Brahma Kumaris

Today, the One who makes the world sparkle like a real diamond - the One who makes matter sparkle like a diamond; the One who, out of the souls of the entire world, makes His direct children become like diamonds; the One who is also the Father, and who establishes the new world - together with seeing the New Year and the New Age, is also seeing his children, who are about to become diamonds.

So many diamonds are sparkling in front of BapDada, in the corporeal form, and in all directions, in every corner of the world. The soul, the diamond sparkling in the centre of each one’s forehead, looks so beautiful! It is such a lovely scene of souls, the diamonds sparkling in front of Baba, and the beautiful scene of all the diamonds in all directions, sparkling all together.

So, what is this gathering of? It is a gathering of diamonds, is it not? Even though you may be number-wise, you are still sparkling. The gathering of the sparkling diamonds is in front of the Father. What are all of you seeing? Are you seeing the diamonds, or are you seeing the bodies? For 63 births you have been seeing the bodies, but can you now see the sparkling diamond within the body? Or, is it hidden? Can sometimes see it, and sometimes it is hidden?

This is the Diamond Jubilee: so what happens in a jubilee? What do you decorate in a jubilee? Nowadays, there is mostly the decoration of colourful lights. All of you also decorate the trees with lights everywhere, don’t you? Those people celebrate a jubilee for one day, or celebrate Christmas, or some other festival, but what are you celebrating? Do you call it a Diamond Day or a Diamond Year? (“Diamond Year”) Are you sure you are celebrating the Diamond Year? If it is everyone’s aim to be celebrating the Diamond Year, then, may there be a gulab jamun (sweet ball in syrup) in your mouth.

To celebrate means to become. So will you become a diamond throughout the year? Or will there sometimes be a little flaw in the diamond? Seeing the children’s zeal, BapDada is giving double multi-million-fold congratulations.

Today it is a double celebration: one is the New Year, and the other is the Diamond Jubilee. It is the gathering of both of these. So, in the Diamond Year, BapDada wishes to see this speciality, that whomever anyone sees is visible as a sparkling diamond: not a diamond in the mud, but a sparkling diamond. So, will you become such diamonds for the whole year? Because, you have to have the thought today, that you will become a diamond, and will see others as diamonds.

Even if a soul is black as coal - completely impure - what will you see? Will you see coal, or will you see a diamond? You will see diamonds. Achcha. As soon as your vision falls on that soul, his darkness will reduce. This is the service you have to do in the Diamond Jubilee, is it not? However many you come into contact and relationship with - from amrit vela until night time - you have to become a diamond, and see others as diamonds. Have you made this firm?

Or, will have two or three functions at every place - because you have to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee - and then think that the Diamond Jubilee is finished? Have functions, give invitations, awaken others. You have to do all this anyway, and you are doing it, but you must not just have functions. In this Diamond Jubilee, every day’s function is to become a diamond, to see others as diamonds, and to make them into diamonds. So, will you have a function every day or a function every two or four days, or every week?

This year, BapDada’s special hope -his elevated shrimat - for all the children is that you must not become anything except a diamond. No matter what happens, you must not allow there to be a flaw in the diamond. If you are influenced by any obstacle or by anyone’s nature, that would then be a flaw. There have to be obstacles. Should obstacles come? Should obstacles come or not? You have the title of being destroyers of obstacles, and only when the obstacles come can you destroy them!

If a victorious person says that an enemy should not come, but that he is victorious anyway, then would anyone believe him? No. How can you be victorious without an enemy? So, although the obstacles will come - whether from the elements, from other souls, or from many other situations - you are such powerful diamonds that you cannot be influenced by the flaws. Is this possible? Or will some flaw remain?

So the Diamond Jubilee Year is a great year. Just as a special month is celebrated, so, too, this Diamond Jubilee Year is a great year. This year, BapDada wishes to see everyone as walking, moving angels.

Many say that they try to look at the soul, but as the body is big while the soul is a tiny point, they can only see the body. Yes, the soul is a tiny point, and BapDada agrees that the point may slip away, but the angelic form is still in the shape of the physical form of the body - it is not in the form of a point. An angel means one with a body (form) of light. So, perform every action while stable in the angelic form. Are you able to do perform actions in the angelic form? Yes: you do not need to have a corporeal form.

You have had love for the physical body for many births. So, even though you wish to forget it, you are unable to do so. So the Father says: Okay, since you have the habit of seeing the body, it doesn’t matter; now simply look at the body of light. Since you need a body, an angel is also a bodily form.

All of you say that you have a lot of love for Shiv Baba and Brahma Baba. So, the meaning of love is to become the same (equal). So, just as Brahma Baba is in the angelic form, in the same way, stabilize yourself in the angelic form - the same as Father Brahma - when you perform actions.

Since you are celebrating the Diamond Jubilee - 60 years of establishment have been completed - and although Father Shiva is of course instrumental for establishment, Brahma Baba became the instrument. You don’t call yourselves Shiva Kumars or Shiva Kumaris.. You call yourselves Brahma Kumars and Brahma Kumaris. So, you are celebrating the jubilee of the task of establishment by Brahma Baba.

So, what would you give to the person whose jubilee you are celebrating? (“A gift”) So, will all of you bring gifts? Or will you bring a rose, and say that this gift is sufficient? Someone may bring an elephant, someone may bring a horse, but these gifts are just for entertainment. This entertainment is very good, and everyone is happy to see them. Here a horse is dancing, there a doll is dancing: everyone is happy to see the toys. You may bring them, but what gift would you give to Father Brahma, that he would like? Whenever you give a gift to someone, you first see what that person would like: you first find out if that person would like it or not. So, what does Brahma Baba love? What gift does he like? The gift that the father would like is the walking, moving angelic form. So become like an angel.

In your angelic form, no type of obstacle will influence you. Your thoughts, attitude and vision will all become double light. So, are you ready to give this gift? (“Ha ji.”) Just be careful, because all of this is being recorded. It is good that you will become angels to bring about the golden world. So, just as the diamonds are sparkling, in the same way, your angelic form will also sparkle. Continue to practise this very well.

As soon as you wake up at amrit vela, bring into your awareness: “Who am I? I am an angel”. You have the thought that you are an angel, and you wish to become that. However, when you see your own result, or when you write to Baba, the majority of you say that you weren’t able to do it to the extent that you wished to do it. You were able to achieve it by 50% or 60%. So, will you have such a percentage in the Diamond Jubilee Year too, or will you achieve it fully? What will it be?

Double foreigners speak! Will there be a percentage! Say “yes” or “no”! Should you be allowed a little freedom? Shaktis, would you have a percentage? You are not saying “yes” with enthusiasm. You are replying after thinking about it. Double foreigners and Bharatwasis: if you pass fully - not to a percentage - then do you know what Brahma Baba will do? He will pat you on the back and say: “Well done!”. What else would he do?

Every day at amrit vela, he will merge you in his arms. You will feel that you are swinging in super-sensuous happiness in Brahma Baba’s arms. You will receive a big hug from him. Brahma Baba has a lot of love for the children, and so, at amrit vela, you will receive a hug from him. And what will you receive throughout the day? It is shown in a picture of Krishna that a storm came, and the flood water overflowed, so a snake became a canopy of protection. They have shown the physical aspect about Shri Krishna, but, in fact, it is a spiritual aspect. So, if any situation arises, or any obstacle comes in front of those who become angels, then the Father himself will become your canopy of protection. Just try it and see. BapDada is not just saying this for the sake of it. Achcha.

Those children who are celebrating their Diamond Jubilee, raise their hands! BapDada is now speaking to those who are celebrating their Diamond Jubilee. You did yoga and tapasya for 14 years, and how many obstacles came in the way? Did anything happen to you? So, BapDada became your canopy of protection, did he not? So many big things came in front of you - the whole world, the leaders, the rulers, the gurus, all became anti, and you Brahma Kumaris remained so firm. You even experienced the “beggary” life in a practical way.

At the time of tapasya, you also witnessed different obstacles: there were guns as well as swords. All sort of things came in front of you, but there was always the canopy of protection. Was any damage done? The people of the world left everything behind, and ran away during the upheaval. What happened at the time of the partition of Bharat? Everyone ran away, and your tennis court was filled with so many things that it became full. They had to leave the things they loved, because of fear. They had a lot of love for those things. At that time, the Sindhi community was against you: they insulted you, but they also gave you their belongings and begged you to use whatever beautiful things they had. For the people of the world it was upheaval, whereas the Brahma Kumaris used to get a whole bullock-cart of vegetables for five rupees. All those vegetables for just five rupees! You used to eat those vegetables with so much pleasure. So the people of the world were afraid, and you were dancing.

So, you saw practically how both Bap and Dada carried out the task of establishment as your canopy of protection with such safety. Now you can experience this also - you first! Whatever you want, to whatever extent you want, you can have the practical experience of Brahma Baba’s love, and the canopy of protection in this year of the Diamond Jubilee. This year has this blessing and easy attainment. You will not have to make a lot of effort: you get tired of making effort. When someone has become tired of making effort, BapDada also sees that one’s face and has a lot of compassion for that one.

So, what will you now do? What will you become? Angels! To move and walk in the angelic form is to become a diamond. What is the sign of the most expensive, invaluable flawless diamond? When you place it in front of a light, it will sparkle brightly, and rays will emanate from it. Rays of many colours will be visible from it. So, when you become real diamonds - when you become angels - the eight powers will be visible from your angelic forms. Just as those rays of colours are visible, in the same way, you have to become diamonds: that is, the form of angels.

So, as you walk, and as you move, others will experience the rays of the eight powers. Some will feel the power of tolerance from you, others will feel the power of decision making. Some will have one feeling, and others will have another feeling. Practise this: for instance, the New Year begins tomorrow, and the Diamond Jubilee also begins tomorrow; so, from tomorrow - that is, in the month of January - practise the angelic form. If you practice this in the first month, then your practice will increase further in the second month, and further still in the third month. The more you practice this, the more others will get the feeling from you. Will all of you give this gift? Or will only some of you give it?

Achcha, those from Madhuban will give a gift, will you not? Those from Madhuban are clever in saying “Ha ji”. Those from Gyan Sarovar (who are listening to the murli also) will become angels, and all those sitting in the cabins who are translating, and providing light and sound, all have become double light angels. You do not find it difficult, do you? You have had love for the body for 63 births, so will it not be difficult? For those who have determined faith, victory cannot be prevented, even if the five elements - or however many souls - oppose you. And they will oppose you, but because you have firm faith, you will be able to face their opposition with the power to accommodate. This has been the wonder from the beginning, of Father Brahma and the special children, in the 60 years of establishment. You never had any fluctuation in your faith. Brahma Baba’s words were always: “Victory is guaranteed”.

So today, Brahma Baba especially gave a lot of love and congratulations to all the children. No matter how many of you there are, whether you are 400,000 or 1.4 million, Brahma Baba’s arms are so big that all of you can merge in his arms at the same time. This is why, on the path of bhakti, they show the huge-form image of God in which everyone is merged. So, all of you are merged in Brahma Baba’s arms no matter what happens. Just as a little child goes and hides in his mother’s or father’s arms, so you should do the same. You are still children are you not? Or have you grown up? In front of the Father, someone who is a hundred years old is still a little child. So, no matter what happens to you, just go and merge in Brahma Baba’s arms - that is all. This is easy, isn’t it?

You are sitting here in the old year, but are celebrating the new year. How will you bid farewell to the old year? Will you just sing songs, dance, and have fun? The year is finishing - it is taking its leave from you - it will come back after 5000 years, and not before that. Generally you give a farewell gift to whoever takes leave from you, so what will you give? Your old things your weaknesses? BapDada has seen that you give your weaknesses, but you then take them back. Look - the year doesn’t return - it is very wise - it doesn’t come back for 5000 years. So why do you take back the old things? You say “we let go of them but they don’t let go of us”. If a thorn came at you, flying through the air, would you keep it or would you throw it away? Would you keep it as a decoration in the cupboard? No - you would throw it away and would not want to see it again. So why do you take this back? Does BapDada tell you to take it back - do you have this shrimat? Bid farewell. If you let go, you will become free.

Don’t allow your faith to fluctuate. You say “so what if it happened? It will happen, because the 2000 years have not yet ended. Everything will be all right by 2000”. This is carelessness in faith. BapDada has not given you the date 2000. So do not keep waiting for the year 2000 - let the new world be ready before that time.

Why do you forget you are a soul? You begin something with good thoughts, but whilst working, the thought of the soul merges. You mind and intellect become very busy in your task. Your hands have to function anyway, but you also engage your mind and intellect, and make them busy as well. If not body consciousness, this is action consciousness. If something happened at that time what would the result be? Being action conscious is not the same as being soul conscious. So revise your consciousness again and again, until you become naturally soul conscious. Check - “what have I accumulated?”. At least accumulate enough to go into the golden age. The sun dynasty souls will take the first period of happiness, and those of the moon dynasty will receive the left-overs later on.

BapDada checked everyone’s chart. Totally, 50% of the children have been seeing others, and have been careless. In some cases, even very good children become careless. BapDada is amused on seeing how if one person stumbles, the other also becomes careless and experiences the same thing. Is this being sensible? The repentance for being careless is very very severe. BapDada sees everything - how you follow others in going down. BapDada feels a lot of mercy the moments of repentance will be so difficult. So, in this old year, bid farewell from your heart to the wave of carelessness, and the wave of looking at others.

It has been seen that the older ones have greater carelessness. The initial force and zeal do not last long. There is carelessness in the study, also - you feel you have heard and understood everything. Just think about it - if you had understood everything, BapDada would have finished the education - you would have finished the study. Bid farewell to this carelessness for good. Do not look at others, but look at the Father. Look at father Brahma.

To all the real sparkling diamonds in all directions.. to those who make themselves and others into real diamonds, with faith and determined thoughts.. to the elevated souls who stabilise themselves in the double-light angelic form, the same as BapDada.. to the conquerors of Maya, and so the conquerors of the fortune of the world, who remain busy in remembrance and service.. to such Confluence-Aged diamonds: love, remembrance, and namaste, from BapDada.
