The Specialities of Holy Swans

Today BapDada, the One who makes all souls special, is seeing the specialities of each holy swan. A swan has the special powers of discernment and recognition. Therefore, it also has the special power of being able to imbibe, and so is able to recognise both the stone and the pearl. It then discriminates between the two and imbibes the pearl. It sets aside the pebbles, the stones. Because of having the specialities of all three powers the powers to recognise, to decide and to adopt, that is, to imbibe, the confluenceaged mother Saraswati has been shown riding a swan. It is not a memorial of just the mother Saraswati, but all of you are also the ones who become like the mother and play the veena (musical instrument) of knowledge. In order to imbibe this knowledge, all of these three specialities are very essential. When all of you adopted the Brahmin life you first had recognition on the basis of the power of recognition through knowledge and through your understanding: you recognized yourself, the time, your Brahmin family and your elevated task. Only after having discerned this did you adopt the Brahmin life. You discerned that this is the same unlimited Father, the Supreme Soul of the previous cycle, and of your being an elevated soul of the previous cycle, a soul who has a right. After discerning this you took a decision. Without recognising the Father, you are not able to decide. Some souls who are still in relationship and contact, continue to say, “This is very good, this is very good”, but because they neither have the recognition of God nor the power of discernment, they are unable to decide what they have to become and what they have to do. This is why they are unable to adopt the Brahmin life. They become co operative but they are unable to create an easy yogi life because they do not have the two powers that have just been mentioned. This is why they are unable to become holy swans. They do not consider purity, the form of pearls, to be distinct from impurity, the form of pebbles, and this is why they are unable to have the power to imbibe purity. So, the speciality of holy swans is firstly to have the power of discernment, that is, of recognition. Do all of you holy swans have both these powers? You have recognized Baba, you have recognized yourself and you have taken an accurate decision, and this is why you have become Brahmins and are moving forward. All of you have definitely passed in this. However, there should be the experience of success in every action in the service you do and the actions you perform, in the actions of your whole timetable throughout the day and when you come into relationship and connection. The souls who come into connection should experience success in the relationship with you. There should constantly be the experience of success in every type of service you do, whether it is through the mind, words or actions. The basis of this is the powers of discernment and decisionmaking. Have you fully passed in this?

Check the reasons for not being constantly successful in service and relationships. So, there is a difference in having the power to discern the task, the person and the soul. If your power of discernment is sharp at the time when a soul needs cooperation in a certain way, or if he needs certain instructions or he needs love, you would definitely be able to achieve success in that relationship. However, what happens is that because you neither discern nor give the type of cooperation or the method needed at that time, but you give him cooperation according to your own way or you adopt your own method, there isn't success in the form of contentment. For instance, what happens when a doctor doesn't know the way to diagnose your physical illness? Instead of your getting well, there are many more illnesses created from that one illness. The patient does not receive the success in the form of contentment. In simple words, BapDada says: Recognise each one's pulse. It is necessary for you to move along and make others move along too. What will you have to do? You have to increase the power to recognise, that is, the power to discern. There is a difference in this. In simple words, you say that there is a difference in the handling: This one's handling is the old way, that one's handling is the new way. Why is there this difference? It is because you need to have the power to discern each soul and each task at every moment. On the whole, you have the power to discern, but there is still a need for detailed and unlimited power of discernment. How much power to imbibe does the soul have at that moment? What is the atmosphere like? What is the mood of the soul when listening or taking instructions? If someone who has a weak body is given an injection of maximum strength, what would happen? Instead of being a patient, he would become 'patience' (state of stillness); the heart would fail, would it not? He would go into silence. Similarly, if a soul who comes into relationship with you is weak, if that soul doesn’t have courage at that time, and you keep giving a dose of teachings, if you have not been able to discern that soul's mood, the time and the atmosphere, what would the result be? Firstly, he would lose hope, and because he does not have any power, he would not be able to imbibe anything. Instead, he would be in a turmoil of stubbornness and trying to prove himself right. Whatever you did, you did with good intentions, but the reason for a lack of success is the lack of powers of discerning and judging. This is why there is a percentage in becoming an embodiment of success. In actions and in relationships throughout the day, there is a need for the power of discernment, is there not? By all means give teachings, but only take that step after having discerned all that you have been told. Therefore, on the field of service, if you do not discern the other soul's desires and needs, no matter how much clear knowledge you give, no matter how much effort you make on that soul, there will not be success. It has also become a custom to say, 'Achcha, achcha' (it is good, it is good), because you do not say anything bad anyway. In order to experience closeness to your aim of having success, the power of discernment is extremely necessary. If someone has a desire to claim liberation and you give him both, that is, liberation and liberationinlife, he will not have that much interest. You can give 36 varieties of food to someone who is thirsty, but he will only be satisfied with just a drop of water, not with the food. So, if you discern those who have a desire for liberation and you give them clarification about liberation, then their desire will increase and it might even change into liberationinlife. Some like to listen to things of dharna; if you start telling them about the duration of the cycle being 5000 years or about the God of the Gita, their interest will end. Therefore, the basis of success in service is the need to discern the stage and interest of the soul. It is necessary to discern this. So, on the basis of which power is there success in service? You need the power to discern. Whether you are serving souls without this knowledge or your service companions, the basis of success in serving both is the same. So, first of all, increase the power to discern, the speciality of a holy swan. If your power to discern is accurate and elevated, your decision will also be accurate. And whatever you wish to give anyone, that soul will automatically have the power to imbibe it. So, what will you become? A number one embodiment of success. So, whether in service or in relationships, in order to achieve your aim, adopt this characteristic.

Check throughout the day: to what extent was the power of discernment accurate in the timetable of the whole day? And, where was there a need for correction and addition? After doing that, there definitely is automatic correction because everyone has definitely received the blessing of a divine intellect. If you are under the influence of any circumstance or situation according to the time, under the influence of the company of any soul, or under the influence of the dictates of your own mind due to Maya, you are at that time under many external influences. However, when the influences of the time, circumstances, company or the dictates of the mind become light, the divine intellect then does its own work. You people call this becoming aware after having had feelings filled with force. Then there is the feeling that you should have done this correction or addition or that you have to do it. OK, there is no mark in the register or the account book of karma, but there is a spot (dot). It is no longer completely clean, is it? This is why it is said that the philosophy of action is extremely deep.

You teachers know the wonderful game of karma very well, do you not? What song do teachers sing throughout the day? You sing the song: Wah, the wonder of my elevated karma! It is not the song of the deep philosophy of karma, it is the wonder of elevated karma. There, people of the world repent their every action at every step, saying, 'Hai karma, hai karma' (suffering of action.) And what will you say: Wah, the elevated karma! Now, simply move forward in this and let it constantly be: 'Wah, the elevated karma’, not ordinary action. You have stopped repenting for actions, but you now have to underline performing elevated actions. If there are mixed actions, ordinary as well as elevated, then the success is also mixed. The special attention you now have to pay is to transform the ordinary into something special. BapDada will speak at some other time about what He sees in each one’s daily timetable. To what extent is there just the ordinary and to what extent is there the speciality? He continues to see this result.

BapDada has so many instruments that He is able to see all the children of this land and abroad at the same time. There is no need to see them all separately. He can know about everyone in 5 minutes. He sings the songs of wonder of the children, and, together with that, He also checks it against your aim of becoming the same as He is. You have also heard previously that all of you have passed in having love for the Father and in recognising the Father. And, sometimes, you even perform tasks of wonder (kamaal)! You perform good wonders, not wonders with chaos (dhamaal). Some children perform wonders of chaos. It is chaos, but they say: No, this is our wonder. This is why BapDada says: Increase your power to discern. You will then be able to discern your actions and also discern the actions of others accurately. You will then not say that wrong is right. This is a lack of the power to discern. And always remember one thing; Baba is saying this to everyone: Sometimes, some of you perform a wasteful or ordinary action and you are unable to discern for yourself whether that was right or wrong. When such a situation arises, that is, when you are under an external influence, what is the elevated method to attain success in that situation? When you perform such an action, your intellect is under an influence at that time, and that is why you consider that which is wrong to be right. You do not understand wrong to be wrong but you understand it to be right. Then you become stubborn or try to prove something; this is an indication of an intellect that is under an external influence. At such times, constantly remember the elevated instructions of one BapDada. You must give importance to the directions given by the souls BapDada has made His instruments. At that time, do not think that those who are instruments are saying something to you because someone has told them something. You become deceived by that. By giving importance to the teachings and directions at the time they are given to you by the elevated souls who are the instruments, even though those things might be bad, you are not responsible. Baba always said about Brahma Baba that if a mistake was made by Brahma, that mistake would change and be corrected for you. There should never be any waste thoughts about souls who have been made the instruments. If an instrument soul gives you a decision which you do not feel to be correct, you are not responsible; your sins will not increase. Your work will be done accurately because the Father is there. He will change that sin. This is a deep secret, incognito machinery. Therefore, make important use of the elevated directions given by the elevated souls who are the instruments. There is benefit in that for you. Loss will change into benefit. This is the Father’s guarantee. Do you understand? This is why you are told that the wonderful game is very unique. The Father is responsible. The Father is also responsible for those He has made instruments. He is also responsible to change your sin. They have not been made instruments just like that; they have been made instruments after consideration and thought, according to the law of the drama. Do you understand?

The teachers like that (what Baba has said), do you not? There is benefit in this, is there not? So much of your burden is lightened. If anything comes up, you would say: The seniors who have been made instruments know about it. You become light, do you not? However, it is not just for the sake of saying it, but it also has to be understood in this way with love and with selfrespect. The Father and the children who are sensible know about these deep aspects. To say anything about souls who are the instruments means to say that about the Father. The Father has made them instruments, has He not? Do you have greater power to discern than the Father?

BapDada has deep love for all you children. It is not that He has love only for the instruments and not for others. It is because of love that He gives directions. If He didn't have love, He would say: Let them carry on the way they are. But no; since you have had so much courage and are following the Brahmin life and flying, why should there be even a small weakness? This is love. One cannot bear to see weaknesses in someone for whom there is love. This is a sign of love. You always consider a weakness in the one you truly love in your heart to be your own weakness. Achcha.

Whatever task you perform, never become influenced by an atmosphere of upheaval. Let there be your influence, and they will then come under your influence and it will emerge in your heart that success is your birthright. Courage is very important. Do not be frightened about anything. You are also ones with a thousand arms. Baba's thousand arms are also yours, are they not? Achcha.

BapDada meeting brothers and teachers from the Sion Centre, Bombay:

All of you have arrived here having completed your task. Have you come after having passed or after having passed with honours? You played a good part. A soul definitely receives the return of his love. One who has received love definitely gives the return of love at a time of need. There is a need for some souls to play their part at this time and there are also some who are needed at the beginning of the new world. What will you do? The drama has to move on, does it not? Therefore, there is a need at the beginning for those special souls those who have gone or are going. A new chapter will now begin, will it not? Which souls are needed to begin the new chapter for reproduction through yogapower? Yogi souls are needed, are they not? Anything may become the excuse, but settlement has to take place and service too has to take place. Now do not think about who will give birth to Krishna and who will give birth to Radhe. Do not go into that expansion. That is not a topic. This is why you have been told that the games of karma are wonderful. Anyone may give birth; do not go into that. Are you going to go there or are you just going to think about it? Achcha.

To the special souls in all directions who always have the power to discern, to the souls who are embodiments of success and attain elevated success in their every action and relationship, to the powerful souls who bring about transformation through courage, good wishes and pure feelings, to the children who constantly sing the song of happiness 'How wonderful my elevated karma is', BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

Blessing: May you be introverted and give the experience of spirituality by remaining stable in your elevated form and elevated intoxication.

Just as the sparkle of the special stars in the galaxy of all the stars seen in the distance is lovely and unique, in the same way, you stars should be visible as special souls in the midst of ordinary souls. While in your ordinary form, you should have an extraordinary and spiritual stage and then in the gathering you will be seen as the people of God. For this, have the practice of remaining introverted before you come into extroversion. Always remain stable in your elevated form and intoxication and together with being knowledgefull, also be powerful and then give knowledge. Only then will you be able to give many souls an experience.

Slogan: If you keep Ravan’s property with you, Dilaram, the Comforter of Hearts, cannot stay in your heart.
