Become and Remain a Brahmin (includes the Brahma Kumaris Seven Days Course and Murli Extracts with Explanations)

In this book, the Brahma Kumaris Seven Days Course is taught through the first few chapters. Then, in the subsequent chapters of this book, there are: 1. murli extracts and explanations based on the knowledge in the murlis. 2. meditation guidelines. 3. brief accounts of history and other information so that the readers will have a better understanding on the BK knowledge, etc. When a student is introduced to the knowledge, which is taught during the Brahma Kumaris Seven Days Course, the student becomes a Brahmin if the student accepts the knowledge for spiritual effort making. The benefits of being a Brahmin are explained in this book. All BKs (members of the Brahma Kumaris) are Brahmins because they make spiritual efforts, based on the BK knowledge, so as to stay in yoga with God. You can also become a Brahmin through accepting and using the knowledge, which is in this book, for spiritual effort making.

Ability

Originally published in 1926, the first part of this book attempted to formulate a theory of ability in the light of recent experimental results of the time. It discusses the nature of intelligence and the problem of special abilities, and includes a study of some typical forms of genius. The second part gives an account of a three years’ experimental study of special abilities in arts and science respectively, carried out upon university students. Samples of the tests employed are included. The results are presented in non-technical form. Victoria Hazlitt was a pioneer of experimental psychology, which was particularly significant as a woman in the early twentieth century. In many cases her work anticipated later developments in psychology by many years. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.
