Essence of Murli August 20, 2014: 

Essence:   Sweet children, remember the Father, the Remover of Sorrow and the Bestower of Happiness, (Dukh Harta Sukh Karta) and all your sorrow will be removed and your final thoughts will lead you to your destination. (ant mati so gati)

Question: Why has the Father given you the direction to stay in remembrance whilst walking and moving around?

Answer:     1. It is only through remembrance that your burden of sins of many births will be removed. 2. It is only through remembrance that the soul will become satopradhan. 3. If you have the practice of staying in remembrance from now, you will be able to stay in remembrance of the one Father in your final moments. It is remembered of the end: Those who remember their wife in their final moments... 4. By remembering the Father, the happiness of 21 births appears in front of you. There is no one in the whole world as sweet as the Father. This is why the Father's direction is: Children, whilst walking and moving around, remember Me alone. 

Essence for dharna:

1.      Do not look at anything evil with your eyes. Look at everything with the third eye of knowledge, the civil eye, that the Father has given you. Make full effort to become satopradhan.

2.      Whilst taking care of your home and family, remember the Father, the loveliest of all. Create such a stage that, at the end, you do not remember anything except the one Father.

Blessing: May you turn (transform) yourself as a return of love and become equal to the Father, complete and perfect.(sampann aur sampoorn)

The sign of loving someone is that you cannot bear to see any weaknesses in the one you love. You will consider the mistake of someone you love to be your own mistake. When the Father hears anything about the children, He considers it to apply to Him. The Father wishes to see the children complete and perfect, the same as He is. As a return of this love, turn yourself. Devotees are ready to cut off their head and offer it to that One. You don't have to cut off your physical head, but cut off the heads of Ravan.

Baba says, The Father is the Ocean of Love, with love beyond all realms. Because of having such unlimited love, He considers our weaknesses to be His own. In order to be at par with the Father, to be on an equal footing with the Father, he wants us to transform and become complete and perfect.(sampann aur sampoorn). By constantly being merged in the love for the One Father, and by considering the one Father to be our entire world, we easily remain in the experience of belonging to the one Father and none other...By drinking one drop of Manmanabhav from the Ocean of Love, we receive liberation-in-life in one second...all we have to do is to sacrifice our vices, and we go from the ocean of poison to the ocean of milk and become Madhyajibhav...

 

Slogan:      To do the service of creating a powerful atmosphere through your spiritual vibrations is most elevated service.

Whatever thoughts I have, whatever attitude I have, the same vibrations will spread into the atmosphere and into numerous souls... we are world servers... we transform the atmosphere with our pure and benevolent and spiritual attitude and make it powerful... we do service through our body-mind-wealth, thoughts-words-actions...with pure thinking, pure words, pure actions, pure thoughts, pure feelings and pure wishes for all, we spread pure vibrations in the atmosphere and the environment...

 

Om shanti.

In remembrance of whom are you sitting? This relationship with the One who liberates everyone from sorrow is the loveliest relationship of all. When the Father looks at you children, all your sins continue to be cut away. The soul is moving towards the satopradhan stage. There is limitless sorrow. It is remembered: He is the Remover of Sorrow and the Bestower of Happiness. The Father has now truly come to liberate you from all sorrow. In heaven, there is no name or trace of sorrow.(naam-nishaan) It is most essential to remember such a Father. A father has love for his children. You know which children the Father loves. It has been explained to you children: Consider yourselves to be souls, not bodies. Those who are very good jewels remember the Father whilst walking and moving around. Why does He say this? Because your urn of sin of many births is full. So, only through this pilgrimage of remembrance will you become charitable souls from sinful souls. You children also know that this is an old body. It is the soul that receives sorrow. When the body is hurt, the soul feels the pain. The soul says: I am diseased and unhappy. This is the world of sorrow. No matter where you go, there is nothing but sorrow. There cannot be sorrow in the land of happiness. When you mention sorrow, it means that you are in the land of sorrow. There isn't even the slightest sorrow in the land of happiness. There is little time left and you have to make full effort to remember the Father during this time. The more remembrance you continue to have, the more satopradhan you will continue to become. You have to make effort and create such a stage that, at the end, you don't remember anything except the one Father. There is a song: Those who remember their wife in the final moments... These are the final moments! It is the end of the old world, the land of sorrow. You are now making effort to go to the land of happiness. You have become Brahmins from shudras. You should remember this. Shudras have sorrow. We have moved away from sorrow and are now climbing to the peak. Therefore, we have to remember the one Father. He is the most beloved Father. What is sweeter than Him? The soul only remembers that Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He is the Father of all souls. There is nothing in this world sweeter than Him. There are so many children. In how much time would He remember them all? In a second. Achcha, how does the cycle of the whole world turn? The accurate meaning of this is in the intellects of you children. For instance, when people return from seeing a drama (play), and someone asks them whether they remember all the drama or not, as soon as they say, "Yes", the whole drama would enter their intellects from the beginning to the end. However, it would take time for them to speak about it. Baba is the unlimited Baba. By your remembering Him, the happiness of 21 births appears in front of you. You receive this inheritance from the Father. The Father's inheritance appears in front of you children in a second. As soon as a child is born, his father knows that an heir has taken birth. He would remember all his property. Each one of you is an individual child and you receive your individual inheritance. You have individual remembrance; each of you is an heir of the unlimited Father. In the golden age, there will just be one son. He is the heir of all the property. As soon as you children found the Father, you became the masters of the world in a second. It doesn't take long. The Father says: Consider yourselves to be souls. Do not consider yourself to be a female. A soul is a male. Baba says: I remember all the children. All souls are brothers. Those of other religions who come all say: Those of all religions are brothers. However, they do not understand this. You now understand that you are the most beloved children of Baba. You will definitely receive your full unlimited inheritance from the Father. How will you claim it? You children remember that in a second. We were satopradhan and then we became tamopradhan. We now have to become satopradhan once again. You know that you have to claim your inheritance of the happiness of heaven from Baba. The Father says: Consider yourselves to be souls. The body is perishable. It is the soul that sheds his body and departs. He goes and enters a womb in a new body. When the fetus (putla) is ready, the soul enters it. However, that is under the influence of Ravan. The soul enters the jail under the influence of vices. There, there is no Ravan. There is no question of sorrow. When you become old, you become aware that you will shed that body and enter another body. There is no question of fear there. Here, there is so much fear. There, you remain fearless. The Father takes you children into limitless happiness. There is limitless happiness in the golden age and limitless sorrow in the iron age. That is why this is called the land of sorrow. The Father doesn't cause you any difficulty. Although you may live at home with your family and look after your children, you simply have to remember the Father. Renounce all the gurus etc. I am greater than all the gurus. All of them are My creation. No one, apart from Me, can be called the Purifier. Would you call Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar Purifiers? No. Even deities cannot be called that. No one except Me can be called that. Would you children call the Ganges the Purifier? Those rivers of water flow constantly. The rivers Ganges and Brahmaputra etc. have always existed. People are always bathing in those. When there is rain, there are floods and that too is sorrow. There is limitless sorrow! Look how many people died in the floods. In the golden age, there is no question of sorrow. Even animals don't have sorrow there, nor do they have untimely death. This drama is created in this way. On the path of devotion, they sing: Baba, when You come I will belong to You alone. He does come. He comes between the end of the land of sorrow and the beginning of the land of happiness. However, no one knows this. No one knows what the duration of the world is. The Father tells you everything easily. Did you know previously that the duration of the world is 5000 years? Those people say that it is hundreds of thousands of years, but the Father has now explained to you that every age is 1250 years. In the swastika, they show the four equal parts accurately. There isn't the slightest difference between them. Reasoning also says that there has to be an accurate account. At Jagannath Puri, when they cook rice in a particular pot, (handa)it automatically divides into four equal parts. They have created a method of doing that. People there eat a lot of rice. Whether you call it Jagannath or Shrinath, it is the same thing. They show both of them as ugly. In the Shrinath Temple, they have urns of ghee and you receive very good nourishing food fried in ghee. They have shops outside to sell all of that. They offer such a great quantity of bhog there. All the pilgrims go and buy that from the shops. At Jagannath, they only have rice. One is Jagannath and the other is Shrinath. They show the land of happiness and the land of sorrow. Shrinath belonged to the land of happiness and the other to the land of sorrow. It is at this time that people have become ugly by climbing onto the pyre of lust. They simply offer rice as bhog to Jagannath. They show that one to be poor and the other one to be wealthy. Only the one Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. Devotion is called ignorance and you don't receive anything from that. There, the gurus have a lot of income. If someone is clever and others learn something from him, those others would say: This one is my guru and he taught me this. All of those are physical, those who take birth. Who is with you now? The Father without an image. He says: This is not My body. This is the body of your Dada who has taken the full 84 births. I enter Him at the end of the last of his many births in order to take you to the land of happiness. He is also called Gaumukh. People come from so far away to see a Gaumukh. There is a Gaumukh here too. The water definitely comes from the mountains. Water enters the well from the mountains every day. It never stops. The water continues to come. When streams come from anywhere, they call that the water of the Ganges. They go there to bathe, considering it to be water of the Ganges. However, no one can become pure from impure through that water. The Father says: I am the Purifier. 0 souls, constantly remember Me alone! Renounce your body and all your bodily relations, consider yourself to be a soul and remember Me and your sins of many births will be burnt away. The Father liberates you from the sins of many births. At this time, everyone in the world continues to commit sin. There is the suffering of karma. You have all committed sin in your previous births. There is the account of 63 births. Your degrees continue to decrease little by little, just as the degrees of the moon do. This is the unlimited day and night. Now the whole world, and Bharat in particular, has the omens of Rahu over it. There is the eclipse of Rahu. You children are now becoming beautiful from ugly. This is why even Krishna is called Shyam-Sundar. They have truly portrayed him as ugly. They have shown this symbol because he climbed onto the pyre of lust. However, people's intellects do not work at all! They sometimes show him as beautiful and sometimes ugly. You are now making effort to become beautiful. Only when you make effort to become satopradhan will you become that. There is no question of difficulty in this. You are listening to this knowledge now, and it will then disappear. Although people study and relate the Gita, they cannot relate this knowledge. That is a religious book for the path of devotion. There is a lot of paraphernalia for the path of devotion and there are many scriptures; some read things and others do something else. People go to the temple of Rama and they have even shown Rama as ugly. Just think about why they show them as ugly. There is also Kali of Calcutta. They call out to her, "Ma, Ma," and experience distress. She is a most feared one and they show a very fearsome form of her. They call her "Mother". You have this arrow and sword of knowledge, and so they have shown her with weapons. In fact, previously, they used to sacrifice people to Kali. The Government put a stop to that. Previously, in Sindh, they didn't have a temple to that goddess. When a bomb exploded, a brahmin priest said: Kali has said that there isn't a temple to her here, and that one should be built quickly, otherwise, another bomb would explode. They then collected a lot of money and a temple was built. Look, there are now so many temples! People wander to so many places. The Father explains to you in order to liberate you from all of those things. He does not defame anyone. The Father explains the drama to you and how this world cycle is created. Whatever you have seen will exist again. The things that do not exist now will be created. You have now understood that there used to be your kingdom. You have now lost that. Once again the Father now says: Children, if you want to change from an ordinary human into Narayan, then make effort! You have been listening to many religious stories on the path of devotion. You listened to the story of immortality, but did anyone become immortal? Did anyone receive the third eye of knowledge? The Father sits here and explains these things. Do not look at anything evil through those eyes. Look at everything with civil eyes, not with criminal eyes. Do not look at this old world; it is to be destroyed. The Father says: Sweetest children, I am going to leave after giving you the kingdom for 21 births. There isn't anyone else's kingdom there. There is no mention of sorrow there. You remain very happy and wealthy there. Here, people starve to death. There, you rule over the whole world. You need so little land. At first, it is a small garden and then it gradually grows and by the end of the iron age, it becomes so big, and because of the influence of the five vices, it becomes a forest of thorns. The Father says: Lust is the greatest enemy. You receive sorrow from its beginning through the middle to the end. You now understand knowledge and devotion. Destruction is just ahead of you. Therefore, now make effort quickly. Otherwise, your sins will not be burnt away. Your sins can only be cut away by having remembrance of the Father. Only the one Father is the Purifier. Those who made effort in the previous cycle will definitely do that again. Do not become slack! Do not remember anyone except the one Father! Everyone else causes you sorrow. Remember the One who gives you constant happiness. Do not be careless about this! If you don't remember Him, how would you become pure? 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 20, 2014: Interfere Lovefully

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 20, 2014: Interfere Lovefully

Interfere Lovefully

One of the deepest habits we learn is interfering in others' lives. Even if we are not actively interfering there is a good chance it's happening in our heads. Then, when people don't do what we want them to do, which is usually all the time, our ability to relax is non existent. If you want to interfere successfully in someone else's life, try this loveful approach. It begins with acceptance, continues with acknowledgement, is empowered by appreciation and ends in actualization. Only in this way can we help others be all that they can possibly be, and what else is life for, but to help others to be all that they can be. Only by making love practical in this way, can we heal our own habits of criticism, envy and blame. Accept, acknowledge and appreciate. It doesn't mean you have to agree, comply or condone. The paradox is that we ourselves will receive the same in the process, not only from ourselves, as we become what we give, but from others along the way. Why? It's the law!relax7

Easiness

When we start with something, which has never been done before, we
first have a doubt if we could do it. The task in itself is not very
difficult, but it is this thought that makes it seem much more
difficult than it actually is. This fear doesn't let us use all our
potentials in an easy way. If there is a task, which is considered by
everyone to be difficult, or if I have any fear associated with it, I
need to first take a conscious thought that it is actually easy. And as
I move along I will find the solutions and I will continue to progress.
This thought enables me to be easy and finish everything easily.

Providing Emotional Support To Your Loved Ones

What do we do when friends and loved ones come to us for, and expect emotional support from us? Spirituality teaches us the right technique of providing emotional support - the technique of detached involvement, which is the technique of not being overawed, of not being affected ourselves by the emotions of others. If a friend, colleague or any loved one is upset and we also get upset (because we love them - that's what we normally say), we cannot provide them the necessary support or the assistance to see why they are reacting emotionally and how they might change the nature of their emotions by themselves. True love for someone would mean that I am able to provide them that. While being concerned is fine, but by becoming upset, seeing them upset simply aggravates the situation and adds fuel to their fire.

By remaining detached, we can be more effective in our ability to care, listen and help them think clearly about the situation, they find themselves in. Only if we are stable, and that can happen only when we are detached, will we be able to provide them stability. We can encourage and empower them to change their negative reaction to a more positive response, and thereby generate a healthier energy. If we become over-involved in someone else's problems, there is a risk that our own judgment will be affected negatively. This is why making decisions and choices under the influence of your own and others' emotions is normally ineffective.

Soul Sustenance

Experiencing Spiritual Growth Through Group Interactions

Anyone who is inclined towards growing spiritually will sooner or later feel the need to taking up a particular spiritual path, which provides him/her with an assigned code of leading a spiritual life and helps him/her to incorporate it in his/her life. This also means becoming a part of a spiritual group or gathering or community and participating in spiritual study, practice like meditation or prayer and perform service along with the group. But, on the other hand, there are also many spiritually motivated people who are not very interested in groups and communities and keep a distance from them. They are of the opinion that it is easier to work it out alone by collecting information from other alternate sources by books, the internet, the television, videos, etc. and progress spiritually. But the relationship between spiritual growth and being a part of or participating in a group is clear.

For the isolated and solitary person, growth is limited, since the personality is not activated to the same extent as when it interacts with others. In relationships and in living together, the various forms of hidden ego and the different shades of the personality, positive as well as negative, are stimulated, creating the possibility of being more aware and conscious about them, bringing about greater growth and spiritual development. After all, one of the main objectives of spiritual development is achieving victory over the ego and becoming soul conscious, getting rid of the negative shades of the personality and further enhancing the positive traits and skills, so that they can be used for benefiting the self and others.

Tomorrow we shall explain the various powers that are required to experience success in groups, which as a result, get enhanced in group activities and interactions.

Message for the day

The method to overcome fear is to keep giving power to others.

Projection: In difficult situations, the first reaction is that of fear- of the consequences, of one's own power to face the situation. With this comes the expectation that others should understand and help.

Solution: We need to take a thought to continue to give others even in difficult situations. Then, we will be able to overcome our fear. Since our mind is busy giving others we will be free from any negative thoughts and thus we will be stable.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli August 19, 2014:

Essence of Murli August 19, 2014:

Essence:   Sweet children, the greatest Father does not give you important people a lot of effort to make. He says: Just remember two words: Alpha and beta.

Question: What is the spiritual Father's main task through which He experiences pleasure?

Answer:     The spiritual Father's main task is to purify the impure. The Father experiences great pleasure in purifying you. The Father comes to grant salvation to you children. He makes you all satopradhan because you now have to return home. Simply make this one lesson firm: I am a soul not a body. It is through this lesson that you can have remembrance of the Father and become pure.

 

Essence for dharna:

1.      In order to pass with full marks, make your intellect satopradhan and divine. (paaras) Change from one with a gross intellect into one with a subtle intellect (moti buddhi se maheen buddhi) and understand the unique (vichitr) secrets of the drama.

2.      Now perform divine and alokik actions like the Father does. Become doubly non-violent and have your sins absolved with the power of yoga.

Blessing: May you be a powerful soul who experiences safety and gives others the same experience by surrounding them with pure thoughts.

A powerful soul is one who finishes all waste in less than a second with the power of determination. Recognize the power of pure thoughts. One pure and powerful thought can perform many wonders. Simply have a determined thought and this determination will bring success. Surround everyone with pure thoughts and tie them with this in such a way that if any of them are even a little weak, their being surrounded in this way will become a canopy of protection, (chhatrchhaaya) a means of safety and a fortress for them.

Baba says, thoughts have power; pure thoughts are positive energies, radiating pure and positive power. This power creates a safety net, makes a protective canopy and builds a tall wall that encircles weak souls, and wards off negativities. Never think that you do not get opportunities to do service. This service can be done from anywhere. So, have the determination to vanquish waste thoughts in less than a second and send pure wishes and good feelings to all. This is the real "Power of Now".

 

Slogan: Those who receive sustenance (paalna), study (padhaai) and the shrimat for an elevated life directly from God have the most elevated fortune.

By receiving three divine sustenances from BapDada at the same time in the confluence age, we, the blessed souls, have the fortune of happiness and finish the words “labour” and “difficult”...in the relationship of the Father, we are sustained with the awareness of the inheritance... in the relationship of the Teacher, we are sustained with teachings...in the relationship of the Satguru, we are sustained with the experience of blessings and continue to experience an easy and elevated life...

 

Om shanti.

The spiritual Father sits and explains to you spiritual children. The Father experiences pleasure in purifying you children. Therefore, He says: Remember the Purifier Father. Only the one Father is the Bestower of Salvation for All; no one else can be this. It is at this time that you understand that you definitely now have to return home. In order to inspire you to make more effort, the Father says that it is essential to have the pilgrimage of remembrance. It is only by having remembrance that you become pure; then comes study.

Firstly, remember Alpha, the Father, and then the kingdom. You are given directions for this. You know how you take 84 births and change from satopradhan to tamopradhan; you come down the ladder. You now have to become satopradhan again. The golden age is the pure world. There, not a single person is impure. These things do not exist in the golden age. The main aspect is to become pure. Now become pure, for only then will you go to the new world and become worthy of claiming a kingdom. Everyone has to become pure. There, no one is impure.

Those who make effort to become satopradhan are the ones who will become the masters of the pure world. This is the one main aspect. You have to become satopradhan by having remembrance of the Father. The Father does not make you make a lot of effort. He simply says: Consider yourself to be a soul. He says again and again: Make the one lesson firm: that you are not a body but a soul; that's all.

Important people do not read a lot; they are briefed in essence. Important people are not given any difficulty. You know how many births you have taken to change from satopradhan to tamopradhan. It would not be said to be 63 births; it takes 84 births. You have the faith that you were satopradhan, that you were residents of heaven, that is, the masters of the land of happiness. It was the land of happiness which was also called the original eternal deity religion. They too were human beings but they had divine virtues.

At this time, human beings have devilish traits. It is written in the scriptures that the kingdom of deities was established after a war took place between the devils and the deities. The Father explains that you were previously devils. The Father came and made you into Brahmins. He shows you the way to change from a Brahmin into a deity. However, there was no question of a war between devils and deities. It has been said of the deities that their religion was the highest religion of non-violence. Deities never fight. There cannot be any question of violence. How could there be a war in the divine kingdom of the golden age? Would the deities of the golden age come here to fight with the devils, or would the devils go there to fight with the deities? Neither is possible.

This is the old world; that is the new world. Therefore, how could a war take place? Whatever people listen to on the path of devotion, they continue to say: True, true! Their intellects do not function at all. Their intellects are absolutely like stone. In the iron age, people have stone intellects whereas in the golden age they have divine intellects. That kingdom is of the Lord of Divinity. There is no kingdom here. The kings of the copper age were also impure. They had crowns embedded with jewels; they did not have a crown of light, that is, they were not pure.

There, everyone was pure. This does not mean that they had a halo of light above them; no. The halo of light in the pictures is shown to indicate their purity. You too are becoming pure at this time. Where is your light? You know that you become pure by having yoga with the Father. There, there is no trace of vice. The vicious kingdom of Ravan will have been destroyed. Ravan is shown here to prove that it is still the kingdom of Ravan. They burn an effigy of Ravan every year, but he does not burn. You are now gaining victory over him and then this Ravan will not exist.

You are non-violent. Your victory is through the power of yoga. All your sins of birth after birth are to be absolved through the pilgrimage of remembrance. When do your innumerable births start? When do your sinful actions start? It is you, who belong to the original eternal deity religion, who come first. It decreases by two degrees when those who belong to the sun dynasty become part of the moon dynasty. Then, your degrees gradually decrease. The main thing now is to remember the Father and become satopradhan. Those who became satopradhan in the previous cycle will become that again; they will continue to come.

Everyone is numberwise. Then, according to the drama, when they come, they will come, numberwise, in the same way. They will come and take birth. This drama is made in a unique way. You also require sense to understand this. Just as you have descended, so you also have to ascend. You will pass numberwise and you will then come down here numberwise. Your aim and objective is to become satopradhan. Not everyone will pass fully. After 100 marks, they continue to decrease. This is why you have to make a great deal of effort. It is in this effort that you fail.

It is easy to do service. The way you explain at the museum indicates how much you study. If a head teacher sees that someone is not explaining accurately, he would go and explain; he would go and help him. One or two guards are also given the duty to see whether everyone is explaining accurately or not, or whether they get confused if anyone asks them anything. You understand that service at the exhibitions is better than the service at a centre and that service at the museum is better than at the exhibition. There is a good display at the museum, and those who see it will go and tell others about it. This will continue till the end.

The words "Godfatherly World University" are good. There is no mention of human beings in this. Who inaugurates this? The Father said that when you invite eminent people to come for an inauguration,(udghaatan) many others would also come when they hear the names of eminent people. Many will come because of one. This is why the Father wrote to Delhi telling them to print the opinions of important people, so that, when people read them, they will say that all of those important people come to you and give very good opinions. It is good to have those printed. There is no question of magic etc. in this. This is why the Father continues to write that you have to create a book of all the opinions. You should also distribute them here.

It is said that the body is false and Maya is also false. (joothi maya, joothi kaya) Everything is included in this. There are many who say that this is the kingdom of Ravan, the kingdom of the devil.(Ravan raajya, raakshas raajya) Whoever the kingdom belongs to should be the first one to be concerned. They say: Purify us impure ones! Therefore, everything is included in this state of impurity. Everyone calls out: Oh Purifier! Therefore, they must surely be impure!

You have created an accurate picture in which it shows whether the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, is the Purifier or whether it is the rivers and lakes. There is a pool at Amritsar where all the water becomes dirty, but those people consider it to be a lake of nectar. The maharajas have it cleaned considering it to be a lake of nectar. This is why the name Amritsar has been given. Even the water of the Ganges is considered to be nectar! That water becomes so dirty; don't even ask! Baba has bathed in those rivers etc. That water is very dirty. People pick up mud from it and rub it on themselves. Baba has experienced this.

 Baba has adopted an old experienced body. There is no one who is as experienced as this one. He has also had the experience of meeting great kings and viceroys etc. He also used to sell millet and barley. In his childhood, he would become very happy earning four to six annas. Just look where he has now reached! Look what this village urchin has become!

The Father also says: I enter an ordinary body. This one did not know of his own births. The Father sits here and explains how he finally became a village urchin after taking 84 births. The divine activities are not of Krishna or Kans (the devil). To smash a pitcher of butter etc. - all of those things that are said about Krishna are false.

Just look how simply the Father explains: Sweetest children, as you sit and stand, as you move, simply remember Me alone. I am the Highest on High, the Father of all souls. You know that all of you are brothers and that that One is the Father. All of us brothers remember the one Father. People say, "Oh God! Oh Ishwar! but they don't know anything. The Father has now given His introduction. According to the drama plan, this is called the age of the Gita because the Father comes at this time and gives you the knowledge through which you become elevated. A soul adopts a body and speaks.

The Father also has to perform His divine, alokik task and so He takes the support of a body. For half the cycle, human beings become unhappy and so they call out to Him. The Father only comes once in a cycle. You play your parts again and again. The deity religion is original and eternal but the foundation of it no longer exists. Only their images remain. Therefore, the Father says that you too have to become Lakshmi and Narayan. Your aim and objective is in front of you. This is the original eternal deity religion. There is no such religion as the Hindu religion. The name Hindu is taken from Hindusthan.

Just as sannyasis refer to the place of residence, the brahm element, as God, in the same way, this land, where they reside, has been referred to as their religion. The Hindu religion is not the original and eternal religion. Hindus go in front of the idols of the deities and bow down to them. They sing praise of those who were once deities. Those same deities have become Hindus. Their religion and actions have become corrupt.(dharm bhrasht, karm bhrasht) All other religions stay in existence but the deity religion has disappeared. Those who were worthy of worship later become worshippers and worship those deities.

So much has to be explained to them. So much is also explained about Krishna. He is the first prince of the golden age, and so the 84 births also begin with him. The Father says: I enter this one at the end of his final birth of many births. Therefore, He would surely tell you about his account. This Lakshmi and Narayan became number one. Therefore, the one who was first then becomes last. There was not only one Krishna; there were also others who were part of the Vishnu dynasty.

You know these things very well. You must not forget these things. Museums now continue to be opened and many more will be opened. Many will come. People go to the temples and bow their heads. You also see that when devotees come to you and see the picture of Lakshmi and Narayan, they place money in front of it. You say: Here, it is a question of understanding, not of placing money in front of them. If you were to go to the Shiva Temple now, would you leave money there? You would go with the aim of explaining, because you know the biographies of all of them.

 There are many temples; the main one is the Shiva Temple. Why do they keep other idols there? If they place money in front of each one of them, then that becomes an income for the priest. So, should that be called a temple to Shiva or a temple to Shiva's family? Shiv Baba has created this family. The true family is you Brahmins. The saligrams represent Shiv Baba's family.

Afterwards, we become a family of brothers and sisters. At first, you are brothers and then, when the Father comes, you become brothers and sisters. Then, when you go to the golden age, the family becomes even bigger. Marriages also take place there, and so the family expands even more. When we reside in our home, that is, in the abode of peace, we are just brothers and there is the one Father. Here, you are children of the Father of Humanity, brothers and sisters. There is no other relationship.

Then, in the kingdom of Ravan, there is a great deal of expansion. The Father continues to explain all the secrets, yet He still says: Sweetest children, remember the Father and your sins of innumerable births will be removed. Your sins will not be cut away by studying. Remembrance of the Father is the main thing. 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 19, 2014: Let Go and Let Love

Daily Positive Thoughts: August 19, 2014: Let Go and Let Love

Let Go and Let Love

Just as the bird has to let go of the branch in order to fly,
in the same way we also need to let go to experience and express love. The branches we hold on to are our attachments (people and objects). When we mentally hold on to something or someone, we open ourselves to feel fear, pain, anger and possessiveness

Love is about letting go and letting others be. It's about appreciating and accepting without dependency and expectation.

 

Uniqueness

There is usually a tendency to want to be recognized by others and we
try hard to make our actions such that others are pleased with whatever
we do. Sometimes we do succeed, but at other times when we do not get
any positive response from the others, we then tend to become
disheartened. We need to recognize our own uniqueness and remember it
consciously in everything that we do. We need to recognize the fact
that there is no human being without any specialty. We too have a
specialty, which makes us special. Using this unique quality of ours
will bring specialty in our actions too.

Experiencing Freedom In Relationships

How much are you influenced by what others think of you and how they see you? The degree to which you act on the basis of what you think others want and expect of you, allows them to have power over your inner and outer world.

Important aspects are how you think others see you, how you want them to see you and how you see yourself. The person who is not conditioned by how others see them, and doesn't even think about how they would like to be seen, but who rather is comfortable with themselves, has a presence that generates comfort. Others feel fine around that person.

Let us learn to free ourselves from the conditionings that generate the thinking of how we want others to see us. Let us feel the freedom to let ourselves be how we want to be.

Try it and you will see that the results are amazing. That way, as you go along, you will take off the masks that you wear due to the fears of what others will say and think.

Inculcating Powers Through Rajyoga Meditation –

The Power To Pack Up (cont.)


As I progress on my spiritual journey, even thoughts that waste the precious resources of the mind come to be seen as a barrier. Turning a scene over in my mind repeatedly is an example of waste, that will rob me of the mental concentration and emotional stability I need to keep moving forward. Sometimes we do get stuck, like a broken record, in such mental grooves, without realizing what we are doing.

The power of pack up means I recognize the damage caused by such waste, and put an end to it. As I renew the awareness of myself as a soul, in relationship with the Supreme Soul, the needle of my attention is lifted above the groove, letting me come fully into the present.

I also learn to be selective in what I choose to remember or forget from the past. This is not dishonest; in fact, it is being honest to my task. Human beings in any case have highly selective memories. We not only see and understand differently, according to our individual interests and agendas, but our attitudes and perception also determine the memories we choose to store.

Meditation enables me to exercise this option quite deliberately, picking up those scenes from the past that nourish me and help me move forward, and rejecting memories that pollute my mind and slow me down.
 

Message for the day

The one who gives constantly is a true bestower.

Projection: We usually find ourselves giving only to those who give to us. When someone gives us love or happiness, we too are inspired to give. So we find that unless we get from others, it becomes difficult to give.

Solution: We need to have the aim of not letting anyone go from us empty handed. That means we give them an experience of love or happiness or whatever they need at that time. When we have that aim, we will be able to give even when we don't get anything. And then, we find that only when we give do we get.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris

Essence of Murli August 18, 2014

Essence of Murli August 18, 2014:

Essence:   Sweet children, this Brahma is the court (darbaar) of the Satguru. The Satguru is present in the centre of this forehead. He is the One who grants you salvation.

Question: From what type of slavery has the Father come to free you children?

Answer:     At this time, all the children have become enslaved by nature and Maya. The Father now frees you from this slavery. Both Maya and nature now cause you distress. Sometimes, there are storms, sometimes famine. Later you will become such masters that the whole of nature will become your slave and there will be no attacks of Maya.

 

Essence for dharna:

1       Only listen to that which the Father tells you and judge what is right. Only remember that which is right. Do not listen to, speak about or look at unrighteous things.

2.      Study well and make yourself a king of kings. Consider yourself to be only temporarily in that old body and this old world.

 

Blessing: May you be a special soul who comes away from the world of forgetfulness,(vismriti)  remains an embodiment of remembrance (smriti swaroop) and plays a hero part.

This confluence age is the age of remembrance and the iron age is the age of forgetfulness. All of you have come away from the world of forgetfulness. Those who are embodiments of remembrance are special souls who play hero parts. At this time, you are double heroes: firstly, you have become as valuable as diamonds (hiro diamond) and secondly, you have hero parts. So, let this song of the heart constantly play: Wah my elevated fortune! Just as you remember the occupation of your body, similarly remember your imperishable occupation that you are an elevated soul and you will then be said to be a special soul.

Baba says, you are a valuable diamond. In this confluence age of remembrance, remain constantly stable in the zero stage, and play hero parts with the Zero Father... you are the special souls and the decorations of the world,  the  hero actors in the world drama, playing a special part.. become a zero, that is, an embodiment of remembrance,  and maintain the awareness of your hero part. The pun is on the word hero.

 

Slogan: Take the first step of courage and move forward and you will receive complete help from the Father.

By taking one step of courage, we get a thousand steps of help from the Father...Children who maintain courage, receive help from the Father.. By being with the Father, the Helper and receiving extra help, we fly and make others fly on the wings of keenness, zeal, zest, enthusiasm, courage and enterprise in any difficult task...

 

Om shanti.

You sweetest, spiritual children understand that Baba is the Supreme Father as well as the Supreme Teacher. He explains to you the secrets of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world. He is also the Supreme Guru. Therefore, this is the court of the Satguru. There are courts, courts of gurus. Those are courts of just gurus, not the Satguru. They call themselves Shri, Shri 108, but "Satguru" is not written as part of their title. They are simply called gurus whereas that One is the Satguru. First, He is the Father, then the Teacher and then the Satguru. It is the Satguru who grants salvation. There are no gurus in the golden and silver ages because everyone there is in salvation. When the one Satguru is found, name and trace of all other gurus finishes. The Supreme Guru is the Guru of all gurus. Just as you call Him the Husband of all husbands,(Pation ka Pati) so He has been given this title because He is highest of all. You are sitting here with the Supreme Father. For what reason? To claim your unlimited inheritance. This is an unlimited inheritance. He is the Father as well as your Teacher and this inheritance is for the new world, the land of immortality, the viceless world. The new world is called the viceless world whereas the old world is called the vicious world. The golden age is called the Temple of Shiva because it is established by Shiv Baba. The vicious world is established by Ravan. You are now sitting in the court of the Satguru. Only you children know this. The Father is the Ocean of Peace. It is only when the Father comes that He can give you your inheritance of peace and show you the path. How can peace be found in the jungles? This is why the example of the queen's necklace is given. Peace is the garland around the neck of you souls. Then, when the kingdom of Ravan begins, there is peacelessness. That is called the land of peace and happiness where there is no question of sorrow. It is the Satguru who is always praised. You would never have heard such praise of a guru. Only that one Father is the Ocean of Knowledge. Have you ever heard such praise of a guru? No, those gurus cannot be the Purifier of the whole world. Only the incorporeal One, the great unlimited Baba, can be called that. You are now at the confluence age. On the one side, there is the impure, old world and on the other side, there is the pure, new world. There are many gurus in the impure world. Previously, you didn't know about the confluence age. The Father has now explained that this is the most auspicious confluence age. After this, the golden age will come; the cycle continues to turn. You have to keep it in your intellects that you are all brothers. Therefore, you would surely receive your inheritance from the unlimited Father. No one knows about this. There are many people with important positions, but they don't know anything. The Father says: I grant salvation to all of you. You have now become sensible. Previously, you didn't know anything. You used to go in front of the deity idols and say: We are senseless, we have no virtues, have mercy for us! Now, would those deity idols have mercy for anyone? They don't know who is merciful. People even say: 0 God, the Father, have mercy for us! They definitely remember the Father when any sorrowful incident takes place. You no longer say this. The Father is the One without an image. He is sitting in front of you. That is why He says "Namaste" to you. All of you have an image (chitrdhaari) whereas I am without an image.(Vichitr) I never adopt an image. Tell Me the name of My image! You would say "Shiv Baba", that's all. I have taken this body on loan and it is the oldest of old shoes, I come and enter this one. This body is not praised. This is an old body. Is he praised because he is adopted? No. The Father says: This one used to be like that and he will become beautiful again through Me. The Father now says: Judge whether whatever I tell you is right and, if so, remember that which is right. Only listen to that One. Do not listen to anything unrighteous. That is called evil. Speak no evil! See no evil! Forget everything you see through those eyes. You now have to return to your home and you will then go back to your land of happiness. All the rest are as though they are dead. They are here temporarily. Neither will this old body remain nor will this old world exist. We are making effort to go to the new world. Then this world history and geography will repeat. You are claiming your fortune of that kingdom. You know that the Father comes every cycle to give you your fortune of the kingdom. You also say that you met Baba a cycle ago, that you claimed your inheritance from Him and changed from an ordinary human into Narayan. However, it is not possible for everyone to claim the same status; all are numberwise. This is a spiritual university and it is the spiritual Father who is teaching you. Some children also teach. The son of the principal of a school would also become busy in that service. His wife would also start to teach. If their daughter studies well she too can teach. However, she then goes to another home. It is not a general rule here for a daughter to have a job. To claim a status in the new world depends entirely on this study. People of the world do not know these things. It is written: God speaks: (Bhagwaanuvaach)" 0 children, I am making you into kings of kings.(rajaaon ke raja) I do not make you into models like those of the deities. You study and claim that status here. Those people make stone idols for worshipping. You souls study here and carry those sanskars with you. Then, you will go and take bodies in the new world. The world is never really destroyed, only the ages change: golden age, silver age, copper age, iron age. 16 degrees are reduced to 14 degrees. It is the same world that continues; from new, it becomes old. The Father is making you into kings of kings through this study. No one else has the power to teach in this way. He explains to you so clearly. Then, while you are studying, Maya makes you belong to her. Nevertheless, according to how much one studies, they will definitely go to heaven; their income will not disappear. This imperishable knowledge cannot be destroyed. They will come later; where else could they go? There is only the one shop. They will continue to come. When people go to a cremation ground, they have great distaste. They have such thoughts as: Will I have to leave this body in this way? Then, why should I commit sin? I will die just like this while continuing to sin. They have such thoughts. That is known as distaste while in a graveyard. Although they understand that they will have to take another body, they have no knowledge. Here, it is explained to you children that, at this time, you are especially preparing to die because you are only here temporarily. You have to shed your old bodies and go to the new world. The Father says: Children, the more you remember Me, the more your sins will be cut away. It is the easiest of all, and yet also the most difficult. When you children begin to make effort, you understand that there is a huge battle with Maya. The Father says: It is easy, but Maya extinguishes your lamp. There is a story about Gul Bakawali. Maya, the cat, extinguishes your lamp. Here, all are slaves of Maya. You then make Maya your slave. The whole of nature comes under your control. There will be no storms, no famine. You have to make nature your slave. There, there will be no attack from Maya. She now harasses you a great deal. There is a song: I am your slave. Then Maya says: You are my slave. The Father says: I have now come to free you from that slavery. You will become the masters and Maya will become your slave. Then, there will not be the slightest disturbance. This is also fixed in the drama. You say: Baba, Maya causes great distress. Why should she not cause you distress? This is called a battlefield. You try to make Maya your slave and Maya hits you hard. She harasses you a great deal; she defeats so many of you. She eats up some completely; she swallows them whole. Although you are becoming the masters of heaven, Maya continues to eat you. It is as though some of you are still in her stomach and just your tails are sticking out. That is also called a bog, a quicksand. So many children are in that bog. They are not able to have the slightest remembrance. There are the examples of the tortoise and the buzzing moth. You can buzz the knowledge to such insects and make them into something else, into complete angels of heaven (swarg ke parizaade) from what they are. Although sannyasis also give the example of the buzzing moth, they don't buzz knowledge and transform anyone. This transformation takes place at the confluence age. This is now the confluence age in which you become Brahmins from shudras. Therefore, you bring vicious human beings here. Among those insects too, some change into buzzing moths, some decay and some remain incomplete. Baba has seen many like that. Here, too, when some study very well they develop wings of knowledge whereas Maya catches hold of others half way and so they remain weak. These examples relate to the present time. It is a wonder how a buzzing moth brings an insect and makes it similar to itself. That is the only insect that can make others similar to itself. The other example given is that of the snake. In the golden age you shed one skin and take another; you instantly have a vision that you will now leave that body. The soul leaves and goes and sits in the palace of another womb. There is also the example of a soul in the palace of a womb who did not want to come out. However, the baby definitely has to come out. You children are now at the confluence age. You are becoming elevated through this knowledge. You have been performing devotion for birth after birth. Those who have done the most devotion will come and claim a status, numberwise, according to their efforts. The entire knowledge is now in your intellects. The knowledge of the scriptures is not really knowledge. That is the path of devotion; you cannot receive salvation through that. To receive salvation means to return home. No one returns home through that. The Father Himself says: No one attains Me through that. Along with the One who teaches you, you also need the One who can take you back with Him. The Father has so much concern. The Father only comes once every 5000 years to teach you. You repeatedly forget that you are a soul. Make it very firm that the Father of all souls has come to teach you. This is called spiritual knowledge. The Supreme Spirit gives us spirits knowledge. Sanskars also remain within the soul whereas the body is destroyed. Souls are imperishable. The forehead of Brahma is the court of the Satguru. This is the court of this soul. Then the Satguru also enters this one. This one is called the chariot as well as the court. You children are opening the gates of heaven on the basis of shrimat. The better you study, the higher the status you will claim in the golden age. Therefore, you should study. The children of a teacher would be very clever. However, it is said that those who have the Ganges flowing by their home do not have regard for it. Baba has seen how the rubbish of the whole city is dumped into the Ganges. So, then, would you call it the Purifier? Just look what the intellects of human beings have become! They decorate the deity idols. They worship them and then sink them. They also sink a Krishna idol and that too with great disrespect. In Bengal, they hold the idol down with their feet in order to sink it. There used to be a custom in Bengal that when someone was about to leave his body, he would quickly be taken to the Ganges. There, he would be placed in the water and told to say "Hari, Hari" (to chant the name of God), as they continued to pour the water of the Ganges down his throat. In that way they would force the life out of his body. It was a wonder! You children now have the full knowledge of ascending and descending (chadhhaai aur utraai) in your intellects, numberwise, according to the efforts you make. 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.
