Avyakt BapDada 17th April 1969
You cannot give or take love from the divine family until there is love for effort. If you have love for effort you can then become worthy to claim love from each other.
To the extent that someone is loving, he continues to receive the response of that love. You have to take love through the avyakt form, and give the proof of service with love. Avyakt love is the main thing. Avyakt love gives power to remembrance. Avyakt love helps in creating an avyakt stage.
Th reason for the lack of love for effort is that the majority of you become disturbed on seeing the circumstances. You create your stage with the support of the circumstances. You do not change the circumstances through your own stage. You become weak by being influenced by external circumstances. (But) by stabilising yourself in the original stage of the self, your receive power. The original stage of the self has so much power that it can overcome any kind of external situation. To have love for effort means to remove instantly whatever weakness is visible. Never leave anything for later. Do it right now. Bondages will not remove themselves. You have to remove them with your own power.
Baba continues to watch the game from up above. you can also come up and watch it and you will enjoy yourself a great deal. Baba sees very entertaining games of the children. You can also see them. If you watch while being stable in your elevated stage, you will be able to see the games of others as well as your own. BapDada continues to watch them. they are games of great amusement. the great maharathis are not afraid of lions, yet they are afraid of ants. They are able to confront a lion easily, but they do not know the method of treading over an ant. This is the game of the maharathis. Do you know what the cavalry do? Baba also watches the games of the cavalry. The cavalry have a lot of courage and enthusiasm. They even move forward in their effort, but whilst galloping.. they do not slip off, they do not fall or get tired, they are tireless and they even continue to move along very well, but they become attracted to the side scenes that come along the path. “What is this one doing? How is he doing this? Even I can do that”. They compete. The cavalry are greatly drawn into observing others. There is an amusing aspect about the infantry also. Baba is telling you about the game. What do they do? It may be a very minor thing but they turn it into a great mountain. They do not make a mountain into a mustard seed, but instead they make a mustard seed into a mountain and get themselves disturbed. It is nothing and they make everything out of it. And then looking at its height, they lose their courage. If each of you is asked, who is a maharathi, who is of the cavalry and who is of the infantry, will you be able to answer?
To be egoless means to be a total renunciate. Such souls surrender everything that belongs to them, renounce awareness of the body, and do not see the defects of others. Which main virtues come through this renunciation? Easiness (implying lightness and simplicity) and tolerance. Those who have easiness and tolerance attract others and they are able to have love for one another. By being a total renunciate there will automatically be easiness and tolerance.
The image of BapDada should be visible through your behaviour. The meaning of effort is not to make the same mistake twice. If you keep repeating the same mistake how can you call that making effort?
How can you be loving towards one another? You can only be loving towards one another when you match the thoughts and sanskars of one another. You have even been told the method for that: to be a total renunciate. You will become loving when you imbibe easiness and tolerance.
Never think that you should be praised. Do not create your stage on the basis of praise, or when there is defamation you will become orphans. You lose your stage and you forget the Lord and master. If your stage is based on praise you will keep on fluctuating. If you accept the fruit here, you will finish the fruit for the future. The more you are making incognito effort and are an incognito helper, the more you create your incognito status. No matter how much others praise you, you yourself must not be influenced by that praise.
Whatever task you perform, stay at the confluence and judge it accordingly, because all of you belong to the Confluence Age. This is why whatever happens, there are always two sides to it. Stay at the confluence of both of these and then judge. You must not be on one side too much, nor on the other side to much. Stay at the confluence. The stage of being in-between is the seed stage; to be just a point. Just as a seed is very subtle, the seed stage is also very subtle. You need courage and the method to remain stable in that stage. Whenever you have to be a child you mustn’t be a master, and whenever you have to be a master, you mustn’t be a child. Many misunderstand this. You have to check this a great deal. You have to have the complete consciousness of being a chid and also a master. this is why you are told to stay at the confluence. You mustn’t simply be a child nor must you simply be a master.To be a child means to be free from waste thoughts. You simply have to follow the orders and directions you receive. To be a master means to give advice. You have to observe at which place and in which aspect you need to give advice. You mustn’t become a master everywhere. If you are a master when you have to be a child there will be a conflict of sanskars, because there will be two masters. You have to think about which form you have to adopt at which time. you have to be one with many forms. As is the time so should be your form. Achcha.
