1.
The
time will come when you will stabilise
yourself in the avyakt stage and be able to know the feelings within someone's
mind through the signals of the eyes. It
will not be necessary to speak to or hear about it from anyone. Such a time is now going to come. Just as when you come in front of BapDada,
and He knows the thoughts and feelings within your mind without your having to
tell Baba about it, in the same way, you children have to study this final
course. Just as you speak the language
of the mouth, in the same way there is the conversation of the spirit, which is
called a heart-to-heart conversation.
So, a spirit talks to a spirit, but how?
Do spirits converse through the mouth?
When you stabilise yourself in
the spiritual stage, so the spirit will be able to know another spirit easily
and clearly, just as in this world, you know the feelings of one another by
your speaking about them. So for this,
which aspect of dharna is needed? There
is a special need to keep the line of the intellect constantly clear. If
there is any disturbance within your intellect or mind, or if the line is not
clear, you will not be able to understand one another's thoughts and feelings. Because of the line not being clear, there is
a mixture of your own thoughts. This is
why each of you should check whether the line of your intellect is clear. Is there any type of obstacle in your
intellect that is causing distress?
2.
When
the line of the intellect becomes clear, what will that person's stage and
consciousness be? The more the line of
the intellect is clear, that is, the line of effort is clear, so what will be
your consciousness to the same extent?
The future of any aspect would be just as clear as the present. For that person, the present and the future
would be the same. Nowadays, through
science, some things are shown so clearly that you can see things that are very
far away. In the same way, those whose effort is clear will see the things
of the future very close whilst being very far. Nowadays, when people watch television, they
are able to see everything very clearly, so their intellect and vision can see
and know all the images of the television very clearly. There will be no difficulties of making
effort in any aspect. In the same way,
have that experience and recognition of the final stage in yourself, to see how
close you are to the final stage. When the sun is fully risen, you are able
to see everything very clearly; all the darkness and haziness finishes. In the same way, when you have an unbreakable
relationship with the Almighty Authority, you can see everything within
yourself very clearly.
3.
Now,
Baba is free from even that bondage. He
does not exist just for himself, but for all the souls. Just as each of you has the experience of
leaving a body and taking a body, in the same way, do you have the experience
of becoming bodiless, having renounced the consciousness of the body when you
want, and taking the support of the body when you want to perform actions? You now have to increase this
experience. You will have the experience
of that costume being totally separate from the soul that adopts the
costume. You must now have this
experience a lot more. Constantly
remember that you have now almost returned home. You
have taken the support of the body just for the sake of service, but as soon as
service finishes, you can instantly make yourself light. When you return from somewhere having been on
duty, you consider yourself to be very light.
You change your uniform and wear your indoor clothes. In the same way, you have taken the support
of the costume, that is the body, and then as soon as service finishes, you
must try to become light from the burden of those clothes. Who will be able to become detached from the
costume in one second? If there is any
tightness, you will not be able to become detached. When something is totally restricted, it is
difficult to remove it. When it is
loose, it is easily removed. In the same
way, if there isn't any easiness in your
sanskars, you will not be able to experience the stage of being bodiless. You were told what you have to become: easy
and alert. You should not remain so
easy that Maya is easily able to come.
At some times, you have to remain easy and at other times, you have to
remain alert. So you have to remain easy
and alert. Only those who are like this
will be able to maintain this practice.
4.
Now,
if you keep the line of your intellect clear, everything will become
clear. You have this in your exhibition:
you receive an answer when you put the switch on. In the same way, when the line of effort is
clear, as soon as you press the switch of thoughts, it happens practically
also. You will continue to have such an
experience. You simply need the power to
control your thoughts. Whether you call
it the original inspiration through BapDada, or the pure response you receive,
it becomes mixed because there are many waste thoughts. If you have the power to control wasteful
thoughts, you will be able to see that response clearly. In the same way, if the intellect is a translight, it will be able to see the response
of everything clearly and accurately; it will not be mixed. Those who do not have wasteful thoughts can
increase their avyakt stage a lot more.
You should have pure thoughts, but you must also have the power to
control them. There is a majority with
many storms of wasteful thoughts.
5.
Alokik
service takes place only when you fill the lokik with spirituality. What alokik service do you do? You
are doing the service of forging the connection of the soul with the
powerhouse. When a connection has to be
made between two wires, the rubber insulation has to be removed first. In the same way, your first
task is to consider yourself a soul and become detached from the awareness of
the body. And to make others detached
from the consciousness of their bodies. How many main subjects do you have here, and
what are they? There are four main
subjects - knowledge, yoga, dharna and service.
Which is the main subject in that?
Have you accumulated the stock of peace from here? Do you know how you can receive
blessings? The more you become soul conscious, the more blessings you receive even
without asking. You do not receive any
blessings in a physical way. Here,
you receive them automatically. If you
did not have blessings from BapDada, how could you have reached this far? BapDada is giving blessings to the children
at every second. However, those who take
these blessings keep with themselves eternally, only as much as they take. Achcha.
6.
As you begin to
reach your avyakt stage, your speaking will become less. By speaking less, there will be greater
benefit, and then you will do service with that power of yoga. The power of yoga and the power of gyan are
both together. At the moment, service is
being done with the power of gyan, whereas the power of yoga is incognito. However, the more you make the power of yoga
and the power of gyan equal, the more success there will be. Throughout the day, check: To what extent was
there the power of yoga and to what extent was there the power of gyan? And then you will know the difference. When you become busy in service, obstacles
etc. will also be removed. There cannot
be any hindrance when there is determined faith.
7.
BapDada gives
the children three inheritances. What
are they? Happiness, peace and power. The more you claim a right here, the more you
will claim a right to the kingdom there.
You must keep the aim of claiming the full right, because Baba is
complete. Whilst being a couple, do you
remain alone, or do you remain in the combined form? Which is the form of being alone? The soul is alone, is it not? You
come alone, and you return alone. So
whilst playing a part in the combined form, stay in the stage of the soul, that
is, become alone, and then be a spiritual partner. Then there is Baba and the children. The
soul and the Supreme Soul are also a couple.
The soul is called the bride, Sita.
God is the Bridegroom Rama. So
become the image of the spiritual couple, that is all. Not the combined form in the body; the
combined form of bodily beings is now finished.
For many births, you have been the combined form of bodily beings. Now, be the combined form of the soul and the
Supreme Soul. If you keep this form of
being combined in front of you, then that combined form is nothing. The feelings of the body will then be
finished.
8.
When
the question of how you can do it arises, it becomes difficult. Don't
allow weak thoughts to remain in you. If
weak thoughts arise in the mind, finish them there and then and become
powerful. If you still keep trying,
when will you experience the avyakt attraction?
As long as you are trying, you cannot develop the avyakt attraction in
yourself. This language is that of
weakness. The children of Baba the
Almighty Authority cannot say this.
Their thoughts, words and everything else are those of faith. You have to create such a stage. Always check: Is the foundation of your
thoughts powerful? The speciality of
someone who makes intense effort is that his thoughts, words and actions, all
three are equal. If your thoughts are
elevated but your actions weak, then you cannot be called an intense
effort-maker. Both should be equal. Achcha.
9.
Day
by day, the stage of you children will become more and more like that of the
Father. You will also feel as though you
have truly taken the body on loan, that you are guests just in order to perform
actions. Unless you consider yourselves to be guests, you cannot have the stage
of being detached. What is the
speciality of those who stay in a stage of detachment for a long time? Through their words and activity, others will
have the experience of the stage of being beyond. The higher the stage becomes, the more you
will experience being beyond. Whilst
being in a body, you have to reach the stage of being beyond. You
should experience the bodiless one (the soul) being separate from the
body. That is called the complete stage
of the pilgrimage of remembrance, or the practical result of yoga. Whilst speaking, the stage of detachment
should pull you. Whilst listening to
anything, it should be as though you are not hearing it. Others should also have this feeling. Such a stage is called the karmateet
stage. Karmateet means to be free from
the bondage of the body also. You would
be performing actions, but not be creating any karmic account through those
actions; it is as though you are detached, and there will not be any
attachment. The one who is performing actions is separate from the action
itself. Day by day you will continue to
have such an experience. There is no
need to use your intellect a lot when you have reached this stage. As soon as you have a thought, only that
which has to happen takes place.
Everyone has to reach this stage.
Before going to the incorporeal world, you will have to go via the
subtle region. Everyone has to meet
there, and then you will go to your home and then to your own kingdom. Just as there was a gathering in the
corporeal world, so in the same way, the gathering will take place in the
subtle region. That gathering of the
angels is very close. You used to relate
stories of how the angels used to meet together, how the spirits used to
converse with the spirits. You will have
the same experience. You will have the
practical experience of the stories that are related. You are now waiting in anticipation for the
days of that gathering. At present, you
are instruments for service. There is
the experience that you are sitting in the avyakt stage whilst the mind and
body have forgotten everything in the corporeal world. Achcha.
10.
If
someone is not able to continue to move on this path, arrange to have them
married. Their weakness has to be
removed from around you. You have to
become a detached observer and do it out of compulsion: that is just your
responsibility. That is not your desire,
but you are just fulfilling your responsibility. One is to do something because of a desire
and the other is to fulfil your responsibility as an instrument. Not all souls have the part to claim their
birthright at the same time. They will
receive the introduction, and they will even recognise Baba, but the part of
some is now and that of others is later.
Some seeds bear fruit quickly and some a little later. In the same way, here also, each one has a
part at his own time. If you play your
part whilst considering it to be your responsibility, you will not find
yourself dirtied by Maya. Otherwise, you
can be affected by the atmosphere. This
is why you have to play your part considering it to be a responsibility. There is a difference of just the one stroke
(in Sindhi language) between having the responsibility and becoming dirty. Because
of your not being stable in the seed stage, responsibility changes into dirt. Those who are helpers constantly receive
help. There is the experience of how you
receive help from the Father in every task.
11.
The
eyes of each of you is a projector. What
picture can you show the world through this projector? That is the projector of the power of
science, and this is the projector of Godly power. The more powerful the projector is, the more
clearly the picture is visible. In the
same way, the clearer the divine eyes of all of you children are, that is to
say, the more full of spirituality they are, the more pictures will be visible
to many through your eyes. And they will
be just as clearly visible as those images made through a projector are. So you
can show the pictures of BapDada and the corporeal, subtle and incorporeal
worlds of the entire creation. Whosoever comes in front of you can have
all visions through your eyes. The
more powerful the light is, the clearer the picture will be. Do you know how BapDada checks how powerful a
bulb is? Have you checked your bulb to
find out what power it is? Have each of
you checked the power of your own bulb?
Those who think that they know the percentage of their light, of what
type their bulb is, should raise their hand.
On what basis can you recognise how powerful your soul is? (Through the chart.) That is the total aspect. Through which aspect can you recognise
yourself? What is the speciality of
light? Its special virtue is that it
enables you to clearly see something as it really is. You cannot see something as it is in the
dark. So the special virtue of light is
to make something that is unclear, clear.
In this way, this is the method to recognise the percentage of your
light. Firstly, the path of your effort
will be clear, that is, the line will be clearly visible. Secondly, you will also be able to see your
future status. Thirdly, the more
powerful your light is, the more you will be able to show those whom you serve
the easy and clear path. They will be
able to continue with their efforts easily.
They will be able to see their destination easily. The greater the percentage of light, the more
you will be able to see everything clearly.
If the percentage of light is less, you yourself will not be clear in
your own efforts, and those to whom you show the path will not be able to know
their destination easily or clearly. Those whose light is powerful will
themselves not be confused about anything nor will they make others become
confused. So you can see from your
effort and from your service whether the path of those whom you serve is
clear.
12.
This
is why you must increase the percentage of your light. Day by day, the eyes and forehead of each of
you should do service in the way that your projector show does. Anyone who comes in front of you will see
that picture in your eyes. As soon as they look at your eyes, they
will have many visions through the yoga of the intellect. You have to make yourselves such images that
grant visions. But only those who are
constantly stable in the stage of a detached observer are able to become the
images that grant visions. Their eyes
will carry out the task of a projector.
Their forehead will always be visible as sparkling. After Holi,
people create fancy images. They
decorate the images of the deities and light a bulb on their forehead. Why do they create these images? Of which time is it a practical form? Of the present time which later becomes your
memorial. So there should be light
visible on the foreheads of all of you. At the time of destruction, this form of
light will help you a lot. No matter
with what attitude someone comes in front of you, he will not see your body but
will see your sparkling bulb. When you
look at a very bright light, all the other things get hidden. In the same way, the more powerful the light
is of all of you, the more they will not be able to see your body whilst
looking at it. When they do not even see
the body, then the tamoguni vision and attitude will automatically finish. These tests are yet to come. You have to cross all types of situations.
13.
Everyone
does service through their mouth, but the
service of taking someone beyond through your eyes is alokik service. If your eyes always remain cool and
spiritual, then you can take others beyond through your divine eyes in one
second. It takes at least seven days
to serve through the mouth, but you can do service through the eyes in even
seven seconds. Anyone should think that
your eyes reveal the image of BapDada to them.
So these eyes will be a mirror through which they will be able to see
BapDada's image. When they see BapDada,
they will become loving in one second.
It does not take long for this relationship to be forged. So you have to do such unique service. Those
who have the power to pack up their thoughts will also have the power to
accommodate the weaknesses of others. If
you do not have the power to pack up your thoughts, you will not have the power
to accommodate your own weaknesses or those of others. Therefore, by filling yourself with the power of packing up your thoughts, there
will easily be success in every task.
Through success, there will be the attainment of happiness and
enthusiasm.
14.
The
more there are corporeal feelings, the less there will be the attraction. An avyakt stage is created when
there are no attractions to the corporeal.
If there is an attraction to the corporeal, it will distance you from
the avyakt attraction. Therefore, in order to adopt the avyakt
attraction, you have to renounce the attraction to the corporeal. When
you are in an avyakt stage, the corporeal cannot attract you towards
itself.
15.
At
present, you have very little intoxication of being a master almighty authority
and therefore, the practical sparkle of the power of going beyond sound in one
second and coming into sound in one second is not visible on your face. When you reach such a stage, you will come into sound one moment and go
beyond sound in the next. Only when this
practice becomes simple and easy, should you think that perfection has
come. This is the sign of a perfect
stage. All the effort will become
easy. Everything is included in
effort. The pilgrimage of remembrance
and service are both included in effort.
When you experience both to be easy, then you should understand that you
are about to attain the stage of perfection.
Those who have the stage of perfection will make less effort yet attain
greater success.
16.
All
powers will become equal and then we will become master almighty
authorities. You have this much faith in
the Father. You also have an intellect
that has faith, and so you will be victorious.
You have faith in the intellect for the self and the Father, and so that
would be called victory. Victory follows those who have faith in the
intellect. They do not chase victory,
but victory chases them. They even
renounce the thought that they should become victorious. Are you such renunciates who have renounced
everything? To be a renunciate who has renounced everything and a renunciate of all
thoughts; not just the renunciation of all relationships, but also the
renunciation of all thoughts: this is the stage of perfection.
17.
First
you have to listen and then you have to become complete. You have heard so many
points: what is the form of the all these points that you have to become? The
essence or the form of all the points is to become a bindi (a point). The
essence of all points is included in a point. So you have to become the form of
a point. A point is extremely subtle and everything is merged within it.
What is the main effort at present? Your
effort at present is to merge the expansion. Those who know the method of
merging the expansion become equal to BapDada. You were told previously also,
that you have to merge and pack up. Those who know how to pack up also know how
to merge. Which power does a seed have?
That of having the expansion of a tree merged within itself. So what
effort do you have to make now? To
stabilise yourself in the seed stage, that is, to merge your expansion. So
check this. It is easy to create expansion, but has it become easy to merge the
expansion? Nowadays, scientists are also
making effort to merge the expansion. Those with the power of science are
copying all of you who have the power of silence. Whatever effort the shakti
army of silence is making, those with the power of science are making the same
effort. First the shakti army of silence creates an invention, then the
scientists create that invention in their own form. Just as it is being refined
here, in the same way, science is also being refined. Whatever things they
previously used to find impossible, are now being completed. In the same way,
the impossible things are becoming easy and possible here also. Now, the main
effort you have to make is to bring yourself closer to everyone. It should be just as easy to go beyond
sound as it is to come into sound. This is called the stage of being close to
the stage of perfection.
18.
This
group has to learn the yuktis of being fearless and to be able to merge the
expansion in one second in order to be powerful. Unity and stability: how to change many different sanskars into
one pure sanskar has to be learnt in this bhatthi. You must spend less time
on something and also speak less, yet there should be greater success. You have
to teach this method too. You have to listen to something and become the
embodiment of that. It shouldn't be that you listen to a lot and become the
embodiment of that to a lesser extent. You must continue to listen and also
become the embodiment at the same time. You now have to return having become an
image that grants visions, not an image that just speaks. Whosoever sees you
should see you as subtle and holding ornaments. You have a lot of sense, but
what do you have to do now? You have to
remain within the essence of knowledge. You have to apply the sense in essence.
Now, you have to fulfill BapDada's hope in a practical form.
19.
Do
you know how to pack up and to merge? To
pack up and to merge is the work of magic. Magicians show some things by
packing them and some things by merging them. They pack something very big into
something very small. You have to learn this magic. You have to practise this. When you go into expansion, you have to
make effort to merge it there and then. Whenever you see that your intellect
has gone into a lot of expansion, you must practise at that moment: Am I able
to merge all this expansion? Then you
will be able to become equal to the Father.
20.
You
have to become such an image that when you leave this gathering, everyone will
just experience BapDada's words in a practical way. BapDada's sanskars, not your own, should be
visible in everyone's sanskars. After
removing all the sanskars, what sanskars do you have to fill yourself
with? Those of BapDada. So everyone should have a vision that you
have emerged from here having become similar to BapDada. You have to make everyone do this. None of the past sanskars or thoughts should
come in front of you. First of all,
check: Are these BapDada's sanskars? If
they are not BapDada's sanskars, do not even touch those sanskars. You should not touch them with your
intellect, even in thoughts. Just as you
would not touch anything that is criminal, in the same way, if those sanskars
are not the same as BapDada's, do not even touch them. When you keep a discipline in order not to do
something, then no matter what situation comes in front of you, you will not do
that. Instead, you face the situation
because of the aim of what you have to do.
In the same way, you must not touch your sanskars that are not the same
as BapDada's. You must think like this. You have climbed the ladder of going beyond
the body and bodily relations, but now your sanskars should not emerge even in
your intellect. As are your sanskars, so
will be your form. If someone's sanskars
are of easiness and sweetness, those sanskars take the practical form of
them. When your sanskars become the same
as BapDada's, then everyone will see BapDada's form. Exactly
as BapDada is, so you should have the same virtues, the same task, the same
words and the same thoughts identically.
Then it will emerge from everyone's lips: You seem the same. The features may be different, but the character
would be the same. However, the
character should be visible in the features.
BapDada now has this hope in the children.
21.
The
corporeal form (Baba) brought about the complete, perfect stage in a corporeal
form. You were able to see the complete,
perfect stage and the corporeal form separately. In the same way, your corporeal form should
be visible separately. Which virtue was
clearly visible in the corporeal form, through which you were able to see
perfection coming close? Which virtue
was it that on seeing it, everyone used to say that although Baba was in the
corporeal form, there was the experience of him being avyakt? Which virtue was that? (Each one gave his own idea.) The
significance of all aspects is one, however, this stage is called being beyond:
to be beyond even your own body, to be beyond and to be an observer. An example is given of those who become a
detached observer. So a detached
observer gives the proof of being an observer and appears in front of you in
the form of an example. It is one thing to be beyond, even with
your intellect, but you should be beyond even in your sanskars. "These are my sanskars", be beyond
even the consciousness of 'I'. 'I
think that', be beyond this consciousness of 'I', 'I think that'. No, but think that this is BapDada's
shrimat. If, after there is knowledge in
the intellect, there is the consciousness of 'I', that consciousness of 'I'
causes a loss. Firstly, you have to renounce thinking 'I am this body', and secondly
'I think this, I am an enlightened soul, I am wise!' You also have to finish this consciousness of
'I'. Wherever you have been using the
word 'I', you should remember BapDada and wherever you have been using your own
understanding, you should remember shrimat.
Firstly, you have to finish the
consciousness of 'I' and secondly the consciousness of 'mine'. This also makes you come down. You have to finish the consciousness of the
four words: I, mine, you and yours. It
is these four words that have taken you away from perfection. You have to finish the consciousness of these
four words completely.
22.
In
some cases, when someone is about to leave his body, many others come to know
about it in advance. You will also experience the body to be as detached as
though you have adopted it and are making it function. The sign of a close bead coming closer is
that that soul will constantly see in front of him his angelic form and his
future form. He will experience
these in a practical form. He will see
his angelic form of light in front of him, and be aware that he has to become
that; and he will also see his future form.
It will be as though he has now renounced his present form and taken on
that form. When you have this
experience, then you should understand that you are coming close to
perfection. There is the complete form
in one eye and the future form in the other eye. This will be visible as clearly as you
experience your present form. Whilst
sitting, there will be the experience that you are not sitting here, but are sitting
in that perfect form. This body, that is
making effort, will become totally merged and those two forms will emerge: on
the one side, the avyakt form and on the other side, the future form. When you yourselves have this experience,
then others will also have this experience.
You will experience it in the same way that you take off one garment and
put on another. This one will merge and
that one will emerge. You will forget
this one. There is also will power in
this stage.
23.
In
the same way, when something is willed over, after it has been willed, the
experience of the consciousness of that thing being yours is totally finished,
and it is not your responsibility any more.
You receive will power and you also have the experience that you have
already willed everything. Everything
including your thoughts should be willed. It is might to renounce even the awareness of
the body and to will everything, including your thoughts. Then there will be the stage of being equal
to the Father. Being equal and being
complete are the same thing. You now
have to maintain this chart. That chart
is common. Then, even whilst having a
body of the five elements, you will experience being the form of light. You were told of the different meanings of
the word 'light'. Light means lightness, and light also means the form of light; total
lightness as though you have become the form of light and are making the body
work; as though you are the instrument.
When in the avyakt form, you receive help in every aspect.
24.
What
is your stage? Are you seeing the same
things that BapDada is seeing? If you
have the practice of catching thoughts, you will easily be able to become free
from thoughts. You have to create extra
thoughts when you cannot discern someone else's thoughts. But if each of you has the practice of being
able to read someone's thoughts, there will not be too many wasteful thoughts,
and you will also easily be able to stabilise yourself in a stable stage with
one thought, in one second. So, to be able to read someone's thoughts is
also a sign of perfection. The more you
stabilise yourself in avyakt feelings, the more you will be able to understand
the feelings of everyone else. The
reason for not being able to understand the feelings of one another is the lack
of the avyakt feeling. The avyakt stage is a mirror. When you stabilise yourself in the avyakt
stage, you will not then have to make effort but the feelings of anyone will be
clearly visible in the mirror of the avyakt stage. A mirror does not have to make effort to
understand the feelings of anyone. The
more your stage becomes avyakt, the more clear and powerful the mirror will be,
and the more easily and clearly you will be able to understand the feelings of
one another. In order to keep the mirror
of the avyakt stage clean and clear, three things are necessary. Tell Baba about any one of those three
things. (Each one gave his own
ideas.) Today, Baba is seeing the
easiness (also including simplicity and lightness in that), the greatness and
the tolerance of each one. If you have
imbibed any one of these three things accurately, then the mirror is
clear. If all three are missing, stains
of weaknesses will be visible on the mirror.
Therefore, in whatever task you
carry out, check three things: there should be easiness in everything, there
should also be tolerance and it should also be elevated; it should not be
ordinary.
25.
Do
you experience the avyakt stage? When
there is the experience of the avyakt stage, the effect of that lasts for a
long time. The experience of the avyakt
stage is a powerful one. As much as possible, remove yourself from
the corporeal stage and stabilise yourself in the avyakt stage. All thoughts bring success when in the avyakt
stage. Whilst in this stage, there is
less effort and greater attainment, whereas if you make effort whilst being
stable in the corporeal stage, there is greater effort and less attainment. Then, as you progress, there is confusion and
disappointment. Therefore, increase the
experience of all attainments through the avyakt stage.
26.
Are
karmic bondages powerful or are the Godly bondages? If you make the Godly bondages tight, the
karmic bondages will automatically become loose. Bondages
will be cut away by bondages. The more
you tie yourself in the Godly bondages, the more you will become free from karmic
bondages. Make the Godly bondages as
firm as the karmic bondages, then those bondages will be cut away very quickly.
27.
If
you cannot stabilise yourself in the point-form for a long period of time, then
don't waste time in that. You will be able to stabilise yourself in
the form of a point when you first have the practice of pure, positive
thoughts. Remove impure thoughts
with pure, positive thoughts, just as you have to steer the car around if the
brakes fail when an accident is about to happen. The point-form is the brake. If the brake cannot be applied, then turn the
intellect away from waste thoughts and engage it in pure, positive
thoughts. Sometimes it happens that you
don't have to apply a brake to protect yourself, but instead, you have to steer
around. Try not to have any waste thoughts but just to have pure, positive
thoughts throughout the whole day. When
you pass in this subject, you will easily be able to stabilise yourself in the
point-form.
28.
Just
as BapDada came into the corporeal from the avyakt in one second, in the same
way, can the children go from the corporeal into the avyakt in one second? Just as you open your mouth when you wish and
close it when you wish, in the same way, do you think your practice is such
that you can make your intellect work when you wish and make it stop working
when you wish? The organ of the mouth is
gross, and the intellect is much more subtle than that. But, do you have such a practice of
using your intellect in the same way when you want to and not using it when you
don't want to? Do you know this
drill? If you have this practice firmly,
you will be able to make your stage strong. This is the method to make your stage
progress. Many children have the
thought: How can we progress? There can be progress with the right
method. If you do not know the right
method, there will not be progress.
29.
You know how to
go into the expansion of knowledge, but the practice of merging the expansion
of knowledge and becoming the embodiment of knowledge, the seed-form, is
lacking. A lot of time is wasted by
going into the expansion, and even thoughts are wasted. This is why the power that should be
accumulating is not being accumulated.
Today, Baba is telling you what plan you should create for this. Who are the greatest of all in the entire
world? (We Brahmins.) What do the most important, great people do? What methods do the important people of today
adopt through which they achieve success in great tasks? First of all, they save their time. They make their own timetable. The busier they are, the more they keep a
timetable for every hour. If they do not
have a timetable, they will not be able to spend their time in a worthwhile
way. If they don't use their time in a
worthwhile way, there won't be success in their task. This is why the important people of today
make their timetable for every moment.
They note everything in their diary.
Since you Brahmins are the greatest of all, why are you not keeping a
timetable? This is one method. Just
as those people make their timetable from the beginning of the day, in the same
way, each of you should make a timetable at amrit vela of what you have to do
throughout the day. Just as a timetable
for a physical task is created, in the same way, create a timetable for the
progress of the soul. Do you
understand? There is very little
attention paid and checking in this. Now
create a timetable in the same way as those people make plans. "Today, I have to finish these
tasks." In the same way, "Today, I have to have this much
percentage and this much time spent in the avyakt stage." By doing everything according to the time,
you will be able to carry out many tasks in one day. If you do not have a timetable, you will not
be able to carry out many tasks. So keep
a diary for yourself. Just as you have a
timetable for the physical things to be done in one hour, in the same way, note down the tasks for the progress of the
soul. Make a plan. Then, just as you tick off the list of what is
accomplished and what isn't, in the same way, note to what extent the plans
that you made were carried out in a practical form? Think about the reason they were not carried
out in a practical form, and also think of a solution for it, and continue to
move forward. "Today, I will
definitely accomplish this." First
of all, make a promise to yourself in this way.
30.
Make
a timetable that from today you will hold a fast for a particular aspect. Make a promise. Just as those people stay on a fast, in the
same way, you must note down one of your weaknesses every day. Those people also keep a fast of the things
that are harmful to them. So in terms of
effort also, stay on a fast of the
things that are harmful to you. Then
also check them. When people hold a
fast and they are not able to maintain it, they eat something in-between. Here also, some do the same thing because
they have the habit from the path of bhakti.
They make a promise in the morning that they will not do something, and
then as soon as the day begins, that promise is broken. Here also, some make a promise in the morning
and then during the day, say: Such-and-such a situation came up, and so when
this situation finishes, then I will do this.
Now you must finish that sanskar.
Learn how to merge and pack
up. You have to merge your old
sanskars. Make a promise or stay on a
fast for this. Important people have
a programme fixed in advance. You are
the most important of all. So fix your
programme for six months. "I will
definitely accomplish this task. I will
definitely become this." When you
have such faith in the intellect, you will become victorious.
31.
Angels
are never attracted by the earth. They
just come and go. Once their task is
accomplished, they do not stay here any more.
You have taken the support of the
corporeal in order to carry out a task, so as soon as that task is finished,
you should become avyakt in one second.
If you have this practice, you will be called angels. Achcha.
32.
When you have a
clean and honest heart, your desires are fulfilled. The cleaner your heart is, the more
automatically your desires are fulfilled.
Whatever thought you have, because it is clean and clear, it becomes
successful to the same extent. If the rubbish of waste thoughts accumulates,
the thoughts of Maya receive a chance to enter.
In rubbish, germs are created without there having to be any effort
made. In the same way, if there are any
waste thoughts remaining, they give a chance for the germs of waste thoughts to
be created. So you must not have any
waste thoughts in your intellect. Your
time, thoughts and power must not be wasted at all. The reason for not becoming powerful is that
there is wastage. Your old sanskars are
now old, they do not belong to you. You
must not consider that which does not belong to you to be yours. Finish
the old sanskars of the recent past and allow the oldest sanskars of the
deities to emerge. When you do not keep
your original form in front of you, you are not able to finish your habits. Achcha.
33.
People
have visions of three types of light from the trimurti children who belong to
the clan of Trimurti Shiva. Which are
those lights? One is a vision of light through your eyes. You speak of the light of the eyes. The eyes would appear to be as though there
is a large illuminated bulb in each eye.
The second is the light on the forehead and the third is the crown of
light on your head. You now have to try
to give others the vision of all three types of light. Anyone who comes in front of you should see
these eyes as bulbs. They should only
see light everywhere, just as real diamonds sparkle in the darkness. Just as a searchlight projects its beam
in a very good way with a lot of force, in the same way, people will have a
vision of the light on the forehead. And
you already understand about the crown of light on the head. Others should have a vision of the trimurti
light from each of you, only then would it be said that you are angels. The vision of the eyes, the forehead and the
crown on the head will be very clear even in the corporeal form. Whilst
looking at your eyes, people will see only light. Looking at your light, others will also
become light. No matter how much
heaviness there is in their mind or in their stage, as soon as they come here,
they should become light. You now have
to reach such a stage, because others will make their stage like this when they
see your stage is this.
34.
What is the main
method to apply a brake to your thoughts?
Do you know that? Whatever task
you carry out, before you begin that task, think about it first: Is the task
that I am about to carry out the task of BapDada? Am I just an instrument? Just as at the time when a
sacrificial fire is being completed, sacrificial offerings are made, in the
same way, whatever task you carried out and whatever the result was, once you
have completely surrendered it to Baba, you should have no more thoughts about
it. You carried out the task as an
instrument, and as soon as the task was finished, you totally surrendered it to
Baba, and so why should you have any thoughts about it afterwards? When something is put into a fire, no name or
trace of it remains. In the same way,
once it is completed you have to totally surrender everything. Then it is no longer your
responsibility. Whoever you offered it
to becomes responsible for that. So why
should you have any thoughts? When
there is a senior person in a family, then whatever task everyone in the family
carries out, they refer to the senior person and they become free. In the same way, whatever task you carried
out, once you have related the news about it, that is enough. Keeping the avyakt form in front of you, try
this out and see for yourself.
35.
It
is remembered that a world was created
through vision. Through which vision
is a world created, and when is it created?
Why is there the praise of the vision and the world? Why is there not the praise of the
mouth? What is it that you transform
first at the confluence age? What is the
first lesson you are taught? To see one
another with the vision of brotherhood.
The vision of brotherhood means that when you first transform your
vision, everything else also changes.
This is why it is remembered that a world was created through
vision. When there is the vision of brotherhood, it is then that the world
changes. It is only then that you
see this world as an old world. When you see the soul, it is then that you
see this world as old. So the world is
created through vision and the main effort lies in this. If your vision changes, then your stage and
circumstances also change. This is why
there is the praise of the vision and the world. Worldly vision changes into spiritual
vision. Just as when someone is wearing
coloured glasses, the entire world appears to be that colour, in the same way,
when your vision becomes spiritual, then you just see spirits in the entire
world. For how long do you have this
experience of seeing the world with this vision in a natural way? As you were told, when you are wearing red
glasses, you do not have to make any effort, but everything naturally seems
red, in the same way, do you see the
world in a spiritual way with a spiritual vision that is natural? At the moment, this is maintained only
temporarily, but you have to practise it to maintain it for all the time. This is the main effort. By changing your vision, your virtues and
actions automatically change. You then
do not have to change each virtue individually.
You now have to make this effort.
You have now moved forward a great deal.
If you first change yourself, the world will automatically change. So now
create this enthusiasm: Create the world with spiritual vision. The more you remain in this enthusiasm, the
more you will be able to create this enthusiasm in others. Then, just as a needle by itself comes closer
to a magnet, so service will automatically come close to all of you. There will be less effort and greater
success. At present, you make effort for a longer period of time and you
attain success according to your worthiness and capacity. In order to be successful in service, create
this yukti. Is it better that you attain
success in service easily or that you receive fruit through effort? Easy attainment and elevated fruit. So start this plan in a practical way. You were told how to become an example for
anything. That is, when you yourselves
have the stage of being a detached observer. Those who are an example will
remain in the stage of a detached observer.
Those who remain as a detached observer (saakhi) give honey (maakhi,
honey bee-sweetness). The stage of a
detached observer is like that of a bee, that is, of sweetness, which in itself
has an attraction. So now you have
to show a sparkle of that.
36.
Check in which
aspects you are light and in which aspects you are heavy. The more you yourself are light, the lighter
you will be able to make others also.
How can those who are themselves heavy make others light? You have to be easy and light in your relationships
with others, and be easy in your sanskars too.
You have to be easy in giving and taking co-operation too. If there is heaviness in giving and taking
co-operation, then you will not be able to take the benefit of the co-operation
you receive. What will you do now? Everyone has to remember the mantra: I have
to remain easy in every aspect. The easier you remain, the more you can
attain. You will be able to take
co-operation from everyone. Everyone
remains easy with those who are themselves easy. They are easy in giving and also in
taking. Those who remain heavy are heavy
when it comes to giving co-operation too.
So give co-operation and take co-operation. But how?
By being easy; this is the main mantra in order to become complete. Do you wish to become the perfect image, or
does it not matter if there are some weaknesses still remaining? Only
after you have become perfect will you have to bring the body to an end. When you are easy in this way, you will then
be able to bring your body to an end according to your own will. Achcha.
37.
There, in the
subtle region, a lot can be clarified in one second. Here, in your world, it is clarified only
after a lot of speaking. This is the
difference between the corporeal language and the subtle language.
38.
What
aim did Baba keep in order to become karmateet?
In which aspects did he become perfect?
Do you know with how much of an unlimited vision he adopted the word
'perfect'? 'Perfect' is just one word,
but he imbibed it to such an unlimited extent that he became as he is. By having the aim of total surrender he
became perfect. To the extent that he
surrendered, to that extent he became perfect.
But what is the unlimited form of surrender? The more you imbibe this in an unlimited way,
to that extent, you will make your intellect unlimited and become one with a
right to the world. What was that unlimited surrender?
There are four aspects in that too.
Firstly, your every thought should be surrendered. Secondly, every second should be surrendered,
that is, your time should be surrendered.
Thirdly, your actions should be surrendered, and fourthly, your
relationships and wealth should also be surrendered. There also has to be the surrender of all
relationships. Lokik relations are of
course included in that anyway. However,
the relationship between the body and the soul should also be surrendered. Baba surrendered relationships to this extent. Perishable
wealth is not a big thing, but the imperishable wealth, the attainment of
happiness, peace, love and bliss as a birthright was surrendered in the service
of other souls. He felt that peace for
himself lay in the peace of the children.
So he considered it to be peace for him in giving peace to other
souls. This is what it means to surrender
your lokik wealth together with your Godly wealth whilst staying in the stage
of a detached observer. So there is
such a vast, unlimited significance in the word, 'surrender'. Do you understand? Those who imbibe it to such an unlimited
extent become the image of success and the image of perfection. So do
not see the word 'surrender' with the ordinary meaning. It is easy to surrender lokik things, but to
surrender the Godly attainments means to be a great donor. And to have pure thoughts for others happens
numberwise according to one's capacity and worthiness. Those who surrender everything to this extent
are said to be those who are totally surrendered. Have you become such images of perfection,
such images of surrender? All the
consciousness of 'I' should be totally merged.
When something is merged in something else, it becomes the same. To merge means to become the same. So the
more you merge the consciousness of 'I', the more you will become the image of
equality.
39.
What is the stage of a point-form and what is the avyakt
stage? What is the experience of each of them? Because there are two names, there must
definitely be a difference between the experiences of the two. At present, the stage of being stable in the
point-form is not just lacking, but it is almost non-existent. You should also practise this stage. You should be able to take a few minutes
in-between and practise the stage of the point-form, just as on certain days,
everyone maintains silence for three minutes, and even the traffic is stopped. All activities are stopped. When
you carry out any task or when you are talking, you must also stop the traffic
of your thoughts. You must stop the
thoughts of the mind or the activities you are carrying out with your body for
one minute every now and then, and practise this. If you do not practise this, how and when
will you be able to create the powerful stage of the point-form? This is why it is necessary to practise
this. In-between, if you continue to
carry out this practice in a practical way, then the stage of the point-form
that you find difficult today will become as easy as the avyakt stage that the
majority of you find easy today. When
you first started to practise this, you found it difficult to maintain the
avyakt stage whilst being in the corporeal form. Just as it is becoming easy for you to stay
in the avyakt stage and carry out any task, in the same way, the stage of the
point-form will also become easy.
Maharathis should now practise this stage. Do you understand? If you
are not stable in the angelic stage, that is, the avyakt stage, then you will
find it difficult to stabilise yourself in the point-form. This is why you must practise this now. In the
beginning, in order to practise the avyakt stage, you used to sit in solitude
and make your own individual effort. In
the same way, you must make the effort for this final stage every now and then
by making some time for it. This is the
final stage.
40.
Day
by day, service will increase and also the problems will increase. And the speed of thoughts will also increase. At present, you create ten thoughts in one
second and later that speed will be doubled or tripled. Just as nowadays, they count the population
to see how much expansion there is in one day, in the same way, here, the speed
of thoughts is very fast. On the one side, there will be expansion of
your thoughts, and on the other hand, there will be expansion of the evil
spirits, the souls. But for this, you
have to maintain special attention through which you will be able to confront
everything that comes in front of you.
That is, in order to understand clearly whatever happens, you must
remember two words. One is the
difference (antar) and the other is mantra.
Whatever happens, check whether
it is right or not. Is it like that of
BapDada or not? Is it equal to BapDada
or not? So when you check this
difference at every moment, you will be able to apply a not or a dot within a
second. You have to apply a dot, if you
have to do that, you will begin to do that.
So you have to keep not and dot in your awareness too. The difference and the mantra will both take
place in a practical way. If you do not
forget either of them, no problem or evil spirit will be able to oppose you. The problems will be burnt away in one
second. Evil spirits cannot remain in front
of you. So you have to make this
effort. Do you understand?
41.
The more you
have the stage of the point-form, the less the evil spirits or evil sanskars
will attack you. And your shakti form
will liberate such souls. You also have
to do this service. You also have to
liberate the evil spirits, because it is now the end of the final moments, and
so the evil spirits and the evil sanskars will reach their extremity and then
finish. All the rubbish will come out and be burnt
away. So then, how will you be able to confront all these problems if you are not
liberated from your own problems?
42.
Today,
BapDada has come to tie you with the rakhi of the stage of being a detached
observer. If the rakhi of being a detached observer
(saakhi) remains constantly tied, there will be success in service very
quickly. A task that at present takes
one month will not take even one hour.
You have to tie this rakhi of being a detached observer. You tie the rakhi of purity on others. But today, BapDada is tying the rakhi of
being a detached observer on you. The
more you remain a detached observer, the more you will become an image that
grants visions in a practical form.
Because of not being a detached observer to a great extent, you become
an image that grants visions in reality to a less extent. This is why you have to practise this. What practice? To
take support in one moment and to become detached in the next. To increase this practice means to bring time
and perfection close. So what effort do
you have to make now? You have to bring
the time and perfection close.
43.
When your
drishti changes, the shrishti (world) will also change. So to what extent has your drishti
changed? Do you know in what way you
have to change your drishti? You have to
have soul conscious drishti. Has your
drishti become soul conscious, divine and alokik? You
should be able to see whatever you look at, or whoever you look at, with the
form of soul consciousness. Have you
changed your drishti in this way?
When someone has poor vision, he sees double images. In the same way, if your drishti has not
completely changed, you see two things.
The one without a body (the soul, dehi), and the body (deh). Sometimes it is one thing and sometimes it is
another. It is like that, is it
not? Sometimes you see the body and
sometimes you see the bodiless (the soul).
When someone's eyes are all right, he is able to see everything exactly
as it is in its accurate form. In the
same way, when your drishti changes, you are able to see the accurate
form. The accurate form is that of the soul, and not the body. You
should be able to see the accurate form.
From that you can consider your drishti to be all right. You have to pay a lot of attention to your
drishti. If your drishti has changed, it
will never deceive you. People will have
visions through your drishti, and in each one's dristhi, they will see their
accurate form, their real home and the real kingdom. There is so much power in drishti, but only
if your drishti is accurate. So
constantly check yourself: If someone comes in front of you, what vision will
he have through my drishti? Whatever is
in your attitude, that is what many others will see through your drishti. If your attitude is that of body
consciousness, and it is mischievous, that is the kind of visions they will
have through your drishti. The drishti
and attitude of others will also be mischievous; they will not be able to have
accurate visions. Do you understand
this?
44.
According
to the speed of time, your feet should not be on the ground. Which feet?
The intellect, which you refer to as the pilgrimage of remembrance. There is a saying that the angels never place
their feet on the earth. So now, the intellect
will go beyond the attraction of the earth, that is, of nature, and then
nothing can bring it down. Then you will
become those who control nature, not those who are subservient to nature. Just as scientists are now trying to go
beyond the earth, in the same way, with
the power of silence, you can go beyond the attraction of the earth, and take
the support of it whenever you wish.
It should not be that nature makes you subservient whenever it
wishes. So to what extent has your stage
become like this?
45.
If
you keep your mind busy in the appointments at all times, then the waste
thoughts will not take up any time in-between.
When you keep yourself free from an appointment, then the waste thoughts
take up that time, and so you must learn the method to check your time. You
must make your own appointments for what you have to do throughout the whole
day. Then your time will be used in a
worthwhile way. There are four things in
which you have to appoint your mind. 1)
Meeting (milan), 2) Speaking (vernan), 3) Merged in love (magan), 4) to have
love (lagan). A lot of time is taken
up in developing that love. You only
stay in the stage of being merged in love for a short time. Therefore, there are the stages of having
love (lagan), being merged in love (magan), to celebrate a meeting (milan) and
and speaking (vernan). Speaking is
service. Meeting is to have a heart to
heart conversation with Baba. You meet
BapDada, do you not? So fix your time in
these four aspects. If your appointments
for the entire day are fixed every day, then the waste thoughts will not have
any time in-between to disturb you. Because important people are busy, they
cannot give any time or attention to wasteful matters. In the same way, fix
your time in a daily timetable. "I
have to give this much time to this matter, and this much time to that
matter." By fixing your appointments in this way, you will be able to
finish this complaint and you will become complete. Do you understand? Achcha.
46.
Baba
is observing to what extent each of you has become incorporeal and has adopted
the ornaments. Both are necessary. Those who have adopted the ornaments will
never have any arrogance of the body.
This is why, always check: Am I
incorporeal? Have I adopted the
ornaments? This is manmanabhav and
madhyajibhav. The original stage of the
self is called being a master almighty authority. So you have become a master almighty
authority, have you not? When you are in
this stage, you are beyond all external situations. In this stage, you experience the nature of
the self, that is, you experience the feeling of the self in everything, and
the various different types of the old feeling are finished. The nature of the self means to have the
feeling of the soul in the self.
Then the aspects of conflict of nature will be finished and you will
attain all the powers to be able to face.
As long as you have any subtle or
physical desire, you will not be able to develop the power to face. Desires do not allow you to face
anything. Therefore, do you know what is the last perfect stage of the
Brahmins that is remembered? That stage
is described as the stage of being ignorant of even the knowledge of the word
'desire'.
47.
If there is any
arrogance, it makes you become one without any ornaments. Therefore, be egoless and incorporeal and
then you will become one who has adopted the ornaments. Those who stabilise themselves in this stage
and become those who bring benefit to all souls, can become those who claim a
right to the kingdom of the world.
48. If you are not able to stabilise
yourself in the form of a point for a long time, then do not waste time over
it. You
will only be able to stabilise yourself in the form of a point when you first
have the practice of having pure thoughts.
When there is to be an accident, if the brake fails, you have to steer
the car around. The form of a point is
the brake. If the brake fails, turn the
intellect away from waste thoughts and engage it in pure thoughts. Sometimes, in order to save yourself, you
have to turn around and not apply the brakes.
Health of the body is connected
with health of the mind. Practise having
pure thoughts throughout the day and not having any waste thoughts. Those who pass in this stage will be able to
create the stage of the point-form.
Do not waste time in wasteful thoughts.
Let your mind not have love for whatever duty you are carrying out with
your body. For instance, if you engage
your body and mind in a duty for eight hours, then as soon as that duty
finishes, give rest to the mind as well as the body. Then put a lock on the thoughts of your
business. Only when it is absolutely
essential is the lock then opened. You
have to have such a practice. Achcha.
49. BapDada
is seeing two things in each of you: to what extent each of you has become
knowledge-full and powerful. In this,
Baba is also seeing how powerful the catching power of each of you is. The main basis of effort is catching
power. Nowadays, scientists try to catch
sound, but what is it that all of you catch with the power of silence? Just as they try to catch the sound of a long
time in the past, in the same way, what is it that you catch? Can you catch your divine sanskars of five
thousand years ago? Have you imbibed
that much catching power? Those people
are able to catch the sound of others.
But you not only catch your original sanskars, but you also create your
own practical form. Always keep it in
your consciousness that you were that, and that you are now, once again,
becoming that. The more you are able to
catch those sanskars, the more you will be able to become that form. Make
your consciousness powerful, that is, make it elevated and clear. Just as you have a clear experience of your
present form and your present sanskars, in the same way, you should clearly
experience your original form and sanskars.
Do you understand? You need
catching power to that extent. Just as
you have your activity and your task clearly in your consciousness, in the same
way, your original activity should clearly and easily be in your
consciousness. Always have the
determined thought that you were that.
Something of five thousand years ago should be experienced as clearly as
though it is a matter of yesterday. This
is called catching power. You must make
your consciousness that elevated and clear before you return from here. You have come to a bhatthi, have you
not? You should constantly be able to
see your original form and original sanskars in front of you. By
making your consciousness powerful, your attitude and vision will automatically
become powerful.
50.
Daily routine: BapDada is
seeing the rulers of the world of the present and the future, that is, He is
seeing the children in the form of them being the world benefactors and also
the ones who have a right to the kingdom of the world. To the extent that you become a world benefactor,
accordingly you become one who has a right to the kingdom of the world. In order to attain both these rights, you
especially need the power to transform the self. From
amrit vela until the night, use the power of transformation in your activities.
The
first transformation: As soon as you
open your eyes: I am not this body, but I am a soul. This is the thought of
transformation of the beginning of the day.
The timetable for the whole day is based on this first thought. If you do not transform your first thought,
then throughout the whole day, you will not be able to be successful in your
own self-sovereignty or in bringing about world benefit. Use the power of transformation from the
first moment of the day. Just as deity
souls, satopradhan souls, come from the brahm element and enter a part
(incarnate) at the beginning of the world, in the same way, amrit vela is the
first moment of the day, every day.
Therefore, in this first moment of the day, as soon as you wake up, the
first thought you should remember is: I, the Brahmin soul have incarnated in
order to celebrate a meeting with the Father.
This powerful thought will become the basis for elevated thoughts,
elevated words and elevated actions. The
first transformation is: Who am I? So
this foundation is the basis of the power of transformation.
After
this, the second transformation: To whom do I belong? With whom do I have all relationships? From whom do I receive all attainments? First of all, there is the transformation of
the body, and then the transformation of the relationships of the body, and
then on the basis of relationships, there is the transformation of the
attainments. This transformation is
called easy remembrance. So you can
claim all rights from the very beginning on the basis of the power of
transformation. After amrit vela, whilst
carrying out all your physical activities through the body, which
transformation is necessary, through which you can become a constant, easy
yogi? Always have the thought: I am a
living, most elevated idol, and this is a temple. This body is the living temple
of the living idol, and I am decorating the temple. BapDada's most beloved idol is seated in this
temple. And BapDada Himself
remembers the rosary of the virtues of this idol. BapDada Himself praises this idol. This is a special temple of such a special
idol. To the extent that an idol is
valuable, accordingly, on the basis of the idol, the temple also becomes
valuable. So what is the transformation
you have to bring about? Not my body,
but this is the temple of BapDada's valuable idol. You yourself are the idol, and you must
continue to decorate the temple as the trustee of the temple. On the basis of this transforming thought,
the consciousness of 'mine', that is, body consciousness will be
transformed.
After
this, always have the form of your being a Godly student in your
consciousness. What is the special
transforming thought you need for this?
A thought through which, the study of every second, and the dharna of
every invaluable word create an elevated reward for the present and the
future. For this, you constantly need the transforming thought: I am not an
ordinary student, and this is not an ordinary study, but Baba comes from the
far-away land to teach me directly. The
versions of God are my study. The
elevated directions of the One who is doubly elevated are our study, and every
word of this study is one that enables me to earn an income of multi-millions. If you do not imbibe just one word, then you
have not just missed a word, but you have missed out on earning an income of
multi-millions, and on an elevated reward for many births and on attaining an
elevated status. You should have the
transforming thought: God is speaking and I am listening to Him. Baba, in the form of the Teacher, has come for
me. I am a special, beloved
student. This is why Baba has come for
me. Where has He come from? Who has come?
And what is He teaching? Imbibe
these elevated transforming thoughts at the time of class every morning and
then study. This is not an ordinary
class. Do not see the person who is
relating the words to you, but remember whose words they are: keep that One in
front of you. See the incorporeal Father
and the avyakt father in the corporeal form.
So, do you understand what transformation you have to bring about?
Let
us go further. We have studied the
study. What do we have to do now? Now, we come to the part of service. In service, whatever type of service it is, whether of the household, or your
interaction with others, or Godly service, whether it is your household and
your lokik relations, or whether they are relationships on the basis of karmic
bondages, whilst doing service in the household, have the transformative
thought: I am now living a life where I have died alive, that is, lokik karmic
bondages have now finished. Do not
continue to move along whilst considering them to be karmic bondages. You become tied in that bondage by thinking
and saying, 'karmic bondage, karmic bondage'.
But now, because you are living a life where you have died alive, then
according to shrimat, the relationships of lokik karmic bondages become the
basis for relationships for service.
They are not karmic bondages, but relationships for service. In relationships for service, if you imbibe
the knowledge about the various types of souls, and continue to move along
whilst considering them to be relationships for service, then you will not be
troubled by those bondages.
No
matter how sinful a soul may be, how detrimental he may be, do not have
feelings of hatred for the storks. Do not have distaste and do not be
disrespectful, but do service whilst stabilising yourself in the stage of being
a world benefactor, being merciful and having feelings of compassion. Consider them to be relationships for
service. To the extent that you
serve hopeless cases, accordingly, you will claim a right to as many
prizes. You will be remembered as the
famous world benefactors. You will claim
the prize of being a peace-maker. So
whilst in a household, instead of karmic bondages, they are relationships for
service. Have this transformative
thought. But whilst doing service, do
not have any attachment. Sometimes, even
doctors become attached to their patients.
"Relationships for service", means those who have the form of
being a tyaagi (a renunciate) and a tapaswi (one engaged in deep
meditation). The qualifications of a true server are renunciation and tapasya.
In
the same way, when interacting with someone, you do that according to the
directions for the livelihood of the body, but the main basis should be for the
livelihood of the soul. Do not forget the livelihood of the soul
because of the livelihood of the body.
Whilst interacting with everyone, there should be the balance between
the livelihood of the soul and the livelihood of the body. Otherwise, the interaction with others will
become a net of Maya. The more you
spread such a net, the more you will be trapped in it. Whilst increasing your wealth, you should not
forget the method of remembrance. The method of remembrance and the increase
of wealth should both go together. Do
not leave aside the method because of increasing your wealth. This is called the transformation from lokik,
physical karma into the stage of being a karma yogi. You are not those who just perform karma, but
you are karma yogis. Karma means
interaction, and yoga means for the sake of God, that is, you are doing it for
the sake of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. So there should be both: interaction with
others and doing something for the sake of God.
This is called being karma yogis who follow shrimat. What transformation do you have to bring
about whilst interacting with others? I
am not just someone who interacts with others, but one who interacts with
others as well as one who does something for the sake of God, that is, whatever
I am doing, I am doing it for the sake of Godly service.
I am a combined
form of interacting with others and doing it for the sake of God. If you have this transforming thought
constantly in your consciousness, then your mind and body will continue to earn
a double income. You will continue to receive physical wealth
and also continue to accumulate the imperishable wealth through the mind. At one moment, through the one body, you will
be able to earn a double income through the mind and the body. So constantly remember that you are one who
earns a double income. In this Godly
service, constantly think about the mantra of being an instrument, and have the
consciousness of Karanhar (the One who does everything). You must not forget Karavanhar (the One who
gets everything done through others).
Then in service, you will constantly be constructive.
Achcha,
now we move a little further. You come
into connection with many types of people, as well as things and material
comforts. In this also, instead of
having corporeal feelings for people, imbibe feelings for the soul. Imbibe
an attitude that is free from attraction to things and material comforts. The things and material comforts will then
serve as the servants of those who have an attitude free from being
attracted. But they will trap those who
are attracted to such things, like a magnet. Then you will not be able to become free even
if you wish to. Therefore, in connection
with things and material comforts, transform that into feelings of the soul and
an attitude free from being attracted.
Go even further! When you use or
see any beautiful instruments of the old world for temporary happiness, you
become influenced by those instruments.
If your spiritual endeavour (sadhana) is based on the instruments
(sadhan), you should consider it to be like a building built on a foundation of
sand. What will the state of that
be? Whenever there is an upheaval, it
will fluctuate again and again. When it
collapses, it will be destroyed.
Therefore, bring about the transformation of the instruments being
perishable and your spiritual endeavour being imperishable. You cannot have imperishable spiritual
endeavour based on perishable instruments.
The instruments are just to be used for the namesake, but it is your
spiritual endeavour that is the basis of construction. So do not give importance to the instruments,
but instead, give importance to the spiritual endeavour. Always have the consciousness that you are
the embodiment of success, not the embodiment of the instruments. Spiritual endeavour will enable you to attain
success. Do not forget being the
embodiment of success by being attracted to the instruments. Whilst seeing all the lokik things, whilst
listening to all the lokik things and whilst seeing all the lokik scenes, transform the lokik into the alokik, that
is, be the embodiment of knowledge and take the aspects of knowledge from
them. Do not engross yourself in those
things, but go into the depth of the knowledge in them. So do you understand what transformation you
have to bring about?
Achcha,
now go even further. What else now
remains? Now, your sleeping still
remains (sona - to sleep, gold). Sona means to go to sleep in the golden
world. But now, transform your way of
sleeping. Do not sleep on your bed, so
where will you sleep instead? You will
sleep in the lap of Baba's remembrance, in the world of angels. Tour around in your dreams. Transform your dreams, and also transform
your sleeping. Change everything from
the beginning to the end. Do you
understand how you have to use the power of transformation?
