Avyakt BapDada 6th January 1990
Today, the Ocean of Knowledge is seeing the gathering of holy swans – clean and pure souls. Cleanliness means purity in mind, words, actions, relationships – in everything. The colour white is always shown as a sign of purity. You holy swans have white clothing and a clean heart. Cleanliness means to be always flawless in body, mind, and heart. First of all keep the mind clean.
Complete cleanliness and purity is everyone’s aim at the Confluence Age. Complete purity is the praise of you Brahmins, and so of the deities. They are not just called viceless, but completely viceless. It is your deity form that is praised, but you become that now, in your Brahmin life. So check to what extent you have imbibed cleanliness, that is, purity.
Consider you body to be the temple of the soul – the more elevated the image is, the more elevated and clean the temple is. Out of the entire kalpa, the Brahmins are number one – the deities are gold and the Brahmins are diamond. So keep your temple clean and simple. Purity in the body will bring spiritual happiness. There is no cleanliness in body consciousness. Consider your body to be a temple that has been given to you by Baba. Your body, mind, and wealth – nothing is yours any more – you become free from attachments and take cleanliness and purity into yourself.
In the same way if there is any impure thought in the mind – if it runs towards anyone else – then there is no cleanliness.
The third aspect is the heart – honesty is cleanliness. Keep your self progress – your effort – honestly in front of Baba. So your effort should be clean and your service should be with a true heart, and no selfish motive. There should be no carelessness, or feeling of compulsion. Cleanliness is not just your duty, it is your original sanskar, your original religion, and your original karma.
The fourth aspect is cleanliness in relationships. To what extent are you content? You should remain light in the mind, and happy, and others will be happy with you. Otherwise, thoughts will enter the mind even against your wishes, and will burden you. Cleanliness in relationship means contentment. This relationship is honest and clean. One who is honest dances with happiness constantly.
So check to what extent you have become holy swans – without the cleanliness of honesty you may be swans but you are not holy.
Most of you think that you have up to the year 2000. The question of the destruction of the world is separate from that of keeping yourself ever ready – you may have a part in the advance party, or a part after destruction – some souls do have such parts, so you should remain ever-ready.
Teachers – when you think too much about why the number of students doesn’t increase, why they go away, then they will not stay. If you invoke them through spirituality and accurate yoga, the students will increase automatically. So always keep the mind light – any type of burden will prevent you from flying, and service will not be uplifted either.
To the holy swans from all four directions who please the Lord with a true heart – to the ever-ready children – to the ones who make themselves worthy of praise, clean and perfect – to Baba’s close children – to the experienced souls who consider themselves to be as worthy as diamonds – BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
