Who Is Responsible For My Destiny? : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-07-12 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Who Is Responsible For My Destiny? Many of us believe that God writes our destiny. We need to pause and introspect on this belief. If God wrote our destiny, two things would happen: First, since we are all children of God, all our destinies would have been equal. Second, as our parent, God would have written a perfect destiny for all of us. Today our destinies are neither equal, nor perfect. We also believe the Law of Karma which states - As is my Karma, so will be my destiny. Our karmas are not always perfect and we all do not perform identical karmas. So our destiny is neither perfect nor equal. ➤We need to ask our self which of these two beliefs feels right for us. Karma means action. Law of Karma is about action and reaction, or cause and effect. Karmic law is constantly working in our lives as Karma includes our every thought, every word and every action. As per the Law of Karma, every action - however small or important - has a result. The result is always fair. Right action brings a good result and wrong action brings a difficult one. Certain karmas may result in an immediate result. Other karmas may have a result coming back an hour later, a year later, 20 years later, 50 years later, or in a future birth. ➥We can connect the karma with the result in some cases. However, when we see the effects of karma on a subtle level, we will not be able to connect result with the karma, since the karma might have been performed many years ago or even in a past birth. So, we need not worry about that aspect of identifying the cause. It is enough if we remember that – 1 ● The Law of Karma is always accurate and always fair to everyone. 2 ● Our present situations are only a result of our past karmas. So, we are responsible for everything that happens to us. 3 ● Our present karma decides our future. So, we have the power to create our destiny. ➤We have all experienced the results of both right karmas and the wrong ones. Whether we believe in it or not, the Law Of Karma is continuously working in our lives. We need not fear the law but let us be aware of it. We also need to remember that Karma includes thoughts also, not just words and actions. So let us focus on right thinking, speaking and behaving, so that we create a beautiful destiny. Suggested ➔ Book: "Law of Karma" Quote of the day "To see only problems is to become the one who only takes service" Expression : When there is the practice of seeing only problems in all situations there is the inability to find solutions and act effectively. All the resources that could be used for the benefit of the self and others remain hidden. Such a person becomes dependent on others for finding solutions and a source of pity. Experience : When I am caught up with problems and not able to see anything else, I am unable to experience progress. I find myself moving backward losing a lot of things I have. I would not be able to retain my self-confidence and would become dependent on others. Previous Next day

"Let Go Of the Past (P1)" ➤ Positive Reflections on 6 Dec 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-12-06 7 Tips to Let Go Of the Past (Part 1) ⇦ ⇨ Many of us carry a heavy or subtle burden of negative events and happenings that have taken place in our life sometime in the past, either an immediate past or a far-off one; which reduce our present contentment levels immensely. The negative past could be of any form – you experienced the loss of a close loved one due to an end in a relationship or sudden death; you went through a serious physical illness or a very lean phase of financial loss, you were abused on a mental or physical level; you were not treated properly by a colleague at the office and undue advantage was taken of you; you performed an inappropriate action and you repent up till now, even after many years have passed, and many such similar and different types of incidents. There are three different types of processes for removing negative memories from our consciousness: 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 ➔ A negative past event is modified into a positive, beneficial form and then stored in the consciousness. 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 ➔ Memories of a negative past event are forgotten and do not exist either in our conversations or in our conscious mind or thoughts, but traces of those memories exist in the sub-conscious mind. 𝗘𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 ➔ No traces of the negative past exist in the consciousness and memories of it are removed from the sub-conscious also. We need to take the help of all the different aspects or techniques of spirituality for these removal processes. In the next two days’ messages, we will explain 7 such different techniques of spirituality, which if incorporated into our life, help us experience lightness and emotional freedom from the past. All of them have their unique importance. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested Link ➔ Read: "How to Forget Past"

The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 3) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-12-18 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ The Key To Relationships – Unconditional Love (Part 3) Whenever you want to experience joy in a relationship, learn to love with a big heart. This is something we hear commonly, but what this means is loving without any fixed boundaries of how the other person should be with me. In other words, we tend to create so many fixed images in our mind of the other person’s consciousness, attitude, words, and actions about how they should be, that we don’t let the other person be themselves. ➤This happens to the extent that the other person will in some cases stop expressing themselves freely. Also sometimes their personality starts going into a shell which has been created by us and they will never come out of that shell for life in some cases. The meaning of that is simply that the other person becomes a puppet in our hands and he or she will do everything that we demand without ever thinking that they are no longer themselves. And who is responsible for that happening? We are. We create a person based on our personality. That’s in short a negative karma that we become responsible for. This is called conditional love. ➤On the other hand, a love that is unconditional wants the other person, whom you love, to be themselves and a different person from them, with their own personality, their own special strengths, skills and qualities. This happens in such a way that these qualities and skills complement your strengths and the two of you become a beautiful pair of people who keep each other ahead. ➤Also, at the same time you focus on your own qualities and bring them into action. This is true love. Such a love, when brought into action becomes a beautiful foundation for a happiness-filled relationship. In such a relationship, two people enjoy each other’s loveful company without interfering in each other’s personal space. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Read "Healing Karmic Account" Quote of the day "Freedom from the bondage of the material world brings liberation" Thoughts to ponder : Being external can lead to wasteful thoughts - clinging to things that don't bring us happiness. Things, however, will leave us one day, and in the same way, friendships too, can break, and they can bring sadness and regret. Process : The only way to find true happiness and liberation is to look within ourselves for the joy, peace, and power that lies within us. All this sweetness that I have been searching for all these years is actually within me – and starting today, I am going to look within myself. Previous Next day

"Will Power: Biggest Strength" ➤ Positive Reflections on 30 Sep 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-09-30 Your Will Power Is Your Biggest Strength ⇦ ⇨ Whether we want to achieve a goal, stick to right diet, give up an addiction or sustain a healthy habit, we attribute our success or failure to our will power. Sometimes we display highest will power, and other times we seem to completely lack it. Each of us has uniform and unlimited will power. The more we use it, the more we will experience it. Whenever you failed to achieve, become or overcome something, did you believe, I do not have enough willpower. I cannot do this? ➤Did you think successful people have higher willpower? Do you check if it’s your willpower which has caused you failure at times? Each of us is blessed with the same amount of will power. All of us use our will power in certain situations and do not use it in others. When we do not use it, we fail in what we want to do. Repeated failure reaffirms a wrong belief that we lack will power. It is not the lack of will power, but a lack of desire and determination which blocks or slows down our success. For willpower to work, it’s important to have a deep desire and the persistence to try one more time even if we had failed in the past. Never underestimate your willpower, it is an essential ingredient to success in every aspect. ➤Always affirm to yourself that you are a powerful being. You can be who you decide to be and do what you decide to do. Your mind and body will always co-operate with you because you are a master of your sense organs. You should always be clear about what you truly want in your personal, professional and social life. You have the ability to make right choices, you have the willpower to implement your decisions. Follow lifestyle disciplines of right eating, drinking, sleeping habits and teach your mind right habits of right thinking, speaking and behaving. ➤Whether it is changing a habit, making healthy choices or taking timely actions, do not depend on people, circumstances, environment or your past experiences. Rely on your strong will power. Show restraint in the face of temptation. Don’t postpone, don’t cancel your plans. Do not give up on your goals. Use your will power in every situation. When you use your will power in one situation, you will increase it in other situations also. Remind yourself everyday - I am a powerful being. I have a strong will power which empowers me to achieve everything I desire. My unlimited will power is my biggest strength. I use it to achieve what I want.

"Attention To Every Karma" ➤ Positive Reflections on 10 Sep 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-09-10 Attention To Every Karma ⇦ ⇨ Our every thought, word, and action is the energy we send out to the world, which is our karma. Situations and people’s behaviors are the energy on the return, which is our destiny. Every karma gets recorded on the soul and brings consequences either in this life or in future lives. With inner power, we learn to create the right karmas and face the consequences of past karmas with stability. Do you take credit for situations when life is smooth? Do you blame God or other people when it hits a rough patch? Do you believe you created your destiny, or that it was pre-destined? ➤We are the creators of our destiny. Every karma has a consequence that can come to us today, in a few days, a few years or a few births. What we do today in response to what is happening to us is our present karma, and is completely our choice. Let us create the right thoughts, words, and behaviors now as present karma, regardless of the situation. The right present karma settles past karmic accounts and creates a pleasant experience today and a beautiful destiny for our future. Let’s not focus on what people and situation do to us, let us focus on keeping our karma right. ➤You are on the journey of your life, living your life your way and according to your values and principles. Whether it is simple eating, drinking, dressing living habits, or sanskaras, choose only what is right for your karmic account, only what increases your inner power, what spreads happiness. Your every thought, word, and behaviour should be pure and powerful, irrespective of the situation. Emerge your original qualities of peace and happiness. Use them in every karma. Have beautiful karmic relationships with people, with nature, with objects, with everything that is there for you. ➤All your happiness, health, harmony, and success today is because of your beautiful past karmas. And a few challenges are consequences of your not-so-right past karmas. Accept them without questions, and face them knowing that your power lies in the now. Choose a pure present karma to settle the past and secure a happy future. Be grateful to everyone who is right to you, even to anyone who has not been right to you, for giving you the opportunity to increase your inner power and settle your past karma. At every moment have all your karmic accounts settled. Suggested Link ➔ Course: "Law of KARMA"

"The I Inside (Part 2)" ➤ Positive Reflections on 22 June 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-06-22 The I Inside (Part 2) ⇦ ⇨ We all are used to seeing ourselves with the spectacles of others’ perceptions which are all based on physical attitudes and clouded by the worldly view. Today, we look at ourselves with a lot of respect for all that we think is good in us and based on what others tell us about us. And then, suddenly someone criticizes us and we become depressed and lose our mood to the other person’s perception. All this because we have learnt to identify with things other than the real I. Suppose I identify with what specialties I possess e.g. I am a good debater (speaker) and this specialty has bought me a whole lot of praises from people around me all through my academic career. ➥ Over a period of time people start praising you regularly for that and the identification gets stronger. Identification means losing yourself in the object of your attachment so much that you completely forget that this is not the real you. In this case, the skill of debating (speaking) with confidence is a characteristic which I possess, which can easily lose its importance if I don’t get an opportunity to express it as I become older or am out of school or college. So, what happened to the object of my attachment with which I identified myself? Suddenly it gets back at me and the same object starts giving me sorrow if the praise that I am used to receiving because of it is no longer available. In this situation, wouldn’t it have been better that I shouldn’t have attached myself so much to this characteristic in the first place. The more the identification, the more the sorrow experienced. ➥ So, a simple way of not experiencing sorrow in the above case is being happy and feeling lucky for what we possess. At the same time keep a relationship of detachment with the characteristic of speaking well i.e. how we express ourselves through our words and deliver our ideas through our voice. A relationship of detachment means not losing myself in the characteristic but playing my role with it and even keeping a pure pride that I possess the characteristic. ➥ This can also be called self-esteem, but at the same time not get over-awed or over self-impressed by the characteristic. That would lead to a healthier relationship with my attainment. Even if it is reduced or is lessened by any chance or not praised any more as much as before, it will not harm my self-esteem and give me unhappiness at any point of time.
