Realizing And Experiencing The I (Self) Within (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-09-14 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Realizing And Experiencing The I (Self) Within (Part 1) We all live our lives at a fast pace, finishing one scene and entering the next one after forgetting the first scene and sometimes carrying its memories into the second one. But have we wondered or stopped to ask ourselves that our identity is what we use to perform our actions one of our professions or roles or how we look or dress up or for that matter our gender or the country or caste to which we belong? 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 – 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐈. ➤𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢.𝐞. 𝐈, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, 𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭? Very often I identify with what I am not or what I seem to be but I am not in reality. The looks and the personality as well as the education are acquired but what I am really is what I am before I learn my education and shape up into the physical characteristics that I have. So we need to train ourselves from today to start seeing ourselves in the mirror of spirituality and start observing the real I or me. This is the I that is invisible to the physical eyes but is the core of what we call ourselves – human beings. As in a coconut, the softer inner surface or the core or center is what gives us strength whereas the hard exterior is what is not eaten or is less important. ➤People who are used to the common practice of seeing in the physical mirror before starting their day are reminded of so many physical characteristics mentioned above. As a result, they forget that behind the acquired exterior is a non-visible interior that also requires cleaning up and being dressed up. This is because that is what comes into contact with people’s hearts – people whom we meet every day. ➤Also, it is the inner face that will impress people after they have temporarily been impressed by the clothes we wear and how we look. After all, it is the smile that is more important than the shirt. What use is a good-looking suit if the person wearing the suit is egoistic and jealousy-filled? Living life in the essence of the inner self is a way of reaching out to others with love and compassion and remaining contented with yourself. (Continues tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Video: "Discover the Self" Quote of the day "A balance between assertiveness and love can bring about change in others" Points to think about : When we want to bring change to others, we need to speak up. But sometimes, when we don't combine this assertiveness with the right attitude, this assertiveness takes the form of disrespect. Procedure : When I want to help someone change, I need to be firm and kind at the same time. When balanced in this way, my words and actions have the greatest impact on others. After that, I can easily bring about the result I want. Previous Next day

Enjoy & Love Every Moment of Eating : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-07-26 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Enjoy & Love Every Moment of Eating All of us have three meals a day. They sustain and nourish us to sit, move, speak, smile, and complete tasks. For the ways food serves us, it is important to love and respect what we eat. We often find ourselves grumbling or judging the food on our plate. We reject it unawares with statements like - I’m bored of eating this every morning. This dish is so bland, I wish my mother could cook better. We also worry or feel guilty - I might put on weight, What if my sugar levels increase. ➤This doesn’t taste fresh, hope I won’t fall sick. Once we decide to eat, let’s enjoy the food, not think of its effects. Let's create thoughts of gratitude and love before and while eating. The quality or quantity may not always be perfect. Never mind – we have enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy) thousands of delicious meals. The few imperfections should not change our respect for food. ➥Food that we eat everyday is nutrition for our body. We choose what is healthy. We can choose what is tasty, but if we say we will be happy when we eat something specific, it means our happiness becomes dependent on our food. Sit back, and visualize yourself happy while you are having your meals and radiating happy energy to your food. We often create an energy of irritation when we eat something which is not tasty for us. Food may not be tasty … but happiness or irritation is our choice. ➤Practice today to not allow your food to influence your mind. Criticizing what you are eating radiates negative energy to the food which then influences your mind. Before every meal today, pause and reaffirm I am happy and calm as I eat my meal. I energize the food with my happiness. Suggested ➔ Article: "Yogi Diet" Quote of the day "Words filled with good wishes bring change in others" Expression : When there are good wishes combined with the words that I speak, there is love. Whatever is spoken with love has its effect on others. Such words are free from all kind of negativity, so they naturally have a lot of power. Only such powerful words can bring about a change in others. Experience : When I speak with love and good wishes, I find that I am light, knowing that I have no selfishness in whatever I have said. The others too are able to immediately correct themselves. This also enables me to gain good wishes for having taken them a step forward. Previous Next day

"During Conflict, Talk To People" ➤ Positive Reflections on 13 June 2023 (Daily Thought Reflections by Awakening with Brahma Kumaris) ⇦ Reflections 2023-06-13 During Conflicts Talk To the Person, Don’t Talk About Them ⇦ ⇨ When there is a conflict in a relationship, our inner negative emotions often become a barrier in our communication with the other person. Something about the other person bothers us, but instead of talking to that person directly, we talk about him or her to everyone else we know. If two people do not mutually discuss their differences, their relationship can quickly get worse. When you put sincere efforts to resolve a conflict, the other person automatically feels your pure intentions. You not only win the relationship, but also win over your ego. 1 ● When you have differences with someone, how do you go about resolving them? Do you directly talk to that person, or share the matter with others who weren’t even a part of that issue? Importantly, have you noticed how so many more negative emotions arise, when the two of you don’t talk to each other, but talk about each other? 2 ● We often find a need to go and talk about a relationship issue to other people, believing that it makes us feel better, or that they can help us and resolve the conflict. Although those people have the best intentions for us, their vibrations reflect their state of mind - which can be of anxiety, fear or anger. Their negative energy might unintentionally but surely deplete and worsen our relationship, which is going through a conflict. 3 ● If we created the energy blockage with another person, then only the two of us can resolve it amongst us. Even if we want to take someone’s help to resolve, that third person has to be someone who is absolutely unbiased and emotionally detached. Such people bless us, and we can use their energy to strengthen ourselves and resolve the conflict. 4 ● Maintain an open, honest and transparent communication with whoever you are not getting along well with. Your pure vibrations will allow both of you to move towards harmony. Remind yourself throughout the conflict - I talk only and only to the person I have differences with. I do not talk about them to others. My positive conversations with them dissolves the conflict and restores harmony amongst us. Suggested Link ➔ "Healing Relationship" advice

The Driver Example For Self Realization (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-07-14 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ The Driver Example For Self Realization (Part 1) One of the comparisons which help in self realization i.e. in strengthening the awareness that I, the soul, a non-physical energy am different from this physical body is that of the driver and the car, where the driver represents the spiritual energy and the car represents the body which is controlled by the spiritual energy. The biggest reason why I do not have the desired control over my physical body, my vehicle, my sense organs today is that I lost the consciousness of being a driver which could control and rule the vehicle. Instead, I developed the consciousness that I am this vehicle, this physical body. ➤This consciousness disconnected me from the ability and the power I possessed inside me to control the vehicle. If I want to achieve the desired control, I need to be in a driver consciousness i.e. in the awareness that I am a soul and my body is a vehicle, through which I experience life. Being in this awareness, in this consciousness, awakens me and empowers me to regain the much required control over my body. ➔The car controls are the gears, brake, accelerator and steering wheel which can be compared to the subtle sense organs of the soul which are the mind, intellect and sanskars and those of the body which are the eyes, ears, nose, hands and tongue. A good driver is one who remains extremely alert and is able to use the gears, brake, accelerator and steering wheel effectively and efficiently, in order to be fully in control of the vehicle and to avoid any accidents. ➤In the same way, as I move on the road of life, I need to keep my subtle and physical sense organs (mentioned above) in complete control. If I do that, they will keep my journey enjoyable and help me experience mental peace and happiness safely and successfully. If I don’t do that and let them overpower me, accidents will definitely occur, making me peaceless and sorrowful. (To be continued tomorrow...) Suggested ➔ Course: "WHO AM I?" Quote of the day "It is on the basis of actions that praise is received" Expression : The one who only talks but is not able to put his talk into practice does not become worthy of praise. On the other hand, the one who is able to bring his good thoughts and words into action becomes worthy of praise. Such a person's actions become inspirational for others and encourage them to follow him. Experience : When I am able to act according to my thoughts and words, I am able to take inspiration to do more. For every positive action that I do, I experience support and good wishes from others which encourage me constantly. My account of positivity is always full and it takes me further to a cycle of positivity making it a habit. So I find that I don't have to work hard for performing positive actions.

Creating A Good Work-Life Balance : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2024-12-27 SHARE⇗ ⇦ ⇨ Creating A Good Work-Life Balance There is no denying that our work is an important part of our life. But sometimes we allow work to dominate over everything else. We need to strike a healthy balance by prioritizing all aspects of life. When we complain I have no time to balance my work and life, we use time as an excuse to not pay attention to one of the three – the self or family or work. 1● 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: It could be Work, Family, and then Self, if there is time left. The Self is the seed, the Family is the trunk, and your Work and everything else you do is the tree. Your priority cannot be the tree, trunk, and seed. It should be – seed, trunk, and then the rest of the tree. Change your priority to be: Self, Family and Work. 2● 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥: Keep aside for yourself, an hour of Me-time every morning to meditate and exercise. Also, fix 6-7 hours of sleep. Follow set mealtimes and eat mindfully. Spend 3 to 4 hours of the day with family. 3● 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Once you schedule time to nourish your mind, strengthen your body and have beautiful relationships, you are energized to put in more than 100% percent at work. Your intuition, decision-making, cooperation, and productivity increase. You will achieve more in less time. Getting your life in balance and in harmony begins from caring for yourself. Suggested ➔ Read "Managing Work & Life" Quote of the day "Sometimes, being brave means 'accepting help' from others" Thoughts to ponder : When we are faced with more demands than we are used to, fear increases and we find ourselves unable to cope with the situation. Then, the strength within us disappears behind fear. Process : When I am aware of and appreciate the resources within me , I am able to access them and use them. This takes courage. But then , others will automatically be attracted to my help. And I will find myself in a better position than I was before. Previous Next day

"Contentment does not come to those whose means are great, but to those whose needs are few." The significance of contentment lies in its ability to foster inner peace, promote mental well-being, and cultivate a genuine appreciation for life's simple joys, transcending the perpetual pursuit of external validations and unattainable desires.

Read inspiring message of 2024-07-14 : Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be) . Brahma Kumaris Daily Thoughts and Inspirations. ⇦ Inspirations Messages ⇨ 2024-07-14 Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be) ⇦ ⇨ Resistance leads to persistence. Whatever you resist or push against simply persists and pushes back in equal measure. Instead, transform resistance into acceptance by practicing “Que Sera, Sera… whatever will be, will be…” 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱: The more you fight against certain thoughts, emotions, or situations, the more they dominate your mind and life. By resisting, you give these issues more energy and focus, causing them to linger and intensify. Acceptance, on the other hand, can lead to better understanding and resolution. Embracing this idea encourages us to confront and process our challenges rather than avoiding or battling them, ultimately leading to personal growth and peace.
