Need to shed negativity stressed

Hyderabad: Sister B K Shivani, Brahmakumaris motivational speaker, on Sunday stressed the need to replace the element called negativity with five times more positive energy, "dua."

She was delivering a lecture at Shanti Sarovar in the city on the occasion of completion of 15 years of setting up of the meditation centre at Shanti Sarovar. Sister Shivani is in Hyderabad for three days.

On day two of her speeches on Sunday, she emphasised on the importance of attaining hundred percent happiness. She said happiness would not come from progress and success alone. Such happiness is from outside only. But what is more important is to have true contentment from inside.

The engineer-turned-motivational speaker said, "We end up doing so much hard work in life, earn success and money, but we tend to be unhappy, children turn out to be unhappy. This means we have got our equation in life reversed.

We need happiness, health and wealth, in the same order. Many among us think it is wealth which brings health and happiness, which is not true. Without health and happiness, we will not be able to enjoy even if we make lot of money."

She went on to share how important it is to have good thoughts. "Our thoughts are the seeds for our tree of life. When I create a thought, the quality of our thoughts dictates our feelings. It affects our body."

"According to her negative thoughts first affects the mind, body and then it reaches the person for whom one harbours the feelings. These negative thoughts go back and forth, and multiply and this is the reason for conflict within individuals, and countries.

Sister Shivani said start everyday with one thought and visualise yourself to be surrounded by circle of God's energy. Then no negative thoughts will enter your circle. Decide to remove one negative thought from your mind. Your thoughts manifest into reality," she said.

She further said, if you want to change your relation, change your thoughts. It can be any relation, and the thoughts can be judgemental, irritating; each of the vibrations will affect the other person.

If you are feeling low, check yourself for negative thoughts. To resolve this start sending pure thoughts, " she added.
