The World Renewal

Peace is a state of being. In this state, man’s mind is inharmony. It has no conflict with the intellect. Man’svolition, desire, will or intent are in consonance with his

judgement. Such a mental state and such a personality areessential to peace.

Harmonious MindIn order to understand clearly the role of harmonisation,

which is a sure sign of mental health, let us take the analogy ofphysical health. If, in the body of an individual, all the organsare working in complete isolation from each other and withoutany mutual co-ordination – the lungs breathing hard irrespectiveof the heart pumping rapidly and the muscles getting tense indisregard to the man feeling fatigued and wanting to sleep –then the person will become physically sick. If the body is tobe healthy, each of its parts and organs has to discharge itsindividual function in harmony with the other, considering thebody to be one functional unit as a whole.

The same principle is applicable to human personality also.Various units of personality, such as impulses, motives, attitudes,inborn and acquired traits, inner urges, potentialities, etc. shouldwork in harmony. If different potentialities of man work towardsdifferent goals and in disregard to the rest of the personalitytraits, there will be disharmony, resulting in mental disordersand disturbance, thereby causing ultimately the breakdown ofpersonality and mental illness. For example, if one mental traiturges the person to earn and amass a lot of wealth and theother gives him fear, checking him from investing money and athird trait forces him to lie down lazily in rest and comfort andthe fourth gives him rage so that he cannot behave calmly andsweetly with his colleagues, customers or clients, then the resultwill be frustration, caused by non-attainment of goals, mentaldisturbance due to rage and dissatisfaction with the self andothers, and there will be mental conflict and illness. If, on theother hand, his urge for money works ·in co-ordination with hispotentiality for work and also with his rational sense that asks

The World Renewal4 March, 2018

After 2-3 months of dry,cold winter, we in Abuare appreciating the

sunshine albeit with subduedeffect (as cool and dusty windscontinue to blow). As the sunmoves towards the North, eachday we find a change inatmosphere. The trees havemostly shed their old leaves, andthe new, colourful and softleaves and flowers are emergingall around, like the rosy cheeksof little children! It has startedbecoming warm during thedaytime, and raw mangoes canbe seen hanging from most ofthe mango trees. The magic ofNature is, indeed, so special,which is filling our minds andhearts with hope and grandeur.

Spring is the time of theFestival of Colours, Holi, whichis as old as our mythology. Eachyear, the different storiesconnected with Holi replay onour memory track, with the mostpowerful one being that of HolikaDahan. The little prince,Prahlad, is symbolised by thethread that is tied around thesweet koki, and this emergesunscathed from the fire,representing Prahlad’s victory

and freedom from the clutchesof Holika, the female devil.While following the path ofbhakti, we had pondered indepth on the significance of thisstory and how human soulsevolve during the cycle of time;living with the highest principlesfrees the self from the bondageof the five elements, and allowsus to play a new role in a blessed

life as Prahlad did after theburning of Holika.

Holi marks the newbeginnings in which life becomesmore colourful and radiant. Forthose on the spiritual path, it’san occasion that inspires us toward off our subtle weaknessesand emerge as the embodimentof love, while maintainingdivinity in our relationships. Holiis further connected with thedays of Shree Radha and ShreeKrishna, when they played Holi

in ecstasy, smearing friends andfamily with coloured powders inVrindavan, as well as sprinklingnectar or showering goldenleaves. Again, this is symbolic ofthe dawn of a new, vibrant agewhen each young girl will be likeShree Radha, and each youngboy will be like Shree Krishnain attributes and self-respect,and together these souls willhave a lot of fun in harmony andunity. Holi is an expression ofthe inner stage of super-sensuous joy, which a soul attainswhen there is purity in thoughts,words, actions, and relationships.It represents total commitmentto the Supreme and to followingHis Elevated Directions.

Our late senior brother, Bro.Jagdish Chander had written avery beautiful article on Holi,titled: “Holi reminds us to beHoly!” The Brahma Kumariscelebration of Holi is, indeed,very unique. A special Bhogoffering of sweets and fruits ismade to the Supreme Being,followed by a wonderful Holimessage from AvyaktBapDada, through theresponsible Trance Messenger.

This year in Pandav Bhawan,the Brahma Kumaris HQ, divinesister B.K. Shashiben offeredHoli Bhog, and brought back abeautiful message about theway Holi was played in thesubtle region. Listening to theessence of this spiritualmessage, our readers would

HOLI MARKS THE ONSETOF THE SPRING SEASON

Editorial

The World Renewal 5March, 2018definitely feel uplifted to thatconsciousness of being in yourangelic forms, playing Holi inthe subtle realm with differentcoloured rays of light: “Theentire subtle region wasdecorated in coloured light.Wherever Baba’s puredrishti was focused, it was asthough sparkling stars wereemerging. A lotus flower wasplaced in front of all thesisters and brothers, whowere before Baba, and theywere asked to take the lotusin their hands. The lotuschanged into a pichkari(water syringe/spray gunused to shower others withcoloured water in Holi). Babareminded the long-lost andnow-found spiritual childrenthat in order to use the spraygun, that is sprinkle otherswith virtues and powers, stayin the awareness that “Godis my Companion” and “Godis my world”. This is how youcan colour others withspirituality and make theirform like that of Gopas andGopis. Remain in the joy ofbeing God’s fortunatechildren, and share this joywith others. Support othersand progress aheadtogether.”

The photographs taken allover India in Holi celebrations,especially of the youth andchildren, are spectacular. In

some parts of India, especiallyRajasthan, the period of Holicarries on for 2 weeks generallywith dry colours. In differentestablishments, including theDefence Forces, Officers playHoli together as friends, puttingaside ranks and status, whichbeautifully epitomises thecharacteristic of Holi: tomaintain feelings of equality andvisualise all as happy membersof one spiritual family. After theplay and games, people get aclean shower and put on freshclothes, and then join in the HoliFeast. In Bharat, we truly feelhow enriching are our festivals,customs and systems, thatbecome the foundation for livesof contentment and fulfilment.

We would like to enrich yourlives with the invaluable gems ofGodly wisdom, enshrined in GodFather Shiva’s Mahavakya(Elevated Directions) sharedthrough Alaukik Father,Pitashree Brahma. Theseversions when properlyunderstood and inculcated indaily life, help us enjoy thebeauty of a life founded onspiritual values. Just as Holi isplayed with a range of colours,let us illuminate our lives andthat of others, with the preciousdiamonds and rubies of Godlyknowledge, known only to, andshared by, the Supreme Being:

“By following Shrimat orGod Father’s Directions, you

can enable anyone to attainthe fortune of the kingdom for21 births. Those who study ina pathshala (place of study)know that they are students.People at other satsangs don’tconsider themselves tobe students. Students havetheir aim and objective intheir intellects. You areGod’s students. God speaks:“I teach you Rajayoga andchange you from humanbeings into deities. There usedto be the kingdom of deities.As were the kings and queens,the deities, so were theirsubjects; they changed fromordinary man to Narayan.This aim and objective is first.This is Rajayoga and so Hewould make you into kings ofkings. In every cycle, I comeonce again to give you backthe kingdom you lost. It wasn’ta human being who snatchedyour kingdom away. It wasMaya (negativity) whosnatched it away and so younow have to conquer Maya.There have been innumerablewars of limited kings and theyreceived limited kingdomsthrough those wars. However,with this power of yoga, youestablish the kingdom of theworld. This is called the non-violent war. This war doesn’tmean that you kill or are killed,because this is the power ofyoga. This is so easy! By

The World Renewal6 March, 2018having yoga with God, webecome conquerors oversinful actions; Maya cannotthen attack us.”

“The Supreme Father, theSupreme Soul, would notestablish hell. They makean effigy of Ravan because heis everyone’s enemy. TheFather, who establishesheaven, has to be placed on

your eyes. Devotees rememberand call God to come andliberate them from sorrow, andthat is why He comesand liberates them. TheFather is the Liberator andalso the Spiritual Guide. Hetakes you back to your landof peace. There is the showerof the imperishable jewels ofknowledge on those, who are

with the Beloved. No valuecan be placed on these jewelsof knowledge. The SupremeFather, the Supreme Soul,Himself, says: My soul, whomyou call God, also hasa part recorded in Me oflooking after devotees andgiving happiness to everyone.It is Maya who causeseveryone sorrow.”

As 8th March comes closer,we proudly honour InternationalWomen’s Day, but moreimportantly, we should celebratethe feminine qualities ofCompassion, Tolerance,Kindness (to name a few) andthe powers to Create andSustain. One of the resoundingsentiments shared by highlyaccomplished and successfulwomen of any profession/background is that the morefemales are empoweredinternally, the more they are ableto create their path, lead the wayand benefit everyone. It isamazing to note that 82 yearsback, the foundation of the onlywomen-led Spiritual Institution inthe world, the Brahma Kumaris,was laid amidst challenges, butwith the conviction of theSupreme Being and Hismedium, Pitashri Brahma Baba,the women were not only to beconsidered equals, but theyneeded to be given a leading

HONOURING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY CONSTANTLYrole in the task of positivetransformation andupliftment of society!

As per the direct Shrimat ofthe Incorporeal Supreme Soul,God Father Shiva, the corporealBrahma Baba empoweredmothers and sisters with neweducation and spiritual disciplinesto become spiritual leaders,committed to the noble tasks of“Self Transformation for WorldTransformation”. Temporarytransformation is taking place atevery moment, but giving anew direction to the entirehuman race requires greatvision and a proper workingplan, and this was revealed tothe founding generation ofPrajapita Brahma KumarisIshwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya inthe late 1930s.

From Day 1, the concept ofthe Godly message intendedfor every human being onearth has been to visualiseone’s own true nature, and to

be enthusiastic to regain thatlost sovereignty of anelevated, righteous living.This most unique message hasspread in all corners of the worldthrough different ways andmeans of Godly service.

As per the latest Shrimat, allwe need to focus on isexperiencing a very powerfulstage of inner consciousness,during regular practice of SahajRajayoga meditation. Positiveand powerful vibrations areneeded to absolve the influenceof negative traits. Human souls,whether in male or femalecostumes/bodies, who had beenpreviously hidden by layers ofthe dust of body-consciousness,vices, peacelessness andsorrow, can now revivethemselves and relive theiroriginal nature of love, peace,purity, wisdom and contentmentlike that of our Supreme Parent,Teacher and Guide.

This article contains somequestions of the seekerand the answers of Dadi

Janki, which are very useful formaking better spiritual effortsand personal spiritual progress,as Dadi’s answers are quitejustified in clearing the doubtsof the seeker. The questions andanswers are mentioned asfollows:Question: I am just one B.K.out of thousands. Does Babanotice me? How can I bespecial to Him?

Ans.: Baba has made mebelong to Him and He pays alot of attention to me. This is truefor each one of us. If youquestion this, it means there isnot much self-confidence. Whywouldn’t Baba like you? He isproud of each child. He knowsus. He knows that we belong toHim. I belong to Baba and Hebelongs to me.Question: Remembrancebegets remembrance. Howcan I draw His remembranceto me?

Ans.: This is the time of theConfluence Age. It is only at this

time that He tells me to belongto Himself. If we sit in silencenow, Baba will pull us with thethread of love. It doesn’t matterhow many hundreds ofthousands of B.Ks there are, Hedefinitely remembers me.Question: If I give sorrowwithout intention, I didn’t havethe aim to give sorrow, thenwho is to blame?

Ans.: It’s my job to haveinteraction of Godly love witheveryone. This is God’s familyand time is short. I need to havethe aim to have good interactionwith everyone. If the otherperson is taking sorrow fromwhat I have done, I shouldapologise. He/she may eventake sorrow from my tone ofvoice. Then apologise; ask forforgiveness. Don’t be carelessin this. A true effort maker willmake effort not to give any typeof sorrow. My effort should besuch that I feel that Baba ispaying attention to me.Question: How can I maintaingood wishes and pure feelingsfor everyone?

Ans.: To have good wishes

for everyone should be natural.It doesn’t matter what they arelike. I will get the return of myfeelings. If I don’t have goodwishes, what am I thinking? Iam responsible for myself. Weare Brahmakumars andBrahmakumaris; we need topay attention to the pattern ofour thoughts. A good quality B.K.will have good wishes foreveryone. To have waste is notcleanliness. Even not to care isnot cleanliness. Sit down andcheck your effort throughout theday. At least, have good thoughtsfor yourself and you will thendevelop the pattern. This willlead to good thoughts for others.Then I am not wasting time, Iam using time in a worthwhileway. When we say ‘Om Shanti’we have good feelings. Wewant everyone to experiencethat feeling. We create anatmosphere in this way.Question: Is it the final stageto have equal love foreveryone? Is it possible?

GOOD WISHES FOR EVRYONESHOULD BE NATURAL

Contemplation of self and God is the inseparable part of yogic life.

The World Renewal

8 March, 2018

Throughout our 84 births wehave karmic accounts. Someof them may be negative.How can I have equal love?

Ans.: It is definitelypossible. There shouldn’t be asingle moment that we feel wedon’t care about a particularperson. This type of languageis not the sign of a yogi soul.Recognise the time; even in thepast something may havehappened, but past is past. Seethe time. In order to make goodeffort, I have to make the pastthe past. There should be thisecho within. Don’t think of thepast and don’t haveexpectations for the future.The time that we are goingthrough now, is to make effortfor the future. To use time in aworthwhile way is necessary.From my heart, I feel that onmy right side Baba is with meand in my breath Baba is withme. On my left is my fortune.It is my fortune to have thefeeling that Baba is with me. Iwant you all to have the

experience of Baba’scompanionship. I am grateful toBaba. This gratitude isnecessary as Baba is helping meat every step and I am earningan income. This study iswonderful and I need a lot oflove for this study; Baba isspeaking this magical Murliespecially for me. The Murlidoesn’t allow any worry tocome in. Do you experience thismagic in the Murli?Question: I may not get onwith someone; how can I payattention not to increase mykarmic account?

Ans.: I have seen suchpractical examples. Even thethought that ‘I can not get alongwith this person’, bringsnegativity into the relationship.If you are happy to be distantfrom that person, you are thenbeing influenced by your ownnature. I have never let go ofmy good feelings. The heartdesires that they will changeand I never had the thought thatthey won’t change. Even if they

don’t seem to be changing, Ikeep good feelings for others.In fact, when I keep goodfeelings, I am benefiting myself.Each day my stage should besuch that I am ready to leavethe body. In my remembrance,there is Baba. That atmospherespreads across the world.Others should be able to drawthat remembrance tothemselves. Question: Is love the mainaspect of this path? Did allthe ancestor souls surrenderbecause of love? What is themain foundation ofknowledge; is it love forGod?

Ans.: God is the Father,Teacher, Satguru, Mother, andFriend. If I have thoseexperiences, my life becomesvaluable. If you haveexperienced something once,then you want others toexperience the same. In thebeginning, we used to say,“Caution each other andprogress.”

LOOK FOR GOODNESSIn everything, goodness is there; our goal is to find it. In every person, the best is there;our job is to recognise it. In every situation, the positive is there; our opportunity is tosee it. In every problem, the solution is there; our responsibility is to provide it. In everysetback, the success is there; our adventure is to discover it. In every crisis, thereason is there; our challenge is to understand it. By seeing the goodness, we’ll bevery enthusiastic and our lives will be richer. – Awakening With Brahma Kumaris

In our spiritual life, we allmust have resolved toreenergise and reinforce our

efforts to augment our spiritualattainments in many ways. Itmust have included many timesof Rajayoga meditationsessions, special sittings,practising soul-consciousness,planning special serviceprogrammes, etc. Many of usmust have remembered aboutthe simple techniques given bythe Lord Shiva in His discoursesfor spiritual progress in the fieldof remembrance or service. Aswe are all in the path ofRajayoga meditation, which weenjoy, the number of peoplejoining this meditationmovement has been steadilyincreasing because of itssimplicity and benefits. Ourmeditation practice starts at 4a.m. every day; we call itamritvela time for 45 minutes.This meditation time is the mostsuitable for higher spiritualendeavours. This time ischarged with magnetic spiritualforce from the Supreme Souland those who participate in this

meditation will definitely rejoicesuper-sensuous joy. The LordHimself has formulated simpleand small steps for us toaccumulate spiritual power ineveryday life. For example, oncethe amritvela time is over, thencomes the spiritual knowledgediscourse session in the morningby 7 a.m. Before that, there is asession on meditation for half anhour. This helps us to mentallyprepare for receiving the Godlyversions in a calm and quitemindset, which is something likea paddy field that is ready forsowing the seeds in it. One isable to absorb the knowledgethat is read out in the class withsatisfaction.

as is where is basis so as to seethat the aspirant is able tocontrol, regulate and concentratehis thoughts at any time duringthe day. This exercise helps usto accumulate spiritual powerand also enhance the duration ofour spiritual endeavours in a bigway when all the traffic controldurations are put together. Thetraffic control with a duration of3 minutes session is spread overthe day starting at 5.45 a.m., 7a.m., 10.30 a.m., 12 noon, 5.30p.m., 7.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m.Along with this traffic control,there is a hourly basis one minuteduration traffic control time,which is to be practised at thebeginning of each hour from 9a.m. going upto 8 p.m. in theevening. This will also be addedon to our already existingmeditation chart. Similarly, wedrink water for minimum 10 to15 times during the day. Everytime when we drink water, weshould remember the Lord. Weshould charge the water with thepower of thoughts looking at thewater with vibrations of purityand peace, and such waterworks as a medicine for thebody. All of us know that thebody is made up of 70% waterand it is very healthy when suchspiritually charged water is fedto the body. Similarly, we taketea, coffee, cold drinks and soon, and during such time if wetake them with yoga practice,

our yoga chart will rise up.Normally, we all will have ourfood for 3 times in a day. But,for some others, there are smallmeals, which are spread over 6times or 8 times. It is alsopossible that in between thereare snacks, tea, coffee, etc.During all these intervals, we aresupposed to remember the Lord;and, first of all, we should offerHim whatever we eat and thankHim for having provided us thefood articles. In case, we spendone minute each for offeringthese food articles, it getsaccumulated and our meditationchart will further show anupward trend. It is possible forus to take bath one or two orthree times during the day. Suchtime is also good for us toremember the Lord. In the bathroom, there is silence and it willhelp us to remember the Lordbecause we are detached fromthe outside homely atmosphere.

Strict observance ofevening time meditation

schedulesAgain, evening time is very

conducive for meditationpractice. During the sun set time,especially in India, in every housea stand lamp is lighted andmembers sit before it and chantthe name of the Lord of theirchoice like Rama or Krishna, andthis time is very auspicious forprayer. We all should find some

time to meditate during this timebecause of its special auspiciousnature of the time. Further more,it is also considered anotheramritvela, because on the otherside of the globe it would beamritvela time, brahma muhurttime, during which people wouldbe sitting in meditation. At leastone hour meditation is necessaryso as to purge our sins committedover a number of births. Again, asmall stint of meditation spell canbe added further. For example,whenever we go out of the house,we should sit in God’sremembrance and along withHim you move out of the house,which will be a protective act forour safety and safe return.Suppose, we travel by car or twowheeler, we should sit inmeditation for a minute and thenstart the car or two wheeler andwe can also request the Lord tosit with us in the automobile andHe becomes our companion.Suppose you are working in anoffice, and in that case as soonas you reach the office do notstart working instantly. Rather, sitdown for a minute at your seatfor a minute or two, rememberthe Lord and then along with Himstart your work of the day. Atevery meeting or a function, youcan make it a point to start theproceedings with a minute ofsilent prayer, which will spread apeaceful vibration in the

atmosphere. Whenever we gointo the kitchen, it is necessaryfor us to sit in Lord’sremembrance for at least 2 to 5minutes and in silence if we startcooking, the act of cooking willbe an occasion for celebration.We will enjoy the love of theLord and cook food withenthusiasm and interest.Because, when we offer the foodto the Lord and the foodbecomes prasada or medicinewhich is good for the body andthe soul; then only we can takethat food. Whenever visitorscome to our place of residenceor office, we must prepare tomeet them. We should becomesoul-conscious and rememberthe Lord and also think that weare going to meet our brothersouls, and if we meet them withthat consciousness, there will bea special satisfaction. When it istime for sleep, we can sit inmeditation for at least 15 to 30minutes and say good night to theLord, after submitting the dailyaccounts of our activities to Himand sleep in His lap in peace.

Further, we all know that purityis the foundation of Godly life.Celibacy is a must. Along with thatwe should also observe the codeof conduct that is laid down bythe Lord for the aspirants who arecalled ‘Brahmaacharis’.Brahmachari or Brahma-acharipoints to leading a godly life. We

Deficiencies inside us bring abouta spiritual void or the lack of wholeness(fullness). As we lay the foundation ofour lives on deficiencies orweaknesses, the result is suffering,sorrow and peacelessness. If we actin harmony with spiritual virtues andqualities, the result is cooperation,happiness, peace, contentment and,finally, wholeness.

A spiritual void leads to selfishnessand causes the creation of greedinside us. We want to have more andpossess more, which generates astate of expectation and stress. Wefill our lives with things and objects tocover up deeper deficiencies. Then weare afraid of losing them. We generateexpectations of all kinds, and whenthey are not fulfilled we react withanger, frustration, fear ordisappointment. The inner emptinessmakes us become greedy. We fillourselves with objects, properties andthings. We take and consume morethan what we can give to the Universein the form of positive thoughts,feelings, vibrations, actions, etc. andthis brings about imbalances in theself, in relation to others and with theelements of Nature.

Something similar happens on aphysical level. The body has a capacityto recycle and eliminate waste throughdifferent mediums. However, since weconsume more toxins than the bodycan process, it leads to imbalance andwe are more prone to feelingphysically ill and unfit and developingailments, diseases, etc.

must have sattvik diet. What is a sattivik diet? The food articlesshould be acquired through the money earned by truthful andrightful means. Such food articles should be cooked in theremembrance of the Lord and taken in His remembrance afteroffering it to Him. We should take the food in silence and in Hisremembrance. We must keep us away from all kinds of vicesand, in turn, inculcate divine virtues. We should make it a pointto see that we look at the virtues of the people coming in contactwith us and pick up virtues and inculcate such virtues in our life.It is necessary to keep the company of like-minded people, whoare keen to study the Godly knowledge with a lot of interest andinvolve in Godly service. We must maintain simplicity, royalty,maturity, cheerfulness, peace and happiness. We must see thatsoul-consciousness is practised every day as much as we try toremember the Lord. We must be inclined to listen to otherscarefully with respect and regard and give proper responseswithout hurting their feelings. Courtesy, politeness, civility andhumility are also to be practised in everyday life.

Special spiritual endeavoursLet us practise the small, small efforts, which are constantly

being underlined by the Lord almost in everyday discourse. Infact, spiritual effort-making involves very easy steps, but regularattention is required for fulfilling the Supreme Directions ofthe Lord. Therefore, these small steps will help us to scalegreat heights in spiritual life. A whole hearted and open heartedpromise before the Lord will help us to implement His everinvaluable Directions into practical life. We all should practiseunconditional pure feelings and good wishes for one and all.We must remember that whatever karma we do is all beingwatched by others and they will also follow us. Hence, wemust be careful while doing anything. The slogan ‘now ornever’ should be remembered by us for doing good karma.Doing a good karma at the right time will yield better resultand will prevent untoward incidents. We are trustees and theLord is the owner. This will avoid developing ownership andenjoyment-seeking attitude in our life. Whatever happens isfor good and the scenes and sceneries opening up are part ofthe huge world drama. Let us give utmost importance to theguidelines given to us by the Lord with all seriousness andhighest regard.

Cheerful and smiling feature enhance both your inner and outer beauty.

I am an advocate byprofession. I hadexperienced an angina pain

in the chest in the later part ofthe year, 1997. I, then,immediately approached thelocal cardiologist, who, afterexamining me, had prescribedsome tablets like substrate, etc.for me to take for a few months.There was not much fruitfulresponse; so, the doctor, aftertaking certain tests, advised meto undergo Angiography tests.Accordingly, I went for suchtests at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune,where blockages to the extentof 95%, 85%, and 80% in threemain arteries were detected inthe month of April, 1998.Therefore, the doctor asked meto undergo bypass surgery(CABG) within two months orso, which I was not willing to do.

However, at that time, I cameto know that the Global Hospital& Research Centre (GHRC),Mt. Abu, has started aProgramme for ReversingCoronary Heart Diseasethrough Lifestyle InterventionProgramme. At that moment, Imade up my mind to adopt that

A MIRACLE FORCAD PATIENTS

Healthy & Happy LifestyleIntervention Programme basedon revolutionary concept ofMind-Body-Soul and disinclinedto undergo surgery. I met Dr.Satish Gupta and showed him allmy test reports. On seeing thesereports, he was kind enough toallow me to join the Programme.I first attended the interventionCamp in July, 1998. A team ofwell-qualified membersconducted the camp very well.After attending the camp forseven days only, I began to feelsome relief in my chest pain.

The Lifestyle InterventionProgramme consists of thefollowing:i) Aerobic Exercise, which

includes daily morning walkfor about 45 min. to 1 Hr. or,say, two to four k.m. walkafter sunrise and eveningstroll before sunset.

ii)Vegetarian Diet, whichincludes high fibrous food,green leafy vegetables, freshseasonal fruits, sprouts, wholegrains, oats, grams, etc.

iii) Rajayoga meditation course,which is the study about thetrue self, the Supreme Being

and connection with Him.After this programme, I went

through repeated Angiographytest in the month of August,2010. On going through both thereports, wonderful result wasfound: a blockage of 95% wasremoved to a great extent andother two blockages came downto 50%. By adopting thisHealthy Happy LifestyleIntervention Programme, I haveattained a new life and I canperform day-to-day activities togreat satisfaction of which I hadlost hope when I hadexperienced angina pain. Thisachievement could be achievedonly due to the sincere effortsmade by Global Hospital, itsentire devoted team, and thedevoted brothers and sisters ofthe Brahma KumarisOrganization. My special thanksgo to Dr. Satish Gupta, who hasbrought back my smile.

After the first camp I alsoattended a few subsequentcamps and could gather the factthat “The better the programmeadherence, the more the CADregression”. In my opinion,Rajayoga meditation plays amajor role in preventing anderadicating the heart disease.Rajayoga fills our hearts andminds with pure energy of truelove, true peace and truehappiness.

According to theexposition based onthe direct revelations

of God - the sermonizer of TheGita, the world is anamphitheatre of action. The souloriginally dwells in the soulworld, also called Paramdhamor Brahmaloka, which is farbeyond this corporeal world ofours. It, then, comes on thisworld drama-stage to act orplay out its role.

Now, just as in an ordinary,man-made drama, an actorwearing a dress, suitable to itsrole, acts on the drama-stage,so does the soul. Body is the‘costume’ of the soul and thisworld is the stage where the soulplays its role.

Further, just as the memoryof the dramatic role is dormantin the actor in the form of‘impressions’ but manifests inthe form of thoughts as he goeson the stage or at the time hisindividual act comes, the samehappens with the soul at the timeit descends from the soul world.What an actor does is that hebrings into action its own roleaccording to its own potential,ability and personality, so does

the soul.The whole pre-ordained

dramatic role of each individualsoul exists in latent form or atunconscious level within it whilethe soul is in the soul-world, andwhen it descends onto this worlddrama-stage and adopts thehuman body, its every latentimpression manifests itself oremerges to the conscious levelin the form of volition, desire orthoughts.

Therefore, volition or thoughtis the manifestation of the latentimpression of the dramatic role.And the impressions are thelatent state of the volition orknowledge. Each single act iscognate with the other. Thevolitions and impressions aretogether called the mind.

Mind is the other name of thedramatic role dormant in the soul.It is an extension of the deepernon-local reality and profoundlyinfluences our actions.Originally, it is pure,unconditioned and resilient.However, the mind graduallyloses its resilience to acquiredknowledge and conditioning andbecomes finite and localized.Consequently, we get anchored

The scientists today saythat mind power is 80%sub-conscious mind

power and 20% conscious mindpower; so, the greater power isthe power of our sub-consciousmind. Once, we understand thisand learn to use the powerwithin us, we can createwonderful changes in our life.We can achieve many goals.The sub-conscious mind createsautomatic behavioural patterns,reactions, fears and phobias,unaccountable likes and dislikes,dreams and thoughts that popinto our heads out of nowhere.Also, the skills we are born with,our natural talents and abilities,our values and qualities are thepotentials of our sub-consciousmind.

The knowledge of theinteraction of the conscious andsubconscious mind can enableone to transform one’s wholelife. The conscious mind is likethe navigator or captain at thebridge of a ship. The navigatordirects the ship and signalsorders to the men in the engineroom, who, in turn, control all theboilers, instruments, gauges, etc.

The men in the engine room donot know where they are going;they just follow the orders. Theywould go on the rocks if the manon the bridge issues faulty orwrong instructions based on hisfindings with the compass,sextant, or other instruments.Similarly, the conscious mind isthe captain and master of ourship, which represents our body,environment, and all our affairs.Our sub-conscious mind takesthe orders we give it based onwhat our conscious mindbelieves and accepts as true. Ifone gives the right orders(thoughts and images) to theconscious mind, which governsand controls all the experiences,then life will be a beautifuljourney.

To make the most of thispower, try the spiritual healingas follows:

First Step: Charge yourMind

Practise Rajayoga meditationin the early morning hoursbetween 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. Thisperiod is known as Amritvela orBrahm Muhurta. This is anauspicious time to charge your

SPIRITUAL HEALINGEXPERIMENT

mind as the sub-conscious mindis active. There is also a widelyheld belief that the early morninghours are the time when the godsor angels are encircling theworld. They are ready andwaiting to bestow blessings, butonly on those, who are awake.

As soon as you get up fromthe sleep in the morning, say,“Good Morning to God, theSupreme Father, the SupremeSoul”. Create the thoughts ofself-respect like “I am themaster Almighty, I am the childof Supreme Being.” The mindis fresh at that time and theabsorption capability of the sub-conscious mind is greater thanwhat it is during the day.

Try to become soul-conscious.See yourself as a tiny point ofdivine light shining in the centreof the forehead between the twoeye brows just like a star. YourSpiritual Father, the SupremeSoul, is also like you, a shininglight of divine energy. He resides

in the Soul World, which is abovethe sky, the sun, the moon andthe stars. The moment you getconnected with Him, you willexperience His powers and yoursoul will get charged. To getcharged, establish yourself insoul-conscious state with themeaning of the followingstatements:

“I am a soul, a golden star likeenergy, situated at the centre ofthe forehead, separate from thisbody of matter, my vehicle…Iam a being of peace…a lovefulbeing…a being of light… a beingof power…

Without the physical body Ican fly with the power of purethought…I, the subtle being oflight,…a star, so bright, radiatinglight; I can move beyond sound,beyond the physical world,beyond the sun, moon and stars,to my soft golden red light home– ‘paramdham’,‘shantidham’… I float in thissweet silence home…

I become aware of anotherbeing, a living Golden Star likeenergy over there… golden raysof light radiate from thisSupreme Star in all directions…As I come closer to Him, I feelas if I am diving deep into anunlimited Ocean…Waves ofgolden light touch me, the soul,very softly…

I merge into the SupremeBeing…this is the Ocean of

Bliss…this is the Ocean ofPeace…an unlimited Ocean, Iam receiving the rays fromHim…and I feel complete…Iam merged in the experience ofthe Highest Soul…diving into thedepth of bliss…

The treasures are eternal…the treasure of peace, treasureof love, of light, of bliss...I bathe,cleanse, purify until I feel freeand light…refreshed by theOcean… Now, I float gently…downwards softly…slowly…Ienter the physical world…andtake my seat in the physicalbody…”

Second Step: Focus onQualities

At the start of the day and atregular intervals in the day, givepositive thoughts to the mind.These thoughts are of powersuch as – I am a star of success;I can overcome obstacles thattry to obstruct my path, I am abeing of peace and stability; Iremain detached from theexternal situations as well asfrom the internal pressures; I aman overflowing source of goodwishes; I will be forgetful ofothers’ mistakes; I shall absorbothers’ virtues and fill otherswith my virtues; I will remainlight and give others the sameexperience; I shall spread thewings of enthusiasm and fly high;I shall gift a smile and a greetingto everyone.

These types of affirmationspositively influence our feelings,attitudes, expressions, words andactions. As we concentrate onour innate values such as peace,love, joy, purity, bliss, power andtruth, and repeatedly bring theminto my conscious mindeveryday, they graduallyinfluence our sub-consciousmind also. This then fills us withspiritual power.

Third Step: Charge thethings you consume during

the whole dayGenerally, during the whole

day we consume some food orliquids or medicine. To chargethe medicine or liquids/food, takethem in your hand and give it thepowerful vibrations of positivethoughts, “The rays of AlmightyGod Father are purifyingeverything that I take.” Repeatthe thoughts 3-5 times. Make ita habit to charge the thingsevery time before consuming.The things charged with thesethoughts have tremendouspower to heal your sickness,disease and ailment and makeyou healthy.

You will agree that any healingsystem will have desired effect onthe patient only if the patient hastotal faith in it. The readers arerequested to carry out this healingwith 100% faith and patience.Then, they will definitely get thepositive result.

Make yourself so good and great that God will ask, “What do you want.”

The mind is the greatesttool or instrument thatwe have; but we are

unfortunate that most of us arenot aware of the great potentialof our minds. Rajayogameditation is a way to use yourmind in the right direction.

It means ‘to think right’. Itis about re-focusing ourthinking, and putting the mindback into the right gear tocreate a positive and powerfulflow of thoughts and feelings.It gives answers to thefollowing questions: Who am I?Who do I belong to? and Whatdo I have to do now? Thedeeper understanding of thereal identity of human being asa soul, the virtues of the humansoul and a broader perspectiveof the eternal and imperishableaspect of spirit, helps us toenhance the meditation further.

Rajayoga meditation is awondrous adventure, animportant step in developingour spiritual awareness. Asspirit is here and now,everything in the universe isopen to us, there is nolimitation, to what we can

learn; there are only thelimitations, which we impose

upon ourselves. This is whycontemplation and meditationare so important to us; we canunlock hidden, spiritualpotentials within our own being.To practise being soulconscious whilst in Godlyremembrance helps one togradually realise a natural andeasy state of being. It helps tostay calm and relaxed, and bein tune with our authentic selfand to feel more fulfilled as aresult.

Rajayoga meditation is alsoa way to stay connected with

One ofthe things we can do is to seethe self as one, who doeseverything only for the One.Tell the self that He is gettingHis work done through you. You are His instrument. Whenwe fill ourselves with love,peace and purity, we can shareand send God’s light and loveto others as well.

We are walking radiators ofenergy. When the mind isclean and pure, positivepackets of the energy ofpeace, love, good wishes,happiness and truth gettransmitted. People, whoexperience this positive energyfrom us, are reminded of theirown positive qualities, getinspired, get healed and gettransformed. ThroughRajayoga, we can also donatepeace to other souls, who areexperiencing pain, sorrow ordisquiet in their minds.

With vibration of benevolent thoughts, you can make welfare of others.

To be soul-conscious is tobe in the awareness that“I am not a body, I am a

soul”. The soul is a conscientpoint of divine light. We visualizethe soul is sparkling in the centreof the forehead, the place wherea dot like tilak (or bindi) is alsoapplied. Hence, symbolically,becoming soul-conscious meansperceiving the point-of-light soulin the forehead, and this can beequated to applying a tilak onthe forehead.

Many people have a practiceof applying a tilak on theforehead; even as part ofreligious traditions, people ofdifferent religions are using tilakof different colours. But, inBrahma Kumaris Organization,ours is a spiritual tilak of soul-consciousness, i.e., theawareness of being a soul. Andit is so wonderful that thisawareness makes it sparkles thewhole face and body as well.Applying the Tilak of Soul-

powder. But, to apply thespiritual tilak, we don’t needanything; we just create athought such as ‘I am a pureenergy, a powerful soul’ andsuch other following thoughts:

I am a very pure, divinepeaceful, loving, happy andblissful soul.I see through the eyes andlisten through the ears; I amsituated in the centre of theforehead. I am the master ofthis body, I am the driver, mybody is the car; I am thediamond, my body is the box;I am the actor, my body isthe costume.

When we practise soul-consciousness, we visualize theself as a beautiful shining star,an infinitesimal point of invisibleluminous non–physical energy.

When we put on the physicalbindi, we should check at thesame time whether our tilak ofsoul-consciousness is properlyset or not. If not, we should wearit immediately, i.e., we shouldstabilize the self in soul-consciousness. If we apply thistilak in the early morning at

amritvela, it ensures that thistilak remains with us almostthroughout the day, since in earlymorning our mind has high-absorption capacity.

Sometimes, the physical binditends to drop off; hence, the glueneeds to be powerful. Also weneed to check the bindifrequently to ensure that it isproperly set. Similarly, to ensurethat this spiritual tilak is intact,we need to keep checking ourthoughts regularly (at least forone minute in every hour) toensure that they’re not going ina waste direction and pulling ustowards body-consciousness.

On the occasion of a festivalor special programme, peopletend to wear more expensiveand attractive bindis. Hence, weneed to have a powerful stageof soul-consciousness and soul-conscious drishti on suchfestive days since we’ll comeinto contact with many souls, sothat we may serve them throughour subtle vibrations of peace,purity, love, bliss and happiness.

Benefits of Applying thisTilak

The physical tilak is appliedto enhance beauty. Similarly, thisspiritual tilak enhances our innerspiritual beauty and therebymakes our face sparkle withpurity, divinity, peace, bliss,happiness and contentment.

A tilak is applied even aftervictory. Hence, this tilak of soul-

consciousness keeps us victorious, i.e., stableand calm in every scene of the drama of life.

On the occasion of a festival, a tilak isapplied on everyone’s forehead, includingmales. Hence, when we’re soul-conscious, ourlife becomes a festival or a festive occasioneveryday, thereby giving us the feeling of acelebration at every moment.

When we apply this tilak, we automaticallysee the tilak on others’ foreheads, i.e., whenwe’re soul-conscious, we see others as soulstoo. This helps us to do the following:

Accept others (since we remember theyare souls on a long journey playing theirindividual parts) as they are.

See their virtues and specialities. Radiate positive vibrations to them.Go beyond physical differences in castes,colours, creeds, faiths, religions, languages,genders, nationalities and connect withthem as members of one world divinefamily.

Before going inside the temple, first, weremove shoes outside; then tilak is appliedand then we go towards the idol. Thissymbolizes that we need to remove theinfluence of body-consciousness (removingshoes), by being in the awareness of soul-consciousness (applying tilak), and then in thisconsciousness we remember God as per Hisaccurate introduction, i.e., as the IncorporealSupreme Soul. This ensures that we practicallyexperience His unconditional love, powers andqualities.

This spiritual tilak or bindi has no sideeffects like stickiness, itchiness, etc., whichthe physical bindi has. So, keep applying orwearing the tilak of soul-consciousnessalways!

Prajapita Brahma was amagnificent andpioneering personality of

great human and divine qualitiesand attributes with a keen,transformative socio-spiritualmission and vision. That is whyhe has been singled out to be‘the chosen one’ by theIncorporeal God Father Shiva tobe His human medium - body-chariot - for His noble task ofworld transformation andushering in the new Golden-Aged Paradise upon the planetearth. This article highlights anddepicts some of his otherdistinctive qualities as follows:Real Arjun, the Unknown

WarriorIn the Indian epic “The

Mahabharat”, Arjun, themiddle Pandav, was placed inthe battle field during the greatbattle between the Kauravasand Pandavs, and ShreeKrishna was seen driving hischariot and delivering theknowledge of “The Gita”,thereby guiding and directinghim and also positioning the

chariot in strategic place with aview to winning the battle. But,this epical battle is the allegoricaland symbolic description of thebattle between good and evil thatis really happening now in theminds of men and women in thebattleground of this life, calledthe field of action(‘Karmakshetra’). In reality,Prajapita Brahma played therole of real Arjun in whose body-chariot the Incorporeal GodShiva descends and imparts thereal spiritual knowledge of theEternal World Drama (EWD) tohim and through him to othersouls, his adopted children,known as Brahma Kumars andBrahma Kumaris, in order to winover their evil impressions(sanskaras). God Father Shivaas the Supreme Teacherteaches the secrets of thephilosophy of Karma – action(karma), akarma (neutralaction), and evil action(vikarma) - so that they candefeat Maya, Ravan or Satan,the symbol of vices and therebybecome gods and goddesses

after the end of this Kalpa andat the beginning of anotherKalpa in the forthcomingGolden Age. Those who engagethemselves in this internal warbetween good and evilimpressions or forces in theirminds and ultimately have theconquest of good over evil areknown as the “unknownwarriors” or “incognito spiritualarmy” or “salvation army”(Pandav Sena) of God, calledPandav Pati, The term‘Pandav’ refers to the religious-minded God-loving righteouspeople in spiritual parlance forsalvaging the life of souls fromthe clutches of vices like sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment,ego, jealousy, indolence, etc. So,the place ‘Kurukshetra’ in thestate of Haryana, India wherethe great Mahabharat War wasdescribed to have taken place,is not the real battleground intrue sense of the term, becausethe human mind is the realinternal battleground where theinner battle between good andevil thoughts take place; and thewhole world is calledKurukshetra (Karmakshetra) –the field of actions – as theliteral meaning of the termsuggests, and all human souls arealso called Arjuns includingBrahma, who earn the fruits oftheir actions because the literalmeaning of the term ‘Arjun’ is‘one who earns the fruit of his/

her own actions’.Prajapita Brahma - God’s

‘the Chosen One’It is said that great men do

not do different or extraordinarythings but do everythingdifferently or in an extraordinaryway while living in earthly plane.Prajapita Brahma, the foundingfather of Brahma Kumaris, livedan unparalleled life in humanhistory that became the

benchmarkfor achievingperfectionand divinityin humanlife. Hisexemplarydeeds and

spiritual endeavours have stoodlike milestones for others forreaching the ultimate goals ofhuman odyssey – self-realization(Atmanubhuti), liberation(Mukti) and liberation in life(Jeevan Mukti).

Prajapita Brahma was really‘the chosen one’ of the Supremeand, thus, his role was uniquebecause with the process ofdivine incarnation of theIncorporeal Supreme Soul Shivain his corporeal body he becamea direct medium for revelationof God’s wisdom and formanifestation of His personalityin the triple task of creation,operation and destruction of theCreation (Shishti). As deeper

mystery of truths about God andthe eternal laws of His Creationwere revealed by God ShivaHimself through Brahma, it setinto motion a great, complete andunprecedented metamorphosisof consciousness and characterof Brahma and other BrahmaKumars and Kumaris as the darkveils of ignorance got uncoveredwith the spiritual knowledge andrealization of the simple truth thatwe are souls, but not bodies.

Unflinching Faith in Godand Spiritual Study

His rock-solid and unflinchingfaith in God was the cornerstoneof his complete surrender to Godand His task, his fasttransformation in spiritual path

and his exemplary and uniquespiritual leadership because ittook no time to take a quantumleap from a highly respected andestablished diamond merchant tobecome a spiritual pioneer inspite of many oppositions andadversities. His detractorslabelled him as a fake god manenticing women and youngsterswith a strange and abstruseknowledge that threatened to pull

apart the traditional, normal wayof life blindly or ignorantlyconsidered sacred by people.Malicious slanders, organizedprotests, court cases, damage tohis property, and even a plot tokill him could not deter him fromhis destined path but tookeverything in his stride, and heremained calm, fearless andeven sympathetic to hisopponents by facing them withcourage and equanimity. Withthe belief that his life wasentrusted to God with hiscomplete surrender and histhoughts, actions and decisionswere modeled as per theSupreme Directions(Shreemat), he never nourishedany doubt, hesitation or dilemmain any trying situation.

The esoteric spiritual studyinvolving four subjects –knowledge (Gyan), meditation(Rajayoga), inculcation ofvirtues (Daharana) and service(Seva) - was not for him justknowing and expounding thedeep aspects of truth, valuesand spirituality but like a keenstudent to also reflect deeply oneach and every points ofknowledge and yoga, and thenpractise and imbibe them beforepreaching them; and, thereafter,as an excellent teacher he alsopassed on to the ignorant othersthe profound spiritual wisdom ofGod in simple, ingenious,

practical and down-to-earthmanner. With unbridledenthusiasm and keen spiritualintoxication, he dedicated himselfto the service of all for theirspiritual uplift tirelessly. As‘Adam’ or ‘Adi Dev’ (FirstMan), he was ahead of his timesand came with innovative ideasto impart finer and deeper pointsof knowledge to differentsections of the humanity.Embodiment of Values and

VirtuesPrajapita Brahma was the

unique embodiment of valuesand virtues like truth, peace, love,

purity, compassion, forgiveness,help, co-operation, contem-plation, optimism, endurance,patience, diligence, tolerance,abstinence, self-control,economy, charity, nobility,dignity, integrity, spirituality, etc.

He kept the balance betweenlove and law for setting highstandards of disciplined life andconduct by exemplifying it.Being highly self-introspective,he was constantly focused onimbibing the highest-level purity

in thoughts, words and actionsfor attaining perfection in humanlife by translating each point ofknowledge into action. He waspunctual, active, alert andaccurate in everything what hedid.

The values of compassion andgenerosity shone in hisinteractions with all withoutdiscrimination as he believedonly in giving, because he gavehis wealth, body, mind, time,thoughts and heart for theservice and welfare of thehumanity and was also alwaysdeeply concerned with liberatinghuman beings from sorrow andsuffering, and for this purposehe was meditating for hours totransmit vibrations of peace toall souls of the humanity. Manysouls felt energized andtransformed in his presence, andthe benevolent power of hisgoodwill is still nurturing manyeven today from the angelicregion of the upper Subtle World.

Detachment and trusteeshipwere the hallmarks of hisspiritual life, because he wasneither attracted by success,adulation, support and fame nordetracted by failure, insult,hostility or any sort of otheradversities and challenges. Eventhe weight of his responsibilities,the stature of his elevated roleand the greatness of his God-assigned actions did not touch

him at all. He always acted withthe spirit of detachment andawareness of a trustee orinstrument of God and, thus,remained above the body-conscious pull of ‘I’, ‘me’ and‘mine’.

Henudged more people into self-realization and purification witha smile, a healthy joke or a kindlook than were forced in throughfear or long-faced piety. Heexpressed himself fearlesslyeven on topics which anotherman would consider sensitive.He was un-phased by any eventor happening so far his dailydiscourse and meditation classwere concerned.”

It is as a result of all thesequalities, he shone like a multi-faceted or prismatic personalitystanding out or singled outamong many like the Kingamong the subjects or the moonamong the lesser stars. Thefollowing words of poet JohnMilton are quite appropriate todescribe the glowing personalityof Brahma, the Elder One(‘Agraja’): “He who reignswithin himself and rules hispassions, desires and fears ismore than a king.”

The Karmateet StageAlong with the service of the

inquisitive other souls, BrahmaBaba left no stone unturned toattain his personal Karmateet(beyond the effects of bondagesof actions) stage, the foremostaim of his spiritual effort. He

was the first soul to come out withflying colours in this attempt evenwhile engaging him fully inactivities of the institution. Heraised himself to such a high andsublime stage by the power ofRajayoga that he was transportedto the Subtle World and SoulWorld at his own sweet will, andthereby he remained unaffectedand uninfluenced by the good orbad effects of actions andcircumstances in the physical orelemental world of gross matter.

During the last phase of his lifehe could easily and constantlymaintain this stage, and manybrothers and sisters have

recounted their personalexperience that they have feltoften the consciousness ofBrahma Baba becominginstantly absent while listening tothe service news related by themto him. As he reached theperfection of the Karmateetstage, many have witnessed hisKarmateet stage of ‘not listening

while listening, not seeing whileseeing’ even while he radiatedthe vibrations of unmitigatedlove, sympathy, compassion andspiritual power from his glowingand cheerful features. He wasthe embodiment of the ‘state ofthe more the loving, the morethe detached’ (‘Jitna NyaraUtna Pyara’). Even at thefinal moment of departure fromthis world before the presenceof the loving divine children, hefelt no iota of bond orattachment towards any ofthem and flew away from thecage of the mortal body like afree bird without showing anyslightest pang of separation. Heso loosened the body, the dressof the soul, from the latter thathe left the former as easily asa single thread of hair comesout of a lump of butter. Withthe attainment of this stage, hebecame the number one soul tofinally ascend the Subtle World,and from there he has been stilldoing the subtle service,inspiring and invoking the divinechildren to become like him byattaining this stage as quicklyas possible so that they canaccompany him to the SoulWorld, Shantidham, and againdescend with him upon theearth to repeatedly replay thedeity roles as before 5,000years.

During my school days,the question ofdinosaurs always

posed some difficulties to me.School books describe the sagaof dinosaurs and show that theysuffered a mass extinction 65million years ago, following anasteroid colliding with earth orclimate change. I questioned:‘Why would that event wipe outonly the dinosaurs and not theother species – especially giant(Indonesian) komododragons, lizards and crocodilesthat look almost similar to them?’(https://www.livescience.com/9726-origin-komodo-dragon-revealed.html)

If what evolutionists teachabout dinosaurs is really true,why doesn’t everyone agreewith it? The opponents say thatit is all conspiracy to prove theEvolution Theory because of thefollowing factors:(i)The first dinosaur that was

fabricated and namedIguanodon in 1825 in England,was not from severalhundred individual bones butfrom just a tooth brought toDr. Gideon Mantell, English

– B.K. Rose Mary

obstetrician, geologistand palaeontologist.

(ii)The dinosaur-fossils are oftenincomplete bone sets, whichthen palaeontologists haveconstructed a hypothesisabout the appearance of thewhole skeleton; thus, thedinosaur-bones on display atmuseums are frequently justplaster casts.

(iii) Throughout the history, manyvarieties of people have dugthe earth for various purposesand none of them found anydinosaur fossils, which wereas if waiting for theevolutionists.

(iv)The discovery of its softtissue (including stretchyligaments with identifiableproteins, flexible transparent branching blood vessels, withthe easily identifiable remainsof red blood cells, evenshowing the nuclei, typical ofreptiles, inside these vessels)by Palaeonto-logist MarySchweitzer, which madeworldwide headlines in 2005,proves that the dinosaur-fossils cannot be millionsyears old.

(v)Even the supportersthemselves have difficulties inunderstanding the details;hence, they made manymistakes in the movies theymade about dinosaurs, whichmade Palaeontologists mad.(http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/06/15/jurassic-w o r l d - d i n o s a u r s -inaccurate-paleontologists-outrage_n_7583384.html)Now, the question arises:

Which group is right? Both thegroups, opponents (Palaento-logists) and supporters(Evolutionists), may not be right,and truth could be in betweenbecause of the followingreasons:

The evolutionists believe thathistory is linear. And if history islinear, then the event that led tothe mass extinction ofdinosaurs could have led to theextinction of other species too.Yet other species survivedwhich means history is notlinear.

If history is not linear, it mustbe cyclical like everything elsesuch as day and night, seasons,water cycle, yugas, etc. Ourexperience shows that quality oflife and environment is gettingworse and worse as time passeswhich means history had aperfect start. Thus history iscyclical with first half beingperfect (characterized by smallhuman population and pure

The requirement of the firstperfect half cannot be knownnow, and also the age of a fossilthat belongs to the perfect firsthalf cannot correctly beascertained in the imperfectsecond half because ofcontrasting ecosystems. Just asthe huge whales coexist withsmall fishes in the ocean, thehuge other beings can alsocoexist with human beings in thefirst perfect half of the historyin harmony, taking care ofspecial needs of that period.

When such aperfect system suffers a fall,everything turns upside downwith catastrophic changes,taking place in every sphere.Getting killed by accidents(small and big such as naturalcalamities), killing on purpose(some of the humans and someof the animals began to eat theflesh of other species), some ofthe constructive microorganisms turning intodestructive agents causingvarious diseases were some ofthose catastrophic changes.

When heaven-like situationschanged into hell-like situations,it was like a change from order

to disorder, and the world beganto be called a demoniac world(Asuri Dunia) (a place wherelaw and logic no longer rule thelives of people, which highlightsthe impure attitude of theinhabitants). When healthythinking, which resulted inhealthy body and healthyenvironment, changed intoharmful thinking, it would havecorresponding results in bodiesand environment. It meanschange happened everywhere -in attitude, in thinking and evenwithin DNA of some beings,which means disorder began tomanifest in various forms -sometimes gigantism anddwarfism even among samespecies, big species becomingsmall and vice versa.

The implication of change inDNA has already been shownby Genetic Engineering (processof changing DNA in order tobring about certain charac-teristics in a living thing). Someof the wonders it has producedinclude things such as bigger,longer-lasting vegetables, treesthat could absorb dirty water andmake it clean again before thewater is released into the air,trees that grow superfast so thatthey can create stronger, higherquality wood, geneticallymodified plants (like grapple thatis an apple that tastes exactlylike a grape), salmon that grows

faster, genetically modifiedanimals, etc.

Changes happen whensituation calls for such changes.For example, when suchchanges as extinction of speciesinvolved in a food-chain happens,“biodiversity also lends geneticvariability to a population,helping it adapt to fluctuatingenvironmental conditions.”(h t tp s : / / s c i enc ing . com/happens-something-food-c h a i n - g o e s - e x t i n c t -18214.html)

In other words, big speciessuch as dinosaurs (if they reallyexisted) served some purpose inthe first half of each cycle ofhistory. That special purpose isover when history entered theimperfect second half anddinosaurs were no longerneeded, which means dinosaurscould go into extinction orbecome smaller like birds orlizards. Interestingly, dinosaursmean just big lizard in ancientlanguages such as Latin, Greek(deinos = terrible + sauros =lizard), etc.

An analytical mind can reachalmost the same conclusionabout history and see history iscyclical if he/she looks forimplied truth behind thefollowing sure truths, which areas follows:(i) Everything is transformation

of energy; energy is eternal;The act of toleration is not a weakness but a strength of the spirit.

and nothing happens withoutsomething preceding to it,which means history has aninfinite past;

(ii) There is order in the naturein the sense that earth isbeing fine-tuned for the life,which proves that Godexists;

(iii) There is the natural law ofincreasing disorder, calledentropy. Entropy is ameasure of the disorder,which can be likened to whathappens to a building thattends to deteriorate as thetime passes by and thatdoesn’t stay neat or new onits own - it means buildingneeds to be re-constructed inthe end.The implied truth in all these

is that disorder can arise fromorder (not vice versa); andthings that are new become oldas the time passes (not viceversa). The system of things onearth were new then andbecame old now – it does notremain eternally new oreternally old/decadent. Thatmeans at some regular interval,the original state is restored,which means that history is anever-ending cycle of elevationand eventual decline.

What became old can berenewed only by theintervention of the SupremeBeing. Interestingly, this is the

unmistakable truth conveyed inthe famous and ancient symbolof Incorporeal God Shiva – theShiva Linga. In the term linga,‘la’ indicates dissolution (laya)of old system of things while‘ga’ stands for arrival(agamana) of new system ofthings. In other words, this greatsymbol conveys two phases –ascending and descending – ofeach Kalpa and also highlightsthe two roles God Shiva playsbetween each Kalpa: the rolesof Illuminator and Elevator ofmankind.

Just like a next generation-tree is a sure guaranteebecause of the seed left behind;similarly, certainty of arrival ofnext Kalpa is absolutely surebecause the seed ofthe Kalpa tree is the SupremeSoul: “I am the Seed of thewhole Kalpa tree” (Murli13.10.2017), which means thatthe Golden Age would arrivewith the same ease as thepresent tree came from a seedof a past tree, and if the presenttree is real, it means that futuretree will also be real.

The above understanding,which I got from my studies,made it easy for me to accept

the divine teaching contents ofseven-day Rajayoga Course ofthe Brahma KumarisOrganization. I learned from thiscourse that history is cyclic,each cycle is called a Kalpa andits duration is 5000 years, andduring the Confluence period ofeach Kalpa, humanity is giventhe opportunity to learn theforgotten truths directly fromGod Shiva, our Heavenly Father.He teaches, with absoluteclarity, the vital subjects such aswho we are, who God is, aboutthe original history andgeography of the world, how thishell-like situation on the earthwould be recreated into heaven,etc.

Those, who are frustratedover the conflicting worldlyteachings, will be delighted toaccept the esoteric and universaltruths from His DivineTeachings and start acquiringthese teachings, practisingRajayoga Meditation andinculcating the divine qualities,which become the basis forliving in the forthcoming GoldenAged World – Heaven orParadise or Shivalaya, which isnow being established by GodFather Shiva.

THE MEANING OF LIFEIS TO BE IN GOD’S

GOOD BOOK

The Book of TruthMost people abuse their life.

The meaning of their existenceis so shallow that it revolves justaround pleasing their five senses,eating meat, drinking alcohol,etc., and, in so doing, they chainthemselves to many bad habitsin this process of trying to behappy without knowing andunderstanding the spiritual lawand order mentioned in the Bookof Truth.

The Book of Truth has beenin existence since eternity as thesoul is eternal and so are itsactions. This book has a longand detailed chapter on theintricacies of spiritual law andorder and what happens to thesoul when those laws are brokenand ignored. The karmic lawsare written in stone that cannever be changed.

These laws are ever presentand secretly rule everyone andgive justice, punishment and

rewards as and when it decidesand is fitting. This law comesinto being the moment a personchooses to pick up the gun andfire bullets that hurt themselvesand others. People want to liveand rule their life having the gunof bad habits at their sidewithout understanding that soontheir karma takes control,thereby inflicting pain ordiscomfort in accordance withits law and sentence.

Karma is the secretPoliceman in life that watcheseveryone and, if and whennecessary, punishes anyone,who breaks the law. Karma isthe equivalent of modern-dayCCTV technology but withspiritual capacity. ThisPoliceman has been givenaccess to unlimited automaticweapons and bullets.

But, there is a shield called theShield of Truth, Love and GoodActions. This shield gives youarmoured clothing, if you’re richenough (good enough) and wiseenough to be able to buy it. Youcan pick up your shield or buythese clothes at any time fromGod’s store. There is no needfor you to ever be shot or injuredanymore when you wear theseclothes made of truth.

Have you such love andwisdom in your life that youtravel each day on theescalator, which requiresattention but not so mucheffort? Many people need tomake effort in life as they lackreal love and wisdom, so theyhave to walk up the stairs thatrequire great effort but littleattention.

Are you in your life of avictim or a slave to bad habits,carrying their ball and chainwith you everywhere you go?Are you unaware that you areon the run and have a limp? Orhave you seated yourself as amaster and king on the ‘throneof control’ enjoying thehappiness of life?

There are many thieves inlife following you in the formof bad habits that are everready to steal whatevertreasures you have. Bad habitshave many arms and until theystrike they remain invisible.Once, a bad habit has attackedyou, it becomes the baddiedressed in black and the villain,who can shoot you in the head,back or heart. If you are notconstantly alert and on guard,you will be robbed and beforeyou know it, you will turn to

be a beggar on the floor and/or a typical person of today,who is more a slave and victimthan a king or master.

However, ‘forever ’ issecretly being created today.Your ‘forever’ is at yourfingertips right now. If you cancrack open the Safe of Timeand grasp and master itssecrets, you can live as a kingor queen in the near future.

Humanity plays at the footof their false mountain that willinstantly crumble into themountain of sorrow when theiractions shake, loose andrelease the avalanche of storedup bad karma.

It is one thing to talk to yourcat, and quite another to dig upand talk to your tree’s karmicroots and expect an answer.

The depth and intricacies ofkarma are vast and spread farand deep and whose seeds youmight have sowed many yearsand lives ago. To ask and tryto work out now why your lifeis with such bitter fruits, it isfor you to dig up the rootsaround your karma tree andask: Why are they producingsuch ugly and bitter fruits thatyou have to eat, taste anddigest every day?

One needs wisdom,tolerance and patience in orderto refrain from asking the treesuch question as: Why have its

once sweet fruits now becomesour with pain and sorrow?

The Meaning of LifeThe meaning of life is to be

in God’s Good Book carried inHis hand. If you want to knowthe meaning of life and theanswers to all your questions,you need to get smart by firstreading God’s one and onlygood book: The Book of Truth.In this book, He has ordained:‘Look within your soul andlook to God to change yourself,your path, your lifestyle andyour bad habits’.

The history books of mostof the people, which covertheir life until today, havechapters of great sadness andcontain many loose pagesfrom their never endingindulgence in bad habits thatweaken their spine.

A person’s book on his/herlife should be full, tightly boundwith happiness found on eachpage and in every paragraphand line. Yet, due to the weightand corrosive effect of badhabits, pages of many people’sbooks detailing what couldhave been a happy life, havefallen out and ended up on thefloor.

We, the BrahmaKumars andBrahma Kumaris,

everyday listen to the Godlyversions in the form of Murlisand absorb many points. Eachword of Murli is a pearl andeach sentence is a garland madeof pearl-beads. Some are reallymagical and miraculous. Someare beyond ordinary thought andneed scientific reasoning. Timeis one such point, i.e., all it takesis just a second to attainliberation or fruition;transformation from Brahma toVishnu; to reach Karmateet(perfect and complete) stage;time to leave one body and toenter the foetus in a mother’swomb; to reach Paramdham(Incorporeal World) inmeditation, etc. single drop ofGodly knowledge is sufficient toexplain any point. Now let usunderstand what time is and whyShiv Baba limits the time only toa fraction of second for majorattainments.

Time is to measure ourexperience of the spacebetween events and it passesonly because we experiencechange in a series of events. So

time is our experience of thespeed of events and hence timemay also be defined as ameasure in which events can beordered from the past throughthe present into the future. Thisexplains why time seems to bemoving faster today, becauseboth the speed and the numberof events are increasing. Itseems even faster if weparticipate in those events. Timeis what keeps everything fromhappening at once. Twocontrasting viewpoints on timedivide many prominentphilosopher-cum-scientists. Oneview is that time is a part of thefundamental structure of theuniverse – a dimensionindependent of events, in whichevents occur in sequence knownas Newtonian time. Theopposing view is that time doesnot refer to any kind of containerthat events and objects movethrough, nor to any entity thatflows, but that is instead a partof a fundamental intellectualstructure within which humanssequence and compare events.

Time has no separateexistence; it is intimatelyassociated with space. Space-

time is a continuum becausethere are no missing points inspace or instants in time and bothcan be subdivided without anyapparent limit in size or duration.So physicists now consider ourworld to be embedded in this 4-dimensional Space-TimeContinuum and all events,places, moments in history,actions and so on are describedin terms of their location inSpace-Time that does notevolve, but simply exists. Whenwe examine a particular objectfrom the stand point of its space-time representation, everyparticle is located along its worldline. This is a spaghetti-like linethat stretches from the past tothe future showing the spatiallocation of the particle at everyinstant in time. This world lineexists as a complete objectwhich may be sliced here andthere so that we can see wherethe particle is located in spaceat a particular instance. Oncewe determine the completeworld line of a particle from theforces acting upon it, we cansolve its complete history. Theworld line does not change withtime, but simply exists as atimeless object. Similarly, ingeneral relativity, when we solveequations for the shape of space-time, this shape does not changein time, but exists as a completetimeless object. Roger Penrosecame up with a radically new

way to develop a unified theoryof physics. Instead of seeking toexplain how particles move andinteract within space and time,he proposed that space and timethemselves are secondaryconstructs that emerge out of adeeper level of reality. StephenHawking says that quantumtheories are deterministic in thesense that they give laws for theevolution of the wave with time.The whole history of science hasbeen a gradual realisation thatevents do not happen in anarbitrary manner, but that theyreflect a certain underlyingorder. The universe would becompletely self-contained andnot affected by anything outsideitself. It would neither becreated nor destroyed, it wouldjust be.

Every 5000 year Time Cyclecomprising Satyuga, Treta,Dwapar and Kaliyuga repeatsin a cyclical way. Time is fixedand bound and it is no wayeverlasting following the linearpath. Prof M.S. Modgil of IIT,Kanpur, explains that in cyclictime, cause and effect areequivalent, and all events arecausally related to each other. Noevent can be judgedindependently of all other eventsor made to stand alone. It followsthat effort and reward are a non-dual indistinguishable pair incyclic time. In contrast, in finitelinear time, one can trace all

events to the first event, wherethe chain of reasoning comes toa standstill. One space-time eventcausally influences anotherspace-time point, a causal lightsignal has to propagate from the1st point to the 2nd point. Thus onenot only has to consider thegeometry of time for determiningstructure of causality, but also thestructure of space. There existsa class of space-times in whichlight rays return to their startingpoint in a single time cycle, itfollows that each point cancausally influence itself–by usingthe signal generated in theprevious time cycle. Thus thecausal structure is reflexive.Similarly, if one point lies in futureof another point, the point infuture can influence the past bya light signal which circles theuniverse and arrives at the pastin the next time cycle. Thus thecausal structure is alsosymmetric. In cyclic time, thesame set of events would haveoccurred in the last time cycle.The signal from quantummeasurement performed in thelast time cycle, would circle theuniverse and would influence orinform the 2nd particle of outcomeof the past cycle’s measurement,in the present time cycle. Thesignal that the particles pick up isactually from the last time cycle.Total change of any particle overa single time cycle is zero. That’show the particle would have the

initial momentum, energy etc., atthe end of the time cycle. FromMurli points, we know that thesubtle energy spread by humanthoughts also influences theelements of nature. Nature isbasically a complex web ofenergy. Natural calamities andother catastrophic phenomenaoccur as per the natural order inwhich all elements and energyinteract with each other. Themacrocosm of the universe withvarious elements of nature isconstantly influenced by themicrocosm of human nature. Allround changes in human souls,animals and nature occur withina hundred year time span in TheDiamond age i.e. Sangamyugaat the end of every Time Cycle.All the depleted human soulbatteries are first recharged bythe main power house i.e.Supreme Soul and then thepower is transmitted to theanimals and nature. Ourthoughts, emotions and actionssend out positive or negativevibrations around us, affectingthe energies of nature. Dr. Emotoof Japan has experimented thatpositive thought producessymmetrical while negativethought creates deformed watercrystals.

No material signal couldtravel faster than light, but thethought communication is notwithin the restriction imposed bythe light-speed limit and might

be super luminal. Therefore,thoughts must be propagated onsome sort of tachyonic wavesoriginating from themetaphysical soul. Any particle,faster than light, propagatesbackward in time and thereforereaches its destination at amoment earlier than that atwhich it originated. I have madean easy calculation of the speedof soul which is double the speedof light as proved from thecustom of 13/14 days gapbetween the death of a personand his after-death ceremony i.e.Shraddh. Actually in meta-physical sense, it’s the time ofthe soul leaving one body andentering into a mother’s womb.Speed of light in a second isequivalent to approximatelyseven days in earth bound timeand in this context ,14 days afterdeath observance of purity ofbody and mind might have a linkto the journey of the soul in thenext costume.

Dr. Raymond Moody in herbook Life after Life hasmentioned that in ‘out of bodyexperience’, everyone tells abouttimelessness, although he/she candescribe the interlude in thespiritual body in temporal terms,time was not really an elementof his/her experience. Spiritualsense had no limitations as itcould look anywhere andeverywhere. It seemed to thatperson at that time that if

something happened at any placein the world he could just bethere. He did not hear themaudibly, but it was more likeknowing what they werethinking and he could catch iteven before they uttered thewords. Within body also, suchexceptional metaphysicalexperiences happen ineveryone’s life such as, a motherlearning of the problem of herchild before it happens or theparents visualizing the status ordifficulty of their children stayinga long distance away from them,spouses catching the mentalfrequency of one another wherethe relation is quite cordial anddeep etc.

According to Carl Jung’stheory of Synchronicity, there issuch a mass of people who areconscious of their spiritualevolution through the integrationof the material, psychologicaland spiritual realms and they aresoon going to achieve thatcritical mass. As their desiresand intents are so potent a forcethat they can organise space-time events, there will naturallybe catastrophic changes in theentire planet leading to thedestruction of the Iron agedworld and re-establishment ofthe Golden-Aged World. Space,though infinite, is unbounded andis curved. Time has alwaysbeen considered as eternal andshould also be looked upon as

cyclic, there are no initial origins.The world has always been there–parts of it going into the stateof dissolution and rebuildingthem. The quantum conceptionof time radically differs fromconventional, linear motions, somuch so that perception of timein a quantum context can haveextraordinary import. Manyathletes have reportedexperiencing time in just such away of non-flowing, non-linearspace-time. Past, present andfuture exist at the same time, butat different frequencies. At thedeepest level of consciousness,there is no sense of flow of time,only an ‘eternal now’ in whichall events co-exist. Beyondspace-time, the soul has no time.Within body, the soul functionsin accordance with earth- boundclock at a variance in latitudeand longitude. But when the soulleaves the body or out-of-bodyexperience, there is no feelingof time. If we want to slow timedown, we have to learn to be adetached observer of thethousands of events around us.If we want to stop time, we needmeditation and to be in ouroriginal, timeless, eternalconsciousness. Actually timecannot be saved or lost, but mustbe lived now. This is where ourwill power is important and wecan choose exactly how wecould spend our time at anymoment.

to observe moderation, hispersonality will be known as aharmonious and healthypersonality. One, who has aharmonious personality, haspeace of mind. He has notension and almost nosymptoms of mental ill-health.Harmony and AdjustmentBut, in this connection, it

should be understood that mentalharmony and co-ordination havenot to be merely among one’sown urges, impulses,potentialities, rational sense, etc.but with the realities of thesituations also. We often observethat when a man seeks to satisfyhis needs or fulfil his desires, heis confronted with certainobstacles, thwarting situations,awaiting failures, or resultingdisappointments and they arelikely to create disturbance in hismind. One has, therefore, toadjust his goals or harmonisehis urges or to face thesituation squarely. This kind ofadjustment and harmonisationwith the reality and with life’ssituations also is essential tohave mental health and toavoid conflicts.

Harmony of one’s personalitywith the situations andenvironment, either by havingcontrol and mastery over themor by re-adjustment of one’sgoals, desires and endeavours,

or by developing the trait ofsatisfaction and contentment inall circumstances, brings peaceto one’s mind. This kind ofharmony results from theintegration and co-ordination ofone’s (i) thinking, (ii) feeling and(iii) striving with one’spotentialities and character traits.If one thinks of achieving aparticular high goal, strives onlylittle, does not use one’spotentialities and has othertendencies pulling in otherdirections and feels frustrated,he/she does not have aharmonious mind or aharmonised, properly adjustedpersonality. Deep thinking wouldreveal that purity of thoughtsbrings us both kinds of harmony,for it does not make us over-ambitious so that we remainstable; it removes our lazinessand lethargy so that we strivehard for success; it gives us goodtendencies so that we can havesympathy, co-operation andgood-will for others and if at allour goals are not fully achievedor there are failures, purity ofmind prevents us from feelingtense or frustrated because wehave knowledge of Destiny orDrama. Also it gives us thepower to persevere, to tolerateand to remain calm andbalanced. So, Dadi Janki’s‘harmonious mind’ or ‘peacefulpersonality’, as certified by

experimentators in theirscientific laboratories, is due toher purity and proper adjustmentof the knowledge of EternalWorld Drama (EWD) andKarma Philosophy as revealedby God Shiva through BrahmaBaba.

Wholesome and HealthyPersonality

But, it should be known in thiscontext that harmony is only oneaspect of personality though it isa very important aspect. Anotherimportant aspect of PersonalityDevelopment or Mental Healthis ‘full expression of onespotentialities and native innerurges. If one’s inner urges arerepressed and not fullyexpressed, one cannot have agreat, magnanimous or royalpersonality. On the other hand,one will have an undeveloped,crippled or deformed personality.The individual, who represses his‘drives’ and ‘urges’, becomesweak-willed and has feeblecharacter. He develops psycho-neurotic conditions, abnormalitiesof behaviour and many mentaland physical ailments. However,a person who has purity will notrepress his inner urges becausehe would not have fear. One,who is honest, truthful andrighteous (Sach), would dance(Nach) with joy, as hispotentialities will not be muchinhibited. He will have wider field

of service and people will providehim with great opportunities becausehe is great, honest, sincere andtrustworthy and this will provide himwith more and more chances ofexpression and manifestation of fullpotentialities and thereby leading todevelopment of his total personality.Thus, he will be able to build awholesome and healthypsychophysical personality.

For having Healthy Personality orMental Health, another importantthing is to have a Common End orUnified Goal. For, theharmonisation of variouspotentialities into a unified whole isnot possible if one does not directhis/her potentialities towards aCommon End or single goal. If thereare different aims or purposes, whichare in conflict with each other, thenharmonisation will not be possible toachieve. For example, if a personhas, on the one hand, the urge to helpothers to have spiritual elevation and,on the other, wants his own elevationto be higher than the former’s at anycost, then jealousy will come in placeof spirituality and there will beconflict in his mind, resulting intension and restlessness with thesituation. But, if, on the contrary, hisunified goal is the greatest wellbeingof all, submerging his own with thatof the society as a whole, then hewill have good will, good intentions(Shubh Bhavana and good wishes(Shubh Kamana) and he will haveno conflict within his own mind or

with others, and then theresult will be full and fairexpression of his ownpotentialities.

However, there is, beforethe common man, theproblem of choosing theright end or goal. There aresome goals or aims, whichare more capable of drawingout and directing man’spotentialities than others are.There are some aims, whichare good; there are others,which are not. For example,the end, which relates toexcessive acquisition ofwealth even by foul meansor to combat evils in othersby criticising them, showinganger or offence at others’faults, is undesirable as itengages man’s energies notfor higher goals and nobleraims. It cannot result inharmonisation of personality.If, on the other hand, onechooses the goal of GodlyService, human welfare andguiding people to build upcharacter and to have peace,the pursuit of this wider,benign and higher goal willgive to man the sense ofgreatest fulfilment,completeness, harmony andhappiness to the “personalityas a whole”. So, it is a pointworthy of high appreciationthat Baba has given to us the

goal of attaining deity status,which has completeness andperfection, and also has given usthe path of Godly Service whichhelps us to express ourpotentialities to the maximum. Infact, the whole system ofspiritual education is directedtowards achieving completenessor perfection in the form ofJeevan Mukti, i.e., harmonisingall traits with one another andby directing these to one unifiednoble goal.

Mental Health andHarmony

It should be easy, with theabove background knowledge,to understand why thescientists, who tested DadiJanki in San Francisco, saidthat their findings had shownthat she was healthy. SinceDadi does not have perfectphysical health, some BrahmaKumari Sisters and BrahmaKumar Brothers weresurprised at the abovepronouncement of the resultsof tests on her. But, if wekeep in mind the fact thatwhat the doctors had saidwas expressed aftermonitoring her personalityparameters and her brainwaves, there wil l be nocause for surprise becauseshe has no tension of mindor that of muscle and noneurotic or abnormal
