Happy Diwali

November-December 2018 2018

November-December,
Joy of doing new things
Youth mind generates new idea or is open to listen, work on new thoughts. When you get new idea,
nourish it. Write it down, share with someone who can fuel it. There is a possibility that people may
laugh, may not listen, may be not ready to accept and may reject. But you should keep nourishing it.
Youth should not be afraid of doing new things. There may be error or deviation while doing new things
but one should not get demotivated. Experimenting new things will keep the energy level live in your
life. There is lot of hope in the world around where one can practice new things. Before, doing new
things were not taken on note or was not encouraged. Now, the time has changed. There is innovation
taking place in every field. Even baste man in sending six out of boundary in different way.

When I was young, I was curious to understand what efforts were made while making a movie or some particular
scene in Jackie Chan movies. Nowadays, we get to see on videos some extra extracts that they add on how and by
what efforts the specific scene was shot. We get influenced or motivated and think – oh! What a work!!! When we see
movies, serials, matches, events on screen or when we see an officer, a politician, a leader etc. perform or work.

People see name, fame, wealth and prosperity of a person, overlook the effort, sacrifice, pain and tolerance, to pass
through different situations and exam.
Let us remember the day and time one gives the exam, which is for 2-3 hours. But a student knows what efforts he or
she has made to perform during this 2-3 hours. To have the title of world fastest man, the 100-metre race is of less
than 10-second task. Performing it consistently, holding the title year after year, Olympic after Olympic, only Usain
Bolt could able to do. His mother played an important role in his coaching and training.

One should have motive and inner wish to understand and learn what kind of efforts one has gone through in order to
perform well on screen. Should learn tricks and techniques from the performer. You will be able to perform well only
when you have worked hard behind the scene and screen. Practice, developed relevant skills, created opportunity,
worked hard, has preserved towards cherished goal.

Say Goodbye
The most powerful anchor on our potential to soar high in life is the past.
The past contains the dead weight of experience, learned beliefs and all
our mistakes. Life cannot truly begin until we are able to say goodbye to
the legacies of yesterday at will. Like a filing cabinet, the past is a
resource of information for learning, but it is not a place to live. When
you go to work do you spend your day in the filing cabinet?

How often will you/did you live in the past today? Say goodbye and make
it final. Saying farewell to yesterday, last month and last year is the sign
of a person who wants to live for today and is truly alive to all the
possibilities of 'the moment', while fully aware that all they think, say and
do right now, creates tomorrow.

Dear Readers,
Light a lamp of love, blast a chain of
sorrow, shoot a rocket of prosperity,
fire a flowerpot of happiness. Youth
Wing, Brahma kumaris wishes you a
very happy and Sparkling Diwali.

May the beauty of Diwali fill your

home with happiness, and may the
coming year provide you with
everything that brings you joy! 2
The intellect of a youth gets exhausted when his mood swings and his focus lacks. Many times, he wanders around
without any goal and objectives. It roams in many things and places without any reasons. One finds that the mind is
in drifting mode in career, relations, and desires. Unnecessarily thinking about the things in and around. During this
state, one gets to break down, and get tired. In ambiguity and doubts, they develop so many possibilities, waste their
valuable psychological energy. Swinging and flickering of mind is like as if we are lost in the mid of the city without
finding a way out.

The swinging of mood is not restricted to a place, or a time. One thinks about the past and become restless by
thinking of the future. Applying one’s intellect in solving academic problems or logical task is good, that also need
analysis in which intellect switch from one alternative to other in search of a solution. That is constructive, healthy
and desirable.
Some of the possible solutions to keep our mind focused on, in one direction are:
1. Leave the matter for a while and try to find an alternative with an empowered and fresh mind.
2. Write them, introspect ask yourself - “what I really need”, “why I need them”? It will clarify so many doubts.
3. Ask and share it with seniors or the person of your faith, take an opinion or directions to have solutions. Don't
drain your energy by thinking repeatedly on and on.
4. Don't include past events, situations in mood swinging, which are of no use. Past is past. Learn from it and
move forward.
5. Engage the mind and the intellect in some constructive activity rather than thinking on too many things.
6. We should have a pre-designed and tested solution of different situations. Change it, modify it wherever &
whenever necessary. This can safeguard swinging mind. One can take quick decision in such situations. For
example, if I want to travel from Jaipur to Ahmedabad. Let me be clear about my priorities, either by plane,
train or bus.

In some situation have patience, wait and watch, hold your thoughts, keep on progressing.

A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached

to nothing. Most people spend much of their time looking for
reasons to be offended. An open mind is never offended
because it is free of any attachments.
It is never the self that is offended but always the illusion
that the self has of itself that is affected by insult! If you can
really understand this, deeply grasp it's truth, live it each day,
then pain will be no more.
Next time you 'feel' offended look closely within yourself at
yourself and ask yourself what was offended? If you remain
aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself
which you had become attached to, and that image did not

weren't attached, if you didn't identify with the wrong image
of yourself then there would be no offence taken. You would
