Hello Everybody,
I am new member of this site. I am not BK or PBK. Actually I don't even know the real meaning of these abbreviations. I don't know whether I am legally allowed to write here, as I am no way connected to the Brahmakumari, except that I watch their half an hour program on Aastha (Indian Sprituality Channel) at 10.30 with Brahmakumari Shivani. The name of the program is 'Awakening with Brahmakumaris'.
I like that a lot. The Sister Shivani looks very peaceful and very nice when she speaks about how to be a peaceful soul, how we can prevent anger, how we can accept different people around us.
But yesterday she talked about detachment. How being detached is correct. Somehow I am very attracted to sprituality and all these things from childhood days and I know as per Hindu philosphy everything is Maya, just detachment and meditation are path for God. But I want to know from those who are practising BKs or PBKs following questions:
Also, I believe in Karma. Do good and it will bounce to you, that is Karma. Do bad and again that will bounce to you. But if we read Hindu philosophy, it says that the 'Pashchatap' (feeling guilty and then doing correct actions) is first step to eradicate wrong deeds. Also, it is not human but the human action that created the wrong Karma, remove that action, feel sorry about it and God is merciful. But the Karma is one part, and intellect and hard work is another. God is always happy with hard work for good cause, good Karma and beautiful intellect. do not you guys think so?
I am Hindu and I feel mine God is like that. It encourages you to do good but it does not encourage you to blame things on your Karma and not work on them. If we believe BK philosophy then why should doctors exist, since patient is because of Karma? Why should be there artificial legs/Jaipur foot? Why we should have charities? Why we should help others? After all they are in whatever stage because of karma. Karma should be a motivational factor and not taken as a excuse.
I will keep on watching that program because it teaches many good things also:) and I will use of mind to differentiate what is right for me.

Somehow I am very attracted to sprituality and all these things from childhood days and I know as per Hindu philosphy everything is Maya, just detachment and meditation are path for God. But I want to know from those who are practising BKs or PBKs following questions:
- Is it right that BK talks about end of world?
Is it right that they talk about Heaven for only their members?
If there is no attachment, how will things work?
If everyone is just praying, who will cook, who will plough land? See if we use attached theory then we are attached to our body and hunger so we eat. Right? If we are detached we shouldn't eat.
Also, if ultimate aim is to pray and direct all energies to just God, what is purpose of this Universe? Of this world?
If marriage, children is wrong then what is 'Shristri' (Hindi word meaning life). is not life necessary? is not the Shiv Ling a beautiful picture of life?
