Brahma Kumaris

Love the Father, service and the family and you will become free from having to labour.

Today, children from everywhere have come to celebrate their Father's birthday. Whether you are personally sitting in front of the Father or are here in your angelic form, you are in front of Him. Baba is seeing all the children. On the one hand, you are happy to be celebrating this meeting and on the other hand, you have zeal and enthusiasm to serve in order to reveal the Father as quickly as possible. Seeing you children in all directions, BapDada gives multimillionbillion fold congratulations. Just as the children have come from far, far away, from all corners, to celebrate the Father's birthday, so BapDada has also come from far, far away. BapDada has also come to celebrate the children's birthday. Who has come from furthest away? Baba or you? You would say: We have come from very far away, but Baba would say: I have come from even further away than you. However, it takes you time to come here. It doesn't take Baba any time. You have to catch a plane or train, whereas Baba has to take a chariot. It isn't that only you have come to celebrate the Father's birthday, but that Baba has also come to celebrate the birthday of the Brahmin souls who are the original companions, the children who have been His companions from birth. When Baba descends, He is not alone; He takes His divine birth at the time of the birth of Brahma and the Brahmin children, that is, He descends with them. Baba alone, without you Brahmins, cannot look after this sacrificial fire. So Baba created this sacrificial fire and the Brahmins through Brahma, and only after that were all of you created. So, whether you have been with Baba for two years or two months, congratulations to all of you for your divine birth. This divine birth is so elevated! Baba is very happy to see the sparkling star of fortune of every Brahmin soul who has taken a divine birth, and constantly sings the song, "Wah Brahmin children who have a life as valuable as a diamond! Wah!" You are all "wah! wah!" (wonderful), are you not? Baba has made you into wonderful children. Baba's alokik birthday is very unique, and the birthday of all of you children is also very lovely and unique. Only the birth or jayanti of the Father is like this. No one else has ever had a birthday like this nor will anyone ever have such a birthday as the Incorporeal's divine birth! All souls take birth with their own corporeal bodies, but the Incorporeal is born by entering someone else's body. Has anyone in the whole kalpa ever taken birth in this way? Only the one Father has such a unique birthday which devotees have been celebrating as Shiva Jayanti. This is why you know the importance of this divine birth. Although devotees don't know the importance, they do consider God to be the Highest on High according to what they have heard. You children don't just celebrate this, but together with celebrating it, you also make yourselves the same as the Father. You know the importance of the alokik divine birth. No other children take birth at the same time as their father, but Shiva Jayanti means that together with the Father's divine birth, it is also the divine birth of His children. This is why you celebrated the diamond jubilee. So, together with the Father's birth, it is also the divine birth of the children. Only this birth can be the birthday that is as valuable as a diamond. And by celebrating this diamond like birthday, your life becomes like a diamond. All of you children understand the meaning of this and you also explain it to others. BapDada continues to see and hear all the news of how you children celebrate the divine birth of the Father with so much importance, zeal and enthusiasm. In return for the serviceable children's courage, BapDada continues to give them help.

Nowadays, the one thought of all the children reaches BapDada again and again: Now, I have to become equal to the Father as quickly as possible. Baba also says: Sweet children, you have to become this. Each of you has this determined faith. However, now you have to underline it: If I don't become this, then who does? I was this, I am this and I will continue to become this every kalpa. Do you have this firm faith?

Double foreigners have come to celebrate Shiva Jayanti. All double foreigners, raise your hands! BapDada sees that the greatest enthusiasm the double foreigners have is for not leaving out a single corner of the world. Those of Bharat have received a lot of time to serve and so they have given the message to every village. However, the double foreigners have received less time to serve than those of Bharat. Nevertheless, because of their zeal and enthusiasm, they have proved to Baba that they have served well and will continue to prove this. The service that has begun in Bharat of serving all the different professions has made it easy to give Baba's message to all the professions, because those from each profession want their profession to move forward. So, this invention of serving the professions is very good. Through this, there is very good splendour through the special souls from different professions that come here. You like it, do you not? You like serving the professions, do you not? Those from abroad also bring good groups here by having retreats for them. That too is a good method. Just as those from Bharat have taken the opportunity to serve the different professions, in the same way, the method of the double foreigners is also very good. BapDada likes both types of service. They are both good. Jagdishbhai has created a very good invention. Who invented the idea of retreats and dialogues in the foreign lands? (Everyone did together.) In Bharat also, everyone has worked together, but someone has to be the instrument. It is good. Everyone likes a gathering of his equals. In both types of service, you have the chance to bring many souls close. You like the result, do you not? Was the result of the retreat good? And the result of serving the different professions was also good. From this land or abroad, there is and will continue to be one or another invention. There is good enthusiasm. Whether in Bharat or abroad, there is good enthusiasm for service. BapDada sees that those who continue to move forward by doing selfless service from their heart accumulate a lot in their account of charity. For all the children, the first account is of the reward of their own efforts, the second account is of receiving blessings by remaining content and making others content, and the third account is of charity in return for doing accurate service in a yogyukt and yuktiyukt manner. BapDada continues to observe these accounts of all the children. Children accumulating in all three accounts is indicated by them experiencing themselves to be constantly easy effortmakers, and by others naturally receiving inspirations for easy effort from them. They symbolise easy effort; they do not have to labour. They love the Father, service and the family. These three types of love free you from having to labour.

BapDada has the elevated hope for all you children that you will all constantly be easy effortmakers. You have been labouring and stumbling in confusion on the path of bhakti for sixtythree births. This birth now is the only one in which you can become free from having to labour. If you still continue to labour over a long period of time, then when would you claim the blessing of the confluence age, the blessing of becoming an easy effortmaker through having love? When this age ends, this blessing will also come to an end. So, claim this eternal blessing as quickly as possible. No matter how great a task or problem may be, you should be able to overcome that task or problem as easily as removing a hair from butter. When BapDada sees the games of some of you children, as well as being amused, Baba also feels mercy for you. When any problem or task comes in front of some of you children, this is sometimes indicated on your faces. Your face changes a little. Then, when someone asks you what happened, you say, "Well, there is too much work to do." If you don't have any obstacles, how could you be praised with the title of a destroyer of obstacles? There should be no signs of tiredness or nor any indication on your face that your mood has changed, even slightly. Why? Are there any signs of tiredness, of a change of mood in your nonliving images that have been worshipped for half a kalpa? The nonliving images are always smiling, but who do those images represent? They represent you, do they not? So, the nonliving images are the memorial of you in the living form. BapDada says: There shouldn't be even the slightest trace of tiredness, or, in other words, of irritability. As well as BapDada, everyone else loves a constantly smiling face. Would anyone go in front of someone who is irritable? They would first think: Should I say anything to this one now or not? Devotees come to your nonliving images with a lot of enthusiasm, but would they like it if you became heavy in the living form? Now, BapDada wants to see all the children's faces as being angelic, the form of a bestower of blessings, the form of a bestower, merciful, tireless, an easy yogi and an easy effortmaker. Don't say, "Well, the situation was like that!" Don't say this! No matter what the situation may be, you should be constantly smiling and cool. Being serious and mature should be balanced with being light and entertaining. What would people see if they suddenly come in front of you when your appearance is not that of an easy effortmaker? That is the picture of you that they will carry away with them. If, at any time, someone suddenly takes your photograph, then whether you are one month old or two months old, your face should be as Baba has described. Become a bestower. Don't be one who takes, but one who bestows. No matter what someone gives you, whether it is something good or bad, you are the ones with a big heart and who belong to the greatest of all Fathers. Even if someone gives you something bad, then you with your big heart must not accept that, but should become a bestower and give that one cooperation, love and power. Give that one a gift of one or another virtue through your stage. You are the children of the greatest of all Fathers, the One who has the biggest heart. Let extra love emerge in your heart for that soul, for with the power of this love, that soul will be transformed. Are you ones with such a big heart? Or, do you have a small heart? Do you have the power of accommodation? Then accommodate everything. So much rubbish is thrown into the ocean, but the ocean doesn't throw the rubbish back to the person who threw away that rubbish. You are the masters, the children of the Ocean of Knowledge and the Ocean of All Powers.

So, did you hear what BapDada wants to see? The majority of you children have kept the aim of transforming yourselves this year. Don't say that you will do it sometime in the future, or that you will think about it, but that you will definitely do it. Is it that you have to do this or will you think about it when you return home? Those who feel that you have to do this, clap with one hand (wave). (All raised their hands.) Very good! Don't just raise that hand, but also raise the hand of determination in your mind. It is easy to raise that physical hand. The hand of determination in your mind constantly makes you an embodiment of success. Whatever you think, that has to happen. The thoughts you think would of course be positive. You can't think anything negative. The path of negative thoughts is closed for all time. Do you know how to close it? Or, does it open by itself like the doors opened by themselves during the storms? It isn't like that, is it? You may think that you just closed the door, but a storm opened the door. So, don't leave the door so loosely closed. Achcha.

Today, there are many programmes. Achcha, the celebration of the double foreigners was good, was it not? (There was a ceremony of honouring nearly 400 doubleforeign brothers and sisters who have been in gyan for ten years or more.) Did you enjoy it? Those who celebrated it and enjoyed themselves, raise your hands! There are also Pandavs in this. What is the importance of this? What is the importance of celebrating this? To celebrate means to become. Constantly wear this crown. What would you call effort for the self and responsibility of service? It is just enjoyment. Constantly wear the crown of enjoying service. And everyone wore a golden "chuni" (scarflike shiny gold material). Why was the golden "chuni" put on all of you? So that you can constantly have the goldenaged stage; not silver, but golden. You also wore a garland; you wore two garlands. Which two garlands will you wear? One is to be a constant garland around Baba's neck. Constantly. Don't ever remove this garland from around the neck. Remain garlanded around Baba's neck. Second, by serving constantly you make others part of the garland around Baba's neck. These are the two garlands. So, those who celebrated it enjoyed themselves and those who watched it also enjoyed themselves. So, Baba has told you the significance behind these celebrations. As well as this, to celebrate means to increase your zeal and enthusiasm. BapDada saw each one's experience. You had good experiences. Happiness and intoxication were visible on each one's face. Simply keep your form powerful, smiling, serious and mature as well as light and entertaining. According to the situations of the present time, there are more who simply listen to these things and much fewer who understand these things. There are also more of those who see you and have an experience. Instead of you telling them these things, they should be able to see Baba's introduction in your face. So, this was good. BapDada is also happy to see all of this. This year, this season, has been the special season of celebrations. Things cannot be the same all the time.

(BapDada conducted the drill.) Do all of you have the power to rule? Are you able to rule your physical organs whenever you want? Have you become masters of the self? Only those who are masters of the self can become masters of the world. Whenever you want, no matter what the atmosphere is like, if you order your mind and intellect to stop, are you able to stop them? Or would it take some time? It is essential for each one to make this effort every now and again throughout the day. Whenever your mind and intellect are busy, then try and see at that time whether you are able to stop them in a second. So, when you think, "Stop!”, it should not take you three minutes or five minutes to stop them. The practice of this will be very useful to you at the end. On the basis of this, you will be able to pass with honour. Achcha.

To all the loving souls who constantly celebrate with zeal and enthusiasm from their heart; to those who constantly experience a life as valuable as a diamond; to the special souls who are an authority on the basis of their experience; to the serviceable souls whose faces reveal the Father and give His introduction; to the souls who have a right to everyone's blessings by constantly maintaining the balance between being serious and mature with being light and entertaining; to all the children from all directions in this land and abroad, please accept congratulations, congratulations for Shiv Ratri. Also please accept deep heartfelt love, remembrance and namaste from Dilaram BapDada, the Comforter of Hearts.

BapDada meeting Dadis: You can't constantly enjoy the same play. There has to be some change. And so, within the play of the drama, many different plays are also visible. It is good. All your thoughts are being fulfilled. The more thoughts you have whilst remaining loving and detached, the more those thoughts are fulfilled. Every thought of Brahmins is filled with the seed of success. Since the seed is of success, there will definitely also be the fruit of success.

BapDada stood on the huge stage of the Diamond Hall and after hoisting the flag with His own hands, gave greetings for Shiva Jayanti to all the children:

Many, many congratulations to everyone for hoisting Baba's flag with love. BapDada can see that Baba's flag is hoisted in each one's heart. Baba is in each one's heart and every child is in Baba's heart. What would you tell anyone who asks you where you live? We are those who live in God's heart. All of you are living in Baba's heart. What is in your hearts? The flag of Baba's name. This flag is just a memorial, but the flag of Baba's name will very soon be hoisted in the world. That day is not far off. Whether or not the children know the Father, everyone will definitely receive Baba's introduction. The sound will definitely emerge from each one's lips that the Father has come. Everyone is making preparations for this. It is guaranteed. It has to happen. It has to happen. It has to happen.
