Believe It Or Not (Part 3)!

We all respect the devis and devtas who are our ancestors and they are our ancestors in terms of time but in reality, they are our initial roles which we played in the world drama. It may seem difficult to believe, but man came down so much in terms of qualities that today it is difficult for man to believe that the ones he has been worshipping since such a long time is his first, second or third birth or his initial births when he first came down in the world from the soul world to play his part. Today, we are uncertain about who we were in the beginning. God, who has seen the world drama right from the beginning, gives us the knowledge of our original births as deities or devi devtas who were the purest human beings with no trace of lust, anger, greed, ego and attachment. If we were to believe in the existence of the soul, we would logically realize that the soul comes down in its purity level after many cycles of birth and death. So isn’t it very much believable that we were perfect deities and then we became humans with weaknesses, of today? Today we cannot call ourselves completely perfect or close to perfect unless we are working on ourselves internally to become better human beings. When we believe in rebirth and the soul’s immortality, this knowledge about our earliest births becomes easy to believe.

Right now is the time to remain above the difficulties of the old world when we have lost our purity on the soul level and connect with the Ocean of Purity – God and regain back our initial status which we have forgotten i.e. a status of the devi devtas. You might wonder that how we will be transformed back into them. That is the present incognito task of God and it is souls from amongst us, belonging to different religions, who will take up the responsibility for the purification of the world by changing themselves and starting a new beginning of the world. This will be a beginning before which the more than 7 billion human souls of the world will return to the soul world and souls will come back in small numbers from the soul world and the world will start with the birth of deities or devi devtas on the planet earth, what is called heaven.

Message for the day 09-08-2020
-----------------------------------------

The one who has the courage to face is the one who can bring about a change.

Expression: When there is a challenge which brings out a negative response, there is an immediate desire to move away from the situation so that the negativity finishes. But the real challenge is not the situation itself, but the expression of a weakness within. The one who has the courage to face this weakness and work on it is able to bring about a change accordingly.

Experience: When I am able to face the challenge of working on my own weaknesses, instead of moving away from the situation I am able to experience progress at every step. Then there will be no feeling of helplessness but I will be able to have full control on the situation. So there is the ability to learn from each situation and move forward constantly.

Believe It Or Not (Part 2)!

There was a time once in the history of humanity when men and women lived in complete harmony and the world was not divided into so many countries as it is today. On the other hand the world was like one small family with a population of only a few lakhs, which later increased as time passed and more and more souls came down from the soul world to accompany the original population of the earth. This one united kingdom is represented by the crown of gold and the one united religion is represented by the aura or crown of purity around the deities or also called as devi devtas, the human beings with divine qualities. Even the idols of deities which are worshipped with so much respect are shown as wearing both these crowns, inside temples of worship. They are extremely beautiful human beings – both in terms of physical beauty as well as inner beauty i.e. their natures are like God’s nature. Also, they are the richest in terms of physical and spiritual attainments. That is why they are given a status equal to God. Most people do not even consider them as different from God but they are very much human, humans who are the purest and with the highest divine qualities. They are not the one God or the Supreme although they are commonly called gods and goddesses because they were similar to God in qualities.

Such divine human beings devis and devtas who are still remembered so much, when they lived, they spent the most beautiful moments in the history of mankind, a time which is also called swarg or heaven commonly by us. All the religions of the world have recorded histories and we know approximately from our history books when they were established. But the deities or devi devtas, who existed prior to the important religions of the world are only remembered in our religious books and not at all mentioned in our history books because the history of those times was not recorded. But because they have existed in the past, people all over the world remember deities or devi devtas like Shri Radhe Krishna, Shri Lakshmi Narayan and Shri Ram Sita.

To have the awareness of being God's instrument is to bring about a positive change.

Expression: When there is the awareness of being an instrument of God, there would be the desire to do the best and be the best. 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 every thing that is done. This would also bring the awareness of all the resources and they would also be used in a worthwile way.

Experience: When I am aware of my own role and what I contribute through my specialities, I recognise the fact that I am a beautiful instrument of God. This awareness naturally helps me be in my state of self-respect under all circumstances. I find myself giving my best and making myself more and more beautiful within. So I find that I am able to bring about a positive change with great ease.

Believe It Or Not (Part 1)!

Remembering the time when the world was a united kingdom of peace, love and happiness which lasted till we came down from our throne of purity and started playing with the dust of body consciousness, ignoring the truth of the universe. The truth was - body consciousness attracts sorrow and soul consciousness attracts the opposite emotion i.e. joy. Why does God never experience sorrow although He is also a player in the world drama? The reason for that is simple. He follows the truth of the universe by remaining soul conscious right through the time He plays His role of world transformation on earth for a few years and also when he stays in the soul world for rest of the time. Imagine thinking about God as someone who is lustful or can you imagine God as revengeful? Does anyone all over the world in different religions every say God is one of these? Many of us have grown up hearing that God created man in his own image, right from our school days. So, a man in God’s image should not ideally be either impure in any way or come under the influence of emotions of jealousy, anger, hatred and ego. Then, why is it that these emotions find a common place in the consciousness of today’s man, so much so that life without them cannot be imagined by many or for most it is unnatural to live without them. Obviously, the saying mentioned above is for how man was in the beginning and not the man which we see today.

We have all also heard of Adam and Eve become sinful after biting the forbidden fruit, which suggests that man in its originality was a human with better virtues – virtues like what God possesses – without any lust, anger, greed, ego and attachment. Believe it or not – man was like God, the way he used to talk, perform actions and come into contact with others. It was as if every human being was a reflection of God, in that paradise or heaven which we talk about very commonly, when man started playing his role on planet earth.

The method to bring about a permanent change is to bring about newness in thinking.

Expression: To bring about a permanent change for the better means getting the mind trained to new ways of looking at the same situation. Only with this new understanding will there be a new response. Trying to bring about change in a superficial way will not bring about a long-lasting change.

Experience: When I train my mind to think creatively I'm able to keep my mind busy. In this way I'm able to free it from thinking negative and waste. Also I find myself enjoying every scene that comes in front of me and I also find myself constantly progressing.

Happier You For A Healthier You

We believe that being healthy keeps us happy. Medical science has evidence that being happy keeps us healthy. Each thought has an effect on the cells of our body. Wrong thinking manifests into an illness in the body. To heal the body, we need to heal our emotional blockages. Let us not hold on to any pains of the past. Our body’s immune system activity fluctuates based on how we feel. Emotions like joy, contentment, bliss or enthusiasm send positive signals to the body. This boosts its stamina. Radiating negative emotions like irritation, fear, criticism or anxiety to the body make it sensitive and prone to sickness. Developing a positive outlook may not prevent illness but it eases pain. When happy we cope better with aches and pains. When sad, healing gets delayed. Happiness promotes a healthy lifestyle. We choose to remain active, follow a healthy diet, relax well and enjoy good social health. If we are unhappy, we disregard these aspects.

Mind has a continuous influence over Matter. Wrong thoughts can create a disease and right thoughts can help in healing. I am not well … I have high blood pressure … I have a family history of diabetes these thoughts radiate energy of disease. Repeated thoughts of an existing disease radiate the same energy to the body and intensifies the disease. Use the power of your thoughts and words to heal your body. Create only thoughts of normalcy and perfect health to allow your body to come back to its normal state. Pause today during the day to heal your body with your right thoughts and powerful words - My body is perfect and healthy.

The method to finish waste thoughts is to deal with the mind with love.

Expression: When there are waste thoughts in the mind which one tries to stop, it becomes difficult to do that. There is discomfort and difficulty experienced. On the other hand, when the mind is taught to take the right direction with love, there is a quick and dramatic change.

Experience: When I learn the art of speaking to my mind with love, I am able to free myself from waste thoughts without any feelings of suppression. Concentration too becomes easy and all thoughts are directed towards the right direction.

Our Role When A Loved One Is In Pain

We all intend to shield our loved ones from disappointments, hardships and challenges in their life. Some of us believe their hurt is our hurt and we find it unbearable to see them suffer. Safeguarding family and friends in our different roles may be tempting. But the moment we create negative emotions, we are only adding pain to their existing pain, and depleting them further instead of healing. Whenever family or friends are in pain, or when they make a mistake, we feel angry or hurt. They need us to be stable at those moments, but we react. We lose awareness that they are already in pain, and our reactions are hurting them further.

Follow these steps to be a source of strength to someone who’s in pain –

1. When someone shares their pain, pause, step back and detach yourself from the heavy vibrations in that scene. Listen calmly. Your stability becomes their strength.

2. Even when someone makes a mistake, he inherently has the knowledge of rights and wrongs. He may only lack the power to implement what is right. Your role is to empower him and not just advice. Radiate thoughts of love and words of encouragement. Show him his strengths, highlight his virtues to others, and envelop him in blessings.

3. When emotionally detached, you become a counsellor and see different perspectives. Your mind thinks clearly. Your compassion helps you choose right responses.

4. Bless them with highest-vibration thoughts and words. This is their empowerment.

Your stability goes a long way in healing and helping people. Let’s experience this affirmation of our role when people are in pain.

I am a loveful being ... I am emotionally independent … people’s behaviours do not influence me … I am stable always … irrespective of the vibration of people and situations … if someone is in pain … I listen to them … I understand their behaviour … I create the vibrations they need ... my vibrations heal them … their thoughts … feelings shift … they are happy … healthy … successful.

Self-respect brings constant learning and an experience of success.

Expression: Where there is self-respect, there is naturally a positive and elevated state of mind. There is openness and enthusiasm to bring about progress in one's life. Everything that is done is towards this end. So, the one with self-respect naturally reveals one's speciality in all thoughts, words and actions.

Experience: When I am able to maintain my own state of self-respect, I am able to enjoy the beauty that life brings. I'm able to understand, accept and make use of all situations in the right way. So, whatever the situation may be, for me there is a constant experience of progress.

Recording Scenes Carefully

Our every thought, word and behavior leaves an impression on the soul. They are like recordings on a CD. So we, the souls, are a collection of all these permanent recordings which become a part of our personality. Each recording needs to be pure and positive, as it influences our mind, body and relationships, not just in this life but in future lives too.

Sit back and teach your mind to pay attention to create only beautiful recordings on the soul, in every scene. Repeat this affirmation everyday to stop creating a negative feeling and record a negative experience, in response to unfavourable events. Qualities like purity, peace and love become ingrained in your personality. When you take care of what you think, speak and do, your every karma becomes right. This automatically creates a perfect destiny.

Affirmation -
I am a happy being. Today…I cross many situations…I create many experiences…I record them all permanently on the soul. I take care… all that I think, feel and interact… with situations and people…is getting recorded…there is no retake in this recording… it is eternal… it always remains with me. I choose to record right thoughts only. Some habits of people which I reacted to…. If someone is abusive, critical, aggressive, manipulative…. now I understand them…I face their habit with stability… I record that they are not insulting me…they are a victim of their nature… I do not create hurt… I create a recording of compassion… not pain or rejection. If a situation is unpleasant…I accept it as it is … I don’t question it …I don’t resist it. I don’t create negative recordings in any scene. My pure and positive recordings keep my mind peaceful… body healthy… relationships strong…they earn me blessings.

The power of determination brings all thoughts into practice.

Expression: There are a lot of thoughts that come into the mind that should come into practice immediately. These thoughts come according to the demands of time or according to the kind of people that one comes into contact with. But the only way to bring all these thoughts into practice is to use the power of determination. Where there is determination there is the commitment to use all the resources for the realisation of that thought.

Experience: When I am able to use the power of determination, I am able to realise my inner potential and use it in the right way. So I am able to experience constant progress, because all my thoughts are for my own self progress and all these thoughts naturally come into practice. I never give up anything with temporary setbacks but am able to do everything for the constant progress of the self.

The Ego Sacrifice (Part 3)

Remember that in every relationship the person who keeps the other ahead is the one who leads the relationship although it may seem otherwise. Keeping the other ahead means saying yes to the other person even if at times you do not agree with the other person’s opinion in a particular matter of common interest. Very often in offices and in homes; you will see at some places, people are so closely knit together. At some other ones, there are negative energy as well as negative word exchanges due to different ways of how people manage the relationships. At one place, the two office colleagues have such a beautiful bond with each other where a day at the office is like a smooth ride and they will never quarrel with each other. On the other hand, in another office, two different people just cannot work with each other and cannot see eye to eye. The main reason for this is simple – I am smarter than you or I am more efficient or I work harder than you or I am more intelligent etc. Such thoughts spoil the relationship and don’t let it become a beautiful bond full of love and closeness.

It is commonly said - forget the differences and become friends. But an important point to note that differences between any two people will always exist. There are no two people with exactly the same view points and ideas. But these differences have to be forgotten. In other words they have to be resolved. That is the key to success. Success in an office is not measured only by your talents and how well you perform alone but also by how well you handle your relationships or how sweet and humble you are. Such people are respected immensely in a workplace. People want to be in their company much more than the ones who are egoistic and extremely rigid in their views and are unable to bow down or sacrifice the ego when required. Remember life is short. So why not enjoy each day with your parent, your spouse, your office friend, your mother-in-law, whoever it may be. They all matter to you and you all matter to them. So cherish their blessings by making the ego sacrifice.

Love creates the right environment for others' positive growth.

Expression: Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created. Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and gives the encouragement to others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others.

Experience: When I have love for others, along with perceiving their specialities, I am also able to recognise and use my specialities and inner powers more and more. Knowing and using these specialities is naturally for the benefit of those around me. This gives me an inner experience of power which makes me a constant giver and a support for those around me.
