“One Of The Most Enlightened People Walking With Us In This World Is Dadi Janaki . At The Material Level , She Exists As A Woman , And At The Non – Material ( Spiritual ) Level She Sits At The Point Of Pure Awareness . Dadi Is Such a Soul That She Continues To Thread The Human Quilt So As To Awaken Us To A Better Future For Humanity.”

“Her Leadership Is Not Based On Any Formal Position That She Holds . Her Power Comes Purely From Her Spiritual Credibility. As a Leader , The More I’ve Searched For The Role Models , The More I’ve Come To Realise That This Is The Most Profound Power.”

Managing Anger

Page 14: Wisdom By Dadi Janakiji

MAINTAIN SELF RESPECTMAINTAIN SELF RESPECT

Keep Faith In Goodness Keep Pure Feelings In Your Heart Make Your Inner Stage Strong An End To Negativity Sincere Remembrance Of God Selfless Service To Others Stay Beyond Limitations Of The Mind : Temporary Desires Or

Expectations Lead To Disheartenment Or a False Sense Of Ego. God , Our Unlimited Supreme Parent , Is Giving Souls Of The

World The Unlimited Inheritance Of Peace. Success Is Ours When We Allow God To Work Through Us.

Page 15: Wisdom By Dadi Janakiji

SPIRITUAL POWER

We Serve Through Maintaining Spiritual Practice Over A Long Period Of Time

The Spiritual Strength We Gain Through This Sets Us Apart From Others And Makes Us Examples That Others Can Follow

I Believe Spiritual Power Is Fundamentally Linked To The Level Of One’s Consciousness.

The Lower The Level Of Consciousness , The Less We Have The Ability To Upload Consistency Between The Abstract And The Concrete.

The Higher The Level Of Consciousness , The Higher The Level Of Awareness , And The Higher The Ability To Work With Unity.

Page 16: Wisdom By Dadi Janakiji

CARING AND SHARING

If You Don’t Love , If You Don’t Experience Love In It’s Totality , You Cannot Become Fulfilled Because Absolute Fulfillment Is Love

If You Don’t Experience Caring And Sharing , You Cannot Become Complete Because Caring And Sharing Are Wholeness By Definition

If You Are Only Interested In ‘ My ‘ Thing , e.g. ‘ My ‘ Salvation , ‘ My ‘ Enlightenment , You Will Never Be Enlightened Because Individual Enlightenment Is Always Connected To All Others

Page 17: Wisdom By Dadi Janakiji

INNER RADIANCE

In The Personality Of Brahma Baba , Our University’s Founder , We Saw So Much Inner Radiance . In The Awareness Of Being An Instrument Of God He Paid Special Attention To Himself And Had Deep Regard For The One Who Had Made Him An Instrument

That Regard Enabled Him To Be An Instrument . His Personality Was Filled With Honesty , Humility And Truth

I , Too , Should Have Those Same Qualities. It Is These Qualities That Create The Sparkle Of Inner Radiance.
