Avyakt BapDada 31st December 1995

Filed under: Summaries — themurli @ 1:00 am

Today, the one who makes the world sparkle like a real diamond – the one who makes his children like diamonds – the Father who establishes the new world together with the new age – is seeing his children who are about to become diamonds. So many diamonds are sparkling in front of BapDada, in the corporeal form, and in al directions. The soul, the diamond sparkling in the centre of each one’s forehead, appears to be so beautiful! It is such a lovely scene of souls, the diamonds sparkling in front of Baba, and the beautiful scene of all the diamonds in all directions
sparkling together! It is a gathering of diamonds – even though they are number-wise, they are still sparkling. Are you seeing the diamonds, or are you seeing the bodies? For 63 births you have been seeing the bodies, but can you now see the sparkling diamond that is hidden within?

This is the Diamond Jubilee, a diamond year for you to celebrate. May there be a gulub jamun in your mouth. To celebrate means to become – so will you become a diamond throughout the year, or will there sometimes be a little flaw in the diamond? Today it is a double celebration: the New Year and the Diamond Jubilee. Will you become diamonds for the whole year? Will you see others as diamonds? Even if a soul is black as coal, completely impure, will you see coal or will you see a diamond? As soon as your vision falls on that soul his darkness will reduce. So, have functions, give invitations, awaken others – you have to do all this anyway, and you are doing it – but every day’s function is to become a diamond, to see others as diamonds, and to make them into diamonds.

No matter what happens, do not allow any flaw in your diamond. If you are influenced by any obstacle, or by anyone’s nature, then there will be a flaw. Obstacles will come, and you will destroy them. How can you be victorious without an enemy? You are such powerful diamonds that flaws will not influence you. Is this possible? Some flaw will remain, will it not?

This year, BapDada wishes to se everyone as walking , moving angels. Many say that they try to look at the soul, but as the body is big while the soul is a tiny point, they can only see the body. Yes, the soul is a tiny point, and BapDada agrees that the point may slip away, but the angelic form is still in the shape of the physical form of the body – it is not in the form of a point. An angel means one with a body of light. SIxty years of establishment have now been completed, and all of you have a lot of love for Shiv Baba and Brahma Baba. The meaning of love is to become the same, and Brahma Baba has the form of an angel, so perform every action whilst being stable in the angelic form. It is possible to perform actions in the angelic form. You had love for the corporeal body for many births, so even though you wish to forget it, you are unable to do so. So Baba says – O.K., since you have the habit of seeing the body, it doesn’t matter – now simply look at the body of light. You remember a body easily, and an angel is also a bodily form.

Father Shiva is instrumental for the establishment, but Brahma Baba was THE instrument. You don’t call yourselves Shiv Kumars or Shiv Kumaris do you? You are Brahma Kumars and Brahma Kumaris. So you are celebrating the jubilee of the task of establishment by Brahma Baba. Will you bring gifts? Will you bring a rose, and say that this is sufficient? Someone may bring an elephant, someone may bring a horse, but these gifts are just for entertainment. This entertainment is good – everyone is happy to see them – here, a horse is dancing, there a doll is dancing – everyone is happy to see the toys. You may bring them, but what gift would father Brahma love? That you become like angels. The gift that the father would like is the walking, moving, angelic form. In your angelic form, no type of obstacle should influence you. Your thoughts, attitude, and vision, should all become double light So, are you ready to give this gift? Just be careful, because all this is being recorded. In order to bring about the golden world, you will become angels. Just a diamonds sparkle, in the same way your angelic form will sparkle. Continue to practice this well.

What awareness should you have as soon as you wake up at amrit vela? “I am an angel – I wish to become this”. If you pass fully, Brahma Baba will merge you in his arms, every day at amrit vela. You will feel that you are swinging in super-sensuous happiness in Brahma Baba’s arms. You will receive a big hug from him. Just as they show a picture of Krishna, where a storm came, and the flood water overflowed, then a snake became a canopy of protection

Those who are celebrating their Diamond Jubilee, raise their hands! You did yoga an tapasya for 14 years, and how many obstacles came in the way? Did anything happen to you? So, BapDada became your canopy of protection. So many big things came your way – the whole world, the leaders, the rulers, the gurus, all became anti, and you Brahma Kumaris remained so firm. You even experienced the “beggary” life. At the time of tapasya, you also witnessed different obstacles – there were guns as well as swords – all sort of things came in front of you – but there was always the canopy of protection. Was any damage done? The people of the world left everything behind, and ran away during the upheaval. What happened at the time of the partition of Bharat? Everyone ran away, and your tennis court was filled with so many things that it became full. They had to leave the things they loved, because of fear. At that time, the Sindhi community was against you – they insulted you, but they also gave you their belongings and begged you to use whatever beautiful things they had. For the people of the world it was upheaval, whereas the Brahma Kumaris used to get a whole bullock-cart of vegetables for five rupees. All those vegetables for just five rupees! You used to eat those vegetables with so much pleasure. So the people of the world were afraid, and you were dancing.

You saw practically how both Bap and Dada carried out the task of establishment as your canopy of protection with such safety. Now you can experience this also – you first! Whatever you want, to whatever extent you want, you can have the practical experience of Brahma Baba’s love, and the canopy of protection in this year of the diamond jubilee. This year has this blessing and easy attainment. You will not have to make a lot of effort – you get tired of making effort. You will become an angel. To move and walk in the angelic form is to become a diamond, a flawless and invaluable diamond, one which sparkles brightly in the light, and emanates rays of many colours. When you become real diamonds, when you become angels, the eight powers will be visible from your angelic form. As you walk and move, others will experience these rays of power. Some will feel the power of tolerance form you, others will fell the power of decision making – some will have one feeling, others will have another feeling. The more you practice this, the more others will get the feeling. Will all of you give this gift?

So today, Brahma Baba especially gave a lot of love and congratulations to all the children. No matter how many of you there are, whether you are 400,000 or 1.4 million, Brahma Baba’s arms are so big that all of you can merge in his arms at the same time. This is why, on the path of bhakti, they show the huge-form image of God in which everyone is merged. So, all of you are merged in Brahma Baba’s arms no matter what happens. Just as a little child goes and hides in his mother’s or father’s arms, so you should do the same. You are still children are you not? Or have you grown up? In front of the Father, someone who is a hundred years old is still a little child. So, no matter what happens to you, just go and merge in Brahma Baba’s arms – that is all. This is easy, isn’t it?

You are sitting here in the old year, but are celebrating the new year. How will you bid farewell to the old year? Will you j
ust sing songs, dance, and have fun? The year is finishing – it is taking its leave from you – it will come back after 5000 years, and not before that. Generally you give a farewell gift to whoever takes leave from you, so what will you give? Your old things – your weaknesses? BapDada has seen that you give your weaknesses, but you then take them back. Look – the year doesn’t return – it is very wise – it doesn’t come back for 5000 years. So why do you take back the old things? You say “we let go of them but they don’t let go of us”. If a thorn came at you, flying through the air, would you keep it or would you throw it away? Would you keep it as a decoration in the cupboard? No – you would throw it away and would not want to see it again. So why do you take this back? Does BapDada tell you to take it back – do you have this shrimat? Bid farewell. If you let go, you will become free.

Don’t allow your faith to fluctuate. You say “so what if it happened? It will happen, because the 2000 years have not yet ended. Everything will be all right by 2000”. This is carelessness in faith. BapDada has not given you the date 2000. So do not keep waiting for the year 2000 – let the new world be ready before that time.

Why do you forget you are a soul? You begin something with good thoughts, but whilst working, the thought of the soul merges. You mind and intellect become very busy in your task. Your hands have to function anyway, but you also engage your mind and intellect, and make them busy as well. If not body consciousness, this is action consciousness. If something happened at that time what would the result be? Being action conscious is not the same as being soul conscious. So revise your consciousness again and again, until you become naturally soul conscious. Check – “what have I accumulated?”. At least accumulate enough to go into the Golden Age. The sun dynasty souls will take the first period of happiness, and those of the moon dynasty will receive the left-overs later on.

BapDada checked everyone’s chart. Totally, 50% of the children have been seeing others, and have been careless. In some cases, even very good children become careless. BapDada is amused on seeing how if one person stumbles, the other also becomes careless and experiences the same thing. Is this being sensible? The repentance for being careless is very very severe. BapDada sees everything – how you follow others in going down. BapDada feels a lot of mercy – the moments of repentance will be so difficult. So, in this old year, bid farewell from your heart to the wave of carelessness, and the wave of looking at others.

It has been seen that the older ones have greater carelessness. The initial force and enthusiasm do not last long. There is carelessness in the study, also – you feel you have heard and understood everything. Just think about it – if you had understood everything, BapDada would have finished the education – you would have finished the study. Bid farewell to this carelessness for good. Do not look at others, but look at the Father. Look at father Brahma.

To all the real sparkling diamonds in all directions – to those who make themselves and others into real diamonds, with faith and determined thoughts – to the elevated souls who stabilise themselves in the double-light angelic form, the same as BapDada – to the conquerors of Maya, and so the conquerors of the fortune of the world, who remain busy in remembrance and service – to such confluence-aged diamonds, love, remembrance, and namaste from BapDada.

Double greetings and congratulations, for the New Year and for the Diamond Jubilee. Constantly have the aim for this year to remember both your forms – the double-light angel, and the real, flawless, invaluable, diamond. Become a diamond and make others into diamonds. Diamond good night and good morning.

Avyakt BapDada 22nd December 1995

Filed under: Summaries — themurli @ 1:00 am

Today, BapDada, the ocean of love, is seeing the souls who are the embodiment of love for him. Godly love is merged in each one’s heart. This Godly love is attained in just this one birth – you received love from deity souls and ordinary souls for 83 births. Just think about it and remember it. Go through the entire kalpa. You are the spinners of the discus of self realisation, are you not? So, did you go around the entire kalpa in one second? Did you? You didn’t. It is only in this birth at the Confluence Age that your receive Godly love. So you now know the difference between love from souls, and love from God – there is so much difference between the two. Where did love from ordinary souls take you? What did it make you attain? And where does God’s love take you? To you sweet home and your sweet kingdom. Through the love of human beings you lost the fortune of the kingdom, and through God’s love you receive the fortune of the kingdom in this birth.

You are moving along not on the basis of the future, but on direct Godly attainment at this time. Compared to the present, the future is nothing. You sing the song of what there will be and what there won’t be in heaven, but nothing is lacking in the treasure store of the Brahmins. When you have all the attainments, and they are all imperishable, not temporary, then you will be constantly content.

: Today, BapDada toured around many centres and sub-centres, not in the foreign lands, but in this land. He saw both the servers and the service places, and checked each server to see how content they are whilst serving. What did Baba see? Everyone’s body is old anyway, whether they are young or old. In fact, the younger ones are sometimes weaker than the old ones. Even if their illness is serious, the feeling of being ill, or the thought “I am weak, I am ill” increases the illness. You become doubly ill – both body and mind – and instead of being soul conscious you become illness conscious. The majority are settling their accounts – half are doubly ill and half are ill in a single way – the majority have a pain in their leg or a pain in their back. Then sometimes there isn’t any pain, but because of unhappiness they make excuses: “I have a back-ache”. How can you check this? The doctors cannot tell if you have a back-ache or not. Many servers like this were seen. This applies to householders too – all of you are servers.

Nowadays, do not think that it is a big thing to take medicine: at the present time the most powerful fruit of the iron age is medicine. Look, they are all so colourful. This is the last fruit of the iron age, and you should eat it with love. When you eat medicine with reluctance, out of compulsion, it will remind you of your illness. But if you eat it with the consciousness of it putting strength into your body, and bringing you happiness, then it will not remind you of your illness, and you will be all right in two or three days. Nowadays there are many new fashions – today there is this therapy, and tomorrow there will be that therapy – and so this is the most powerful fruit of the iron age. So don’t be afraid, and don’t be medicine-consious or illness-conscious when taking your medicine. Of course there will be illness of the body – that is nothing new – but don’t ever be afraid of any illness. When it comes, give it some fruit, and bid it farewell.

What did Baba see about the mind? The good news is that, though 25% may be moving along under compulsion, the majority of servers have a lot of love for Baba and a lot of enthusiasm for service. You pay a lot of attention to sitting in remembrance, to progressing, and doing service. But though you desire to remain set on the seat of remembrance very well, you only remain set for a short time, and then you start fidgeting. Just like little children start to fidget of you make them sit on a seat for a long time, so do you, if your mind is not under control and in order. You progress and do service, but sometimes you are set, and sometimes you become upset. This is because you lack the power of stability and the power of determination. Your intentions are good, and you make very good plans, but whilst performing actions, or even whilst just sitting still, your power of determination reduces, and your mind and intellect become engaged in other things around you. Sometimes, because you are not busy in any work, waste thoughts become the greatest work, and that attracts you towards itself. Because the power of determination is scattered, the mind and intellect fluctuate.

Baba saw to what extent yo carried out the work that he gave to all of you. If you definitely become free from all these things by the Diamond Jubilee, you will then be liberated in life. Each of you has shown very good courage and enthusiasm, whether you are foreigners or Bharatwasis. Very few have written that they need more time. Baba saw that everyone has enthusiasm to do something in the Diamond Jubilee. To the extent that you have the zeal and enthusiasm to make yourself into a diamond, to that extent you also make very fast plans for service in the Diamond Jubilee. BapDada is happy that you have made fast plans. But do not then say that the burden of service was too much and so there was some fluctuation. BapDada does not want this. Service that disturbs you or others is not service – it is selfishness. Fluctuation happens because of one or another selfish motive – when either your own selfishness, or that of others, is not fulfilled, you become upset. All of you should become detached and loving: detached from selfishness, and loving in your relationships with everyone. Until you have this aim, your thought of becoming a diamond and celebrating the Diamond Jubilee will not be fulfilled. Do not just remember half of it – you have to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee having become a diamond. Become a diamond, and then celebrate – this is the double aim – both should be together.

Baba has spoken half of what he saw on his tour – he will relate the other half at some other time. Many centres were very beautifully decorated – some were very simple, some were very royal, some were moderate. Many feel that everything should be very royal, so that if any VIP comes, he should feel that the centre is very good. However, Brahmin discipline from the beginning is that everything should be moderate – neither too simple nor too royal. You saw how father Brahma lived in a very simple way. However, you have facilities. Even then, when you carry out a task, let it be moderate – no one should say “what have you put up as decoration?”, and no one should say “you already have your kingdom now”.

Achcha, many double foreigners have come. Raise your hands, double foreigners. Many have come.The double foreigners are the double beauty of the task of establishment. BapDada knows that you have come here with so much effort and so much accuracy – if you didn’t have so much love, it would difficult to reach here. BapDada hears that the value of money has gone down, and yet every year he sees that many more foreigners have come – so this is courage. A group from Russia has also come – those from Russia raise your hands! How could you afford the ticket? Their stories are very good and worth hearing – stories of how they accumulate their ticket money. All of this will happen – it is only paper – it is just paper – whether you call it a dollar or a pound, it is still just paper. So how long will the paper last? Gold has value, diamonds have value, but what about paper? The value of money has to go down.

In the beginning you had it printed in the papers that Om Mandli was the richest in the world. You didn’t have any means of earning. One or two had surrendered themselves with father Brahma, and it was printed in the papers that you were the richest in the world. And so now, when there is physical upheaval in all directions, you will not have to print it in the papers, but the journalists will come to you and write it by themselves. They will show on TV that the Brahma Kumaris are the
richest in the world, because, no matter what happens, your faces will be sparkling. You may not have any chapatis to eat during the day, but yet your faces will be sparkling. There will be sorrow in all directions, and you will be dancing in happiness. This is known as “death to the prey, and happiness for the hunter”.

This is why BapDada said today: the speciality of true Brahmins, those with an elevated aim, is contentment. Even if someone is insulting you, your face should not have any waves of sorrow, you should just remain content. Those who are insulting you will then become tired. If you speak or think or show discontentment for even one second, you have failed. “I tolerated so much, I tolerated it for one hour, and then the gas was released from the balloon” – so do not become gas balloons. What else do you need? You found the Father and you found everything – this is the song that you sing, isn’t it? It should not be that you start laughing in front of the person, so that he becomes even more angry. Contentment means a spiritual smile – not an external smile, but a spiritual smile. So be constantly content. Do you understand? Achcha.

To all the souls in all directions who are the embodiment of love for BapDada – to those who free themselves from discontentment, and who are intense effort-makers – to the fortunate souls who, with the balance of remembrance and service, constantly attain success in service – to all those who stay in the enthusiasm of revealing the Father – to those who write their good news to the Father, and who maintain enthusiasm for their own service – to such loving souls who are close to the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.

Avyakt BapDada 13th December 1995

Filed under: Summaries — themurli @ 1:00 am

Today, together with all of you children here, children in all four directions are in their subtle forms in front of BapDada. Baba is seeing the double gathering – the physical and the subtle gatherings. Both gatherings are so huge. Baba is happy as he sees all the children in two special forms. Each child is an ancestor of all human souls, the foundation of the entire tree, the roots of the tree. And Brahmin souls are the first creation of the highest on high Father. Just as God is the highest on high, you are the greatest of all ancestors. Do you maintain this faith and intoxication, of knowing that you are the ancestors?

All of you are the Father’s children – to be a child means to belong to the Father, to be his child, and so to be safe from Maya. It is said “there are many ways to be freed from a vicious circle”. You are not going to be trapped by Maya’s vicious circle are you? Is there any spinning? Are you safe from that? Once you have learnt the art of removing yourself from the spinning, there is no question of being trapped.

You know Maya very well, don’t you? Or do you become ignorant at times? Then you say that you didn’t realise that it was Maya. Nowadays the fashion is to put on a different face: one minute they will be one thing, and the next minute they will be something else. Maya has a very good huge shop. She adopts whatever form she wants at any time, and if you get trapped in that, knowingly or unknowingly, it will take you a very long time to extricate yourself from that.

Just think how short the Confluence Age is – to waste one second of that is to waste one year. Whatever you want to become, there is such a short time to become this for the entire kalpa – there is such a huge difference between 60 years and 5000 years. O.K. – it doesn’t matter exactly how much more time there is, but at least it s not n the region of thousands of years.

You may claim the kingdom in satyug, or become part of the royal family, as not everyone will get the throne of the kingdom of the world. O.K., Lakshmi and Narayan the first will be seated on the throne, but their family also receive just as much love and regard – so if you become part of the royal family of the first kingdom, that is also like the first number. Otherwise, not all of you would receive the throne even until the silver age. However, all of you have the aim of being world sovereigns, do you not? Or will you become a king of one of the states there? Some receive the throne, and some become part of the royal family. There is deep significance in this also.

The elevated souls who will be seated on the throne are those who, at the Confluence Age, constantly and naturally remain seated on the heart-throne of the Father, not just sometimes, but from the beginning until the end, even in their dreams and thoughts – those who maintain their vow of purity, even in their dreams – who claim good marks in all four subjects, and pass with honour. Only those who, from the beginning, have done everything that the Father likes, can claim the throne. Only those who are loved by everyone in the Brahmin family, who co-operate with everyone, and receive regard from the heart of everyone in the Brahmin family – only those who have won such regard will claim the throne. If you are lacking in these aspects in one way or another, then you may become part of the royal family, but number-wise. You can come in the first number, the eight, or in the silver age. If you want to be seated on the throne, check yourself in these aspects.

Sometimes Maya becomes cleverer than the children – she instantly adopts a form according to the time. Baba gets to hear of everyone. The children say that one person is wrong and the other one is right. Both sides might be missing something. But even if you consider yourself to be absolutely right, and even if the other one is absolutely wrong, then even though you are right, then according to the time and atmosphere, you may have to accommodate something within yourself. You may have to die – you may have to step away. But you say “is it always I that has to bow down in every situation? Am I here dying for others, and others are hear for enjoying themselves? I always have to die – it is very difficult to die in this way”. You have died a living death, and that is easy. You have become a Brahma Kumar or a Brahma Kumari, and so you have died alive. But to die and die again and again in this way is very difficult, isn’t it?The young ones say that they have to die a lot, and the older ones say that they have to listen to a lot. Who should die – should one die or should both die? If both die then the game is finished. This dying is not dying – it is to live for all time. People say that you cannot go to heaven without dying, don’t they? You don’t go to heaven through that dying, but through this dying you claim a right to heaven.

When you become afraid, thinking that you will have to die, then little things become huge. Although there may not be any thieves or thugs around, if you have the fear that they may be around, then your heartbeat will fluctuate. The dying is not a big thing, but your fear makes it huge. So don’t use the word “die” – this makes you afraid – but it is about bringing transformation with great happiness. It is not dying, but claiming a good number in the subject of dharna. Do not use such words – speak auspicious words.

Do not be afraid in having to tolerate something wrong. Who gave you the order to tolerate? Did the one who told lies give you this order? Very many children do tolerate, but there is a difference in tolerating out of compulsion, and tolerating out of love. It is Baba’s direction to be tolerant, and so to accept that direction should be a matter of happiness, not compulsion. Since you are tolerating, then tolerate with happiness. Imagine the father is in front of you, rather than the person you are tolerating.

Baba has seen many times that there are wasteful words spoken jokingly throughout the day. Is such fun-making a discipline in your Brahmin life? It is not written anywhere. Have you ever read anywhere that you can make fun? Have fun, but let it be accurate in gyan and yoga. Otherwise what you regard as fun will spoil someone else’s stage. So is that fun, or causing someone sorrow?

So everyone is an ancestor, and you are the greatest of all worship-worthy souls – no one else is worshipped as you are throughout the kalpa. But you are worship-worthy number-wise – some are worshipped accurately according to the system, while others are just worshipped in namesake. So, when you sit in yoga, is it just namesake, sleeping sometimes, having yoga sometimes, having a few waste thoughts, and a few good thoughts? Once the white light is switched on, the job is finished. Many also have dharna just for namesake – when any circumstance arises, they say “we will see about it later”. Such souls will be worshipped in namesake.

Just see: they create hundreds of thousands of saligrams, and bathe them with a hose-pipe, and the pundits apply tilaks with a little bowl of tilak paste (they just sprinkle it over the saligrams). So what is this? This is worship according to namesake.

All of you are worship-worthy, but how you are worshipped is number-wise. For some, their every action is worshipped. Even when brushing their teeth it is as though a vision is being given.When you go to Mathura they even give you a view of the idols having their teeth brushed. So do not become one who does everything according to namesake, otherwise you will be worshipped accordingly.

What do the teachers think? Since you have a big name you have to perform a big task. The greater you are, the more responsibility you have.

If there is any desire in your mind, it will not allow you to become good. Either fulfill your desire, or become good – it is in your hands. Desires are like walking in the sun – your shadow goes ahead of you, and if you try to catch hold of it, can you do it? And when you t
urn back, where does the shadow go? It follows you. So, desires are something that attract you to themselves and make you cry, whereas, when you let go of desires, they come following you.

Those who beg can never become complete. You beg a lot in a royal way – for temporary name and regard – that your name should be listed with the special souls – that you should be counted amongst the senior brothers or sisters – or that you should be given a chance. Whilst you are a beggar, you cannot become complete with the treasures of happiness. To chase after your desires, or the things that you ask for, is like chasing a mirage. Keep yourself safe from this.

It is not a bad thing to remain a junior. The young ones are equal to God, because they have claimed a number ahead in BapDada’s heart. Do temporary desires make you laugh or cry? They make you cry don’t they? It is Ravan’s order for you to be made to cry. But you belong to the Father, and so would the Father make you laugh or cry?

Don’t use wasteful words, and don’t speak loudly. Don’t say “my voice is like that”. How can you conquer Maya if you can’t even conquer your own voice? Don’t speak wasteful words or words which disturb others. And don’t speak too many words – if you can do something by just speaking four words, then don’t speak twelve or fifteen. You continue to speak so many words – if BapDada were to record a cassette and play it to you, even you would laugh at it. Be economical in this – have value for your words. You have a slogan: speak less and speak softly. To speak loudly is disservice – those who pass by think you are quarreling. Sometiems you say things like “this one is mad – this one is senseless” – for Brahmins to speak such words is like forecasting the truth – in fact, you are cursing them. Do not curse anyone – give happiness. Speak accurate words, useful words, not wasteful words. You do not realise the value of your own words. Do not speak bad words – speak auspicious words.

So todays lesson from Baba is: liberate yourself from wasteful words and words that disturb others. Then you will receive a lot of help in becoming an avyakt angel. Don’t look at others – look at your own self

To the ancestor souls from all directions who constantly have the intoxication and faith of being the ancestor souls – to the karma yogi souls who perform every action according to shrimat – lots and lots of love, remembrances, and namaste, from BapDada. Double namaste to the double foreigners.

(to Dadiji)
There will be complications, yet there will be something god in the complications. The world is like an ocean and the steamer of Brahmins is moving through that world – it is going beyond. So, now and again there will be high waves, and opposing waves. Even when they do come, you will still reach your destination. It is fixed. In-between, the waves will show their own games. You are observing the games, sitting as a detached observer. You remain safe, and enjoy yourself. However, if you get involved in the situations and consider them to be real, then you will become trapped in the whole group. Then it will be difficult to extricate yourself from them. You judge rightly, and so change the curtain – the wrong has to be finished for all time, and the right has to move forward. However, if you change the curtain, the same curtain should not come up again. If you get involved in many situations, then it takes many months to overcome them. Now you have to become even more powerful in discriminating and resolving problems. Since service is increasing, the situations will also increase. Many wonder why new things are happening, but time moves forwards, and your stage of effort keeps in changing. So, continue to observe the games as a detached observer. Apply a full stop, and move forward systematically. Just continue to do this. You are carefree anyway.

Avyakt BapDada 4th December 1995

Filed under: Summaries — themurli @ 1:00 am

Today, BapDada was seeing the new children from this land and abroad, whether they have come in their corporeal or angelic forms. BapDada was seeing the new ones, and seeing the faith of them all. Faith is the foundation of perfection within this Brahmin life – if faith is strong, perfection will be easily and quickly reached. BapDada was seeing that children have a variety of faith.

Accurate faith is: I belong to the Father, the Supreme Soul, and I recognise, accept, and consider myself to be a soul, and I know the Father as he is. This is accurate faith.

The second number faith is to experience peace for a short time, through yoga and the powerful atmosphere of the place. Or there is the influence of the Brahmin family – the spiritual love of the Brahmin family, and the life of purity. You enjoy the company: in contrast to the atmosphere of the world, the company is good, the knowledge is good, the family is good, and the atmosphere is good. And so you continues to move along, on the foundation of enjoying all of this. This is the second number faith – the first number is to have accurate faith.

The third number is based on the extent to which you protect yourself from the sorrowful atmosphere of worldly relations, and spend that time at the centre – to that extent you remove yourself from sorrow, and experience peace. You would not go into the depths of knowledge, but sometimes go to the centre to attain peace.

When thirsty people receive even one drop of water, they experience that to be something great. In the same way you have a lot of intoxication at first, but if your faith is of the second or third variety, then the happiness and force of the initial period gradually changes.

This season many new ones have come – it is good that you have been given this chance. BapDada is happy to see the new children, and that they have once again reached their own family. But check that your foundation of faith is strong. If your faith is accurate you should not find it difficult to imbibe the main subject of purity. If impurity makes you fluctuate, even in your dreams, then understand that your foundation of accurate faith is weak. The original religion of the soul is purity. Impurity is an external religion. When you have the faith of your original religion, no other religion can make you fluctuate.

When the Father, the Almighty Authority is with you, impurity cannot come. But it does come – so where does it come from? Thieves have their special gates, their own secret entrances. So do you have a secret gate hidden somewhere – check this – where does Maya come from? Check that Maya has not created a secret entrance somewhere. These entrances are made by weak sanskars or nature – no matter how much you try to close such a gate of weakness, it still reopens. Maya knows every gate of weakness and can find her way through it. While moving along, you have impure thoughts, or even speak such words, or perform such actions. So a gate is open somewhere, and this is why Maya comes. What kind of company is this?

Why does weakness remain? Take for instance the vice of greed. Greed doesn’t just exist in terms of food and drink. Many think they are not attracted to clothes, food, or the place they are living in, and that they are happy with what they receive. However, as they move forward, Maya brings greed in a royal or subtle form. Even good serviceable souls might ask ask themselves why the teacher never mentions their name, or never gives them praise. This is royal greed. Or if they have got a name for themselves, they think “I am something – only I am doing this – only I can do this”. This is arrogance. These are royal forms of the vices. If one vice is there in a royal form, its other four companions will also be there in a hidden form. So when you say you don’t have the intoxication that you initially experienced, be aware that Maya has entered through the thief gate.

Teachers want their centres to be good – it doesn’t matter what their clothes are like, but their centres should be a comfortable place to live in. They feel should have good service companions, good students, and a full Baba’s box. If a good student goes away, their heart starts to beat faster, and they think “what shall I do now – he was a good helper but he has gone away”. Was your helper the student or the Father? This royal form of Maya tries to shake your foundation. If you have the faith that the Almighty Authority is with you, then he will make someone or another an instrument to help you.

Do not have the desire to be given an opportunity in service. If you are asked to come onto the stage, then do it with happiness, but to want this is another royal form of begging. Even the Dadis and Didis do not recognise everyone – they only put forward those who come to the front. Some come onto the stage because they speak sweetly and with great clarity, or have good catching power, and they relate examples form here and there, and so their name is glorified. If you are asked “who do you want?” or “who should come”, you will ask for these ones, even if they are weak in yoga. The final result is not based on this. The final result is not based on giving lectures, or creating students or centres. How many souls have you made worthy? The final number will be based on how many you gave happiness to, and how powerful you yourself remained.

The main thing is to make your faith strong in an accurate way. You say you are a soul, and that the Father is the Almighty Authority, but this should be visible in your practical actions. If you are being shaken by Maya, then who will accept your Father to be the Almighty Authority? Whether you are new ones or older ones, put your foundation of faith into practical use, and use it at the right time. Do not let your mind fluctuate. Do not let your stage fluctuate. When something comes, finish it from a distance instantly. Do not become warriors now. Many are not constant yogis, but are warriors at times, battling. What do you call yourselves – warriors or yogis? You call yourselves easy yogis.

A knowledgeable and yogi soul will constantly have a clean and clear intellect, and will never be deceived. A yogi would not say “I don’t know” – his intellect would always remain clear. The sign of being the embodiment of dharna is being constantly double-light, even in a mela (fair) or jhamela (chaos). And the sign of a serviceable soul is to constantly have the feelings of being a humble instrument. So check all of these within yourself. All of you say your are Godly students in all four subjects – so these signs should be visible.

So what will the new ones do? You have to make your faith even stronger, or you will move along for two or three years and then return to the old world. And those who return to the old world cannot settle there either. They belong neither to this world or that world. So make your foundation very strong. Experience the Almighty Authority Father to be with you. If you experience this one thing, you will pass in everything.People have the intoxication of being in the company of a Prime Minister or a Minister, but this one is the Almighty Authority. Achcha.

The centres should be free from obstacles. If there is any complication over which the teacher is making effort, and yet the atmosphere remains the same, is that service? Or is that a jhamela? Did you become a Brahma Kumar or Kumari for this jhamela? If you want a jhamela, there are many places in the world for this. But to become a Brahma Kumar or Kumari means to celebrate a mela (meeting), not to create a jhamela. If you create a jhamela, don’t call yourself a brahmin, but call yourself a warrior. Do not spoil the Brahmin name. If you create a jhamela, you are a warrior, not a Brahmin.

Each of you has to become free from creating a jhamela in your mind, words, actions, relationships, and connections. There should be no jhamela. Check this every day. Even waste thoughts are a jhamela – maybe not with othe
rs, but in your own mind. Do not think about others, do not look at others, but free yourself from any jhamela. The Father has told you to raise your anchor away from the old world, so have you raised it, or are you still anchored? Do not remain in the darkness of ignorance.

Should BapDada tell a little of what is in his heart? BapDada sometimes wonders whether the children will really become completely free. This type of thought in BapDada is not right is it? The father must have faith in the children. But sometimes he has a slight doubt. The Diamond Jubilee begins in one month, in January. Will you become free in one month? How much more time do you need? Raise your hands if you need more time. Achcha. Those who raised their hands, stand up! At least you are honest. Achcha – these ones need time – take their photograph! They will be given some more time – do not be afraid – those who want to stand up, you can do so now. Because you are being truthful, it will happen very quickly. If all of you were to become free, then a few others would become free also by holding onto your tail. Achcha – is this lesson firm?

All the youth, raise your hands! The majority of new ones are youth – you are a matter of great pride for this institution. All of you youth should perform such wonders that the Father is visible through the activity and transformation of each one of you. You have to make yourself a divine mirror. From your face, others should be able to see an angel, or an embodiment of divine virtues. So become a mirror, will you not?

Householders raise your hands! There are many. BapDada always compares the householders with lotus flowers. So, are you sometimes affected by a water drop? You are not sometimes influenced by any mud are you? The householders have to make the entire old world, and the souls of the world, into a lotus pond. A lotus looks very beautiful in the middle of a pond. So, make this world into the greatest lotus pond, so that wherever people look they see only lotus flowers. Remember firmly that you are lotus flowers, detached and loved by the Father. Achcha.

To the elevated, most fortunate souls in all directions, who constantly make the Bestower of Fortune belong to them – to the worthy children who constantly listen to BapDada’s shrimat, and put it into practice – to all those children who become free from jhamela, and who celebrate a meeting with God: BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
