Year 2018 - 
		
		
		The final spiritual race of 
		
		efforts
		
		
		1 January 2018 
		marks the beginning of the new year. There is special importance of
		
		
		January 
		
		month 
		for Brahmins because it is in this auspicious month that Brahma Baba 
		became complete. 
		
		
		On
		
		18 January 
		- 
		Pita Shri Brahma 
		had shed his perishable body made of five elements and attained avyakt, 
		complete angelic stage and thereafter became engaged in unlimited 
		service. Since then, Brahma Baba is giving avyakt sustenance to brahmin 
		children, awaiting with the hope that we children too attain the 
		complete avyakt angelic stage equal to the Father as soon as possible. 
		Now even the advance party souls, the devotees, the sorrowful & 
		distressed souls, and even the nature and time is awaiting for our 
		complete stage and invoking our benevolent angelic divine form. 
		
		
		
		Therefore listen to the Call of time, nature, advance party, devotees, 
		sorrowful and distressed souls. 
		
		So come, let us burn ourselves in the bhatti 
		
		of 
		"Check and Change" to such an extent that all our past accumulated sins, old 
		
		nature-sanskars get burnt and with 
		newly emerged sanskars, we bring ourselves close to the gate of 
		new golden aged world so that Bapdada just require to open the gate of heaven with the 
		key. Whatever determined thoughts we have in these days, we receive 
		special and complete co-operation from both Bap-Dada. 
		
		So, why not take a determined decision to make 
		intense and highest 
		efforts for 30 days or 60 days in this bhatti (furnace) 
		and become entitled to Bapdada's multimillion blessings and help. 
		
		
		If 
		
		year 
		2018 begins 
		with elevated efforts, then this will bring you into 
		zeal and enthusiasm 
		for the entire year and the path of efforts would become easy. This will 
		be  the biggest gift to Bapdada from we children. 
		
		
		Many brothers and sisters have started writing the chart since DEC 
		month, which would have helped them in assessing their weaknesses and 
		they would have made special efforts too. Best wishes for even more 
		success since 
		January 2018. 
		And those who haven't yet thought about this, they too shall get ready 
		to gird up their waist, that is begin the chart with the aim of 
		attaining completion through transformation. 
		Zeal 
		and enthusiasm is the first step of success. The main purpose of Chart is
		
		
		
		1) Fixing Goals  2) Giving attention  3) Assessing shortcomings and 
		weaknesses 
		
		
		4) Firm determination  5) Transformation 
		meaning fixing goals and assessing shortcomings and weakness by 
		paying attention and transforming sanskars through firm determination.
		
		Remember, you will achieve only when you do something, nothing is 
		obtained on its own. On the path of efforts (purusharth), one need to be 
		one's own helper and bring oneself into zeal and enthusiasm. Hoping and 
		expecting from others is futile. Hence, 
		focus only on self, awaken yourself and transform yourself; only then 
		
		others will transform and the world will transform. 
		
		
		So consider the coming year 
		2018 to be your last chance & last option for taking your last 
		decision for putting your last effort.
		
		Best wishes 
		for new year, new age, new sanskars, new intense efforts  and farewell 
		to old year, old age, old sanskars, and lose careless efforts.
