Do you experience the specialities of the Father in yourself? Just as you speak of the four subjects of your study, so also, the Father has four main specialities. Do you know them? According to the four subjects, the four specialitie sare: knowledgefull, powerful, serviceable and blissful. Do you experience these four specialities in yourself? Is there a lot of difference or very little difference in the percentage of these four subjects?

You are those who follow the Father, are you not? Are all the four subjects in your life in a natural way, or is there fluctuation in a natural way? To what percentage is it natural? Is it natural up to fourteen celestial degrees? If your speed of effort to reach the complete stage is not fast, then would you be able to make yourself complete according tothe time? Whatever temporary stage you have created up to now for the task, according to BapDada's directions andthat of your own dictates, is a different matter. However, according to your last stage, are you moving forward withthat speed? Are you content with your speed? Are you creating plans for this also, or, are you only creating plans forservice?

Just as you create plans for service, so too, are you also creating plans to remain content with your speed? Yourspeed will only become fast according to the practical attainments and success you receive. When you are contentwith your speed, then you should create powerful plans. When you see that there isn't so much success in service,then do you think of any new plans? Do you plough the earth in different ways to make it right? When you yourselfare not able to do this, then you put it right with the help of the gathering, do you not? Is it just as clear in this aspect? Do you have that much love for your own self? How much concern do you have? What plans do you create? Haveyou created a new plan in order to increase your speed? Do you sit in solitude and create a plan to increase thepilgrimage of remembrance? Those who are to especially come onto the field of service have to set their everyactivity and create a plan to experience something, do they not? In the same way, you have to set a plan for yourprogress at amrit vela. To which subject or which weakness will you pay special attention and increase yourpercentage in that subject? According to your courage, each of you should keep this plan in your intellect, as to whatspecial aspect you will put into a practical form today and to what percentage you will make effort in that aspect. Setthis programme in your daily timetable, and at night, check to what extent you have put the aspect you had set foryourself into a practical form and to what percentage you were able to imbibe it. If you were not able to do that, whatwas the reason? And, if you were able to do it, by using which special yukti were you able to experience progresswithin yourself? You should bring both these results in front of you, and if you find that you didn't attain as muchsuccess in your aim for today or that you were not able to put the plans you had created into a practical form, then youshould not stop there.

If, when you are carrying out a physical task, due to some reason, it is unfinished, you try to complete it, do you not?In the same way, you should keep the aim of accomplishing this daily task. By paying special attention to one thing,you receive extra power. You will have the awareness whenever you carry out any task, and you will then become anembodiment of remembrance. In your external studies also, when you are making a lesson firm, you have to learn itonce, twice, thrice or even four times; you do not stop until you have truly made that lesson firm. In the same way,constantly keep the aim of finishing each aspect. There mustn't be any carelessness in this. You think aboutsomething, create a plan, and when a situation comes in front of you, when you are doing it practically, then whenthere is the determination in your thinking that you have to do it, then according to that determination, you will bringperfection close to you.

At the present time, you have the plans, but what is lacking in them? Determination! You do not have determinedthoughts. You have the weakness of not paying special attention to show this. The maharathis, that is, the elevatedserviceable souls, should also pay attention to selfservice as well as service.

One is selfservice and the other is service for world benefit. Are you able to maintain an accurate balance betweenthe two? Now put your elevated thoughts into a practical form in this way. Don't just think about it! You tell peopleto make sure that the time does not pass by whilst they are just thinking about it. In the same way, together withcreating plans for your progress, you must also simultaneously put them into a practical form with determinedthoughts. If you put one speciality in front of yourself every day and put those plans into practice, then within a fewdays, you should experience a great difference within yourself.

Have you created any special plans for your own progress in this special land of blessings? Or, do you simply havemeetings for service and go back home? All of you have the nighttime for your own progress. When you put specialservice plans into practice, do you not become the conquerors of sleep during those days? If you were to renouncesleep for your own progress, then would you not be able to find the time? What else do you have to do here? Just asyou make those plans, in the same way, you should put other special plans for your own progress into practice. Here,whatever means of progress you adopt in a practical way, you will receive the lift of cooperation from all directions.Since you know the cause and also its solution, are you not able to develop the qualifications of the aim that youkeep?

You have become knowledgefull, but what is still lacking is that you are not able to do something in a practical way.Because of not being powerful, you are not able to put the knowledge into a practical form. What do you have to doin order to become powerful? Create practical plans. If, even now, you are still getting ready, then when would yourprogeny be ready? When would your subjects be ready? This time, demonstrate something in a practical way. Eachof you has many good experiences in your effort. By your listening to the exchange of experiences of each one, itwill become a very good means of progress, and you will take power into yourself. Do you ever have such classes?Achcha.

Do you consider yourself to be free from obstacles? When you, yourself, become free from obstacles, you will beable to save others from the different types of obstacles. If you, yourself, have some obstacle in your mind, you arenot able to make anyone else free from obstacles, that is, obstacleproof. The time that is now coming is such that theentire haystack will be set on fire, and in order to protect everyone from fire, some main things are essential. Whenthere is a fire somewhere, what is needed first of all, in order to save yourself from that fire? When the fire ofdestruction is set ablaze in all four directions, what will be the first duty of you elevated souls? To give them thedonation of peace, that is, the water of coolness. What is done after putting water on a fire? Whatever is needed byanyone is given. Someone may want some rest; someone may want a destination; whatever they need, that need oftheirs is fulfilled. What needs will you have to fulfill? Do you know this? At that time, each one will need adifferent power: someone will need the power to tolerate; someone will need the power to pack up; someone willneed the power to recognise the self; someone will need the power to make a decision; someone will need thedestination of mukti. Those souls will need different powers at that time. At that time, the power to make peacelesssouls peaceful with the power to recognise the Father will also be essential. You have to accumulate that at this time.Otherwise, at that time, how will you be able to protect them from the blazing fire? How will you be able to givethem the donation of life?

You have to see about making these preparations in advance.

You keep a stock of six months supply, knowing what things you will need during the next six months; you check thisand replenish the stock. Do you also check this stock in the same way? You will have to give the donation of powerto all the souls of the entire world. Have you accumulated such a stock that you are able to make yourself continue tomove along on the basis of this power, and also able to give this power to others so that no one is deprived? If youhave not accumulated this power and even one soul is left deprived, then who would carry the burden of that? Thosewho are the instruments. Constantly check the stock of your every power. Those who have accumulated the stock ofall the powers are remembered as the main ones.

The stars are also numberwise. Those who have accumulated a stock will be sparkling like lucky stars and will bevisible amidst the souls of the world. So, you have to check whether you have a stock of all the powers. Maharathispay attention to their thoughts in advance. The maharathis' way of checking is completely different. Because ofhaving the power of yoga, their thoughts, words and actions are automatically yuktiyukt. This has now become anatural form. This is the maharathis' form of checking. Out of all the powers, how much of each power have youaccumulated? Out of all the stock you have accumulated, how many souls can you bring benefit to? Just as you havethe duty of checking and accumulating the physical stock, in the same way, you also have the responsibility ofaccumulating all the powers. Those who are allrounders in this accumulate all types of stock according to the need.At amrit vela, make yourself walk on the path of attention, and the train will move along the rails very well. It willthen be impossible for there to be fluctuation. So now, you have to check to accumulate this stock. You childrenhave responsibility for the whole world, not just for Bharat. Every action of the maharathis should be more elevated.More elevated than whose? Than that of the cavalry and infantry. Achcha.
