Avyakt BapDada 28th November 1969
Today, it is the day for surrendering yourself completely. Are you ready to be surrendered completely, or do you think that you have already surrendered completely? Today it is the celebration of those who have surrendered completely. Have all of you surrendered completely. What is the vision like of those who have surrendered completely? (their vision and attitude are pure) Their vision and attitude become spiritual. When you do not see the body the vision becomes pure. When you do not even look at the non-living things with your eyes, your attitude will not be drawn towards them. Spiritual vision means to see yourself and others as spirits. Even whilst looking at the body you must not see it. For example, when someone is deep in thought, even while he is walking, eating, drinking, or whatever he is doing, he does not realise how much he has already done that. In the same way you will not see the body even whilst looking at it. And then your stage will become such that when anyone asks you what was so and so like, you will not know. Your stage will be like that, but only when you transform lokik things that you see into their spiritual form. To transform yourself, you will have to change your way of seeing lokik things and lokik relations. You will have to have a spiritual awareness of lokik things. When you look at lokik relations you must consider them to be the final generation of the children of Brahma Baba. They are part of the dynasty of Brahma. Brahma is the creator, so whether they are devotees, enlightened, or ignorant souls, they are also part of that generation, are they not? So even lokik relations are part of the dynasty of Brahma: some are in close relationship and others are in distant relationship.
It is the same when you see anything lokik, whether you are working in your office or doing your business, eating food or looking at or speaking about something, you should have a spiritual awareness about everything lokik. You have to continue to move your body, but while going towards your lokik work with the feet of the body, at the same time consider that you are moving towards your alokik land and bringing benefit through the intellect. The feet are walking here, but the intellect is engaged on the pilgrimage of remembrance. Just as you give food to the body, in the same way continue to give to the soul the food of remembrance. To transform yourself you have to change everything from lokik to alokik. Through this people will realise that you are a special alokik soul. Even whilst living amongst the lokiks, you are different from them. With the awareness of the soul, you have to consider yourself to be detached. It is easy to become detached from your duties and your work: you will not be loved by the world through that. You will be loved by the world when you perform your tasks whilst considering yourself to be a soul, detached from the body. You must not be detached just from the things of the world, you have to be detached from your body. You will be loved when you become detached from your body. You will then be loved by your own mind, by God, and by the world.
Some look at themselves and also look at the things of the world outside. They first change those other things, and then change themselves. This is why there is no impact. To create an impact, you first have to transform yourself. You have to transform your vision, attitude and consciousness, as well as the way you use your wealth and your time. Then you will be loved by the world.
All of you have to surrender completely: you have to renounce the power of Maya. You must not become strong with the power of Maya, but you must become strong with Godly power. What are the teachings for your thoughts, words, and actions, through which there is complete surrender? First renounce your body and bodily relations, and remember Me alone. This is for your thoughts. For your words, every second let only jewels of knowledge emerge from your mouth, and never stones. For your actions, remember that whatever actions you perform others will see you and do the same, and that those who do something receive the return of what they do. Both these aspects give power to your actions, so that those who come into connection with you receive power through you. Do you understand? If you remember these main things for your thoughts, words, and actions, then you will be able to make your surrender complete and eternal.
Whom will you live with? What will you do if your companion lets go of your finger? All of you must fulfil the responsibility of keeping company. BapDada tries to fulfil the responsibility of keeping your company in one way or another: he tries to hold onto your finger to such an extend that he gives life even to those who are on their last breath. But if some do not let BapDada give them oxygen, or if they remove the tube, what can He do? If you want BapDada’s co-operation then in fact you don’t even have to ask for it. Those who are loving automatically receive co-operation. There is no need to ask for it. As devotees you have been asking for half a kalpa. If you continue to ask, even now as a child, then what difference is there between the devotees and the children? You are one with a right. You don’t need to ask for co-operation. Whatever has happened is in the past. Now you must also transform all the experiences you have had. Do not think about whatever has happened. Learn a lesson from whatever has happened, and be cautious in the future. If you continue to think about the past, that will become an obstacle. Apply a full stop instead of question marks. It is easy to apply a full stop. Continue to apply a full stop and you will be able to stabilise yourself in the stage of a point.
What will you do after the bhatthi? How will you make the task of the yagya progress? You have to imbibe the divine virtues and become loving anyway, but what will you do in a practical form? Together with your thoughts, words, and actions, you have to check yourself in terms of your body, mind, and wealth. When you are obedient and faithful, you will be able to be loving and co-operative with BapDada and the family. What is the sign of those who are co-operative? They will be close to the family and BapDada in their thoughts and actions. As you continue to come closer to one another in your opinions, all conflict of opinion will finish. This is the method to become helpers and to be faithful. Secondly, how should those who have surrendered completely use their mind, body, wealth, and time? You must maintain an account, just as you maintain accounts for your home. Where and how did you use your body? Write this briefly, but clearly. It should be short and clear. The shorter and more clearly you write it, the more clear your internal stage will be. If you keep your thoughts short, your news will be short, and the line of effort will be clear. Then your news will also be clear. The entire account will be included in this. Thirdly, whatever you have been doing in your thoughts, words, and actions, because of a lack of effort, should be totally removed from the intellect, as though you have taken a new birth. Leave all things of weakness behind, here. Obstacles come in front of you because you have imbibed the knowledge in the wrong way. Nowadays most of you think that to be an effort maker means that your mistakes are forgiven. But effort makers don’t have the freedom to make mistakes. What do you have to remember? Whosoever does something receives the return of that. Whatever I do, when others see me, they will do the same. I must not do what I see others doing.
You have to imbibe four powers. In fact it is one and the same Godly power, but it is said to be four powers. They are:
1) the power to pack up, that is the power to make something short
2) the power to accommodate
3) the power to tolerate
4) the power to confront
Whom do you have to confront? Not BapDada or the divine family, but the power to confront Maya. Imbibe all these four powers and you will be able to remain
completely and eternally surrendered. Continue toi sort out everything and make everything as short as possible. If whatever you say in ten words is made short, then its essence can be said in two words.
The other thing you have to remember is that just as BapDada has revealed you to the world, it is now the duty of you children to reveal BapDada to all souls through your every task and every aspect. This is your task. Also maintain a chart of how many souls you have given BapDada’s message to, and whether you have been revealing BapDada’s love and the relationship with him to those souls through that message. If not then what service took place? You must not do incomplete service. You have now surrendered completely, and so you have to do complete service. Just to give a message is not service. Bring them into relationship. Make them Brahma Kumars and Kumaris who belong to the clan of Shiva. You will only make them into your relations when you make them loving. When they become loving, they will become your relations. Spread the word in the whole world how BapDada is carrying out His task in an incognito way. Forge their love and relationship. All of them are your relations anyway. So just remind your relations of the relationship. The form of service is at present incognito. Revelation will take place when the form of service is revealed. Create new plans for expanding service. How can you spread the sound? Go and give them the information and message fearlessly and without hesitation. Continue to hold exhibitions. But afterwards you must do whatever you are telling them to do. As a gathering, and by understanding one another and giving co-operation to one another, you have to bring about and unlimited dimension to unlimited service.
The enthusiasm of everyone in this group in an emerged form is to do whatever BapDada wishes one hundred percent, just as it is in an emerged form that it will happen. Is is in everyone’s mind to surrender completely from their lokik work; that day is very close. But that will only happen when you have surrendered with the mind. Then it will not take long to surrender from your lokik work. This time, surrender with your mind. The greatest surrender is that of being surrendered in thought. You should not have any waste thoughts. It is because of waste thoughts that your time and energy are wasted. So you have to surrender completely even in thoughts. You now have to bring the enthusiasm of the mind into a practical form. Achcha.
