Avyakt BapDada 19th November 1979

Today, BapDada was singing the praise of each child’s fortune. On seeing His children’s most elevated lines of fortune, Baba smiles. Which aspects are most apparent when looking at the elevated lines of fortune? The most significant factors are the time, the date, the period, the governing omens, the clan, the religion, the wealth, relationship and occupation of the soul. The fortune of each one can be deduced form all the factors. Are these factors understood by you in relation to the fortune of the self?

What is your date of birth? Even nowadays they still tell fortunes by referring to the birthday and to the sound of a person’s name. When did you incarnate? When Brahma is created so too are the Brahmins. So the date of birth of the original jewels is the date of Baba’s incarnation.

The period is the Confluence Age, the period symbolised by the omens of Brahm (auspicious omens). And so the period of everyone’s birth is the hour of Brahm, the hour of the early morning.

The sound of your name is also Baba’s. That sound is “World Benefactor”.

The omens under which you have been born are those of the Sat Guru.

The clan is the most elevated of all. You belong to the clan of God, the divine clan.

Your status is that of Master Almighty Authority.

Your wealth is beyond limit.

Your religion is that of the Brahmin’s top-knot.

The line of your intellect is deep and subtle, allowing you to view the three aspects of time: past, present, and future.

Is there anyone whose lines of fortune are more elevated than these? And Baba has also drawn clearly your lines of action by making you constant karma yogis, natural yogis, and raja yogis. The crown and throne are clearly visible in the star of your fortune. Could anyone have greater fortune than this?…..

: Today BapDada was looking at the fortune of each child. Just as Baba sees the fortune and smiles, so too do all of you see your own individual fortune and smile, or do you forget it by becoming involved in unimportant matters? What do these tiny little matters consist of? You tell devotees that their worship is the worship of dolls, that they are simply playing games with dolls. You describe how they make these dolls, decorate them, worship them, and then drown them in the rivers. Similarly you children who are Master Bestowers of Fortune become involved in the game of playing with tiny little matters. In reality there is nothing there, but in order to settle karmic accounts, or to test one’s dharna, or to check out one’s own consciousness, these matters come repeatedly in a variety of forms. They are lifeless things without any substance, but when they confront you it is as if they are filled with life, and you go into a great expansion about them.

And so you too create dolls. Sometimes there is the doll of jealousy, sometimes the doll of doubts, sometimes of imagination or conflict, or the doll of bossiness. Firstly you create these dolls, then you experience them as having a reality of their own, and then you convince others of their reality. This is what is happening. You breathe life into these dolls, and then what do you do? You decorate your doll with past memories and future hallucinations. You churn points of knowledge in a twisted way and then you sit and offer them up to Baba with such feeble thoughts as “of course these things are unavoidable”. Or else: “well, everyone still has such failings”, “all are making efforts according to the drama, we won’t become perfect until the end!”. In such a manner you offer bhoge (holy food) of twisted points of knowledge, and hence give strength to that which is unreal: you underline it. Initially it is the bhoge of uncooked food, but then you cook it and offer it again. And then you invite the family to sit with you for bhoge, that is to say you make them your companions in this business, and offer this food to their intellects as well.

So what must happen finally? Finally all these things must be drowned in the waves of the remembrance of the Ocean of Knowledge… “let past be past”… “let there be progress for the self”… “let me take a high jump”… “let there be remembrance of the true self”… let me be Master Knowledgeful”.

Firstly all these dolls’ images must be drowned amidst the waves. But what about all the time that has been wasted? Just as you tell devotees that their activity is a waste of time and money, in the same way you waste so much of this most elevated period of the Confluence Age, and so much of the treasures of knowledge and of the powers, in this game of dolls’ play. And so, how should you consider these matters? As dolls’ play. Never allow yourself to become involved in this sort of game. Constantly recognise your most elevated fortune. The time now is such that all are close to the stage of retirement. Retired people wouldn’t play with dolls. Those who are in the stage of retirement (according to Indian tradition) remain in solitude and remembrance, chanting the name of God. And so all of you, who are senior in the unlimited sense, who are retired, must constantly remain in the depths of the One, i.e. in true solitude, the constant embodiment of remembrance. This is the stage of one who is in retirement.

Do you not enjoy this stage of consciousness? That which you enjoy is never forgotten. Baba wants to see all children become like Baba. All children should be merged in Baba’s remembrance. Is it not your desire to be merged within Baba? To merge means to become equal.

Achcha. Is this season going to be one in which you listen, or one in which the practical form becomes visible? Later it will be explained to you what is required at the present moment; what the devotes are crying out for; what unhappy and peaceless souls are crying out for; what religious leaders and politicians and scientists are calling out for; what matter is crying out for. Can you hear the cries of these countless souls, or are you busy in the play of dolls.

Achcha later you will be told about the cry of all of these. You people can also listen to their cries in the early morning hours of nectar.

Achcha. To those who are constantly aware of their fortune; those who are always like Baba; those who are constantly merged in remembrance, constantly in true solitude; those who make every moment valuable and become the embodiment of success; those who relinquish the games of worship and become the embodiment of the stage of Master Knowledgeful; those who are the embodiment of remembrance and power… to such infinitely fortunate children, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.

(to foreigners)

Just as in terms of physical lands you are foreigners, so too does the soul always consider itself to be foreign, ie do you move in the consciousness of being residents of paramdham? Always feel that “I the soul have incarnated from paramdham only to carry out the task of world benefit”. With this consciousness your vision, thoughts, words, and actions will bring benefit for all and you will perform the service of the lighthouse. From the physical lighthouse there is only one colour of light emerging, but here the colours of all the powers will emerge, showing the path at every step to other souls. By remaining in that consciousness, whoever comes in front of you will have the feeling that “we have come to a mine of unlimited treasures”.

The foreigners must carry out service whilst moving and walking as lighthouses. Always keep one image with you. Just as there is the image of Brahma signalling towards Shiv Baba with his finger, so too your every thought and action should signal towards Baba. And so check.. “do my thoughts point towards Shiva Baba?”. At that time everyone should have a vision of you all sitting on BapDada’s heart throne.

To what extent have foreigners carried out the service that was given to them? How far has the sound of the “loudspeakers” spread? How quickly is that sound spreadi
ng? When will that sound reach its destination? In 1980 or 1981? Kumbhakarna wil awaken only when the sound of the “loudspeakers” reaches India. So do not send a small voice but a very large one. Now all are waiting in anticipation for a sound coming from abroad that will awaken the Kumbhakarna of Bharat.

Always mould the self: reveal your dharna clearly according to the moment and the circumstances. Sakar Baba’s speciality was to adopt a form according to the time and the individual.

Do not make long term plans, but make such plans that can be quickly brought into practice. But be soul conscious, not date conscious.
