Rest or Restless

(Any point has multiple perspectives... when we listen to the murlis, we see different facets of His personality, each of it is useful to us... this sharing is with that in mind...)

Restlessness is a sign of impending progress. We move to seek comfort.

In this life, each second should be better than the previous one. Even if you are doing service very well, the question is, what is new? Have you changed within? Has the world changed? Are they writing their opinion - yes, the Brahma Kumaris are revealing the Truth - God is not omnipresent, the Ganges is not the purifier, the Purifier is God alone; the Lord of the Gita is not Krishna, but incorporeal God, the Supreme Soul...

Until the confluence age is over, you cannot really rest. Your heart should be "jumping" to do more service. The history-geography of the world, the knowledge should be dancing in your intellect...

As your vision, so is the world. Life offers test papers in accordance to your stage. You need the hammering... to become an idol...The storms are your gifts for progress. Your job is to pass them. If you fail... stop, introspect and then move on faster with this new learning. The experienced one does not get deceived.

Your stage may be good, but the efforts may be low... On the other hand your stage may not be good but your efforts may be outstanding. Then, its a matter of time before your stage also becomes good. The main point is consistency of effort making. The good is often the enemy of the best (Being good may often deter you from progressing further... complacency may set in and you may feel you know it well...). Consistent effort making will help you become the best. As Baba says, it is "number wise, ***according to effort***"

If the situation goes out of control, give the control to Baba. Actually, if the control was with Baba in the first place, things would have worked out well... don't carry the burden... give the responsibility to Baba...and yet be a worthy instrument.

Each Vice is a power. Know how to leverage it by changing it into positive. (there is a murli on this) Lust should be transformed into good wishes and pure feelings... Anger into determination and so on... (Its also the way it is done in judo... the opponents' force is leveraged to conquer them).

Learn from the situations how to grow and transcend them. There is the story of hanuman... when the opponent was big, he would become small... when the opponent was small, he would become big... be creative... and learn to handle each situation as appropriate...
