2. Knowing Myself

Knowing Myself Part I - the Soul

I understand that I am not the role or relationships or not even the body.
Then what thing am I ? How it interacts with this body and physical matter ?

What is True Freedom ?




Knowing Myself Part II - Experiencing the Self

It logically makes sense that I am a soul, life energy
Why is it hard to feel the presence of the self ?

Knowing Myself Part III - Soul Consciousness

Is soul a spirit a ghost ? Am I a ghost ? Is it in my body all the while ?
How do you explain "Out of body experience" that is referred in many journals and studies ?

  2. Dear Sudha,

    Brahma Kumaris Meditation as you know is an open eyed Meditation. why open eyed ? so that we can be in meditative peaceful state amongts these crazy distractions.
    Then you might ask how can i be peaceful in these crazy distractions ??
    With this knowledge our awareness is shifted. meaning the way we relate to the distraction(situation) is different. for example itchy head or noisy amnience ... thats where we shift our awareness ... I am not this body which has itchy head .. instead I am the soul separate from body and observe whats happening to the body.. Believe me it works... One very proven study in psychology is we the souls trigger the chemical changes in the physical body. once we separate ourselfs body has all the medicine it needs to fix its requirments...
    Hope this answers..

  6. Dear Sudha,

    As you right pointed out Angry is triggered by stress. If you ignore that irritates the person more. It might be interpretted as disrespect. The best way to deal with this is spread vibes of peace in the house thru meditation. It works like like showering water on fire.

    Spread the Peace !! You are Peaceful Soul !!

  9. I want to ask sister shivani a few questions
    that

    people tell me

    1)brahmakumari says krishan is not god...you also say that ...every one was manav avatar ...no one was paramatma
    i accept
    jesus said i am son of god ...accepted

    But in geeta bhagwat ...we read that ...krishna says that i am poorna god.......then How CAN i deny that he was god.

    2) you said Bhagwan ram worshipped shiv , I accepted but you will find in krishna story that shivji worshipped krishna.. he came to vrindavan to worship krishna on krishna's birth

    and in shiv purana that shivji says who so ever tries to compare me and vishnu is wrong
    we both worship each other

    3)you say 33 crore devi devta ...accepted they are devta punyaatma only

    but what about brahma vishnu mahesh
    they are not manav ..................


    please reply to my doubts they make it difficult to believe your story ..............................
    i really hope you must have answers to my doubts ...without discarding my beliefs ...i feel i could accept rajyoga meditaion ........

  10. Om Shanthi!
    TO NIDHI.ANSWERS FOR YOUR QUESTIONS.
    1)The supreme soul shiv is father of dharam pitha's also.Those Dharampithas in this confluence age get knowledge from Parampithaparamathma.Not only jesus everyone are children of supremesoul.
    BAGWATH geetha was said by parampithaparamathma not krishna.But in shastras they say krishna,we say shivparamathma,krishnaparamathma only.Not ramaparamathma,brahmaparamathma...Paramathma is added to shiv and krishna only.Krishna also 2 types:1)satyug krishna(brahmababa) 2)sangamyug krishna who has 16000 gopigopikas,he fights with kalanaag(5 vices) and also with kans.

    2)Actually in shastras they combined shiv and shankar.We say shiv ling not shankar ling.Shankar will always sit in nirakarstage.In brindavan,shiv came to enter in sangamyug krishna to do the part of father.krishna's birth meansn it is his starting stage in gyan.Brahma means brah=big+ma=mother;bigmother.If mother is there in sakaar then father also will be there.WE should now enter into DWARAKA,dwa=two+raka=doors.1st door is of brahmababa and second door is of father's(shivshankarbolenath).
    Shiv and vishnu are not same.In shastras we say Brahma so vishnu means brahma is only vishnu.Shiv and shankar have same body but different souls.It is not shiv purana it is shankar purana.Shiv is a soul who will not take any birth to have history.

    3)THERE ARE 33 CRORE DEVATHAS.But only 900000 only will take birth in satyuga.In those 9 lakhs,4 1/2 lakhs will have their present body only.50000 belong to suryavamshi.BRAHMA,VISHNU,SHANKAR.
    brahma=bigmother
    vishnu=vishay vikar ko dhoor karne vala.
    shankar=sha=shiv+ka=satyug krishna+ra=ram's soul.Shankar(father) part is mixed part of three in one body.Shankar part is in sangamyug only as shiv will not come to earth from satyug to kalyug.Brahma,vishnu,shankar(ram's soul) are manav,they take 84 births and become pathith.Shiv comes and makes everyone pavan and takes to our home(paramdham).Again satyug starts and cycle moves....There is lot of gyan along with meditation.The 1000's of questions arises in our we should get answers for all as this is the time to meet him and ask,again after 5000 years only shiv will come again.

  19. Hi

    I am pursuing MBA and have been consistent performer throughout my academics.

    However,in BSchool ,I have bitter experiences which have left me depressed and with no confidence.I get nervous while giving presentations,people here make fun of my voice as it is bit pithy.As a result,my confidence level has dropped significantly.I am a bit impatient and not so social.I I feel alone and hence fearful.
    Inferioirity complex has creeped in and I feel as if people don't like me.

    What should I do?

  24. Dear Sister Shivani,
    I took up Rajyoga meditation course recently and found that it is making a huge change in my personality for better. I am being a happpy person now. However, there are some questions lingering in my mind. I listened to one of the Murlis about confluence age where they say that Parmatma wants us to strive to be Lakshmi Narayans, otherwise, it will be an insult to HIM even after having this knowledge of the Supreme Soul. I was also told that it would be an insult to Brahmakumaris if after knowing what we are, we continue not to develop/bring out our true virtues. I understand that Parmatma is only full of divine virtues, so where does the point of Insulting Him comes into picture. I believe that if everyone tries to understand and look for our true nature (being a soul), then there need not be a threat saying that you can become Lakshmi Narayana and enjoy being in Satyug only if you strive to do this. I do not want to be a Lakshmi Narayana, I only want to be a happy soul. I do not want to take this pressure to become one, I want to do it happily with my free-will. What does the point told in Murli mean? Thanks

  25. Dear sisiter Shivani,
    I am your big fan and personaly admire you for your deep rooted qualities. I was watching your program and learned that we(humans)try to find GOD in physical form who are actually divine souls and have similar qualites of GOD. You even added that for permanent healing of soul we need to connect ourselves with GOD. but can you please tell me how we can connect ourselves to god? Is it through mediation or through chanting GOd's name? Its my humble request that please discuss this topic in one of your episodes. But do it after 1st APRIL because I have my board exams right now. Thank you.

  27. Dear sister Shivani,
    I listen to your videos and I have learnt a lot from you. I have a question for you:
    No matter how nice you are to a person, they still hurt you everytime they meet you. I mean like the in laws family; you can't get rid of them and you have to constantly bear their hatred and dirty comments against me and my family. How to deal with this type of situation.
    Thanks
