Jai Swaminarayan. We can stop abhav-avgun in many different ways. Fistly, we can start by chanting the Swaminarayan Mahamantra to divert the bad thinking into a positive manner. Next, we can avoid people that talk bad of others. Instead, we can instill the good qualities of others into other's minds. These are just a few ways we can stop and avoid abhav-avgun. Jai Swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan, It is human-nature to see faults in other people, however we can take a step back, and think about our thoughts and words. Step 1: stop and think. Step 2: introspect (antardrashti). Step 3: think about our bhagwan and guru-parampara. They saw everyone as faultless. Perhaps ask yourself "what would Mahant Swami do?" Step 4: at the end of the day, reflect on our words. Think about how you can improve your character. REMEMBER: when you choose to point a finger at someone, two fingers are always pointing towards us. Try and look at the good qualities in others, instead of abhav-avgun. "Think before you speak." Yogi Bapa has said "Use your words sparingly, as you would use milk and not as you would water." Maharaj and Swami dislike abhav-avgun, because it can lead us to fall out of Satsang. So let us pray that we stay away from abhav-avgun.

Jai swaminarayan I think the step that i think you should follow to not get near abhav-avgun is that we should always look at the gun (the nice things about someone or something) of everyone. Jai swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan, Mahant Swami Mahraj and Shriji Maharaj dislikes abhav-avgun.If we see faults in others we our ourselves creating a fault for us.Yogiji Maharaj used to say that instead of highlighting faults in others highlight faults in yourself. Gunatitanand Swami also said in one of his swami ni vato that,"SEVA TO POTANI SHRADDHA PRAMANE THAY TEM KARVI PAN ASEVA NA KARVI TE ASEVA TE SHU JE-- AVGUN LEVO" So we should all remember that swami and maharaj dont like abhav-avgun and thus follow it.

Jai Swaminarayan! Some steps I could take to stop thinking or speaking bad about others is to think about how I would feel if I were them. For example: I would dislike it if people were to think bad about me, or even say rude things! Another step I would take is to think that we are all swami's lions and lionesses. I would just keep in mind that we are all equal and we are all trying to achieve the same goal-to go to god ( for us, Akshardham and god and the Gunatit Satpurush ) and become pure. The last and most important step I would take is to think if Maharaj and Swami would like it or not. Jai Swaminarayan!

Jai swaminarayan to all my friends, Abhav - Avgun is poisonous to satsang shreeji maharaj doesn't like a person who takes Abhav - Avgun. If we want to make Mahant swami maharaj happy we should not take Abhav - Avgun. We should keep unity in the family. We should think of others in satsang but we should never take Abhav - Avgun because it is harmful to us in satsang. We should always think good of others. We should always take Gun of others not Avgun . so friends lets stop taking Abhav - Avgun of others and start taking Gun. And if you want to do Irsha then do it. But like naradji. thanks , Jai swaminarayan.

You can go away from bad company and stay with Maharaj and Swami. Read, study, do anything that can make our Guru raji. Abhav-avgun is very bad for all of us. You can watch Guruhari Darshan videos. Do anything that can make you stay with Maharaj, Pramukh Swami Maharaj and Param Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj. Jay Swaminarayan.

Jay Swaminarayan. One step that we can take to avoid abhav avgun is to ignore what other people say or do, and not listen to them. We can also stop the person who is speaking badly about others. We should always see divyabhav in everyone. Jay Swaminarayan

I can stop thinking or speaking bad about others by trying to think that they all have Maharaj in them. I can also try to forget any other incident that had happened to make me not like that person. One other thing that I can do is try and remember that Mahant Swami Maharaj doesn't like and try to not do abhav-avgun.

Jai Swaminarayan, I think that we can stop thinking or speaking bad about others by taking their virtues (Gun Grahan). By taking their virtues it can also benefit us as we can also learn from them and imbibe that virtue of them. If we try thinking and speaking good about others we will earn Swamishri's innermost Rajipo. Jai Swaminarayan

Gun-Grahan Drashti. Maharaj and Swami are very fond of this. In fact, he has stated how much he loves gun-grahan drashti in Vachanamrut Loya 5,"Evi rite santma jene gun-grahan karvano swabhav hoy teno ja satsang ma dradh payo thay chhe." In this way, gun-grahan drashti is looking at the good of others. Other ways include samp, suhradbhav, ekta- bringing one closer to another, and also taking inspiration from our guruhari through guruhari darshan, smruti, antardrashti, etc. Jay Swaminarayan!

Jai Swaminarayan, Maharaj used to say that 'By not taking Abhav-Avgun one does my seva and pleases me. For not taking abhav-avgun we have to constantly think the good of others and see god in them or keep divyabhav.

Jay swaminarayan, First of all, to prevent abhav-avgun, keep one thing in mind: everyone is a form of God. Would we ever say bad things about God? Of course not! Just like that, we shouldn't say bad things about others. Second of all, think why Bhagwan made us. Bhagwan made us so that we can spread satsang all over the world. If we say bad things about others, it means that we need to improve ourselves. If we want to spread satsang, we should be prepared so that we can teach the right things. In conclusion, to prevent abhav-avgun, the best thing is to keep maharaj and swami in mind. Jay swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan Abhav avgun is disliked by our guru Mahant Swami, so always keeping this in mind one should never talk bad about others indeed take the good qualities and forget about the bad habits they have and learn to inculcate the good values in our life.

Jai Swaminarayan, Abhav Avgun is a slow poison that takes us out of Satsnag therefore it is quite necessary that we take steps against thinking and speaking bad about others. Step 1)Seeing everyone as divine as Yogi Bapa has said in the Yogi Gita: "Apna Santo Haribhakto Kevalyamurti janay" Therefore, if we do so we won't see the faults in others and see them as divine there won't be any way we can take Abhav Avgun. Step 2)Seeing the flaws in yourself. Yogibapa has further stated in the Yogi Gita: "Avgun levanu man thai to potato dehno are potana jatino avgun levo. Pan Brahmaswarup ekantik Bhagwanna bhaktano avgun na levo" Here we can comprehend the greatness of our fellow haribhaktas and Yogi Bapa gives us a smart solution that if we ever feel like talking bad about other haribhakats we should first look at the faults in ourselves which will stop us from seeing bad in others. The solutions have been given to us through our scriptures and Gurus. Now we just have to act in accordance to their words.

Jai Swaminarayan. Maharaj and Swami dislike Abhav- avgun and steps I can take is to have that sambandh no vichar and to see divyabhav and good qualities in others. We should think that we are all Swami’s lions and lionesses and we should earn their raajipo by seeing the good in others. We shouldn’t think about who they are but WHOSE they are and by doing that we can see divyabhav in others. Jai Swaminarayan.

Jay Swaminarayan, if you look at the positive in others than you will see all the good things and if you look at the negative things about others than you will only find faults in others. So why waste your time on something that will give nothing but sadness to someone else and a topic to gossip about something which swamishri dislikes a lot. Mahant Swami Maharaj himself has said that looking at others flaws and mistakes does not make us ekantik. So why waste your time if not even our guru likes it.

Instead of gossiping about other people faults I should first look at me. If I want to make maharaj happy then I should only see the good in others not the bad, and this is how I will obtain moksha.Jai Swaminarayan

Jay Swaminarayan, Abhav avgun is a very bad habit because such a nature falls us from the path of moksh. Yogiji Maharaj used to say that if you wish to see faults, see it in your own body, own culture but never see faults in others. If one wants to stop taking abhav avgun, they should always try to see good qualities of others, and if you see other people taking abhav avgun one should immediately move away from there. One should be with such a person who never takes abhav avgun, such as Param Pujya Mahant Swami Maharaj.

Here are the steps I use to not see bad in others. 1.Try not to think about them for a little bit. 2.If you keep thinking about them, then you think good things about them,eg did they help you, were they being nice to someone or did you learn from them. 3.You should never think bad things about someone because they don't deserve to have bad things said or thought about them. Be NICE! jai Swaminarayan!For exam my reading method is continue revision of text books. Every chapter normally I am reading two times initially. Then I am going through spellings and end notes. generally revision time period for me is fortnightly. before the start of exam, I am doing normal revision, some worksheets again but with proper planning, I never feel loaded for preparation.

Jai Swaminarayan, I think some steps we can take to stop thinking or speaking bad about others is to try to put us in their shoes. We don't know what might happen to them outside from where we see them. We should always say to ourselves "Would Bapa do the same".

Mahant Swami Maharaj says that we should see Yogi Bapa in every one so his faults will not be gained by us. Moreover, we should always be in the agna of Mahant Swami Maharaj and take gun (good qualities of others). Jai Swaminarayan!
