AntonellaFerari shared, “I do believe that every single human being who is a soul will take
enormous pleasure to reawaken their values. We need to believe that we can be
rather than thinking I can’t be. Many years ago a BK sister shared that if you
think victory is far then it takes to achieve the same. We should believe that
victory is here & now so that we are able to achieve the same. I read a
book on spirituality in train & they saw me reading & a few people came
& started discussing about spirituality. In western
world if I read such a book then people will move away. In india we provide a
lot of co-operation to all. The core thing is just to believe that I Can.”
On being
asked by Anthony Phelips “How easy it is to maintain
your spirituality? Are you able to highlight spirituality?”
Gajanan Gandhe responded “It is a challenge but what we need to do is to be open. Ego comes in
the way of being Spiritual. If I
have to resolve issues, it is sometimes difficult so what I do is say to myself
that , Can I be pure. If I am pure & have humility in my nature I will be
able to change others. Companies in India have been asked to be corruption
free. In last 14 years I have not dealt with corruption at all. This has
happened as there is equal number of good people in India. When it’s difficult
to deal with complex people you need to use your core values. We need to have
courage & humility to change situations around. Brahma Kumaris have shown
that how to do things without expecting any appreciation as they offered food
& did the program without any expectations but just to change our outlook.”
Simran
Ahuja expressed her joy in participating and said, “I would like that you should all smile so that there is some love
that spreads all around. What we don’t do is, talk to each other. How should we
apply spirituality is what we don’t know. We have to live by values& not
only just know them. It was a wonderful new beginning to participate in the
dialogue. You all have inside you your own resolves and lot of love. Just that
you need to experience it.” She further went on to share,
“Speaking about ego, I do remember that
every cause has its effect. We should not expect respect. I go to bed with
smile & wake up with a smile. When people take you for granted then you
should not be egoistic but speak to yourself & be happy & not let ego
take over your original nature.”
Paridhi
Sharma quoted “I play Jodha in Jodha
Akbar serial. When I started learning acting it was difficult to portray actor
which is not real me. If I am happy in real life but if acting demands crying
then I am able to do it now. We are all great actors and we have learnt the art
of pretending and not showing our real emotions. We have to just change these
thoughts which are untrue to ourselves. We are Mind, Body & Soul. Don’t pretend in real life and leave the
acting to us actors. Child is innocent and in the same way even we should be
like a child who shows his true emotions so we should consider another
childhood.”
Shri.
Kirit Somiya, MP, NE Mumbai & BJP National Secretary graced
this occasion .
The objective of the program is to
spark off deliberation on use of power by the leaders of this country. As we experience shift of power from west to
east, India is coming at the center- stage of the world and it’sup to its
leaders in all the fields to take the responsibility of this world power being
entrusted to them.
The dialogue is in partnership with
the Brahma Kumaris and was attended by over 50 leaders belonging to over 15
different professions from Thane city and abroad.
