Avyakt BapDada 16th February 1996
Today, Father Shiva, the creator of the trimurti, is giving his children trimurti greetings. Children have come to give greetings to the Father, and so in return the Father is giving three types of greetings, to the children in all directions: greetings for Shiva Jayanti, greetings for the Diamond Jubilee, and greetings for having zeal and enthusiasm for doing service.
Throughout the kalpa you souls have been celebrating the birthdays of souls, whether of mahatmas (great souls), or ordinary souls. Now, at the confluence, age you celebrate the birthday of the supreme Father. And the supreme Father celebrates the birthday of the children.
Even in the golden and silver ages, the Supreme Soul will not celebrate your birthday, and you will not celebrate the birthday of God. So you are multi multi multi million times lucky souls. Did you ever think of this elevated fortune as yours even in your dreams? However, today you are celebrating this in the corporeal form. So you have a great deal of happiness.
: Today BapDada is seeing the rosary of the serviceable diamonds in all directions. All of you are part of the rosary, the sparkling diamonds, the garland around Baba’s neck, are you not? People speak of the rosary of 108, but how big is the rosary of all you diamonds around Baba’s neck? 108 would be all of you just sitting here on the floor – all of you sitting at the back are also this, are you not? Look – the instant fruit of renunciation is that BapDada gives more congratulations to those who are sitting at the back, and even more to those who are sitting down below (in Pandav Bhavan).
BapDada sees the specialities of all the children. Even if you have not become perfect, you are at least an effort maker. Each one of you has a speciality – there is not a single child of the Father who does not have a speciality. The first speciality is that at least you are in the list of the handful out of multi millions. And all of you have recognised the Father – even the great tapaswi souls who call themselves the 16,108 Jagadgurus, the scholars of the scriptures, or the great Mahamandleshwars, have not been able to recognise the Father. To know the Father is such a great speciality.
By saying from your heart “my Baba” you claim all rights. This is recognising the Father – all of you have a very elevated power to discern.
People speak of Shiv Ratri, the night of Shiva, but is it night for you now? You have come out of the night have you not? Has the night taken leave? Do you have any type of darkness? Or has it finished? It has become the confluence, and amrit vela, the time for constant blessings, and you receive blessings every day. So the night has become the golden morning and the diamond morning, for all of you.
Maya does not make you forget your blessings does she? Maya will come till the final moments – she will not go away just like that – it is Maya’s duty to come, and your duty to chase her away from a distance. The time when she made you fluctuate has now gone – but with the method of silence you can recognise her from a distance.
Maya has, like an animal, developed the habit of coming, and will not go away, because of this habit. Some children even offer tea to Maya, in the form of weak thoughts. If you offer someone tea, would they go away, or would they sit there comfortably? So you offer hospitality to Maya, something savoury and also something sweet. Then you get distressed, and tell Baba to chase her away. You allowed her to come, so why should Baba chase her away? Maya comes again and again because you do not set yourself on your seat of being trikaldarshi, of knowing the past, present, and future. Being trikaldarshi, you would know in advance what is to happen, and would not have to ask “why?”,”what?”, etcetera.
All types of situations will arise, in all directions – they have to come – whether through the self, through others, through Maya, or through the elements. But if your stage is powerful, then the external situation is nothing, in front of that. So check all three aspects of time – the beginning, the middle, and the end – to understand them and then do whatever is required. Do not just look at the present, or sometimes the external situations will seem greater than the stage of the self.
As people of the world say, “think before you act”. Otherwise you will repent. to think about something beforehand is a sign of an enlightened soul. In the copper and iron ages you have been repenting in many ways, but to carry on repenting at the Confluence Age is not enlightened. Become such that you do not have to repent in your mind for even one second.
So, in this Diamond Jubilee, pay attention to the treasure of time, and also to the treasure of thought. The bank is now open for you to accumulate for the entire kalpa. In the Golden Age the bank will be closed – there will not be this bank, nor will there be any other bank. You will all have so much wealth that there will be no need for anyone to take from anyone else.
Wealth is kept on a bank for safety and security, and to earn interest – many are very clever at living simply on the interest that they receive. If there are such clever ones at this time, then that is good. However, you have to see how you are using the interest that you receive. In the Golden Age there will not be that bank nor will there be this bank for you to accumulate spiritual treasures. At present this bank gives multi-millionfold return, bit only when you accumulate one fold will you receive multi-millionfold.
You still have a chance to accumulate. Put zeal and enthusiasm into yourself. Have a race with your own self, not with others. Accumulate remembrance, service, good wishes and pure feelings in your account. The Almighty Authority is with you, so success should run to your feet.
Many times, children use their heads for service, but they don’t use both their heart and head together. Those who do everything from the heart, also have Baba’s remembrance in their heart. When you use only the head, you soon forget.
People go to your non-living images and ask for protection., so you have to be those who save and protect others, not just those who cry out to be saved. You are worshipped, so constantly keep in your awareness your form of being one who has the right to the kingdom, and your form of being worship worthy – a bestower who gives to others – not one who takes, but a deity who gives.
What combined form of your is praised in connection with Shiv Jayanti? Shiv Shakti – are the Shaktis separate from Shiva? Shiv Shakti means to be combined. So how do you become separated? That which is joined together cannot be separated – it is just that Maya makes the face turn away in the other direction. You turn your face away, and so you step away from the Father. Have the awareness “I am a Shiv Shakti”. And what are the Pandavs? Are you also Shiv Shaktis or are you Shiv Pandavs? You are Shaktis are you not?
Children have asked what type of service is to take place in the future. Baba has already told you earlier that, as much as possible, you should be the chief guests on a ready made stage. Now increase this service even more. In this, bring the instrument souls of the big associations, companies, and societies, close, by giving them the introduction. Then – instead of serving each one individually, you will be able to serve many souls at the same time. Now pay greater attention to this, and increase this type of service. Secondly, prepare speakers – the great mikes are something different, you have to prepare them anyway – but bring those who are in connection with you closer with knowledge – so that they speak of the things of knowledge – so you don’t have to say anything. At present they have reached the stage of experimenting with peace and love, and they all say that they have experienced a lot of love and peace here. Some have even reached the stage of saying that this is the wonder of father Brahm
a – but now you have to make them reach the stage where they say that it is the wonder of God working through Brahma.
The Father will be revealed when others reveal him. The field has now been prepared. Now keep the aim of sowing the seeds of Godly knowledge and Godly recognition. You have ploughed the field. Now bring them closer. You may not be able to take up the very strong points, like God not being omnipresent, but ate least they should understand that this is God’s power, that it is not a separate power of Brahma, but it is God’s power which is working through Brahma. So at least they receive the recognition of the Father. They have reached the point of saying that this is God’s task, that there is some power working here. The completion will be when they receive recognition of God.
To the children in all directions who give greetings for the birthday – to the children in the combined form who constantly stay with the Father – to the children who make themselves and others move forward with constant zeal and enthusiasm – to the truly serviceable souls in all four directions who move forward in service, multi multi multi millionfold greetings and congratulations from BapDada. Together with giving love and remembrance, Baba is also accepting love and remembrance and greetings from the children – Baba is seeing that, in all directions, songs of greetings are being played in each one’s heart. So now, special love and remembrance and namaste of the confluence of giving and receiving love, remembrance and greetings.
(flag hoisting)
Keep the flag flying high, so everyone’s vision can be drawn to it – when the flag of revelation is hoisted, everyone’s vision will be drawn towards the Father. All of you have the flag of baba’s remembrance in your heart anyway, but now you have to hoist this flag in the heart of everyone else. You have hoisted the flag of material, but everyone together has to hoist the flag of revelation. The flag will be hoisted.
