18-01-1996         Om Shanti           Avyakt Bapdada             Madhuban


The easy method to be constantly powerful is to have positive thoughts and good wishes for others.

Today is the day of remembrance filled with love. The sound of love from the hearts of the children in all four directions has reached BapDada. This love is filled with happiness. As well as calling this the day of remembrance, BapDada also calls it a day of power because Brahma Baba, in his corporeal form, surrendered his powers to the children for them to carry out all tasks in the corporeal form. This day is called the day with the blessing of "Son shows the Father". In the corporeal form Baba put the children in the front, and in the angelic form he started the service of his children and the world. The 18th of January is the day of remembrance when Brahma Baba became completely free from all attachment. The essence of the eighteen chapters of the Gita is that God made Arjuna the conqueror of attachment and the embodiment of remembrance. So, this 18th is the memorial of this. No matter how much love Brahma Baba had for the children, he didn't have attachment but love in his heart. And, of course, the children have experienced how much Baba used to remember those who were instruments in service; you had this experience, did you not? Attachment is that in which one has selfish motives. However, Brahma Baba didn't have any selfish motives for himself, but he did have extreme love for the children in the name of service. This is why the remembrance of the children didn't pull him. He was always loving and yet detached. This is why it is said: the conqueror of attachment and the embodiment of remembrance. He had no consciousness of "mine" for anything; he even became free from attachment to the consciousness of the body. So, today is the day for learning the lesson of following the father in the same way.

This avyakt day has been a day for making souls without knowledge aware of God's task, because on seeing father Brahma, the majority of people used to think and believe that Brahma was your God. They used to think that Brahma was the God of the Brahma Kumaris. However, what did they think when Brahma transformed his part from the corporeal form? That now the God of the Brahma Kumaris has gone away. But did he go away? And they even thought that, if not today then tomorrow, the work of the Brahma Kumaris would end. However, you know that your Karankaravanhar working through Brahma was the Supreme Soul: He is and will be till the end. So this is God's task. It is not the work of any human being. They only recognised this after Brahma Baba changed his part from the corporeal form; they realised that some power was working for you, but even now, the poor, helpless people don't know God. They know that some power is working, but they are still thinking about who that power is. They are seeing it and thinking about it; eventually, they will understand it. So, whose task is this? Is it father Brahma's or is it that of God working through Brahma? Whose task is it? You might say that the children who came after the part of sakar Baba are wondering: Why did Brahma Baba finish his sakar part so quickly? Otherwise, we could also have at least seen him! We could have met him! You think in this way, do you not? In the memorial of the previous kalpa, through whom did the mahavir instruments of the Kaurav army receive benefit? They benefitted through the Shaktis. So, according to the drama, the part of the Shaktis has been fixed in the corporeal form. And everyone even believes that it is impossible for there to be world benefit without the power of the mothers. So, why did Brahma Baba become an angel? Why was the sakar part changed? If Brahma Baba didn't adopt the angelic form, all of you souls would not have reached here today. Because the uncertainty in the atmosphere was making the task of this world revolution fluctuate. So Brahma Baba becoming avyakt became the reason for opening the fortune of the maximum number of children. You can now see the fast speed of service through the angelic form. You can see that, can't you? Did the speed become fast or slow? It became very fast. It is because everything became so fast that all of you reached here. Otherwise, you would still be fast asleep. So today is not the same as how other people celebrate such a day; they think that he has now gone.

But, in fact, there is zeal and enthusiasm to follow the father and become an embodiment of remembrance and a conqueror of attachment, the same as Baba. This is the day for learning this lesson practically. Out of all of you sitting here, whether sitting at the back, at the front or anywhere else, did any of you have tears of sorrow in your heart today? Did you have any tears or did you feel something inside? No; maybe one or two of you had tears. Those who had the slightest feeling of sorrow, raise your hands! Did you feel any sorrow? You didn't, did you? Today is the day that Brahma Baba became a service companion. Are all of you companions also? Or, are you just observers? You are companions in service and observers of the situations of Maya. You have welcomed Maya, have you not? Or, are you afraid, thinking, "What has happened?" Are you a little afraid? Whenever Maya comes to you in a fearsome form ­ you are now aware of her ordinary, insignificant form and Maya also knows that you now know her very well ­ but when she comes in a fearsome form, then hit her very hard, just like in wrestling. Have you seen wrestling? Do you want to see it? Children demonstrate that here. So always think that you are having a wrestling match. Therefore, hit her very hard. Don't be afraid, it's just a sport. You enjoy it more when you play as a detached observer. But if you think that Maya has come, then you would be afraid. Maya doesn't have any strength any more. Externally, she has the form of a lion, but in fact, she is not even like a cat. In order to make you afraid, she adopts a huge form and you think, "What will happen now?". BapDada taught you this lesson earlier also: Don't ever say, "What will happen now?". Has Baba taught you the lesson of asking questions: "What can I do? How will it happen? What will happen?" Whatever is happening is good and whatever is to happen will be even better. To become a Brahmin means that everything is good. Maybe, sometimes something that you never even dreamt about would happen, and some things may not have happened before gyan, but as soon as you come into gyan, they happen. Your business may not have fluctuated before gyan, but this happens after you come into gyan, and you become afraid, thinking you should leave knowledge now. But whenever any situation comes, consider that situation to be your teacher for a short time. What does a teacher do? He teaches, doesn't he? So the situations also especially make you experienced in having two particular powers. One is the power to tolerate, to have detachment and become a conqueror of attachment and it also teaches you the lesson of having the power to face, so that you learn something for the future. So the situation has only come to teach you these two lessons: the power to tolerate and the power to face. And when you say that you are just a trustee and that nothing belongs to you, do you really mean it or are you just saying it and deceiving yourself? Do you really mean it in your heart? Are you a trustee or a little bit of a householder? Are you sometimes a trustee and sometimes a householder? In the New Year, BapDada was presented with a few toys and one of them was such that when it was turned one way, it was a male figure and when turned the other way, it was a female figure. The one toy would change its form. You are not like this toy, are you? Show them this toy! If you still have it in stock, show it to them. In one second it becomes one thing, the next second it becomes something else. You are not like that, are you? Being a trustee one moment and becoming a householder the next? Maybe the Pandavs sometimes become a little like that? When you feel afraid, Maya understands that you are afraid and so she hits you hard. But don't be afraid. You are already trustees, that is, you have renounced everything. To be a trustee means you have handed over everything to the Father. What would be "mine" anyway? When you think of something belonging to you, the intellect gets deflected and then there is a little problem. Everything is good and everything will work out well, and therefore, you are carefree. This is known as being an embodiment of power. So, what day is it today? The day to become powerful, the day to become a conqueror of attachment. It is not just a day to remember Baba and sing songs. Brahma Baba becoming an angel became a means to reveal the Godly task within the drama. Does Brahma Baba exist or not? You are not able to see him.

Look, all of you who came later are very lucky. Why? You have come at the time when the facilities for service are readily available. Those who are celebrating their sixty years extracted the butter and all of you came to eat it. You must have heard the history today. If you would have had to make that much effort, you would have run away. However, at the present time, the field of service is prepared. Now, whether it is a President, a Prime Minister or any leader, at least the majority of them believe that your work is very good. Whether they can do it themselves or not is a different issue. Each one's part is his own. At least they say that it is a good task and that it should go a lot further. Previously, they used to say that you mustn't even look at the face of a Brahma Kumari. In the early days, when you used to go to invite them, they would shut the door on you. So all of you have come at a good time. There are many chances for service. You can do as much service as you want. Now, everyone knows that, even after sakar Baba became avyakt, you Brahma Kumaris have celebrated the silver jubilee, you have also celebrated the golden jubilee and have now reached the diamond jubilee. When any great guru leaves, it causes many problems. Are there any problems here? In fact, here, there has been further expansion and everything just continues to grow. This proves that it is God who is carrying out this task. The instrument medium is Brahma Baba. Even now, the medium is Brahma Baba. This part (of Avyakt BapDada) is something different, but within the drama, the medium initially was sakar Brahma and now it is Brahma in his angelic form. Brahma is called the father. Brahma is the creator. This part is to give sustenance to the children every now and then. But Brahma is the creator and he will have the part in the task of creation till the end.

Today, throughout the whole day, who had any Maya? Did Maya come? Did she? Did you not remember your grandchildren? So constantly remain powerful in this way, and the easiest method of all is to remember two words. You are able to remember two words, are you not? You may forget the entire murli, but you can remember two words and continue to practise them. In fact, you know these two words, they are not new. One is to have positive thoughts (subh chintan), to change the negative into positive: this is known as having positive thoughts. Negative can become positive and you can change it. But simply check whether you had positive thoughts even whilst performing actions. And the second is to constantly have good wishes for others. So positive thoughts and good wishes (subh chintak) for others have a connection with one another. If you don't have positive thoughts, you can't have good wishes for others. Therefore, pay attention to these two aspects. Do you understand? What will you do now? Don't forget everything here. Nowadays, it's been seen that there are many situations in which people don't understand you through words, but if, whilst having good wishes, you give pure vibrations, they change. And one other thing: you are those who are becoming free from everything in this Brahmin life. So you have been told of nine things to become free from, and through removing these nine things, you can become part of the nine jewels. If you become free from these nine things, you can become part of the nine jewels. However, today, BapDada is reminding you of one thing. Don't ever be disheartened whenever there is any physical illness, any storm in the mind, any physical upheaval in your body, any upheaval in nature, any fluctuation in service or, in fact, any type of upheaval. Become those who have a big heart. How big is Baba's heart? Is it small? The Father has a big heart, but the children become disheartened. If they become ill, they start crying out in pain. Is being disheartened a medicine? Will the illness go away or will it increase? When any karmic accounts come, when there is any pain, that is also a karmic account that has come. By being disheartened, you increase the illness. Therefore, be courageous and Baba will also help you. It shouldn't be that you start crying, thinking about what to do and then think that you are not receiving Baba's help. Those who maintain courage receive help. First, there has to be the child's courage and then the Father will help. However, you lose courage and then think that you didn't receive Baba's help, that Baba doesn't do anything at the moment of need. So don't just remember half the sentence. Baba is the Helper, but to whom?

You forget half of it and remember the second half and think that Baba only helps the maharathis and that He doesn't help you, that He doesn't even see you. In fact, it is you first and the maharathis second. Don't be disheartened. What happens, when any confusion arises in the mind, is that you need the power to decide. However, you can only have this power when your mind is directed towards Baba. If your mind is in confusion, you will remain confused about whether to say yes or no. Therefore, don't be disheartened even in your mind. Of course, there will be fluctuation in wealth, even the millionaires experience fluctuation, and what are you compared to them? Of course this will happen. But all of you have firm faith that those who are Baba's companions, if they are true and honest, then no matter what the circumstances are, BapDada will definitely feed them dal and roti. Perhaps there won't be two types of vegetables, but at least you will have dal and roti. However, it shouldn't be that you return from work tired and sit down waiting for Baba to feed you dal and roti. Those who are lazy and careless in this way will not receive anything. But the Lord is pleased with an honest heart. And in a family there would be problems. You even say that after something reaches the extreme, the climax, it will come to an end. Everything is now going to the extreme, and so there will of course be problems in the family. Don't think that this should not happen or that this should happen. But be a trustee, be a detached observer, take power from Baba and find a solution. If you think as a householder, there will be even more problems. First of all, become a completely detached trustee. Nothing is "mine". This consciousness of "mine": "My name will be spoilt; I will be defamed; this is my child, my mother-in-law does this to me..." Everything like this happens when there is the consciousness of "mine". Wherever there is the consciousness of mine, the intellect turns around and you change. If the intellect ever gets turned in another direction due to any confusion, then understand that there is still the consciousness of "mine". Check this, for no matter how much you try to solve the problem, it becomes even more confusing. Therefore, what must you not become in any situation? You must never ever become disheartened. What will you not become? (Disheartened.) Don't just say it, but do it! You have made a firm promise that you are God's children, have you not? Even Maya cannot make you shake in this. You have made a firm promise and you have the faith that you are God's children; so if even God's children become disheartened, then who would be the ones with a big heart? Would it be someone other than you? It is you who would be this. So, what will you do? Now become powerful and make the lesson of "son shows the father" firm. Don't be weak in this, but make the lesson very firm. All of you are courageous, are you not? Do you have this courage?

Do you all experience the happiness of the Diamond Jubilee? BapDada continues to hear the news all the time. You did very well in starting in Delhi first. Set your foot in your kingdom. Everyone is now doing this. But remember that BapDada has given each zone a particular task to carry out in this Diamond Jubilee Year. Baba has given a task to the youth, to the kumaris and to the householders, so don't forget to do your task. Whether you bring to BapDada a small necklace, a small bracelet or even a big garland, you must definitely bring something; you must not come empty­handed. Do you have this courage? Will you make others like this? BapDada would say: OK. you may even bring just a bracelet. Why? Because many souls are experiencing a lot of sorrow through tension. They just don't have the courage to move forward. So you master almighty authorities should give them courage and they will be able to come. For example, when someone doesn't have a leg, he is given a wooden leg, and so at least he is able to walk. So you should give the leg of courage. Don't give a wooden leg, but a leg of courage. They are experiencing a lot of sorrow, and so be merciful. BapDada also continues to see the children who don't have knowledge and sees their condition. Their external show is very good, it is tip­top, but internally, they are experiencing a lot of sorrow. You have come at a very good time. To have become a child means you have been saved. Achcha.

To all the most powerful souls in all directions; to all souls who are the conquerors of Maya and nature; to the children, the sons, who constantly reveal the Father; to the children who always remain happy in their heart, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

Today, Baba is also very much remembering the children in the foreign lands. Because everywhere, the love of their heart is linked with Madhuban. BapDada is also keeping all those children in front of Him and giving special love and love and remembrance for service.

To Dadiji: You have received all blessings through the language of the eyes. You constantly experience Baba's love and the hand of courage on your forehead.

To the Dadis: All these are powerful companions. You are powerful companions, are you not? All of you know Maya very well. The Diamond Jubilee is being celebrated because of you souls who have become instruments. (BapDada made the Dadis sit in front of Him.) All of you also enjoy seeing this, don't you? So this morning, BapDada was seeing each jewel of the Diamond Jubilee. So, it is a mixed group; your small group is an old group, and the new gathering is of your companions. There are good souls even in the new group. Baba is not mentioning any names, but the bouquet of instrument souls has courage and this is why this task has reached its Diamond Jubilee. And what will happen at the end of the Diamond Jubilee? What flag will you hoist? What flag will you hoist at the end of the Diamond Jubilee? The same one in which you enclose flowers? Now hoist the flag that says the Father has come. Or, will you hoist the cloth flag with flowers? There has to be some newness in the Diamond Jubilee. If children are deprived from meeting the Father, there is mercy for them. They have become orphans. Therefore, you will give them the Father's introduction, will you not? Otherwise, the ears of all of you will be pulled. They will pull your ears that you didn't tell them. So BapDada is seeing that such a plan should be created in which everyone can understand. They are searching everywhere, but where is He? You will give them the address that He is here, will you not? So now create such a plan. You have meetings; so now create a plan through which everyone receives the address. Are the teachers thinking about a new plan? You are getting many chances and so of course you also have to do something. Achcha.

Avyakt BapDada's message to the Governor of Tamil Nadu, Dr. M. Channa Reddy: Do you consider yourself to be a child and a master? Those who are the children are definitely masters. So always consider yourself to be a child and a master. The whole family considers you to be a child who is also the master. You have now become a master of all the imperishable treasures of the Father, which are the powers, virtues and knowledge. Constantly maintain this happiness and intoxication. Your natural speciality is determination; the power of determination will be very useful on this path of knowledge. BapDada has seen that, no matter what type of circumstances come in front of you, you don't become disheartened. You constantly maintain courage. You have the speciality of courage and you now simply have to use it for an alokik task. You can do whatever you want. You can even quieten the opposition.

BapDada has seen that since it became the kingdom of the subjects, there have been many governors and ministers and you are one of them. However, at the present time, you have received the lottery of a particular fortune. What is that? You became an instrument for the revelation of God's task. Even though you only received that status for a short time, whoever recognises the Father in this Gyan Sarovar, a share will be given to the one who became an instrument for that. So, you have become a big shareholder. As well as this, others also receive blessings for the task they carry out, but you have received the blessings of so many Brahmin souls. Each Brahmin is so great and you receive the blessings of every Brahmin, because every Brahmin is given a chance to meet the Father!

So you are automatically receiving blessings from the Brahmins which are being accumulated in your bank for the future. What is the reason for this? You have love for the Father and the family. You have love in the heart, not selfish love. Whoever has love in the heart receives the practical fruit of that. When someone has selfish love, he doesn't attain success, whereas love from the heart enables you to attain success. So you have this golden key. Do you know which golden key? Which golden key have you received? (Blessings from You.) You have that anyway, but the key, the greatest key of all, is determination. Determination is the key to success, and you have this key. Baba knows that you have done a lot and will continue to do a lot more. Where there is love, you cannot forget that One, and this is Godly love. It is not love of a human being, but Godly love. Love constantly brings you close. Is everything OK? Achcha, is your family all right? Give Baba's remembrance to the family also. Wherever you go, you will do service.

To Narayan Dada: You are moving forward, aren't you? To move forward means to follow the father, and so have you moved forward? The imperishable seed has been sown directly by the father and this is no small fortune. So continue to increase this fortune. See how much love all the Dadis have for you. They love you, don't they? So the response of love is to move forward. Is everything else OK? If your family OK? Achcha.

To Jagdishbhai: Delhi did very well. Delhi has claimed the number. Now prepare such mikes who say on your behalf that this is the Godly path. In fact, you have become an instrument to do this anyway. You have had this blessing from the beginning, and so continue to do this. However, otherwise, you did very well and Delhi showed its courage, unity and success. Of course, everyone is being congratulated, but special congratulations for this task. Achcha.
