Crop Circle at Stanton St Bernard, near Alton Barnes, Wiltshire UK Reported 29th June 2012

A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat, barley, rye, maize, or rapeseed. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations because they are not always circular in shape.The scientific consensus is that most or all crop circles are man-made, with a few possible exceptions due to meteorological or other natural phenomena.

Think First
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Whatever I do, when all is said and done, I do for or to myself. Perhaps I should think before I perform actions because after the seed of action is sown I have to reap the fruit. Moreover, I do not receive only one fruit for every seed sown, I often get a whole crop, good or bad according to the action or seed.

A Kinder Gentler Approach

Trying to change or influence other people can be a thankless,
exhausting task - after all, few of us like to be told by others what
we should do. With a sense of humility and an open heart, however, we
can find the best way to connect with others. So, if you would like
others to adopt a kinder, gentler approach towards you - in the hope
that this will take some of the stress out of your life - adopt a
kinder, gentler approach to others. If you are just talking about
things they fall apart. The best way for people to learn is through
example.

The Negative Shade Of Respect In Relationships

Many a times in offices, we find the dominating boss who wants everyone in the office to fear him or her. The boss may not necessarily be a person with a negative personality, but this desire exists inside the boss because he or she holds a negative belief that people fearing him is the same as respecting him and respect is something that any boss would naturally yearn for. This can happen in homes also, with a dominating father or a dominating mother doing the same with the other members of the family.

The main reason why this happens is because the boss or the father or the mother is normally lacking in self-respect, although he or she is unaware of it. Due to this, he or she, without realizing again, is looking for it from others and in fact over a period of time, as the need builds up or increases, he or she will start demanding the same from others, which takes a form of the negative energy of fear in the relationship. The boss or the father or the mother starts feeling that the sign that he or she is successful in achieving in getting the respect he or she wants, would be the other fearing him or her. Simply getting someone's attention or the other being in awe of him or her or the other being under his or her negative influence which are all subtle forms of fear is then mistaken for being respected, and if he or she does not receive respect in this incorrect manner, he or she will even try and bring about the creation of respect in the other and try and pull it from the other using various methods which are violent in a subtle way, harming the relationship in a big way.

In tomorrow's message, we shall look at this type of relationship from the other's i.e. the employee's perspective or the perspective of the other people in the family in the case of the father or mother.

Self Responsibility

There are certain laws which are involved in our actions and interactions. They are not human laws requiring lawyers to interpret or the police to put into action. They are natural laws which are constantly operating in every relationship. They are often called the Laws of Karma (action): briefly described by the saying - As you sow, so you shall reap, described by Isaac Newton as the Third Law of Motion i.e. for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The Laws of Karma remind us that whatever quality of energy we give out, we get back. This might not be exactly tit for tat, but if we give happiness to someone, it will come back to us; if we give pain or sorrow, it will come back, perhaps not today or tomorrow, but at some time in the future.

Most of us are conditioned by the idea that we are responsible for some of our actions, but not all of them. For example, we would consider ourselves responsible for the actions which improved our company’s business but would not consider ourselves responsible for not being on good terms with our spouse. If, as parents, we worked hard in educating our children and they grew up to become well placed and successful individuals in their lives, we would consider ourselves responsible. If on the other hand they don’t make it to the top and are not so successful, we will blame our children for not putting enough effort or maybe the education system for the same. So we are selective in taking responsibility for our actions.

Through spirituality, we are reminded of the unchangeable laws of cause and effect, which awakens our awareness of our true responsibility for each and every action that we perform.

(To be continued tomorrow …)

Message for the day
True progress brings progress in others as much as for the self.

Projection: It is usually believed that self-progress and progress of others are totally separate. It is believed that where there is thought for the progress of the self, there is selfishness and there is no benefit for those around. In fact, selfishness in an extreme form can also have a negative influence on those around.

Solution: In whatever we do we have to check and see if there is any benefit for others along with whatever benefit we are getting. If there isn't we can check to see if there is a better way of doing what we are doing which could have a positive influence on at least one person. Then we will find ourselves benefitting doubly. We will get the blessings from others along with the personal benefit we get.

Essence of Murli August 25, 2014

Essence of Murli August 25, 2014:

Essence: Sweet children, your eternal relationship is of brothers. You are brothers and sisters in the corporeal form and this is why you can never have criminal vision.

Question: Who become the victorious eight jewels? What is their value?

Answer: Those who don't have any criminal thoughts in their minds, those whose eyes are completely civil are the ones who become the special eight jewels; they attain their karmateet stage. Their value is so high that when anyone experiences bad omens (grahchaari) , they are made to wear a ring of eight jewels. (asht ratn ki angoothi) They believe that their omens will be removed by wearing that ring. Those who become the eight jewels constantly stay in the awareness of being brothers because they have far-sighted (dooraadeshi) intellects.

Essence for dharna:

1.      In order to become a favourite of the Father (man pasand) , become virtuous. Imbibe virtues well and become a flower. Remove defects. Never prick anyone like a thorn does.

2.      In order to pass fully and to claim a scholarship, create such a stage that you don't remember anything. Let your eyes become completely civil. Let there constantly be the omens of Jupiter (Brahaspati) over you.

Blessing: May you claim full marks with the virtue of maturity and become a deity of maturity.(gambheerta ki devi)

At present, there is a great need for the virtue of maturity because the habit of speaking a lot has increased and people say whatever enters their minds. When someone carries out a good act and then speaks about it, its value is halved and only half is accumulated. Those who are mature accumulate fully and this is why we have to become deities of maturity and accumulate full marks. By speaking about something, our marks are reduced.

Baba says, speak less, speak softly, speak sweetly...(kam bolo, dheere bolo, meetha bolo)... Remembering Dadi Prakashmaniji today...her favorite slogan was, become an instrument, be humble and speak with purity...(nimitt bano, nirmaan bano, nirmal bolo)...think before you think... think before you speak...we are world benefactors...think whether whatever you are about to say helps in bringing about upliftment in others, or transformation in others, or aids in world benefit...if not, do not say it... speak only as much is necessary, and consider the rest as waste...if, after performing good actions in the tasks you are nominated for, you brag about them, then , Baba says, you accumulate only half of whatever you would have accumulated had you remained incognito.

Slogan: Remain stable in the point form (bindoo roop) and you will be able to put a stop (bindoo) to problems in a second.

Points to churn from the slogan:

I am a point, the Father is a point and the drama is also a point....by having the awareness of the Father, the Point, and the point form of the soul, we, the powerful souls, are able to put a full stop,... with the controlling power we are able to control the self and with the power of transformation we change wrong to right... by transforming negative to positive, we become world transformers....

 

We, the very subtle points, understand that the essence of all the points, is to become a point...we stabilize our intellects in one second in a stage of a point in our thoughts, and by having the awareness of the slogans “nothing new” and “everything that happens is beneficial”, “whatever happened, whatever is happening, and whatever is to happen will be good”, with our words and actions, we let the bygones be bygone...by understanding the reasons for our shortcomings and weaknesses we resolve them... we end the queue of questions of “why, what, when, where, how” and become powerful...we apply a powerful brake to waste thoughts, and finish the force of their flow by putting a full-stop...

Om shanti.

You spiritual children know what your name is. You are called Brahmins. There are so many Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. This proves that you are adopted children. Because you are all children of the one Father, you are definitely adopted. Only you Brahma Kumars and Kumaris are adopted children.

There are many children. One type are the children of Prajapita Brahma and the other type are the children of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, Shiva, and so they definitely have a connection between themselves. That One has spiritual children and this one has physical children. If they are that One's children, they are like brothers. The children of Prajapita Brahma become corporeal brothers and sisters.

Brother and sister never have a criminal relationship. They say of you that you make everyone into brothers and sisters through which there is a pure relationship and there isn't criminal vision. By your having this vision for just this one birth, there won't be criminal vision in the future. It isn't that you consider yourselves to be brothers and sisters there. There, you are like emperors and empresses. You children now know that you are at the most auspicious confluence age and that all of you are brothers and sisters.

There is the name, “Prajapita Brahma”. The world doesn't know when Prajapita Brahma existed. You are sitting here and you know that you are the auspicious confluence-aged BKs. This would not be called a religion. This is a clan that is being established. You belong to the Brahmin clan. You can say that you Brahma Kumars and Kumaris are definitely the children of Prajapita Brahma. This is something new. You can say that you are BKs. In fact, all of us are brothers, children of the one Father. So, you would not say that you are adopted by Him. We souls are His children eternally. The Supreme Father is the Supreme Soul. The word "Supreme" cannot be given to anyone else. Only the One who is completely pure can be called the Supreme.

You would not say that everyone has purity. You learn purity at this confluence age. You are residents of the most auspicious confluence age, just as you speak of the residents of the iron age and the residents of the golden age. Many people know about the golden and iron ages. If someone has a far-sighted intellect, he can understand that in between the iron age and the golden age, there is the confluence age.

In the scriptures, they have spoken of God coming in every age. The Father says: I do not come in every age. It should remain in your intellects that you are the most auspicious confluence-aged Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. We are neither in the golden age nor in the iron age. After the confluence age, the golden age definitely has to come. You are now making effort to go to the golden age.

No one can go there without purity. At this time, you are making effort to become pure. Not everyone is pure. There are many who are impure. Whilst moving along they fall, and then they secretly go and drink nectar. In fact, those who renounce nectar and drink poison are not allowed to come here for some time. However, it is also remembered: When nectar was being distributed, vicious devils used to go and sit there secretly.

It is said: When such impure ones come and sit in such a gathering of Indra, they are cursed. There is also the story of an angel who brought a vicious person into the gathering. What did her condition become? Those who are vicious will definitely fall. This is a matter of understanding. Those who are vicious cannot ascend. It is said that he (the vicious person) was then turned to stone. It isn't that human beings become stones or trees. They become those with stone intellects. They come here to become those with divine intellects, but when they secretly drink poison, it means that they will remain those with stone intellects. This is explained personally, whereas it is just written in the scriptures for people to read about. They have called that “The Court of Indra”, and they have shown a variety of angels there.

Jewels are also numberwise. Some are very good jewels and others less so. The value of some is less, whereas some have a lot of value. They make many rings of the nine jewels. They advertise these, even though they are just called jewels. You are sitting here, but, amongst you too, it is said: This one is a diamond, this one is an emerald, this one is a ruby, a topaz. There is the difference of day and night. There is a lot of difference in their value too.

In the same way, you are also compared to flowers. There is variety amongst flowers too. You children know who the flowers are. The Brahmin teachers who come as guides are very good flowers. Some students are much cleverer in explaining. Baba would not give a flower to the teacher but to the student.

Many qualities of some students are better than those who are teaching. They don't have any vices. Some have defects such as the evil spirits of anger and greed. (krodh ka bhoot, lobh ka bhoot) The Father knows that that one is a favourite guide and that this one is a second number guide. Some guides are not such favourites as the students. Those whom they bring are the favourites. It does happen that those who teach are caught in the claws (chambe) of Maya and go into vice. There are also many who remove many others from the quicksand (duban) but who become trapped in it themselves. Maya is very powerful.

 You children understand that the criminal eye is very deceitful. Whilst there is the criminal eye, you are unable to follow the direction to be brother and sister. The civil eye changes into the criminal eye. When the eye stops being criminal and you develop a strong civil eye, that is called the karmateet stage. You have to check yourself to this extent. Whilst living together, there should be no vision of vice.

Here, you become brothers and sisters and there is the sword of knowledge in between. You have to make a firm promise to remain pure. (pavitrta ki pakki pratigya) However, some write: Baba, there is an attraction. We haven't yet made that stage firm. We continue to make effort so that that doesn't happen. Only when our eyes become completely civil can we gain victory. Your stage has to be such that no vicious thoughts arise. This is called the karmateet stage. This is the destination.

Such a wonderful rosary is created. There is the rosary too of eight jewels. There are many children. The sun and moon dynasty clans are being established here. Out of all of them, there are only eight jewels who pass fully and claim the scholarship. They place Shiva, the Diamond who made them into such jewels, in between. When people experience bad omens, they wear a ring of eight jewels.

At this time, there are the omens of Rahu over Bharat. At first, there were the omens of the Lord of the Tree (Vrikshpati), that is, the omens of Jupiter (Bhraspati). You were golden-aged deities who ruled the world. Then there were the omens of Rahu. You now know that you had the omens of Jupiter. His name is the Lord of the Tree. In brief, He is called Jupiter. We truly had the omens of Jupiter when we were the masters of the world, whereas there are now the omens of Rahu and we have become like shells. Each one of you can understand this. There is no question of asking about it. People ask their gurus if they will pass a particular examination. Here, too, some ask Baba: Will I pass? Baba says: If you continue to move along making such effort, why would you not pass !  However, Maya is very powerful; she brings storms. At this time, you would be moving along well, but what if many storms come as you move along? You are now on a battlefield, so how can I give a guarantee?

Previously, a rosary used to be created. Those who were placed as number two or three are no longer here; they have become complete thorns. The Father said: A rosary of Brahmins cannot be created. You are on a battlefield. Today, someone is a Brahmin and tomorrow, he or she would become a shudra. When they indulge in vice, they become shudras and there are the omens of Rahu. You used to make effort for the omens of Jupiter, and the Lord of the Tree was teaching you. As you were moving along, you were slapped by Maya and there were the omens of Rahu. Some become traitors.

This happens everywhere. They leave one country and go to another country to seek refuge there. Then, those people also see that they are of use to them and so they give them refuge. Many become such traitors; they take an aeroplane and go to another country. They then return the aeroplane and give refuge to that person. They don't give refuge to the aeroplane because that is the property of the other government. They return that which doesn’t belong to them, but they do give refuge to the people who have come to them.

You children have now come to seek refuge with the Father. You say: Maintain my honour! Draupadi called out: They are stripping me! Save me from becoming impure! No one in the golden age ever becomes impure. That is called the completely viceless world. Little children are viceless anyway; they remain completely viceless whilst living at home. Although husband and wife live together, they remain viceless.

This is why you say: We are changing into Narayan from an ordinary man and into Lakshmi from an ordinary woman. That is the viceless world. Ravan doesn't exist there. That is called the kingdom of Rama. Shiv Baba is called Rama. To chant the name of Rama means to remember the Father. When people chant “Rama, Rama”, they only have the incorporeal One in their intellects. They say: “Rama! Rama!” and leave out Sita. They also take the name of Krishna and leave out Radhe.

Here, there is just the one Father and He says: Constantly remember Me alone. Krishna cannot be called the Purifier. In childhood, Radhe and Krishna were not brother and sister; they belonged to separate kingdoms. Little children are always pure anyway. Baba also says: Little children are flowers. They don't have any vision of vice. As they grow older, their vision is drawn to vice. This is why a child and a great soul (mahatma) are considered to be equal. In fact, a child is even higher than a mahatma. A mahatma knows that he has been born through vice. Little children are not aware of that. As soon as a child belongs to the Father, he has an inheritance. 

You become the masters of the kingdom of the world. It is a matter of yesterday when you were the masters of the world. You are now becoming that again. You receive so much attainment. So what is the big deal if husband and wife become brother and sister and remain pure? Some effort is required. Yes, you now receive the omens of Jupiter, numberwise, according to the effort you make.

You do go to heaven, but, by studying, some claim a high status, some claim a medium status. Some become flowers and others become something else. This is a garden. So you also claim a status accordingly. You have to make a lot of effort to become such flowers. This is why Baba brings flowers to show you children. There are many types of flowers in a garden. The golden age is a garden of flowers whereas this is a jungle of thorns. You are now making effort to change from thorns into flowers. You are making effort to save yourselves from pricking one another like thorns. To the extent that someone makes effort, accordingly, he will become victorious.

The main thing is that you become conquerors of the world by conquering lust. This depends on you children. Young ones have to make a lot of effort, whereas the older ones have to make less effort. Those who are in the stage of retirement have to make even less effort. Little children too have to make even less effort. You know that you are receiving the property of the sovereignty of the world. So, what does it matter if you remain pure for one birth to receive that? Such ones are called celibate ones (brahmchaari) who remain pure from birth till the end. Those who have become pure are attracted to the Father.

Children can be saved if they continue to receive knowledge from childhood. Little children are ignorant (abodh) , but when they go outside to school etc., they are coloured by the company (sang ka rang) they keep. It is said: Good company takes you across and bad company drowns you. (sang tare kusang duboye)The Father says: I am taking you across (paar) to Shivalaya. The golden age is the completely new world. Very few people will be there and then growth will take place. Very few deities reside there. So you have to make effort to go to the new world. 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 25, 2014: Strength

Strength

If things are not turning out right, even when you feel you are doing all the right things, then just consider it a way to make you strong.

Be inspired

With all the stresses and strains of modern life, and the feelings of
inadequacy and cynicism these can generate, it is easy to forget the
good things of which human beings are capable, such as friendship,
charity, and selflessness, and to forget how resilient we can be.
People's hearts have become so hard they are not able to feel. Human
beings have become so sensitive and delicate they are not able to
tolerate the slightest thing. But this is not what human beings should
be. Human beings are so clever, they can make the impossible
possible. If someone does something with insight and faith and trust,
it is going to work out. Be inspired by others and remember that all
human beings are capable of great things - including you.

Self Esteem

Self-esteem comes when I really value myself: When I place value on myself, then others, too, will value me. When I don't value myself, how can I expect others to value me? If I continuously put myself down, saying * I'm no good or * I am not capable, other people who hear this will start believing it. So what do I do? The key word is 'consciousness'. As I start to make my consciousness positive by creating positive thoughts many times in the day about myself like * I am the most fortunate soul in the universe or * I am a victorious soul, I cannot experience failure in any step in life or * I am a self sovereign soul, ruler of my sense organs or * I am a destroyer of obstacles or* I am a spiritual rose flower who spreads the fragrance of divine qualities orsimilar thoughts, I become spiritually alert, then I am in a position to start valuing my life and as I start valuing myself, I develop self-confidence. The effect of this is that I start valuing others, understanding that everyone has their own position: not higher or lower, just different. Each one's uniqueness has its value.

Soul Sustenance

Consciousness

There are two different basic levels of consciousness; * I am a body (which is illusory (false)) or * I am a soul, (which is real). When the feeling is * I am a body, the thought process is trapped in the limitations, problems and vision of the physical identity. Its reaction to others is on the same level.

Given below is an awareness-thought-decision-action-result cycle in the case of a typical father-son relationship. You will notice the difference consciousness can make to the cycle.

Awareness
Body Consciousness: I am the father. I know the most.
Soul Consciousness: I am a soul. My natural state is love and peace.

Thought
Body Consciousness: My son should listen to me as he is my own flesh and blood.
Soul Consciousness: My son is a soul too. As a soul he is my brother.

Decision
Body Consciousness: I will teach him a lesson.
Soul Consciousness: I will respect his idea also.

Action
Body Consciousness: Father argues with son.
Soul Consciousness: Father and son discuss with respect.

Result
Body Consciousness: Ill feeling between father and son.
Soul Consciousness: Respect maintained.

Message for the day

Patience brings harmony in relationships.

Projection: When there is a misunderstanding in a relationship we hardly put in any effort in order to understand the other person. We tend to become impatient and we don't listen to the other person to understand them. Because of which we start inventing things about them. This only further increases the misunderstanding.

Solution: When we have a difference of opinion with someone, we need to give some time to understand and listen to the other person. Only then will we be able to understand the other person's point of view. This practice will enable us to finish any misunderstanding we have with others and brings harmony in relationships.

Essence of Murli : August 24, 2014 (December 07, 1978)

Synopsis: December 07, 1978

Signs of becoming as perfect as the Father.

Baap samaan sampoorn banneke chinh

To be able to stabilize in your original, eternal, incorporeal form as soon as you have that thought is known as having the stage of perfection, equal to the Father, the final karmateet stage.

Practice: stabilize in your three worlds or three stages: the incorporeal, angelic and corporeal (niraakaari, aakaari, saakaari) with your power of awareness(smriti ki samarthi) and have  equality in the experience of the eternal stage (anaadi) one moment and the original stage (adi) the next.

 Close Relationship:

The closeness of your perfect stage now, that is, your closeness to BapDada now, is the basis of your closeness throughout the whole cycle. The closer you come to the Father, the closer you will become in claiming a right to the kingdom in the future as your reward. As well as that, in your first life as a devotee, you will be in close relationship.(sameep sambandh) In both lives, worthy of being worshipped and worshipper, (pujya aur pujaari) you will be close (sameep) to the corporeal father. This means that, throughout the whole cycle, you will be closely related (sambandh sampark) to the first soul. You souls will also play special parts in different names and forms with the hero actor.

Brahma Baba's first speciality was of being a destroyer of attachment. (nashtomoha) On the basis of this, he also became an embodiment of constant remembrance. (smriti swaroop) Through this speciality, you will become a soul who is very close. This is why souls who are close experience all attainments very easily. The main sign of a soul who is close is that he would not experience anything to be difficult from the beginning to the end.

 

The basis of your closeness is your greatness; so check two things:

Firstly, do you constantly uplift others? (par upkaari) The meaning of being one who uplifts others is very deep. Be constantly merciful towards all souls of the world and also Brahmin souls. Those who uplift others also benefit themselves.

Secondly, have you always been celibate from alokik birth in which you have died alive until now? A celibate life means a life as pure as Brahma Baba's life. This can be called "brahmchari" (celibate) or "Brahma-achari" (following the footsteps of Brahma).

Those who remain constant also experience all attainments. To be constantly celibate means that no type of impurity in your thoughts allows your attitude (vritti), your vision (drishti) and behaviour (kriti) to cause mischief. (chanchalta). Those who have been celibate from birth are worthy of being worshipped even at the present time; even now, they are still elevated.

 

A detached observer (saakshi) and a companion.(saathi)

You constantly have the company of the Almighty Authority. When you have His company, success is already guaranteed. If you experience being a companion, then you would also experience being a detached observer. Because you have the Father's company, and since He plays His part as the detached Observer, then because you are a companion of His, you will also play your part as a detached observer. He is the eternal Companion and no other companion can constantly reach you at a time of need. BapDada can always reach you within a second. This company lasts for birth after birth. Shiv Baba will become the detached Observer and Father Brahma will become a companion of yours. At present, both are your companions.

 

 

Blessing:   May you be a conqueror of Maya who experiences safety by having zeal and enthusiasm (umang aur utsaah) for service.

For the children who run for and remain ever ready for physical as well as spiritual service, this zeal and enthusiasm for service becomes a means of safety. Those who remain engaged in service are protected from Maya. Maya also sees that you don't have time for her and so she goes away. Children who have love for the Father and service receive the help of extra courage due to which they easily become conquerors of Maya.

Slogan:      Make knowledge and yoga the nature of your life and any old nature will be transformed.

24/08/14    Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti         07/12/78

Signs of becoming as perfect as the Father.

Baap samaan sampoorn banneke chinh

Are you easily and constantly able to use your power of awareness(smriti ki samarthi) to stabilise in your three worlds or three stages: the incorporeal, angelic and corporeal? (niraakaari, aakaari, saakaari) Do you experience it to be just as easy to stabilize in your eternal incorporeal stage as you do in your original corporeal stage? Is there equality in the experience of the eternal stage (anaadi) one moment and the original stage (adi) the next when you use your power of awareness? Do you experience that? Just as you experience it to be very natural to stabilize in your corporeal form, so it should be just as natural to stabilize in your original, eternal, incorporeal form. To be able to stabilize in that form as soon as you have that thought is known as having the stage of perfection, equal to the Father, the final karmateet stage.

So, ask yourself: How close have I come to my final stage? The closer you come to your perfect stage, that is, the closer you come to the Father, the closer you will become in claiming a right to the kingdom in the future as your reward. As well as that, in your first life as a devotee, you will be in close relationship.(sameep sambandh) In both lives, worthy of being worshipped and worshipper, (pujya aur pujaari) you will be close (sameep) to the corporeal father. This means that, throughout the whole cycle, you will be closely related (sambandh sampark) to the first soul. You souls will also play special parts in different names and forms with the hero actor.

The closeness of your perfect stage now, that is, your closeness to BapDada now, is the basis of your closeness throughout the whole cycle. This is why you can create as much reward for yourself for the whole cycle as you want. The basis of your closeness is your greatness; and, with regard to your greatness, you especially have to check two things in your birth in which you have died alive.

Firstly, do you constantly uplift others? (par upkaari) Secondly, have you always been celibate from birth, from the beginning until now? From the beginning of your dying alive birth, that is, from your childhood, to now, have you always been celibate? A celibate life means a life as pure as Brahma Baba's life. This can be called "brahmchari" (celibate) or "Brahma-achari" (following the footsteps of Brahma). Have you been constant in this from the beginning until the end? (adi se ant tak akhand) If you have repeatedly broken this discipline, (khandit) you cannot then be called a constantly celibate soul or a "Brahma-achari". If you break the discipline of purity and cleanliness, you cannot then become supremely worthy of worship. Because of not being equal to the Father, you are not able to come into a close relationship with him. This is why the basis of becoming elevated and the basis of being close is to be celibate from birth, that is, to be a constant "Brahmachari". This is called following the father.

So, check yourself to see whether you are constant. Those who remain constant also experience all attainments. Any attainments of an effort-maker who constantly breaks this practice would be short lived. So, check your register to see whether it is always clean and pure or whether you have spoilt your register by staining it in some way. To be constantly celibate means that no type of impurity in your thoughts allows your attitude to cause mischief. The first defeat is the mischief of attitude,(vritti) and then there is mischief of your vision (drishti)and behaviour (kriti) The mischief (chanchalta) of your attitude spoils your register with many stains. Therefore, be constantly celibate even in your attitude.

Today, BapDada was examining this register of the children to see which children are constantly celibate and which children are just celibate. Importance is given to those who have been celibate from birth. Those who have been celibate from birth are worthy of being worshipped even at the present time; even now, they are still elevated. BapDada sees such children as the children who are worthy of being worshipped.

Even now, at the end, you will be revealed to the world as souls who are worthy of being worshipped. Those who are seen by the Father as souls who are worthy of being worshipped will constantly have a close relationship with the father. So, examine your register in this way. Secondly, the meaning of being one who uplifts others is also very deep. You must think about this meaning yourself. Are you constantly merciful towards all souls of the world and also Brahmin souls, or are you sometimes only merciful towards yourself in only bringing benefit to yourself alone, and only sometimes uplifting others? In fact, those who uplift others also benefit themselves. So, examine your register while keeping this aspect in your mind. Later, BapDada will tell you more. Do you understand? Achcha.

To those who easily stabilise in their eternal and original form, to the souls who are worthy of being worshipped by remaining constantly clean and clear, to the souls who have a close relationship with the father throughout the entire cycle, to the children who are constantly celibate, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

The spiritual children says namaste to the spiritual Father.

BapDada meeting the teachers:

Teachers are given a special lift because a teacher's duty is to show all souls the right path (maarg darshan) . So, you are those who remain merged in the love of One day and night. You are those who remember the One and remain engaged in the one task, and are thereby able to have a constant and stable stage. By remaining absorbed in the love of One, you are easily able to experience reaching your destination. There is just the One, and so the path has become easy, has it not? You put the switch on and reach your destination within a second. You become an embodiment of whatever you think about at that moment - this is your lift. When teachers see their own fortune, they should constantly sing praise of the Father. "Wah Baba! Wah drama!" Let this song be constantly playing. When you have this happiness, whether there is some bondage of your body, or bondage of your mind, it will feel as though it is nothing. When you remain constantly busy, Maya will not be able to attack you in any way. Maya will be defeated; (haar) she will be unable to attack you.(vaar)

For close souls, making effort becomes a means of entertainment.(manoranjan)

Brahma Baba's first speciality was of being a destroyer of attachment. (nashtomoha) On the basis of this, he also became an embodiment of constant remembrance. (smriti swaroop) Are you following the father in the same way? Through this speciality, you will become a soul who is very close. You yourself will become a conqueror of attachment to the self and others; this is why souls who are close experience all attainments very easily. They will also experience effort to be like a game and not anything difficult. To make effort is also a form of entertainment. If, on the one hand, you were to think of something in an ordinary way, and, on the other hand, think of it as entertainment, there would be a difference. So, souls who are close would experience effort to be a form of entertainment. The main sign of a soul who is close is that he would not experience anything to be difficult from the beginning to the end.

The basis of success is to experience being a detached observer (saakshi) and a companion.(saathi)

Do you constantly move along whilst considering yourself to be a companion of the Father? If you experience being a companion, then you would also experience being a detached observer. Because you have the Father's company, and since He plays His part as the detached Observer, then because you are a companion of His, you will also play your part as a detached observer. So, do you experience both these things? You are not alone, but you constantly have the company of the Almighty Authority. When you have His company, success is already guaranteed. On the path of devotion too, devotees call out: Give us the experience of Your company for a short time; give us a glimpse of Yourself! However, what is happening now? You have become His companion in all relationships. A glimpse or a vision is just for a short time, whereas a relationship is for all time. So, now, do you have a close relationship with the Father, or are you still a seeker? When you don't have any attainment, you have the feeling of seeking. You are no longer a seeker, but one who has all rights. You have His company at every second. Because of having a close relationship with Him, you are close to Him at every second. Everyone looks for a companion in his or her life. People spend their lives with the support of their companions. What type of companion have you now found? The eternal Companion! No other companion can constantly reach you at a time of need. BapDada can always reach you within a second. This company lasts for birth after birth. In the future too, you will have the father's company, will you not? Shiv Baba will become the detached Observer and Father Brahma will become a companion of yours. At present, both are your companions. Those who experience this remain constantly happy. When you have attained whatever you were searching for, you would be very happy, would you not? You have attained everything. However, you now have to make yourself equal to the Father. It is numberwise in this.

Why does BapDada especially give the Shakti Army the co-operation of the stage of ascent? Because everyone has been putting the Shaktis and mothers down. Now, the Father comes and uplifts you. He even puts the Shaktis ahead of Himself. Therefore, Shaktis should have special happiness. The faces of you Shaktis should be constantly sparkling because the Father has especially put you at the front. The sparkle of those who have even some temporary attainment is visible on their faces. This is such a huge attainment! Do you mothers ever cry? Do you sometimes have tears in your eyes? You now have spirituality in your eyes, and where there is spirituality, there can be no tears. Do the Pandavas cry physically or in their minds? When you are those who merge into the Ocean of Happiness, how can you cry? Crying is an indication of sorrow. So, how can those who are merged in the Ocean of Happiness cry? There should be no wave of sorrow even in your dreams. Even your dreams should be of happiness because you now have a close relationship with the Ocean of Happiness. So, constantly remain merged in happiness and joy and don't ever cry. Will your subjects in the golden age cry? So, why should someone who is to become a king in the future cry? Shaktis are a sample. If the sample cries, how could you make any other deals? Therefore, never cry; neither physically nor in your mind. Understand?
