(to the pandavs)
BapDada is seeing four things in each of you: the crown, the throne, the effort and the fortune. He is seeing these four things in each one. What is the crown of the Confluence Age? Do you know?
: Today BapDada has come into the gathering of the children who are seated on the throne and who are also wearing a crown. Only those who are wearing a crown have been invited to this gathering, but each one’s crown is different according to his own capacity. Baba was seeing who is wearing a crown and whether it is a large crown or a small crown, and whether they constantly wear it, or whether they take it off and leave it aside sometimes. Can you discern your effort and your fortune? Can you fully discern yourself? For instance, if you went into the advance party, what would your fortune be according to your present effort? Do you understand that? Do you know your present effort and your fortune? Only when you recognise yourself can you recognise others. It is essential to know this, because a time is coming where there will be a greater need of the power of discrimination. Because you are not able to recognise fully, and because the other person does not receive the method through which his fortune could open, there isn’t so much success in service.
The pandavs who are instruments especially need the power to perceive what is to happen in the future. They also need the power to take decisions. After the power to take decisions there has to be the power to solve problems. Then you will be able to face anything, and after you have faced everything you will attain the success of the revelation of the yagya.
You have been invited here so that you can learn the knowledge of going up and down a ladder. You have caught hold of seniority, but even whilst being a senior, you are not instantly able to come down the ladder and be a junior. It is essential to become a master on one second, and a child in one second. Make your intellect a master and give your ideas to those who are the instruments, and then instantly let your intellect become like that of a child. A child will speak with great force about something, and then he will be totally free from waste thought about the same thing immediately. As your responsibilities increase, it will be essential for you to climb up the ladder and then come down again.
To be humble means to renounce regard for the self. Through renunciation you receive greater fortune and respect. The more you try to seek respect, the more it become a means of losing respect. This is why you must increase the practice of going up and down the ladder, of being master and child. There will be success in this when you have the power to assess situations.
What is the effort to increase the power of discrimination? More than just cleanliness of the heart, you need cleanliness of the intellect. You should have the power to apply a brake to thought. Whatever thoughts you have in the mind, or whatever the intellect judges, both need a powerful brake, and they also need the power to bend. Both these powers are most essential. This is called the power of remembrance, or the angelic power. So if you have the power to apply a brake and to steer, you will not waste the power of the intellect. Energy will not be wasted, instead it will accumulate. The more you accumulate it, the more your powers to discriminate and take decisions will increase. To what extend are you able to apply a brake and steer your mind and intellect? These are the two reasons why there are accidents. Baba is giving this signal especially to the pandavs. Achcha.
Throughout the day you should experience yourself to be a bodiless soul whilst performing actions. You have to be detached from practical matters and then come into action. The more experience you have of this, the more you will stabilise yourself in the point form. Make time for this. All of you are weak in this practice. In fact, it is not difficult to stabilise yourself in the form of a point. Practice becoming detached; to be in the point form is to be detached anyway. It is to be incorporeal and detached. When you stabilise yourself in the stage of being incorporeal and detached, you will have the experience of the point form. Whilst walking and moving around, you will be able to experience the angelic stage. You will be able to remain in the angelic stage whenever you wish. You will then be able to fill yourself with a lot of power with just one second’s experience. And you will also experience the power of applying a brake and steering. To experience the point form is not difficult. It is just thoughts that bring you down. If you have the power to apply a brake to your thoughts, you will be able to remain in the avyakt stage for a longer period. You have to consider yourself a soul and remain in that stage. When you stabilise yourself in your original stage, you will then experience your virtues.
Soul consciousness means remembrance of the Father. When you visit a cool place, then even if you don’t want to, you will experience coolness. In the same way, it is not possible for there not to be Baba’s remembrance in soul consciousness. Just as Bap and Dada are not separate, in the same way a soul conscious intellect that has faith is not separate from Baba’s remembrance. When you stabilise yourself in the point form, you will experience the original virtues of the soul.
Practice doing a lot of work in a short time. As you progress further, the lives of all of you will become very busy, and it will be as if you have very little time. You will experience day and night to be like two hours. Use your time in a worthwhile way. Just as it is not good to waste your energy, neither is it good to waste your time.
The subjects of each of you will be revealed. When your subjects are revealed, your status will also be revealed. Each one’s subjects and bhagats will be revealed. The time will come when you are not able to earn an income for yourself, but you will become busy for others: you will earn your income through serving others. Now take the maximum benefit from the little time (for yourself) that remains. Difficulties will adopt a larger form day by day. Your stage needs to be very strong.
Atchcha, baba has told you about the crown of responsibility. So what is the throne? The throne of humility: when you sit on it you will be able to do all of your work accurately. The shakti army was given the throne of remaining constant, the pandavs were given the throne of being humble. Be seated on the throne, and by wearing the crown of further responsibility, create your future status. Do not come down from this throne.
Look at the whole day, what are the four things that are always with you? Baba is asking you about common physical things. Firstly, you have a chair with you; secondly, a pen; thirdly, a file; and fourthly, all the running about that you do. Change all of these four things from lokik into alokik. When you sit on a chair, remember the throne. When you pick up a pen, remember the lotus flower. When you see the file, remember your account. And the running around is going up and down the ladder.
What is the speciality of the jewels in this gathering. One is that you are all loving. And secondly, the majority of you have a surrendered intellect. Thirdly, you remain ready for service at all time: you are ever-ready. Now put the jewels of these specialities onto the crown of responsibility you have received. These virtues are the jewels of the crown: they are the beauty which you must keep eternally. Whatever actions you perform, seeing you, others will do the same. Remember the slogan “Give love to the young ones and regard to the old ones”. You have to give love and you then receive regard. Do not ever forget this. This gathering is like gold already, but further beauty is always added to gold.
Now and then, Madhuban should be the place for a gathering. With the advice of the instrument sisters, there will be gathe
rings from time to time. There should be newness at the exhibitions. When people understand whatever you have to tell them without asking you any questions, they think they have found an easy path. The topics should also be attractive. It can be the introduction of the Supreme Soul.
You have to bring the people who run away from you closer whether they are religious people or any other kinds of people. You must follow up the exhibitions. You must maintain contact with them. You must call them from time to time. You must maintain a good relationship with them so that they have the feeling of a family. Only then will there be success in service. Achcha
