19-03-88 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban
Methods to bring about entertainment in remembrance.
Today, BapDada, the Bestower of the Law, the Bestower of Blessings, is seeing His children who are master bestowers of the law and bestowers of blessings. Each child has become a bestower of the law and also a bestower of blessings. And, together with that, BapDada was seeing how great the status of the children is. The Brahmin life of this confluence age is so important. Together with the Bestower of the Law and the Bestower of Blessings, you Brahmins are also bestowers of the law, the ones who show the correct systems. You have already heard how every system of yours now changes for the systems of the golden age, and so the present systems for every action continue into the future. Even after the copper age, on the path of devotion, the methods of the elevated actions performed at this time become the systems of the path of devotion. So the laws of this time continue as the elevated laws of your life in the worshipworthy form, and they also continue on the path of worshipping, that is, on the path of devotion. On the path of devotion too, your every law continues as a custom and system. You are the bestowers of the law, the bestowers of blessings and the ones who also bestow the correct methods.
Your main principles become the method for attaining total success. For instance, your main principle is that there is the one Father, that there are many righteous souls, there are many great souls, but there is only the one Supreme Soul. Through this main principle of yours, you attain the inheritance from the Father as your success for half a cycle. To attain the reward means to be an embodiment of success. You understand that there is one Father and that the great souls and the righteous souls are not fathers but that they are your brothers. The inheritance is received from the Father, not from a brother. From this main principle you attain success for half a cycle, and then, on the path of devotion too, the principle that “God is One” becomes the basis of attaining success. The first form of devotion is also with the Shiva lingam image of the Father which is called unadulterated devotion. So, on the path of devotion too, it is through this one principle, “The Father is One”, that success is attained.
In this way, through each one of your main principles, you continue to attain success. For instance, the main principle of this life is purity. It is through the principle of purity that you souls have obtained for all time the future crown of light as a form of success. The memorial of this has been shown as the double crown. In bhakti, whenever they do accurate bhakti from their heart, they consider purity to be their main principle. They understand that without purity they cannot attain success in bhakti. Even if only for a temporary period, they adopt purity for the time that they are engaged in devotion. However, they definitely adopt the principle that “purity is the method for success”. In the same way, with your intellect, think about every principle of knowledge and every main principle of dharna and how every principle becomes the method for success. You are being given this homework of churning. Think in the same way as the examples you have been given.
You become the bestowers of the law and also the bestowers of success. This is why, even today, whatever success devotees desire, they go and worship those particular deities from whom they believe they are going to attain that particular success. Do you consider that, together with the Father, the Bestower of Success, you children also become bestowers of success? Only those who have attained all success themselves can become instruments for others to achieve success. Success (siddhi) is not a bad thing, because your success has nothing to do with occult power (riddhisiddhi). Occult power is impressive for only a temporary period. However, your success is based on the accurate method, because the success that is attained through the Godly method is also Godly success. Just as God is eternal, so the Godly methods and their success are also eternal. Those who show their occult power have limited knowledge and so their success is temporary. However, your success is the success attained with the method of the right principle. This is why you yourselves become embodiments of success for half a cycle. And, for the other half cycle, through your principles, the devotee souls continue to attain the fruit according to their capacity and also attain success, because, according to the time, the power of devotion is also decreasing. The devotee souls (of the copper age) experience greater success through the power of their satopradhan devotion than the devotees of today. Because the devotion of the present time is tamopradhan, there are neither the accurate principles nor is there any success.
So, do you have that much intoxication of who you are? Do you always remain seated on the seat of your elevated selfrespect? This seat is so elevated. When you remain set on the seat of this stage, you will not repeatedly get upset. This is your position, is it not? How great your position is: the bestowers of the law, the bestowers of success! When you remain stable in this position, Maya will not be able to cause opposition. You will constantly remain safe. The reason for your becoming upset is that you move into a state of ordinary consciousness from your seat of elevated consciousness. Staying in remembrance or doing service becomes an ordinary routine in your timetable. However, when you sit in remembrance, sit on the seat of one or other form of your elevated selfrespect. It shouldn’t be that you just get out of bed and go and sit where yoga is taking place – whether in the meditation room or in Baba’s room – or that you sit in yoga the whole day, but just as you give your body an appropriate place to sit, so first of all give your intellect the place of a good stage. First of all check whether you gave your intellect a proper place. With the right seat, you automatically have that Godly intoxication. Nowadays, people speak of the “intoxication of their chair (position)”. Your seat is that of an elevated stage. Sometimes, set yourself in the seat of the stage of a master seed; sometimes, sit on the seat of an avyakt angel; sometimes, sit on the seat of a world benefactor. In this way, sit yourself on the seat of the different stages every day. If someone is not seated on his seat properly, he is unstable. Sometimes, he will move in one direction and sometimes in another direction. Similarly, the intellect is in upheaval when you are not set on your seat. You all know that you are this and that. If you were to be asked now, "Who are you?", a very good long list would emerge. However, at every moment, consider yourself to be what you know yourself to be. Do not just know yourself, but also accept yourself as that, because by knowing yourself you stay in subtle happiness. “Yes, I am this.” However, by accepting yourself to be that, you receive power, and, by moving along considering yourself to be that, you also have intoxication. Just as when someone with a position is set on his seat, he has happiness, but not that power. So you too know, but you must also move along considering yourself to be that and repeatedly ask yourself and check: Am I set on my seat or have I come down into an ordinary stage? Those who bring about success in others will themselves definitely be embodiments of success in every thought and every action; they will be bestowers. Bestowers of success would never have the thought that they are not able to see as much success from the effort or the hard work they are doing, that they are not experiencing as much success as their practice of remembrance; that would indicate that their method of sitting on their seat was not accurate.
Knowledge is entertaining, and entertaining experiences will automatically chase away laziness. Some say: Normally, sleep wouldn't come, but when I sit in yoga, I feel sleepy. Why does this happen? It is not that you are tired, but that you don’t set your intellect on its seat in an entertaining and natural way. So, don’t just set it in one way, but set it in various ways. If the same thing is used in a variety of ways, by being transformed, your heart is happy. No matter how delicious something may be, if you keep eating that same thing again and again, or if you keep looking at the same thing again and again, what would happen? Similarly, be the seed form but sometimes also experience the form of the lighthouse, sometimes the might house, sometimes be the seed on top of the tree, sometimes stand on top of the world cycle and give power to everyone. Experience the different titles that you have received in different ways each day. Sometimes, experience the form: I, the jewel of Baba's eyes, am merged in Baba’s eyes. Sometimes, be the jewel on the forehead. Sometimes, be seated on the heartthrone. Experience the different forms. Let there be variety and you will be entertained. BapDada gives you a variety of titles every day in the murli. Why does He do this? So that you can set yourself on those seats. Just simply check this from time to time. You have heard before how it gets forgotten and how, after six or eight hours have gone by, you then think about it. That is why you become unhappy that half the day has already gone. Let this become a natural practice for only then will you become bestowers of the law, bestowers of success and be able to benefit all the souls of the world. Do you understand? Achcha.
Today is the day for the Madhuban residents. It is good that the double foreigners have given you a chance out of their time because they are happy to see the Madhuban residents. The Madhuban residents say: Don't praise us; we have heard a great deal of praise. On hearing your praise, you are becoming great, because that praise then becomes a shield. Just as on a battlefield, a shield is the means of safety, so this praise reminds you of how great you are. Madhuban isn't just Madhuban but Madhuban is the world stage. To live in Madhuban means to live on the world stage. Those who are on a stage are there with so much attention. In an ordinary way, wherever someone may be staying, they wouldn’t live with such attention. However, when someone comes onto a stage, at all times, in every act, there will be that much attention. Madhuban is the world stage. The vision of souls of all corners is on Madhuban. In any case, everyone's attention is always focused on the stage. So the residents of Madhuban are the ones who are constantly stable on the world stage.
As well as that, Madhuban is also a unique dome. The slightest sound made in this dome echoes. Madhuban is such a unique dome that the slightest sound in Madhuban reaches the whole world. Nowadays, they have such memorial places (in name only) where, if you touch one wall or make a sound against one wall, there will be a ripple effect on ten walls, and it will sound like someone tapping on that same wall. So, Madhuban is such a unique dome that its sound not only reaches Madhuban, but it spreads in all directions. It spreads in such a way that those living in Madhuban would not even be aware of it. This is its uniqueness, and this is why it spreads everywhere outside. Therefore, never think that whatever has happened here is just here, or that whatever is seen here is seen only here or is spoken only here. However, the sound reaches the world at the speed of the wind because everyone’s vision and everyone’s intellect always has Madhuban and BapDada of Madhuban. The Father of Madhuban is in your vision; therefore, Madhuban would also be in your vision, would it not? If Baba of Madhuban is here, Madhuban must also be here! There isn’t just Baba in Madhuban, there are also the children. So, the residents of Madhuban are automatically in everyone's vision. Ask any Brahmin, no matter how far away they are living, what it is they remember. They remember “Madhuban” and “Baba of Madhuban”. The residents of Madhuban have so much importance! Do you understand? Achcha.
To all those everywhere who maintain zeal and enthusiasm for service, to those who constantly remain merged in the love of the one Father, to those who constantly experience success with the elevated method in every action, to those who constantly experience themselves to be world benefactors and who remain busy in service with their elevated good wishes and elevated pure feelings through their every thought and word, to the constantly tireless server children who are like the Father, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
Personal meetings:
Do you experience yourselves to be elevated karma yogi souls? A karma yogi soul constantly experiences the instant fruit of action in a natural way. The instant fruit is happiness and power. So, a karma yogi soul means one who experiences the instant fruit of happiness and power. The Father constantly enables you children to attain the instant fruit. One minute you perform the action and while performing the action, you experience happiness and power. So, constantly continue to move forward with the awareness: I am such a karma yogi soul.
By doing unlimited service, you automatically experience unlimited happiness, do you not? The unlimited Father gives you all rights to the unlimited. As the fruit of unlimited service, you automatically receive the unlimited fortune of the kingdom. When you serve while stable in an unlimited stage, the good wishes that you receive from those for whom you become instruments definitely give you the experience of power and happiness. While sitting in one place, you receive the fruit of unlimited service. With this unlimited intoxication, accumulate in your unlimited account and continue to move forward.
While carrying out every task, and keeping yourself stable in the stage of a detached observer, do you experience yourself to be a detached soul who is enabling actions to be performed? The stage of a detached observer constantly makes every task easily successful. The stage of a detached observer is so lovely. A soul who performs actions as a detached observer is always detached and loving to the Father. Do you have the intoxication: I am an alokik soul who performs actions with this practice, one who has alokik experiences, a soul who has an alokik life? While performing actions, continue to increase this practice. This practice will enable you to attain your karmateet stage. While constantly increasing this practice and while performing actions, remain detached and loving to the Father. This is called being an elevated soul.
Do you experience being a soul who is overflowing with elevated treasures? Those who are overflowing with the limitless treasures would have so much spiritual intoxication. Continue to move forward with the spiritual happiness that you are constantly overflowing with all treasures. If you awaken souls with all the treasures and make them your companions, you will become a powerful soul who is always overflowing and will constantly continue to move forward.
Blessing: May you be an image of support who remains doublelight while fulfilling the responsibility of the elevated task of world transformation.
All the responsibility lies on those who are the images of support. Wherever you step in whatever way, many souls will follow you in the same way, so that is your responsibility. However, this responsibility helps you a great deal in creating your stage because, by doing so, you receive blessings from many souls due to which your responsibility becomes light. This responsibility is such that it finishes tiredness.
Slogan: By doing service while keeping a balance between the head and the heart, you receive success.
