Actions are the mirror that reflects the soul.
Today, the Almighty Authority Father is pleased to
see His Shakti Army. To what extent has each of you master almighty souls
imbibed all powers within yourself? You know all the main powers very well and
you have created your own picture based on them. This picture is a sign of the
living form. It is the indication of your nobility, that is, your greatness.
When each action is elevated and great, it proves that you have used your
powers in action, in practice. Whether souls are weak or powerful, whether they
are full of all powers or complete embodiments of power, this is known through
their actions, because they have to come into connection with people and have
to interact in situations. This is why there are the terms, “karma shetra”
(field of action), “karma sambandh” (relationships through actions) “karma
indriya” (organs with which actions are performed - physical senses), “karma
bhog” (suffering of karma) and “karma yoga” (yoga whilst in action). Therefore,
the speciality of this physical world is “karma” (action). Just as the
speciality of the incorporeal world is to be beyond action, that is, to be
detached from action, so, the corporeal world means action. If actions are
elevated, then the reward too is elevated. When actions are corrupt, sorrow is the
reward. However, the basis of both is action. Your actions are the mirror that
gives a vision of the soul. Through the mirror of action you can recognise your
form of power. If no power is revealed through action, then, no matter how much
someone says that he is a master almighty authority, if that hasn’t been
revealed through his actions while on the field of action, would anyone then
believe him? For instance, although someone may claim to be a very good soldier
or very good at fighting, if he is not able to fight with an enemy on the
battlefield and is defeated, would anyone believe that he is a good soldier? In
the same way, someone may intellectually consider himself to be an embodiment
of power, but if he is unable to use that particular power in a difficult
situation, or when coming into connection with others, at the time when he
needs a particular power, would anyone believe that he is an embodiment of
power? Simply for your intellect to understand this is just like you sitting at
home and considering yourself to be very clever. However, if you don’t show
that form at that time, if you are unable to use the power you need at that
time, if you remember it after the time has passed, would you then be called an
embodiment of power? This greatness is needed in action. Use the power in
action according to the time. So, check your activity throughout the whole day
to see to what extent you have become a master almighty authority. Which
special power makes you victorious at the right time and in which power are you
weak and thus repeatedly defeated? Some children know in which powers they are
weak, and they even speak of them, but only in an ordinary way, when there is a
virtue-filled gathering or in an atmosphere of similar effort-makers. The
majority try to hide their weakness from others. Some speak of their weakness
at that time, but they don’t have that much recognition of the seed of that
weakness; they speak about it superficially. They speak at length of the
external form, but they do not reach the seed. Therefore, what is the result?
They prune the branches of that weakness and they thereby feel for a short time
as though that weakness has finished. However, because the seed is still there,
because it receives the water of various situations, the branches of that same
weakness start to grow again. Nowadays, illnesses in the world are not
permanently cured, because doctors don’t know the seed of the illness. This is
why the illness is suppressed but isn’t completely cured. Similarly, here, too,
finish the seed by knowing the seed. Some of you even know the seed, but,
because of carelessness, you say, “Yes, it will happen at some time.” “It won’t
be finished in just one go, it definitely takes time!” They try to be very
clever in this way. At the time when they have to be powerful, they become
knowledge-full. Knowledge is certainly a power, but they don’t use that
knowledge as a form of power. They just use it in the form of a point. Each
point of knowledge is a weapon. But they don’t use it in the form of a weapon.
Therefore, understand the seed and don’t allow anything to be lacking due to
carelessness that would stop you becoming complete and perfect. If, after
understanding the seed, you experience yourself to have the power to know the
seed but not the power to burn that seed, you can then take help from the many
elevated souls who are embodiments of intense yoga (jwala swarup). Because
souls are weak, they are unable to have a direct connection with the Father or
to take correction from the Father, so they have to take co-operation from the
second number elevated souls and have themselves verified. By having yourself
verified, you will easily be purified. So, do you understand what you have to
check and how?

Firstly, don’t hide anything. Secondly, don’t
ignore anything whilst knowing it; don’t just make do. When you just make do,
you also cry out. So, today, BapDada was looking at the power of the Shakti
Army. Now use the powers you have attained because it is your actions that give
your introduction to all the souls of the world. It is through your actions
that they will easily come to know you. Actions are more gross than thoughts,
which are subtle energy. Souls of today are able to recognise the physical form
very quickly. Generally, subtle energy is much more elevated than physical, but
it is very difficult now for people to catch vibrations of the subtle power.
Through the power of your actions they will continue to come to know the power
of your thoughts. Serving through the mind is more elevated than serving
through actions. The service you do to transform the attitudes and atmosphere
through your attitude is extremely elevated. Nevertheless, it is easier to
perform actions than to do that. You have also been given this definition
before, but, today, Baba is clarifying the aspect of giving a glimpse or vision
of you being an embodiment of power through your actions. It will become easier
for the power of your thoughts to reach them through your actions. Otherwise,
weak actions and the subtle energy will bring down the intellect and your
thoughts, just as the earth’s gravity brings things down from above. Therefore,
put that vision into a practice. Achcha.
To those who reveal every power through their
actions, to those who reveal the Almighty Authority Father through being
embodiments of power, to those who are embodiments of power and who constantly
recognise and then transform themselves, to those who constantly grant a vision
of the unique Father through their activities, to such master almighty
authority souls who perform elevated actions, to the souls who are embodiments
of power, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
BapDada meeting groups:
1.
The result of giving Maya hospitality is sadness.
Do you constantly
consider yourselves to be BapDada’s companions? The sign of your constantly
experiencing the Father’s company is constant victory. If you spend a lot of
time battling and finding everything hard work, it proves that you don’t have
the Father’s company. Those who experience His company constantly remain
absorbed in love for Him. A soul merged in the Ocean of Love cannot be
influenced by anyone else. It is not a big thing for Maya to come, but do not
let her show her form. By offering hospitality to Maya you experience sadness
as you move along. You feel that you are neither moving forward nor moving
backward; you are unable to move backward or forward. This is the influence of
Maya. The attraction of Maya doesn’t allow you to fly. In fact, there is no
question of moving backward, anyway. However, if you are not moving forward,
then check the seed and burn it. Don’t think, “I am moving along, I am coming,
I am listening, I am serving according to my capacity.” Instead of doing that,
check to what extent there is progress in your speed and your stage. Achcha.
2.
Only those who surrender to the Father with one strike
become a mahaprasad (great offering).
Are all of you
children especially experiencing your inheritance of the stage of
liberation-in-life? Are you liberated-in-life or bound-in-life? To be a trustee
means to be one who is liberated-in-life. So have you died alive or are you
still dying? For how many years will you still be dying? On the path of
devotion, what do they offer as prasad (bhog) to the non-living idols? What is
sacrificed instantly with one strike. A sacrifice that dies crying out cannot
be offered as prasad. Only those who sacrifice themselves with one strike
become prasad in front of the Father, only those who surrender themselves in
one go. It is an instant sacrifice for those who consider everything and think,
“I am Baba’s and Baba is mine”. As soon as you have the thought, everything is
finished and you are struck by the sword; you are one who has been sacrificed
in an instant. If you think, “I will become that, it will happen”, and
constantly put everything off until some time ahead, that is like crying out.
Those who constantly think in that way cannot be liberatedin-life. As soon as
you say “Baba”, then, “As is the Father, so the children”. It is not possible
for the Father to be the Ocean and the children to be beggars. The Father has
made you an offer, “Belong to Me!” There is nothing to think about in this.
Achcha.
Questions asked by double-foreign brothers and
sisters and BapDada's responses:
1.
Question: How can we children go on a world tour with Baba?
Answer: For this, you need to stabilise in the
stage of a world benefactor, in an unlimited stage, the same as the Father. You
will then experience what is portrayed in the picture of Shri Krishna sitting
16/04/17 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 19/03/82
3/4
on the globe. You will be sitting on the globe of
the world. You will automatically have toured the world. When you go to a very
high place, you don't need to go around it, because by remaining in one place
you are able to see everything. When you stabilise in the stage of being at the
top, in the seed stage, in the stage of a world benefactor, then the whole
world appears to be like a small ball. Then, because you will be in an elevated
stage, you will be able to tour around in a second. You can experience going on
a practical tour through divine vision sometimes or with your subtle angelic
form. Just as you circle around in a plane, you can also encircle the whole
world with your angelic form; you can tour the world in both these ways. Since
you are the children of the Creator of the world, you will tour around the
whole of creation, will you not?
2.
Question: Many times, whilst sitting in yoga we receive
very good touchings, but how can we tell whether those touchings are from Baba
or not?
Answer: 1) Baba's touchings are always powerful and
you will experience this power to be more powerful than your own power. 2)
There will be the experience of easy success in Baba's touchings. 3) There will
never be questions of "Why?" or "What?" about Baba's
touchings. Everything will be very clear. So, from these things, you can
understand that that is a touching from Baba.
3.
Question: How can one recognise whether one has surrendered
with one’s intellect or not?
Answer: The meaning of “surrendering with the
intellect” is: Whatever the intellect decides will be according to shrimat,
because the work of the intellect is to decide. Therefore, let nothing but
shrimat enter your intellect. Because you constantly have the awareness of Baba
in your intellect, that will be the decision-making power. The practical sign
of that is that your judgement will be correct and filled with success.
Whatever such a soul says, he will like it himself and others too will accept
it as a very good thing. Everyone will feel that that your intellect is very
clear and surrendered. You will be content with your intellect. There won't be
any question as to whether someone is right or wrong.
4.
Question: Why is it that some children who have faith in
the intellect leave after four or five years? How can this wave be finished?
Answer: The particular reason why they leave is
that, although they keep very busy in service, they lose the balance between
serving the self and service. That is one reason why some good children come to
a halt. Another is that they have a particular sanskar in which they have been
weak from the beginning, but they hide it and continue to battle with it by
themselves. They don't clearly tell BapDada or the instrument souls about that
weakness and thus they don’t finish that sanskar. Because they hide it, that
weakness takes on a dangerous form inside them and they don't experience
themselves to be making progress. They then feel disheartened and leave Baba.
The third reason is that they are unable to harmonise their sanskars with those
of others. Their sanskars are in conflict with those of others. In order to
finish this wave of souls leaving, together with service, full attention has to
be paid to keeping a balance between self-service and service. Everyone who
comes needs to be very clear with BapDada and the instrument souls. If you feel
that service is too much, then first think of a means for your own progress.
Also tell the instrument souls about your feelings. First, draw the attention
of the new ones to these things. Check your own sanskars first. If you have a
conflict of sanskars with anyone, it is good to step away from that person. It
is better to separate yourself from any circumstances where there is a conflict
of sanskars.
5.
Question: If there is no result from the service done at a
particular place, is that due to one's own weakness or is it due to the land
there being like that?
Answer: First of all, try using all types of
facilities for service. If, after doing all types of service, there is still no
result, then it is possible that it could be the land. If service is not
increasing due to your own weakness, then your conscience will definitely bite
that service is not taking place because of you. At such a time, take help from
one another and fill one another with force. If
16/04/17 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 19/03/82
4/4
it is due to you, then the souls that emerge from
that land will also be weak; they won't be intense effort-makers. Achcha.
Blessing: May you become constantly victorious by
transforming the attitudes of others with your own efforts as well as by
experimenting with yoga.
Effort prepares the land and that is necessary but,
along with effort, also transform the attitudes of others by experimenting with
yoga and success will visibly come close to you. With strong faith and the
experimentation of yoga, you can transform anyone’s intellect. Whenever there
has been some upheaval in service, it is by experimenting with yoga that they
gained victory. So, prepare the land through your effort, but, in order to
reveal the seed, experiment with yoga and you will then receive the blessing of
being victorious.
Slogan: Those who accumulate the treasure of
charity by doing service are charitable souls.
