BrahmaKumari : A Picture is worth a Thousand Words

Different Thought Types
By understanding each one of the thoughts that the mind creates we can keep the beneficial thoughts and discard those which are useless or harmful. Today we explain:
Necessary Thoughts
Necessary thoughts are those relating to your daily routine, such as,
* What am I going to have for dinner? * What time am I picking up the children from school? * What is the number of my bank account? * What have I got to do today .... etc.?
They are also thoughts connected with your profession or job. These necessary thoughts related to your daily life come into your mind according to your responsibilities and needs at a more physical, material and professional level. When these thoughts are repeated over and over again, they become unnecessary or waste thoughts.
Waste Thoughts
Waste thoughts are thoughts that are produced at untimely moments that fill us with worry and anxiety when they appear in our minds. They have no constructive use. Unnecessary and useless thoughts are quick and repetitive which lead you nowhere. Often they refer to things from the past: * If this hadn't happened ... * Why did she have to say that to me?
Too many thoughts are about things that we cannot change, or worries about the future: * What will happen tomorrow? * How will it happen? * What will I do if I find myself on my own? * If I had been there at the time, this disaster would not have happened. * If I had had this information at the time, I would have won the case. * When I get the degree, I will be more respected by my superiors.
Your ability to concentrate is weakened by these useless thoughts. If you have a lot of these thoughts you use more energy and time to undertake each task.
The origins of negativity also reside in them.
From the time that the past has already passed and the future is yet to come, these kinds of thoughts are not useful and they also weaken your inner strength and exhaust you. It is vital that we learn to avoid this pattern of thinking. In this way you will be more focused and your decision making capacity will improve.
Negative Thoughts
Negative thoughts not only harm you but have an impact on others also. These thoughts disturb your peace and weaken your inner strength. If these thoughts occur on a regular basis, they can cause health problems, both physical and mental. They can even become destructive.
Negative thoughts are based on the five vices primarily - lust, anger, greed, ego, attachment. They are chiefly caused by selfish and harmful reasons, without taking into account the values and inner qualities of the person e.g.
* I think they should pay me more without having to do any more work to earn it (greed).
Negative thoughts also arise from unsatisfied expectations, in disagreements, in laziness, revenge, racism, jealousy, criticism, hate and an excess of power.
* My boss never appreciates my work but he always values my colleagues more (jealousy).
Positive Thoughts
Positive thoughts are those thoughts which give us and others the experience of our original virtues like peace, love, joy, purity and power. They enable us to collect inner strength and equip us to wear a constructive attitude. Positive thinking means looking at what is beneficial in all circumstances, without being trapped in what is visible externally in those particular situations. Thinking positively involves looking at problems and recognizing realities, but at the same time being able to find solutions without being confused and experiencing feelings of powerlessness. This often requires tolerance, patience, peace and spiritual wisdom.
Positive thoughts make one internally strong and as a result our expectations of others decrease. This does not mean that they do not matter to us, but that we no longer demand love, respect, recognition, etc. from them, which is the best way to create long-lasting and harmonious relationships.
A person who thinks positively is aware of the weaknesses of others, but even then will direct his/her attention towards their positive sanskaras or personality traits. When we have inner happiness and are filled with positive energy, we have the strength to accept other people as they are without wanting them to be different. This acceptance produces more stable relationships

Question: Which contract can no one except the Father take? The contract of making the world pure can only be the Father's contract. No one else can take this contract.
Certainly, sannyasis become pure and sustain this world, but they cannot take the contract of making the world pure.
The Father shows you children the way to become pure. Children, remember the one Father while carrying out your business etc. Connect your intellects in yoga with the one Father.

"The Father says: Sweet children, remember Me! That's all! It is only through this remembrance that the soul becomes pure.When you spirits have the faith that the spiritual Father is giving you methods to become pure, you will continue to renounce the vices."
"The Father says: Renounce body consciousness, become soul conscious and remember the Father. He is the Purifier. No one understands that they are souls and that they have come here to play their parts. The drama is now coming to an end and we have to return home. This is why Baba says: Remember Me and your sins will be absolved. In the Sanskrit language this is known as “Manmanabhav”."
"There is just the one world. The world cycle continues to turn. The new world becomes old and the old world becomes new: this is called the discus of self-realisation. Those who do have knowledge of this cycle are called spinners of the discus of self-realisation. The soul has knowledge of how this world cycle turns."
"The Father now explains: They didn't have any knowledge. Only the Father gives you the knowledge of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. This is the discus of self-realisation. The discus is not anything of violence with which to cut throats. All that they have written is lies. No one, apart from the Father, can give you this knowledge. ...
The Father teaches you Raja Yoga. You cannot say that the children should have the same praise as that of the Father. Children are those who take rebirth; the Father doesn't take rebirth. Children remember their Father. The Highest on High is God. He is ever pure. Children become pure and then become impure. The Father is always pure. The children definitely need the Father's inheritance. Firstly, you want liberation and then liberation-in-life."
"This is the confluence age when the Father has to come. I have to come when the old world has to be made new. I come to purify the impure world. People have said that I am omnipresent and that I come in every age. This is why they are confused. Only you know the confluence age"
..."This one belongs to Me and adopts renunciation. Renunciation of what? Of the five vices. There is no need to renounce your home or family. While living at home with your family, you have to remain pure. Constantly remember Me alone and your sins will be absolved! This is the yoga through which the alloy is removed from you and you become satopradhan. In devotion, no matter how much you bathe in the Ganges, hold sacrificial fires and perform tapasya, you definitely do have to come down. You were satopradhan and are now tamopradhan. Therefore, how can you become satopradhan once again? No one apart from the Father can show you this path. The Father tells you everything very easily: Constantly remember Me alone. He is speaking to souls,"
"It is the spirit that needs knowledge because it is the spirit that has become impure. It is the soul that requires a spiritual injection. The Father is called the spiritual eternal Surgeon. He comes and gives His own introduction: I am your spiritual Surgeon. Because you souls are impure, even your bodies have become diseased. At this time, the people of Bharat, that is, the whole world, are residents of hell. The Father then explains how you can become residents of heaven. The Father says: I come and make all of you children into residents of heaven. You also understand that you truly were residents of hell. The iron age is called hell. It is now the end of hell. At this time, the people of Bharat are in the depths of hell. You cannot call this sovereignty. They continue to fight and quarrel among themselves. The Father is now making you worthy of going to heaven and you should therefore listen to Him."
Blessing:
May you have a powerful brake and serve with your blessed form as a light-and-might-house.
In order to serve with your blessed form, you first of all need pure thoughts within yourself and you also need the special practice of being able to control all your other thoughts in a second. Then, whenever you want, go to the bottom of the ocean of pure thoughts and become an embodiment of silence. For this, your brake has to be powerful, you have to have total control over your thoughts and have all rights over your intellect and sanskars for only then can you become a light-and-might-house and serve through your blessed form.
Slogan:
Be economical with your thoughts, time and words and you will be able to catch Baba’s help.

Thanks friend for all those likes ,

Doesn't it depict the different ages of spirituality or thought? I see the different religions as branches of the same tree, very beautiful description.

You may wish to explain more but there's a lot I liked and agreed with. You'll have to point out what you think I disagree with as I saw a lot of truth in it but didn't understand all if it but enough to give it an informed like.

You and your organization are very peaceful and loving people so I know you believe in goodness and truth.

Baha'u'llah says 'Ye are the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch".

Apparently there are two trees. One of them I could make out things like Iron Age and golden age but the other although I liked the art it wasn't clear what that meant so maybe you can explain it to me?

Thanks a lot friend for mentioning the good opinion you have of BKs.
It is said,
" You love the world , your heart is beautiful. The world loves you , your tongue is beautiful ".

Both the trees represent the same , taken from different sites made by different artists.
They represent the emergence of different religions and related scriptures after the silver age from the same foundation(trunk) as you had guessed.
It also represent the journey of mankind , its gradual descent from the Golden age(Heaven) to Iron age ( Hell).
It also represents how at the end of Iron Age some souls with yog and remembrance of God are able to recharge themselves and able to recreate the new world after the destruction of the old world.
You could find many similarities , and even I am amazed when I hear some sayings of Bahaullah or other such great souls or some verses in the scriptures and wonder how well they relate to the BK knowledge .
But I then understand that it is because all of them took their knowledge from the same source at the Confluence Age , like the same water in all rivers but tastes differently , but water along its journey has to get polluted .
But the Ocean is ever pure and after joining the Ocean , water (souls) get renewed , and it is only once in the cycle , i.e at the Confluence Age, which is now that the rivers( Great Souls) meet the Ocean , though they do not remember themselves or their journeys.
Hope I didn't confuse you.
