Karma is the mirror that reflects the soul.
Today, Baba, the Almighty Authority, is pleased to see His Shakti Army. To what extent has each of you master almighty souls imbibed all powers within yourself? You know all the main powers very well and you have created your own picture on the basis of those. This picture is a sign of the living form. It is the indication of your becoming elevated and great. When each action is elevated and great, it proves that you use the powers, that is, your actions are the picture. Whether souls are weak or powerful, they are recognized from their actions. When they are full of all powers and the complete embodiment of power, they are recognized through their actions, because they have to come into connection with people and have to interact in situations. This is why there are the terms, “field of action” (karma shetra), relationships through actions (karma sambandh), physical senses (karma-indriya – organs with which actions are performed), suffering of karma (karma bhog) and yoga whilst in action (karma yoga). Therefore, the speciality of this physical world is action. Just as the speciality of the incorporeal world is to be beyond action, that is, to be detached from action, so too, the corporeal world means action. If the actions are elevated, then the reward is also elevated. When karma is corrupt, there is the reward of sorrow. However, the basis of both is karma. Your karma is the mirror that reflects the soul. Through the mirror of karma you can recognize your form of power. If no power is revealed through action, then, no matter how much someone says that he is a master almighty authority, if that hasn’t been revealed through his action, even though he is living on the field of action, then would anyone believe him? For instance, although someone may claim to be a very clever warrior and very clever in battling, if he is unable to battle with an enemy on the battlefield and is defeated, would anyone believe that he is a clever warrior? In the same way, someone may intellectually consider himself to be an embodiment of power, but if at the time of an adverse situation or when coming into connection with others, if at the time when he needs a particular power, he is unable to use that particular power, would anyone believe that he is an embodiment of power? Simply to understand with your intellect is like just sitting at home and considering yourself to be very clever. However, if you don’t show that form at that time, if you are unable to use the power you need at that time, if you remember it after the time has passed, then would you be called an embodiment of power? The stage of being elevated in action is needed. You should be able to use the power according to the time. Therefore, check yourself throughout your whole day’s activity to see to what extent you have become a master almighty authority.
Which special power makes you victorious at the right time and in which power are you weak, and thereby repeatedly defeated? Some children know the powers they are weak in, and they even speak of them, but in an ordinary way, whenever there is a dharna-yukt gathering or in an atmosphere of similar effort-makers. The majority try to hide their weakness from others. Some relate their weakness at that time, but they don’t have as much recognition of the seed of that weakness. They speak about it superficially. They speak extensively of the external form, but they do not come to the seed. Therefore, what is the result? They trim the branches of that weakness, and for a short time they thereby feel as though that weakness has finished. However, because the seed is still there, because it receives the water of various situations, the branches of that same weakness start to grow again. Nowadays, illnesses in the world are not cured permanently because doctors don’t know the seed of the illness. This is why the illness is suppressed, but isn’t completely cured. Similarly, here too, you must finish the seed by knowing the seed. Some of you even know the seed, but, because of carelessness, you say, “Yes, it will happen at some time.” “It won’t be finished in just one go.” “It definitely takes time!” They try to become very clever in this way. At the time when they should be powerful they are knowledge-full. However, knowledge is a power, but they don’t use that knowledge as a form of power. They just use it in the form of a point. However, each point of knowledge is a weapon. They don’t use it in the form of a weapon. Therefore, understand the seed and don’t allow anything due to carelessness to be lacking and thereby stop you from becoming complete and perfect. If, after understanding the seed, you experience yourself to have the power to know the seed but not the power to burn that seed, then you can take help from the many elevated souls who are embodiment of intense yoga (jwala swarup). Because weak souls are unable to have a direct connection with the Father or take correction from the Father, they must take co-operation from the second number elevated souls and have themselves verified. By having yourself verified, you will automatically be purified. So do you understand what you have to check and how?
Firstly, don’t hide anything. Secondly, don’t ignore anything whilst knowing it; don’t just make do. When you just make do, you also cry out. So, today, BapDada was looking at the power of the Shakti Army. Now use the powers you have attained because it is your actions that give your introduction to all the souls of the world. It is through your actions that they will easily come to know you. Actions are more gross than thoughts, which are subtle energy. Souls of today are able to recognise the physical form very quickly. Generally, subtle energy is much more elevated than physical. However, it is very difficult now for people to catch subtle vibrations. Through the power of your actions they will continue to come to know the power of your thoughts. Serving through the mind is more elevated than serving through actions. The service to transform the attitudes and atmosphere through your attitude is extremely elevated. Nevertheless, it is easier to perform actions than to do this. You have also been given this definition before, but, today, Baba is clarifying the aspect of giving a glimpse or vision of you being an embodiment of power through your actions. It will become easier for the power of your thoughts to reach them through your actions. Otherwise, weak actions bring down the intellect, your subtle energy and your thoughts, just as the earth’s gravity brings down things from above. Therefore, put that vision into your actions. Achcha.
To those who reveal every power through their karma, to those who reveal the Almighty Authority Father through their embodiment of power, to those who are the embodiment of power who constantly recognise and then transform themselves, to those who constantly grant a vision of the unique Father through their activities, to such master almighty souls who perform elevated actions, to the souls who are the embodiment of power, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
BapDada meeting groups:
The result of giving hospitality to Maya is sadness.
Do you constantly consider yourselves to be BapDada’s companions? The sign of your constantly experiencing the Father’s company is victory. If you spend a lot of time in battling and experiencing labour, it proves that you don’t have the Father’s company. Those who experience His constant company remain absorbed in love for Him. A soul merged in the Ocean of Love cannot be influenced by anyone. It is not a big thing for Maya to come, but she should not show her form. By your offering hospitality to Maya you experience sadness as you move along. You feel that you are neither moving forward nor moving backward. You are unable to move backward or move forward. This is what the influence of Maya does. The attraction of Maya stops you from flying. In fact, there is no question of moving backward anyway. However, if you are not moving forward, then check the seed and burn it. Don’t think, “I am moving along, I am coming, I am listening, I am serving according to my capacity.” Instead of doing that, check to what extent there is progress in your speed and your stage. Achcha.
Only those who surrender to the Father in one strike become a mahaprasad (great offering).
Are all of you children especially experiencing your inheritance of the stage of liberation-in-life? Are you liberated-in-life or bound-in-life? To be a trustee means to be one who is liberated-in-life. So have you died alive or are you still dying? For how many years still will you be dying? On the path of bhakti, what do they offer as prasad (bhog) to the non-living idols? That which is sacrificed instantly in one strike. A sacrifice that dies whilst crying out cannot be offered as prasad. Only those who sacrifice themselves in one strike become prasad in front of the Father, only those who surrender themselves in one go. Those who consider everything and think, “I am Baba’s and Baba is mine”, as soon as they think, “Everything is finished for me”, and are struck by the sword, become an instant sacrifice. If they think, “I will become, it will happen”, and constantly put off everything to some time ahead, then that is like crying out. Those who constantly think in this way cannot be liberated-in-life. As soon as you recognize Baba, then, “As the Father, so the children”. It is not possible for the Father to be the Ocean and the children to be beggars. The Father has made you the offer, “Belong to Me”! There is nothing to think about in this. Achcha.
Blessing: May you be a jewel of contentment who constantly remains content and makes everyone content through your vision, your attitude and your actions.
Special souls of the Brahmin clan are those who always remain content, and through their vision, their attitude and their actions, give others the experience of contentment. They are jewels of contentment who constantly experience themselves being showered by BapDada with golden flowers in their thoughts, words, actions, and in their meetings, connections and relationships. Only such jewels of contentment become the garland around BapDada’s neck.
Slogan: By saving your thoughts, your time and words will automatically be saved.
