Today while sipping my morning dose of self-realization with “Awakening with Brahmakumari” , i was fascinated by a simple word...i would like to share it with you...
Responsibility - the ability to respond... and today i have understood the meaning of it... as i am the creator of my thoughts, the first and foremost responsibility is to take care of self... i am the creator of my feelings - happiness, pain, sorrow, loneliness, loveliness... so if i can control myself and my thoughts, there will always be happy moments... that is why it is said that knowing oneself is knowing God... In Tagore’s words “aapnake aaj janay amar phurabe na...ey janary sange sange tomay chena...” so from today try to stop creating any form of negative thoughts... try not to get irritated at all irrespective of the situation...
another aspect i have learnt from the words of wisdom... the priorities of our responsibilities should be in the following order:

which has a devastating effect in life...
Most of the schools teach us about taking responsibilities by doing something, e.g. studying, taking care of parents, helping friends and peers, doing social works... however, no school teaches us to take care of ourselves by being calm and peaceful... because only when we, ourselves become stable, calm and peaceful, then only we can help others...
