Received an email about love from an 18 year old girl from India. She fell in love with someone and then had a break up in their relationship. She was a regular listener of BK Shivani's spiritual lectures and hence writes to us for a solution as she is feeling down. Original Email received: I am Nilanjana Das. I live in Kolkata and i am of 18 years, a student. I recently had a bad break up and this was my first relationship. Though it was the guy who first professed his love to me, at last he ended the relationship by saying that he does not love me at all and blamed me for no reason. Maybe, i did not come up to his expectations but i really loved him and tried to make him happy. But i failed. I am a regular follower of sister Shivani's youtube videos and trying to come out of the situation but i am not able to forget him. His words and promises are ringing in my ears. Please help me. What must i do to come out of this situation. And one more question is, are good deeds really rewarded? Our Email Answer Nilanjana You are a regular listener of Brahma Kumari (BK) Shivani and hence you would have watched Awakening episodes. It is seen that today's young children having disinterest in life after failing in love (called break up). When they don't get what they want, they believe it is the end. This is because of not knowing what ''love'' means. You need understanding of What love is and what love means. Here is a nice explanation by Sandeep Maheshwari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_1bFkC2tRY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6gEkCp0f08 Watch both videos and you will understand the true meaning of love. Now that you know, Do you think such a relationship exist between you and anyone else? Of course, a parent has immense love for their children. But can you think of anyone like this who can love you unconditional and yet you need not to even see him? What is love? - Love means to become one with someone and there is NO separation - there is unconditional acceptance and always there for each other. Only one GOD can love you like this. He is the ocean of knowledge, an ocean of love.

Email letter we received from Shweta on 3 Oct 2018 about - How to handle husband/wife relationship when there is lack of trust and values in relationship or there is cheating? Original Email Question: Hello Sister, I seen some of your videos about relationships. It is really knowledgeable and helpful but still i need your help to solve this Question. My Question is if life partner betrayed again and again and wife or husband forgive him/she again and again, forgiveness became weakness and common. life partner keep doing that mistake(extra marital affair )so now husband /wife should forgive him /her or punished ? pls reply. Our Answer (email response) From: Prajapita Brahma Kumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidhyalay Essence-full advice: If you think your husband can change himself if you explain, then you should once try and try your best to calmly explain that what is right and what is wrong. Try to guide him morally. Moral values are needed to sustain family life. You may also together visit the nearest BK centre to your home. There he will get a pure and spiritual enviournement in which you can explain him and there you both will get the benefit of pure and powerful atmosphere and if you ask, the sister at the centre will also guide you both. Best way to solve a misundertanding or problem like this, is to talk. When you both get time, you sit together and talk with patience. Stay calm and sweetly ask what questions you may have for your husband. Ask him. You do not need to react. After you talk, convince them to come with you to visit a nearby Brahma Kumari Ashram (centre).

The art of decision-making involves merging clear reasoning with intuitive insight, allowing us to navigate complex situations with confidence. In essence, this involves—examining available information, foreseeing potential outcomes, and harmonizing logic with personal values and priorities. By thoughtfully balancing these factors, we can arrive at choices that not only solve immediate issues but also lead to long-term growth and fulfilment.

Thus, i must ask your 𝕥𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝕒𝕥𝕥𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟, as you read the following::: 🍀All our decisions/choices stem (originate) from the 4 sources/faculties: * 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 * 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 (Intuition or Knowing) * 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰 (based on facts) * 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗸𝗮𝗿 (past impressions) 🪻If you take a moment before making a choice, you will find that your every decision/choice is powered by one (or more) of the above 4 sources. Let us explore all four of them one by one. 𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 It is the soul's energy to act-out the thoughts. Emotion is 𝙴𝚗𝚎𝚛𝚐𝚢-𝚒𝚗-𝙼𝚘𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 (act). There are 𝟓 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 using which we act and make decisions: 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚, 𝙁𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝘼𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧, 𝙂𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙛, 𝙀𝙣𝙫𝙮. Ultimately, all these emotions are sourced from and are based in 'love'. All of them ARE love, when they are 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕣𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕕 𝕚𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕙𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕞. 🌸When you act purely with 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, you must be very careful and make sure that you are not guided by them alone. Emotional-choices often 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, but 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Hence, make sure that you mix your emotions with one or more of the other 3 faculties (intuition, knowing, sanskar) 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 (Intuition) ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Intuition is the "inner knowing" or "guidance" that arises beyond logical thought, often described as a gentle, yet clear sense of truth. Intuition is also 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐧𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, voice of god—offering 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 in a way that transcends the rational mind. 🌈When you act from the "gut feeling" you are making better decisions for your spiritual journey. Such choices may take you to a path with 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬, but assures you 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 and 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗜𝗖 ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: In decision-making, logic refers to the systematic use of '𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨' to evaluate information and reach rational conclusions. It is based on evidence, recognizing patterns, and following clear steps to ensure that one’s choices are coherent and consistent in objective analysis rather than emotion or assumption. 🍎When you act with logic, you are "playing safe". Decisions based on rational thinking would (most probably) not bring you to harm. But here one must take care—as rational decisions often compromise the 'heartly desires'—and therefore making all your choices with a rational mind will not help you living your life at its best, as it sometimes hinder our 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 and keep us from many of 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞'𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬. Most times, being brave, having faith on god, and 'trusting the process of life is the challenging, yet the shortest way to a speedy spiritual growth. 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 (Sanskar) ✶𝘿𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Sanskara (nature or habits impressed on the soul) is the 𝕞𝕠𝕤𝕥 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕞𝕠𝕟 source of our every day choices. It is because the mind is a big 'data centre' which 𝕣𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣𝕤 our past decisions, and 𝐛𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭 makes the 'same' choice over and over again (until you 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 '𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞' the direction of thought, and thus change the sanskaar) 🍁When you act entirely on past impressions (Sanskar), you are driving on 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭. Such choices 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. Thus, if you wish to enhance your decision-making, start with this >> Change your Sanskar 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 which are based on a balanced mixture of all 4 sources (right emotion, gut feeling, logic, and past memory) ——————————— 𝗦𝗨𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 We hope you have read and understood all above points. It is important to fully understand the 'sources' of our day to day choices, in order for us to master 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚘𝚏 𝚍𝚎𝚌𝚒𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗-𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐. 🌳Now, if you wish to break the cycle of making wrong choices again and again, the simple solution is—𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 '𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬' 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. That is—𝐃𝐨 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲. When you start thinking, speaking, and doing things 'deliberately' you begin to hold a 'purpose' behind doing anything. Living this way adds a great meaning and a sense of purpose to life. And this happens naturally when we start living with 𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚎𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜. It is as simple as that. The Process Before making any important decision, 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧... Go within and find your intuition, the gut feeling, and 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. ➤Imagine yourself making the choice/decision... Ask yourself "am i happy making this choice" (as if you are talking with your 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 who has already experienced the outcome of that decision) 🌻That is the way to make sure that your every decision, every choice is 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 'where' you want to go (aim), and 'what' you want to experience. Taking a pause is what you must practise.

Many of us struggles in controlling emotions, particularly the feeling of "fear" is manifestated in many parts of our lives. The emotion of fear has many further branches: greed, ego, and attachment are major ones. There are also many forms of fear: Mainly categorised into 2 forms as: Rational (with a cause or reason) Irrational (no cause or logic) Out of these, the rational fear like "fear of death" for example, is but important in order to protect yourself from the possible dangers. Therefore, allowing this as a human nature, we shall skip to the next form. Let us see how to deal with & overcome irrational fears. Skip to content Cause of Fear Solution (9 steps) Heal Overthinking Videos to Watch 🌱If you are an old member of Samadhan group, you would know that we have written about "𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊 𝙳𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚊" and we SOULS are actors here... and we are eternal beings of consciousness, the SOUL. We cannot be destroyed or harmed by any means of this world. Our body is perishable, but the self is eternal (never born, never cease to exist). This is written in many scriptures and holy books. But the very lack of "awareness" of our real-sefl, brings us the kinds of emotions such as fear. Cause of Fear We shall first look at the very source of "fear" > that is > body-consciousness (false indentification of being this physical body). When we forget that the self is a SOUL, an eternal consciousness, we mistakenly associate our identity with this physical body, a costume that we wear in order to experience life in this corporeal world. Tip: Watch our short film: "WHO AM I" in English or in Hindi 🌿Knowing that ME, the SOUL is eternal >> I was never born and so would never die or end. Second, the physical body we take when we are born >> this body is merely an extension of our own energy >> the soul's energy translates into a physical form, allowing us to experience this physical world of 5 elements (𝕤𝕠𝕚𝕝, 𝕨𝕒𝕥𝕖𝕣, 𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖, 𝕒𝕚𝕣, 𝕤𝕡𝕒𝕔𝕖) and 5 senses (𝕤𝕖𝕖, 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕣, 𝕤𝕞𝕖𝕝𝕝, 𝕥𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕖, 𝕥𝕠𝕦𝕔𝕙) ⭐𝒲𝑒 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂 𝒦𝒜𝑅𝑀𝒜 𝓊𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒷𝑜𝒹𝓎, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝑒𝓃𝒿𝑜𝓎 𝒾𝓉𝓈 𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉. Solution: The 9 Steps While it may not be possible to completely eliminate fear, there are strategies you can use to manage and overcome it. Here are some steps you can take: 1. Acknowledge and understand your fear Take the time to identify and acknowledge the specific fear or fears you are experiencing. Understand why you are afraid and what triggers your fear response. This self-awareness is an essential first step towards overcoming fear. 2. Educate yourself Learn more about the object, situation, or activity that triggers your fear. Knowledge and understanding can help you see things in a different light and reduce fear. Seek reliable information, read books, talk to experts, or consult with professionals who can provide accurate insights. 3.Take small steps Gradually expose yourself to the source of your fear in a controlled manner. Start with small, manageable steps that push you slightly outside your comfort zone. For example, if you have a fear of public speaking, you could begin by speaking in front of a small group of friends or family before gradually speaking in front of larger audiences. 4. Practice relaxation techniques Fear often triggers physical and emotional responses like increased heart rate, shallow breathing, and anxiety. Practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or progressive muscle relaxation can help calm your mind and body, making it easier to face your fears. 5. Challenge negative thoughts Fear is often fueled by negative thoughts and catastrophic thinking. Challenge those thoughts by questioning their validity and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones. Remind yourself of past successes and focus on your strengths and abilities. 6. Seek support Share your fears with someone you trust, such as a friend, family member, or therapist. Talking about your fears can provide emotional support, different perspectives, and practical advice. You might discover that others have experienced similar fears and learn from their experiences. 7. Set realistic goals Establish realistic goals to gradually work towards overcoming your fear. Break down the process into smaller, achievable steps, and celebrate your progress along the way. This approach will help you maintain motivation and build confidence. 8. Visualize success Use the power of visualization to imagine yourself successfully overcoming your fear. Visualize the desired outcome and how you will feel once you have conquered your fear. This technique can help build confidence and create a positive mindset. 9. Take care of yourself Ensure you prioritize self-care by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Get regular exercise, eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and manage stress levels. Taking care of your physical and mental well-being will strengthen your overall resilience and ability to face your fears. Remember: Overcoming fear takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and celebrate each step forward, no matter how small it may seem. If your fear persists or significantly impacts your daily life, intensify the practise of meditation and personal efforts, while also consider taking emotional support from your family and friends. Heal Overthinking Issue 🌳Another major cause of fear is "𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛-𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐" and the cause of gave waste-thoughts (those which lacks a meaning) is 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪-𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤. In fact, the root of every problem you may are facing is "body consciousness" (𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕗𝕒𝕝𝕤𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕟𝕤𝕔𝕚𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕓𝕖𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕡𝕙𝕪𝕤𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕝 𝕓𝕠𝕕𝕪 while forgetting our spiritual identity) 🍀Also what you watch, hear and read every day (taking information from media) contributes to our consciousness.

𝔽𝕠𝕣 𝕖𝕩𝕒𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖: If a negative thought comes "what if i fall ill or die", then instantly replace that thought with a positive & powerful affirmative thought "my health is perfect... my body is healthy & powerful" ☝️Do this practise every time and make it a "natural way of living". ★We highly suggest you to practise Swamaan Abhyas (Affirmations) daily morning and before sleep using this Guide book 👉 https://files.shivbabas.org/wp-content/uploads/Swaman-Abhyas-Guide.pdf (read & follow: Save it) Selected Videos for You 𝕊𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕣: BK sister Shivani 𝕃𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕦𝕒𝕘𝕖: Hindi 1.

This is a one line answer and this will stand any test of time and situations. ☘️𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, pause for a moment and ASK your-self >> "Do I love doing this?" "Do I enjoy this?" and "Does this help me to reach to my ultimate goal?" ☝️If the answers to those 3 questions are "YES" > then you know you are on the right path. If any answer is a "no" then take a pause and see where you need to make change. ☘️Also ask the 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: "Does this hurt anyone?" "Does this hurt me?" and "Does this lead me away from God or from my principles/values?" ☝️If the answers to the above questions are "NO" only then you should go ahead. Wisdom: Life may not be easy all the times, but it certainly is "simple". They are some human beings who create troubles out of nothing, and make life look a challenge rather than a smooth 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. ————————————— 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚖𝚊𝚒𝚗 𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚒𝚙𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝 𝚊 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚜𝚎𝚎𝚔𝚎𝚛 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚊 𝚜𝚙𝚒𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕 𝚖𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚏𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠: "Do no wrong.

Say it is our 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 & 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 (𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 & 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲) and direct the senses in doing what you think is right.

As we newly find spirituality, we are surrounded by the magnificence and beauty it brings to life. Spirituality immediately becomes the 'centre-point' of life, and everything else revolves around this newly-found inner truth. This is all natural and essential. But does it mean—to remove yourself completely from the worldly life, family, relationships, and the responsibilities? No. There must be a 'balance' between spiritual path we walk (as a process), and the responsibilities we hold towards family, work & relationships. When this balance is found and maintained, we can progress greatly—become spiritual matured, emotionally stronger, and wiser as a human being. All this comes as a 'gift' for maintaining this 'balance'. You will learn all this and more, in this special post.

There were a lot of issues between us more due to differences in the value systems with which we have been raised. She was adamant and always wanted things to happen her way. Eventually I got frustrated and told her that I no longer intend to stay together. After being separated for 5 months, I got more into spirituality and I’m now thinking whether I should reconsider my decision. Although I’m at peace now, I’m thinking whether going back to her will allow my 'spiritual progress' and take me 'closer to god' by keeping my mind calm and focused as I navigate through my marital life and try to maintain a balance between my wife and family/friends, OR, would that only pull me down (from my spiritual progress) that I have made so far. I would really appreciate some guidance and light on this. Our Response 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱: The following is our guidance on finding the right approach for spiritual progress, while staying with family, doing your work & fulfiling your responsibilities. ———————————— 🌴First of all—let us clear the misunderstanding relating to 'spirituality' and the path we should walk after a "spiritual realisation". Should we try and keep a 'balance' between 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 & 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺—or should we renunciate everything? 🪴Spirituality does not require us to leave the work, family, or any particular relationship. Instead, 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 '𝐧𝐞𝐰' 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 (𝐠𝐨𝐝). Having a strong relationship with god will bring 'magic' into your life. "Spirituality is not about renunciating, but discovering!" 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗢𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 As you described your story, we cannot fail to notice the good cause. Notice how your separation from wife caused you to come to spirituality. It was all planned & meant to happen! "Everything make sense when we see the complete picture" 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀—After being into spirituality, should i consider staying together with my wife (with whom i had conflict), or should i stay apart? Does living together & keeping a 'balance' with family life help us becoming spiritually strong, or does it deviate us from the path? ✶𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿: In any way of formation, this question is perhaps the most vital, for anyone who is 𝐚 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐫, and wants to walk the path but not give up the family-responsibilities. 🍀As mentioned in the beginning, 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬—𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 '𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞'. For how you give your family love & care, when you lack it within. How can we work effectively, when we are not feeling at best. How can i fulfil my resopnsibilities, when do not know who i am. Here are a few life-transforming lines that defines exactly what spirituality is meant to bring into your life: (save this image, share with others) 🌳Spirituality completes our life. It does not break relationships, but make them 𝚖𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚏𝚞𝚕 and 𝚓𝚘𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚜... 'Spirituality' simply means 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 (𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙡). It is asking the question: "How will i manage my life around family, work, self-goal and responsibilities—if I am an eternal consciousness (spirit) who has incarnated for a purpose?" ———————————— 🌱Finally—coming to the heart of your question—'Will living together help me and my wife progress into spirituality, or will it deviate me from the path?' ✶Answer: If you are determined to be 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞—then nothing can cause you to deviate. Instead, your presence will serve as 'a reminder' for your wife's soul.

We should steadily practise being soul-conscious, and 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 of Shiv baba (the Supreme Soul).

At no cost should you compromise your spiritual principles, especially purity (includes celibacy). Hence you must exhibit 'purity' in every relationship and karma. 🌈If you walk this way, not only will you take the 'balanced' approach, also can become an intrument for bringing your wife (and others) towards spirituality, and make their fortune too.

Try to embibe and practise this wisdom in every day life. The following was written in response to a query we received on our Samadhan WhatsApp group in Dec 2024. Spiritual Insight Overcoming challenges is a profound opportunity for spiritual and emotional growth. It involves acknowledging that adversity and uncertainty is a natural part of life's journey and embracing it as a catalyst for transformation. As a part of our overall growth, we learn and develop strength, resilience, hope, and patience. It is by facing and overcoming such challenges that we cultivate resilience, deepen our faith on god (and the self), and discover inner strengths. Each obstacle presents a chance to reflect, learn, and evolve spiritually and emotionally, fostering a deeper connection to the self, others, and our understanding of the universe. Embracing these moments with mindfulness and gratitude can lead to profound spiritual insights and a greater sense of peace and purpose in our lives. Note: The following was written in a direct response to the person who contacted us with their query: It seems you are focussing more on the obstacles, than on the 'progress' itself that you indeed are making. And it would not surprise you to know that there are some or other challenges in doing anything worthwhile. We all face hurdles and challenges on our path, as we aim to reach from one place to another. 🍇Those challenges should not be seen as 'obstacles' but as stepping stones that guide you to the right direction and to the finishing line. Another good purpose of having such 'challenges' as a part of our journey, is that we learn and grow (in various ways & at many levels) when we face and overcome them. Thus, they are indeed a very "important part" of our journey. 🌳The 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 & 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 that we gain from facing hurdles, is what actually bring us the height of success—not only material success, but 'spiritual' too. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 & 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫 through such experiences. Step-wise Guidance The following are some carefully refined suggestions for anyone facing any form of challenges in personal or professional life: 1. Organise Your Feelings Begin by recognizing, accepting and organising your thoughts about the challenge you're facing. This self-awareness helps you understand the impact it has on you emotionally and mentally. Organising our inner-feeling about any external challenge/situation makes us open to the sixth sense (the inner guiding voice) 2. Define & Gain Clarity Clearly define what the challenge or the situation is. Break it down into smaller parts (make it look simpler) if it seems overwhelming. This clarity helps in identifying specific areas that need addressing. Simplifying the situation immediately relieve us from the burden and free our mind to feel more stable and positive. 3. Take Small Steps Establish achievable goals in smaller steps to tackle the challenge. Simplify the situation and set milestones that you can celebrate as you progress. This approach keeps you motivated and focused. 4. Get All The Help To our fortune, today we are surrounded by the vast ocean called 'internet' where all the help and guidance can be found, when sought. You are one click away from watching a motivation video, reading inspiring quotes, joining a like-minded community group, or finding a book that can transform your life. So get it all, spread your arms and 'be open' to all the help the universe is sending you. 5. Build a Support Network Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, or a like-minded community. Sharing your experiences and seeking encouragement from others can provide valuable perspective and emotional support. Join our Samadhan WhatsApp group to get timely guidance and support. If you need any kind of help or information, please use our search engine BK Google⇗ 6. Practise Self-Care Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Get enough rest, eat nourishing food, and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. 'Develop good habits'. Going for a daily morning and evening walk will bring you the well-needed refreshment and fresh insight. 7. Learn and Grow View challenges as 'opportunities' for personal growth.

We do receive a lot of messages and emails, requesting us to book a meeting or phone call with Brahma Kumari (BK) sister Shivani, who is an official respresentative for the BK organisation. Here is our official response. Updated on: 2 Sep 2024 Please Read: BK Shivani has a busy schedule. She keeps busy with regularly held lectures, invitations for seminars, and with her centre related services. But everyone of Brahma kumaris family is approachable. Sister Shivani may meet you at a suitable time and place. But before that, we highly recommend you to learn the basic spiritual knowledge through our introductory 7 days RajYog course, which you can take either by visiting a nearby BK centre or through our online course section. Here are the three direct ways to contact via email or visit her in person. 3 Ways To Meet or Contact You wish to know how can you contact or meet Sister Shivani, who is a senior Rajyoga teacher and a student at the Brahma Kumaris Godly Spiritual University (BKGSU). Here we will guide you where to contact and for what purpose. And if you still need help after taking the RajYog meditation course, and help from other BK sisters and brothers, OR you want to meet sister Shivani for some other reason, we will show you how to do so. Option 1 Contact via Email If you have ANY life challenging problem or a Gyan related, or a Personal question to ask BK Shivani, the main place to get help, is through our official "auto-response" form service: Ask a Question (via the 𝕾𝖍𝖎𝖛 𝕭𝖆𝖇𝖆 𝕾𝖊𝖗𝖛𝖎𝖈𝖊 𝕴𝖓𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖛𝖊) or If you want to invite sister Shivani for an event OR if you have an important message for her, send your email to bkshivani@gmail.com (main) or bkshivani108@gmail.com (sub) or shivani@bkivv.org (for BK organisation only) and wait for their response. ✶NOTE: If you want a reply from sister Shivani, please mention this on the 'Subject' or the first line of your message. Please know that she (or her representative) will answer only if your message is credited as 'valid' and 'serious' according to our guidelines. Response of your email may take up to 14 days depending on various factors. We answer emails on both Gyan related questions (about spiritual knowledge and murli) and Life-related (personal advise & spiritual insight on your life challenges & spiritual guidance to various issues). >>So we recommend you to first visit our QnA forum to access the general questions already answered and published. On this forum, you will get detailed guidance on various topics. Just search using the "search box" on the top of this page. Tip: Contact us ONLY IF you could not find a solution/answer on our Forum. Option 2 Through a BK centre First visit your nearby BK RajYoga Center (find using our Centre locator). Take the introductory 7 day RajYog meditation course through that center. All your questions would be answered by tasting this soul-awakening Godly knowledge. Murli is God's direct teachings through a corporeal medium whom he named Brahma, and so the group and organisation formed with those who listens and follow's God's murli, was called Brahma Kumaris (Meaning: The daughters of Prajapita Brahma) ✶Please Know: You can also discuss your life issue or situation with the incharge sister/s of your regional BK centre. They can guide you and show you the right path. And even by just being in the spiritual atmosphere of the RajYog centre, you will feel 𝚞𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚛𝚎𝚍. So visit the meditation centre regularly. After taking the introductory RajYog course, if you still are looking to contact sister Shivani for any other reason, you may do so with help of your regional center. How to Contact via Centre? We suggest you to approach a larger (regional) centre of Brahma Kumaris for this. Find the centres in your city using our locator. Ask them if they can call sister Shivani, or any of her close contacts and ask her for a visit to their centre. Otherwise ask her to speak to you over the phone. All our centres are interconnected and also connected to the mother center (Madhuban, Mount Abu). Thus they can find a contact and help you. Please know that this very knowledge of Gyan Murli, is also the source of wisdom of BK Shivani which she shares on our TV program Awakening with Brahma Kumaris and in her general lectures and seminars). The 7 days course is an essence of all godly knowledge. Option 3 Meet During a Seminar This is the easiest way to get in touch. If you wish to meet sister Shivani in person, the best way is to attend a seminar where she is coming. There, you can come and ask the incharge brothers/sisters to allow you and arrange a short visit with sister Shivani. If your reason is genuine, you will be allowed. ➔To get informed of her latest upcoming events & seminars, visit our official post: BK Shivani's Upcoming Events OR follow her on Facebook. ✶Please Know: Visiting an event of bk Shivani is only to 'encourage you' to find out the source of her wisdom, which is God's direct given knowledge that is taught and studied at the Brahma Kumaris centres every day by all our family members. Our purpose is to give you 𝔾𝕠𝕕'𝕤 𝕞𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕒𝕘𝕖, 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕚𝕟𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕕𝕦𝕔𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟 𝕥𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕠𝕦𝕣 𝕔𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕤𝕖, 𝕤𝕡𝕚𝕣𝕚𝕥𝕦𝕒𝕝 𝕚𝕟𝕤𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 & 𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕥𝕒𝕟𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕠𝕗 𝕝𝕚𝕗𝕖, and thereby 𝕞𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕘 𝕖𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕘𝕙 𝕥𝕠 𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕪 𝕡𝕣𝕠𝕓𝕝𝕖𝕞 that you don't need any other human being in help, as you connect directly to the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul (god) by learning RajYog. Personal Note With all love and respect, we advise you to first learn about Brahma Kumaris and about BK Shivani before you believe in anything. Please know that BK Shivani is one of the many Rajyoga teachers at this Godly University who is only sharing the knowledge which she learned and is learning from the gyan murli. 𝕽𝖊𝖋𝖊𝖗: What is Murli? ➥ Even Sister Shivani will advise you the same. That is: To connect to God, the source of this knowledge and all spiritual powers and not to her (a human being). So as we advise you not to insist to meet her for small reasons because it is not meeting her (or anyone else) which can resolve your problems. Only when you understand, adopt, and implement spiritual knowledge and experience the divine powers within your-self through RajYog meditation, can any and every challenge or situation of your life can be faced and smoothly overcomed. So connect to the Father (Shiv Baba) ➥ Sister Shivani will also advise you to visit the nearby BK RajYog center first. There you will get an introduction of the Self (soul) and the Father (Supreme Soul) in a concise 7 days course. This itself will give spiritual support to your soul. So, instead of depending on a person/human being, connect to the source - God. ✣ Related & Useful Links ✣ 1. BK Shivani's biography 2. Sister Shivani's Upcoming Events 3.

Is Shiv Baba (God) the source of knowledge? Such doubts may come in many souls. So here is our thoughtful guidance on how to think about this and conclude yourself. The knowledge of murli is direct teachings of the incorporeal Supreme soul (Shiv) through his medium Prajapita Brahma (in whose body Shiv enters and speaks). This is for everyone - new and old in Gyan. Do SHARE - this is VERY IMPORTANT Q and A post. Original Email/Questions Received Om Shanti Respected Brother, I am grateful to Brahmakumaris for the spiritual knowledge. Actually I have been in connection with many spiritual NGOs since years who seems to preach a similar knowledge as to BrahmaKumaris. Some of the knowledge though same like BKs, some of them were different and they also used to claim all the knowledge was from God. Same predictions were there regarding the end of Kaliyug. After listening to the lectures of BK Sister Shivani, my life got a spin. I felt her teachings made sense. But when it comes to the authenticity of knowledge that Paramatma is teaching through Murli and all, my mind is unable to accept and I feel it's the same claim like my previous organisation and every organisation might doing the same with their followers. Though I know that Sister Shivani's guidances are also extracted from Murli itself, but when I read them separately, I get doubtful. Hence, you might understand my dilemma and that is the point where my faith becomes shaky. I think because of that, I am not able to get proper experience in meditation as my intellect gets blocked. My intellect says if God is only one, then why the knowledge varies from organisations to organisations! Paramatma should guide all organisations equally and knowledge should be identical. And you know, my doubts got the fuel when I saw an youtube video of one BK sister who said that she got Dengue as she had done pest control ( cockroaches) because of the karmic accounts and this was told to her in meditation by Paramatma Shiv Baba!!! (I have attached the screenshot). Now, when people spread such messages on the name of Supreme God, do you think it is realistic for ordinary people like us to believe in the authenticity of knowledge! If you could suggest me some points to get out of this dilemma and the ways to experience Paramatma's love and power, it will be very helpful for me. Also, how to check if the guidance I get from meditation is truly Paramatma's or it's just an illusion! I am Shanti Our Email Response To: Everyone reading this From: On behalf of Shiv Baba (our Spiritual Father) Dear Divine Brother/Sister You have asked that is ParamAtma (God) is one and is working for world transformation through many means (including Prajapita BrahmaKumari Ishwariya VishwaVidhyalay) then all knowledge should be similar. We are delighted to tell you that yes Shiv baba is or has done impact to world through many means (souls) God comes to give his inheritance (of Satyug/golden age) to his children. For this Shiv baba has to create children. To create means to re-emerge the original virtues in the souls. Knowledge is the source of all virtues. Hence this Godly knowledge is given through the mouth of Prajapita Brahma (read on page: What is Murli) or page: History of Yagya The world is with differences of opinion. Every religion sees God differently. Hence to do good to them, God has to reveal himself in such different forms. For some God has to reveal as a Father (loving) and for some God has to reveal as a teacher (knowledgeful) and for some as a friend. For example, for us children, God is our father (loving and caring) and also is a teacher (gives knowledge) THINK If all points to the same then what is the real purpose of them? If someone copy and follows the same wisdom as served at PBKIVV (BKWSU) then they won't be able to establish their unique identity. You can think like this - those who take knowledge from Shiv baba but does not join the Gyan Yagya are of another religion (Islam, Buddhism, Christian, etc.). Those souls are not a part of the divine Brahman family and thus they go and create their own group. This is very subtle to understand and it gives immense spiritual joy to know all this picture happening now.  World is very big and you cnanot know everything happening right now. So have faith in Shiv baba. Follow the Shrimat and love everyone. Even if someone decides to follow other's wisdom, he is actually following God's knowledge but indirectly. It is definitely Baba's shrimat to take this Gyan directly through murli.

KarmaYog (Meditation While Working) is about transforming everyday tasks into "mindful living" that nurture both productivity and inner peace. Inspired by the ancient principles of Karma Yoga, this way of living invites you to engage fully with your work while remaining 'focussed' on your spiritual essence, on god. This is Yoga (meditation on God). When we live like this, our karma reflects our spiritual truth. Our actions are inspired and in 'alignment' with God's energy. In this article, we will learn the 'meaning' of KarmaYoga with examples, and learn the 'method' of practising it in the every day life.

"𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜" Share on WhatsApp⇗ The following was written in response to a query we received on our Samadhan WhatsApp group in March 2025. So please read the following in the same context. ———————————— 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 In the hustle of today's life, where we rarely live moments of spiritual reflection, the ancient practice of KarmaYoga emerges as a 'bridge' between action and inner harmony. Mothered first by the fundamental teachings of The Bhagavad Gita and 𝘋𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘬𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘚𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘢 of Gautam Buddha. Mainly speaking, KarmaYoga is—𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 & 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 with the divine. This post explores how bringing meditation into our daily work/life not only enhances productivity but also nurtures a continuous, fulfilling conversation with god, making our life 𝐟𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 in every way. 🪴What we may generally call "𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕡𝕒𝕥𝕙 𝕠𝕗 𝕓𝕒𝕝𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖" is an underlying teaching of many ancient Indian religious scriptures and spiritual paths, all of them mothered by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘩𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘥 𝘎𝘪𝘵𝘢, all of whose 18 chapters revolve around KarmaYoga. Even the Buddha spoke of what he called "𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕞𝕚𝕕𝕕𝕝𝕖 𝕨𝕒𝕪" in his very first sermont. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮 𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 (कर्मयोग)? As traditionally understood and followed in the Indian spiritual & philosophical tradition, KarmaYoga is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 '𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧', emphasizing performing one's duties & deeds (karma) without attachment to outcome (result). 🍁This is the path, not of renouncing the result of your action, but 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞' 𝐚𝐧𝐝 '𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭' 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 (fruit) of that action—whilst doing your karma with dedication, motivated purely by 𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 (not vices). This is the path also of dedicating the fruit of karma to a higher purpose or to the divine (god)—and thus 'releasing attachment' to outcomes—which then 𝚙𝚞𝚛𝚒𝚏𝚒𝚎𝚜 the ego, cultivates 𝚒𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚛 𝚙𝚎𝚊𝚌𝚎, a deeper sense of 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, and ultimately, advances our 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡. 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 & 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 Another way to understand KarmaYog is—it is a practise of staying in remembrance of Shiv Baba (god, our spiritual father, the supreme soul) while doing your daily karma... This karma can be anything—𝚠𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚠𝚛𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚌𝚘𝚘𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚎𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚌𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐, 𝚍𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚒𝚗𝚐, or anything)... While you are doing this karma using your physical senses, your 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥, and you are experiencing this 'connection' as you feel yourself being the SOUL, sitted in the centre of forehead. This is as easy as remembering a human being. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 & 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁? As you have now understand, KarmaYog is not a sitting meditation that you can only do for a few minutes a day, but 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠. We do not need to stop doing our karma in order to connect our mind with the divine (god). Instead, by having this 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 with the higher power, 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞, 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦 & 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 through which we make our life & its relationships better. We are 'empowered' and 'guided' even better when we are in 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 (meditation) with god, our spiritual father. ✶𝙏𝙞𝙥: To understand & practise RajYog correctly, please read our article: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐘𝐨𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Also see this video animation for reference: https://files.shivbabas.org/wp-content/uploads/Flow-of-White-light-from-Shiv-baba.mp4 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟯 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 🌺In the gyan murlis, karma yoga is often recalled as "योगयुक्त स्थिति" (an inner spiritual state of 'union' with the father, shiv baba). And this योगयुक्त स्थिति can be attained and maintained when you abide by the following 3 principles: 1. 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 (पवित्रता) Only when your mind & the thoughts you hold are 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞—the words you speak are 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 & 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠—and your deeds (actions) are 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐬, that you can be in constant connection (योगयुक्त) with the supreme soul, who is eternally pure and holy. Purity is 'essential' for 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. The saints and sages of all religions have observed purity (complete celibacy) for this very reason. 2. 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 (ज्ञान, मुरली) Knowledge is "fire" of the soul. The more a soul 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭 & 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, the more powerful it becomes. Also, when we have a clear knowledge of—WHO I AM, where do i come from, who god is, what this universe, this world is... and what is my purpose—our 𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚜𝚌𝚒𝚘𝚞𝚜𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚜 𝚎𝚡𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚜 and we come closer to god's consciousness. 3. 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 (सेवा) Perhaps the easiest of the three ways is—involving yourself in "selfless service" of others. When you 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 with others, you are in 'union' with the same higher consciousness that created and is maintaining this universe/world. 🪷Do you observe—We naturally experience 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 & 𝐣𝐨𝐲 when we do something good for others without selfish interest. When we 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩, 𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭, 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡, 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 someone in need, we ourself feel uplifted, enriched, and empowered... isnt't it? And this is the simplest way to remain in constant meditation (yog) with the supreme (god, Shiv baba) ———————————— 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 Visit the following recommended and related posts/videos for further insight and guidance on the same: Keeping a BALANCE with loukik (family) and aloukik (spiritual) life What is Manmanabhav?
