Avyakt BapDada 9th January 1980
Today, BapDada was seeing the entertaining scene of children everywhere. As he saw them he smiled, and laughed at times as well. Which scene was it?
BapDada was seeing the residents of sangamyug, those who are most elevated, as valuable as diamonds, the most elevated children of BapDada, the elevated souls of the Godly family of the Brahmin clan, the most beloved long lost and now found children. BapDada has given them various forms of costume and decoration for the entire day, and Baba has also given them a most elevated throne on which to sit. According to the situation children can put on the appropriate dress with decoration to match. In satyug, the dress and decoration will change, but those sanskars must be created here. Brahma Baba too has decorated his children in Sangamyug with a variety of dresses and decoration.
But even though they have been given such beautiful dresses and decoration, some children are still wearing their old dresses, dresses that are soiled with mud.
The dress is the consciousness of different titles, and the decoration is the adornment of the different virtues. How many different dresses and sets of decoration do you have? The decoration is according to the dress. Count how many dresses you have. To be stable in the consciousness of a title means to wear that particular dress. Sometimes wear the dress of being world benefactor, sometimes master almighty authority, sometimes the spinner of the cycle. As the moment and the task, so the dress which you should wear.
In addition wear the decoration of virtues also: sometimes the jewellery of knowledge, sometimes of love, sometimes of bliss, sometimes of happiness, sometimes of peace. Let your hands, neck, ears, and forehead be decorated. Imbibe this remembrance in the forehead. that “I am the embodiment of bliss”. This is the jewellery which sparkles on the forehead. Round your neck, let the decoration be that which gives bliss: this is the necklace that garlands the neck. Through your hands let there be such actions as stabilise you in becoming the embodiment of bliss: this is the bracelets around the wrists. Through your ears, always listen to those things that make you the embodiment of bliss: this is the decoration of your ears. Let your feet go towards that service which makes you the embodiment of bliss, and let your step inspire others to do the same. This is the decoration of the feet. Wear different sets of decoration at different times. Do you know how to wear them, or do you decorate your ears and forget about your neck?
Why do you renounce this most beautiful variety of costumes and again wear the costume which is soiled with mud – the consciousness of the body? Some children are unable to wear the most beautiful and elevated dress for any length of time: they put on the dress and the next moment they take it off again and put on some inferior dress. Some are even wearing dresses which are absolutely foul smelling! This is the bad odour of bodily relations and attachment to bodily possessions. That bad odour carries even from far away. The clothes of some are even dirty, that is to say the eye is criminal through looking at the skin. Others had dirty stains on their dresses from seeing the defects of others and hence becoming stained themselves. Others had very bad stains of blood, from sinning again and again, that is, killing the soul of its most elevated stage of consciousness. And now consider, on the one hand dresses of the consciousness of the most beautiful titles, and on the other all these dirty dresses. Elevated souls should have elevate dresses.
And so, what was seen? Some children wore very superior dresses throughout the day, with matching decoration sets, and were thus able to stabilise themselves on that seat. But others were unable to wear the elevated dresses, even though these dresses were right in front of them, and the desire to wear them was there also.
So adopt the most beautiful and elevated decoration set from the early morning hours of nectar. Only if you are wearing the dress of elevated titles, and the decoration of virtues, will you be able to wear the costumes of world emperor and empress in satyug. And then the maids and servants will lift the train of your gowns behind you. The five elements and five vices will lift the train behind those who now possess the authority of self sovereignty, and those who are the conquerors of Maya, and who stabilise themselves in the dress of these titles. That is, they will subservient. And so, bring this scene in front of you. How? Those who have conquered Maya have ten servants behind them, namely the ten heads of Ravan. But only when the dress fits tightly and is worn constantly, that is when the dress is a long one, only then will the ten servants lift the train behind you.
Determination is the belt you need to tighten your dress. If you do not fit the dress tightly, the very same servers will pull the dress off! So you know how to wear you dress now, and how to tighten it, so that the vices become your co-operative servants. . So, take advantage of the various sets of dresses and decorations that are offered. Wear whichever dress you choose at whatever time, but don’t wear a dirty dress.
Brahma Baba, in fact BapDada, has given you a trousseau in sangamyug. There has been a love marriage, and so you will receive a trousseau as well, comprised of the various sets of decoration and these beautiful dresses. Some children take the trousseau from BapDada, but secretly keep their old dresses also. Old dresses are being put on when attachments begin. Why shed your invaluable dress to wear a dirty torn dress? Don’t do this. If till now you have been hiding it secretly, then burn it now, and don’t even keep the ashes with you, but go and sacrifice them in the ocean, and then you will constantly remain beautifully decorated, and will constantly sit on the throne of the heart with Baba. If you leave that throne then you will sit on the throne of the gallows.. sometimes the gallows of greed, sometimes the gallows of attachment. So renounce the throne of the gallows, and sit on the throne of the heart.
You have kept your trousseau safe have you not? Now use it, don’t just keep it. Do you just keep looking at it and say “it is very good, it is very lovely.”? Wear it! Now claim first prize in the dress competition. The placing depends on constancy. Everyone knows how to put the dress on, but not everyone knows how to keep the dress constantly “tip-top”. Your placing depends on being constantly decorated. Many can come first in the competition, because the treasure is unlimited.
Achcha, as from tomorrow what will you do? Decorate yourself in the early morning hours with various dresses and sets of decoration, and remain decorated throughout the day in the company of Baba. Right from the early morning wear this number one dress. Only those brides who are beautifully decorated can go together with Baba. Others cannot go. Those who claim first place in the competition, those who remain “together”, are the ones who will go “together”. Those who do not remain together cannot go together either. And so constantly remember this slogan, wear this tilak, that “we shall remain together, we shall go together”.
Baba was showing this scene to Brahma Baba in the subtle regions because Brahma Baba is constantly remembering his children at the present time.
Achcha.. to such souls who are constantly decorated images, those who understand the importance of the elevated life of sangamyug, those who become great souls, who change their enemies into servants, who make others co-operative, who are always master almighty authority; to those who remain constantly in the form of the unique couple, Baba and self; to such supremely worship worthy and praise worthy souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
