Avyakt BapDada 22 November 1979

Today Baba is checking to see the extent to which each child has filled themselves with sense and with essence (“roop” and “basant”): that is knowledge and powers.

: Today BapDada was also conducting a “spiritual drill” to check the extent to which the entire gathering can, in one second, unite in a single thought, and hence transform the vibration of the atmosphere. Each maharathi practises this transformation with their own vibrations numberwise, but to complete the task of world transformation, there must be one single thought from the entire gathering. Each finger of thoughts is needed.

When rosewater is sprinkled, the fragrance pervades the entire atmosphere in one second. All would experience that lovely fragrance without even the desire to do so, and would ask “where is that fragrance coming from?”. Similarly, in a second, spread the fragrance of the various powers, of peace, of bliss, of love, throughout the whole gathering. Let the beauty of this fragrance spread in all directions so that all souls come to experience it and ask “from where is this fragrance coming?”. If someone who is peaceless experiences peace, or if one who is thirsty receives water, then the eyes open and they regain consciousness. In the same way the vibrations of the essence of peace and bliss will open the third eyes of the blind and of the children of the blind. Those who are unconscious in ignorance will regain consciousness and will ask: “who are these people?”.

Are you able to to practice this spiritual drill? Even the rajoguni rishis and munis of the copper age could spread vibrations of peace all around themselves through the power of their yoga with the Brahm element. They are your creations since you are the Master Creators at this time. Just as they would spread peace throughout the limited jungles, so too are you Raja Yogis not able to spread vibrations of peace, power, and bliss throughout this unlimited jungle? Now maintain this determined thought constantly. The practice for this has begun already with monthly international yoga hours, but now this practice should be increased.

At present success is flying ahead at the level of spreading knowledge through spiritual fairs, conferences, and yoga training camps. But now begin flying service at the level of yoga by becoming the embodiment of the power of remembrance, of the power of elevated thoughts. Consider new methods of attaining this. Only when the balance of sense and essence is achieved in service can the end come.

The sacrificial fire has been established and so this is the symbol for creation. This yagya has been established, and only when there is the final sacrifice in the fire of swaha (total sacrifice) through the determined thought of all Brahmins present in the gathering, can there be the completion of the Yagya. Only then will the task of world transformation be complete.
When there is swaha, when there is total renunciation, then instead of cries of distress there will be gasps of amazement. Then there will be transformation.

Do you know how to sacrifice totally? Only when all the barley and sesame seeds are sacrificed is the yagya regarded as complete. And so, only when all old sanskars and traits have been sacrificed in the total gathering can this Yagya be completed. When a yagya is nearing completion then all will sacrifice together, and only then is the yagya regarded as having been successful. If the sacrifice of even one is not completed then this is regarded as ominous. So what is the effort that must be made? To sacrifice all as a total gathering.

What is happening at present? Now if someone says “finish this off, sacrifice it” what happens? Instead of sacrificing, there is a debate, a discussion. The debate is a very god one and its topic is always “why and how?”. On his “radio” in the subtle regions BapDada hears many such discussions from one broadcasting station or another. What is this form and behaviour like? In your world they show the antics of Mickey Mouse on television, sometimes with his eyes popping out, sometimes open-mouthed, sometimes racing, sometimes crashing down, sometimes slipping off a ladder, sometimes blown by storms and unable to remain upright. One second he is laughing, and the next there are tears. BapDada witnesses many such games. As you are hearing all this you are laughing, but if you were only to laugh at yourself at the time that you are indulging in those things then the end would come! As yet, you are unable t o make the final sacrifice.

If for any reason there are sanskars remaining which someone is unable to sacrifice with their own will-power, then you should offer co-operation and help to them as a total gathering. In what way?….. If someone is doing or saying something, and the one who is watching turns their attention elsewhere, then the activity or speech of the first will come to a halt. If someone is singing or dancing but there is no-one present to appreciate it, then their activity will come to a halt. So give co-operation in this way. This is also part of “total sacrifice”. Only when you become co-operative to this extent, can there be world transformation through the power of the gathering. Together with sense there must be essence.

At present there is generally more sense than essesce. “Sense” means understanding the points of knowledge. “Essence” means to be the embodiment of all powers, that is the embodiment of remembrance, and being in a powerful stage of consciousness.

Because there is only sense, even points of knowledge are subject to debate. Now become the essence of all powers, and reduce this expansion of knowledge to its essence, applying it in practical daily life. In this way expansion and discussion will automatically finish and there can be total sacrifice very speedily. Then you will always remain in the wonder of Baba and in the wonder of the self. Everything is merged within this!

So, have the balance of sense and essence. Let there be sacrifice at every second. Let thoughts be sacrificed for service, words for world benefit, and actions for the transformation of the world. Then all consciousness of “I”, all things of the old self, will automatically be sacrificed. Only Baba and service will remain.

Achcha, to such souls who are constantly powerful, constantly co-operative in transforming all; to those who maintain the balance of sense and essence; to those who remain lost in the intoxication of the one thought of world transformation; to those for whom nothing exists except Baba and service; to those who, like Baba, are great souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
