Thought for Today-26.02.13

Quick, Patience
Instead of rushing around, talking fast, walking fast,
thinking fast .... practice patience.

Patience doesn't make you slow. 
With patience, you'll be able to do 10 hours of work in 2 hours. 

You'll do what's needed, easily and quickly without over doing things or wasting time in things that don't matter.  The result: you save both time and energy
.

.
Make consistency your routine.

It creates a pattern of discipline, a steady coherent order in your life which will give you peace of mind.
Consistency builds integrity and trust in relationships.

But watch out, as steady and consistent behaviour can easily become monotonous or too comfortable.
It can lead to boredom and lack of initiative.

So, just remember, there's a time to be consistent and there's a time to break the pattern of change, to be spontaneous or do things differently.

Self Transformation (Change) (Part 4)

Here are some practical reminders and steps we can take to grow spiritually and bring out transformation (change) in ourselves:

Attend a meditation centre
The starting point is knowledge, or understanding. It is not possible to begin this journey without some kind of route map (directions). There are Brahma Kumaris centers of Raja Yoga meditation throughout the world that provide these maps and help a person begin his, or her, practice of meditation. At these centers, information is shared on how the mind functions, the power of positivity, spiritual values and the art of effective concentration. All of these maps help us to know ourselves better and, when translated into our personal daily life, give us strength in the form of self-respect and happiness.

A Raja Yoga meditation centre is a spiritual school, where we can learn the original arts of true living; it is a spiritual clinic, where we receive the understanding of how to apply the healing medicines of peace, trust and respect in our relationships; it is a spiritual family, where we realize that each member has a uniqueness and goodness that needs to be appreciated and genuinely accepted, and where we pay attention to avoiding the trap of focusing on weaknesses and the roles of others.

Message for the day 26-02-2013

To use the treasures within is to increase them.

Projection: Whenever there is a difficult situation, we always expect others to listen and understand. And so we feel helpless as the situation seems beyond our control and we don't feel we can do anything to change it. Then we don't make any attempt and the situation remains as it is.

Solution: Instead of looking at others we need to look within and we'll find a lot of treasures that we can use to change the situation. These treasures, our own inner powers and virtues are such that the as we continue to use them in situations, we find them increasing.


In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
