Desires and dependencies make us into thieves. Inner cleaning, however, fills our actions with spiritual honesty, and our motives become selfless. There is a steady stream of elevated thinking. Then God is able to work through us, and our only desire is to become good, an instrument for God. Keeping ourselves in peace, love and mercy is the basis for being able to talk to God and having Him hear what we say. "Don't come into sound too much, stay in the Home, with Me". This is what He is signaling to us now. Such signals, filled with His love, endear us to Him very much.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Our ability to be of help is compromised if we are negatively influenced by our surroundings. However, as purity and truth develop in the soul, we are able to draw power from the Supreme. We are more able to discern what we take into ourselves. We work only with that which is useful. We remain the master - in charge of our feelings, attitude and behavior. Our ability to be of service stabilizes.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
Purity in thought keeps us clean and easy and is the basis of peace and love. Purity in behavior brings inner strength. Wrong thoughts, words and actions, on the other hand, destroy our power and also distance us from God. Impurities of this sort draw us into a world of confusion: what is happening, what to do, how? However, when you see a fire, you don't stand around asking questions. You don't even wait for the fire brigade. You just offer your help, immediately, from the heart.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
