[bkshivani] Refreshment For The Mind


Silence is a great therapy for healing the self. If we remain very quiet and concentrate, we save a lot of outward energy, with the result that we act and speak less. When that energy is saved, then we are able to turn inwards and even heal our physical body. On a daily basis, the mind needs to go into a quiet space for refreshment and reflection; in much the same way as the body needs regular breaks for rest and nourishment. Refreshment occurs when the mind is able to recharge itself, that is, to re-energize and to have the strength to remain positive, light and creative. Reflection (looking inwards) is the time we give ourselves to refine our internal understanding of external situations so that our interaction with others is of the highest quality. Through reflection, we can change the way we think, feel and interact. We change the way we are voluntarily and without pain.

Spiritual knowledge without silence is like a bird trying to fly with only one wing.

Silence empowers an individual's capacities and enables the recognition and release of their unique potential. In today's world, silence is as necessary for the mind as oxygen is for the body. We need that spiritual breath that sustains our life in a way that is meaningful and fulfilling.

Projection: The one who has faith in the self, in others and in God is constantly courageous. To have courage means to ensure change even in the most adverse conditions. Situations help in bringing change and progress. To bring change means to finish complaints.

Solution: When I am courageous in difficult situations, I don't have any complaints for whatever is happening. I am also not caught up with the past. On the other hand, I am able to constantly use the present moment and move forward towards the future. My vision becomes clear and I am able to bring about quick and easy change.

six behaviours that increase self esteem


Following are six behaviors that increase self-esteem, enhance your self-confidence, and spur your motivation. You may recognize some of them as things you naturally do in your interactions with other people. But if you don't, I suggest you motivate yourself to take some of these important steps immediately.
First, greet others with a smile and look them directly in the eye. A smile and direct eye contact convey confidence born of self-respect. In the same way, answer the phone pleasantly whether at work or at home, and when placing a call, give your name before asking to speak to the party you want to reach. Leading with your name underscores that a person with self-respect is making the call.
Second, always show real appreciation for a gift or complement. Don't downplay or sidestep expressions of affection or honor from others. The ability to accept or receive is a universal mark of an individual with solid self-esteem.
Third, don't brag. It's almost a paradox that genuine modesty is actually part of the capacity to gracefully receive compliments. People who brag about their own exploits or demand special attention are simply trying to build themselves up in the eyes of others—and that's because they don't perceive themselves as already worthy of respect.
Fourth, don't make your problems the centerpiece of your conversation. Talk positively about your life and the progress you're trying to make. Be aware of any negative thinking, and take notice of how often you complain. When you hear yourself criticize someone—and this includes self-criticism— find a way to be helpful instead of critical.
Fifth, respond to difficult times or depressing moments by increasing your level of productive activity. When your self- esteem is being challenged, don't sit around and fall victim to "paralysis by analysis."
Sixth, choose to see mistakes and rejections as opportunities to learn. View a failure as the conclusion of one performance, not the end of your entire career. Own up to your shortcomings, but refuse to see yourself as a failure. A failure may be something you have done—and it may even be something you'll have to do again on the way to success—but a failure is definitely not something you are.

Take one teaspoonful of ginger powder and one teaspoonful of licorice powder. Add half a litre of water and boil the mixture till it reduces to one fourth (about 250 ml.). Strain it and drink it warm. Adding a teaspoonful of honey or one gram of common salt is beneficial and a good ayurvedic remedy for asthma.

b.k. shivani's mail

Given below are few simple methods which help us in the process of rising above action or role consciousness and make the task of switching of consciousness to a spiritual one, easy.

1. Every hour, stop for a few seconds and note down in a small diary, which you carry with yourself through the day, to what extent, in the hour that has just gone by; you have maintained the light and detached awareness of yourself as a soul, a being of peaceful and blissful light, situated at the centre of the forehead, playing its part through the physical body costume and the physical role costume and seeing others the same way. If you haven't had any awareness, that's fine: the light reminder will help you remain attentive for the next one hour period. This will over a period of time become an easy, natural and enjoyable exercise, which is very relaxing.

2. Every 2-3 hours, stop whatever you are doing for a 3-4 minutes and turn your attention within, creating an awareness and feeling of the soul, but a very deep one. Remind yourself of your spiritual relationship or your relationship on a soul level with the Father of the soul, the Supreme Being or God. Experience the relationship. At centres of the Brahma Kumaris and even at their homes and workplaces, the members of the Brahma Kumaris around the world, follow this exercise. Where it's feasible, music is played at these times to make the break effective and soothing. This exercise is called 'traffic control', because the peace experienced in this exercise helps you become aware of the traffic of your thoughts and slow it down, reducing the risk of accidents that are caused due to internal mental clashes as well as clashes with the variety sanskaras or personality traits of people whom you come in contact with.

3. Every time you eat or drink something i.e. you nourish the body, along with that sustain the soul with spiritual thoughts, above the mundane or ordinary. These spiritual thoughts could be based on something positive that you have read in the morning at the start of the day.

Many people feel internally and complain that their intellect is not as clear as they would like. One of the aims of meditation and spiritual knowledge is to make the intellect strong, clear and clean, as a result of which there is an increase in the power of discrimination. An increase in this power helps us maintain a sense of what is right and wrong while performing actions and implement that awareness.

Meditation brings about self-realizations whereby you realize what is happening inside you. Sometimes, while observing someone, we use the phrase: "He/she doesn't know what he/she is doing", referring to someone who is acting in an incorrect way. If we are to act in an appropriate way, we need to be aware and be awake to the consequences (results) of our actions. The voice of the conscience brings with it that state of awareness, awakening, realizing and discrimination. This is because, in meditation you feel quiet and you focus your thoughts inwards. In that state, the sound of the voice of the conscience is perceived and heard. It is a voice that is not affected by material worries or a preoccupation about one's image and public appearance. During meditation, you are completely focused on the present moment of spiritual empowerment and not distracted by: karmas which are necessary but unnecessary to be thought of that time, noise, unrelated ideas of the past and the future, mental chatter, etc., basically everything that separates you from your true spiritual self. In this way you can listen to yourself within and as a result ensure to the maximum extent that your karmas are appropriate and accurate.

When the subtle, spiritual aspect of cooking is taken into consideration, the role of the cook extends from simply creating tasty, nourishing meals with fresh ingredients, to including a spiritual connection with those who will be eating that food. The aim will be to touch and fill the heart as well as the stomach. The love of the cook, and his or her motivation to offer sustenance, will nourish as much as the physical components of each dish. Food cooked by a person who is angry, depressed or full of arrogance or hatred will have a different effect from food cooked with feelings of love, peace and the pure desire to serve. In other words, we are what we eat but also the thoughts, feelings and attitudes that go into what we are eating. Even in today's hectic lifestyle, when there sometimes seems to be hardly enough time to cook, let alone do so peacefully and caringly, it is therefore definitely beneficial to develop a positive attitude towards cooking. Before undertaking any food preparation, remind yourself that the task at hand can and should be an enjoyable and creative activity or experience, rather than an unpleasant, time-consuming activity. A good practice, then, is to meditate before cooking and then to let preparing the meal itself be a creative, meditative experience which yields a balanced, health-promoting diet for the body as a temple for the soul deity. Food always tastes better when it has been flavored or with love and happiness.

raghava reddy -86 th year birthday


    I enter  86 th year of  my age  and feel happy. But mere adding years to age is not enough, as though breath were life .We must bear  in mind Swami Vivekananda's comment.
"They alone live who live for others, rest are more dead than alive"
Life itself has no value. Values have to be built  by learning from profound thinkers, learned writers, wisdom spreading  persons without jealousy and ego.
“Anyone who stops learning is old;
Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young”.
.........Henry Ford
My experience tells me that my happiness lies in arranging my Mind than furniture in my room. It is a decision I take every morning when I wake up. I have a choice.
I can spend the day in the bed recounting difficulty I have with the parts of the body that no longer work or get out of the bed and be thankful if the other parts of the body do not give trouble.
 Each day is a gift of God as long as my eyes open. I derive inspiration from the famous Urdu poet Allama Iqbal who in his oriental wisdom, asked us to learn from the wave, which says of to itself;
WHEN I AM ROLLING, I EXIST;
WHEN I REST, I AM NO MORE
  In oldage  maintain young  spirit as Rabinranath Tagore said;
Let your life lightly dance on the edge of time; like dew on the tip of a leaf”
Eminent Professor  I V  Chelpati Rao in one of his books says  that when a famous woman writer was felicitated in a meeting of her numerous admirers on her 90 Th birthday and a speaker expressed his wish that she should live to become a centenarian, she said in her reply why do you set limits to God’s bounty?
All the sugar is at the bottom of the cup. Real pleasure is advanced age when minds are mature and judgement becomes mellowed. These are the golden years of life”
Prof Dr Rao 92, hale and healthy is visiting professor to various  universities and a distinguished writer. Recently I met him in a function.
I asked him how are you Sir; smilingly he said the sugar is in the bottom of the cup,Raghav Keep going with the  feeling of fulfilment which is the greatest achievement in life.
I was reminded of the ancient Sanskrit saying;
 “When you were born you cried
while the world rejoiced,
Live your life in such a way that when you die
the world cries while you rejoice.”
Coming to my health problem I am bedridden with severe spine ache apart from stomach Cancer. I avoided risky spine surgery in Hinduja Hospital  Mumbai  and  managing excruciating  pain myself by sheer will power keeping in mind these wise words;
"Humble yourself and show panorama of your good heart
Be content with what you have;
Rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing
the whole world belongs to you.
                                -- Tao Te Ching
                    With all rhese dreadful ailments I will try  to be amongst you ..
 Please open the link and hear this song of Rafi.

To conquer ego, humility and honesty are required. We need the courage to look into the self honestly and acknowledge that the characteristics of I know and I control exist and have to be removed, if there is to be truth and happiness inside. We need to remember the original - I am e.g. * I am a child of the Supreme Soul, similar to him in qualities and powers, * I am the soul which is seated on the Supreme Being's (God's) heart throne, * I am a knowledgeful soul, * I am a blissful soul who gifts everyone with the treasure of happiness etc. 

Through meditation and remembering the true - I am (shared above), the pollution of the selfish ego is gradually replaced by the remembrance and the experience of the pure self: the I that is not attached to anything, or anyone, but is completely whole within itself. The expression of this pure entity is not selfish but selfless and the person begins to share with others, everything that he/she possesses – knowledge, specialties, talents, virtues etc. where necessary, facilitating the awakening of the true potential of others, just like sunlight. Light is a great facilitator. It steps in, awakens and then moves on. An ego less person acts, interacts and expresses themselv

ethics


Seven Habits of Highly Ethical People



People are ethical because of social norms, religious beliefs and
laws. Ethical foundations in an individual define the way he
lives the life by differentiating between right and wrong and
behave in a way which improves the situation directly or
indirectly however doesnt harm it at any cost. Ethics have
been defined by relevant governmental and religious authorities
for several domains of life however below article occupies
€˜blanket coverage for all norms of life.
[Click here to join nidokidos]

Below are top seven qualities of highly ethical people.



1-     They are Empathic: Ethical people have high degree
of
emotional intelligence. They understand things from multiple
perspectives covering all the direct and indirect stake holders..
They seek first to understand than to be understood. They have
strong observatory, listening and
analytical skills to understand things deeply. This quality
makes them unique which enables them to
win the trust of others; consequently, people share their
problems with them with open heart and seek their support.



2-    They Forgive and Forget: It requires a brave heart to
forgive and forget. Ethical people dont keep grudges for long
duration. They have the tendency to establish peace all the times
hence keeping the brawls open does not suit them. They stay away
from such complications and
move ahead with life by forgiving and forgetting the matters.

  3-    They are Always willing to Help: Highly Ethical people
always want to improve the situation regardless of their
relationship with a person who is in trouble. They take either
corrective, preventive or suggestive initiatives for resolving
issues. Corrective approach ensures that the matter is fixed by
doing some specific actions. Preventive approach guarantees that
such particular matters do not appear again. They use preventive
approach to reach the root cause of the issue so as to fix it
permanently so as to avoid further frequency of such incidents.
Suggestive methodology is used by them for guiding someone to do
some specific act in order to overcome a
tragic situation.     



4-    They are Implosive: Ethical people are not hyper
sensitive or
explosive personalities. They possess a cool mind and a soft
heart. They avoid
frequent mood swings in order to develop a consistent and stable
personality. They handle indecencies with decency. They know how
to ignore hard and harsh comments and still converse softly. They
know
how to handle idiotic situations. They have high degree of
anger management skills which further empowers their implosive
personality trait.

[Click here to join nidokidos]

5-    They Mind Their Own Business: A lot of people have the
habit of having serious curiosity about every other persons
life. This habit causes them talk about people too much,
spreading rumors and
scattering false news in the society without any verification.
Unlike those, ethical People do not interfere in others lives
unnecessarily; they mind their own business. Ethical people
understand the fact the character assassination is equally a
great sin so they dont give
attention to rumors and focus on crystal clear matters; and avoid
peeping into others personal matters.



6-    They are Flexible adaptable: The wise says, it is
better to bend than to break. Ethical people possess a great deal
of elasticity. They adapt themselves according to the situation.
They dont stick to one mind set. Their continuous
thought process enables them to change their minds easily in
order to improve a situation without making it a matter of ego.
They are not stubborn at all instead portray a flexible behavior
in all kind of
tough situations.


7-They Do not criticize: Too much criticism is the root of
several social and professional problems. Ethical people do not
criticize at first place. In case they need to condemn or
criticize something they follow a positive methodology to
approach the relevant person and
advice in a way which doesnt hurt anyone and convey the message
in an
effective way.
