On self mastery

Simple, beautiful insights from Dadi Janki on self mastery.

Instruct the mind with authority - you belong to me... now be quiet, be patient. There is no need to think - how is this, why is that, in which way will something turn out...stay quiet. Everything is easy. There is no need to make it complicated.

Those in high positions keep a security guard near them. They don't meet just anyone. Keep elevated thoughts as your security guard. Do not allow just any thought to enter.

I need to keep looking at myself. What is the purpose of my life? What is the purpose for me, for my community, for the world? Around the world, people need peace...they need help. What am I doing about it? Do I just listen to the news and share the news or do I do something about it?

There are three bank accounts that are imperishable. One: effort making for the self and we develop deeper interest in progressing. Two: staying contented and making others contented - this earns blessings from all. Three: serving others from the heart - this accumulates in the account of charity.

Good example on how to use insights directly from the murli, applying to the given context based on the need, shared with love and good wishes. This is maturity. Very inspiring to see the close with a call to action.
