Avyakt BapDada 5th December 1979

Today, BapDada was looking at his spiritual army. BapDada saw each member of the army in their various stages of effort. Some were Maharathis (elephant riders), some were cavalry, and some were infantry.

On the forehead, that is, in the consciousness of the maharathis, the flag of victory was flying high constantly.

The flag of victory was also on the forehead of the cavalry, but not flying constantly. It was flying with the sparkle of happiness, and the intoxication of faith, but then sometimes the breeze would subside and so the flag would droop.

The infantry were very busy trying to hoist their flag, with great effort, using the rope of faith, and the intoxication of happiness. But because there were some knots of weakness, the flag would not hoist smoothly. Only after a period of time, after labouring with intense efforts, would the flag actually fly. Because of this, the sparkle and intoxication were not clearly visible.

Seeing the efforts of his children, BapDada was donating vibrations of might from afar, that is to say he was giving a signal: “do it this way”. Whilst some children could see the signal and so become successful, others were so busy in their efforts that they missed the signal completely. They didn’t have time to notice it!

And so this was how BapDada saw the three different kinds of warriors. When everyone’s flag had been hoisted, either with great effort or considerable ease, there was a showering of flowers and Baba and his children were glorified with very great splendour.

Now BapDada wants to give an easy method to those children who were labouring. Do you know why the flag of victory does not fly at the right moment, or why it does not fly constantly? Because you do not rehearse in advance, you do not have realisation. It is one thing to hear or speak about the fact that all relationships are with Baba, but to experience the benefit of all relationships is a different thing. If you were to remain lost in the experience of love and in the attainment of all relationships, then how would the whole day pass? You would detach very easily from the old world, and would be elsewhere. At each moment, in every act, you can experience some different relationship, and through this have constant yoga. At every moment take the help of different relationships with Baba.. experience them. This itself is yoga.

Why is it that you are unable to be such natural, constant yogis? At any moment Baba is committed to fulfilling any relationship. Baba is offering his company and help, but the ones who are in need do not take. Experience the relationships of Mother, Father, Friend, Companion, Beloved… if you remain devoid of any of these relationships now, you will be devoid of them for all eternity, since it is only at this stage in the cycle that the mine of all experiences is available. If not now, then never. So check yourself: is there any relationship which the soul has not yet experienced?

In the same way, take up the subject of spiritual knowledge and check whether there is any point of knowledge mentioned which you have not experienced. You talk of being spinners of the discus of self realisation, but have you had a vision of the self? If not, then how can you claim the title? To understand means to “have a vision”. Those who churn these matters over, and bring them into practice, will always have the authority of knowledge, of understanding.

Similarly, in the subject of imbibing, you talk of the various virtues, but is there the experience of each of them, and of the authority that comes from this? Are you a talker, a listener, or an authority?

A Maharathi has authority on the basis of experience. The cavalry do more listening and talking.

The main difference between bhakti (worship) and gyan (knowledge) is realisation. On the one hand talk, and on the other, practical experience. So to become a constant yogi, gain experience in taking advantage of all relationships with Baba. Experience all attainments and all points of knowledge.

Now the time for battling is over. If yo are still battling like a warrior, then you will belong to the Moon Dynasty. For Brahmins it is time to become victorious. The sanskars of victory must be present over a long period of time. Even now you can transform your fortune.

Achcha, to such constantly victorious souls; those with the authority of the experience of all relationships; those with the authority of every point of knowledge; those with the authority of the experience of each virtue; those who are all-rounders in service, and who are ever-ready and so have the authority of this speciality also; to such elevated souls who are like Baba, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

Just as the jeweller recognises the value of every jewel, so too Baba recognises the elevated stage of every child. Each jewel is more elevated than the next. You are not ordinary. Even the very last bead is not ordinary because it has the speciality of having recognised Baba. You are not the last, but you are the ones who are going first. No one’s number has yet been fixed. All the seats remain vacant. The whistle has not yet been blown. Only after the whistle blows will everyone claim their seat. Even the last one can go fast and become the first. Except for the seats of the Mother and Father, all seats are still vacant. Your fortune is in your own hands. Baba, the bestower of fortune, has put your fortune in your hands. You can create as much as you want. So take up this golden chance. No mater how much expansion of service there may be, keep yourself stable in the essence. If now you receive the instruction to become master seed, then within a second it should happen: it should not take time. Within the game of one second, you can create your fortune for the entire kalpa. Create as much as you choose.

If at the time of the final paper there is the thought “now I must have yoga in one second”, the second will pass in this thought, and you will leave the body battling, and so will come into the Moon Dynasty of the Silver Age.

When service finishes then everyone can come to Madhuban, but who will be able to come? Those who have conquered all attachment. Those whose line of the intellect is clear, because at that time no one can be called by telephone or telegram, but if the line of the intellect is clear then Baba’s call will reach them. There will be such situations that only the train you are travelling in will arrive, there will be nothing further after that. If the line is clear, then you will also find the method for reaching here, otherwise you will get stuck somewhere or another, and so this is why you need to have constant yoga over a long period of time. Yoga is the armour: one who wears armour is constantly safe. So, the dress for safety is the armour of remembrance.
