Avyakt BapDada 19th June 1969

Are all of you stable in the avyakt stage whilst in the corporeal form?

What do you call the avyakt stage? What is the longest amount of time you should spend in this stage? According to the complete stage, even eight hours a day is insufficient. All of you are making effort, you have the enthusiasm, and you have the aim. Why are you not able to remain introverted when you want to? Why do you become extroverted? All of you have become enlightened souls. Whilst being clever, enlightened souls, why do you become senseless? You have received understanding. Why are you still senseless? The main reason is that some of you become careless, and this can also be called laziness. The sweet form of laziness is lethargy. There are many forms of laziness. The majority of you have laziness or carelessness in one form or another. There is the desire and also the effort to do it, but because there is carelessness, you are not able to make the kind of effort that you should be making. When there is greater knowledge in the intellect, there is greater carelessness because of it. Those who consider themselves to be less clever are making intense effort, those who consider themselves to be very clever become more careless. You have become content with yourself. Just as when the ones in bondage are desperate, they make intense effort, there should be that compulsion and enthusiasm in your effort. However those who are not in bondage become content and so also become careless. Always think that you are becoming a number one effort maker, not that you have become that.

You are making sweet effort in the form of a child. However this slack and sweet effort will not do any more. The more you remain stable in the form of a shakti, the more powerful your effort will be. At present your effort is not powerful, it is slack. In order to fill your effort with power, you must keep a point in front of you in the morning. Retain one or another point in the intellect. Because there is very little time, you now have to make special effort. The days of making ordinary effort have now passed. Much more difficult exams are yet tto come. If the effort is ordinary and the exams are difficult, what will the result be? Achcha.

Today Baba is meeting the brothers. Today the brothers have specially been put in front. The sisters have been asked to come back later, because whenever a meeting is to take place, the sisters quickly come running whereas the brothers remain watching. The brothers have been given a responsibility also. You have been given the crown of responsibility, but sometimes you knowingly take it off, and sometimes Maya takes it off. In satyug the crowns are so light that you cannot even tell there is a weight on your head. Do the scenes of satyug come in front of you by themselves, or do you make them emerge? As you progress further, the scenes of satyug will come in front of you even when you do not have the conscious wish that they should come. There will be no need to make them emerge. As you come closer, the scenes will also come closer. You have to go into satyug and play there. This is fixed. What is the sign at the confluence age of those who are going to become close to Krishna? Those who are close in the service of the yagya, or in BapDada’s task, will be close to him in playing etc. The closer you are in the responsibility of the yagya and in the responsibility of BapDada’s task, the closer you will be there. How can you recognise yourself as being close? Each one of you should ask yourself: are you giving your intellect, mind, body, wealth and time here to the same extent as you are to your lokik responsibilities? You should give more here. If not greater, is the weight equal? If both sides are equal, you will still be considered to be close. Recognise yourself through this account. It doesn’t matter if there is less on that side, but it shouldn’t be less on this side. Then you will be able to fulfil the lokik responsibilities accurately also.

Your relationships are also visible through your activities for God. BapDada has special hopes in the brothers that only the brothers can fulfil. The sisters cannot do that. What are these hopes? There are many types of people and many types of test that come and will come from time to time. So the main task of the pandavs is to discern the people and the tests: this is the task of the brothers. The main task of the pandavs is to look after the shaktis. The task of the shaktis is to shoot the arrow, but it is the task of the pandavs to discern the people and the tests and to protect the shaktis. Can you take on such a responsibility? In some cases it has been seen that the pandavs seek protection from others. But the pandavs have to protect in all four directions as well as protecting themselves. Your vision should be on the unlimited, not on the limited. If you are not able to protect yourself, it will be difficult to protect others. Achcha.
