To live according to high ethics presents many challenges. No one can tell which ethic should guide which situation. There is no rule book. The solution lies in our own ability to get to the heart of the issue. In order to discern what is really going on in any situation we should first ensure that our mind is free from the clutter of negativity. Then we will have the clarity to understand the motives driving others.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
As we grow in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. When we stop fretting about things that are beyond our control and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, our life can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and easy approach to life enables us to take everything in our stride.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
However it seems easier to give something for the afflicted in a far-off country than to give the right kind of time and energy to the people closest to us. Give respect to those who have no self-respect, treating juniors with, as much sensitivity as our seniors does not come always naturally. And giving respect to the self can be even more difficult. We can start by silently speaking to our mind in a loving way. We need to encourage ourselves when we make mistakes and contemplate on the most beautiful things in life. We should bask in the pure love of God that lies in the heart of the universe.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
