ATTENTION - ( no tension )
Dadi Prakashmani Ji
We never used to say we were going to sit in yoga, but to sit with attention; sit in God's remembrance. We have the concern to do everything with attention. Our dharna is good when there is attention. If our attention is wandering here and there when we are listening, we are unable to understand. If there is anything lacking in our dharna it means there isn't attention on the self. If we're busy seeing the mistakes of others, our attention is drawm tpwards them. Then we take on the responsibility of everyone else; of what they should or should not be doing.
What do we have to do? We have to keep ourselves free from waste thoughts and attention to useless matters. Listen, but don't listen. If you are busy in yoga there is no time for waste. If you are busy with your own progress, then you're able to be flexible in service. Baba has made us sensible and light (no tension), so that we do the service that comes in front of us with love, considering it to be our fortune. Have the gift of being tireless. Do service from the heart and Baba will really massage the soul. How would He do this? With sweet drishti and love!
Keep a list of what you need to keep in your attention in order to pass. Pass in being tireless in mind and body. In this short time we have to earn a huge income for the whole kalpa. Become peaceful internally, so that your sense organs are under your control. We have no desires. Whatever is necessary will come in front of us. Those who do something from their heart have no desire for any respect or fame. Some souls become happy when you praise them, but what is the basis of such happiness? There is true happiness and deep faith when you go deep into knowledge. Then you will experience great benefit, and yoga will be easy. By going deep into knowledge there is naturally attention on dharna. Then your face will reflect happiness and you'll automatically do service. You'll never do anything against the maryadas, and so you'll be able to claim everyone's blessings. You'll
be seen in everyone's vision as an elevated effort-maker. A true, incognito effort-maker is automatically revealed and becomes an inspiration for others.
The main thing is to have attention internally. Be cautious in your interaction. Don't speak loudly and from a distance. The more you go into silence, the more your face will lose its sadness and become cheerful. Speak only of good things and that which is necessary; don't speak too much. Become a swan, with the discrimination power to leave aside waste. This will only be possible when the intellect becomes clean. Go deep into the soul conscious stage; go beyond the body and bodily beings. People won't be able to see us; they will just see that we are in a stage of being beyond. We have to return home as the brides with the Beloved, in the state in which we first came down. A bride is never separated from her beloved even for a second; they do everything together.

Service and Remembrance -
Dadi Prakashmani Ji
God is the Sun of Knowledge and He gives such rays that nothing can be hidden from us. To be constantly cheerful is to make true effort. We know we'll receive the fruit in the golden age, but we can experience that happiness now if we have self-sovereignty, when the mind and sense organs are in order. There shouldn't be a wave of sorrow in our
mind. Baba has given us this life to be happy and take blessings. Our happiness should finish any trace of sorrow in the gathering. Don't hide any sickness, nor talk to others about it and spoil the atmosphere, but speak to Baba about it and He'll put it right.
There is service in being a good companion. Whatever service is in front, be co-operative in that service. To think of just sitting in one corner having yoga is fine, but the proof of yoga is being co-operative with all. Have a record of giving co-operation throughout your life. You should suit every gathering. Learn everything secretly so that you're
able to do whatever is needed at the time. A yogi soul is free of thinking and talking about problems.

We should be like cool water. Become cool by teaching yourself. Don't say others should learn and understand. These thoughts will give you sorrow. To say others have to change shows very ordinary thinking. When we give Baba our finger of co-operation, see how much Baba helps the soul. We become free from sin and show others this path. When we increase the power of concentration we can finish all other thoughts. Keep a chart in order to finish off speaking and thinking wasteful things.
If we quarrel amongst ourselves, how can we show the path to others. If we didn't have this 'army', maya would eat us whole. Those who sulk will remember their lokik home. If there isn't Baba's remembrance, your happiness diminishes. Externally you may look happy, but internally you're not happy. Happiness is a big property.
