Daily Positive Thoughts: August 17, 2014: Your Inner Drama Queen

 

Your Inner Drama Queen

Some of us have a talent for melodrama. We blow things out of proportion - creating 'dramas' out of little things. All this can get a little too exhausting, for us and others. Try steering your Inner Drama Queen away from over-exaggerated emotions and over-reactions. Being a drama queen doesn't have to be negative, we all need a little bit of flamboyance. Use your dramatic tendencies to share funny stories, entertain others, to relieve stress and promote stronger interpersonal relationships.

Self-respect

The more respect is measured on the basis of something external, the
greater the desire for recognition from others. On the other hand,
true self-respect comes from an appreciation of our inner qualities.
This then keeps us free from expectations and we will be able to
provide an environment of freedom for each one's growth. I need to
start the day with a thought that brings self-respect. I need to tell
myself that I am special and also use this specialty throughout the
day. I will then not dominate or limit the freedom of anyone but will
naturally treat with humility.

Understanding The Mechanism Of The Virtue Of Peace (cont.)

Yesterday we have explained how the virtue of peace works in human souls through the cycle of life. In today's message we explain (with reference to yesterday's message) how we can experience our original state of peace experienced during the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle. Tomorrow we shall explain how we can experience the eternal peace of the soul world. To have both these experiences, the basic principle that I need to remember is that to experience peace, I need to concentrate on it - concentration means creating thoughts about it and visualizing it at the same time. Secondly to access peace, I need to separate myself from my body and surroundings. So how do I bring these two principles in practice?

The first chapter of the Rajyoga meditation course as taught by the Brahma Kumaris in each of its centers states a simple fact and makes me realize it that I am not this body but I am an eternal soul, a non-physical star like spiritual energy, situated at the centre of the forehead, just above the eyebrows, the original nature of which is peace. The body is my vehicle. Now, to experience the peace experienced during the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle, my mind picks the above fact or wisdom from my intellect, which is a reservoir of spiritual knowledge and where the above fact is stored. Then, my intellect, which possesses the decision making ability judges the thought as to whether it is a right or wrong one. If my intellect is convinced about the fact, it judges the thought as right. Next, I take this process further. Along with creating this thought I visualize this thought on the screen of my mind i.e. see my star-like white/golden light form just above the eyebrows radiating white/golden rays of peace in all directions. I do this exercise for a few minutes. This exercise then leads me to an experience of peace, as a result of which a sanskara of peace is created. This is the peace experienced whilst visualizing the spiritual self inside the body -it is the peace experienced in the initial phases of the birth-rebirth cycle.

Soul Sustenance

Seeing With Spiritual Eyes

My eyes are the most powerful medium through which I, the soul, not only absorb information from the outside to the inside but also express myself to others from the inside to outside. All that the soul possesses inside it or is made up of in the form of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, positive virtues, even weaknesses, in fact all personality traits, are expressed through my eyes to others and shared with others. As I look towards others, my eyes can be used to shower others with pure love, peace, joy, power etc. and the same eyes, if not used appropriately, can shower others with anger, jealousy, criticism, hatred etc. My eyes also express whatever wisdom or knowledge I possess inside.

When I stay in the awareness that I am a soul, a spiritual being of subtle light, situated at the center of my forehead, my eyes are used to see others in the same way with a spiritual vision. This leads to my spiritual upliftment. When I stay in the awareness that I am a body, my eyes are used to see others in the same way with a non-spiritual or a body-conscious vision. This brings me down on a spiritual level. A spiritual vision helps me see others with a sense of equality, instead of with feelings of comparison or competitiveness.Usually, on a physical level, I create all sorts of impressions of another person from just one glance through my eyes, about their age, gender, looks, position in society, job, how rich they are, their dressing sense, caste, nationality etc. and many a times, very commonly, I make various assumptions about their personality or behaviour. In the state of soul-consciousness, that changes. Looking out I see souls, and I see them as my brothers, on exactly the same level as me, neither higher, nor lower. A spiritual vision reminds me of the original, positive qualities of each soul, instead of their present personality. It also reminds me that each soul has incarnated from the soul world to play its various roles through different physical costumes in this unlimited drama on the world stage. Age, gender, appearances, status etc. which are visible to me today are just temporary ones. The same soul has been in the past and will be in the future in different physical costumes or roles, where all these have been and will be different and the same applies to me too.This makes me rise above comparisons and I am no longer judgmental about the other.

Message for the day

To serve with the heart, with love is to guarantee success.

Projection: When we have to be of help to others, we sometimes find ourselves doing it with force. We don't seem to be really interested in doing it but situations or people seem to be forcing us to do it. We, then, don't enjoy what we do and also don't find the benefit of it either to others or to ourselves.

Solution: We need to consciously make an effort to see what people are benefiting when we are helping them. With this conscious effort we are able to help others with love without feeling the heaviness of what we have to do. Thus, we find our actions to be much more fruitful.

Essence of Murli August 16, 2014

Essence of Murli August 16, 2014:

Essence:    Sweet children, you cannot return home without becoming pure. Therefore, charge the battery of the soul by having remembrance of the Father and become pure naturally.

Question:   What does the Father teach you before taking you home?

Answer: Children, before going back home, die alive! (jeete jee marna)This is why Baba makes you practice going beyond the consciousness of the body in advance, that is, He teaches you to die alive. To go up above means to die. (upar jaana maana marna)You have now received the knowledge of coming and going.(aana aur jaana) You souls know that you have come from up above in order to play your parts through those bodies. Originally, we were residents of that place and we now have to return there.

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      Remove your attachment from that costume, the body, and die alive! That is, settle all your past karmic accounts!

2.      In order to become double crowned, make effort to study. Imbibe divine virtues. Make effort according to your aim and your auspicious words.

Blessing:    May you be seated on the seat of trikaldarshi and achieve success with the power of determination.

The power of determination is an elevated power which easily transforms the power of carelessness. BapDada's blessing is: Where there is determination, there is definitely success. Simply become an embodiment of success using the right method (vidhi se siddhi swaroop)according to the time. Before performing any deed, think about it and carefully consider its beginning, middle and end and then perform the deed or enable it to be performed, that is, be seated on the seat of a trikaldarshi and carelessness will then finish. Let the seed of thought be powerful and filled with determination and there will definitely be easy success (sahaj safalta)  in your words and deeds.

The blessing of today is very similar to the one we received on the 14^th of August. Today Baba has talked about the power of determination. With the power of determination, we, the master almighty authorities, make the impossible possible... by having determination in our thoughts, we have instant fruit... with the power to decide, the power to discern and the power to transform, we become the embodiments of success, loved by all... by using the right method (vidhi) according to the time, and with determination, we constantly make success the garland around our necks, no matter what happens in any situation...

 

Slogan:  Those who remain constantly content and make others content are jewels of contentment.(santushtmani)

We are the recipients of the special gift of contentment from Bapdada at the confluence age... By making everyone content with spiritual sympathy, we are constantly wealthy... we are content with the self and content with others...With tapasya from the heart, with love for everyone from the heart, with the consciousness of being instruments and by having pure feelings, we give blessings to all and receive blessings from all while doing service...we are the jewels of contentment who claim a certificate of everyone’s blessings and receive the certificate of contentment from everyone...

 

Om shanti.

There is no difficulty in considering yourself to be a soul and remembering the Father. You mustn't choke (ghukta) on that. This is called easy remembrance. First of all, you have to consider yourself to be a soul. It is a soul that adopts a body and plays a part. All the sanskars remain in the soul. The soul is independent. The Father says: Consider yourself to be a soul and remember Me, your Father. Only at this time do you receive this knowledge; you will not receive it again.

The world doesn't know you are sitting in peace. This is called natural peace. We souls came from up above to play our parts through bodies. We souls were originally residents of that place. This knowledge is in your intellects. There is no question of hatha yoga etc. in this. This is very easy. We souls now have to go back home, but we cannot go there without becoming pure. In order to become pure you have to remember the Father, the Supreme Soul. Your sins will be erased by remembering Him.

There is no question of difficulty. When you go for a walk, stay in remembrance of the Father. It is only now that you can become pure through remembrance. There, it is the pure world. There, in that pure world, there is no need for this knowledge because there are no sinful actions performed there. It is here that sins have to be absolved through remembrance.

There, you do everything naturally as you do here. Then, you come down, little by little. It isn't that you also have to have this practice there. It is now that you have to have this practice. The battery has to be charged now, and then it will gradually definitely be discharged. Only once, at this time, do you receive the knowledge of how to charge the battery. How long it takes you to become tamopradhan from satopradhan! From the beginning, the battery continues to decrease a little at a time.

There are just souls in the incorporeal world. There are no bodies there. So, there is no question there of the battery coming down naturally or the charge decreasing. It is only when the motor goes that the battery begins to discharge. When the motor is just standing, the battery does not work. The battery would start when the motor works. Although, in a motor, the battery continues to be charged, your battery is only charged once, at this time. Then, when you begin to perform actions through the body, the battery decreases a little.

First of all, explain that He is the Supreme Father, the One whom all souls remember. They say: Oh God! He is the Father and we are the children. Here, it is explained to you children how the battery has to be charged. You may tour around and remember the Father and you will become satopradhan. If you don't understand anything, you can ask. It is very easy. Our batteries discharge every 5000 years. The Father comes and charges everyone's battery.

Everyone remembers God at the time of destruction. For instance, when there is a flood, all devotees try to remember God. However, at that time, they will not be able to have remembrance of God. It would only be friends and relatives, wealth and property that is remembered. Although they say, "Oh God!", that is just for the sake of saying it. God is the Father and we are His children. They don't know this at all. They receive the incorrect knowledge of omnipresence.

The Father comes and gives you correct knowledge. The department of devotion is completely separate. They have to stumble around on the path of devotion. The night of Brahma is the night of Brahmins. The day of Brahma is the day of Brahmins. It would not be said: The day of shudras and the night of shudras. The Father sits here and explains these secrets. This is the unlimited night and day. The night is now coming to an end and you are going into the day. These words are mentioned in the scriptures.

They speak of the day of Brahma and the night of Brahma, but they do not know anything. Your intellects have now gone into the unlimited. In fact, you can say of the deities: The day of Vishnu and the night of Vishnu because the relationship between Brahma and Vishnu is explained to you. No one else can understand what the occupation of the Trimurti is.

They have put God into a fish and a crocodile (kachh-machh) and into the cycle of birth and death. (janm maran ka chakr)  Radhe and Krishna etc. are also human beings, but they have divine virtues. You now have to become like them. You will then become deities in your next birth. There was the account of 84 births, but that has now finished. It will now repeat.

 You are now receiving these teachings. The Father says: Sweetest children, have the faith that you are souls. They say that they are actors, but they don't understand how souls come down from up above. They consider themselves to be bodily beings. We souls come from up above, but when shall we go back again? To go up above means to die, to shed your body. Who wants to die?

The Father has said: Simply continue to forget your body. He teaches you how to die alive. No one else can teach you this. You have come here to go to your home. It is only now that you receive the knowledge of how to go back home. This is your final birth in the land of death. The golden age is called the land of immortality. It is now in the intellects of you children that you have to go back home quickly. First of all, you have to go to your home, the land of liberation. It is here that you have to shed the costume of that body and then the soul will go back home.

When a limited play ends, the actors take off their costumes, leave them there and put on the costumes that they wear at home and go back home. In the same way, you, too, now have to shed those costumes and return home. There are very few deities in the golden age. Here, there are countless human beings. There, there would just be the one original, eternal, deity religion.

Now they call themselves Hindus. They have forgotten their elevated religion and actions and this is why they have become unhappy. In the golden age, your religion and actions were elevated. Now, in the iron age, your religion has become corrupt. Does it enter your intellects how you have fallen?

You now give the introduction of the unlimited Father. The unlimited Father comes and creates the new world, heaven. He says: Manmanabhav! These words are from the Gita. The name given to the knowledge of easy Raja Yoga is the Gita. This is your school. When children come and study here, they say: It is the school of our Baba. For instance, the child of a principal would say: I am studying in my father's college. If his mother is also a principal, he would say: Both my mother and father are principals. Both of them are teaching. It is the college of my mother and father. You would say: This is the school of our Mama and Baba. Both of them are teaching. Both of them have opened this spiritual college or university. Both of them are teaching at the same time.

Brahma has adopted you. These are very deep matters of knowledge. The Father is not explaining anything new to you. He also gave you this explanation in the previous cycle. Yes, there is so much knowledge and it continues to become deeper day by day. Look how you receive the explanation of the soul. Such a tiny soul has a part of 84 births recorded in him. That is never destroyed. A soul is imperishable and so the part within him is also imperishable. A soul hears through the ears. There is a part when there is a body. When the soul separates from the body, you cannot get a response.

The Father now says: Children, you now have to return home. When this most auspicious confluence age comes, you have to return home. Purity is the main thing that is needed. Only pure souls reside in the land of peace. The land of peace and the land of happiness are both pure lands. There are no bodies there. Souls are pure. The battery doesn't discharge there. When you adopt a body here, the motor begins to work. When the motor is standing still, the petrol is not reduced.

The lights of you souls have now become very dim; they haven't gone completely out. When a person dies, people ignite an earthenware lamp, and they look after it very carefully so that it doesn't go out. The light of a soul never goes out completely; it is imperishable. The Father sits here and explains all of these things. Baba knows that you are very sweet children and that you have been burnt by sitting on the pyre of lust. I am awakening you again. You became completely tamopradhan corpses. You didn't know the Father at all. Human beings are of no use at all. The ashes of human beings are of no use. It isn't that the ashes of important people are useful whereas those of poor people aren't. Everything gets mixed: ashes to ashes and dust to dust, (mitti se mitti) no matter who it is. Some people have cremation ceremonies whereas others have burials. Parsis keep the corpses on a tower over a well and the birds come and eat the flesh. The bones then fall into the well. That is at least useful.

So many people in the world die. You now have to shed your body automatically. You have come here to shed your body and return home, that is, you have come here to die. You go in happiness because you are going to the land of liberation-in-life. Whatever part each one of you has played, you will play that same part till the end. The Father will continue to inspire you to make effort and will continue to watch as the detached Observer. This is a matter of understanding. There is no question of being afraid in this. We ourselves are making effort to shed our bodies in order to go to heaven. You simply have to continue to remember the Father and your final thoughts will then lead you to your destination. (ant mati so gati) This requires effort.

There is effort in every study. God has to come to teach you, so the study must definitely be a great one. Divine virtues are needed here. You have to become Lakshmi and Narayan. They existed in the golden age. You have come here to become golden-aged deities once again. The aim and objective is so easy! The Trimurti is also clear.

How could you explain if you didn't have the pictures of Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar? Brahma becomes Vishnu and Vishnu becomes Brahma. They show eight arms of Brahma and 100 arms of Brahma because Brahma has so many children. So, they have made those pictures. However, it isn't that there are human beings with so many arms. Ravan with ten heads is also symbolic; there is no human being like that.

The Father sits here and explains this. People do not know anything. This is also a play. No one knows when this began. They say that it has existed from time immemorial.(It is a parampara) Ah! but when was that? The Father teaches you sweetest children. He is the Teacher and also the Guru. So, you children should have so much happiness.

On whose directions are these museums etc. opened? Here, there is just the mother, the Father and the children. There are so many children. Centres continue to be opened according to directions. People say: You say that God speaks through a chariot, so grant us a vision! Ah! but have you had a vision of a soul? How would you be able to have a vision of such a tiny point? There is no need for it. It is just a matter of knowing the soul. The soul resides in the centre of the forehead, and such a big body functions on that basis. You now neither have a crown of light nor a jewel-studded crown. You are once again making effort to claim both crowns. You claim your inheritance from the Father every cycle.

Baba asks you: Have we met before? You say: Yes, Baba. We have been meeting every cycle. Why? To become Lakshmi and Narayan. Everyone would say the same thing. The Father says: Achcha, since you are saying auspicious things, now make effort! Not everyone will become Narayan from an ordinary man. Subjects are also needed.

There is the story of the true Narayan. Those people relate that story, but nothing enters their intellects. You children understand that that is the land of peace, the incorporeal world. From there, you will go to the land of happiness. It is only the one Father who takes you to the land of happiness. Explain to anyone and tell him: We are now to return home. Only the bodiless Father will take all souls home. The Father has now come, but they don't know Him.

The Father says: They don't even know the one whose body I enter. There is the chariot too. Every soul enters a chariot. The soul of everyone resides in the centre of the forehead. The Father comes and sits in the centre of the forehead. He explains very easily. Only the one Father is the Purifier. All the children of the Father are the same and each one has his own part. No one can interfere with that. Achcha.

To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 16, 2014: Seeds

Hemp Seeds

Seeds
What we see today may not be just the fruit of chance but the fruit of seeds planted in the past. Plant seeds of peace now and create a life of peace in the future.

Trust

It is normally experienced that it is difficult to trust all the people
around us. We do want to but the negative experiences (when people
don't fulfill our expectations) do not let us do so. We tend to add
up to this negative experience with each incident that happens, which
further breaks our trust for people. The only way to trust and gain
people's trust is by having respect for them. Respect makes us look at
the specialties in everyone and we are able to relate to these
specialties. The more we look at the positive aspect in others, the
more we are able to encourage others to use these specialties and
relate to our own specialties too. This is the only way that trust
comes.

Understanding The Mechanism Of The Virtue Of Peace

Each and every human soul's original trait or characteristic is peace. Before each soul comes down on the earth to take its first physical body, the soul is in a state of complete peace, residing in the soul world. In the soul world, the two faculties of the soul - the mind and intellect are complete inactive or dormant and the third faculty, the sanskara or spiritual personality is only that of eternal peace and purity and no other virtue like happiness, love or knowledge.The mind is completely silent, not creating a single thought or emotion or feeling nor possessing an attitude. The intellect which possesses the power to discriminate right thoughts, words or actions from the wrong ones does not exercise its power because there are no thoughts, words or actions in the soul world, so there is nothing there to discriminate. The sanskaras (as mentioned above) are also inactive to a certain extent - there are no thoughts, feelings, emotions, attitudes, words or actions to be created or processed, which would be based on the sanskaras or personality.

When the soul first takes a physical body on the world stage, it creates thoughts and feelings which are few in number and they are only positive and its words and actions are also limited and completely positive. Its discrimination power is active and completely accurate and its sanskarasor personality come into an active mode (sanskaras other than peace also become active) but only for a positive purpose to create positive thoughts, words or actions. As a result of this, the soul experiences immense peace, but the extent of the peace is lesser than that of in the soul world, where it is completely still and experiences dead silence or peace. It is never peaceless though at this stage. As the soul starts coming into the process of birth and rebirth, its starts losing its energy slowly; its mind, intellect and sanskarasstart functioning negatively or incorrectly, it begins to succumb to the vices, leading to the creation of thoughts, words and actions, which are not only large in number but they are mostly waste or negative in nature. As a result, the soul gradually begins to lose its peace, which it experienced in the soul world (eternal peace) and at the start of its journey on the physical world and starts becoming peaceless.

Tomorrow we shall explain how we can return to our original state of peace.

Cooking And Eating With A Spiritual Touch (cont.)

Having prepared food with attention (which we have explained over the last two days), the Brahma Kumaris' practice is then to offer the freshly-prepared meal to the Supreme Soul. We call it offering bhog (or commonly called prasad) to the Supreme Father. As a part of this practice, positive energy or vibrations of love, bliss and peace taken from the Supreme via meditation for 5-10 minutes, is given to the food prepared, by keeping a small portion of the food in a clean vessel kept aside for this purpose only, on a table in front of you. This practice can be followed every day for one main meal at least, or more, depending on how much time you have at hand. It is good to do this exercise in a special corner in the house or even a separate small room kept aside for the purpose of meditation or basically a place where the atmosphere is spiritually empowering as compared to the rest of the house. Charging the food with positive spiritual energy and expressing gratitude to the Supreme in this way serves to increase the spiritual quality of the food and deepen the individual's personal relationship with the Supreme, while also creating a powerful, shared divine experience. On a very practical level, it will also help the body to prepare itself to receive and digest food. Of course, the last step is to eat, and this, too, is best done in a peaceful, unhurried and harmonious state of mind and environment: we are what we eat and also how we eat. It’s good to avoid eating along with the television or newspaper. Eating with the family in a positive setting is a good practice. But talking excessively and sharing negative information at that time with each other should be avoided. Talking quite less, talking very slowly, softly and sweetly and talking about positive and constructive aspects of life, with the rest of the family members, should be the norm for meal eating time.

Whether you are a new, aspiring or trained cook, we hope that the information in this and the last two days’ messages, with its emphasis on the soul as well as the body, will bring an added dimension to your kitchen and dining table. Cooking, and eating, should be a joyful and significant experience. So cook and enjoy!

Message for the day

Where everything is done according to the right method there is success.

Projection: When we don't achieve success we sometimes do get tempted to opt for a short cut method, which might bring us temporary success, too. But in the long run we find that it isn't be so beneficial after all.

Solution: Whenever we are involved in a task specially if it is a difficult one we need to make sure that we are following the right method. Whatever is done according to the right system will surely be successful.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli August 15, 2014

Essence of Murli August 15, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, the Father has come to give you true freedom (swatantrata) and to liberate you from the punishment of the demons of death and from your dependency (partantrata) on Ravan.

Question: What is the main difference between the explanation that the Father gives and the explanation you children give?

Answer: When the Father explains, He does so whilst saying, "Sweet children." Through this, the arrow of what the Father says strikes the target. When you children explain to your brothers, you cannot say, "Sweet children". The Father is the Senior and this is why what He says has an effect. He makes you children have realization. Children, are you not ashamed that you have become impure? Now, become pure!

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      You have found the one Father. Therefore, do not worry about anything. Follow His directions, have unlimited sense, and become instruments to uplift everyone with happiness.

2.      In order to be saved from the punishment of the demons of death (jamghata)  and receive true independence, you definitely have to become pure. Knowledge is your source of income. So imbibe it and become wealthy.

Blessing:    May you be (prayogshaali)a soul who experiments with the powers of knowledge and yoga on the basis of light.

Just as physical light is able to demonstrate in a practical way many types of experiments of science, similarly, you can experiment with the powers of yoga and knowledge, with the imperishable light of God, with the light of the soul and also the light of your practical stage. If your stage and your form are double light, then you can easily be successful in your experiments. When each of you becomes engaged in experimenting with yourself, a powerful gathering of souls who experiment will be created.

Baba says, just as scientists experiment with different elements and chemicals in a laboratory by sunlight or electric light, in the same way, you yogi souls, should experiment with the powers of knowledge and yoga with God’s light and see the different results you achieve. You could take a point of knowledge and churn on it or take a weakness and burn it, or experience a blissful state, As each one is an individual, the results will be different. Doing the same type of meditation everyday tends to get boring; see which one is best suited for you. To be more innovative also experiment with the light of your own soul and also the light of your practical stage.

Slogan:      Those who finish every trace and progeny (ansh aur vansh) of obstacles are destroyers of obstacles.(vighn vinaashak)

You cannot be free of any obstacle until your vices, old sanskars, weaknesses, defects, mistakes, old rubbish are cremated; every trace and progeny (ansh aur vansh) has to be finished, or else they get a new life again. Understand the reasons for your shortcomings and weaknesses and resolve them. Finish all complaints with the experimentation of yoga and become complete and you will be a destroyer of obstacles.(vighn vinaashak)

Om shanti.

The unlimited spiritual Father sits here and explains to the unlimited spiritual children. Only the unlimited Father and the unlimited children know this. No one else knows the unlimited Father and they do not consider themselves to be children of the unlimited Father. Only those who are the mouth-born creation of Brahma know this and accept it. No one else would accept this. Brahma is definitely needed and he is also called Adi Dev. The Father enters him. What does the Father come and do? He says: You have to become pure.

The Father's shrimat is: Have the faith that you are souls. He has given you children the introduction of the soul. The soul resides in the centre of the forehead. Baba has explained that a soul is imperishable and that his throne is a perishable body. You know these things and that all of you souls are brothers, children of the one Father. To say that God is omnipresent is a mistake. You explain very well that there is the existence of the five vices in everyone, and some think that what you say is right. We are brothers, and so we will surely receive an inheritance from the Father. However, as soon as you leave here, you get into the storms of Maya; hardly anyone survives. This is the condition everywhere.

Some understand a little of this well and make effort to understand a little more. You can now explain to everyone. If someone doesn't pay a lot of attention, it would be said: He is not an old devotee. Only those who are to understand these things will understand them. If someone doesn't understand, he is unable to explain to others. It is numberwise amongst you too. A good person is sent to explain to a good person, so that perhaps he can understand something because you know that important people don't understand these things that quickly.

Yes, they do give their opinion and say that the way you explained is good, that you give the Father's full introduction, but that they themselves don't have time. You tell them: Remember the unlimited Father so that your sins can be absolved. You now understand that the Father is speaking directly to you souls. When you listen to Him directly, the arrow strikes the target very well.

There (at a centre), you listen through a BK. Here, the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, says directly through Brahma: O children, will you not listen to the Father? None of you can say this to anyone. There, there is not the Father, but He is sitting here. The Father is speaking to you. Children, will you not even listen to the Father? On the path of ignorance too, there is a difference between the explanation given by a father and that given by a brother. What a brother says would not have as much effect as that which a father says, because a father is still senior; so, there is fear of him.

The Father explains to you too: Remember Me, your Father! Are you not ashamed that you repeatedly forget Me? The Father tells you directly, and so that affects you quickly. Will you not listen to the Father? The unlimited Father says: Become viceless in this one birth and you will become viceless for 21 births and masters of the pure world. Do you not believe this? The arrow of what the Father says seems stronger. There is a definitely a difference. It isn't that Baba will always continue to meet new ones. Many ask all sorts of wrong questions. It doesn't sit in their intellect because this is something completely new. In the Gita, they mention Krishna's name, but that cannot be. Now, according to the drama, this sits in your intellects. You children come running to Baba: We want to go to Baba and listen to the murli directly. There (at the centres), we listen to it through the brothers and now we want to listen to it from Baba. When the Father speaks it, it has an impact. He speaks to you whilst saying, "Children, children". Children, are you not ashamed that you do not remember the Father? Do you not love the Father? How much do you remember Him? Baba, one hour. If you constantly remember Me, your sins will be cut away. You have a burden of the sins of many births on your heads.

The Father is explaining to you face to face: You have defamed the Father so much, there should be a case filed against you! When someone libels another through the newspapers, a case is filed against that one. The Father now reminds you of the things that you used to do. The Father explains: According to the drama, all of that happened in the company of Ravan. The path of devotion has now ended; it has become the past. There is no one in the middle to stop you. Day by day, whilst coming down, your intellects have become like a buddhu's and tamopradhan. You say that the One you worship is in the pebbles and stones! That is called unlimited senselessness. That is the unlimited senselessness of the unlimited children. On the one side, they worship Shiv Baba and on the other side, they call that Father omnipresent.

You have now remembered: We behaved so senselessly that we defamed our Father. You children have now understood and so you are now making effort to change from beggars to princes. Shri Krishna was a prince of the golden age, and yet people have said of him that he had 16,108 queens and also children. You would now feel ashamed. When a person commits a sin, he pulls his ears and says in front of God: O God, I made a big mistake. Have mercy! Forgive me! You made such a big mistake.

The Father explains: It is like that in the drama. It is only when you become like that, that I can then come. The Father now says: You have to benefit those of all religions. Those of all religions say of the Father who grants everyone salvation that He is omnipresent. Where did they learn this? God speaks: I am not omnipresent. Because of you, the condition of others has also become like yours. They call out: "O Purifier!" but they do not understand.

When we first came from our home, were we impure? We became impure because of having become body conscious. When someone of any religion comes, ask him: Do you have the introduction of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul? Who is He? Where does He reside? He would either say that He is up above or that He is omnipresent. The Father says: The whole world has now become totally bankrupt because of you. You became the instruments for that. This has to be explained to everyone. Although it happens according to the drama, you still became impure. All are sinful souls. You now call out in order to become pure souls. Those of all religions have to return to their home, the land of liberation. They are pure there. It is also predestined in the drama for the Father to come and explain to you.

This knowledge is for those of all religions. Baba received some news. An acharya (teacher) said: I consider God to be in all of you and bow down to you. Are there that many Gods? They don't understand anything. Those who have not performed a lot of devotion do not survive here. Some stay at a centre for some time, and others for another period of time. You should understand from this that they have performed less devotion, as that is why they don't stay longer. Nevertheless, where would they go? There is no other shop.

What method should be created so that people can understand quickly? The message has to be given to everyone. You have to tell them: Remember the Father. If you cannot remember the Father fully yourself, how would the arrows you shoot strike the target? This is why Baba says: Keep your chart. The main thing is to become pure. The purer you become, the more knowledge you will imbibe and you will also have happiness. You children should have a lot of happiness to uplift everyone. The Father alone comes and grants salvation. There is no question of happiness or sorrow for the Father. This drama is predestined. You should not have any sorrow. You have found the Father, what more do you want? You simply have to follow the Father's directions.

Only at this time do you receive this explanation. You will not receive it in the golden age. There, there is no question of knowledge. You have found the unlimited Father here and so you should have even greater happiness than that of heaven. The Father says: You also have to go abroad and explain this. You have mercy for those of all religions. Everyone says: O God, have mercy! Bless us! Liberate us from sorrow! However, they don't understand anything.

The Father tells you many types of clever ways. You should tell everyone: You are lying in the jail of Ravan. They say that they should have freedom, but no one knows what freedom is. They are all trapped in the jail of Ravan. The Father has now come to give you true freedom. Even then, people are trapped in the jail of Ravan and continue to commit sin.

What is true freedom? You have to tell people this. You can even print in the newspapers: There is no freedom here in the kingdom of Ravan. You should write it in short. No one will be able to understand if you give long explanations. Tell them: You don't have freedom, because you are lying in the jail of Ravan. When your sound spreads abroad, people here will understand quickly. They are all continuously under siege. So, is that freedom? The Father is giving you freedom. He is freeing you from the jail of Ravan.

You know that you are very wealthy and have great freedom there. No one's vision (nazar) can fall on you. When you became weak at the end, everyone's vision fell on your wealth. Mahmud Guznavi came and looted your temple and your freedom was lost because you had become dependent in the kingdom of Ravan.

You are now at the most auspicious confluence age. You are now receiving true freedom. Those people don't understand freedom and so you have to explain this to them tactfully. Only those who attained freedom in the previous cycle will believe you. When you explain to them, they argue so much, as though they are buddhus. They waste your time, and so you don't want to speak to them. The Father comes and gives you freedom. There is a lot of sorrow by depending on Ravan; there is limitless sorrow.

In the Father's kingdom, we are so free. Freedom is when we become pure deities, when we become liberated from the kingdom of Ravan. The Father alone comes and gives you true freedom. Now, all are unhappy in the foreign kingdom. This is the most auspicious confluence age when you receive freedom. Those people say that we became independent when the foreign government left. You now know that you cannot be free until you become pure. Then, there will have to be punishment by the demons of death and your status will also be destroyed. The Father comes to take you back home. There, all are free.

You can explain to those of all religions: You are a soul and have come from the land of liberation to play your part. You have come from the land of happiness to the land of sorrow, the tamopradhan world. The Father says: You are My child. You are not Ravan's child. I went away having given you your fortune of the kingdom. You were so free in your own kingdom. You now have to become pure once again in order to go back there. You become so wealthy. There, there is no need to worry about money. Even though they may be poor, they do not need to worry about money. They remain happy. It is here that there is worry. However, status is numberwise in the kingdom. Not everyone will become like the sun-dynasty kings. However much effort you make, you claim a status accordingly.

You are those who serve those of all religions. You also have to explain to people abroad: All of you are brothers. Everyone resides in the land of peace. You are now in the kingdom of Ravan. We are now going to show you the way home. Consider yourself to be a soul and remember Me.

 People say: God liberates everyone. However, they don't understand how He liberates everyone. When children become confused, they say: Baba, liberate us and take us back home. It is just as when you were confused and lost in the fog and couldn't find the path. Then you found the Liberator who showed you the path. You tell the unlimited Father: Baba, liberate us! Come and we will follow You! No one, except the Father, can show you the path. We used to study so many scriptures and stumble along on pilgrimages. However, if we didn't know God, how could we find Him? If He were omnipresent, how could we find Him? People are in such darkness of ignorance! Only the one Father is the Bestower of Salvation for All. He alone comes and removes you children from the darkness of ignorance. Achcha.

To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.
