Avyakt BapDada 20th February 1988
Today, Baba the foreigner has come to meet the children who are foreigners for the sake of service. BapDada understands that my long lost and now found children of the eternal land, paramdham, were also the children on this land of Bharat when it was the kingdom of the self – our own land. On this land of Bharat you children ruled together with the Father, Brahma. You passed many births in your own kingdom filled with peace and happiness – many lives were spent in this way. So your heart has love for this land of Bharat. Bharat has become filled with mud and dust yet still one’s own land is one’s own land. Every soul here had many births in Bharat. Those who are close to Brahma, who are going to become equal to the Father, play a part with the father Brahma of being worshipworthy, and also the worshippers. The first bhagats of the copper age were you the Brahmin souls.
BapDada is responsible for service. You are light, free from responsibility, aren’t you? Are you light? The Father works through others, through avyakt Brahma, to carry out service. You are dancing like puppets on a string. Service is a dance. The one who is working through others is doing it all. The Father carries the burden – to him it is nothing at all – it is done already – as easy as drawing a line. You are simply repeating something. The children are instruments playing a game. Just as the obstacles of Maya are a game, service also is not labour, but just a game. By thinking of it in this way there is refreshment in service – one participates with interest and heart. By thinking of it as a duty, there is tiredness. Let the intellect always be light.
BapDada has been watching all the plans and programmes of the children from the subtle region. BapDada has a record of all times – each child’s remembrance and service – BapDada’s facilities are more refined than the facilities of science. The subtle region is light itself – the facilities of the subtle region are not the facilities of matter – matter keeps changing its form, from sato to rajo through to tamo. At this moment in time nature is tamoguni, and so the facilities of science operate today and will not function tomorrow. But the facilities of the subtle region are beyond matter and so they cannot be changed. Whenever you want, however you want, the subtle facilities can be used automatically. BapDada can see the record of all of the children at all times.
You make time for service, and are given more time than is actually required, as a discipline – it is very good to give time in service, and you receive power from service. Because you remain busy in service you are saved from the influence of many little things. BapDada is pleases seeing the service of the children, and Baba surrenders himself with love seeing their courage. But if service causes a block in the progress of remembrance, then reduce the time of service. Go to sleep earlier and then the morning hour of nectar will be good – the intellect will remain fresh. Otherwise the conscience bites. A fresh intellect will do in one hour what a tired intellect takes two or three hours to do. So keep the intellect fresh. Give the body the essential hours of sleep it needs.
Just as you make time for service, make time for remembrance. Remembrance is essential, and the body should also be given rest. The task of service, day by day, will become newer and newer, and bigger and bigger. So always maintain balance. Let there be freshness in the early morning hours of nectar. When the intellect is tired you are not able to do as much as you would like to, and also tiredness will bring irritability, and will reduce happiness. The bodies are old ones. Do a lot – do a great deal – but with balance. Don’t let anything affect your chart of remembrance. To remove tiredness, every hour or two have powerful remembrance. Make time for this.
Your remembrance is not constantly powerful, because the link keeps breaking, and then it takes time and labour to rejoin the link. So instead of becoming powerful you become weak – there is remembrance but it is not powerful. You won’t return to forgetfulness will you? Only allow powerful automatic remembrance to remain constant. Ensure that the link doesn’t break. At all times let the intellect experience the link of remembrance. This is essential – give it your energy.
Seeing how busy the children are, Baba thinks their heads should be massaged: make time and come to the subtle region and Baba will massage your heads! That will be alokik – it will not be mundane, but will make you fresh. Even one second of powerful remembrance makes mind and body fresh. Just come to the subtle region – whatever is the thought you have will be fulfilled. Baba has come to remove all tiredness. And so: service AND remembrance.
: Today Baba is isn’t speaking a murli, but is speaking personally to the double foreigners, having a heart to heart conversation. You have done very god service and you will continue to do this – service will continue to increase. Just as remembrance is the nourishment of Brahmin life, so is service also the nourishment of Brahmin life. But balance is essential. Don’t do so much that there is burden on the intellect. Neither carelessness nor a burden – this is what is meant by balance.
Baba sees the double foreign children doing their double task, lokik and alokik, and moving forward. You give time to your double task, and you use the intellect and body – this is also wonderful. To move forward in alokik service even whilst doing a lokik task – that takes courage. BapDada always gives help to children who are courageous.
Are you liberated from Maya? Free? If you are accurately linked in yoga – yogyukt – then you are automatically liberated from Maya. Does Maya ever come? Maya also loves Brahmin souls. The powerful enjoy the company of the powerful, so Maya enjoys playing a game with you. Never allow the mind to become tired, even if the body is weak – happiness of the mind removes even tiredness of the body, but a tired mind increases the tiredness of the body. If ever you get tired, come to the Father’s region, the subtle region, within a second. You should always experience, as you move along, that the One who is making you move is inspiring you and giving you energy to do this. Karavanhar, the one who inspires and works through others, is doing the work and making everything happen.
Continue to do service according to time and energy – with a true heart and love in the heart. Whatever service needs to be done will definitely happen – it cannot remain undone – some soul or other will be touched and BapDada will help you children. Yogi children will always receive co-operation in some form or another. The Lord is pleased with those who have a true and honest heart.
To those who are constantly balanced with remembrance and service, who claim a right to Baba’s blessings, who are constantly like the Father, and who remain double light; to those who constantly maintain a link of powerful remembrance, who give others refreshment with the power of remembrance, and fulfill every karma according to the right system; to those who are achieving elevated success, to such most elevated, close souls, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.
