Dear Friends,
Om shanti. When we especially want to express deep feelings, we refer to the heart. For instance, we say, “in my heart, I feel that I want to make true, spiritual effort,” or we say, “I want to remember God with my heart” or “I don’t want to keep anything else in my heart”. When the heart expresses itself in this way, then the mind and intellect listen to what is in the heart. They accept and obey. Otherwise the mind and intellect don’t tend to listen to the heart. They go off in their own direction and do their own thing. Sometimes they get confused; sometimes they are disobedient.
The ability to realize one’s own mistake happens in the heart. When there is a deep feeling in my heart about something, that is, when I realize something deep within, only then will my intellect work well. Realization happens in the heart. This is different from what happens in the conscience. The intellect has a subtle connection with the conscience, which helps us to discern right from wrong. But realization and deep understanding happen in the heart.
Think about these things and understand how to keep God in your heart.
With love,
BK Janki

I've changed many of my habits (sanskars). my life is so beautiful since I heard Dadi, i've learnt simplicity and look forward to learning more.
Mamta: We understand it can sometimes be difficult to make choices in our lives. But ultimately we are creators of our own destiny and the masters of our own lives. Perhpas we could suggest that you write a list of the pro's and con's of the situation. Then put away the list and sit quitely and reflect and feel from your heart which is the right thing to do. Further if you do this in the awareness of being a soul a child of God, then your choices will bring benefit, to you and thoes around you.
Kavitaverma: To change our deep rooted sanskars we need determination, attention and patience. Deep rooted sanskars have become natural to the soul and so automatically come into play when responding or reacting to situations, relationships or even our own thoughts. We have to become a detached observer of ourselves so we can really 'see' what the root of the sanskara is and make the concious choice to change - to choose the ascending path, rather than slide down the decending path of habit. To cultivate pure awareness and to receive power - meditation and connection to the Supreme Source of all powers and qualities; God the Purifier - is a direct way to change sanskaras. With this focused attention and direct relationship the soul becomes pure.
Thank you Dadi for sharing and teaching Shiv baba's words. Every day i read your messages, it gives me spritiual strength.
So, for making the difference in wrong or right, one have to first realise himself. Then only one can take right decision every time.
