Please SHARE and send this post to BK brothers & sisters in your connection. Share on WhatsApp⇗ 1 Nov When we allow the waters of spiritual wisdom to fall from the mud pot (representing our intellect) on our thoughts (seeds), our thinking becomes clear, positive, and powerful. The seeds germinate which means our efforts bear fruit and we experience success in every sphere of life. 2 Nov Where there is love, a natural environment for others' growth is created. Love gives the ability to perceive the positivity in others and encourages others to bring about that positivity and use it for the benefit of the self and others. 3 Nov The one who understands that God has love for all children, never hates anyone, however negative the other person's charactersitics might be. There is the understanding that it is not the person who is negative, but it is only a negative quality working within that person at that time. 4 Nov The one who has a clean heart is the one who always tries to do the best for those with whom he comes in contact. Thus, the person develops the ability to accept others as they are and ignore anything wrong done by them. 5 Nov Life’s journey will always have scenes that are sometimes negative and sometimes positive. And remember no scenes stay forever. So, while looking at each scene, be free from any anxiety and worry because as we know from our life’s experience – This also shall pass. 7 Nov The ones who are happy, always find something new. Even in the most ordinary and routine situations, they are able to find something interesting. So they can use everything that is with them in the best possible way. 8 Nov To have the ability to mould means to become real gold. I become as flexible and beautiful as pure gold, which is ready to take beautiful shapes when it comes under the influence of the heat of the situation. 9 Nov When I can use my inner powers I can apply a brake to my thoughts in a second. I am able to finish old unwanted habits and be free from the burden of having to be with negativity. So I am able to be a master who is well equipped to face all situations in life. 10 Nov Remind yourself every day that you are a powerful being. Create your inner power. Use your power in every scene today. You are fearless. Live peace and thereby radiate it into the universe. Whatever may be the situations, respond calmly. 11 Nov While giving directions or corrections to someone, I need to check my own attitude, reminding myself of the humility within and only then say what I have to say. With humility my words will be for their benefit and this will enable them to learn. 12 Nov Create No Anger Zones in your workplace and home. There are offices in the corporate world where such zones have been created. In such places, positive thoughts are shared by email or through mobile phone chat or social media and everyone starts their day with messages on positivity, which lays the foundation of a positive day. 13 Nov Think of one person in whom you were not able to tolerate some quality. Now tell yourself that just as a mother accepts her child even with weaknesses, you will accept this person as he is. When you change your attitude towards that person you can be tolerant. 14 Nov When I can perceive my inner greatness, I am able to be content because there are no expectations, but there's only a feeling of being a giver. I find myself to be light and easy and enjoying each moment of my life, slowly moving towards perfection. 15 Nov Whenever you start your day, create a few positive thoughts or affirmations in your mind. Let them be full of success and a lot of determination which will keep you full of positive energy in the entire day, so that actions can be performed without getting tired. 16 Nov Making others aware of their qualities and subtly encouraging them to use these qualities is a great help that I can do for others. When I can give this unique help and cooperation, I not only find benefit for others, but I am also able to get the good wishes of others. 18 Nov Whatever the circumstances I am faced with, I need to make special effort not to reduce my enthusiasm in any way. The more I am able to be enthusiastic, the more I am able to contribute to the progress of others too along with my own progress. 19 Nov The one who is loving, likes to be with the others. Such a person will never try to be away even from people who are not loving towards him/her, but will be able to change the one who is not so loving with his/her own love. So the one who is loving is always successful in relationships. 20 Nov All life's situations are lessons for bringing about progress, for the one who is committed towards perfection. Such a person never expects others to be perfect, knowing that every human being has his own weaknesses. He is instead able to accommodate others' weaknesses. 21 Nov When there is inner strength there is enthusiasm to give the best and also to learn and improve with every obstacle. To work with inner power is to be like a skilled player whose focus is on enjoying the match too rather than just on winning. 22 Nov At all times I must make sure I am constantly moving forward. Looking at others's specialities I need to take inspiration from them. I need to see what aspect I can imbibe in myself too. When I do this I will be able to experience constant progress being free from negativity. 23 Nov When I have the feeling of being victorious, I would naturally want others too to experience the same. I would look for ways to give courage and support to the ones who are losing. This will never let me lose hope in myself or in others and will also win the trust and good wishes of others. 24 Nov When there is inner silence I am able to overcome the negative influence of my habits. Inner silence comes with an experience of positivity. With practice I experience detachment from the situations and am able to feel the inner powers which frees me from the negativity of the situation too. 25 Nov A very beautiful practice on the path of spirituality is to write about your daily activity to God in the night before sleeping or at some other time. God is a beautiful and caring Supreme Parent who is always protecting us and helping us at every moment in the day. 28 Nov When I am able to remain focused, I am not troubled by distractions which lessen my concentration. Instead, I can increase my discrimination power and am able to decide and judge well. This happens because my intellect becomes clean and gets cleared of waste. 29 Nov When I have learned the art of focusing on my strengths, I am able to enjoy the variety scenes that life brings for me. I would enjoy dealing with all these different scenes in a natural and easy way, and also be naturally victorious. 30 Nov When I recognize the inner beauty and am able to give myself time to be in touch with this spiritual aspect, I am powerful and beyond chaos in all situations. I am able to go within to find the immense power and use it in practical situations. ➥Please SHARE (WhatsApp⇗) this post. Send the post link to BK brothers and sisters in your connection.

Diwali, or Deepawali, as said by tradition is an age-old and significant festival recognised and celebrated in India by almost all of its religions (Hindu, Sikh, Jain, SwamiNarayan, South cultures). Deepawali, while it marks the beginning of a new time (New Year), it also marks the final victory of good over evil forces, of light (knowledge) over darkness (ignorance); and therefore we do light up a Diya (a small lamp) to remind ourselves of our own inner light of peace, purity, love, and spiritual joy. Some also celebrate this festival as a remembrance day of lord Rama's return to his kingdom, which again makes the same sense when we say "When the final victory over the inner vices is achieved, God's kingdom is established on earth" Listen to the Audio version of this article This is a complete article on Diwali, for the year 2022. Written and published by the team of the "Shiv Baba Service Initiative". Please SHARE this article with your relatives. Visit General Articles to read our selected most useful articles in English and Hindi. Index: What does Diya represent? Video 1 (BK Shivani) Soul & Supreme Soul Diwali brings Cleanliness Diwali brings Newness Shri Lakshmi visits home Video 2 (BK Shivani) Essence of article Note: There is more than one meaning to the rituals and beliefs connected with Deepawali festival. And we will cover all those aspects and explain the spiritual meaning behind them. Read this article till the end. Festival of Lights! The image of light holds a very deep meaning in many faiths. It is the symbol of the image of God and also the image of one’s true identity- the spirit or the soul. Just as the sea of lights guided Rama back to his kingdom, so too do we have the ability to walk towards the ultimate light- that of God through following a spiritual path of self-discovery. What does a Diya represent? A Diya is lit up in all houses. It is a symbol of the soul's Diya (light or consciousness) being lighted up in the presence of the supreme soul. Diya also translates into 'given' or 'donated'. Diya would mean: "I give all my weaknesses to God", and in return, we do receive his pure energies. With his powers, we can transform ourselves. This festival also reminds us "To Give" whatever we have in excess. This is the way of living in which we not only provide for others who are in need but also bring benefit ourselves self by doing such good deeds. Watch this video ➜ Significance of Diya ~ Diwali message by BK Shivani BK Shivani behen explains the meaning behind lighting up a Diya on the night of Diwali. Also marks a new beginning. *To watch more videos by Sister Shivani on 'Diwali significance', visit the Full playlist on YouTube. Soul & the Supreme Soul Raja Yoga, which means “an intellectual connection with God (Supreme Soul)” is a form of meditation that focuses the attention of the mind on one’s true identity as a light, a point of spiritual conscious energy- the soul. The soul is residing at the centre of the forehead and using the brain and senses to write this article. The "Tilak" marked on the forehead is to remind us that the self is a pure divine soul. The light – the soul – is the core of our being. One of the greatest spiritual truths mentioned in the Gita is the understanding that every human soul consists of several original qualities – like the genetic makeup of the soul. They are: Peace, purity, love happiness, and wisdom. (Refer to: Original Virtues of Soul). Just by turning my awareness within and releasing these original qualities, I will be able to experience them. That is what gives us the power of Hanuman, the wisdom of Krishna, or the courage of Rama. Diwali brings Cleanliness In India, as a child as well, we all would have observed that our parents operate the cleaning of the entire house during the time of Deepawali; and we also helped them clean. But what is the purpose of this only during the time of Diwali? What does cleanliness signify? The real purpose is to clean our thoughts, clean our impure sanskaras, find out our weaknesses and throw them away, and in all clean our inner self and reflect upon our life. "This body in which I the soul live is also my home, which I should keep pure and clean." This is the true significance of cleanliness observed during the new year (and Diwali). Such introverted and spiritual aspects are forgotten with time as we become extroverts. Now is the time when God (Supreme Soul) himself explains what we have forgotten. Diwali brings Newness New clothes, new accounts, presents, sweets, colourful decorations, lighting everywhere, traditional dances- these are all pretty common experiences in the time of Diwali! They all add to the joyous nature of the festival- and it is indeed a "glorious" festival, which also unites families as they gather during its 10 to 18 days long national holiday which is one reason it is loved by so many. Shri Lakshmi visits our Home The belief is widespread in India, that Shri Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) visits our home during the time of Deepawali. And therefore we do cleaning in our house and at the workplace. There is a spiritual meaning behind this belief as well. Till now, we have learned that this festival reminds us to become soul-conscious, to clean our thoughts and heart, to donate whatever we have in excess, and to spread happiness to everyone. And when we do all this, we become a great soul, after whom all prosperity follows. "Prosperity of peace, wealth, health and happiness comes to those who adopt divine values and virtues." Takeaway: Plant and cherish divine virtues of purity, peace, selfless love, truth, mercy, kindness, and knowledge in your life; and all prosperity will follow you. Watch this video ➜ What Do We learn from Diwali? (BK Shivani) BK Shivani explains the meaning behind Diwali celebration and the significance of these four days (Vasu Bras, Dhan Teras, Diwali day, and Lakshmi pooja) Essence of Diwali Article "Festival of Lights" is the remembrance day of our victory against evil forces (5 vices- lust, anger, greed, ego, attachment) We clean the house (which signifies the cleaning of our thoughts, words, and karma) We light a Diya to signify the 'awakening' of the soul, that God comes and makes us conscious of our own self a divine point of light (soul) We light up our souls with the fire of spiritual knowledge of "self-realisation". As we become 'soul-conscious', we attain innate inner peace, joy, and happiness. As we attain a victory over these vices, then Shri Lakshmi (symbol of wealth and prosperity) comes into our life. Diwali marks the beginning of a new way of living. Everything is new! Hence a 'New Year' is celebrated the day after Deepawali.
