Avyakt BapDada 11th July 1971

What would you call today’s Gathering? Is it a gathering of Gujurat? You do not consider yourselves to be those of Gujarat do you? Just as the Father is the Master of the Unlimited, in the same way - wherever you may be an instrument for - you are still world benefactors. Do you constantly have the feeling of bringing benefit to the world in your visions and attitude - that is, in your consciousness? Or do you have the feeling of bringing benefit to Gujurat? Whilst living in Gujurat, you still have the feeling of bringing benefit to the world, do you not?

You are on unlimited service, are you not? This is just a duty which you are given, which you are fulfilling as instruments. However, what intoxication do you have? You say that you are world benefactors - that it is your duty to bring about world transformation. Whatever service you do - or whatever facilities for service you create - the words you use for that are for the world. You are those who are renewing the world. The world is being transformed.

A sound may be created in one place, but it spreads everywhere. Although the sound may be made in just one place, it still spreads everywhere. So, in order to become world benefactors, two main dharnas are essential - through which you can become benefactors whilst living in the limited. If you do not have these dharnas, then, neither your sound nor your vision reach the unlimited world.

What are the two dhamas needed in order to become world benefactors? On the basis of what two dharnas are you carrying out the task of bringing benefit to the world? You definitely receive the instant fruit of the pure feeling you have for world benefit. You receive the fruit of your feelings even on the path of devotion. but that is for a temporary period, whereas here it is for all time. So, what two main dharnas are needed for the attainment of instant fruit?

There cannot be progress for the self - or for service - without having any dharna. You are doing that, and you have to do that. There aren’t even the words “I will do it”. You have to do it.

The two main dharnas are: spiritual intoxication, and mercy. If you have both spiritual intoxication and mercy, simultaneously and to the same extent, then - by having a balance of both of these qualities - you create a stage of spirituality. This is called “spirituality”, or “a spiritual stage”.

You should have full intoxication, and full mercy. At present you leave aside intoxication, and simply have mercy; or you leave aside mercy, and simply have spiritual intoxication. This is why you are lacking in the stage of spirituality which would be created through being equal in both of these qualities.

Therefore, before you carry out any task - or before you speak any words - check whether you have intoxication and mercy to an equal extent. By having both to an equal extent, you will be able to maintain your own self-respect, and you will also receive respect from all souls. If you leave aside self-respect, and have a desire to receive regard, then you do not receive success. But if you renounce the desire to receive respect, and stabilise yourself in the stage of self-respect, then respect follows you like a shadow.

Just as devotees run around so much behind their deities and goddesses out of blind faith, in the same way, all souls will run behind the souls who are stabilised in their stage of self-respect in the living form, in order to give them regard. Have you seen the running around of the devotees? In the non-living images of the memorials of all of you, artists portray these main dharnas: on the one hand, they show the spiritual intoxication of the Shaktis with full force, and together with that they also show their mercy. They portray both these feelings in the same image. Why is this created? Because you became embodiments of spiritual intoxication and mercy in a practical way. Therefore, they portray these main dhamas even in the non-living images.

All of you are now on service, and the instant fruit of service is based on these two main dharnas. You definitely do have to become merciful, but on what basis and when? This has to be seen. You definitely do have to have spiritual intoxication, but how and in what way do you have to reveal it? This too has to be seen.

Spiritual intoxication does not become visible through speaking about it, or through trying to show it. Spiritual intoxication reveals itself through your eyes and your features. If you speak about spiritual intoxication, it changes and become bossiness. You must not show bossiness, but must stay in your intoxication.

Bossiness is said to be the progeny of ego and anger. This is why you must not show bossiness, but should stay in spiritual intoxication. The more you stay in spiritual intoxication as well being merciful, the more your bossiness will finish. No matter what type of soul someone may be - even if that soul shows bossiness - when you have your own intoxication and are merciful, then that soul will no longer be bossy.

It shouldn’t be that you say that the circumstances were such, or that that person spoke such words that you had to do this.. or that you will have to do this.. or that this will continue to happen because you have not yet become complete. There shouldn’t be these words or this language in this gathering. Because, you are instruments for service, and therefore this gathering is called that of those who are master knowledge-full, serviceable, and successful.

Those who are successful do not make excuses. Instead, they transform excuses into solutions. They do not put excuses in front of them. Can souls who are master knowledge-full and successful not be successful over excuses? Those who are master knowledge-full and successful will change excuses into solutions, with the power of their knowledge, and the excuses will then finish.

Those who are instruments have to pay special attention to their every thought, because everyone’s vision is on those souls who are instruments. If you souls who are the instruments make excuses, then what reply would others who are moving forward give when they see you? “We cannot come because of this reason.. we cannot move forward because of this reason”. If you yourselves make excuses, then how would you solve the excuses of others?

People now know everything. Just as you are becoming knowledge-full day by day here, in the same way, people of the world are becoming knowledge-full with the power and methods of science. These people are able to check your thoughts from your forehead, your eyes, and your face. Just as you are being filled with the power of knowledge here, in the same way, the power of science is no less there. There is the force of both. If something is lacking in those who are instruments, then it cannot be hidden.

Therefore, you instrument souls must pay that much special attention to your thoughts, words, and deeds. If you do not payattention, then lines of tension become visible on your face. People can tell from your line of fortune what kind of fortune you can create for yourself. So, if you pay less attention, lines of tension then become visible on your face. Those who have full knowledge of Maya know this; they are no less either. Because of being careless, you people are also sometimes not able to recognise yourselves. However, at present, those people are cleverer than you in this respect, because this is their task. This is why those who are instruments have to take on this responsibility.

If something seems difficult, then something is definitely lacking. You lack something in your faith in the self. When you have 100% faith in the Father, then - even if you are alone but have faith in the intellect, even if there are the souls of the entire world on the other side - you do not fluctuate in that. In the same way, no matter who tries to make you fluctuate - whether it is souls of the divine family, the Godly family, or the worldly family - your intellect should not lack faith in the self.

Therefore, together with intoxication, you must also have mercy. There shouldn’t just be intoxication, but there must also be mercy. You have faith in the intellect, and by having the feeling of bringing benefit, your vision and attitude both change. No matter how much an angry person opposes you - or how much someone insults you or defames you when you have the feeling of bringing benefit to every soul. Bossiness will change into mercy. Then what will the result be? Will they be able to make you fluctuate?

The pure feeling of bringing benefit will result in the transformation of their sanskars. This definitely happens. But some seeds give fruit instantly, whereas others do not give fruit instantly

- it takes time. So, you must not become impatient of the fruit does not emerge: not all fruits emerge instantly. Some seeds only bear fruit when there is natural rain - they do not bear fruit just by being watered. This is also fixed in the drama.

You are sowing imperishable seeds: some will show instant fruit, whereas the fruit of others will emerge through natural calamities, or by a change in a scene of the drama. The natural environment and atmosphere will enable that seed to bear fruit. The seed will not be destroyed: this is a guarantee. Since the seed is imperishable, it is not possible that it will fail to bear fruit. However, some come close, whereas others come later, and so how could they come now? They will bear fruit later.

Therefore, whenever you are doing service, do not see or think that whatever you have done has been wasted. The fruits will be visible number-wise, according to the time.

So this is a group of those who are successful, knowledge-full, and serviceable. This is your stamp. Constantly continue to look at this trade mark of yours. The stamp of this trimurti has been applied, has it not? By keeping this in your consciousness, you transform every step you take in service into an income of multi-millions(padam) .

Check whether you have accumulated an income of multi-millions through every thought: “Have I accumulated at every second through every thought, every word, and every deed?” If not, then for whom is there the saying: “there is an income of multi-millions at every step”? A lotus flower is still called a “padam”. So, by moving along like a lotus flower (padam) , you will be able to earn an income of multi-millions (padam) at every step and in every thought. Not even one thought should be without an income. Now it is time to pay such attention. Not even one step should now be taken without an income being earned.

This is a group of those who are instruments. You have to become those who wear crowns. The ore you adopt the crown of your own responsibility, the more you will be able to adopt a crown of responsibility for others. Everyone’s vision is mainly on those of you who are instrument teachers. You are examples in front of them. This is why you people have a greater responsibility. You are like mirrors in front of them. With the mirror of the stage of your knowledge, you enable them to have a vision of their form. So, the more powerful that mirror is, the clearer the vision that is received becomes. So they will be able to have a clear, powerful memory of that.

So, each of you should be such a mirror, that whoever comes in front of you should have a vision of themselves of such clarity that they are not ever able to forget it - just as you do not forget your own body having had a vision of it. Since your body always maintains imperishable awareness, you must grant such visions that they are never able to forget that.

What are the main dharnas needed to become a powerful mirror? The more you offer yourself, the more powerful the mirror will become. You have already offered yourself anyway, but whatever thoughts you have - or whatever steps you take - first offer them to the Father. Just as, when you offer bhog, you offer it to the Father and so it is filled with power, in the same way, offer every thought and every step to the Father. Whatever you do and whatever you think, there should be remembrance of the Father - that is there should be remembrance of Baba’s task. The more you have the sanskar of offering everything, the more powerful the mirror will become.

Create every though as an instrument, because to be an instrument means to offer it first. Those who are humble bow down. The more you bow down in your sanskars and in your thoughts, the more the world will bow down to you. To bow down means to make others bow down. Bow down even your sanskars. You should not have the thought: “at least others should bow down in front of me”, or “if I bow down then everyone else will also bow down”. Only when the true servers bow down in front of everyone will they be able to do service.

Young ones are even more loved, and therefore you should consider yourselves to be the special long-lost-and-now-found children. You are loved by all. Although people might tell the senior ones off, the younger ones will get away with anything. However, you must not allow any weakness in yourself. You must definitely have the aim of going ahead of everyone. Even whilst

moving forward, you must not stop giving regard to those who make you move forward. If you give regard to those who make you move forward, then they will also give you regard. Whatever you do, others who see what you do will do the same.

“Hands” are those who have a broad, unlimited intellect. They look at all aspects: in what there is benefit and in what there is a loss. Are all of you those who have broad, unlimited intellects, and are trikaldarshi and trinetri? Whatever actions you perform, check the consequences and then perform that action. Then you will never say: “I don’t know how this happened”. It is when there is a lack of checking that this happens. “I did not wish it, but it happened” are not the words of those who are trikaldarshi. How is it possible that someone who is a master almighty authority wishes to do something, and yet is unable to do it? Now, finish this language.

You are Shaktis, are you not? The actions and thoughts of Shaktis are equal. If the thoughts are one thing, and the actions are something else, then it means that you lack power. Achcha.
