨ Rising above mental limitations, which are obstacles in our life journey and slow our progress towards our life goals, is an important spiritual skill that we need to be trained in. A limitation or a barrier is a self created thought which reduces our power of determination and power to succeed in any life sphere. Suppose I have a broken relationship with a loved one, like a parent or a sibling (brother or sister) or a life partner. ➤This causes a belief to set inside my mind that I have been unsuccessful in handling a relationship well. The belief can result in a negative perception that all relationships are sorrow giving. When that perception then starts flowing in our actions and people whom we are close to do not receive the positive energy from us which they should, it starts affecting relationships negatively. ➤Also, sometimes we do not know why a particular person is distancing himself from us when our words and actions towards the person are what they are expecting? In these cases, our mind has been imprisoned by an incorrect belief like the one shared above and that has affected our perception of the other person negatively. The energy of that perception constantly travels to the other person and hits him or her which causes the other person to respond to us in a manner which is different from what we would like them to. ➤So, the mental limit is in the background in these cases. It is a self-limiting thought or series of thoughts which we constantly create either consciously or sub-consciously. Suppose, I have fared badly in a school exam in one year. As a result, I have formed a series of mental barriers in our mind like – I am not so sharp or competitive or I am a nervous exam giver or I am not so intelligent or I cannot succeed. Such barriers are strong mental forces which are like hammers hitting on our mind and personality. This causes a negative impact on future events of the same nature, in this case the giving of another school exam. (To be continued tomorrow...) Suggested Link ➔ "Godly Revelations"

Life: Trust & Patience : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2026-09-14 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Life: Trust & Patience Patience is the strength to stay 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦, 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 & 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 while life unfolds in its own time. It helps you respond "wisely" instead of reacting emotionally, protecting your 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, and improving your decisions. With patience, you can 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙨, 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨, and 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 without becoming discouraged. It turns waiting into growth—building 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 in the process—so you can move forward with "clarity" and "grace", even when results aren’t immediate. Patience isn't passive waiting but 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—continuing to 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚜, 𝚗𝚞𝚛𝚝𝚞𝚛𝚎 𝚐𝚛𝚘𝚠𝚝𝚑, 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚙𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚌𝚎 even when the harvest feels distant. True patience transforms us from anxious seekers into confident knowers, teaching us that 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 and every seeming setback is actually "a divine setup" for something far greater than we originally imagined. Those who master patience discover that the waiting periods aren't empty spaces but "fertile ground" where 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴, 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴. 𝐁𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, you stop fighting against the current of life and instead "allow" your desires to ripen fully, ensuring that when your blessings finally arrive, you have the "wisdom" and "maturity" to sustain them. When you cultivate patience, you "align" yourself with the natural rhythms of the universe, understanding that the most magnificent oak trees grow slowly but stand for centuries, and the most profound transformations happen not overnight but through the gentle, persistent work of divine love unfolding in perfect timing. Suggested ➔ Learn "RajYog meditation" Quote of the day "Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting." There is a deep connection between patience and trust in life’s unfolding journey. Patience is not about passively waiting for things to happen but about maintaining a positive, calm, and trusting mindset during times of uncertainty or delay. It's easy to feel anxious or frustrated when progress seems slow, but true patience comes from "accepting the flow of life" with an open heart, knowing that things will align when the time is right. This approach doesn’t just help us endure, but enables us to grow through the waiting process, turning challenges into opportunities for personal development and deeper understanding.

So each and every thing I do would be for the improvement for the self . Due to this, there would be divinity and speciality seen in everything that is done. This would also bring awareness of all the resources and they would also be used in a worthwhile way. Experience : When I am aware of my own role and what I contribute through my specialties, I recognize the fact that I am a beautiful instrument of God.

Strengthening Your Shield Of Positivity : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-08-18 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Strengthening Your Shield Of Positivity We are all going through turbulent times and life throws at us arrows of different negative situations again and again. We all carry a shield of positivity, which we use to protect ourselves from these different negative situations. Sometimes our shield is not strong enough and some arrows in the battlefield of life hit us hard and we get emotionally wounded as a result. Let us explore in this message how do we make our shield of positivity stronger➤ 1 ● Always keep one positive thought of spiritual wisdom in your consciousness in the entire day. An empty mind weakens our shield of positivity. 2 ● Keep God's company with you at every step. God is an Ocean of peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and truth. These virtues will make your shield of positivity stronger. 3 ● Apply the full stop when challenged by difficult situations. Don't create a large number of negative and waste thoughts and magnify the situation. 4 ● Tell yourself worry is a negative energy. By worrying, the negative arrows that life is throwing at you, will take advantage of you and hit you hard. 5 ● Keep yourself busy when there is a negative situation. The more you do that, the more your soul power will not get wasted and you will remain strong. 6 ● Emerge the power to face inside you. Remember the battle can only be won when you don't give up. This will attract solutions and take you to safety where the arrows can no longer hit you. 7 ● Giving is a beautiful art of performing positive and pure actions. By sharing qualities and powers with others, we send our arrows of positivity in the battlefield of life and they will bring the negative arrows down. 8 ● Practice the art of introversion. Just like the tortoise goes inside its shell, detach yourself from your sense organs and feel your inner being and your shield will protect you well. Suggested ➔ Read Article: "Celibacy" Quote of the day "The one who works to remove the sorrow of others is the one who is loved by all" Expression : When there is the one aim of helping to remove the sorrow of others, there will be nothing negative while dealing with others. There will also be no expectations from others . Working with the natural desire to bring benefit to as many as possible , enables one to continue to contribute to whatever extent possible. Experience : When I am able to have this one desire of helping others be more happy, I am able to make a contribution for others' happiness and progress . I then find that others naturally appreciate my selfless contribution and their good wishes help me feel light and experience progress. Previous Next day

3 Incorrect Happiness Beliefs & the Truth (Part 2) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-09-10 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ 3 Incorrect Happiness Beliefs & the Truth (Part 2) Yesterday we identified how owing to one wrong belief, we thought that happiness depends on our achievements. Today, let us check two more incorrect happiness beliefs and understand the truth. 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝟮: "𝙸 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚋𝚞𝚢 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜" Suppose I believe that buying my dream car gives me happiness. I may purchase and own the most expensive car. I have essentially bought physical comfort. While on a long drive in it, I could get one phone call conveying an unpleasant news which finishes my happiness. If my car gave happiness, happiness would stay despite the call. Even after the call, my car continues to give physical comfort and my physical body is comfortable. Since happiness is an emotional comfort, it disappeared when I (who is looking for happiness) went into pain after the call. Why do we feel happy upon buying a car? Because when we create a thought - I bought my dream car, it generates a feeling of happiness. So, we used an object (car) as a stimulus to create a response (positive thought). 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: Let us not purchase objects seeking happiness in them. Everything physical is designed to give physical comfort. Happiness is an emotional comfort. 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝟯: "𝙵𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚜 𝚐𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚎 𝚑𝚊𝚙𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜" Moving between acceptance and expectations, our relationships are getting strained. We focus on what to get from relationships rather than what to give. Our expectations from each other are increasing. We are accepting people only when they, speak, behave as per our needs. If I equate my happiness to others obeying me, it cannot last. As soon as someone obeys the first time, I give them my next expectation. So, happiness leaves me at this point, only to return if the person obeys again. Otherwise, I get upset. People have their definitions of rights and wrongs, so setting expectations will always spoil relationships and reduce your happiness. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: No one can make us happy or sad. Happiness is our emotion, our internal creation regardless of the quality of our relationships. Suggested ➔ Video: "Golden Age" (Eng) Quote of the day "To be a well wisher means to think of changing first" Expression : Being a well wisher just doesn’t mean wishing others well. It also means having good wishes for the self and having the pure desire to bring about a change for the better in the self. So whatever the kind of situations, instead of just judging others and what they need to change, the one who is a well-wisher constantly brings about transformation in the self . Experience : For having worked on myself under all circumstances and having used every situation as a chance for self-progress, I constantly enjoy every-thing that comes my way. I have no expectations , but just think of benefit for others and myself. I then never find any situation to be an obstacle, but use it as a step for progress. Previous Next day

The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 4) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-12-19 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 4) Loving God in the right manner is also an important aspect of our lives in which God is also just like all our other relationships, although a very important one. Playing a role of child or friend to God also requires certain ways of acting and creating thoughts of love for Him. E.g. To always ask more and more from God and not think of returning enough is also an incorrect way of being God’s close one. ➤Also, changing oneself to become like God is being a true loved one of God. Qualities like love, happiness, contentment, and even a clean heart and truthfulness make you worthy of receiving God’s beautiful sustenance and support when you are facing difficult situations in life’s journey. At these times, you need God’s help, without which you cannot come out of them. ➤Another important relationship with God is one of a teacher and a student, in which God helps us become full of many divine qualities apart from spiritual knowledge of course. In this relationship, we need to realize the importance of the effort made by God as a Supreme Teacher. Also, we need to realize how we should give back to Him for all the energy and time that He spends on us in making us perfect human beings and lifting our spiritual intelligence to high levels, which is required to become pure and perform good actions. Another relationship with God that we sometimes forget to play is one in which God is like a child who takes care of us in different ways. ➤He does this in return for all the love that we shower on Him and also all the respect we give Him because He is like a constant spiritual power canopy on us. His eyes never stop looking upon us and protecting us from all the difficulties that we might face. Also, whenever you remember God as the Supreme guru, it means following all the instructions that He gives. It also means having a stage of purity when coming into contact with others, which is a stage similar to God’s. This makes you worthy of His constant good wishes which keep you light and happy. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ "God's Way of Helping" Quote of the day "Being happy means spreading rays of happiness throughout the world" Thoughts to ponder : When there is a problem in a particular relationship, we are unable to think constructively about that person. It becomes difficult to remove the negative environment created by our negative attitude. This only makes the relationship and the situation worse. Process : The only way to improve a relationship is to change our own attitude towards that person and create a positive environment. This inner, silent change creates a positive impact on people through subtle vibrations. By changing my attitude, I create a more beautiful world for myself and others. My presence there has a positive impact on people. Previous Next day

A Healthy Emotional Diet for the Mind (Part 3) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-01-06 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ A Healthy Emotional Diet for the Mind (Part 3) In yesterday’s message, we saw the impact of listening to people who talk to us about things we can do nothing about and decided to we stop listening to them. To do this, most of us tend to tell the other person – Let us not waste our time. Actually, we must say – Let us conserve our energy. We may all have time on our side but we are already weak emotionally. Indulging in waste conversations depletes us further. The below options help us to stay away from a negative emotional diet. Using any of them will be beneficial to us, to the person talking to us, and to the one being talked about – 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 ➤ Have the power and ability to decline politely but assertively that we do not want to listen about anyone else’s issues, sanskars or behavior. We need to handle the situation exactly the way we consciously watch our physical diet – we refuse to eat certain negative things, regardless of how tempting they are, or how lovingly they are offered. Let us extend this discipline hereby plainly refusing a poor emotional diet. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮 ➤ Progress the conversation from being problem-oriented to solution-oriented. Shift the focus on how the person talking to us should handle the situation, so that issues he or she has with the other person are resolved. We are then discussing about the Sanskar of the person talking to us and not the Sanskar of the person who is not present. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯 ➤ Shift the perspective of the person talking to us. We can help them look at all the positives in the person they are talking about. When complaining about someone, people fail to acknowledge the good qualities of the person they complain about. 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟰 ➤ Let us not be passive listeners, quietly nodding at everything being said. It gives rise to our approval of the views. Too often, we hear out someone in the name of courtesy, obligation, or fear that our refusal to listen will hurt our relationship. Just as we do not feel bad when refusing to eat anything unhealthy for the body, we should refuse anything unhealthy for our mind. It’s good for us and them. (continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ How to Make Friends Quote of the day "Mercy, Kindness, Courage" When I have mercy for others, I am able to accept their feelings, emotions and behaviour and provide them with the right kind of mental support. Then I am able to give them courage without being influenced negatively with their feelings of pain and sorrow. Previous Next day

Prioritizing inner transformation over external rituals. It suggests that while lighting physical lamps is an important tradition, the ultimate goal is to ignite the "lamp within"—our own consciousness, wisdom, and self-awareness. This inner light has the power to dispel the "darkness of ignorance," which represents negative qualities like ego, greed, and prejudice. The festival, therefore, serves as a powerful annual reminder to focus on self-improvement and spiritual awakening, making the victory of light over darkness a personal and internal reality.

"Returning to Original Goodness (P2)" ➤ Positive Reflections on 27 Oct 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-10-27 Return to Original State of Goodness (Part 2) ⇦ ⇨ Niceness at the level of our personality is original and our false or negative personality characteristics are acquired. A person who has been bad all his life is actually a very good soul or being originally and a person who has been good all his life is a much better soul or being originally. This is because we don’t limit our vision to a one birth reality because that is a false reality. ➤A true reality is one of many births. A human being is temporary but a being is eternal. So, a being, which we call a soul, is nice when it begins to play its role in the birth-rebirth story of life. It is full of seven qualities – peace, joy, love, bliss, purity, power and truth. As it begins to play its role, it is not only full but is always radiating these qualities to others. This is called a no-expectations stage of the soul. As a result, it is constantly happy and overflowing with contentment. ➤As the soul passes a few births in its role play, it loses these qualities and starts asking for these qualities from God and others around it. Slowly, the soul becomes expectation filled and the seven original qualities inside it begin to decrease. Such a soul is not able to play relationships well and positively and also experiences hurt and pain in different ways. ➤Although it receives some qualities from God in worship, it is unable to go to its original state of fulfillment, until it has complete knowledge of the self and God and also the Law of Karma. This knowledge is called spiritual knowledge and the only one, who has it in complete truth, is God. This knowledge from God helps us become full of all qualities and powers and as a result nicer beings or souls. (To be continued tomorrow...) Suggested Link ➔ "Om Shanti" meaning
