Dadi Janki 18.8.12 – GRC, European Teachers Retreat
The Benefit of Truth and Cleanliness
Baba gives such murlis where he is reminding us of what is the golden age and how it will be there. Baba used to stay awake at night to finish off the distress and sorrow of the world and, secondly, to bring about the golden aged world. Become conquerors of sleep. Previously we used to sit in front of the pictures of the cycle and the tree in the History Hall during amrit vela. Now we sit in front of Baba. It is from Baba that we receive the knowledge of the beginning, continuation and end. Only when all souls have gone back home can the world be called the golden age. These are very delightful and wonderful things. It was Brahma Baba who had studied the scriptures but Shiv Baba who explained the significance in such a way that no human being could have interpreted them. Set aside all other concerns. Baba has so much concern for our sustenance. You receive full sustenance here. To copy Madhuban is to copy Baba. There is no meeting of the Ganges and the Ocean, but there is the meeting between the Brahmaputra River and the Ocean. In the Kumbha Mela, there are three rivers, the Ganges, Jamuna and Sindh Saraswati.
Some have done such service, that they have created their memorial. We need to have truth and humility, and also the quality of harmonizing with all. We are sitting at the wonderful gathering of confluence age. We are sitting in the great gathering here, with a variety of children who all have visible love for Baba. When there is love for one another and service is done together, one likes to be present in that kind of gathering. We have time, money and energy to use well and not to be wasted. We have family feeling. It is our duty to tell people the truth. Whether in Bharat or foreign lands, our role of doing service has changed.
Make good effort to understand the depth of 'Who am I?' Make such effort that you become very royal and real and then the conscience will not bite internally. Effort means that I should closely observe my thoughts, words and actions. If there is a mistake, immediately ask for forgiveness. No need to sit and cry about it or make it bigger than it is. We have to bow, learn and die. You can accept that you are wrong, but not regret to such an extent that you give yourself a headache. Keep a lot of patience, which is what is needed to make the thoughts pure, elevated, clean and determined. Be careful that no impure thoughts arise. There is still time. We are receiving such elevated knowledge to be inculcated now. We have to clean our mirror, so that we can see what we have to do. If I look at others' activity, my mirror becomes dirty. If I look at others' weaknesses, I am unable to see my own, because it dirties my mirror. Then it becomes progressively more dirty. In order to make yourself good, know about shadows, omens and the canopy.
Sometimes there is a little bit of a shadow over the head and we are not able to do as well as we could. Keep your eyes wide open and your heart so clean, so that the remembrance of Baba keeps pulling you. Let there be increasing enthusiasm for moving forward. These things are missing when there is a shadow. Because of lack of attention, you come under the influence of another person. It's not a spirit, but it's the shadow of someone's influence. The conscience isn't clear and cannot be used properly to discern. It is very harmful and dangerous to be in this state of being influenced. You should avoid the company of such souls, have powerful yoga so that they are freed from their negative omens and also you don't come under that negative influence.
Always have this feeling in your heart and mind of the eight powers. Not first in the head, but in your heart and then this is visible through your eyes. The heart is happy, the eyes are cool and nature is simple. This is the meaning of effort. Not happy just like that, but happiness that arises through deep understanding. Keep your heart clean and make yourself truthful. To keep yourself clean is a separate duty. In an instant, place yourself personally in front of Baba and clean your heart. When there is cleanliness, there are no infections. In a gathering some get infections easily. Then they don't feel comfortable. But this doesn't happen to those who have a clean heart. With infection, you have to take such medicines that they weaken you.
You can have a life like a diamond through having a clean heart. The cowrie shell has no value. By inculcating values in life, you have a life like a diamond. Baba said that the Supreme Soul has His part filled in Him and we have our part. The matter of great happiness is that we know this part. The jeweller knows how valuable each diamond is. Baba had this intoxication in his lokik life. This is the gathering of jewels, diamonds and pearls. Valuable ones do not come under influences quickly. They won't make hasty deals. Baba's words were often, 'Wait and see'. You are all wise. You don't react quickly to things. You are mature, deep and intelligent. Someone who is truthful has strength. There is power in truth. It is Baba who has made me true. Truthfulness destroys blind faith and places pure true feelings in us.
Who is ready to do service that will open people's eyes? When your heart is clean, there will be no infection. You will be healthy, wealthy and happy. This is the benefit of cleanliness. Baba is the Bestower. He teaches us to be bestowers. Find ten minutes to revise the murli - with others or even alone. This will bring you close together and you will not forget these churnings. To discuss knowledge is good, because otherwise you get caught up in wasteful and harmful conversations. Do not get involved in waste discussions. When the knowledge is dripping from your mouth, then wherever you go, with whomsoever you share it, they will ask you to come back. Then people will get the feeling to serve the yagya in some way. Baba is happy when we do service with a true heart. I become happy and so does the one being served. He is the Bestower of Blessings and the Bestower of Fortune. First give the donation of knowledge, donate virtues, give time. Then a person's fortune opens up and they are able to start receiving blessings from Baba. You are receiving these blessings from Baba and are using them in service. There is great strength in Baba's words. You get strength do this in a practical way and won't waste time thinking about it.
In a second remove from your thinking the words, 'Why did it happen?' It's OK, it won't happen again. Then the mind will have time to do true service.
Om shanti
