Eight Jewels

Eight Jewels

Introduction:

You may think there are eight, but in Baba's list even eight are not yet ready.  Even now, the eight jewels are reaching the stage of becoming the embodiment of all eight powers, and creating a stage equal to the Father in their thoughts, words and actions.  08/07/74 av

         

 Would the eight jewels have been finalized?  The mother and Father have them fixed. Now, they just have to be revealed on the stage.  07/01/78 av

Only two seats are fixed. From number three onwards, they are still empty.  The seats have not yet been announced. You can still claim a number. 30/03/2000 av

Shaktis as well as the pandavs also can come in the eight jewels.

When the rosary of eight is first created, all the others will automatically become ready.

The sign of being a jewel of the forehead is to be a constant embodiment of remembrance.

Some are the jewels of the forehead, some are the jewels around the neck and some are the jewels of the heart.  The first number is the jewel on the forehead. The two specialties of the jewel of the forehead are that firstly, it is equal and secondly, it is close. 

Equal to BapDada.  BapDada is the form of light and might.  So, to be equal to the Father means to be the form of light and might.  Baba is the Almighty Authority, and so you have become complete with all the powers, the same as the Father. Baba is constantly the embodiment of all success, that is, He always has total success.  Such jewels of the forehead who are equal to the Father are also the embodiment of success.  You are worthy of all the praise that belongs to the Father, that is, you are the complete embodiment of all the praise of the Father.

 Secondly, closeness: You are close to BapDada, but together with that, you are also close in the sanskars and nature of all the souls of the world. Because of being close to BapDada, because of having the power to discern, no matter what type of sanskars someone has, no matter how far away they may be, you, like a magnet, are those who bring souls close to the Father. You are those who bring them close to the virtues and the task of the Father.  To be close means to be the form of a magnet.  Because of being like a magnet and close to the Magnet, on the basis of having all powers, you become the instruments to uplift the whole world. 

Such jewels of the forehead consider themselves to be an image of upliftment and support for the world in every thought, every action and every step.  That is, at this time, they have the crown and are seated on the throne.  Only such great souls have a right to such an elevated crown and throne.  They are the ones who constantly move along whilst having the crown and the throne.  They have the crown and throne at all times.  If you do not become the kings at the confluence age, you cannot become the kings in the future. 

The throne of the confluence age is so big that whoever wants to sit on the throne, they can all sit on it.  You have the place, but you need to have the stage.  If you do not have the crown, you cannot be seated on the throne.  There are very strong conditions attached to this throne.  It is a huge throne, but the conditions are as large as the size of the throne.

I am a world benefactor: have you adopted this crown of responsibility?  Do you perform every task as a world benefactor?  Only those who have the sanskars for a long period of time receive the fortune of the kingdom for a long period of time. Do not think that you will do whatever you need to do at the end.  Not when, not then, but now!  You have to become the ones with such a crown and throne. Which throne?  To be seated on Baba's heart-throne. 

Just as the forehead is the place of your consciousness, in the same way, the sign of being a jewel of the forehead is to be a constant embodiment of remembrance. The jewel of the forehead is the most elevated decoration.  The vision of all the souls of the world is drawn, that is, they are automatically attracted towards such jewels of the forehead.  What would you be able to see if you kept a jewel in the dark?  It would also carry out the task of giving light. 06/06/73 av

The specialty of the first number jewels, that is, of the jewels of the crown of the forehead, was that all of them were, sparkling like a master sun of knowledge equal to the Father.  Just as the rays of the sun make the world full of light and dispel darkness from every corner, so too, the jewels who are master embodiments of knowledge were those who were spreading rays of their own powers in all directions.  The rays of all the powers of each one were reaching the entire world. It wasn't within limits; it wasn't reaching just one, not just reaching a few souls, but reaching the entire world.  Together with this, they were the master oceans of all virtues, the same as the Father.  The sign of this was visible in all the different colors of the jewels. Each one had the sparkle of all colours.  Such master oceans of all virtues, whilst radiating the beauty of their variety of colours, were the elevated decoration of the crown.  These jewels, sparkling in the centre of the crown, were visible as BapDada's special decoration.

There is significance to these jewels being set in the centre of the forehead. These special jewels constantly remain stable in their stage of soul consciousness in the centre of the forehead in the corporeal form. Whilst living in the corporeal world, their intellect is constantly engaged in the Father's remembrance, the remembrance of the home, the remembrance of the kingdom and Godly service.  Therefore, their place, sparkling in the centre of the forehead, was also a symbol of their elevated stage.  And the speciality of such souls is that they constantly maintain an elevated awareness, an elevated attitude, elevated vision and are part of the elevated family.  This is why they have attained an elevated place. That is why they have become part of the crown.  The most elevated decoration is the crown.  A crown is a symbol of greatness, as well as the symbol for a master.  It is also a symbol of having all attainments and having all rights.  Very few of such jewels were visible.  These were the first number jewels. 08/10/75 av A 

Nine jewels

How many souls would there be who have constant "suhaag" and are constantly and completely fortunate?  How many beads who are constantly double-light, constantly complete with all attainments and completely pure would there be?  As many as can be counted on your fingers!  Only such jewels are especially worshipped.  They are especially worshipped.  A jewel that is of very good quality would reveal many colors within itself even though the jewel itself would be of only one color.  A beautiful sparkling white diamond would be seen as completely flawless, and if you examine it very closely, even though it is white, all the colors would be seen within it. 

What is the reason for this? This is the sign of being complete with all powers.  All the powers are visible as different colors.  That is in terms of science whereas here, it is all attainments through silence.  After rain, you are able to see a rainbow in which all the colors are visible. Here also, after the shower of knowledge, the fruit of the rain is to become an embodiment of all attainments. Because of being an embodiment of all attainments, an elevated diamond or jewel is able to attain any power it wants.  How many such jewels would there be?  Because of being completely free from obstacles, the nine jewels are especially worshipped. When people have a particular obstacle, they especially worship the nine jewels. So, have that many become completely free from obstacles?  Each jewel is complete, yet each one has its own main speciality.  This is why the nine jewels are worshipped collectively and also individually; each jewel is specially remembered for a particular obstacle.  For instance, if someone has a problem or obstacle regarding money, then in order to attain wealth, or in order to finish the lack of money, they have a special jewel.  If they have received a lot of marks through sickness, the memorial of that is that, even now, they wear a ring or a locket that they have specially made, which they wear all the time.  All of that is on accounts of the attainments of the present time. 

So, how many such beads would there be?  Are you able to count them?  It is not a question of giving names, but of showing these beads.  If it were to be announced and they were to become well-known in the future, because they are not seen in their perfect stage now, there would be questions, "Why this one?  How is this possible?"  This is also why Baba cannot tell you.  He can show you, "This one is amongst this number, and it is possible for this one to come."  It is not a question of telling you.  Baba does not want anyone to waste time in questions.  But the jewels that have been revealed every kalpa will definitely be revealed exactly as they were a kalpa ago.  28/04/77 av with Dadi and Didi

The rosary of nine jewels is not of diamonds and jewels. It is a rosary of the jewels of knowledge. The rosary of the jewels of knowledge is created at the most auspicious confluence age. These jewels will make you prosperous for your future 21 births. Yes, you can study that knowledge and claim a high position. Therefore education, not wealth, is useful. Education is wealth. That wealth is limited, whereas this wealth is unlimited. Yes, both are studies. Deities had a lot of wealth. Then how much did they have when they went onto the path of devotion, which means the kingdom of Ravan? They built so many temples. They (deities) were so wealthy! 28/01/06 sakar

Qualities:

The special eight, the specially loved souls are in front of the Father.  They do know that BapDada is remembering them.  They see Baba through their divine T.V.  BapDada constantly turns the beads of the rosary of the specialities of such jewels.  They will be following the Father in all aspects. To be a master sun of knowledge means to be like the Father; whilst being stars, it also means to have a stage similar to that of the Father. 

The sign of a mahavir is that all the eight powers are constantly visible. The special deities have all the virtues to an equal extent. How many of such souls seated on the heart-throne would there be?  There are very few.  This is the speciality of the eight jewels, which those of the hundred do not have. 

They receive full marks in all four subjects.

Passing in the subtle, deep papers is the sign of passing with honor.

To pass with honour means not to fail even in your thoughts. 

To pass with honour means that you do not experience punishment in your mind, even through your thoughts. 

Those who are flying birds would be rulers of the globe. 

The throne of the karmateet stage is such an elevated throne!  Souls who have claimed a right to this stage, that is, souls who are seated on this throne, will be revealed to the world in the form of special deities. 

They would have an all-round part.

To make the impossible possible with determined thought is a sign of passing with honour.

Those who have constant happiness are those who pass with honour, and will return with the Father in one second; they will not stop anywhere.  03/04/96 av

They have sweetness in their interaction, and an attitude of unlimited disinterest in their mind.

Who are the ones who become the special deities? Those who are completely stable in the consciousness that through one support, one power, there is benefit.

The sign of a number one soul is that in every elevated task, he will consider himself to be an instrument to be a sample in order to make it simple for others. 

Those who are to become part of the eight will be the ones who through their every thought and action show the path in terms of the method and its success to the Brahmin family.  They will be elevated, great souls who are bestowers of blessings within the family.  13/01/78  av

The eight specialities.

Eight Specialties-

1)         Merciful.

2)         Remover of sorrow and bestower of happiness for all souls. 

3)         Personality of purity.

4)         They would appear very simple and yet very elevated in their nature, sanskars and behavior.

5)         Always be seen with the ornaments of all virtues.

6)         Always loving and detached as a lotus.

7)         Always be unshakeable and immovable.

8)         Their thoughts and words for everyone would always be filled with blessings.

          You remember the eight powers; so too, you have to have eight specialities in order to become the special deities. 

1) The first specialty of specially loved deities is of always being merciful.  Which type of mercy?  That of saving every soul from stumbling and wandering around as a beggar. They would have mercy for each and every one.  They would have altruistic mercy.  They would not have mercy for some and not for others; they would be merciful in an unlimited way and because of their merciful thoughts, souls would be made aware of their spiritual form and destination within a second. A beggar would be able to glimpse all treasures from their merciful thoughts and wandering souls would be able to see very clearly the shores of their destination of mukti and jeevanmukti.  They would be merciful to this extent.

2) Second, specially loved deities would play the part of a remover of sorrow and bestower of happiness for all souls.  They would not be able to bear anyone’s sorrow because they would consider it to be their own sorrow.  They would constantly have a magic key in the form of a particular yukti to help souls forget their sorrow and make unhappy souls happy.

3) Third, you would constantly see in what they think, say and do the personality of purity.

4) Fourth, they would appear very simple and yet very elevated in their nature, sanskars and behaviour.

5) Fifth, such souls will always be seen with the ornaments of all virtues. 

6) Sixth, the features of such specially loved souls would be like a lotus, and they would also make others become as loving and detached as a lotus.

7) Seventh, the stage of such special souls would always be unshakeable and immovable.  Just as an idol is positioned in a temple, so too, these living idols would also be constantly steady and stable.

8) Eight, their thoughts and words for everyone would always be filled with blessings. They would even give blessings to those who defame them or complain about them.  They would shower flowers of praise on those who defame them.  In return for this, they are worshipped with flowers as specially loved deities to a much greater extent.  It is common to praise those who praise you.  However, to put a garland of praise around those who defame you means to fix them as your bhagats for birth after birth; it is then also guaranteed that they will co-operate with you a lot more than at the present time. When you garland with praise those who defame you, they will in return automatically garland you with your garland of praise. Just as Baba’s praise is sung for His every action and His every virtue, so too, they will also constantly sing praise of you special deity souls, you great souls.  Giving in this way becomes a form of taking many times over.  Now, do you understand the speciality of the beloved deity souls?  26/12/78 av

1. Constant connection.       

 According to the drama, the eight jewels have received a special right from the Father in order to meet Him.  They do not need to connect through a number because those souls have a constant connection.  Only vice less soul attain a wireless connection.  The moment they have a thought, they are able to meet Him.  There are very few children who have this blessing. 08/07/74 av

 2. Following the father in all aspects

          What would be the sign of one who has created an elevated fortune?

 Such a fortunate soul would be following the Father in every thought, every word and every action. 

His thoughts would be for the service of world benefit, the same as the Father's.  Every word would be constructive, filled with humility and greatness. 

In his awareness, on the one hand, he would have the intoxication of being an unlimited master and on the other hand, he would be a world server soul. 

On the one hand, he would have the intoxication of all rights and on the other hand, he would be like the Father: respectful to all, a bestower and a bestower of blessings to every soul. No matter whether the other soul is an enemy or someone who has come as an instrument to enable you to settle the accounts of many past births - even souls who have become instruments to make you fall from such an elevated stage, even souls who come into conflict with you because of your sanskars, even souls who have an attitude of dislike towards you - for all souls he would be a bestower and a bestower of blessings. Even a soul who comes to kick you should be experienced to be a benevolent soul.  Words of insult or defamation should be experienced as praiseworthy to be remembered, and defamation should be experienced as praise.  Just as all of you defamed the Father at the copper age, but He accepted that defamation as praise and in return for the defamation you caused, He gave you knowledge, not dislike, as the fruit of bhakti - in fact, He became even more merciful - so, too, follow the Father. 

Only those who follow the Father in this way become the greatly fortunate souls.  Just as the Father makes the souls who have separated from Him belong to Him and makes them even more elevated than Himself, in the same way, the children who have a great fortune become the same as the Father and will be world benefactors and have the good wishes to make others move ahead of themselves.  This is referred to as a sign of having the characteristics of a constant yogi.

Those who reach such an elevated destination and who transform words and feelings, that is, those who transform defamation and insult into praise, those who change the feelings of rejection into those of being respected, those who transform insult into self-esteem and who transform harm by others into upliftment for them, who consider the obstacles of Maya to be a method of being absorbed in the love of the Father and who transform obstacles, such souls who are equal to the Father become one of the eight who are constantly victorious, and they become the special deities of the bhagats. 

To make a hopeless case become hopeful or to make a disheartened soul into a star of hope is a wonder.  This is known as 'following the Father.' 09/09/75 av  3. They are constantly seated in the heart-throne. Their qualities:

They constantly consider themselves to be seated on the heart-throne or ruling the throne of the world, that is, they remain stable in this stage. The children who are equal to the Father never allow the foot of their intellect to come down from their throne.  The souls who are seated on the heart-throne receive love. 

Whatever actions they perform, or words they speak, touch everyone's heart, just as whatever emerges from the Father also becomes a memorial for all time; it becomes merged in everyone's heart.  It leaves a memorial for everyone.  Then, after half a kalpa, the memorial of that takes the form of the Gita.

 Whomsoever the souls seated on the heart-throne have a thought for; the heart of that person is touched by it.  For instance, when you have good wishes and pure feelings for a particular soul, then that soul would feel in his heart that you have good wishes and pure feelings for him. 

1) Those who are seated on the heart-throne will be such that, firstly, whatever soul they a thought for in their heart, that soul will automatically come in front of them to relate his own feelings.

2) Secondly, when a couple of words are spoken to you whilst you are stable in that stage, then even those two words give great comfort to the heart.  You will feel that, although only two words were spoken, they still gave you great comfort and you received nourishment from them.

3) Thirdly, you will remember those souls even though they may be at a distance.  You would feel that that soul is with you and close to you, not at a distance.  You would feel yourselves to be personally in front of one another or in one another's company. 

4) Fourthly. Who would be seated on the heart-throne?  It would be those who are kings, would it not?  Everyone would consider a great person to belong to them.  The sign of those seated on the heart-throne is that everyone would consider them to be their elders.  You would feel that you belong to them.  You would feel that your ancestors are your seniors, worthy of worship. 

How many of such souls seated on the heart-throne would there be?  There are very few.  This is the speciality of the eight jewels which those of the hundred do not have.  The mother and father are included in them also, but there is still a number.  Since there is a number in the first age, then there would definitely be a number in those who come afterwards.  28/05/77 av

Purity

At the confluence age, it is those who constantly and naturally remain seated on the heart-throne of the Father, not just sometimes, but it is those from the beginning until the end even in their dreams and thoughts, who maintain their vow of purity, who have not touched impurity even in their dreams; it is such elevated souls who can be seated on the heart-throne. 

All four subjects- passed with honor.

Only those who have claimed good marks in all four subjects, and have passed with a good number from the beginning until the end are said to have passed with honor.  Not that you claim less marks now and again, and then have to catch up, but it is only those who, from the beginning, have done everything that the Father likes who can claim the throne. 

Loved & respected by all.

As well as this, those who are loved by everyone in the Brahmin family, with whom everyone co-operates, who receive regard from the heart of everyone of the Brahmin family; it is those who have won such regard who can claim the throne. 

If you are lacking in these aspects in one way or another, then it is possible that you become part of the royal family, but numberwise.  If you want to be seated on the throne, check yourself in these aspects 13/12/95 av

You are constantly Baba's companions and this is why you are seated on the throne.  For example, when the king is seated on the throne, the queen also has a right because she is his companion.  The heart-throne is your right of the confluence age. 31/12/95 av

Who can be seated on the heart-throne?  Those who give their heart to the Comforter of Hearts and who claim the Father's heart.  How will you win the Father's heart?  How can you win anyone's heart?  Whatever is the elevated thought in someone's heart: to fulfill that thought means to win that one's heart.  To win the Father's heart means to become the world benefactors and bestow all powers to the whole world.  Once you have given your heart to BapDada, then it belongs to the one to whom you have given it.  Once you have given the heart, it then belongs to the Comforter of Hearts. What does it mean to win someone's heart?  Whatever is the Father's thought that should be your thought? Since the heart belongs to Him, then the thought would be the same; there would not be a difference. 

Once you have given your heart, you have given it.  Those who give their heart in this way are like the jewels of the forehead, constant lighthouses and might-houses.  Here, you must not just be a lighthouse, but together with that, you must also become a might-house. Only such souls are called the jewels of the forehead. av

4. Purity- they haven’t needed to make effort for purity.

Purity.

  At the confluence age, it is those who constantly and naturally remain seated on the heart-throne of the Father, not just sometimes, but it is those from the beginning until the end even in their dreams and thoughts, who maintain their vow of purity, who have not touched impurity even in their dreams; it is such elevated souls who can be seated on the heart-throne.  Av (repeated) does each of you know what number you would have?  There are always first, second and third prizes.  Which prize did each of you receive?

The children who claim a right to the first prize are those who are complete in all five aspects.

1) The first is the crown of light, and that would be a crown of a full circle.  Just as the moon is sometimes a full circle. 

2) The second aspect is of those with a tilak sparkling on their forehead.  The symbol of the soul-conscious awareness, the awareness of brotherhood, is a bindi (tilak) sparkling at the centre of the forehead.

3) The third aspect is the sparkle of spirituality in your eyes, which means to have spiritual vision.  It is the sparkle of the practice of not seeing the body whilst looking at it, but of only seeing the spirit.  It is the sparkle of spiritual love. 

4) The lips have a smile of having attained God, of the soul meeting the Supreme Soul and also thus attaining everything. 

5) On the face was the colour (lali) of the happiness of meeting the Mother, the Father and the elevated family after a cycle of being separated from them.  The Father is red (lal), souls are red, the home is red and now that you belong to the Father, you have become especially beloved ones (laal).  So, there is this colour of so many different things!

Those who are complete with all of these five lines of fortune are those who claim the first prize. 

Now, on that basis, those who claim the first prize are considered to be the ones who have 100% in all five aspects. 

Even in the first-class, there are two types.

One type is of those who have attained the symbols of all five types of beauty as their birthright from the moment they took birth.  They did not have to make effort to attain them, but attained them immediately at birth.  They have no lines of the knowledge of impurity on their face.  Their original sanskars are their natural life.  They do not have to make any effort to transform their sanskars.  Even in their dreams and thoughts, they are not even slightly attacked by impurity, that is, there isn’t even a subtle stain on the beauty of their purity. 

The latter types are those who have the beauty of purity with them from when they took birth on the basis of the light and might of knowledge. The difference between them is that the first type doesn’t have any stains on even the final sanskars of their previous birth.  This is why they do not have any lines of having to make effort to erase the sanskars of their previous birth(s).  Those souls have the knowledge that they are carrying a burden from their previous birth, but, according to the drama, they do not experience any impure thoughts in their last and 84^th birth.  This is why they have received the gift of a lift.  Because of having their original sanskars, they easily become great souls.  Just as they easily become yogis, so too, they easily remain pure souls.  “Be holy” does not apply to them; they already are holy!  The slogan “Be holy” is not for them. They are already this.  They are number one in the group of those who claim the first prize.  This group can be called the air-conditioned group.

After them, there is the first-class group; there is just a slight difference.  They don’t have the original sanskars when they take birth, but have to create those sanskars.  From the start of this birth in which they die alive, they have been paying attention in namesake on the basis of knowledge. Lines of effort were visible at the start of this birth, but not now.  Baba is talking about the time when they first came.  The air-conditioned group is of those who were ready-made and the first-class group is of those who have made themselves like that at the beginning. The efforts they have made have been easy.  Their intense efforts and their powerful efforts have been easy, but there are lines of the efforts they have made.  We are talking about the subject of purity.  In the subject of purity, the former group is ready-made and the latter is of those who have lines of effort.

 The question of all the subjects taken together is a different matter.  This is just a question of one subject.  The former is the rosary of eight and the others are numbered first out of 100.

 Having seen the difference between the first-class types, you must now understand about the second-class.  The way to go from the second class to the first-class or the air-conditioned class is very easy.  It is a method of just a second.  It is to have the one thought: “I am originally a pure soul.”  Your original form was not that of impurity.  Both your eternal and your original form are pure.  Impurity is artificial.  It is a gift from the shudras.  How can Brahmins use the things that belong to shudras?  Simply have this one thought: Originally and eternally, my real form is of a pure soul.  Whenever you see others, look at their original and eternal pure forms.  23/03/81 av

5. Master sun.

The main serviceable instruments, who are to claim the throne to the fortune of the kingdom, will continue to give light to many places like a revolving lighthouse.  There has to be the practical form of a lighthouse.  One light will give light to many others. Even if, in namesake, you are sitting in one place, it is not possible for someone who is a master of the unlimited world to be responsible for a limited area. A lighthouse, which is positioned in one fixed place, doesn't serve just one place, but spreads its light in all four directions, in the same way, you may be in just one place, but benefit from your specialities and powers has to be spread all around. Does the sun give light to just one area?  To be a master sun of knowledge means to be like the Father; whilst being stars, it also means to have a stage similar to that of the Father.  Only the eight jewels will attain this stage. If a star spreads its light in just one area or sparkles, giving light to just its own area, that star would not be called a master sun or a sun of knowledge similar to the Father.  Unless you reach the stage equal to the Father's, you cannot claim the throne that belongs to the father.  15/09/74 av

They would also carry out the task of giving light. 

So, what task will the jewel of the forehead carry out in the dark night of the world, that is, amidst the darkness of all four directions?  That of showing the path and making them reaches their destination; to make each one attain his goal.  Such jewels of the forehead will never wander around in the alleys of the many types of wasteful thoughts.  av

True Dashera -victory over 5 vices and 5 elements

Actions performed under the influence of the five vices are said to be sinful actions or sin. They are a gross form of sin. In the same way, the five elements also attract the deep and subtle effort-makers, the maharathis, towards themselves and become instrumental in making them commit sin. It is easy to understand and conquer the five vices, but to remain beyond the attraction of the five elements takes special effort for the maharathis. Only when you know these ten things and attain victory over them will you be able to celebrate the true Dashera (burning of ten-headed Ravan).  The eight jewels will also be revealed as such victorious jewels.  23/05/74 av

6. No punishment is experienced even in the mind.

What is the difference in just passing and passing with honour?  To pass with honour means that you do not experience punishment in your mind, even through your thoughts.  The question of punishment from Dharamraj is something far later.  However, you should be free from the complications of even your own thoughts, that is, to be beyond that punishment.  This is called 'pass with honour'.  You give yourself punishment when you yourself make a mistake.  You then become confused; everything becomes complicated, and you call out.  You have to be beyond all this.  This is called passing with honour.  17/10/70 av 

7. First grade sleep.

The time spent in sleeping by those who are maharathis, that is, those who are able to pass with honour, is also accounted in the yogyukt stage.  Their stage will be as though they have finished their part and they themselves are in Paramdham, and they will experience yoga whilst sleeping.  There is the memorial that Brahmins were created from the Brahm element. You become deities from Brahmins, but Brahmins being created from Brahm means, that at the time of going to sleep, you have finished your part, become detached from the physical organs and returned home to the land beyond, the brahm element.  And when you wake up at amrita vela, you will feel that you have taken support of the body in order to play your part. And so, that means you have come as a Brahmin from the brahm element.  From here, you will directly become a deity, but this is the praise of the eight jewels of this time.

You saw the father and mother Saraswati in the sakar form: on what basis did they claim the first and second number?  Income was accumulated by them at the time of sleep.  Even in the name of sleep, they used to experience that they were not sleeping, but awake.  Their tiredness would be removed also because when the soul was awake and earning an income it did not experience any tiredness.  As just as the mother and father changed their sleep into yoga, all of you first-grade maharathis have to follow them in the same way.  You now have the experience that your sleep is reducing, but you also have to create that stage.  Change your sleep into yoga and follow the father.  This is the sign of the first grade, the sign of those who are part of the eight. 24/06/74 av

8. The throne of souls who claim self-sovereignty is the karmateet stage.

The seat or the throne of you self-sovereign souls of the confluence age is the karmateet stage.  Karmateet means that whilst performing actions to be beyond any bondage of those actions, not to be influenced by action but whilst performing every action with the physical organs, to maintain the intoxication of having all rights.

To have total control over all your physical organs means to be free from the bondage of your actions.  This is what is meant by having all rights. 

On the forehead of each sovereign, many beautiful beads of various colors are sparkling.  These are the beads of divine virtues.  To the extent you have imbibed divine virtues, so the beads are sparkling on your forehead. 

The throne of the karmateet stage is such an elevated throne!  Souls who have claimed a right to this stage, that is, souls who are seated on this throne, will be revealed to the world in the form of special deities. 

Worthy-to-be-worshipped special deity souls are supremely pure. 

They are merciful to everyone. 

They are master bestowers of blessings to all. 

They are the master oceans of spiritual love and good wishes for everyone. 

Only when you mothers who give love and sustenance, enable each one of the Father's children to swing in the swing of happiness, can the children claim a right to the Father’s inheritance.  In order to make them worthy to meet the Father, you, in the form of an instrument Shakti, must give them this pure love and elevated sustenance through your attainments.  To make them worthy means to make them into yogi souls.  Each of you knows how to become a master creator.  Amongst you Brahmin souls too, you create a creation very quickly.  Although you become instruments for them, there are very few worthy souls who give them such love and sustenance that they enable them to claim a right to the Father’s imperishable inheritance.  You elevated souls have to become world mothers.  Do not just become a mother, but a world mother, an unlimited mother and make their minds so powerful that they constantly experience themselves to be destroyers of obstacles, to be full of all powers, healthy and wealthy.  There is now a need for this type of sustenance.  There are very few who give such sustenance. To be in a family means to give the experience of love and sustenance.  It should emerge from everyone’s mouth that they have found their close relatives.  First of all, give them the experience of a relationship and then the connection will become easy.  The wave should spread everywhere so that they feel that they have found those who belong to them. Then it will emerge from their mouth that they have attained whatever they wanted to attain.  Just as you souls with all rights experience the Father in different relationships, in the same way, though different names will be given, desperate souls should experience attaining whatever they want to attain, from you souls.  Now create such an atmosphere!  It is the mother who gives her children the introduction to their father.  It is the mother who enables the children to meet their father.  Don’t just enable souls to reach you, but make them capable of forging a connection with the Father.  Don’t create little children who constantly keep calling out for their mother, but teach them to say, “Baba, Baba!”  Enable them to claim a right to their inheritance. 

Just as the same sound emerges from everyone for the Father, “My Baba!”, so too, everyone should have the same feeling for you elevated souls that they believe you to be their mother.  This is unlimited sustenance.  Every one should have the feeling of belonging.  Each one of them should feel that you have positive thoughts for them and that you are their co-operative companions in service.  This is known as being equal to the Father. This is what it meant as being seated on the throne of the karmateet stage and never ever having any karmic bondage.  To have any consciousness of “mine” about your place, your service, your students or souls who co-operate with you is also karmic bondage of service.  Become karmateet from any of this karmic bondage.  Become karmateet and bring souls close by giving them the feeling that you are the same ones, that you are everything for them.  Take souls to their destination.  10/01/82 av

9. Vibration & granting vision.

The special victorious jewels of the rosary have been especially remembered and worshipped. Whenever such a day comes then, the more that you stabilise yourself in the avyakt stage, the more you will experience all the bhagat souls invoking you. There should be special vibrations that you are able to send, through Baba, to fulfill the pure hopes and desires of those bhagats. At the end those bhagat souls will also see you, their worship-worthy souls, in a clearly revealed form together with the Father and they will say, "Yes, these are our special deities".

Why do they call you this? Because you are completely stable in the consciousness that through one support, one power, there is benefit. So, for the bhagats, you are able to fulfill everything. You are the ones who now have this feeling of absolute faith and devotion to the One Father and you maintain this consciousness of stable remembrance of One. This is the stage of one strength and one support. The sign of those who become the special deities is that they are stable in the consciousness of having one support both in faith and in service, and are strong in all relationships. This is why there are bhagats who also maintain stability in remembering their special deity; they do not stumble around going from one to another but are unshakeable in their remembrance of that one deity.

So, Baba will be clearly revealed but, together with Baba, there will also be the revelation of those special gods and goddesses. Let there be the intoxication that we, the elevated souls, are being invoked. And now, through Baba, give those souls the return of their remembrance. It will be from Baba that they will receive, but you will be the instruments responsible for that. This is why those special deities are worshipped and remembered. The special bhagats fast on particular days and make special spiritual endeavor. They pay special attention to maintaining awareness and concentration and so, in return for this they should be able to receive vibrations from the children who are the servers. Let there be the experience that we are those special souls.

BapDada is here, of course, but the special, unique children are also with Him. There should be this feeling in a practical form, just as there is the custom of giving blessings which also will be experienced in this way. When Brahma Baba had reached perfection everyone would naturally feel they were receiving blessings from him as he walked and moved, as he looked. In the same way, as you walk and move, experience fulfilling souls through the Father. There will be no need for you to say anything with the lips but, because there will be the experience of attainment and benefit, the words, "These are those souls", will come from everyone's lips. They will sing this song. That day has to come.

Now you must reach the stage of being an image that grants visions. Now the service has to be of granting visions by being the image that grants visions, just as at the beginning as you walked and moved, you saw the image that granted visions. You did not see Brahma, you saw Krishna. You fell in love with Krishna, not Brahma. Brahma disappeared and Krishna was seen, and this is why you came running hence. So when they say that Krishna abducted everyone, it is true because you did not see Brahma as Brahma but as Krishna. This was the form that was granting visions and this is what gave you such intoxication and made you come running. It was the visions that made you renounce everything.

Visions in bhakti are just simply for seeing, but when there is a vision in gyan it is not just for seeing; there is also the experience of attaining. There is a difference: not just seeing but attaining: "Krishna belongs to me", "We are the gopis"; this was the intoxication that initiated the beginning. "We are those ones, those are our images". Let this intoxication grant visions for service now as well. But now become the image that grants experience, and give them the experience of attainment and benefit. 11/11/85 av To the Dadis

10. They experience the stage of ascent and a powerful stage for a long time.

Even though you experience the stage of ascent and a powerful stage for a long time, if there is the stage of descent after that stage of ascent, you wouldn't have that experience again naturally and easily. You can only have that experience after paying special attention and making special effort. To have the stage of ascent constantly means to be an image that has already attained all attainments. Those who fluctuate after having been in a constantly ascending stage, those who lose something and then regain it, souls who continue to fluctuate, experience having attained something but then losing it. And, because they have already experienced having attained it, they cannot stay without attaining that stage again. Therefore, after paying special attention, they experience it again. However, instead of being in the list of those who constantly and easily experience this, they come in the list of those who are the second number. They don't come in the list of those who pass with honours but in the list of those who pass. 02/05/82 av

11. They have all powers and loved by all.

The speciality of the eight jewels lies in one particular aspect. The practical memorial of the eight jewels is special in that you are able to see every power in their practical life. If one of the powers is missing, you would not be fixed as one of the eight deities.

 Secondly, the eight deities are the ones specially loved by the bhagats. The specially loved ones mean those who are the great, worship-worthy souls. Every bhagat receives every type of method for success from their specially loved deities. Here also, those who are to become part of the eight will be the ones who through their every thought and action show the path in terms of the method and its success to the Brahmin family. They will have all the eight powers and will be elevated, great souls who are bestowers of blessings within the family. This is the speciality of the eight jewels.. 13/01/78 av

Swing with Krishna        - Eight jewels

Who will swing with Krishna in the new world?  Swinging is very enjoyable; the part of the one who pushes the swing is completely separate.  Those who stay with the Father from the beginning of their life till the end, that is, those who have had the yoga of the intellect with the Father - to have been with the sakar form is a matter of your luck - but whilst being with the sakar, those who have constantly had their intellect connected, from the beginning to the end, are the ones who will be with Krishna at every stage of life in the various parts: they will be together in childhood, they will study together, they will be together in playing and also in ruling the kingdom.  Those who constantly stay with the Father here will remain in company there.

Just as that first soul will have happiness and intoxication, in the same way, the souls who remain with the Father now will have the same happiness and intoxication.  Those who become equal to the Father at this time will have similar intoxication there.  And so, to remain with the Father in all forms is also a special part.  The basis of being with Krishna in your childhood, youth, and old age is constantly to be in the company of the Father here from the beginning, through the middle till the end.  Those who have been with the father from the beginning will be with him through the eighty-four births; whilst doing bhakti, whilst becoming the temporary kings and in performing any type of part, they will constantly have a relationship in one form or another.  They will begin bhakti together.  They will ascend together and come down together.  13/10/75 av

Right to the first throne -world emperor one on follow the father in all aspects

One grade is of those who are going to rule the kingdom and the other grade is of those who are going to carry out the running of the kingdom.  Those who are seated on the throne will rule the kingdom and those who come in contact with you will be carrying out the activities of the running of the kingdom.  Therefore, those who are going to carry out the activities of the running of the kingdom are also being created now.  What would be the speciality of those who run the kingdom?  Not everyone will be seated on the throne; because there has to be a limit of those who can be seated on the throne but there will be the relatives of those seated on the throne. There would be a difference between those who are part of the royal family and those are seated on the throne. Although they will all be called the number one or number two family of the world emperor, what would be the difference?  There have to be some rules as to who can be seated on the throne. At the confluence age, Baba gives everyone the right to be seated on the heart-throne. There will be the future emperors and kings, but who will claim a right to the throne of Lakshmi and Narayan the First? There will be smaller thrones and the royal court, but the special basis of having the throne of the world emperor is to be one who completely follows the Father in every aspect and every subject.  If you lack following the Father in even one matter, you cannot claim a right to the first throne.  In order to claim the first crown and throne, you have to follow both Bap and Dada in everything. Only then will you receive the throne as a follow up.  You have to follow the Father in every matter, every sanskar and every thought.  Numbers will be allocated on the basis of this.  You will receive the same throne, but it will be numberwise. It is also significant as to whether there will be a difference between Lakshmi and Narayan the Second and Lakshmi and Narayan, the Eighth because of that difference in following the Father.  This is very significant. You become an emperor or an empress. 

The basis on which you become this is also a secret.  To follow the Father, to follow the Father from birth, to follow the Father in your childhood is a very deep philosophy.  In terms of companionship and co-operation at the time of the establishment, how much have you been following the Father and to what percentage have you been following Him?  How much did you follow the Father in the task of sustenance?  How much did you follow the Father in being a destroyer of obstacles for yourself and others? Your total marks are based on the combined marks of all of these things.  Your final place is based on your total marks.  All of you can take a jump.  You mustn’t think that because you have come late you cannot do this.  You can do it!  You may have to take a big jump, but take it anyway and BapDada will give you extra help.  25/03/81 av 

How to pass with honors?

In order to pass with honours your intellect’s yoga should not wander even slightly. Remember the one Father alone. Whilst walking and moving around, whilst eating and drinking, Baba's image and features should be visible from your eyes. 

There should be the consciousness of the One in every aspect.

No matter what the situation is: whether of your mind or your body or of your relationships and connections, no other soul should enter your thoughts. Those who are equal would be the number one..Make intense effort. “Be Holy.  Be Yogi".

The time spent in sleeping by those who are maharathis, that is, those who are able to pass with honour, is also accounted in the yogyukt stage. Stay awake at night and remember Baba. You have to return home having   passed with honours. Only eight gain this scholarship.

All the eight powers should be manifested equally at the same time. 

When you have the consciousness of being brothers, the soul can become one of the eight jewels. 

Become serviceable, sensible and essenceful.

Your old sanskars have to totally change.

You have to become elevated in all virtues. 

If you constantly remain cheerful, there will be no attraction to Maya.

At the present time, only with your original stage will you be able to overcome all situations, which is, will you be able to pass with honor. You must not show your nature of being delicate, but you just have to become delicate in being able to transform your sanskars. 

You should receive a certificate of contentment from all souls in three subjects: your own effort, your service and your connection with others.  A contented soul can become a special deity soul for many other souls.

They should be liked by the Father, the Brahmin family and by the world for their service.

Only those who finish this progeny of all vices are able to attain the fortune of a divine kingdom for twenty-one births.  06/02/74 av

It is easy to understand and conquer the five vices, but to remain beyond the attraction of the five elements takes special effort for the maharathis. 

The practice of controlling the subtle power of your thoughts should be as easy as controlling your physical hands. 

The account of accumulation of every treasure should be so full that you will be able to experience the fruit of that accumulated account of treasure for twenty-one births. 

Be Ever-ready.

          In one second, you should be able to merge the expansion and become the embodiment of the essence.

The Father says: Children, keep your chart: For how long do I remember Shiv Baba? Start by remembering Baba for half an hour and then that practice will develop. Create such a stage that at the end you only remember Baba. Only those who stay in such remembrance become the 8 jewels of the rosary of victory. 11/04/03 sakar

          You have to claim full marks in all 4 subjects.  One is to pass with honour and the other is simply to pass.  Those who simply pass and do not pass with honour have to experience punishment. Because of not passing with honour they have to experience some punishment.  Therefore, you have to pass fully in every subject. 28/06/77 av          there are marks received through carrying out the business of the yagya and also doing physical service.  This one hundred per cent will also help you to pass with honour.  04/07/71 av

          So they have sweetness in their interaction, and an attitude of unlimited disinterest in their mind.  If you have the awareness of both of these, you will pass with honor. 01/08/71 av

          Be free and let there be no influence, that is, be detached and loving.  There has to be this practice for a long period of time.  In order to pass with honour, it is essential to pass in this practice.  Only then will you be able to be double light, attain the karmateet stage and claim a double crown.  29/12/89 av

          There should be a balance in every aspect.  

          You children should keep the knowledge of the world cycle in your intellect whilst walking and moving around. You are the living lighthouses. This will be the stage of those who are to pass with honour.

09/01/2001 sakar

          Only by being a spinner of the discus will you become an emperor who is a ruler of the globe. 

          Only those who transform the suffering of karma into karma yoga; only such a soul who tolerates everything through the physical organs as a detached observer is called one of the eight jewels.  At such a time they are those who are victorious, because the eight jewels have the eight powers all the time.  Only such souls who become part of the eight are those who give the blessing of the powers to the bhagats and so become the special deities. 04/12/72 av

To renounce the consciousness of “mine” is the greatest and most subtle renunciation.  The basis of the eight jewels is also this renunciation.

If you wish to become number one, you must put knowledge and yoga into your practical form.  13/10/92 av

In order to become number one, the easiest method is to become constantly great donors.  To be constantly great donors means to be constant, easy servers.  Because only those who are easy can be constant.  To be constant servers means to be constantly great donors.  02/12/93 av

Because of the godly vision, that soul becomes an elevated soul of the godly world.

The memorial of this elevated praise and elevated value is today even worshipped and sung in the form of the nine jewels. The nine jewels have been remembered as being the ones that destroy all varieties of obstacles. Each jewel is said to have its own speciality; to be the destroyer of a particular obstacle. They may wear them in the form of a ring, put them into a locket, or keep them in some form in their home, yet they keep these jewels. Even now until the last birth, you have been seeing your own memorial in this form of being the destroyer of obstacles. It is true that all are numberwise, but even though all are numberwise, yet still all are invaluable, and the destroyer of obstacles.

Why is that? It is because whether or not you yourself realize your own value, Baba has seen the worthiness of you souls, and has made you belong to Him. Baba has accepted you. You are mine. I am yours. If the vision of the Father falls on a soul, then because of the Godly vision, that soul becomes invaluable. Because of the Godly vision, that soul becomes an elevated soul of the Godly world. By entering into a relationship with Parasnath (the Lord who bestows the divine intellect), the soul is influenced by the colour of divinity. And by receiving the vision of Godly love, that soul becomes elevated throughout the kalpa. Both in the form of the living deities, and then for half a kalpa in the form of the non-living images of the deities, and the variety of memorials and that is the stars. Whatever forms the memorial takes throughout the kalpa; you are the ones who have been loved by all.

Why is this? Because you have received the vision of love from the eternal Ocean of love. You have claimed the right to be loved throughout the entire cycle. This is why the bhagats are desperate and thirsty for even a moment, or half a moment of that drishti. They want to experience that vision by which they can go beyond. Therefore the vision of love at this moment makes you worthy of experiencing eternal love. You are able to receive eternal benefit automatically. They remember you with love. They keep you with love. They see you with love.

The second aspect is the cleanliness that is the purity. At this moment it is through Baba that you claim your birthright of purity. You recognize purity, that is cleanliness, as being your original religion, and you imbibe purity. Because of this, there is still the system of cleanliness and purity wherever they keep your memorial images. For half a kalpa you were sustained by purity in a pure world. For half a kalpa you were born through purity and sustained by purity. And for half a kalpa you were worshipped with purity.

The third aspect is that they look after you from the depths of their hearts, recognising you to be elevated and invaluable. Why is this? It is because at this moment God Himself, in the form of the Mother and the Father, is taking care of you children, and sustaining you all. Because of this imperishable sustenance, throughout the kalpa they look after you with deep love, great royalty and regard. They take care of you with that eternal love. There is now such love, such cleanliness, such purity. You are looked after with such affection that you become worthy of this eternally. 02/03/85 av

The game of one second

 The wonderful game of one second through which you can pass with honour. The game of one second is to be in the body for one moment and to go beyond the body in the next and remain stable in the avyakt stage. Do you practice this game of one second, so that you are able to remain stable in whatever stage you want as and when you want?  The final paper will be of just one second.  Those who fluctuate in this second will fail and those who remain unshakeable will pass.  Do you have such controlling power?  Now, you should practice this intensely.  The more upheaval there is, the more peaceful your stage should be.  An ocean is very noisy externally, but deep down, it is extremely silent; similarly, you need to have this practice.  Only those who have controlling power will be able to control the world.  How would those who are not able to control themselves rule the world?  You need the power to pack up.  In one second, you should be able to go into the essence of the expansion and in one second, go into the expansion of the essence; this is the wonderful game. 13/01/78 av

The practice of controlling the subtle power of your thoughts should be easy.

The maharathis should practice applying a full-stop when the intellect is scattered in many directions due to the expansion of thoughts. You need to practice this in advance: to stop as soon as you say, "Stop".  This is the gift for the eight jewels.  Not even one second should be wasted anywhere else.  This is why there are only eight who pass.  Do you have such a practice?  The practice of controlling the subtle power of your thoughts should be as easy as controlling your physical hands.  In fact, this is about controlling the expansion of thoughts, whereas people have taken it to mean control of the breath. Here, instead of going into expansion, you have to stabilize yourself in one thought, whereas those people started the practice of controlling their breathing.  Those who have one thought should be able to stabilize their intellect for as long as they want. 18/06/77 av

Have you made all three stages of being incorporeal, angelic and corporeal the same? 

          Just as you find it easy to stabilize yourself in the corporeal form, so too, do you experience it just as easy to stabilize yourself in your angelic form which is your perfect form, and in your eternal form which is the incorporeal stage?  The corporeal form is your original form and the incorporeal form is your eternal form.  So which form should it be easy to stabilize in?  What need is there to bring into your awareness the form of what you are and how you are?  Have you not as yet become an embodiment of remembrance?  Is this the stage at the end, or is it that those who practice this over a long period of time are able to attain this stage and pass with honour?  At present, the thought in the mind of effort-makers is that they will become victorious, free from obstacles and the destroyers of obstacles at the end.  This thought is a royal form of carelessness, that is, it is royal form of Maya; it creates an obstacle to your becoming complete.  09/01/75 av

Practice: Bodiless stage.

As soon as you have the thought, you should become bodiless.  When you have the thought to become stable in the stage of being a master ocean of love, you should become that form.  Now, increase your practice.  You will then claim a scholarship on the basis of this practice. 08/01/79 av 

          Practice becoming bodiless as soon as you have that thought.  No matter how busy you are in service or how much your work is pulling you, or even if your intellect is very busy in this work, at such a time, try to become bodiless. Are you able to do this in one second?  To take the support of the body when you wish and to let go of the support of the body when you wish and to stabilize yourself in your bodiless stage?  Do you have this experience whilst walking and moving around?  Just as you have adopted the body, in the same way, to become detached from the body: do you have the same experience of both these stages?  This experience is the basis of claiming the first number. 15/07/73 av

Practice remaining aware that you are a trustee and free from all bondages. 

Practice having that karmateet stage that you will have during the extreme situations of the final moments; only then would it be said that you haven’t changed “Yours” into “mine”, that you haven’t been dishonest with the treasures entrusted to you.  Just as you have traffic control of your thoughts every now and again, so too, practice your stage of the final moments, of the extreme times. Then, at the end, you will be able to pass with honour. 26/11/79 av

Maharathis chart – how many of my thoughts became practical today?

Maharathis should now keep this chart: Whatever thoughts I have during the day, whatever words emerge from my lips, how many of them take a practical form?  Thought is the seed.  Powerful seeds will give good fruit.  This is known as thoughts taking a practical form. 

For this, you have to pay attention to making your every thought and word powerful.  Those whose thoughts and words take a practical form are revealed, because of that success. 

          In bhakti, many gods and goddesses are very well-known whereas others are not.  They are known as gods and goddesses, but they are not so well-known. The basis of becoming well-known is to make your thoughts and words take a practical form. Through this, you will automatically become an avyakt angel and your time will be saved.  You will automatically stop speaking because you have to go to the land of silence.  This is why those sanskars of silence and of being an angel will automatically pull you towards themselves.  Service will also expand so much that you will not have any chance of doing service through words.  You will then definitely do service through your eyes, through your smiling face and the sparkling jewel on your forehead.  You will be able to increase this practice when you keep your chart.  This is the chart of maharathis.  Maharathis should no longer keep the chart of whether they caused sorrow for anyone or whether they indulged in vice.  That is the chart of the cavalry.  The chart of maharathis has to be something great.  16/10/75 av a personal meeting

No thought of another soul in the mind.

No matter what the situation is: whether of your mind or your body or of your relationships and connections, no other soul should enter your thoughts.  The very second you even have the awareness of another soul even in your thoughts, an account is created.  This is why only eight pass completely.  21/09/75 av

Easy nature and become an example.

Those who have an easy nature make others easy in their nature.  To have an easy nature means whatever you hear or see, it should be full of essence and you should only take the essence.  Whatever action you perform, it should be full of essence.  Then your effort will be easy, and the one who is an easy effort-maker makes others into easy effort-makers.  Those who are easy-effort makers are all-rounders in every aspect.  There will be nothing lacking.  There will not be any lack of courage in any aspect.  Words will never emerge from their lips in which they say that they cannot do something.  By having this main practice, you will become an example in every aspect.  You can become an example in every aspect and pass with honour.  21/01/71 av party   

Must have this courage

        Even if the whole world tries to shake you, you are more powerful than the souls of the entire world.  Those who pass in this way will become the jewels who stay close to BapDada.  You will pass with honour: you must have this courage. 

You have to transform yourself from being fragile and become one who shows wonders. You must not show your nature of being delicate, but you just have to become delicate in being able to transform your sanskars. You must not be delicate in actions; you have to be the embodiment of power in this.  If you do not constantly have the shield of being a Shakti, then you can easily be hit with an arrow.  An arrow is normally shot at a delicate part of the body.  Therefore, if you hold the shield of being an embodiment of power, you become an embodiment of power.  Then any arrow of Maya is not able to hit you.  You must not be delicate in your actions.  In order to mould yourself, you must become real gold.  You must show no nature of being delicate through your face, features or eyes.  Whilst keeping all these things in your awareness, you have to pass with honour.    11/06/71 av

Avoid bad company. 

           You must constantly pay attention to one aspect: instead of influencing yourself with the bad company of others, you must continue to protect yourself. There are many varieties of influences of bad company:  relations, words, food, and action.

The company of your relations:  In that, there are not only your family relations, but together with the family relations, there is also the company of other relations.  The company of friends is also the company of relations.  So don't ever get trapped in the company of any relations.  Don't ever get influenced by the words of anyone either.  You can be coloured in the wrong way even simply through words.  You must protect yourself from this too. 

Then, there is also a bad influence through food.  If you get influenced by food due to circumstances or because of the love of any relation, that food will also colour you with that company.  Therefore, you must protect yourself from this too. There is also influence of company in action.  You must protect yourself from this as well.  Only then will you pass with honour.  If you pass in the paper of not allowing yourself to be coloured by any company, then you can consider yourself to have passed with honour.  11/06/71 av  

No weaknesses should remain.

If, according to the time and the drama, there are some weaknesses remaining, you are only allowed 5%, and no more.  If there are more weaknesses than this, then understand that you are far from your final stage. The jewels who are to be close to him should at least be so close that only 5% difference remains.  The father has already become avyakt, and if there is a difference of 50% in the jewels who are close to him, then would you call this close?  Can such souls come within the eight? 04/08/72 av 

Marks

Together with service, there should be the record of service free from obstacles. You keep a record of purity from the beginning. Who is it that hasn’t become impure even in thoughts from the beginning until now? You will not pass with honour with just this one aspect of purity. However, you look to see who has been unshakeable, who hasn’t had any type of upheaval and hasn’t been influenced by any obstacles in service, in their own stage, in their connections and relationships, and in remembrance. You were told that you must neither be influenced by obstacles nor must you become an obstacle for others. Marks are accumulated on the basis of this too. One is purity, and the other is unadulterated remembrance. Let there not be the slightest obstacle in your remembrance. In this way, always remain free from obstacles in service, be content with your virtues and make others content. The virtue of contentment is the mirror for imbibing all virtues. So, in your virtues, you have to receive a certificate for contentment with yourself and also from others. This is a sign of being one of the eight jewels.

If you become one of the eight, you will also become just as great in being one of the especially beloved deities. For this, remember three things throughout the whole year and check yourself. If any of these three things still remain in you, even in your thoughts, then bid farewell to them. By maintaining this attention, you will automatically pass with honour. First: There should be no type of attachment to limited things.  Attachment to the Father is something else, but there should be no attachment to limited things. Second: There should be no type of tension; neither within the self nor with others.  There should not be the slightest conflict nor there any attachment. 

Third: There should not be any type of weak nature.

Therefore, none of you should let your nature be dependent on anything. The Father’s nature is the children’s nature. What is the Father’s nature? His nature is constantly to have benevolent and merciful feelings for every soul. His nature is of uplifting everyone. It is a sweet nature, a nature of humility. Never say, “My nature is like that.” Where did “mine” come from? Speaking harshly is my nature. Being forceful is my nature. This happens because of my nature. This is Maya! Some have a nature of arrogance, jealousy or becoming forceful. Some have a nature of being disheartened. Even though they may be good, they don’t consider themselves to be good. They would always consider themselves to be weak. “I cannot move forward. I cannot do this.” To have this nature of being disheartened is also wrong. So, that type of nature is called a weak nature.

Let there be a balance in everything. The balance of remembrance and service Self-respect finishes arrogance. Remain stable in your self-respect. Not too entertaining, not too serious. Let there be a balance. So, first is balance.

Secondly, always claim special blessings from the Father at amrit vela. Every day at amrit vela, BapDada opens His apron of blessings for you children. You can take as much as you want from that. So, balance, blessings, and thirdly, a blissful life. By having these three things in your awareness, the three things you have to pay attention to will automatically end.

1. Reality in everything, nothing mixed. This is called reality. To be real in your thoughts, words and everything The Lord is pleased with an honest heart. What is the sign of truth? The soul dances when there is truth. Those who are honest will always continue to dance in happiness.

So, one is reality, the next is royalty. Let your intellect not become subservient in trivial matters. The vision of royal children is never drawn to little things. If their vision is pulled, that is not called royal. If the intellect becomes subservient to little things, that is not called royalty. Those who are royal are always embodiments of attainment. Neither their vision nor their intellect is ever pulled anywhere. So, this is spiritual royalty. Not royalty of clothes. So, reality, royalty and thirdly, unity.

Let unity be visible amongst you in every situation, in your thoughts, words and deeds. Brahmin means one. Not a hundred thousand, but one. This is called unity. There, because of having many different stages, one becomes many, whereas here, whilst there are many, you become one. This is called unity. You mustn’t look at others. “I wish to be in unity, but this one isn’t becoming united.” If you continue to remain in unity, others won’t have a chance to become disunited. If one person raises his hand to clap and the other one doesn’t give his hand, there won’t be any sound. If someone is doing anything that brings disunity, you just maintain your unity. Then, those who have disunity will not be able to carry out the task of disunity. They will have to come into that unity. Therefore, remember the three things: reality, royalty and unity. All these three things will constantly co-operate with you in your becoming equal to the Father. 30/03/85 av

Memorials:

The eight deities are the ones specially loved by the bhagats.  The specially loved ones mean those who are the great, worship-worthy souls.  Every bhagat receives every type of method for success from their specially loved deities.  13/01/78 av

          Some special deities are worshipped daily, whereas others are only worshipped sometimes.  Some are worshipped accurately according to discipline and others are worshipped according to convenience.  Some are constantly worshipped with great pomp and splendour with many various things and others are only sometimes worshipped and with splendour. 

The rosary of bhagats of some of the deities is huge; they have a large number of bhagats, whereas others only have a few bhagats.  However, those of the Brahmin dynasty will definitely become part of the royal dynasty; you will definitely become either an important special deity or a less important special deity; but all of you will become the special deities of the bhagats. 26/12/78 av

Each jewel is specially remembered for a particular obstacle.

           Each jewel is complete, yet each one has its own main speciality.  This is why the nine jewels are worshipped collectively and also individually; each jewel is specially remembered for a particular obstacle.  For instance, if someone has a problem or obstacle regarding money, then in order to attain wealth, or in order to finish the lack of money, they have a special jewel.  If they have received a lot of marks through sickness, the memorial of that is that, even now, they wear a ring or a locket that they have specially made, which they wear all the time. 28/04/77 av party

The nine jewels have been remembered as being the ones that destroy all varieties of obstacles. By receiving the vision of Godly love, that soul becomes elevated throughout the kalpa. Both in the form of the living deities, and then for half a kalpa in the form of the non-living images of the deities, and the variety of memorials and that is the stars. av

In the Golden Age will there will be eight couples?

(Will there will be eight couples?)  Those who sit on the throne will be eight.  There are the eight deities in terms of the account of their throne.  Those who become females have a different part.  However, eight will sit on the throne.  The eight will be seated on the throne.  It is said: Narayan the first, Narayan the second.  The status of a king is higher; the stage of a female is second.  The eight special deities are not in terms of the account of being couples, but in terms of the account of effort.  Both males and females can come within that.  Eight are those who become the special ones who will claim the throne.  This doesn't mean that whoever becomes Lakshmi will not claim the throne.  If not in the first birth, then in some other birth, she will definitely claim it... 19/04/69 av 

Conclusion:

Subtle region - service

At present, there is a special gathering of the mahavirs in the subtle region.  Just as BapDada served many by granting them a vision of perfect Brahma at the beginning of creation, so too, nowadays, Baba is also serving by giving visions through you special eight, of your special deity form and your Shakti form. You remain busy using your physical body to do physical service for God, but many special elevated souls are now doing double service.  Just as at the start, the yagya grew through Brahma, so too, now through the visions of the combined form of you Shiv Shaktis, the task of giving visions and giving the message is being carried out through your subtle bodies.  Therefore, BapDada is making you special children co-operate with Him in doing service. The gathering takes place there to make the practical plans for this subtle service.  This is why you mahavir children have to remain free from any bondage of karma and remain double-light whilst performing every act.  In the future you will experience many times Baba making you emerge in the subtle region and doing service through you.  You now have to play this part of doing double service.  By gathering you special children, BapDada is able to give touchings to both the devotee souls and scientists.  Baba is filling those souls with sanskaras of special devotion so that they can make the path of devotion continue for half a cycle.  He is also inspiring scientists to bring about transformation and to create refined instruments.  As soon as the instruments are completely perfected, you perfected souls will experience the happiness of those. The scientists themselves will not be able to experience that.  Both tasks are being carried out through subtle service. 

          No matter how busy all of you are, Baba still gets His work accomplished.  Have you experienced your perfect form?  Just as this corporeal one became angelic, so too, there is a perfect angelic form of each of you.  All of you corporeal beings will become angelic, numberwise. Is it better to serve having become angelic or is it better to change your corporeal form and serve (with your next form)?  Those in the advance party have changed their corporeal body and are serving through that.  However, some will play a part to the end through their combined corporeal and angelic bodies.  What is your part?  Some play being part of the advance party and others play their part of serving through their subtle body.  Both roles are important.  The task of the advance party is no less.  25/01/80 av didi

The judgement is given by the eight jewels. 

The future is becoming just as clear to the very special children because they are close to the Father and co-operate with Him in every task.  Therefore, the eight jewels are the Chief Justice.  The judgement given by the Chief Justice is the final word.  The Father presides, but the children are the Chief Justice.  The judgement is given by the children.  07/01/78 av 

Revelation of those special gods

          So, Baba will be clearly revealed but, together with Baba, there will also be the revelation of those special gods and goddesses. And now, through Baba, give those souls the return of their remembrance. It will be from Baba that they will receive, but you will be the instruments responsible for that. This is why those special deities are worshipped and remembered. The special bhagats fast on particular days and make special spiritual endeavor.

          BapDada is here, of course, but the special, unique children are also with Him. There should be this feeling in a practical form, just as there is the custom of giving blessings which also will be experienced in this way. When Brahma Baba had reached perfection everyone would naturally feel they were receiving blessings from him as he walked and moved, as he looked. In the same way, as you walk and move, experience fulfilling souls through the Father. There will be no need for you to say anything with the lips but, because there will be the experience of attainment and benefit, the words, "These are those souls", will come from everyone's lips. They will sing this song. That day has to come. 11/11/85 av

You will very soon see in a practical way the status of others.

The royal family of the future kingdom will now begin to be revealed. You heard BapDada say that, at the end, you will have a clear vision of everything.  The drama of everyone being able to see through divine vision will be something else, but you will also see everything in the practical form.  Souls will very soon reveal their reality in their form of royalty in a practical way.  No one will then have any questions as to whether something is to happen or not.  If you were all to be numbered now, there would be questions rose such as, “How did this one get this?”; “This one should be like this.”  Now, you will very soon see all of this in a practical way as to who is to become the king, who is to become the queen and who will become part of the royal family. Even though some may be equal or may be seen as having a plus grade at this time, there will still be the different numbers of one and two etc., because the philosophy of effort is very deep. You are able to see at present the speciality of each one’s effort. However, just as a diamond hidden under dirt is sometimes very clearly visible and other times invisible, so too, according to the efforts of the present time, all are visible as sparkling diamonds. However, at the end - not the end of the final moments, but a short time before the end of the confluence age - revelation will take place.  Whilst you are playing your part of revelation, your number in the present rosary and also your future royal form will be revealed.  So the royalty of the royal family will be visible in practical form even now.  At the moment, you are not even able to find the eight! At this time, there is a question mark about finding the correct eight, and as to whether someone should be placed amongst the eight or not.  At this time, souls are being polished by their intense efforts. Whilst being polished, some of the weaknesses become hidden.  Although there are the eight, they must have lacked something at the start, although there wouldn't have been enough lacking to be seen visibly; this is why they are being polished.  19/12/78 av Dadi
