In order to maintain the intoxication of being the childwho is also the master,
be the king of the mind, the horse.

Today, Baba, the Master of the World, is seeing the children in all four directions who are also masters as well as children. You are a child as well as a master. You will become the masters of the world in the future, but, at this time, you are the masters of all of Baba's treasures. You will claim the right to the kingdom of the world in the future, but you now have the right to self­sovereignty. This is why you are a child and a master; both together. The intoxication of being a child constantly remains. BapDada has seen that, for the majority, the intoxication of the state of childhood remains either in a merged or an emerged form. If you sit in remembrance even now, what would it be that you remember? Baba. When you think 'Baba' or say this word, you are a child. This is why you say 'Baba'. What is it that emerges again and again from the lips of the true servers? "Baba said this, Baba said that". Throughout the day, check and see how many times you use the word 'Baba' in service. However, there are two forms of saying this word 'Baba'. One is to say 'Baba' from the heart, and the other form is of those who say this from their head of knowledge. For those who say 'Baba' from the heart, there is constantly and easily the visible attainment of happiness and power received from Baba in the heart. Those who say the word 'Baba' on the basis of knowledge ­ because they have a good head filled with knowledge ­ experience happiness at the moment of speaking; and those who listen also experience happiness at that moment. At that moment, it feels good, but the happiness and power in the heart don't remain all the time. It stays sometimes and not at other times. Why? Because they didn't say 'Baba' from the heart. BapDada saw that everyone has the faith of being a child, but sometimes there is intoxication and sometimes there isn't. The majority have the faith that they belong to Baba, that they are the children. But, in fact, you are not only a child but a child who is also a master. You are double. To be a master means firstly to be a master with the right of self­sovereignty and secondly, to make all of Baba's treasures belong to oneself as one's inheritance; that these are one's own. Baba is the Bestower, but is it only that Baba has given or is it that you are the master of the inheritance? Has everyone received the inheritance? Have some received less and some more? Has everyone received the same amount? Or, is it that someone received ten million and someone else received a hundred million? It isn't like that, is it? Because Baba's treasures are unlimited, no matter how much maybe distributed, Baba's treasures are not going to reduce. The treasure­store is open and full. So, why should Baba give anyone less? Since it is all for the children anyway, why should He give more to some and less to others? So, firstly, the master with the right to the Father's inheritance, and secondly, the master of self­sovereignty. Have you received self­sovereignty? Are you masters of both? Are you masters? Is it firm? So, BapDada was seeing how long you maintain the stage of mastery. How long do you move in the awareness of being the master? What was seen? You say: "Self­sovereignty is our birthright". You say this don't you? Is it the birthright of the maharathis, but only a little bit yours? Is it yours fully? Does it belong fully to the mothers? Have you Pandavs received the full right of self­sovereignty or have you only received a little? Stay firm on this, stay firm on being complete. So check this. All the sense organs of the self should be the workers of the children who have claimed the right of self­sovereignty. They are your workers, are they not? They are not the master are they? You are the master; is that right? Or, is it that the workers become the master and you become the worker? BapDada saw that the aspect which most of all makes the children forget the stage of being a master, and which controls the king from time to time, is the mind. This is why Baba has given the mantra 'Manmanabhav'. Not to focus the body on God (Tanmanabhav); not to focus the wealth on God (Dhanmanabhav); nor even to focus the intellect on God (Buddhi Manabhav), but 'Manmanabhav' ­ to focus the mind on God.

The mind exerts its own influence; you become influenced by the mind. Just see: in any little wasteful incident or wasteful atmosphere, or wasteful scene, where is the first influence felt? There is the influence on the mind. The intellect then co­operates with it, and if mind and intellect move in that direction, it becomes a sanskar. Even now, check yourself: How was my wasteful sanskar created? For example, if a sanskar has been created, so that within a second, the mind has bad feelings over a little incident, how was that sanskar created? And then, you say 'I don't want it. I think about it, and yet it happens'. This is described as the influence of sanskars. For some, within a little while, the mind shrinks. They see a little, hear a little and the mind shrinks. And, if you ask them, what would they say? They say, 'It's nothing; this is my sanskar; it will be OK; it's my sanskar'. But, how was it created? The sanskar was created on the basis of the mind and intellect. There are a variety of sanskars which are not Brahmin sanskars. BapDada believes that if any of you were asked, 'Who are you?', you would say, 'I am a Brahma Kumar or Kumari'. What is a child of Brahma? Brahmin. But at the moment when you are influenced by wasteful sanskars, are you a Brahma Kumar Brahmin or a warrior? Who are you at that time? A Brahmin or a warrior? When you battle with yourself, 'Not this, not this', are you a Brahmin or a warrior? Some children say, 'I don't know why, but my mind has lost its happiness for the last two days'. Internally, they understand but externally, they say 'I don't know'. But, what are they for those two days; Brahmins or warriors? If someone's happiness disappears, is that one a Brahmin? Or, is it that sometimes he is a warrior and sometimes a Brahmin? You all said that you are masters. You said this didn't you? Sure? So, what happens at that time? Are you masters or are you under an influence?

BapDada saw that, in particular, it is the mind that shakes the stage of the master. You are the ruler with the right of self­sovereignty and the mind is your minister. Or, is the mind the master and you are its minister? You are the king, are you not? The mind is not the king. It is your minister; it co­ operates with you. To be constantly the master of the mind is described as having the right of self­sovereignty. If not, then you have the right sometimes and at other times you are dependent. What is the reason for this? Why does transformation not take place? Even though you understand, why are you still influenced by the sanskar? So, today, BapDada has explained how sanskars are created. Therefore, first control the mind. You call yourself a king but the significance of a king is to be one who has ruling power. If there is the title 'king' but there isn't ruling power, what would the situation be? Could the kingdom function? It could not. Do you have ruling power? To what extent? Check what the percentage is of your ruling power.

There is a mistake which often takes place and which doesn't allow you to have victory over your sanskars; it takes a lot of time. You think, 'I won't do this from tomorrow', but when tomorrow comes, tomorrow has made the situation bigger than today. And then you say, 'Yesterday the situation was minor, but today it has become very big'. 'Because it is such a big situation, a little mistake happened. I will put it right later'. You offer seniors and your own heart this artificial hope, and you continue to move with this artificial hope. But, in fact, this isn't support, this is deception. You think at that time that it is fine to give the self and others this hope for a little while, that it will soon be OK. But, in this way, you reinforce the habit of deceiving yourself. You don't realise it at that time, but when you are deceived in reality afterwards, then you realise that yes, this was deception. So, what was the mistake? What is it, whether you are young or old, that you say when you teach each other? 'This is my nature, this is my sanskar'. For some, it is that of ill feeling, for others, it is to step aside, for some, to gossip again and again, for others, to listen to gossip. There are a variety. You know all this even more than the Father. But, BapDada is asking you: That which you call 'my' sanskar, is it truly 'mine': Whose is it? (Ravan's.) So, why do you call it 'mine'?

You never say it is Ravan's sanskar; you say it is 'my' sanskar. This word 'my' creates slackness in effort. Why do you hide within yourself Ravan's things? People burn Ravan. They kill him and then burn him. And, after something is burnt, whatever remains is then immersed in water. And you have kept it belonging to you! Ravan's things exist there; so how can clean sanskars stay together with that which is unclean? Can they stay? Who will rule? That which is unclean, not that which is clean. The kingdom is unclean and you have carefully kept unclean things with yourself, just as you keep gold or diamonds carefully. Because there is a battle of the 'unclean' with the 'clean' you repeatedly become a warrior instead of a Brahmin. What are 'my' sanskars? Baba's sanskars. In particular, world benefactor; the one with good wishes for all, the one who has good wishes and pure feelings for all. These are 'my' original sanskars, the rest are not 'mine'. Whatever un cleanliness you have hidden inside, it interferes with your becoming completely clean. This is what you wish to become. You have the aim, but it becomes different in practice.

The majority have the thought; many have had the thought and have also written that during the Diamond Jubilee they must become a diamond like the Father. Is this your thought, or do you want to think further? If you want to think about it more, then think about it, but then the number will be behind. It has been said, 'Each of you receives to the extent that you do', not that each of you receives to the extent that you think. You have very good thoughts. BapDada is happy reading them or listening to them. However, Ravan's things that you have secretly hidden don't allow you to be the master of your mind. If you keep Ravan's property with yourself in your heart ­ 'my habit, my nature, my sanskar' ­ where would the Comforter of Hearts sit? Would He sit on top of Ravan's inheritance? And so, now erase this. When you say this word 'my', remember what is 'my' nature. Even the people of the world call the mind a horse and say that it runs a great deal, that it runs very fast. But, should yours be running? You have the strong reins of shrimat. If the reins are accurate, there can be no upheaval. But, what happens? BapDada sees and laughs at how, when you are riding the vehicle, the reins are in your hands and, as you move along, at what happens when the mind and intellect that hold the reins get distracted by side­scenes. The reins become slack. If the reins are slack, then the mind definitely plays mischief. So constantly keep the reins of shrimat in your internal awareness. In any situation, if the mind plays mischief, tighten the reins of shrimat; then nothing will happen and you will reach the destination. Shrimat applies at each step, not just for brahmacharya. Shrimat has been given for every action: to move, to eat, to drink, to listen, to speak. Shrimat applies to everything. Is that not right? For example, if you were gossiping, is this shrimat? If shrimat slackens, the mind has a chance to play mischief, and it then develops the habit. Who instilled the habit? You did yourself. So, first be the ruler of the mind and check whether the minister is establishing his own incognito kingdom inside. Just as, nowadays, a separate group is created within a kingdom and they claim power; they try to usurp the present ones, so the mind does the same. It even makes the intellect belong to itself. It makes the lips and the ears belong to it. So check every day. Ask for news: Hey minister mind, what did you do, did you create any deception? Internally, it may create an incognito group and make you become the slave instead of the ruler. Don't allow that to happen. Just see; in the beginning, Father Brahma used to hold a court everyday in which he would ask for news of the co­operative companions. In the beginning, this was Father Brahma's timetable every day. You have heard about this haven't you. Father Brahma also made this effort; he paid attention to this and so he was able to become the one with the right of self­sovereignty and therefore the right to the kingdom of the world. Father Shiva is incorporeal but Father Brahma made effort like you throughout his life and attained his reward. And so, follow Father Brahma. This mind is very mischievous and very fast. Within a second, it can take you on a journey through all foreign lands. So, what did you hear? The child and the master.

Don't just be happy that you have become a child, that you have received the inheritance. For, if you don't become the master of the inheritance, what is the purpose of being a child? The significance of being a child is to also be the master. Also be the master of self­sovereignty. Don't be happy just seeing the inheritance but claim the right of self­sovereignty. The eyes are just tiny points, but even they deceive you. You are not the master; this is why you were deceived. BapDada wishes to see all the children as rulers with the right of self­sovereignty. Ones with the right can never be dependent. Did you understand?

What will you become? The child and the master. What will the ones behind be? Speak loudly! The child and the master. What will the mothers become? The child and the master. Leave behind Ravan's things here in the hall! This is a place of tapasya. Tapasya is described as fire; they will finish in the fire.

BapDada has seen that children still have love for Ravan. Do you have love? You don't want it with your heart, butit is still there. Now finish it! What will the teachers do? Will you leave it behind here or throw it away in the train. Because, if you have had something for sixty­three births, there must be a little love for it. What will the Pandavs do? Will you leave it here or will you leave it down below at Abu Road? Leave it here before you go. Are you ready to leave it? Your 'yes' is very slack. BapDada checks different aspects of the children every day. What needs to be changed has to be checked; then it can change.

Achcha, this is an extra chance that has been given. Those who have come for the first time, raise your hands! Newones and old ones have received this unexpected lottery. A lottery that comes unexpectedly has great importance. Always apply this lottery in practical action and move forward. The more you use all this for yourself and for the task, the more you will progress. So, continue to increase this and never forget this day of the lottery. Always remember it.

To the kumaris: Achcha, all the kumaris who have come, raise your hands! Not the teachers, just the kumaris. Whatwill the kumaris do? The significance of being a kumari is to be one who shows wonders (kamal). You must show wonders. What wonders will you show? Whenever BapDada sees a kumari, He sees her with the vision that this kumari will show wonders. No matter what the kumari may do, BapDada always has the pure hope and desire that each kumari will show wonders. What will the kumaris do? Kumaris are free from many bondages. If there is a good kumari and effort is good, she can receive a centre. Firstly, there is the fortune of being a server at a centre. Then, being at a centre, she is not alone, for there are companions. Kumars have to cook food for themselves alone, and kumaris may have to cook in turn, but many become helpers for one another. And, secondly, they don't have to worry about earning an income. If a kumar comes to you (to Dadi) will you free him from his job? You will say, 'Keep your job!' It is the luck of the kumaris that you tell them, 'Leave your jobs and come'! The kumari herself may have attachment to either her study or her job, but then, that is her fortune. However, kumaris have a good chance. And, how much chance is there for service? You can do however much you wish to.

Father Brahma is speaking to the old children. When anyone said, 'There is no service, I do a great deal but there is no service visible, I don't find anyone to serve', Father Brahma used to say to them: If there is a jungle and a hunter says there is no prey, would that be possible? The hunter doesn't have the power to recognise, doesn't have the sharp eyes that are needed with which to see. It isn't possible that there would be no prey in a jungle. The quantity is increasing; whether in a little village or a big city, everywhere the quantity is increasing. How could it be possible that the quantity increases and there is no service? The method of doing hasn't been understood. Kumaris must do the special service of making the self free from bondage. First, make yourself free from bondage.

Kumaris are afraid of staying at a centre, whereas kumars have the desire to stay at a centre. What is the reason? Souls are weak. Everything is numberwise anyway, and so, when you see the weaknesses of weak souls, there is distress. You don't see the good ones; you follow the weak ones. This is why BapDada has said: See the Father and Mother, follow the Father and Mother; do not follow the weak ones. There should be a surge of enthusiasm in the hearts of the kumaris. 'I only want to serve and become a star of success in service'. Not weak!

To the kumars: Kumars will also receive a chance. When service increases a great deal and all souls have to be given the message, what would just a few souls be able to do? You people will get the chance, but you have to prepare yourselves beforehand. Teachers have to conduct the seven days' course, but you should be able to give an introduction within a second through your vision and attitude. Kumars have to serve in this way. BapDada is telling you openly why it is that kumars cannot be kept at a centre. What is the reason? The Dadis are afraid. And, sometimes, there is damage in a practical form. It isn't just that there is fear; but that it also happens. If kumars become firm yogis, if there is no attention to anything even slightly other than the soul, kumars could receive many service centres. However, there is the fear of damage. Because Ravan's things are still inside, there is fear. Kumaris have done service for many years, but kumars will do fast service. You will get a very good chance. But prepare yourself beforehand. First, let the Dadis become carefree. Where kumars and kumaris stay together, there is fear. The situation abroad is different. There, a female is female and a male is also female (used to looking after the household). The situation abroad is different. However, in Bharat, if there are two or three brothers running a centre, then, at first, people wouldn't do anything except simply debate. And, if they get angry they would even take a stick to you. And so, prepare yourself; you will receive a great deal of service. Just as the kumaris have a chance to serve, so too, if you become firm yogis, within a short time, your account can accumulate just as much. But first, give BapDada a guarantee from the heart. BapDada won't accept paper. You write on paper with blood. Not even water or ink; you write with blood. Yet, still, after a month, a kumar takes a partner and comes. Such a guarantee is not wanted! However, if BapDada sees that in the Diamond Jubilee, kumars are making number one effort in a very good way, then kumars can bring time very close. Time will come close and your service will become vast. But BapDada checks in the subtle region every day; it is not that whatever anyone says here can be accepted. Baba checks in a practical form. Let us see if kumars can claim the first number. Did you understand? Kumars raise your hands! There are many; it is good. Kumars are clever in giving the message. Just see; if there is a centre without kumars, service doesn't expand. Teachers, is that right? Do the teachers say that some should be sent on service? Kumars are doing service even now. Just simply have the firm faith that you are yogi souls; constant yogis. Then, thoughts should not be drawn to the body even in dreams. Then, kumars will do wonders. Achcha.

To the householders: Householders raise your hands! There are many. BapDada has a pure desire for the householders, which householders haven't yet fulfilled. What is that? Many mothers are needed for service. Where there is a mother, the Dadis become carefree. However, very few mothers have emerged from the household. Just as you have training for kumaris, in the same way, give mothers fifteen days training and then send them on trial for service for one, two or three months. In whichever part of Bharat you mothers are, make yourselves free. In any way possible, mothers should come forward for service for two months, four months, six months, and you will do a great deal of service. Now, there are many invitations for centres, yet they cannot open. Why? According to the present time, little kumaris cannot be kept alone. If there were mothers available, you would see how many centres could open within a month. However, mothers don't have such courage as yet. There is some bondage or another; a grandson, the husband, etc. Mothers should have great force.

Look after your household but be companions for each other, helpers for each other and go away for two or three months. And, once there is the taste for service, this will automatically make you free from bondage. So, mothers and Pandavs in the household have to become helpers for each other in whatever way possible so that the mothers are liberated for service. As yet, the householders haven't fulfilled this desire of Baba's. Do this in the Diamond Jubilee. Did the householders understand? Achcha.

Double foreigners: Double foreigners, raise your hands! Just see: double foreigners have had a chance of coming for the full season. There hasn't been any group where there weren't double foreigners. This is also an extra chance for the double foreigners. Do you enjoy coming in this season? Is there pleasure in coming in the Indian season? Just see, foreign lands anyway have to be merged within the land of Bharat. In satyug, America and London will not exist, they will be merged in Bharat. The world will have become one. Double foreign lands and Bharat won't be separate. East and West will come together and become one world. So, this will happen later anyway and so you are claiming your right from now. It is good. The people of Bharat are happy, you people are also happy, both are happy. Service news of foreign lands comes from all directions, and the result is that zeal and enthusiasm everywhere is good; results are also good. In certain places, the number of students has increased in classes; this is also the success of service. Do you understand? To those who have sent letters of service news, letters about their own stage, letters of enthusiasm for the Diamond Jubilee, to all, BapDada gives multifold love and remembrance multiplied by more than a million times. Students are increasing in foreign lands, are they not? You have come from all the different corners of the foreign lands, and this year, this land and foreign lands are making a programme together. This is very good. By coming together in this way with one idea, you will constantly move forward.

Which is the biggest group that has come this time from Bharat? Karnataka. Those from Karnataka, raise your hands! Achcha. Karnataka has had a very good lottery, number one lottery. Secondly, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal, raise your hands! You have also come, but Karnataka has received a greater lottery. Achcha. Eastern Zone, raise your hands! Achcha, Nepal is in the majority. Nepal has also received a greater lottery. Achcha. Bombay, Maharashtra, raise your hands! Achcha, this group is less but still, you have had a chance, and so that is also a matter for happiness. Tamil Nadu and Kerala have been visible in every turn. There hasn't been extra hospitality for Tamil, has there? BapDada has seen that, out of all the groups, the majority were Tamil. Achcha, Andhra. Andhra has also had a good chance. Is that everyone? UP, raise your hands! Gujarat raise your hands! You came on a special invitation; you have become special souls; all of you are. Those from Delhi raise your hands! It is good, we heard the news of Delhi. The beginning of the Diamond Jubilee has been very good. You have done well. Those from Delhi have been clever: If we do it first we will get the Dadis, if we do it afterwards, we won't get the Dadis. Your cleverness is good. Delhi belongs to everyone. Will you rule in Delhi or in London? Delhi belongs to all. How many times have you ruled in Delhi? Innumerable times. And so it belongs to you. This is why the establishment of service also took place on the banks of the River Jamuna. You will rule your kingdom on the banks of the River Jamuna itself. The beginning started with the banks of the River Jamuna. It took effort, but the stamp for the kingdom was put there. Good programmes have been planned everywhere else also, and when they take practical shape, it will be very good. The plans that are being made now are very good and there will definitely be success. Achcha.

Are the ones sitting at the back comfortable? Is everything OK? BapDada looks more towards the back, because, if Baba sees the ones at the back, it includes those at the front anyway. When the people at the back are seen, the onset the front are included. This is why BapDada always looks at the back first.

To all the elevated souls in all four directions; to the children who become the masters and claim a double­right; to the fortunate souls who claim the right of constant self­sovereignty and run their own kingdom; to those who constantly move forward in service with the method of making Baba's sanskars their own sanskars; to such elevated server­souls who constantly move forward, BapDada's love remembrance and namaste.

To the Dadis: The more responsibilities increase, the more you receive extra blessings and the more Baba's love increases. However, there are responsibilities. By Baba's calculation, there are many. Baba's arms are your helpers, but there are responsibilities and they will stay. There are many responsibilities, are there not? What do you people think? There are many responsibilities on one. There are many responsibilities, are there not? (It is Baba's responsibility and we simply act according to the signals we receive.) It is good, you are double­light and because you are double­light you don't feel it. This is the extra internal help of both the Mother and the Father. Because, on the physical level, you have the responsibility of both the Mother and Father, of Jagadamba and Brahma Baba. On the subtle level, they are with you, but externally you are the instrument. This is why everyone has the most pure love for you. The Dadis have it and the world also has it. All of you have a great deal of love, do you not? How much? Achcha.
