Main Points - Episode 16 * Negative thoughts like jealousy, hatred, anger, criticism are toxic and large in number. They make us feel heavy. * When someone is jealous of us, we need to empathize with them, they are insecure and they feel they have not got what they deserve to be happy. * The one who is jealous is not feeling nice and they may not speak nicely about us, but we do not need to justify ourselves by talking badly about them. * Continue to create beautiful clean thoughts of understanding and love for the person who is jealous of us, these pure thoughts will help them to heal themselves. Main Points - Episode 15 * Life is not a competition. Each one is on their own journey, live according to your choices, capacity, values and principles. * The output of our actions is in proportion to our inputs. Inputs could be circumstances, health, resources, and value systems. Our output is not dependent on the output of others. * Past Karma is a very important input factor. Even if all the present input factors of two people are the same, their past karma are different, therefore output will be different and therefore no competition. * If we compromise on our input factor -- values or interfere with the inputs of others, we are creating deep karma and this will influence our output today and in the future. Main Points - Episode 14 * Habits change only when we know WHY we need to change and we really WANT to change. * MIND creates thoughts, INTELLECT evaluates and decides, comes into action, repeated action becomes a HABIT or SANSKAR. * Once it is a habit, the mind does not create too many thoughts and the intellect does not evaluate, the habit comes into action automatically. * To change a habit, first we have to create a new way of thinking. * Shift from automated way of thinking to consciously choosing a new thought. * When the new thought is created, we will start feeling better. Now bring the new thought into action. We are consciously creating a new habit. Main Points - Episode 13 Give advice and corrections to others only after we are doing it in our own lives. Each soul is carrying sanskars of many births, created due to cultures and situations in every birth. Sanskars which are not comfortable need to be changed, else we carry them into our next birth too. Criticism deepens their wounds and sanskars get stronger. Compassion helps them to heal their sanskars. Correcting people means empowering them to do it better in the future. Punishment was for what had happened in the past. Shift from control, discipline, authoritative, punishment to being compassionate, facilitate, guide, empower and heal. Awakening with Brahma Kumaris Self Management Self Management, which is really life management, is learning how to accept total RESPONSIBILITY for our self, have healthy RELATIONSHIPS, play the right ROLE and use the RESOURCES we already have within us in the most effective ways, and thereby fulfill our Iife's mission to be happy and at peace with our self and with the world. Responsibility - No person, event or situation is responsible for our happiness; we are the creator of ALL our thoughts, feelings and actions. Relationships - lt's not what others say or do that hurts us, lt's what we do - with what they say or do that hurts us, let's stop emotionally abusing ourselves. Roles - We are the creators of every scene in our life and hence have the power to play the right role, in the right scene, in the right way, at the right time. Resources - We all have the same resources but one of the factors that make us all unique is how we use those resources - physical, mental and spiritual. The Brahma Kumaris The Brahma Kumaris teaches Rajyoga as a way of experiencing peace of mind and a positive approach to life. The organisation provides opportunities to people from all religious and cultural backgrounds to explore their own spirituality and learn skills of reflection and meditation derived from Rajyoga, which will help develop inner calm, clear thinking and personal well-being. www.bkwsu.org (International) www.brahmakumaris.com (India)
