To become lost in the experience of every virtue and every power is to be one who has the fortune of happiness.

Today, BapDada, the Ocean of Love, is celebrating a meeting with His children who are embodiments of love. The Father has deep love for the children and the children also have deep love for the Father. This string of love pulls the children here and it also pulls the Father here. Children know how much happiness this Godly love gives. When you become absorbed in this love for even one second, you forget all the many types of sorrow and you begin to swing in the swing of happiness. You do experience this, do you not? BapDada is seeing that, in terms of the outside world, you souls are so ordinary, and yet your fortune is so elevated! Throughout the entire cycle, no dharamatma (religious soul) or mahatma (great soul) has received or can receive such a fortune. So, you are extremely ordinary and yet extremely and greatly fortunate. BapDada loves the ordinary souls. Why? The Father Himself comes in an ordinary body. He does not come in the body of a king or a queen. He does not come in the body of a dharmatma or a mahatma. He only comes in an ordinary body and the children that come are also ordinary. Even the multimillionaires of today are ordinary. The ordinary children have a lot of feeling of faith and loving devotion (bhavna), and the Father wants children with bhavna, not those who are body conscious. The greater they are, the more arrogance they would have (bhan), but not bhavna. So the Father has to give the fruit of their bhavna and it is the ordinary souls who have bhavna. The famous and well known souls neither have the bhavna nor the time. So the Father is seeing how you are so ordinary and yet are attaining the elevated fruit of your bhavna. This is why, according to the drama, to be ordinary at the confluence age is also a sign of fortune, because it is at the confluence age that the Bestower of Fortune draws the line of elevated fortune; and, together with that, He has also given the children the pen with which to draw the line of fortune. Have you received the pen? Do you know how to draw the line of fortune? How long a line have you drawn? You haven't drawn just any ordinary line, have you? You can create as much fortune as you want. You have full freedom; everyone has full freedom. Whether you are new, whether you are old, whether you have done the one week's course and just recognised the Father, the Father still gives you the pen of fortune. This is Godly love. What is the sign of love? If someone gives you whatever you need in your life, that is a sign of love. So, the sign of the love of the Father is that He fulfils whatever desires you have in your life. You want peace and happiness, do you not? When you give something to one another, you receive happiness from that, do you not?

So the Father doesn't only give you happiness, but He makes you into treasurestores of happiness. You are treasurestores of happiness, are you not? How much do you have? Do you have a full stock, or only one or two rooms? You have the treasurestore. Just as the Father is the Ocean of Happiness, He is not a river or a pond, He is the Ocean, and so He makes the children masters of the treasurestore of happiness. Do you lack happiness? Do you lack any attainment? You do not, do you? Then, do not say: Give me a little power! Baba has already given it. There is no need to say: Give me some power! The Father has already given it. You simply need a method to use it, and you have been given many various methods. It is just that, from time to time, you do not use them and you are therefore not able to take benefit from them even though you do have them. It is such great fortune, and you have received it so easily! Did you make any effort? You did not have to stand on one leg, did you? It is not that you are standing in the queue for a second's glimpse. You are sitting comfortably. Even sitting on the ground, you are sitting on foam. You are very comfortably and easily creating your elevated fortune. Do you have this intoxication? All of you say with intoxication that the Bestower of Fortune belongs to you. Since the Bestower of Fortune belongs to you, to whom would He give the fortune?

To make the Bestower of Fortune belong to you means to attain a right to fortune. Those who have this intoxication constantly have the experience: "If fortune is not mine, who else would it belong to, because the Bestower of Fortune belongs to me?". Do you have this much intoxication? Or, does it sometimes increase and sometimes decrease? The time of the confluence age is so short, and the majority of you are all new. You have received so little time. However, within this drama, the speciality of the confluence age is that whether you are old or new, even new ones have been given a golden chance of claiming a number ahead. Do the new ones have this much enthusiasm? Or, do you think: No, there are many who are ahead of us; we have only just come. No, you have full freedom. You can make as much progress as you want. You simply need to pay attention to your practice. Some old ones become careless and then, if you new ones don't become careless, you can claim a number ahead. You would then claim a number. You wish to take it, do you not? Not the first number, but the first division. Father Brahma has been fixed as the first number. However many want can come in the first division. So, in which division will all of you come? If everyone comes in the first, then, who would come in the second? In which group will the mothers come? Will you come in the first? Very good. "We have to come." This determined faith guarantees your fortune. "I don't know if I will come or not come. Maybe, as I progress further, Maya will come..." Maya is also very clever. Do not ever have such wasteful thoughts. When the Almighty Authority is with you, Maya is a paper tiger in front of Him. Therefore, do not be afraid. Do not ever have the thought: I don't know. Become master knowledgeful as you continue to perform every action. The experience of His Company makes everything constantly easy and keeps you safe. When you forget the Company, everything becomes difficult. However, the promise that all of you have made is that you will live together and go home together. This is your promise, is it not? Or, will you live alone and return alone? So, increase the experience of this Company. You know that you have the Company, you accept it, but what is the difference? You know this, you accept it, but you do not move along according to it. The force of Maya makes you forget the course, but is Maya so powerful? Is she powerful or are you? Or, is it that sometimes Maya is powerful and sometimes, you are powerful? Your weakness is Maya; it is nothing else. Your weakness becomes Maya and comes in front of you. Just as physical weakness comes to you in the form of illness, in the same way, the weakness of the soul comes in front of you in the form of Maya. It is nothing else. So, do not become weak and Maya will not then come. Your aim is to become conquerors of Maya and conquerors of the world. How many times have you become victorious? Countless, and yet you become afraid. When something new happens, you say: It was something new, I did not know about it and I therefore became afraid. However, on the other hand, you say that you have been victorious many times; so why do you become afraid? The Father's love for the children is such that each child should become an elevated soul and claim a right to a kingdom. You do not wish to become one who has a right to become a subject, do you? So, one who has a right to a kingdom is one who has conquered every physical organ. If you do not gain victory over your physical organs, and over your mind, intellect and sanskars, how would you rule over your subjects? If you are not able to gain victory over yourselves, then the golden age would become the iron age. Therefore, check whether your mind, intellect and sanskars are under your control. Is your mind controlling you or are you controlling your mind? When you complain and say, "I cannot stabilise my mind. My mind is wandering", is this being a conqueror of your mind? "Today, my mind is unhappy; today, my mind is being attracted towards something else." Are these the thoughts of a victorious person? How can those who are not able to gain victory over themselves gain victory over the world? Therefore, check to what extent you have become conquerors of your physical organs and your mind. If you wish to come in the first division, then by having these qualifications you are able to attain your aim.

BapDada saw that the children are maintaining a lot of zeal and enthusiasm. They even like a life of knowledge. They are even moving forward well in listening to and relating knowledge, but, whilst moving along, what is the reason a weakness comes? The main reason is that whatever you say and whatever you hear, you lack the experience of every virtue, every power and every point of knowledge. For instance, how many times do you say to yourself or to others, "I am a soul; you are a soul; I am an embodiment of peace; I am an embodiment of happiness." How many times do you think this and say it to others too? However, whilst walking and moving around, you lack the experience of soul consciousness, of being an embodiment of knowledge, an embodiment of love and an embodiment of peace. Your speaking and listening are greater than your experience: and the greatest authority is that of experience. Become absorbed in that experience. When you say "embodiment of peace", then you yourself and others should experience the peace within the form. You speak of each virtue individually and each power individually; but those virtues and powers should be experienced at a time of need. Some continue to say that they should imbibe the power of tolerance and that it is good to be tolerant, but they do not have that experience. Because of lacking that experience, they are not able to attain as much as they want. If every one of you were to be asked whether you are making as much effort as you should be making, very few would answer "yes". You should experience in your practical life and actions as much as you are receiving. Do not experience this just in your thoughts, but you yourself and others, too, should also experience the virtues and powers in your practical activity and actions. You say that you are embodiments of knowledge. So that form should be visible, should it not? And an embodiment is for all the time. Being an embodiment is not only sometimes. If you look at someone who has a life without knowledge, if someone has an angry nature, then, when anything happens, that form is visible; it does not remain hidden. Whether it is something small or large, whatever the form of someone is, it is visible. You yourself experience it and others also experience it. Then, what do you say? "He is an angry person. His sanskars are those of anger." Therefore, the sanskars are visible, are they not? In the same way, there should be the experience of being an embodiment of knowledge, an embodiment of peace and an embodiment of happiness. To be an embodiment of all experiences is the sign of elevated effort. So, now increase your experience. Experience whatever you speak of. If you do not experience that, the reason is that you lack paying attention to the method you have been given. The more you revise the knowledge, virtues and powers, the more easily you will be able to realise them. Because you do not revise it, you lack the realisation. It is very good that you have heard it, but as you walk and move around, you should revise it. People of the world say that karma is yoga. They do not believe karma to be separate from yoga. They consider karma to be yoga. To have yoga with karma – they consider this to be karma yoga. However, there has to be a balance between karma and yoga. To remain busy in karma is not yoga. Whilst performing actions, there should be the experience of yoga. When you become busy in performing actions, the actions become elevated, and the yoga is then left to one side. This is the carelessness that comes as you move along. To experience yoga whilst performing actions is known as being a karma yogi. The main thing is to become an embodiment of experience, to become absorbed in the experience of each virtue, to become an embodiment of all powers. All powers should be visible in your form. Even now, if someone has a special power, what do you say of that person? That that one is the embodiment of tolerance, that the power to face is very much visible in that one. It is because it is visible that you say this. If you are able to see it in some and not in others, or you are able to see it sometimes but not at all times, then it means that there is less attention. Others should experience every virtue, every power and every point of knowledge through your form, and that will only happen when you yourself have this experience. If you yourself are experienced, then others would automatically receive an experience from you; and when you experience it, you have so much happiness. If you experience any virtue or power for even one second, your happiness increases so much. There would constantly be the experience of the sparkle of happiness, and the sparkle of having the fortune of happiness would be on your face. So, now increase this experience. The method is clear, is it not? Achcha, all of you have the fortune of happiness, but you have come to celebrate with special happiness. So, have all of you received happiness?

Are all of you staying comfortably? When the mind is in rest, the body automatically receives rest. This has to happen: the more you expand your places, the smaller they will become. This is destiny. What can you do about it? And it is good. You are able to have a rehearsal: "Wherever You make us sit, however You make us sit and wherever You put us to sleep." You are able to have a rehearsal of this. It is good to sleep on the floor. You become kings of the floor. In the scriptures, the kings and queens of the floor are remembered very much. (Patrani and Patraja – queen and king who live very comfortably). You have become this very easily. Do you have any difficulties? BapDada and the instrument souls think that you should all live comfortably, and if you are able to remain comfortable even when there are a lot of people, it is a matter of great happiness. Are you happy wherever you are staying? Do you not have any difficulties? Should we call more people? If a notice is sent out saying that anyone who wants to come can come, what would you have to do? You would have to do constant tapasya. Eat the nourishment of happiness and have constant yoga and then everyone can come. Would you do this? Would you not get tired? Would you not be hungry? Would you not eat for seven days? You would not get any food for seven days. BapDada does not wish to make you do this forcefully; you are easy yogis. Achcha.

To the fortunate souls everywhere who belong to the most elevated Bestower of Fortune, to those who constantly maintain the faith and intoxication of being conquerors of the mind and conquerors of the world, to the experienced souls who experience every virtue, every power and every point of knowledge, to the souls in the combined form who constantly keep the Father with them, to those who draw their line of elevated fortune easily, to such extremely close and elevated souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
