Avyakt BapDada 4th December 1991
Today, the remembrance of the tapaswis in all four directions is reaching BapDada. Some children are celebrating the corporeal meeting personally, as a return of their remembrance, and some are experiencing remembrance and the meeting in the subtle form. BapDada is seeing the children of each form.
: Today at amrit vela BapDada was seeing the practical form of the tapasya of the children. All are tapaswis, because the speciality of Brahmin life is tapasya. Tapasya means to be lost in the deep love of One. There are very few successful tapaswis, whereas there are many effort making tapaswis. The face and character of a successful tapaswi will show the personality and royalty of purity. Tapasya means purity in thoughts, words, actions, relationships and connections. When impurity is finished, this is the complete stage.
Purity does not just mean celibacy. Complete purity means that none of the vices should be touched even in thought. Just as in life, Brahmin people consider any physical attraction or physical touching to be impure, in the same way, if the mind or intellect is attracted to, or touched by, the thought of any vice, that is also considered to be an impurity. Those who have the personality of purity – the royalty of purity – will not touch that which is bad, even through their mind or intellect. To be a successful tapaswi means to be a complete Vaishnav (one who belongs to the clan of Vishnu). Vaishnavs never touch anything bad. So theirs is a physical aspect, whereas for you Brahmin souls it is a subtle aspect. Not to touch anything that is bad is tapasya. To imbibe something means to pick it up, and that is a very gross aspect, but you should not touch it even in thought. This is called being a true Vaishnav.
To stay in remembrance simply at the time of remembrance is not called tapasya. Tapasya means that the self experiences the personality and royalty of purity, and also gives that experience to others. Successful tapaswis are special, great souls. The personality of purity means greatness and speciality in every action – to not waste your energy, time and thoughts, but to use them in a worthwhile way – to never keep the mind or intellect occupied in trivial matters. In front of such elevated souls the things of impurity appear little. Tapasya means to not see, while seeing, and to not hear, while hearing such things. Consider such things to be side scenes, and walk on past them – go beyond them. Do you understand what tapasya is?
Just as, when you saw sakar Brahma Baba, you experienced the personality of purity, a sign of tapasya, very clearly, so now others should experience this through you, through your face and your character. Today Baba told you about the personality of purity. Baba will talk about royalty at another time. Today the instrument of the chariot is a little unwell, but it has to be used.
Everyone has come to celebrate a meeting. Since you are corporeal, BapDada has to become corporeal also, the same as you, in order to celebrate the meeting. But in fact it is you that have to change from corporeal to subtle. So why do you bring the subtle into the corporeal? What does the law say? Since you also have to become subtle, then why do you not let the subtle remain subtle? Continue to increase the experience of the subtle meeting. According to the drama, the subtle is also tied in the bondage of the drama to come into the corporeal. However, according to the circumstances the experience of the subtle meeting will be very useful. So make the experience of the subtle meeting so clear and easy that you experience it in the same way as the corporeal meeting. Do you understand? At that time do not say that you have the experience of meeting the corporeal in the subtle. You should be able to celebrate the meeting according to the time.
No matter where you have come from you are all Madhuban niwasis. You have gone to different places for the sake of service. A Brahmin is a madhuban niwasi. Never consider your place of service to be your place. Many children were told to change their place and they reply “no -send us to Punjab”, or “send us to Orissa”. Where are you from? So why do you say you are from Punjab, and to only send you to Punjab?Or you are from Gujarat, and so only send you to Gujarat? Are you ready to change your place? Are all the teachers ready? If any of you were asked to change, would you be ready? Look, Dadi is giving the certificate of “no” to all of you – you must have shown something like that, and that is why she is saying this. Achcha, this will be done in April. Only those who come prepared to do this should come to celebrate a meeting with Baba. Do you like this, or will you lose sleep over it? Those who think that their teacher should be changed, raise their hands. Those who are happy with any teacher, knowing that BapDada is responsible, that Dadi and Didi are responsible, raise their hands. Those who think this is not a good idea, raise your hand. There is no-one. Now, this is being recorded on TV – take everyone’s picture on the TV so that it can be shown to them later. It is good. This will be the question on the final paper – to be a destroyer of attachment and the embodiment of remembrance. Zone heads will also be changed. All of you will be changed. Pandavs will also be changed. What is yours anyway – is there anything? BapDada gives and BapDada takes it away, so what have you lost? Achcha. All of you are ever ready, so congratulations for raising your hands.
To the successful tapaswi souls in al four direction – to those who stay constantly in the personality of purity – to those who stay constantly in the royalty of purity – to the constantly true, complete Vaishnav souls – to the world transformers who constantly transform themselves according to the time – to such constant yogis, easy yogis, natural yogis – to the great souls, BapDada’s love, remembrances, and namaste.

Today, BapDada is seeing all his royal tapaswi children. Tapasya makes you into kings. The power of tapasya changes you from being dependant into those who have a right. This is why it has been remembered that you claim the fortune of the kingdom through tapasya. How elevated your fortune is – so elevated that you have made the bestower of fortune belong to you. There is no need for each of you to ask for the different types of fortune individually. You have claimed all types of fortune from the bestower as an inheritance. An inheritance is never asked for.
Tapasya means that the soul says “I am yours and you are mine”. With the power of this tapasya you have made the bestower of fortune belong to you. Together with receiving fortune you have also received the kingdom of the self. The future kingdom of the world depends on the kingdom of the self.
In bhakti for many births you said again and again “I am your slave, I am your slave”. Baba says “I am the children’s slave”. You are children of the almighty authority, and so how can you be the slaves? This does not suit you. So, from slaves, Baba gave you the experience of being kings. You don’t become slaves at any time. You don’t become slaves of Maya do you? A king can never be a slave. Your slavery has finished. Has it finished, or do you sometimes enjoy it?
The power of tapasya is very elevated. Tapasya is to celebrate with pleasure. Tapasya means to sing and dance very easily. It is entertainment, is it not? It s not labour. The instant fruit of tapasya is happiness. Tapasya means to dance in happiness and to sing praises of Baba and your original eternal form. How great this song is! And how easy it is! Does your head become heavy, or do you become double light?
Your head becomes heavy if you make one small mistake, and consider the responsibility to be yours, instead of Baba’s. Baba is Karankaravanhar, so what burden do you have? Baba has made you the instruments in order to create your fortune. Baba is the companion. If the almighty authority is the companion, what heaviness can there be? When you consider it to be your responsibility, your head becomes heavy. Brahmin life is to dance, sing, and experience pleasure. Service is a game, nothing else. You are not working – you are playing games. For a souls who is a master almighty authority, all this is a game.
In this year of tapasya, you have been experimenting with yoga. Experiment with each one of the treasures – of time, thoughts, knowledge, or physical wealth. If you use your treasures with the method of experimentation in yoga, each treasure will continue to increase. In your experiments there should be less usage of any treasure and greater attainment – less labour and greater success – less expenditure and greater splendour. You will be able to use the accumulated savings to serve others. Only those who have accumulated wealth can give donations or perform charity. So use fewer words and actions, and attain greater success.
What was the result of the majority that was seen during tapasya? The zeal and enthusiasm is good. There is also attention, and there is success, but you use the treasures more for yourself. To have experiences yourself is a good thing, but the year of tapasya has been given for world service, as well as for the self. Spread the vibrations of tapasya in the world with a fast speed. Increase the speed of the experiments of yoga in the laboratory of experiences. At the present time all souls need to experience transformation through your powerful vibrations and atmosphere.
There are many co-operative children here. This co-operation will change into yoga. One variety are those who are loving and co-operative, the second are those who c-operative and yogi – and the third are constant yogis who experiment. Now ask yourself – “who am I?”. However, Baba has love for all three varieties of children.
Some wonder why you are carrying out huge projects in the year of tapasya, while others think this is the fruit of tapasya. Baba experiences both these vibrations. The drama is showing that tapasya can fulfill all needs easily at the right time. There should not be the question “why is this happening”. Tapasya means to experience success easily. As you go further you will experience how the impossible becomes possible so easily. You will experience this more and more. The obstacles are fixed in the drama from the beginning to the end – they give the experience of making the impossible possible. All of you have become experienced, so an obstacle is just a game to you. You play football, do you not? What do you do? You only kick the ball when it comes to you. If the ball didn’t come to you, how could you kick it? How could there be a game? This is a football game. You enjoy it, do you not. You enjoy playing a game, do you not? Or do you get confused? You try to make the ball come to you so that you can kick it. This game will continue. It is nothing new. The drama shows games, and it also brings you complete success. This is the custom and system of the Brahmin clan. Achcha.
The greatest wealth of all is sympathy. Whether rich or poor, today there is no sympathy. Don’t give them anything else, but you can make them content with sympathy. And your sympathy is the real sympathy, because of your relationship of the Godly family, it is not temporary sympathy. Sympathy with a family feeling is the greatest sympathy. And everyone is in need of this, and you can give this. Do you have sympathy, or do you lack it? Have you accumulated it? Spiritual sympathy brings fulfillment. It can fulfill the needs of the body, mind, and wealth. Baba will tell you more about this later. Achcha.
You are double light are you not? Or do you sometimes carry a burden? All of you are carefree emperors – are you this sometimes, or all the time? To be a child means to be free from worry. You are the children are you not? Or have you grown up?What worries do children have? If anything comes up, give it to Baba. Those who know how to give it to Baba remain always double light. If you keep it with you for even a little while, you become heavy. You have the habit of looking after it.
All of you keep a chart do you not? Has anyone missed it? There are a few. The more you maintain attention on the self, the more you will be able to move forward, and also inspire others to move forward.
Those who experience themselves to be close to BapDada at amrit vela are close to BapDada throughout the day. They perform every action on this basis. Baba’s companionship can never be forgotten, because to be constantly with Baba means to experience yourself to be constantly combined. No-one can separate those who are combined. In the same way as BapDada is combined, you are combined with Baba. Therefore you never forget the one who is combined with you. You constantly stay in remembrance, do you not? Do you have to make effort to remember, or is there remembrance anyway? How can the one who is combined be forgotten?You do not become separate, but you do forget. Make your combined form emerge again and again, and you will not have to make effort to remember, but remembrance will be natural. Achcha.
You are having good experiences of tapasya during the year of tapasya, are you not? For how many hours do you remain in remembrance? Is it an account of hours? Do you stay constantly in remembrance, or for some hours? You call yourselves yogis – so make your life so natural that you can never forget Baba. Or do you call yourselves yogis for 8 hours? What are you for the other hours?
All of you are the sweetest of all, because you stay in Baba’s company. So what are those who stay in the company of the one who is sweet? Baba says “the children are sweet”, and the children say “Baba is sweet”.

Today, BapDada, the ocean of love, is seeing the spirituality in the features of every Brahmin child. To the extent there is the inculcation of purity in thoughts, words, and actions, accordingly the sparkle of spirituality is visible on their face. The sparkle of Brahmin life is purity. Purity is the main basis of imperishable super-sensuous happiness, and of sweet silence. Purity is number-wise, and so the experience of these attainments is number-wise. If purity is number one, the attainment you receive from Baba is also number one – the eyes with the spirituality of purity are constantly visible as clean and pure. In the eyes there is constantly the sparkle of the spiritual soul and the spiritual father.
: Today BapDada is especially seeing the shine and the sparkle of all the children. Because the main basis is purity, all of you can also see the features of your spiritual purity in the mirror of knowledge.
A Brahmachari always follows father Brahma at every step. Brahma Baba’s activity will be visible in your every footstep. The face and activity of a Brahmachari are constantly introverted and so in super-sensuous happiness. The power of their happiness and enjoyment is not based on the means of knowledge – he does not make the means his support, but uses the means for a task as part of his spiritual endeavour. If you make one or another support the basis of your progress, then when that support fluctuates, your zeal and enthusiasm also fluctuate. It is not bad to take support, but don’t make that support your foundation, or Baba is removed from in between. If your intellect is drawn more to the means and less to the spiritual endeavour, you will not receive Baba’s blessings for a task, and so your zeal and enthusiasm will depend on the success achieved through the means, and will not be constant.
Spiritual endeavour means powerful remembrance – not just sitting in yoga, but a constant relationship of the heart with the father. The heart, mind, intellect, and body should sit facing the father, with the father. This is accurate spiritual endeavour.
Wherever Baba is, the children there are always in the flying stage. When there is fluctuation, there is tiredness – sometimes you are up above, flying with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm, and sometimes you come down – you either become tired or bored. But those who are constantly with the Father, through their spiritual endeavour, experience everything to be new at the confluence age – newness at every moment, in every thought – attainment at every moment – happiness, zeal and enthusiasm.
This year pay attention to service of the self, service of the world through words and through the mind, and service of the yagya. Every service place is a yagya (sacrificial fire). BapDada keeps an account of three types of service: service through mind, words, and actions – body, mind and wealth. Even if you have no wealth, wealth is accumulated through economy – so be economical in tasks of the yagya, and the money saved is accumulated in your account. This is a subtle account – if someone creates loss, there is a burden in his account – and if he is economical, there is wealth accumulated in his account. Also, if you inspire others to make their money successful through service, you accumulate a share through that also.
Service through words is easy – you have to pay attention to service through the mind. All of you are even cleverer than the father when it comes to words. The little ones of today give even better lectures than the Dadis. It is new blood – it is good. But what will happen if the account of the mind is left empty?
Service through action does not mean simply to do cleaning and wash dishes – it means to be part of the gathering – to come into relationship and connection with others.
The side of service through words has become heavy, and the side of service through mind and actions is light, so there is not balance, and so zeal and enthusiasm also fluctuate. So pay attention to this – but do not change attention into tension – there should be easy attention, natural attention. There is natural attention in the stage of being double light – so do not complain afterwards that you did not know. Achcha.
In service, achieve more glory through less expense – the method should not be too high and it should not be too simple. If you make it very expensive, people will say that you have a lot of money, and if you make it cheap, it doesn’t have any value – so always keep it in between.
Do not stay awake at night and then say that you have become tired. Your time should be fixed – if you stay awake at night to do your work, the intellect gets tired, and amrit vela is less powerful. You should go to sleep before midnight, and then in the morning study with a fresh intellect. Even for a very essential task, the latest you should carry in with it is 11 o’clock. You should not sleep on the following day – you should sleep on the same day. BapDada is happy seeing the enthusiasm of the children, but he has to put a limit, so that the intellect is constantly fresh, and so you can finish the work of two hours in one hour.
Service should increase happiness – it enables you to claim the blessings of many souls. Do service whilst being easy – do not do service as a burden, but do not become careless either. Keep the aim that instead of using your won energy, you will use the energy of others for this Godly task. Others will give you co-operation with a lot of love, and they will come close.
To those who constantly have the spirituality of purity on their face and in their activity – to the elevated souls who are Brahmachari at every step – to those who keep all their accounts of service overflowing – to those who have the determined thought from the heart for progress – to those who make themselves the instruments to be number one in self service – to such souls loved by Baba, and especially loved by the mother, Brahma, love, remembrances, and namaste.
