Sometimes, because you are not busy in any work, waste thoughts become the greatest work and that attracts you towards itself. You may not have any physical work, but because the power of determination is scattered, the mind and intellect, which you want to keep set, fluctuate.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Even if someone is insulting you, your face should not have any waves of sorrow, you should just remain content. Those who are insulting you will then become tired. It should not be that he may speak for one hour and you spoke for just one second. If you speak or think for just one second, if you showed signs of discontentment on your face, you have failed. "I tolerated so much, I tolerated it for one hour, and then the gas was released from the balloon." So do not become gas balloons.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Do not focus the body on God, not to focus the wealth on God, nor even to focus the intellect on God, but focus the mind on God. The mind exerts its own influence. You become influenced by the mind. The intellect then co-operates with it, and if the mind and intellect move in that direction, it becomes a sinker.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
