Suppressing Anger? "Don’t Even Create It" : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-10-19 ⇦ ⇨ Suppressing Anger? "Don’t Even Create It" Anger is not our original nature. By repeatedly being angry when situations are not our way, we make it an obvious reaction. We express it, deny it or at best suppress it. Anger has become chronic, but the good news is we can take a step-wise approach to first control and then finish it. 1 ● Anger is your choice, just as 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲. You don’t choose anger with authority figures or seniors but have given yourself the liberty to be angry at others. Practice meditation every morning to be patient with everyone. 2 ● Initially you may feel tempted to react, but d̳o̳ ̳n̳o̳t̳ ̳e̳x̳p̳r̳e̳s̳s̳ ̳t̳h̳a̳t̳ ̳a̳n̳g̳e̳r̳. Hold it & calm it with the thoughts of 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐲 & 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. When you bring out anger, the other person reacts as well. And then you react further and so does the other person. The magnitude of anger multiplies. 3 ● Tell yourself - 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜. I understand they have a reason for what they did. I use patience and acceptance with them to protect myself and empower them. It is not suppression, but when you finish anger outside, gradually it finishes inside as well. 4 ● Identify one person to give corrections with 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲. Notice how your inner stability benefits you and them. Once you can choose patience with one person, repeat the same with 2 more people tomorrow, and then so on.

Read inspiring message of 2023-09-10 : Power On . Brahma Kumaris Daily Thoughts and Inspirations. ⇦ Inspirations Messages ⇨ 2023-09-10 Power On ⇦ ⇨ Each day we all need to recharge our spiritual battery, otherwise the light of our consciousness becomes dim, thoughts become fuzzy, and decisions are impregnated with doubt. Power is available inside and outside. Inside us we have a spiritual centre, at the core of our consciousness, pure radiant spiritual light. This is what we are. However it is now blocked by our attachments, the record of all our life experiences and many learned beliefs and perceptions. Outside us we have the sun of spirit, the source, invisible to our physical eyes but only one second away when we are able to quieten and focus our mind. Meditation connects us to both sources of power – that’s why meditation is the way to access the real vitamins and the minerals that spirit craves. The vitamin of pure love and the minerals of truth and wisdom. Take time to empower yourself today. Sit quietly and connect your mind to each source and allow yourself to recharge and renew.

Read inspiring message of 2023-11-04 : Resolve Conflict . Brahma Kumaris Daily Thoughts and Inspirations. ⇦ Inspirations Messages ⇨ 2023-11-04 Resolve Conflict ⇦ ⇨ There has probably never been a time where there has been so much fear and conflict across the world, not just across oceans and borders but across the breakfast table. In fact many now prefer conflict to peace, as they become addicted to the actions of anger and aggression, and the adrenaline rush which results. They don’t really want conflict to end, in fact, they will say that some conflict is good to get things done and stimulate change. They are not aware that they are killing themselves. All conflict is simply a symptom of attachment to a position. And as we know, this generates fear, and fear, if allowed to stay, eventually kills it’s host. All solutions are based on detachment or letting go. But that will be difficult until we can see that all possession is an illusion, that we have nothing to lose and that there are no victories in winning. Suggested Link ➔ Read: "How to Enjoy Life?"

Messengers of Love & Joy (Part 1) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-12-19 ⇦ ⇨ Messengers of Love & Joy (Part 1) Life is a beautiful journey in which the best experience for all of us is one of love and joy. Love and joy accompany us right from the time we are born and we grow up with them in our hearts. We live our complete life sharing these two lovely emotions with everyone and receiving the same. Also, it is seen that every purpose that human beings have, is focused on these two emotions and their experience. ➤Yes, they are important and the foundation of a beautiful life experience at any age, but at the same time it is important to note that love and joy is not increasing in the world with time, but decreasing. Today, people are moving away from each other much sooner and more easily than before and also everyone’s hearts are not as filled with good wishes for each other, as before. In fact, expectations and desires are two main negative energies, which are reducing love and joy in the world, the most. Let’s become messengers of love and joy for the world by doing the following: ➤Every morning, create a pure feeling of love for everyone in the world and each and every person whom you meet and come across the whole day – your friends, relatives, office colleagues and of course family. As you wake up in the morning, take a morning pledge – Each and everyone is my close one and I have a beautiful relationship with them, which I want to make more beautiful with my every nice word and action and every other gesture. ➤I am responsible for making every relationship of my life to work well and without problems. Also, create the affirmation regularly in the day – I want to make every relationship of mine rich with qualities of contentment, understanding, acceptance, humility, sacrifice and an attitude of giving.

Breaking the Cycle of Negative Energy Exchanges (Part 2) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-11-26 ⇦ ⇨ Breaking the Cycle of Negative Energy Exchanges (Part 2) The foremost method to break the cycle of negative energy exchanges with another person is one of self-transformation. The most basic level of self transformation is that I don’t react verbally to the other person with words. But I mention the negative energy received from the other, in the physical forms of negative expressions, vision, words and actions, to others and create an atmosphere of negativity. This also gives birth to negative perceptions of the person in others’ minds. ➤In such cases, damage occurs on a physical level and damage control has to be done later, which sometimes is too late to do, since relationships have already been harmed. This is because those who we pass on negative information to, pass on the information received from us to others and sometimes even to the person who we think harmed us in the first place. ➤The second and little deeper level of self transformation is where I not only don’t react but I don’t talk against the person to anyone, even to people who are close to me. But I continue to think negatively about the other person. In such cases, damage is reduced but still happens, unknowingly and invisibly, behind the curtains of physical eyes and ears, as my thoughts and emotions are not completely under my control. They are led to a direction, which is incorrect as per the basics of spiritual wisdom – sometimes willingly and sometimes I do not want them to be led there but they go in that direction unwillingly due to a lack of inner strength. These negative thoughts and emotions do reach the other person on a subtle level, harming relations with that person. ➤The third and deepest level of self transformation is where I develop the power to change the quality of my thoughts and feelings as well. I am emotionally empowered enough to remove the flaw (weakness) in my own character that was at the root of my reactions, so that what used to pinch or hurt me so much will not do so anymore. Also, relationships get protected by doing that, which is something each one of us desires. This is the power of accommodation and self-transformation in action, at its best and possesses the potential to stop negative energy exchanges with the other. (Continued tomorrow...) Suggested Link ➔ Read: "How to Enjoy Life" Message for Today "To recognise one's own uniqueness is to respect oneself" Expression : To have respect for oneself based on other people's opinion or situational achievements is to have respect temporarily. True respect for the self is based on the recognition of the fact that every individual is unique with its own set of unique capabilities . This understanding enables one to see one's own uniqueness without being influenced or without comparing with others. Experience : When I know to recognise and appreciate my own uniqueness and respect myself on this basis, I am able to be free from ego or a feeling of inferiority. I am also able to recognise naturally the uniqueness of the other person and respect him for it. Thus I am able to win the love and respect of others too. Previous Next day

Brahma Kumaris Daily Thoughts and Inspirations. ⇦ Inspirations Messages ⇨ 2023-10-07 Develop Patience ⇦ ⇨ Patience teaches us to sow the seed in the form of right actions and to allow the fruits of those actions to ripen in their own time. I don’t need to think about the future benefits of what I do now, because I know I will receive what I need when the time is right. If I let go of expectations and allow things to develop in their own time, I will be able to enjoy what I am doing in the present, and the future will automatically become good.

Read inspiring message of 2023-09-08 : Lasting Happiness . Brahma Kumaris Daily Thoughts and Inspirations. ⇦ Inspirations Messages ⇨ 2023-09-08 Lasting Happiness ⇦ ⇨ The real reason why we sometimes experience a lack of real, deep lasting happiness in our lives is dependency. We are taught to make our happiness dependent on some event, condition, person, object etc. This is why we keep delaying our happiness until things are just right in our life. We think we will be happy in the future and then wonder why we are not happy now. But life is never just right, and the future never comes – there is only now! And that’s why, in order to be happy we must make our happiness a decision and not a dependency. This may seem slightly difficult in the beginning, because we have just spent our life being dependent on acquiring something or someone, or seeing the result we desired, or wanting some pain to go away, before we allow ourselves to be happy.

Three Mirrors for Inner Beauty (Part 2) : Daily Thoughts & Awakening Messages for your spiritual upliftment by Brahma Kumaris Sustenance team. ⇦Messages 2023-09-26 ⇦ ⇨ Three Mirrors for Inner Beauty (Part 2) In yesterday's message, we had discussed the first mirror, the mirror of spiritual knowledge. This mirror will also show you God or the Supreme Soul and it will remind you about His virtues, words, and actions which will help you check where you stand in comparison to Him in terms of virtues, words, and actions and will influence you to follow Him by imbibing those virtues, speaking words and performing actions in a similar way. Lastly, this mirror will reveal to you the personality of God and remind you of your relationship with Him, strengthen the relationship, and help you in creating a deep and personal connection with Him in different ways which will benefit you and others. ➤The knowledge read every morning will help you see and realize what mistakes you have committed in the last 24 hours in your thinking and while performing actions and also mistakes committed in maintaining a connection with the Supreme and also see what you have done positively during the same time, which will encourage you further to do the same in the future. ➤The mirror of spiritual knowledge will also help you remain careful for the day ahead create thoughts perform actions and experience a relationship with the Supreme based on what you have read. It is a common experience of a lot of people that the spiritual knowledge read in the morning is always what the need of the moment is for them. The spiritual knowledge read is very commonly an exact reflection of the activities and mental state of your last 24 hours and something which you require for the coming day for the self, for your relationships, and for facing different types of negative situations in your personal and professional life. ➤This is the Law of Spiritual Attraction. Our consciousness and inner requirements attract us the "spiritual knowledge" of a similar nature and bring us closer to God, who answers all our questions and clears all our doubts about life through the spiritual wisdom which He shares everyday.

Suggested Link ➔ Video: "Soul & RajYog Meditation" Message for Today "Introspection enables one to be free from the influence of negativity" Expression : Introspection means the desire to be good. Introspection brings the ability to look within and see the true self in the mirror of the heart, thus enabling one to activate inner spirituality . Then all effort made will be towards activating this inherent goodness. And slowly one finds that the behaviour associated with negative traits is no more expressed, as they begin to lose their hold. Experience : When I am able to introspect and look within, I can find the goodness that is there within me. Because of this, I naturally am free from expectations from others that they should recognise my goodness or consider me good. Instead, I find myself content with what I am and continue to bring out the best from within me. I also continue to learn from all situations and experience progress. Previous Next day
