Wisdom of Wednesday (An English Podcast by Brahma Kumaris)

The world is witnessing yet another aggression. This is the time for all of us to keep ourselves stable, be at peace, and spread vibrations of peace. Every problem surfacing in the world and affecting people on a large scale can be traced back to the individual. It is the deformities inside the human soul that give rise to every problem imaginable. And one such vice is pride. We might be proud of many things. But pride cuts deep and cuts both ways. In this issue of Wisdom of Wednesday, let's explore the different aspects of pride, reflect deeply, and get rid of its damaging traits. Let's do this self-analysis along with giving light and love to the people of the world affected by the ongoing aggression.

This time, it's a bit different from our usual pattern of Wisdom of Wednesday. Today we share with you a collection of short poems - Consider these natural ripples or reverberations of the soul when it is filled with the love from GOD. These poems are special not because of their mathematical precision in rhyming, meter, tone, syntax or diction. The beauty of these poems lies in the fact that it's the natural expression of the soul - the expression of the innocent joy and freedom the soul felt when GOD cleansed the soul of the debris of many lifetimes. When GOD sets you free, an ordinary soul becomes a work of art.

A myriad of options to choose from seems to be a good thing. But when it comes to life, choosing the best life advice can sometimes be very confusing. Conflicting ideas and opinions rules the arena.

It's said, the Lord sang the Gita not in front of someone who has all the time in the world. He sang the Gita in front of the topmost warrior in the world, someone who is super-successful, momentarily bogged down by doubts and confusion.
