Brahma Kumaris

Today, BapDada is looking at all those who are the children of the Father, those who are special souls. Whether they are from Bharat or from foreign lands, whatever corner they may be in, BapDada sees all the special souls as being very close to him. BapDada is happy to see His special children, just as you children are happy to see the Father. This is why you come running here.

No matter how many miracles the scientists show - even though they may have reached the moon - in front of the special children of the Father, they are ignorant. They know the five elements, and have even attained victory over them, but have they come to know about even a tiny point of light, the soul? Here, even if you ask a little child they will say “I am a soul” and they would even show you where the soul resides. But ask a scientist “what is a soul?” - he does not yet know the soul. So, in terms of the great history, and in terms of this world, you are special. A five year-old child is more special than one who does not know the soul.

At the beginning, you all had a very intoxicating song: no matter how great a lord or a merchant, a leader or an actor, someone may be, if he doesn’t know Alpha, if he doesn’t know himself, what does he know? So, you are such special souls. A mahatma would say that it is very difficult to attain God, but here you old mothers say you have attained God. They may continue to search for God, but you have attained God. So what is the mahatma compared to you?

Householders say they sleep on a double bed, yet are still pure - even whilst living together, the Father is in between you. A mahatma would say it is impossible for fire and cotton wool to live together. You say it is easy - you say with intoxication that purity is your original religion. Whatever belongs to the self is easy to follow.

Some children say that for one year until they meet the Father, they remain all right, as everyone knows that discipline is a must. However once they have been to Madhuban and seen it, they become careless on their return. But just think about it - to who did you make the promise of purity? To the Father. It is the Father’s order. If you become careless after having made a promise to the Father, who would experience the loss? It is those who are weak who experience loss, whereas in the Brahmin family, when one leaves, ten others come.

The new children who have come here for the first time, raise your hands. There are many of you. It is a matter of great fortune that you have reached the Father’s home. Continue to increase your fortune. Achcha. Teachers have also come. So everyone’s name is included in the register. Which centre does not keep a register of those who are present? Teachers be honest. Sometimes they may have fallen asleep - sometimes they may have not been well - sometimes they may have not been able to attend class - does this get noted daily?

After three or four months, all the new ones you bring here, whether brothers or sisters, are initially intoxicated, and then the intoxication gradually wears off. And so, after three or four months, check whether they come regularly, or if they have gone touring somewhere. Many do go on tours - they go on the pilgrimage of Maya for two years, and then come back. Only those who remain eternally receive an eternal reward.

Completion will take place at the same time for all of you - destruction will take place at the same time. The board for being late has been put up, but the board for being too late has not yet been put up. So, all of you are lucky. Simply continue to move forward, whilst keeping your fortune in your awareness. Do not get involved in other matters.

BapDada sees why children’s time for making effort goes to waste. Everyone wants their time to be used in a worthwhile way, but in-between, sometimes half an hour, sometimes fifteen minutes, sometimes five minutes are wasted. There are three reasons for this.

One is, whilst moving along, you mix the dictates of other souls with shrimat. Just as you love listening to news of the world, you also love listening to news of the Brahmin world. So you listen to others, and merge what you hear in yourself. Now, of course, it may be true news - not all of it is false - some may even be honest. But, what is the Father’s direction? Is it Baba’s order that you may listen to such news? No. Whatever you have no connection with, if you cannot do anything about it, it is a waste of your time. Why did you mix the dictates of others with the shrimat received from the Father? The Father’s direction is that, whilst listening, you should not hear. So why have you instilled the habit of hearing it?

However, if you do listen to them, and you are able to do something about it, then do it. When you listen to them, you should have the courage to apply a full stop, in them, and in yourself, for all time. If you have this much power, then it is not listening to them, but you are bringing benefit to them. However, the majority of you collect rubbish, and little by little this affects your behaviour and activity. And there will be heaviness, and no feeling of serving that soul. This is known as mixing the dictates of others with shrimat. Is this clear?

The second aspect is thinking about others. If you hear something from one person, do not relate that to nine or ten others - this should not happen - this is thinking about others. If you tell four people something about someone, you spoil the feelings of four people for that person. And once the thinking of others starts, it becomes very fast, and carries on for a long time. BapDada tells you that, in order to make someone interested in listening to knowledge, you should relate the knowledge in the form of a story. Their interest will increase as the story unfolds - they will ask what happens next. In the same way, there is interest in the stories you tell about others - they will ask you what happened next. And so the story becomes a very long one.

BapDada sees and hears whatever is in everyone’s heart. No matter how you try to hide it, BapDada sees and knows everything, though he does not reveal it openly in public. BapDada has a register of how many times you did something, what you did, and when you did it. It is just that sometimes he has to keep quiet.

Someone who thinks about others will not have thoughts of the eternal self. When anything happens, they will blame others for their own mistake. And those who think about others are number one in making up stories. They will prove themselves right in such a way that even the seniors who hear them will have to remain silent. Having thoughts of the original self does not mean repeating, raising, or hearing, points of knowledge - it means to finish your own subtle weaknesses and your little mistakes, by thinking about them, and then transforming them. All of you are very clever in hearing and relating gyan, or churning gyan. But the deep meaning of having thoughts of the original self is to be thinking about the original self, and to transform the self. It is to bring about transformation - do not just think “I am yours and your are mine”.

When the final result is announced, the first marks will be of your being a practical embodiment of dharna. Those who are an embodiment of dharna will be natural yogis anyway. So check what you relate to others about values. There is one mark for service, but ten marks for being an embodiment of dharna.

Service is a very good means of keeping the intellect busy, but if it brings fluctuations then there is no fruit from it. True service done with love, and with everyone’s blessing, gives the instant practical fruit of happiness. If there is ill feeling whilst doing service, then that is like flu. Someone with flu goes to sleep - he will not eat anything. When someone has ill feeling, he will stop eating or will sulk. A true server will be an embodiment of dharna, and will not do service out of selfish motives, such as glorification of their name, or to be kept at the front.

Service will come to those who are true servers - you will not have to chase after service. If you receive no service to do, you should still serve with your face and with your behaviour - they should remind others of the Father - this is the foremost service. You have to be such serviceable souls who have no selfish motives. Do not think you should be given a chance - this is also selfishness. Even if your name is not well known in the Brahmin family, Baba has your name. Since your name is in Baba’s heart, what more do you want? BapDada keeps the final account, and when the final number is given, if you are a good server, your number will be ahead. If you were not given a chance, that is also noted. If you asked for a chance, and did something, you lost some marks by doing that. The account of Dharamraj is no less. It is a very subtle account. You have to be an altruistic server - your motive should be to bring benefit. If you give your chance to someone else, then you will share in what they do. So, understand the account. The account book is very subtle. The Father does not have to do anything. Everything is automatic. Sometimes BapDada looks at the account book - the first aspect is following the dictates of others, and the second aspect is thinking about others.

The third aspect is looking at others. The majority of you are very clever at looking at others. When you look at others, it enters your intellect. How can those who use their time in looking at others have time to look at their own self? Many children see and hear many things which should not happen. It is right to say they should not happen, but why spend time on this? All of them are a test paper. The greater the study, the harder the paper. It is all right to look and listen if it is your responsibility and you have benevolent feelings. But otherwise it is wrong to create an upheaval in your own stage. If you have a responsibility, then before taking on that responsibility, make your brake very powerful. Before you climb a hill you are warned in advance to check your brakes. Check whether you are able to apply a dot in one second. If it is a question mark then your time and energy are wasted. First of all, make your brake powerful. You saw something, you heard something, and applied a full stop. If you have such a stage, then take on that responsibility. Otherwise, see but do not see, hear but do not hear. Maintain thoughts of the original self. There is benefit in this.

Finish these three types of things to do with others, and instead do one thing: uplift others. Be one who uplifts everyone. This is not easy - BapDada thinks that it is difficult. But if you have courage then what is a battle? Even a battle becomes entertainment, like a boxing fight - they fight so much with each other and yet for them it is a sport, and those who watch think that it is entertainment.

BapDada is telling you in advance what reduces your marks, and what accumulates them - so at that time you will not be able to say you did not know this. Anyone can claim a high number - apart from Brahma Baba and Jagadamba, the seats are not yet fixed - all the other seats are empty, and anyone can claim a seat. Even those who are one year old can claim it.

BapDada is happy to see the Kumars and the Kumaris, but he is afraid of one little thing - there should only be one Father and none other, not even a little bit belonging to someone else. To need the support of another is great Maya. Like the story of the alligator and the elephant, it eats you little by little and then it swallows you up completely, and you won’t even realise it.

For the new ones, the murli is very deep, but in the Diamond Jubilee. BapDada wishes to free all of you from everything. If you do not do this he will have to take on the form of Dharamraj. At the moment, Baba is telling you with love. Why should you not become free whilst there is still the form of the Father? The older ones think that BapDada should do something so that everyone becomes all right. But Baba does not want this. Baba does not want to be taking the form of Dharamraj. He can punish everyone internally in one second, and that punishment would be very intense. But BapDada does not want this. The form of the Father is very loving. If Dharamraj becomes his companion, he will not listen to anything. Do you understand?

To all the special souls from all directions of the world, who constantly have thoughts of the original self - to the elevated souls who constantly churn the knowledge - to the close souls whose every thought word and deed is according to the shrimat of the Father - to the special souls form all four directions who make themselves and service move forward in the Diamond Jubilee - to such special souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.

(Dadis): You are the special decoration of the divine family. BapDada loves each child more than the next. It is not that he has more love for the Dadis and less for the teachers or the students. He has love for everyone and does not wish to see the children lacking in anything - this is why he gives these teachings. For whom is there greater love? For everyone. Even though BapDada cannot make everyone sit close to him, and he cannot mention everyone’s name, everyone is in his heart. All of you are close to the heart. Do you understand? Achcha.
