Avyakt BapDada 17th November 1969
Why have you come to this Bhatthi? In order to practice remaining bodiless whilst being in the body. You should have this stage from the moment that you put you foot here.
BapDada calls each one of you to do something new. The half-kumars have been called here especially to make them come down the wrong ladder of the household that they have set up. And having climbed down the wrong ladder, what do you have to climb? From the earth to the sky, and then from the sky to the earth. You have been called here to make you ignorant of the little knowledge that still remains of the wrong ladder, and to give you the recognition of the true knowledge, and to make you the embodiment of knowledge. First you have to come down and then you have to climb up. Not until you have completely come down are you able to climb up. Are you ready to make yourself come down in all respects? You have to come down such a big ladder. How tall is the wrong ladder? Are you still coming down? When you have descended it completely, you will not take long to climb up. However, whilst coming down, you stop somewhere or the other. So now do you understand why you have been called here? You must completely come down the wrong ladder you have been climbing up for sixty-three births. Then you also have to climb up. Is it easy to come down or to go up? Is it easy to come down, or is even coming down difficult? Is the effort you are making at present the effort to come down and then go up, or is it just to go up? You are finishing something and you are creating something.
Do you know which is the last rung you have to come down? To renounce the awareness of your body. When you remove the clothes from your body, you remove them so easily. In the same way you should be able to remove the costume of this body easily, and also be able to adopt it easily at the right time. Some of you still have to learn this practice fully. Why are some of you not able to break your body consciousness. Those who have tight clothes are not able to take them off. This is the same. If this costume, which is the body, is stuck to any sanskar, that is if it is tight, it does not come off. Otherwise it is easy to come down and to go up. That is, to shed the costume and to put it on again is very easy, just as it is easy to take off and put on physical clothes. You have to see which sanskar the costume of the body is attached to. When you become detahced from all sanskars your stage will become unique. This is why BapDada explains many times: “remain easy in everything”. When you remain easy in everything, all tasks become easy. When you make yourself tight, there is tightness in the task also. Now in this bhatthi you have to finish the tightness, and also go up in a lift. But what will you have to do in order to sit in the lift? Who can sit in a lift? The worthy children of the world are the elevated gift for the father. So, in order to go up in a lift, you have to become a gift for the father. And then you also have to give what you have as a gift. You will have to give a gift as well as becoming a gift for the Father, for only then can you sit in the lift. Do you understand? Now check if you have carried out both tasks, that is whether you have given a gift and you have become a gift. A gift is looked after very carefully. A gift is decorated and put in a showcase. Each of you must make yourself into such a gift that you receive a lift and you are also placed in front of everyone in the showcase of the world.
You half-kumars have to pay attention to two things: you have to make yourselves attractive, and also become active. In some cases there is a weakness in being active, and so in this bhatti what will you stamp yourself especially with? You heard these two words: attractive and active. If you stamp yourself with these, your activity will have changed.
You heard that to come to a bhatthi means to change both your form and your colour. When something is placed in a bhatti, all its weaknesses melt away. You have to take with you your original form and your original task. At present you continue to change your colours, but then you will be coloured with one fast colour that cannot be removed any anyone, cannot fade away, and cannot be coloured by any other colour. You have to be active in everything. You have to remain ever-ready, at any time, for service. When a task comes up, those who are active are quickly able to understand the task and attain success. Those who are not active keep on thinking about the task. They will waste their time thinking about it. They will not attain success. To be active means to be ever-ready. They will be able to recognise each task, involve themselves in it, and also attain success. They will have all three things. Those who have heaviness are not called active. those who are heavy in their effort or their sanskars are not called active. Those who are active are ever-ready and easy. When you yourself become easy, all tasks become easy. Service is not difficult, but your sanskars and your weaknesses are visible in the form of a difficulty. Effort is not difficult either. Your weaknesses make it difficult. Otherwise why do some find it easy, and others find it difficult? If it were difficult, then everyone would find it difficult.
In order to become attractive, you will also have to become cheerful. To be cheerful means to swing in supersensuous joy. You have to remain cheerful by churning knowledge. Experience the avyakt stage and swing in supersensuous joy. Remain cheerful in mind and body. Those who remain cheerful in this way attract others.
You must not be dependant on nature or Maya, but you should control both. Because you are dependant you lose your rights. You have to control them, then you will claim your rights. The more you claim your rights, the more you will receive respect from nature and people. By maintaining your right you become the one who has all rights. However, you renounce your right and you become dependant on little things. You become dependant on your own creation. Of course you have lokik children, but you become dependant on the creation of your own thoughts. Just as you become dependant on your lokik creation, in the same way you have now become dependant on the creation of your thoughts. You even become dependant on the creation of the physical senses. By being dependant, you lose your birthright. So as soon as you become a child, you become one who has all rights. People speak of the birthright of happiness, peace, and purity. Ask yourself whether you have become a child and claimed the right to purity, peace, and happiness. Stop being dependant, and claim your birthright.
You ask when your influence will spread. Why are you not able to spread your influence at present? You become impressed by many things, and so how can those who are impressed create an impression on others? If you wish to create an impression, you must not be impressed by anything.
BapDada’s love for the children is such that he decorates you and places you in a showcase in front of the world. When you become complete and are placed in a showcase, when you come in front of the world, you will be decorated so much. You must not decorate yourself with the decorations of satyug now. You have to imbibe the jewellery of virtues.
