Portrait of an Angel
Couple of days, Dadi Gulzarji was kind enough to bring a short message for Dadi Jankiji from beloved BapDada: You are a hero actor who is using both diamonds of 'Thoughts' and 'Time' in a worthwhile way. You are the humble instrument who is a constant, close companion in every task. The part of 'Haan ji', 'I am present' is pakka. You remain cheerful and give others the cooperation of happiness.
A day or so back Dadi was having a very powerful experience of the angelic stage. It was as though Dadi was a light-weight baby in this chariot... It was a soft and serene feeling. While expanding on this experience, Dadi shared some valuable characteristics and specialities of angels which are as below. When we make these qualities natural in our lives, we can truly play our roles as angels. It's not a big deal to become a deity, but it's a matter of great honour to serve as angels now.
PORTRAIT OF AN ANGEL
I use my diamonds of ‘Thoughts’ and ‘Time’ in a worthwhile way.
I live in the constant awareness of being in the final moments of my final birth. This makes remembrance of Baba and the Golden Age very natural.
Whilst living in the chariot and performing actions, I am detached from everything and loving towards One.
I live by my personality of 100% purity.
I live with honesty towards myself, Baba, the Brahmin family and the world.
I am free from the attachment of ‘I’ and ‘Mine’.
I am the embodiment of truth, cleanliness and simplicity.
I give everyone the co-operation of happiness with my own cheerfulness.
I have faith in being able to change any situation with pure, positive vibrations.
God’s knowledge of drama is filled deep within the soul, and so is the art of repeating my elevated role of the previous cycle.

Dadi Janki – 30th July 2012 – Shantivan
Focus on the present moment
The atmosphere of Madhuban reaches all corners of the world. The power of the gathering is the attraction of Madhuban. All of you are servers of the Yagya. We have no other duty or task apart from this. So check yourself: am I a renunciate? Do I have any attraction to the body, bodily relations or facilities? Renunciation means renunciation. Tapasya cannot happen without renunciation. No matter how much you may try to remember Baba, there will be a pull to other things. It won't allow the intellect to connect with Baba. Baba is the wonderful Innocent Lord, the Bestower of Blessings. We may have the desire to have a meeting with Baba, but I will have to go alone to meet Him. Whether it is to celebrate a meeting in the physical or in the avyakt form, I will have to go alone, meaning detached from the body. Now, go beyond the consciousness of the body.
Please don't miss Amrit Vela. The effort you make now, you will create sanskars of making easy effort which will give you joy. It's not a big thing to experience the happiness of Golden Age. Who experiences the joy of making good efforts? Raise your hands with honesty. The joy one receives from making efforts ensures that I will always give joy; never cause sorrow or take sorrow. These are signs of who are good, true, intense and constant effort-makers: true effort is to remember One Baba and none other. You are serving in Baba's Yagya, so why should you remember other matters? Why remember anyone else? Why remember what happened yesterday? Yesterday has passed by - it won't return will it? What happened has happened, whatever is to happen will be seen. Focus on the 'now'. Baba loved adding this line in all of the literature: Now or never... If I say, not now, not now then I will never get down to making efforts. Keep these words in your heart: Child, do what you need to do now. I can't say how will I learn or make excuses. If I am not doing as Baba wishes it means I am doing something else; I am following manmat and parmat. Those who follow manmat and parmat are like donkeys. A donkey does what another tells him to do; he cannot use his own intellect. I am God's child, child of the Bestower of Fortune, child of the Bestower of peace, Bestower of the Remover of Sorrow... turn the rosary of all the titles of 'Whose child you are?' What is my Father like? He
is so beautiful...Satyam (The Truth), Shivam (Benevolent One), Sundaram (Beautiful One). I know my Father don't I?
Baba says, don't come into sound. Go from the talkie world into the movie world. While having conversations, start off with silence, and also take couple of moments in between to go into silence and then resume the conversation. If we think and talk extra, will we be able to share gyan accurately and sensibly? Is it easy to sit in front of a big audience with Baba and Mama behind us and share powerfully? Sit on your seat and ask yourself "Who am I?", "Who do I belong to?" Dadi is always concerned about this and what we need to be doing. We know shrimat completely. When the intellect is with Baba, then I won't know how to do anything except follow Shrimat. Storms cannot do anything to the one whose companion is God Himself. Examinations aren't a big thing because Baba is sitting with me... it's a stage of great stability. Baba sees I am unshakeable and so is bound to help the child. If I have no faith in Baba, Baba becomes free and says ok go ahead and stumble around if you wish... Baba tells us that we are His children and thus we should give our burdens to Him, but we forget this fact. We have the habit of carrying burdens. Learn the song, "Fly away O bird, this country has been a stranger to us..." and practise being the embodiment of letting go. Don't hold onto branches while trying to fly. What if death comes to you at that time? Keep one strength and trust in One. You are my only support Baba. Is this faith or bhakti? These sanskars of faith will help me in bhakti as well and so we are making them very firm now.
The soul and Supreme Soul have been separated from each other for a long time. This is the Confluence Age where the Satguru has been found through the broker. I had once asked Sakar Baba who the broker is who has brought us together with the Supreme. We souls had been wandering around. We had family and relations but the soul had still been stumbling around. You have this experience, don't you? You had a body and relationships but the soul was still wandering around. When you found your Parents, the stumbling stopped. Where were you stumbling? You had been wandering around after limited pleasures and had been only doing bhakti out of those desires. You had been cheating yourself. Dadi has never done such bhakti. The fruit of having an attitude of renunciation enabled us to find God easily at the Confluence Age. I did bhakti so that my intellect could be connected with God. I didn't want anything else. I never did bhakti for the sake of fulfilling any desire or wants. I never offered fruits and flowers to the deities, or sat in worship. We had a small temple inside our house, but I was never into rituals. I used to read the Granth Sahib and Bhagwad Gita only so that the intellect would stay connected with God. I would look at my parents and see that even though they were sitting for worship their intellect would be drawn to the housework or business. I didn't want to do such bhakti. Baba gives us great happiness when we remember Him with a true heart.
Om Shanti

Dadi Janki - 31st July 2012 (pm) – Shantivan
Baba’s murli needs to be revised, repeated and realised. Repeat the Murli to one another and revise it in you mind. Give a lot of time to revising and repeating the Murli. Unless you revise the Murli you cannot have any realisations. It is from realisations that the intellect becomes elevated and there will be clarity in the mind. With clarity in the intellect everything becomes easy.
You are my brothers and sisters and also my friends. It is taken lightly that we are speaking to our brothers and sisters. Friendship says that we belong to one class. We all join together and therefore there is friendship. Thirdly, we are companions on the pilgrimage of remembrance and therefore we have regard for one another and so we belong to one another. We should have so much love for each other that whatever is said should be accepted with a lot of love and without any feeling of loss.
Everyone has there own specialities but I personally have to become perfect in such a way that I become 16 celestial degrees complete . Do this and Baba will love you so much. Then when remembering Him, His love is remembered simultaneously.
The day before yesterday Baba gave a message through Dadi Gulzar. Dadi read the latest message:-
1. Time and thought - these two diamonds must be made successful and the one who makes them successful is the real actor, the hero actor.
2. Always consider yourself to be an instrument. Remain humble and stay close in every task. Be a companion and say ‘yes’ to all service. Make this lesson very firm
3. Always remain cheerful and give the co-operation of happiness to everyone.
Dadi: We all give our co-operation at amrit vela. Bring whatever Baba says into your practical life. Then in the future you will not need to repent. Have the thought that whatever Baba is saying is for me personally. In this way your effort will be such that you will never repent.
The following are recent messages sent from BapDada through Dadi Gulzar. Dadi wishes you to take these blessings as your own and to use them in your life.
a) You are My beloved child. You are gurubhai. You are the image and personality of purity. You are a world benefactor with the unlimited feeling of doing unlimited service.
b) Win and One is your godly birthright. You always remain in economy and always have remembrance of the One Father. Giving this message… Baba merged you in His eyes. .
c) Service is very valuable and this body is also most valuable. Baba said: sitting in one place you can do a lot of service and receive a great deal of happiness and you should distribute happiness to many souls and this happens when you are happy. Baba makes everyone content.
d) You are the star of success and the child of the Comforter of the Hearts and are attaining blessings from the Bestower of Blessings. Blessings are received by Baba; the one who distributes the blessing and makes others fly with the blessing is an elevated soul, the mirror of the new age and is always adorned with Baba’s blessings.
e) BapDada’s spiritual rose, the very loving child and the one who remains in solitude. The health may be disturbed sometimes but Baba’s blessings are making the body move. The importance of the Murli and of churning the Murli gives the attainment of extra energy.
f) The one who has a constant stage and stays in solitude. The one who claims the rights of every kalpa, the hero actor of Madhuban and the one who stays in the remembrance of the Zero. Let the health be in any condition, Baba’s blessings and mercy are making the body move.
g) Be an instrument, have humility and consider yourself to be an elevated soul connected and in relationship with the Father
Dadi: Do you have this thought throughout the day - to have connection and relationship with the one Father? The one who lives every step according to Shrimat is the one who ties Baba in their love. You can all tie Baba in your love, can’t you?
h) Be free from all negative thoughts and the one who is the foundation for transforming the world. We have to fulfil all these desires. Be the companion of the Father. Be a detached observer. Look at every circumstance and remain unshakable and immovable and be an example for everyone. When someone is an example it becomes easy for others to follow them.
i) Follow the Father in every action and let the hand of blessings be on your head.
Dadi keeps the jewels of knowledge with her and whatever Baba tells her she notes down in her mind and intellect.
Om Shanti
