Avyakt BapDada 16th October 1969
(to pandavs)
To what extent have you got the power to see and to recognise? Who constantly remains in a stage of yoga? Whose inculcation of the divine virtues is such that they seem to be an image of them? Why is Baba asking this? It is so that when you must go into the world outside, to do any task for which you have to maintain a relationship with the devilish community, then through the practice of discrimination you can become victorious in many aspects. Baba was only asking a few questions to see to what extent you can recognise those within your won family. If you do not have the power of discrimination you cannot be victorious. The pandav army especially needs to have the power of discrimination because many situations will come in front of you brothers. In order to face them, this type of intellect is absolutely essential. How can you develop the power of discrimination? Are you able to discriminate anyone who comes in front of you? (each one gave his own idea) The essence of what all of you said is the same. The avyakt stage, remembrance, or the stage of soul consciousness, is the same thing. However, together with the stage of soul consciousness, only those who do not have a lot of waste thoughts are able to discriminate others accurately. Those whose intellect is engaged in the remembrance of One and who are in a constant stage will be able to discriminate others very quickly. Those whose intellect creates a lot of waste thoughts will have a mixture of their own waste thoughts in recognising others. Therefore they will not be able to recognise others as they are. Those who have cleanliness of the intellect will be able to maintain a yogyukt stage. Waste thoughts and sinful thoughts become an obstacle in creating an avyakt stage.
The main reason why you are attracted to the body again and again is that there isn’t cleanliness of the intellect. Cleanliness of the intellect means that it remains lost in the great mantra that it has received (manmanhabav). Because of not having the remembrance of One, and of letting the intellect wander in many directions, it does not remain powerful. Generally you must have experienced that when the intellect is engaged in many tasks, there is the feeling of the intellect being weak and tired, and so you are not able to make an accurate decision about anything. In the same way, waste thoughts and sinful thoughts make the intellect tired. Any soul who is tired will not be able to discriminate or make a decision accurately. No matter how clever someone may be, there is a great difference in his discrimination and decision-making when he is tired. So the main reason for experiencing defeat is that there isn’t the cleanliness of the intellect.
Magicians are able to transform anything very quickly with the cleanliness of their palms. They do not take a long time. You also will have the power to transform. You have learnt to transform, but you are not able to change it like magic, that is you are not able to transform very quickly. It takes you time. In order to use your magic you remember the mantra. The magic is successful for as long as they remember that mantra. If you also remember your great mantra, you will be able to work like magic. It is still taking time. So what will you emerge as from this bhatthi? (magicians). If so many magicians were to spread to every corner of bharat, what would it become? A different scene would be visible within a month.
Now you will have to make preparations. What will you have to do if so many magicians begin the task of transforming? You, as well as BapDada, wish to witness such a scene of newness. The sound should spread of who has emerged from where. At every place they should feel that an alokik soul has incarnated. One incarnation is able to do so much, and all of you are so many incarnations! When you return from here, think that you have incarnated in that body for Godly service. If you go with this awareness, then uniqueness will be visible in every activity. All those of your divine family and lokik family will experience that you have become different and totally transformed. When they experience your transformation, you will be able to transform the world. If you don’t give the experience of transformation, you will not be able to transform the world. You have to change yourself in order to change the world. You must always move along whilst considering yourself to be an instrument who has incarnated into a body which is on loan for a Godly task for just a few days. When you have completed your task, you will go back.
This is a garden. Baba comes into the living garden and he takes a little fragrance through your words, a little through your eyes, and a little through the jewel in your forehead. BapDada sees the sparkle of the jewel on the forehead of each of you. In the same way, if all of you continue to see the jewel on the forehead of each one, then your drishti and attitude will become pure and satopradhan. The main reason why your drishti becomes mischievous is that you do not see the jewel on the forehead, but you see the physical form instead. Do not see the physical form but see the jewel on the forehead. When you see the physical form, just think that you are looking at a snake. If you look at the snake, it will bite you. A snake would carry out its task. A snake is poisonous. There are some special snakes that have jewels. How must you brothers kill the snakes? What will you do? Whilst looking at a snake, do not see the snake. Just see the jewel. The poison of the snake will not be so poisonous if you look at the jewel. If you see the snake which is the body, you will belong to the snake. But if you see the jewel, you will become a jewel in BapDada’s rosary. You either become like a snake , or you become a jewel of the rosary. Only when you yourself become a jewel will you sparkle.
You have made many promises to BapDada. But today make a promise to yourself: “from now on I will not look at anything except the jewel, and I myself will become a jewel of the rosary, and sparkle amidst the whole world.” Now, together with making a promise, make it firm that you will also bring about revelation. Then your promise will definitely bring about revelation. The Pandav Army are enlightened souls, and the Shakti Army are loving souls. Those who are loving are yogi.
Call it BapDada’s desire or pure thought. It is the only thought and it will be the only thought, that each of you should be number one. The stage you create now will be number one out of the entire kalpa. Baba is referring to the true complete stage. All of you should have the aim to become number one. Do not think: “how can everyone become number one”. Remember two things: firstly you must look at the jewel. Do not see the snake which is the body. And secondly, consider yourself to be an incarnation. Perform all your tasks whilst incarnating in this body. And remember one slogan: “whatever BapDada says, and whatever he makes us do, however he makes us move, we will do it just like that”. This is the main slogan of the pandav army. “We will think only about what BapDada says. We must not think about anything else. We must not see anything else with these eyes. We have also given the eyes.”. You are the complete moths are you not? Do moths see anything except the light? What else do your eyes see. When you see anything else they deceive you. Do not deceive yourself. Moths should not look at anyone except the Light. This is the stamp of a complete moth.
You should be able to create whatever stage you want whenever you want. You have to make the mind practice this drill. You must definitely practice coming into sound in one second and going beyond sound in one second. Practice coming into thoughts about service in one second, and going beyond thought and stabilising yourself in your original form in one second. This drill is absolutely essential. Come into physical consciousness for the sake of a task in one second, and then become bodiless in one second. Those who have made thi
s drill firm will be able to face all situations. You must especially practice this avyakt drill at amrit vela. You have to do it throughout the day, but the time for special practice is amrit vela. When you see that your intellect is very busy, at that time practice this. Even whilst being in a situation, are you able to make your intellect detached? If you have attachment to a task, you will not be able to become detached in one second. You must practice this, no matter what the situation is. The final paper will be o many fearsome situations, and you will be amidst situations which you would not wish to be in. Compared with that, the situations of today are nothing. The final paper will take place amidst the final situations. You must prepare for that beforehand. This is why, when you see that you are very busy, that the intellect is very busy in a physical task, that the circumstances are such that they pull you in all directions, at that time practice this. If you continue this drill, you will achieve success.
Together with being an enlightened soul, you also have to be a loving soul. Those who are loving receive love. When you have a lot of love for someone, it is said: “this one has totally forgotten consciousness of everything else”. Forget the awareness of even your own form. The love of the intellect should be only towards that One and none other. Those who are like this are called loving.
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
