Essence of Murli August 23, 2014

Essence of Murli August 23, 2014: 

Essence:   Sweet children, do the service of purifying the elements with yoga because it is only when the elements have become pure that the deities will set foot in this world.

Question: There cannot be any type of peacelessness in your new kingdom. Why?

Answer:     1. Because you will have received that kingdom as your inheritance from the Father. 2. The Father, the Bestower of Blessings, (Vardata) gives blessings (vardaan)  and the inheritance (varsa) now and, for this reason, there cannot be peacelessness there. When you belong to the Father, you claim your whole inheritance. 

Essence for dharna:

1.      With cleanliness in your heart, inculcate the Father's wonderful knowledge into your life. Create an elevated reward by making effort. Don't just say "Drama!" and stop making effort.

2.      In order to be saved from being deceived by criminal eyes in the kingdom of Ravan, practice looking through your third eye of knowledge. Imbibe purity, which is the number one character.

Blessing: May you be an embodiment of solutions (samaadhaan swaroop) and finish (samaapt) all waste thoughts (sankalp) by knowing their cause.

There are two main reasons for waste thoughts. 1) Arrogance. (abhimaan) 2) feeling insulted (apmaan) : Why did I get less? I should also have this status. I too should be put in the front. There is either the feeling of being insulted or arrogance in this. In name, respect, honour, (naam, maan,  shaan) in being put in the front, in service — to feel any type of arrogance or insult is the reason for waste thoughts. To know the reason (kaaran) for this and to find a solution (nivaaran) to it is to become an embodiment of solutions. (samaadhaan swaroop)

Baba says, consider yourself to be an instrument-you are a karanhar and the Father is Karavanhaar- He is getting His tasks performed through you. This brings about humility as the consciousness of “I” is removed. Then, there is neither arrogance (abhimaan) nor the feeling of being insulted (apmaan). There is then no need of name, respect, honour, (naam, maan,  shaan) or being in the forefront in service, because, being a karanhaar, you are merely an instrument used by the Father. By remaining in solitude and through concentration you attain the powers to discern and decide and find easy solutions to all problems while interacting with others and in doing anything in the name of God. This consciousness would eradicate a lot of reasons and finish waste thoughts and make you an embodiment of solutions. (samaadhaan swaroop)

 

Slogan:      It is very easy (sahaj) to go on the pilgrimage to the sweet home with the power of silence.

From today’s slogan we can churn on:

With the power of silence, we have light, might and divine insight... we experience ourselves to be an image of true tapasya sitting in the cottage of the forehead, experiencing the alokik sweetness of introversion...we chase Maya away from a distance with the method of silence... by sitting in silence and by withdrawing like a tortoise and spinning the discus of self-realization, we go on the pilgrimage to the sweet home easily and  become ever-healthy and ever-wealthy... by remembering the Father and the cycle in silence, by removing our hearts from this hell, we become deities free from disease for 21 births...

 

Om shanti.

You children know whose children you are. He is called the true Lord and Master. (Sachcha Saheb) This is why, nowadays, you children are also called the children of the Lord and Master. (sahebzaade) There is a saying (poudhi)  about truth: Eat that which is real and wear that which is real. (sach khaana, sach pahanna) Although this saying has been created by human beings, the Father sits here and explains the meaning of it.

You children know that the Father is the Highest on High, the One who is praised a great deal and who is also called the Creator. His first creation is you children. You are the children of that Father. All souls reside with the Father. That is called the Father's home, the sweet home. This is not the home. You children know that He is our sweetest Father. The land of peace is our sweet home and then the golden age is also called our sweet home because there is peace in every home there. Here, there is peacelessness in the home of physical mothers and fathers and peacelessness in the world. There, there is peace in the home as well as throughout the world.

 The golden age is called a small new world. This old world is so huge. There is peace and happiness in the golden age. There is no question of chaos there because you will have received your inheritance of peace from the unlimited Father. Gurus give blessings: May you have sons! (Putrvaan bhav!) May you have a long life! (Aayushvaan bhav!) Those blessings that they give are not new. You automatically receive those as your inheritance from the Father.

The Father has now reminded you children of this. That parlokik Father is the One whom people of all religions remember on the path of devotion when it is the world of sorrow. This world is old and impure. In the new world, there is happiness; there is no trace of peacelessness. You children now have to become pure and virtuous. Otherwise, you will have to experience a great deal of punishment. Dharamraj, the One who enables you to settle all karmic accounts, is also with the Father. There will be the Tribunal. There will definitely be punishment for sins. Those who make good effort will not experience punishment. You receive punishment for your sins and that is also called the suffering of karma.

This is the foreign kingdom of Ravan and there is limitless sorrow within it. There is limitless happiness in the kingdom of Rama. You explain to many, but some are able to understand instantly whereas others take time to understand. If they understand less, you can understand that they started performing devotion later. Those who have done devotion from the beginning will understand knowledge quickly because they have to take a number ahead.

You souls know that you come here from your sweet home. There is silence, "movie" and "talkie". After children go into trance, they relate that everything there is "movie". Trance has no connection with the path of knowledge. The main thing is to consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father, that's all; nothing else. The Father is incorporeal and His children, that is, souls in these bodies, are also incorporeal. No other question arises. The love of souls is for the one Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul.

Everyone's body is impure, and so you cannot have love for impure bodies. Souls may become pure, but their bodies are impure. Bodies do not become pure in this impure world. Souls have to become pure here; only then will these old bodies be destroyed. Souls are imperishable. The duty of souls is to remember the unlimited Father and become pure. When souls are pure, they need pure bodies and those will be received in the new world. Let souls become pure! Souls have to have yoga with the one Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, that's all. This impure body must not even be touched. The Father is speaking to you souls. These matters have to be understood.

From the golden age to the iron age, you have been hanging on to your bodies. Both soul and body are pure there. You do not indulge in vice there through which neither the soul nor your body would become vicious. There are the Vallabhacharis (a sect) who do not allow their bodies to be touched. You know that their souls are not viceless nor are they pure. The Vallabhachari sect considers themselves to belong to a high clan; they do not allow their bodies to be touched. They do not understand that they are vicious and impure and that their bodies have been created through corruption. The Father comes and explains these aspects.

As souls become pure, they have to change their bodies. Your body can only become pure when the five elements become pure. In the golden age, the five elements are pure, and so the bodies are also pure. Deities cannot set foot in this impure world or have impure bodies. Both souls and their bodies are pure. This is why they only set foot in the golden age. This is an impure world.

Souls remember the parlokik Father, the Supreme Soul. One is your physical father and the other is your bodiless Father. The bodiless Father is remembered because you definitely receive such an inheritance of happiness from Him. This is why you cannot stay without remembering Him. Although you have now become tamopradhan, you still definitely remember that Father. However, people receive wrong teachings that say God is omnipresent. They then become confused about human beings only becoming human beings. The Father comes and explains all of those mistakes.

The Father only gives the one mantra of Manmanabhav! The meaning of this is: Consider yourself to be a soul and remember the Father. Only have this concern, that's all. It is through this that you will be able to become pure. Deities are pure. The Father now comes and makes you pure again like them. He keeps your aim and objective in front of you.

A sculptor is straight away able to create a sculpture of a human being by looking at his face. Those are non-living statues, but it is as though that person is sitting in front of them in the living form. Here, the Father says to you: You have to become living Lakshmi and Narayans. How will you become those? You will become deities from human beings through this study and through purity. This is the school to change from humans into deities. Those sculptors create many sculptures; that is called art. They create an identical face.

Here, there is no question of an identical face. Those are non-living images whereas you will become this naturally in the living form there. The bodies of the five elements will be alive. Those non-living images have been created by human beings. They cannot be identical to the deities because a photograph cannot be taken of deities. Although they have a vision of them in trance, they cannot take their photograph. They would say that they had a vision of them but they themselves are not able to create that image; nor can anyone else. You yourselves can only become like that when you finish taking knowledge from the Father. Only then will you become identical to what you were in the previous cycle.

This is such a wonderful, natural drama! The Father sits here and explains to you the wonderful things of nature. Human beings don't even think about these matters. They go in front of the deity idols and bow their heads.

Although they understand that they used to rule that kingdom, they do not know when. They don't know anything about when they will come again or what they will do when they come. You know that those who belonged to the sun and moon dynasties have been and gone. They will become exactly the same again by studying this knowledge. This is a wonder.

 Therefore, the Father now explains: By making such effort you will become the same deities again. You will carry on with the activity that you did previously in the golden and silver ages. This is such wonderful knowledge! This knowledge can only remain in your intellects when there is cleanliness in your hearts. These aspects cannot remain in anyone else's intellect; you need effort for this. You cannot receive fruit without making effort. The Father continues to inspire you to make effort.

Even though everything happens according to the drama, you still have to make effort. You must not just sit down and think: If it is in the drama I will be able to make effort. There are many who have such crazy thoughts as: There will surely be effort if it is in my fortune. Ah, but it is you who have to make effort! There is the effort and then the reward.

Human beings ask: Which is greater, the effort or the reward? Reward is greater but effort is said to be greater because it is through that that your reward is created. It is only by making effort that every human being receives everything. There are some who have such stone intellects that they give this a wrong meaning. It is understood that this is not in their fortune; they fall apart. Here, you children are inspired to make so much effort.

You are given explanations day and night. You definitely have to reform your character. The number one character is to be pure. Deities are pure anyway. It is when they fall that their character is spoilt and they become completely impure. You now understand that your character was A one. Then you fell completely. Everything depends on purity. It is in this that there is great difficulty. People's eyes deceive them a great deal because this is the kingdom of Ravan. There, your eyes do not deceive you. You receive the third eye of knowledge. This is why it is said: Religion is might.

 The Almighty Authority Father comes and establishes this deity religion. It is souls that do everything, but they do it through human forms. That Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. (Gyan ka Sagar) His praise is totally separate from the praise of the deities. So, why would you not remember such a Father? He is called the knowledge-full One, the Seed. Why is He called the Truth, the Living Being and the Embodiment of Bliss? (Sat,Chit,Anand)

 The seed of the tree is aware of the tree emerging it. However, that seed is non-living. It is as though the soul in that is non-living, whereas the soul of a human being is conscious. A living soul can also be called an ocean of knowledge. The tree grows from small to large, so there definitely is a soul, but it is unable to speak.

There is so much praise of the Supreme Soul; He is the Ocean of Knowledge. This praise does not belong to souls. This praise is only sung of the Supreme Soul. He is called Ishwar etc. His true name is the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. Param means Supreme. The praise people sing of Him is very powerful. Now, day by day, His praise is decreasing because their intellects were sato at first, then they became rajo and they have now become tamopradhan.

The Father comes and explains all of these things. I come every 5000 years to make the old world new. It is remembered that the golden age is the truth, and whatever happens there is the truth (satyug adi hai bhi sat, hosi bhi sat) (written in the Granth Sahib — the holy book of the Sikhs). Some good versions are written because they are not so impure. Those who come later are not so impure. The people of Bharat were completely satopradhan and they are the ones who have become the most tamopradhan at the end of their many births. This cannot be said about the founders of religions. Neither do they become as satopradhan, nor do they become as tamopradhan. They neither experience as much happiness nor as much sorrow.

Whose intellects have become the most tamopradhan? Out of all the religions, it is those who were at first deities who have fallen the most. People sing praise of Bharat because it is very ancient. If you think about it, at this time, Bharat has fallen a great deal. The rise and fall of Bharat is the rise and fall of the deities. You have to use your intellect to understand this. We experienced a great deal of happiness when we were satopradhan. Then we also experience so much sorrow because we are tamopradhan.

 There are four main religions: Deityism, Islam, Buddhism and Christianity. Expansion has taken place through them. The people of Bharat do not know which religion they belong to. Because of not knowing their religion, they leave their religion. In fact, their religion is the main one but they have forgotten it. Those who are wise and sensible understand that those people have no honesty in their religion. Otherwise, what was Bharat before and what has it become now?

The Father sits here and explains: Children, what were you? He sits here and explains the whole history. You were deities. You ruled for half a cycle and then, after half a cycle, your actions and your religion became corrupt (dharm bhrasht, karm bhrasht) in the kingdom of Ravan. You are now once again becoming those who will belong to the deity community. God speaks: Only to you children does the Father explain every cycle and enable you to belong to God's community. 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 23, 2014: The Best

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 23, 2014: The Best

The Best

The best ornament is Humility;

the best wealth is Wisdom;

the best weapon is Patience;

the best security is Faith;

the best tonic is Laughter.

Flexibility

Human beings have evolved to survive on a planet of varied environments
and in ever-changing societies. This has created a flexibility which
gives us the power to accept situations and adapt to them. Once we
understand this there is no need to be afraid of challenges in life.
Some people say: 'It is easy for you, we have difficulties'.
Sometimes people try to make problems, as if they are testing you. But
I should not allow anybody to express their sorrow through me. If you
understand that you don't have to be affected by difficulties it
doesn't matter what situation may come.

Overcoming The Fear Of Communication

When the fear of communicating effectively exists inside you e.g. when appearing for a work interview, it may be due to personal insecurity. You have to work on it in order to have more security, confidence and authoritativeness. Being secure and full of authority in the moment of communicating and expressing yourself requires practice and effort. Most importantly, to feel secure in such situations, when the person whom you are faced with is in a position of power, you have to value yourself. Self-value brings self-security and a feeling of fearlessness. When someone is normally asked to talk about what his/her personality is like or what is his/her basic character traits are, they normally speak about their weaknesses. Very rarely does one speak of his/her strengths or positive personality traits.Realizing your strengths requires introspection. Meditation, based on the complete spiritual knowledge about the self, is one of the simplest methods to do this. Once you realize your own strengths, you are able to value yourself immensely. If you value yourself, it does not matter so much to you whether another values you or not. However, if you aren't able to value yourself, then doubts exist: * Let's see if this person values or respects me; * perhaps this job is not for me; * perhaps my communication skills are not very good. Then you need recognition and appreciation. Since you cannot give it to yourself (because you have not realized your strengths), you depend on others giving it to you.

You need to know that you are unique and that you are worth a great deal. If the other person does not value you it is their loss; they are losing something precious. If you are established in that self esteem of 'Who am I', a very elevated consciousness and that awareness - 'here comes a treasure whom you will be interviewing', your words and your body language will be sharp, secure and stable. Within you, you value yourself; and if you value yourself, it will be easier for people to value you. On the other hand, if you do not like and respect yourself, you will cause the same energy, which you radiate, to come back to you from others.

 

Soul Sustenance

 

The Interplay Between Souls, Matter And The Supreme Soul (God)

The forces, which interact to produce the phenomena of world history and geography: souls, matter and the Supreme Soul (God), are threaded by the law of karma. When there is mental communion (connection) with the Supreme, the soul's relationship with matter changes. This means that the internal love-link that the soul has with the Supreme is reflected in the performance of the soul in the material world and in the degree to which the soul has mastery over matter; firstly over the sense organs of the body and through that, over the colors, shapes and sounds of the material world.

We have continually sought to understand which way to act, but have lost our sense of direction for various reasons:

• We forgot that we were soul-actors.
• We became lost on the world stage.
• We became over-identified with our costumes the physical body.
• We lost sight of the story of the drama.
• We forgot that we were residents of the soul world.
• Due to body-consciousness the soul severed (broke) its subtle connection with the Supreme Soul.

Message for the day

The power of positive thoughts enables others to be free from their worries.

Projection: When someone is going through difficult times there would be naturally worry and tension. At such times it becomes very natural for us too to come into tension. However, we don't seem to be able to help the other person in anyway when we have such thoughts. Instead we only add to the negative thoughts of that person.

Solution: When we find someone who is having negative thoughts in a difficult situation, we need to remind ourselves that we are the only ones who can help them come back to his positivity. It is possible for us to do this only when our own thoughts are positive. When we train our mind in this way we will be able to maintain our own positivity which will enable the other person also to be rid of his worries.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli August 22, 2014

Essence of Murli August 22, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, you now have to return home and you must therefore make effort to remember the Father and to reform your character.

Question: What is it that puts you to sleep on the path of ignorance? What damage has been caused by that?

Answer:     Saying that the duration of a cycle is hundreds of thousands of years is something that puts everyone to sleep in the sleep of ignorance (agyan ki neend) and it is through this that they have lost the eye of knowledge. (become netrheen) They consider the home to be very far away: they have it in their intellects that they have to play their parts of happiness and sorrow here for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore they do not make effort to become pure. You children know that the home is now very close. We now have to make effort and become karmateet.

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      In order to claim the status of Narayan from an ordinary man, learn the unlimited lesson from the unlimited Father and also teach others. Do the service of making others similar to yourself.

2.      Make effort to remove the strings of attachment and greed. Reform your character in such a way that no evil spirits enter you.

 

Blessing: May you be completely pure (sampoorn pavitr) by making your thoughts pure, knowledge-full and powerful. (shuddh, gyan swaroop, shakti swaroop)

In order to become equal to the Father, make the foundation of purity firm. To observe the vow of celibacy as the foundation is a common matter, and so do not be happy with just that. Underline the purity of vision and attitude (drishti, vritti) even more. As well as this, make your thoughts pure, knowledge-full and powerful. There is still a lot of weakness in thoughts. Finish this weakness and you will then be said to be a completely pure soul.

Baba says, Purity is reality...purity is royalty... purity is the foundation, the original religion and the most elevated decoration of Brahmin life... Brahmcharya (celibacy) is easy... become Brahmaachaarya (followers of Brahma) by having powerful thoughts, knowledgeable words and pure vision and attitude... By making the dharma of purity our personal dharna in life, we become great pure souls...

 

Slogan:      Let there be mercy and good wishes for everyone in your vision and there will then be no trace of arrogance or insult. (abhimaan aur apmaan ka ansh)

We, the souls, ignorant of the knowledge of desire, the knowledgeable souls who are wise, with no desire for any name, fame or honor, are master bestowers... by attaining the high destination of a yogi life, by having good wishes and pure feelings for all, with mercy in our hearts, we transform defamation into admiration, insult into praise, rejection into regard, humiliation into self-respect, harm into upliftment...

Om shanti. The Father has now reminded you sweetest children of your home. Although people on the path of devotion also remember the home, they don't know anything about how or when to go there. By saying that the duration of the cycle is hundreds of thousands of years, they have forgotten their home. They believe that they will still play their parts here for hundreds of thousands of years and so they have forgotten the home.

The Father now reminds you: Children, your home is very close. You are now to go to your home. I have come because you children called out to Me. Will you come with Me? This is something so easy! On the path of devotion, they don't know when they will go to the land of liberation. Liberation is called the home. Because of saying it is hundreds of thousands of years, they have forgotten everything. They have forgotten the Father and also the home. A lot of difference is caused by saying it is hundreds of thousands of years.

It is as though they have fallen asleep in the sleep of ignorance. No one understands anything. On the path of devotion, they show the home to be very far away. The Father says: Wonderful! You now have to go to the land of liberation. It isn't that you perform devotion for hundreds of thousands of years. You don't even know when devotion began. There is no need to make a calculation of hundreds of thousands of years. People forget the Father and the home. This is also fixed in the drama but they have needlessly made it so distant!

The Father now says: Children, your home is very close. I have now come to take you back. You have to go back home. However, you definitely do have to become pure. You have been bathing in the Ganges, but none of you became pure. If you had become pure, you would have gone home. However, you don't know about the home and you don't know about purity. People have been performing devotion for half the cycle and so they can't stop it.

The Father now says: Devotion is coming to an end. There continues to be limitless sorrow in devotion. It isn't that you children have seen sorrow for hundreds of thousands of years. There is no question of hundreds of thousands of years. You experienced real sorrow in the iron age when you became dirtied by many vices. Previously, when you were in the rajo stage, you had some understanding, but you have now become completely senseless!

You children are now told: If you want to go to the land of happiness, become pure! Remove the burden of sins of many births that are on you heads with remembrance. You will become very happy through remembrance. Remember the Father who takes you to the land of happiness for half the cycle.

The Father says: You have to become like Lakshmi and Narayan. Therefore, become pure and reform your character. Vices are called evil spirits. The evil spirit of greed is no less. That evil spirit is very impure; it makes people completely dirty. Even greed makes you commit a lot of sin. The five vices are very strong evil spirits. You have to renounce all of them. It is just as difficult to renounce greed as it is to renounce lust. Even to renounce attachment becomes just as difficult as it is to renounce lust; they just can't renounce it. The Father has been explaining all your lives, but, even then, the strings of attachment remain connected. Even anger is renounced with great difficulty. People say: I feel angry with the children. They mention the word "anger". No evil spirit should come. You have to become victorious over them.

The Father says: Continue to make effort for as long as I am here. How many years will the Father remain here? The Father has been sitting here and explaining for so many years. He has given a good amount of time. It is very easy to know the world cycle. All the knowledge enters your intellects in seven days, but it takes time for the sins of many births to be cut away. This is the difficulty. Baba gives you time for this.

There is a lot of opposition from Maya for she makes you completely forget. Whilst sitting here, you are not sitting in remembrance all the time. Your intellects wander in many directions. This is why you have to give time to making effort and reach your karmateet stage. The study is very easy. A sensible child would understand in seven days all the knowledge of how this cycle of 84 turns. However, effort is required to become pure. There is so much upheaval because of this. People understand that this is right and that they used to cause defamation saying that the Brahma Kumaris made everyone into brothers and sisters. However, this is absolutely right. How can we remain pure unless we become the children of Prajapita Brahma? How can we change into those with civil eyes from being those with criminal eyes? This is a very good method: We are Brahma Kumars and Kumaris and so we are brothers and sisters. You receive a lot of help through this in making your eyes civil.

There is also the task of Brahma. The deity religion is established through Brahma, that is, human beings are changed into deities. The Father comes at the most auspicious confluence age. So you have to make so much effort in order to explain this. Centres are opened to give the Father's introduction. You have to claim the unlimited inheritance from the unlimited Father. God is incorporeal whereas Krishna is a bodily being; he cannot be called God. People say that God will come and give the fruit of devotion, but they don't have the introduction of God. You explain so much and yet people don't understand.

Bodily beings definitely take rebirth. The inheritance cannot be received from them. Souls receive this inheritance from the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. Human beings cannot grant liberation-in-life to human beings. You children are making effort to claim this inheritance. You had been wandering around so much in order to meet that Father. Previously, you used to worship Shiva alone and you didn't go to anyone else at all; that was unadulterated devotion. There weren't as many temples etc. to anyone else. Now, there are so many images and people build so many temples etc. You have to make so much effort on the path of devotion.

You know that there is no path to liberation or salvation in the scriptures. Only the one Father shows you that. They continue to build so many temples on the path of devotion. In fact, temples are only built to those deities who resided in the golden age. There aren't temples built to other human beings because they are impure. Impure human beings worship pure deities. Although they too are human beings, they have divine virtues. Those who don't have divine virtues worship them. You yourselves were worthy of worship and you then became worshippers. To worship human beings means to worship the five elements. The body is made of the five elements.

You children now have to go to the land of liberation. You performed so much devotion for that. I now take you back with Me and you will then go to the golden age. The Father has come to take you from the impure world to the pure world. There are two pure lands: liberation and liberation-in-life. (mukti, jeewan mukti)

The Father says: Sweetest children, I come at the confluence age of every cycle. You take on so much sorrow on the path of devotion. There is also the song: We went around in all four directions, and yet remained distant from You! (chaaron taraf lagaaye phere fir bhi hardam door rahe...)From whom did we remain distant? From the Father. In order to find the Father, you went around birth after birth. Nevertheless, you remained distant from the Father. This is why people call out: 0 Purifier, come! Come and make us pure! No one except the Father can make you this.

So, this is a drama of 5000 years. You are all making effort, according to the drama, exactly as you did in the previous cycle. The kingdom is being established according to that. Not everyone will study to the same extent. This is a school. This is the study of Raja Yoga. Those who belong to the deity religion will emerge. The population of the incorporeal world will also be accurate; it won't be any more or any less. There is an exact number of actors in a play, but people cannot understand this. However many there are, that number is accurate and they will come and play their parts. You will go to the new world and all the rest will go there (home). If any of you want to count them now, you can do so.

The Father is now telling you very deep points. There is so much difference between the explanation given at the beginning and the explanation given now. Study takes time. No one can become an ICS (Indian Civil Service officer)  straight away. Study takes place numberwise. The Father makes everything so easy and explains to you so that it can easily sit in people's intellects. Day by day, He continues to explain new points.

The Father now says: You called out to Me, the Purifier Father, to come. I have come. Therefore, become pure! Consider yourselves to be souls and constantly remember Me alone and you will become satopradhan. You will then have to come down here to play your parts. The Father says: Souls have become impure and this is why in order to become pure, you remember the Purifier Father. It is such a wonder that such a tiny soul plays such a big part! This is called a wonder. It cannot be seen. Some say that they want to have a vision of the Supreme Soul. The Father says: What vision would you have of such a tiny soul? I am someone you have to know, but it is difficult to see Me. The soul has received all of these physical organs in order to play a part. How great a part the soul plays is a wonder! A soul never wears out.

This is the imperishable drama and it is predestined. You cannot ask when it was created; it is called eternal. Ask people: when did you start burning Ravan? When did you start studying the scriptures? Because they don't know, they would say: Since eternity! They are confused. The Father sits here and explains in the same way that children are taught. You know that you were completely senseless and that you now have unlimited understanding. That is a limited study whereas this is unlimited. It is day for half the cycle and night for half the cycle. You cannot experience the slightest (rinchak) sorrow for 21 births. It is_said: May not even a hair of yours bend! (shal tumhara baal bhi baanka n ho) No one can cause you sorrow. The very name is the land of happiness. There is no happiness here. The main thing is purity. A very good character is required.

 Everything is explained to you children very clearly. There is damage and loss. The Father now says: There is no question of benefit at this time. Now there will be loss and further loss. The time for destruction is coming, and so just see what happens at that time! When there isn't any rain, grain becomes so expensive. No matter how much they say that there will be a lot of grain after three years, they still have to import grain from abroad. The time will come when you won't be able to get a single grain.

So many calamities are to come. They call those, "Godly calamities." When there isn't any rain, there will definitely be famine. All the elements etc. are going to get worse. In many places, rain causes so much damage. You children know that the Father is establishing the eternal deity religion. This is your aim and objective. You are being made into Narayan from an ordinary man once again.

Only the unlimited Father teaches you this unlimited lesson. However much someone studies, he claims a status accordingly. The Father inspires you to make effort. If you make less effort, a low status will be received. A teacher would explain to students. When you make others similar to yourselves, it can be known that you study well and also teach others.

The main thing is the pilgrimage of remembrance. There are huge burdens of sin on your heads. Remember Me and your sins will be burnt away. This is a spiritual pilgrimage. Also teach small children to remember Shiv Baba; they too have a right. They wouldn't understand that they have to consider themselves to be souls and remember the Father; no, they will only remember Shiv Baba. By making effort, they too can be benefitted. 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 22, 2014: Getting on with it

 

Getting on with it

Worrying about how everything will get done or whether I am capable of doing it limits my ability to respond to challenges. The less I think about doing something and the more I just get on with it the better. Good planning is always helpful, but time spent fretting and procrastinating drains my energy.

Understanding

It is vital for us all to make space for inner peace, and that a key
step to this is valuing our TIME. Others can only benefit from our
time if we learn the value of it ourselves. In our quick-fix society
it is all too easy to reach for a glass of wine or some other substance
to make us feel chilled out, but changing the way we think is the only
true solution to finding peace. Sometimes the mind can become
unbalanced and you can develop bad habits such as taking drugs. But if
you have understanding you can always bring about change.

The Evolution Of Anger

We become a little irritated when we are stuck in a traffic jam and we getting late to reach somewhere on time, or we are not going to complete a particular task, as per our expectations or if someone whom we very well know decides to ignore us today, for some reason or the other. If this seed of irritation is watered, or in other words it is given the concentrated energy of our attention i.e. we continue with the irritation for some time, it slowly grows or evolves into frustration. Unless we take some constructive inner action to stop the growth of the frustration and we keep energizing it, it will grow or evolve into anger. And if this happens regularly and we are not careful, it will become a habit, a part of our personality, which we will finally come to believe is a natural part of your nature. We will even think we were born with it. That it is 'in our genes'. Every time we become angry we cause the production of certain chemicals in our body and we also become addicted to those chemicals - then we look for people and situations which will give us an excuse to get angry so that we can have our daily dose of chemicals. We not only become attached to material objects, people, ways of thinking, beliefs etc. - we also become attached to our emotions like the emotion of anger. The regular secretion of these chemicals will finally kill our body. We don't need to kill our body. We need to accept that anger is never ever productive, know that it is just not necessary to be angry with anyone or about anything, know that it is entirely our own creation and know that we can choose a different response. If we know and accept that, we will experience freedom from it.

Understanding the Inner Mechanism of Anger

If we think, speak and act in an angry way, we leave an impression or memory of anger within our own consciousness which results in sanskara of anger to be born. Within the sanskara is the recorded emotion and experience of our expression towards the object of our anger. The object is a particular person or situation. If we encounter the object of our anger the next day, it will trigger the emergence the recorded anger from within the sanskara. We then deepen the sanskara as we express more anger, even if we only 'think' anger. The emergence of this emotional energy from within our consciousness then stops us from interacting in a positive way. It clouds our mind and confuses our intellect, weakening and distorting our thoughts, decisions and behaviour. This often explains why we find it harder to connect and communicate with certain people in our life. Essentially we are carrying a negative image of the other person within our sanskara from a previous interaction with them. And when we see them again it emerges the energy within the sanskara, which then influences our ability to respond to them.

Message for the day

True detachment is to be a master of all things that we use.

Projection: Detachment is usually mistaken as being away from things because usually while using the facilities available we tend to get dependent on them. Such dependency is troublesome and so we sometimes give up using these facilities thinking that this is detachment which helps us to be free from their control.

Solution: The solution lies in mentally detaching ourselves from the facilities we are using. That means we use them but we are not dependent on them. For this we need to remind ourselves that we are the creator and whatever facilities are available to us are the creation. This enables us to develop mastery and control over everything.
