Sister Jayanti Addresses Spanish National Retreat on “The Expression of True Love”

Barcelona: Sister Jayanti, European Director of Brahma Kumaris addressed Spanish National Retreat, under the topic of “The expression of true love”.

The retreat gathered 126 BKs from Spain and was held at a retreat place near Barcelona, it is a Christian monastery which we have been using for twenty years.

Sister Jayanti with grace and tirelessness shared her clarity and depth of knowledge through

lectures, interviews and different meetings.

Here are some jewels extracted of her

lectures :

If I see that my sanskars don’t change is because I don’t follow the subtle shrimat: for instance, not to have wasteful thoughts.

Do I do things with the right intention? My intention creates my feelings, and the feelings determine the result.

The stronger becomes an addiction, the lower becomes my self-respect.

We need to take care properly of our body. Don’t be simply the driver of the body but be also the mechanic.

In the future, test will take the form of people coming to check if we are what we say.

A shrewd intellect is like a knife that cuts falsehood and allows us to see the genuine truth. But it can also hurt you!

Awareness creates my attitude. Mansa seva

 is service through the mind, I have to make my mind so clean so that God can use my mind as an instrument to serve the world.

If I still keep sorrow inside and I justify it, what kind of feelings am I going to generate? With such feelings I can’t serve.

Finally she gave a blessing for Spain: Spain has a good record of harmony and being free from conflicts, very few incidents of relevance.
