The attainment of self­sovereignty with ruling and controlling power.

Today, BapDada who has love for the children was especially checking two aspects in every child. The practical form of love is to make the children complete and perfect. Today, Baba was seeing how much ruling power and controlling power there is in each one. The physical organs of the body function through control by the soul, so that it can use them whenever it chooses, however it chooses and wherever it chooses. That is controlling power. Just as the hands and feet are physical powers, in the same way, the mind, intellect and sanskars are your subtle powers. Have you developed the power to control the subtle powers, that is, controlling power and ruling power to use the mind, intellect and sanskars whenever you choose, wherever you choose, however you choose and for however long you choose? Because in this Brahmin life you become a master almighty authority. The attainment of this time continues for the whole cycle in the form of a ruler and then in the form of a worshipper. To whatever extent you claim the kingdom of the world for half a cycle, that is, however powerful your status of a ruler and however worthy of worship you become, to that extent you become an elevated worshipper on the path of devotion. In devotion, too, an elevated soul has controlling power over the mind, intellect and sanskars. The devotees, too, become powerful numberwise. That is, whichever special deity they choose to worship, for as long as they want and by whichever method, according to the method of their devotion, they attain the fruit of that devotion in the form of contentment, stability, power and happiness. However, this Brahmin birth is the basis of the ruling status and the power of devotion. So this one short birth of the confluence age is the basis for all the births of the whole cycle. Just as you become special in ruling the kingdom, in the same way, you become special devotees, not ordinary. The devotees of the rosary of devotees are separate, but the devotional attainment of you souls, who become worthy of worship yourselves as well as becoming worshippers, is special. So, today, BapDada was seeing this birth of the children which is the main basis. From the beginning until now, with what constancy and to what percentage have there been ruling power and controlling power in Brahmin life. Within this, first of all, check the result of your subtle powers. What is visible in your result? Controlling power over these three special powers ­ the mind, intellect and sanskars ­ is known as self­sovereignty. These subtle powers can make the physical organs work with discipline according to the system. What result did Baba see? The result seen was that all are according to their capacity in these three aspects, in being able to use them whenever, wherever and however they choose. There isn't full power, but power is according to capacity. The double foreigners use the words 'something’ a lot in their language. Would this be called “being an almighty authority”? You are mighty, but are you all­mighty? In fact, this is called the foundation of Brahmin life. And to whatever extent someone has authority over the self, that is, if a soul knows the method of making the self and all others move, he claims a number ahead. But if a soul is according to capacity within this foundation, the number is automatically put behind. Someone who knows how to conduct himself properly and move along easily is also able to make others move along. This is what you call having handling power. There shouldn't be handling power simply to handle others. Someone who is able to handle the subtle powers of the self is also able to handle others. Controlling power and ruling power for the self become accurate handling power for others. Whether you handle not­gyani souls through service, or whether you interact with the Brahmin family with love and contentment, you will be successful in both. Because some children experience it to be very easy to know Baba, to belong to Baba and to fulfil the responsibility of love for Baba, they experience this to be very easy. However, they have to be able to move along with all Brahmin souls, but they say “something” for that. What is the reason for that? Why is it easy to fulfil the responsibility with the Father? Because there is unbreakable love from the heart. It is easy to fulfil one's responsibility out of love. When you have love for someone, you love the signal of teachings given by that one, and your heart always experiences that whatever has been said is for your benefit, because there are elevated feelings of love in the heart for that one. Just as there are elevated feelings of love in your heart for that one, in the same way, the return of your good wishes is received from others. When you create a sound in a dome, it echoes and comes back to you. Just as you have unbreakable, constant, stable love and elevated feelings and faith, then, even though Brahmins souls are numberwise, is there constant and unbreakable soul­conscious love for them in the same way? You do have love, but when you see the variety of activity and the variety of sanskars, there isn't unbreakable and constant love. If a soul's activity, that is, behaviour and sanskars towards the self or others is not how you like it, the percentage of love is reduced. However, when there is soul­conscious love for souls with the feelings of those souls being elevated souls, there isn't a percentage. Whatever the sanskars and activity are like, Brahmin souls have an unbreakable relationship throughout the cycle. This is the Godly family. The Father has especially selected every soul and brought that soul into the Godly family. You did not come by yourselves; the Father brought you. So, by keeping the Father in front of you, there is unbreakable soul­conscious love for every soul. It is when you do not like something about a soul that there is a difference in your love. At that time, keep this awareness in your intellect: The Father has selected that soul, so there must definitely be some speciality; that is why He has selected that one. From the beginning, BapDada has been telling the children: For instance, out of the 36 virtues, if someone doesn't have 35 virtues but has only one special virtue, that is why the Father has chosen them. Did He see that one’s 35 defects or the one virtue? What did He look at? The greatest virtue and speciality is of having the intellect with which to recognise the Father, the courage to belong to Him and knowing the method of loving Him. This was not known by the founders of religion throughout the cycle. The rulers did not know this, the wealthy ones did not know this, but that soul has this speciality. Baba is asking all of you: When you came to the Father, did you come full of virtues? Did the Father look at your weaknesses? He increased your courage: You were Mine, you are Mine and you will always belong to Me. So, you should follow the Father. When you look at someone and see that one as a special soul, when you come into relationship and connection with such a soul, by keeping the Father in front of you, soul­conscious love will automatically emerge from within the soul. Because of your love, you will be loved by everyone. Then, with soul­conscious love, you will automatically receive good wishes, co­operation and pure feelings in the form of blessings from everyone. This is known as spiritual, accurate, elevated handling.

Today, BapDada was smiling because controlling power and ruling power decrease in the children due to 3 words. First of those three words is “why?”, the second “what” and the third “want”. Finish these 3 words and use one word. When there is “why?” just use one word “Wah”. When you say, “What?” then also say, “Wah!, wah!” You know how to use the word “Wah”, do you not? Wah Baba! Wah! wah me and wah drama! So simply say, “Wah!” and these 3 words will finish. The other day, Baba also told you about the game He saw. There is a picture that you people made earlier in which a yogi is shown having yoga; he is trying to stabilize the intellect, he is trying to keep balance and the balance is shown in the form of scales. The more he tries to balance the intellect, the more a monkey comes and sits on them. When the monkey of these 3 things comes, then what happens to the balance? There would be fluctuation; there would not be balance. So these 3 words finish the balance and begin to make the intellect dance (go up and down). Can a monkey sit comfortably? If nothing else, it keeps waving its tail. Here, too, because there isn't balance, souls remain deprived of the blessings they can claim from Baba at every step and from the the blessings they can receive from the Brahmin family due to spiritual love. Just as it is necessary to keep a relationship with Baba, in the same way, it is extremely necessary to keep a relationship with the Godly family. Throughout the cycle, you are to have a relationship and connection with Brahma Baba, the number one soul, and the Godly family. Do not think, "Baba is mine and I am Baba's anyway." That is not a sign of passing with honours. You souls are not sannyasi souls. You are not rishi and muni souls. You are not the souls who step away from the world, but are the souls who become the support of the world. You are not the ones who step away from the world, but are world benefactors. Leave aside the question of Brahmin souls; you are the support that transforms matter too. You cannot break away from the thread of the eternal love of the family. A victorious jewel cannot break away from the rosary of the thread of love. Therefore, never have the thought: I can step away from a particular aspect of a place, or from a particular type of service or from a companion and then make my stage good and show everyone. You say, “ I am not able to get on with this one, I will get on with that one; there isn't progress at this place, there will be progress at another place; there are obstacles in this service, other service will be better.” All of these are thoughts that will make you step away. Once you instil this habit in yourself, it will not allow you to be stable anywhere. Nor will it allow the intellect to stabilise itself because the intellect has the habit of constantly changing. Therefore, this too is considered to be weakness; this would not be considered to be progress. You must always have pure hopes for yourself, just as Baba has pure hopes for every child. No matter what anyone is like, Baba has never lost hope, even for those who would be the last number. He has always had hope. So, you too must never lose hope for yourself, for others or for service. Don't lose hope, be generous­hearted, not disheartened. ‘Generous’ means constantly having a big heart. Do not adopt any weak sanskars. Maya tries in many different forms to make you weak. However, you are also the ones who are knowledge­full about Maya, or do you only have incomplete knowledge? Also remember that Maya only comes in new forms. She does not come in the same old form, because she knows that you will recognise her. It is the same thing but she adopts a new form. Did you understand? Achcha.

Are you teachers knowledge­full about Maya? Not just to have knowledge, but to be knowledge­full. Don’t think that you have recognised the Father; you also have to recognise Maya. Are you all tied in bondage or do you find it difficult? Do you find it a sweet bondage, or do you find it a little difficult? Do you think that you will have to die a lot? Do you think: You belong to Baba now, but this has to be done, that has to be done, for how long will this continue? Do you think, “If I had known all that, I would not have come.”? Where there is love, nothing is difficult. Moths sacrifice themselves to a flame. So, can you elevated souls experience anything to be difficult with God's love? If a moth can sacrifice itself, what can you not do? Where there is the experience of difficulty, there is definitely a difference in the percentage of love. This is why it sometimes seems difficult. If it was difficult, you would experience it to be difficult all the time, would you not? Why only sometimes? It is because there is something between you and God that you find it difficult and that is why there is a difference in the percentage. When that which is in between goes away, it becomes easy.

BapDada always says that ‘teachers’ means those who have courage themselves and who become instruments for giving courage to others. Otherwise, why would you have become teachers? To be teachers means to be instruments for students. You are instruments to give courage to the weak ones and inspire them to move forward. The first sign of a successful teacher is that she will never lose courage. Those who remain courageous themselves make others courageous too. If there is a lack of courage in the self, you will not be able to give courage to others. Achcha.

To the children from all directions who experience courage and a right to the Father’s help, to those who use the powers of self­ sovereignty according to the time, to those who have unbreakable love for the Father and all souls, to those who sing songs of “wah!, wah!” in every action, relationship and connection, to the children who are such almighty authority children, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting double foreign children:

As soon as you received spiritual drishti your world changed, did it not? You saw yourself with spiritual drishti – who am I? And you also saw the Father – He alone is our Father. Through this, your world changed. Has your whole world changed or only a little bit? Do you sometimes secretly look at the old world? Does the old world appear in your dreams? Your dreams have also changed because Brahmin life means that your world has changed. The Father Himself has become your world. Is there anything else? In the world, there are two special attainments – people and possessions. Through all relationships, the Father has given you everything you need in the world. Do you experience having all relationships with the Father? Or, are there still any relationships with other people? And, what have you received from possessions? You receive happiness and joy. The Father has given you imperishable attainments. So, do you experience that attainment? In any case, when you meet any soul, if it is someone who is always happy, then, do you like that face? Or would you like a face that is not always happy? Do you always remain cheerful? Say with intoxication – If we don’t remain happy, then who will? BapDada wants to see every child’s face happy. You like this and the Father also likes this. Therefore, BapDada says: Always continue to sing this song: I have attained that which I had to; so what else is there to do? This is your song, is it not? As soon as you took Brahmin birth, BapDada gave you happiness, the greatest treasure of all. This is the gift of Brahmin birth. You sometimes become a little careless in taking care of it, and you then don’t always remain happy. BapDada has these treasures only for you children. Each one of you can take as much as you want; there is no question of accounting for it. Everyone has a full right. Achcha.

Blessing: May you attain success in every action with your knowledge­full, powerful and loveful form and become an embodiment of success.

When you do service through words, let your mind be powerful. Change the minds of others with your mind. That is, control their minds with your mind and give light and might through your words and make them knowledge­full. Through your actions, that is, through your connection and your entertaining activity, give them the experience of the real family. When you perform every action by staying in all these 3 forms, you will automatically become an embodiment of success.

Slogan: Accumulate the power of pure thoughts in yourself and this power will become a means of safety.
