26-03-93 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban
In the Avyakt Year, make your aim and qualifications the same.
Today, incorporeal and subtle BapDada is seeing the most elevated Brahmin souls in the subtle and corporeal forms. All of you souls in the corporeal form are personally in front of the Father, and the children who are in the subtle form are also in front of Baba. BapDada is pleased seeing both. All of you have one thought and the enthusiasm in your heart that you all become the same as the Father, from corporeal to subtle, and subtle to incorporeal. BapDada is seeing this aim and the qualifications for it in everyone. What is visible?
The aim of the majority is very good and determined, but the qualifications for it are sometimes determined and sometimes ordinary. Bringing about equality in the aim and qualifications is a sign of becoming like the Father. There are some who have imbibed their aim to 99% and all the rest are numberwise. However, to what extent have you imbibed the qualifications constantly and easily, in a natural way and made it part of your nature? In this, the minority are up to 90%. All the rest are numberwise. So, why is there a difference in the aim and its qualifications and making those qualifications natural and part of your nature? According to the time, according to the circumstances, according to problems, some children make their aim and its qualifications the same through making effort, but greater attention is now needed to make them natural and part of your nature. You are celebrating this year as the year of stabilising yourselves in the stage of an avyakt angel. BapDada is pleased seeing both the love and the effort of the children and He also sings the song: Wah children! wah! Together with this, He further wishes to see equality in all the children's aim and their qualifications. All of you also want this, do you not? The Father wants this, you also want it, and so what comes inbetween? You also know that very well. You hold workshops amongst yourselves, do you not?
BapDada saw one special aspect for there being a difference between the aim and the qualifications. Whether you become a subtle angel or incorporeal; the main basis to make this constantly your natural nature, is to become egoless. There are many types of ego. When speaking, there is one main word, and that is ‘body consciousness’, but there is a lot of expansion of body consciousness. One is body consciousness in the gross form, which many children do not have. If there is attraction to the body, whether to your own body or to another’s, that too is body consciousness. However, some children have passed that gross form. There may not have arrogance or attachment to the bodily form in a gross way, but in relation to the body, they have special sanskars, a special intellect, special virtues, special talents or special powers: the ego of those, that is, the arrogance, intoxication and bossiness are the subtle arrogance of the body. Out of all those subtle types of arrogance if there is any one type of arrogance, then, neither can you naturally and constantly become a subtle angel nor can you become incorporeal, because subtle angels also do not have any body consciousness. They are doublelight. The arrogance of the body does not allow you to become incorporeal. Everyone has paid very good attention this year. There is zeal and enthusiasm; there is a very good desire; you want this too, but let there be further attention please. Check: Does any type of ego or arrogance change your natural form into the form of an effortmaker? Is there a trace of a subtle form of ego that still remains which may emerge according to the time or sometimes even according to service? It may only be a trace, but it would deceive you at the appropriate time. Therefore, BapDada's desire is that you fulfil your aim that you have for this year.
As you move along, even though you don't make a specific mistake on a particular day or at a particular time, you do sometimes experience not knowing why there isn't the happiness that there should be on that day, or at that moment. You don't know why today there is loneliness, hopelessness or suddenly a storm of waste thoughts. You had amrit vela, you went to class, you did service, you did your job, and so why is this happening? What is the reason? Through checking in the gross form you understand that there hasn't been a mistake made, but that a trace of a subtle form of arrogance emerges. This is why you are unable to focus your heart on any task. There is only disinterest and you just feel sad. You then either wish to go to a place of solitude, or you think about going to sleep. You wish to go for a rest or to move away from the family for a little while. The reason for all these states is the wonder of the trace of something. Don't even call it a wonder (kamala), but call it an upheaval (dhamaal). To be completely egoless means easily to become subtle and incorporeal. Sometimes, you don't have any desire to do anything. You think: Is this going to be our timetable all the time? There has to be some change. Will this timetable be the same all the time? You arrive at this stage even against your will.
When you become egoless, you will not wish to come down from the subtle and incorporeal stages. You will experience yourself to be lost in that. Why? Your original stage is incorporeal, is it not? The incorporeal soul has entered that body; the body has not entered the soul, but the soul has entered the body. So, your original eternal form is incorporeal, is it not? Or, is it that of a bodily being? The support of the body has been taken, but who has taken the support? You, the incorporeal soul have taken the support of the corporeal body. So what is original: the soul or the body? The soul. Are you sure about this? Is it easy to stabilise yourself in the original stage, or in the stage of taking support? What is easy?
The door for arrogance to enter is one word. What is that word? It is the word “I”. Practise: Whenever the word "I" is used, bring the original form in front of you. Who am I? Should it be the soul, or should it be "I am suchandsuch a person"? You give knowledge to others that the word "I" makes you fly and that the same word "I" makes you fall. If, by saying the word "I", your original incorporeal form is remembered, and it becomes natural, then this first lesson is easy, is it not? So check this. Instil this habit. As soon as you think "I", the incorporeal form should enter your awareness. How many times do you say "I"? "I said this." "I will do this." "I think this." You use the word "I" many times. So this is the easy way to become incorporeal and subtle. Whenever you use the word "I", your incorporeal and original form should instantly come in front of you. Is this difficult or easy? Then your qualifications are certain to become equal to your aim. Simply adopt this easy method of becoming egoless and see. This "I" of the arrogance of the body should finish. It is the word "I" that brings you into the arrogance of the body. If you bring into your awareness the form of "I, the incorporeal soul", then this word "I" will take you beyond the arrogance of the body. This is right, is it not? Throughout the day, you probably use the word "I" 25 to 30 times. You may not say it, but you probably think it. "I will do this, I will do that." Even when you make plans, what do you think? When you have practised doing something so many times, what will happen to the awareness of the form of the soul? It will make you incorporeal. Become incorporeal, become a subtle angel, carry out your task and then become incorporeal once again. Come into relationships with the relationship of karma. Do not bring bondage in a relationship. To have arrogance of the body means to come into a bondage of karma. To come into a relationship with the body means to have a relationship of karma. There is a difference between the two. There is a difference between taking the support of the body and to be under the influence of the body. Taking the support of the body, an angel and incorporeal soul will not come into the bondage of the body; they will have a relationship, but not come into bondage. During this year, BapDada will see the result: to what extent has the aim and the qualifications of becoming egoless, subtle angels and incorporeal become equal.
The sign of greatness is humility. The greater the humility, the more a soul will automatically be great in everyone's heart. Without becoming humble, you cannot become a master bestower of happiness for all. Humility easily makes you egoless. The seed of humility automatically enables you to attain the fruit of greatness. Humility is the easy method for claiming blessings from the heart of everyone. A soul with humility is easily given a place of love in everyone's heart. Humility automatically makes you worthy of praise. The special sign of becoming egoless is humility. There is humility in your attitude, humility in your drishti, humility in your words and also humility in your connections and relationships. It should not be that you say: "It wasn't in my attitude, but the words just emerged”. No, whatever is your attitude, your drishti will be accordingly. Whatever is your drishti, your words will be according to that, and whatever are your words will also be in your connections and relationships. There has to be humility in all four. If there is humility in three and not in one, then there is a margin for allowing arrogance. This is known as being an angel. So, do you understand what BapDada wishes and what you wish? The wish of both is the same. Now let the deeds be the same.
What new plans of service will you make for the future? You have made some plans already and you have yet to make more plans. Whether for the future, whether for this year, or for future years, you say for the future plans that you will give lectures, you will increase contacts and relationships, you will have large and small programmes; you think about this. However, according to the present speed of time, the speed of service should also be fast. How will that happen? You are doing service through words and through connections and relationships. You also do service through the mind. However, what is now needed is that there should be greater success in service in a shorter time. Success means results. The method for this is that together with words, first of all, make your stage and the vibrations of your place powerful. For instance, what service do your nonliving images do? They satisfy so many devotees through their vibrations. They do this, do they not? Have the doubleforeigners seen their temples? They are your temples, are they not? Or are they the temples of only the people of Bharat? They are yours too. Your images are doing service. So, by all means, serve through words, but now make such plans that together with words, create such a method of serving through vibrations so that the vibrations and words perform a double task. Vibrations stay for a long time. When people hear words, many forget them, whereas impression of vibrations lasts longer. You have experienced in your life that the wrong type of vibrations stay in your mind and intellect for a long time. How long do those wrong vibrations last for? They stay inside you, do they not? At that time, the words are forgotten but an impression is left on your mind and intellect in the form of vibrations. For how long do you then remain under the influence of those vibrations of others and interact with those people on that basis? This happens, does it not? Whether they are wrong or right, vibrations are removed with great difficulty. However, in order to spread spiritual vibrations, first finish the vibrations of waste in your mind and intellect. Only then will you be able to spread spiritual vibrations. If you have waste vibrations for anyone, you cannot spread spiritual vibrations. The vibrations of waste become a wall in front of spiritual vibrations. No matter how powerful the sun may be, if there is a wall in front of it, or if there are clouds, the light of the sun cannot come through. So, strong vibrations are like a wall and lighter vibrations are like light clouds or black clouds. They don't allow spiritual vibrations to reach souls. Just as many things can be caught in the sea at the same time by throwing a net, and some spread their net and make many people belong to them at one time, in the same way, vibrations can attract many souls at one time. Vibrations create an atmosphere. So for service in the future, together with attitude, do service with vibrations, then the speed will be fast. If, together with vibrations and the atmosphere, you do service through words, you will bring benefit to many souls at the same time.
For the programmes, make more use of an already prepared stage. Increase that form of service. Taking this cooperation from those in contact you can expand this type of service. Increase cooperation from the cooperative ones through any method, and then, by being cooperative in service, they will automatically become easy yogis. There are souls who do not become easy yogis straight away. However, you must keep taking cooperation from them, make them cooperative and by them moving forward in giving co operation, their cooperation will make them into yogis. So bring cooperative souls onto the stage of service. Make use of their co operation in a worthwhile way. Do you understand what you have to do? If even one soul gives or receives cooperation, that soul moves forward easily with instant blessings and becomes an instrument to serve many others.
Together with that, during the year, fix months when there can be the practice of special effort for the self and for developing elevated power. You call this tapasya, a retreat or a bhatti. And so, according to each country, fix two months for this according to the season: two months for tapasya, two months for small programmes, two months for large programmes. Fix it in this way. It should not be that you become so busy in service for 12 months that there is no time for selfprogress. So, as is the country and the season of that country, let there be special time for your own progress because there are times when outside service is not possible. Not to do service throughout the year is not possible. To have tapasya throughout the entire year is also not possible. Therefore, keep both in your aim. Each country, whether Bharat or abroad, can fix a time according to your place: a time in which service and selfprogress can both happen simultaneously.
To those who constantly fly with the faith and intoxication again and again: "I am an incorporeal soul"; to the humble souls who attain greatness through constant humility, to all the elevated and humble souls who make their subtle and incorporeal stage natural and their nature, lots and lots and lots of love and remembrances and namaste from BapDada.
