Avyakt BapDada 7th March 1986

Today, the Father, the Innocent Lord, the Giver of Knowledge, the Bestower of Fortune, the Bestower of blessings f all powers, the One who fills you with all treasures, has come to meet his extremely loving, co-operative, and close children. All those sweet meetings between the Father and the children at this time, become the special occasion that are celebrated in the future. For you children, every day, every moment is filled with happiness and enthusiasm. The spiritual life, spiritual attainments, and spiritual experiences of this short Confluence Age are made into various memorials by the devotees from the copper age. Your life in this one birth become the means for hope and enthusiasm for 63 births on the path of devotion. You are such great souls.

The image and life history of the memorial, over the full 5,000 years, of what each one did, what they attained, what they became, and how they became it 5,000 years ago, is now clearly known. Your hear it, and seeing it, you smile, thinking “they are singing about us and worshipping us – they are speaking about our life history”. Everyone has seen there memorial haven’t they? They cannot make exact images of you – with loving feelings the devotees have made images in whatever way they have been touched.

: Today you are all celebrating Shiv Ratri – in reality you celebrate it every day, because the Confluence Age is the age of the incarnation of God, and, having incarnated, it is the age of the elevated task and the divine, elevated activity.

They call out “come”, whereas you say “he has come, we have found him”. This is such a huge difference – the difference between the memorial and the reality is the difference between day and night. This is the day of the Innocent Lord – why do they call him the lord of the innocent? Even though he is knowledge-full, he is innocent. He is also remembered as the Lord of the overflowing treasure store.

The four main subjects of the Confluence Age are remembered on this special day. There is importance given to the dot and the drop. The dot is the memorial of the subject of remembrance, the yoga of this time, becoming stable in the state of a dot. The drops are of knowledge, the memorial of the subject of knowledge. The memorial of dharna is the special fast they have on this day – you imbibe determined thoughts. The memorial of service is staying awake through the night – your service is to awaken people from the sleep of ignorance.

So the four subjects are remembered – they have changed shape into physical form, because no-one had the divine intellect to appreciate the subtle significance. The devotee intellect is not a subtle and refined intellect, but what BapDada refers to as the gross intellect. Although they have given it an ordinary form, God is pleased with the devotees – they are full of loving feelings, and remain single minded in any decision they make.

Also on this special day you celebrate the surrender ceremony. They surrender goats, and you surrender yourselves, the limited “I” and “mine” – this is the greatest sacrifice.

They have created a good memorial, have they not? You also say “well done” to the bhagats from your hearts – after all they are your bhagats. They are the Fathers and they are yours. It is your reign for half the kalpa – not just Laksmi and Narayan’s reign. In the same way they are your bhagats, not just BapDada’s. If you watch the devotion, you will enjoy it very much. Baba thanks the bhagats for spreading hope and enthusiasm, even if it is only for one or two days – even if it is temporary, the attention of the majority is drawn to the Father in a special way.

When you are at Madhuban your feet are not on the ground. When you return abroad, will you come down to earth, or will you always descend from above to do your work? “Above” means an elevated stage – be stable in a high stage and then do ordinary work. Baba takes an ordinary body, does he not – he performs ordinary actions, he speaks as you people speak, he moves as you do. The actions are ordinary and the body is ordinary. But while doing ordinary work, the stage remains high. You must do the same.

Every day at amrit vela, you should think that you have emerged from shantidham to do your work. At night, having done your work, you should return to shantidham. Having incarnated, you come as avatars (incarnations). Avatars incarnate to do elevated work. It is not called a birth, but an incarnation. From an elevated stage you come down. When you perform work in such a stage, ordinary actions become unique spiritual actions. Just as other people eat, you also eat – but they are said to eat food, whereas you dine on Brahma Bhojan. You move, but you move like angels – you move in that state of being double light.

The entire Confluence Age is a day of incarnation for you. BapDada receives congratulations from all four directions, and BapDada gives countless congratulations in response. You are first congratulated for recognising the Father, then there are congratulations for becoming the Father’s heirs, then congratulations for becoming tireless and unlimited servers like the Father, then congratulations for the constant and determined thoughts and elevated actions to become angels and then deities, like the Father. There are congratulations for every step, for every moment, and for every thought. You congratulate BapDada, but BapDada says “you first”. You sing the birthday song, and BapDada says “happy birthday” to you. You are being sustained by congratulations – the encouragement of the Father and of the family. With encouragement you dance and sing and fly. You encourage each other.

If someone is doing something wrong, never tell them straight out that they are wrong – you will never change them like that. You cannot extinguish a fire directly with another fire – you must apply cold water to it. First tell them what they have done right, and bring them within reach. First apply cold water and explain how they have caught fire. Then they will feel the reason for catching fire, and the method for extinguishing it. If you say straight out that something is wrong, and refer to some wrong action, you are adding fuel to the fire. Give them encouragement. Even if someone were to ask BapDada directly “am I wrong” He will not tell them – he will say “you are right” – because at that time they will not have the necessary courage. If someone’s heart is weak, and you tell them “you are dying”, they will suffer a heart failure! At that time they do not have the power to change their efforts.

So the Confluence Age is the age of expansion through encouragement – this encouragement is the elevated sustenance. To give each other encouragement is to have a large heart. It is not that you are explaining wrongly about their wrong – have some patience. An indication will have to be given, but look at their courage and find the right time. Congratulate them with loving feeling – say it with the heart. Touch them with mercy. Always give encouragement, and take encouragement – this encouragement is a blessing.

On this day there is praise of Shiva as the Lord of the overflowing treasure store – this is also your praise, not just the Father’s. As children of the Bestower, you become Bestowers and give constantly. Deities give. Give without taking. First give them courage, enthusiasm and happiness, and you will be able to persuade them to do whatever you wish.

Every day you must celebrate the auspicious occasion of meting with the Father. Achcha.

To the children from all four directions, imperishable congratulations for every day of the confluence age. To those who become bestowers of blessings like the Father, and who fill every soul; to the children who are the master lords of innocence, who perform all actions while staying in remembrance, making them into memorials; to the elevated children who move forward with hope and enthusiasm, congratulations for the birth worth diamonds, in which you beco
me complete, and congratulations for making everyone happy – love, remembrances and namaste. Om shanti.

Avyakt BapDada 4th March 1986

Today, BapDada was smiling, seeing his beloved creation of pure elevated souls. Now you are the Brahmin souls loved by the Supreme Soul, whilst in the golden and silver ages you will be supremely elevated deity souls who will be loved by all in your kingdom. From the copper age through the iron age and up to now, you are souls who are worthy of worship.

Of the three ages, it is now when you are the most elevated. You become angels. On the basis of your elevated stage at this time, you remain elevated throughout the kalpa.

The main foundation of service is love. When you become Baba’s on the basis of love, all points become clear. Those without love spend most of their time thinking “why? what? which? how?”. For those merged in love, every word Baba speaks seems to be filled with love, and questions will be clarified – even if they question something, they do so with the desire to understand. With love you can overcome all difficulties. Love brings hope and enthusiasm. Those with a small heart often become confused over little things, and small matters become big. For a big hearted person, large matters become small.

: Today it is the turn of the Americans. America’s speciality is that, on the one hand there is a great deal of preparation for destruction, and on the other there is the United Nations to bring everyone together and prevent destruction. They try to bring people together but they cannot do it. In truth, to bring the souls of all religions together as one family is really the task of you Brahmins. This is the special thing you must do. Just as the power of destruction is special, so too let the flag of establishment be revealed. Let the two flags be unfurled together, the flag of science, and the flag of silence. When the father’s flag has been unfurled in each and every corner, then it will be said that the shaktis, especially, have been revealed.

This is the Golden Jubilee year, is it not? So the golden star should be visible to everyone. When a special star shines in the sky, everyone’s attention is drawn to it. Let this sparkling golden star be visible to everyone’s intellects.

When you acquire the wings of courage and enthusiasm, you can fly wherever you wish. BapDada always praises the children seeing their courage. Through courage you have kindled one lamp from another to create a rosary. Whenever effort is made with love, the fruit that emerges is always very good. This is the speciality of co-operation between all. No matter what the situation, unity comes first – you need a gathering of love. Unity can produce fruit even on stony ground. The land is watered with love and will produce huge and tasty fruit. They have large fruit abroad, but they are not very tasty. Fruit in India is small but has good taste.

he foundations are all laid here. The centres that are watered with love are always full of fruit, in service as well as in companions. In heaven there is pure water and pure earth, and so the fruit is likewise. Here there is love, whilst there the atmosphere and the earth are pure.

Whenever someone is disturbed, they only need love. Love keeps you safe from becoming disturbed. BapDada’s greatest happiness is in seeing the return of lost children. If you have not gone there how would service have taken place? So there is benefit even in being lost, and, of course, to meet is in any case beneficial.

Everyone has met and planned a very good programme for peace. At the very least it will provide practice in silence for short periods. If someone is able to experience silence for even one minute in the correct way, that experience will pull them again and again. Everyone wants peace, but they don’t know the method, and cannot find the right company. When such souls who love peace experience peace, then they are continually attracted by it. At each place there are very elevated souls who have become instrumental for this special task. So, to show a wonder is no big thing. The special method of spreading the sound, is through the special souls of today. To whatever extent a special soul is in contact, innumerable other souls receive benefit. Through one VIP innumerable souls receive benefit. But it is the ordinary souls who come into contact and real relationship. The VIP’s in their own religion, will receive some special fruit or another. Baba likes the ordinary ones. They are the ones who can give time. The VIPs do not have time, yet because they become instruments, innumerable others receive benefit. Achcha.

Avyakt BapDada 1st March 1986

Today, BapDada is seeing the spiritual gathering of holy swans. BapDada is looking to see to what extent each has the “swan intellect”: pure elevated and good thoughts for every soul. A holy swan distinguishes clearly between pebbles and gems and takes the gems. You should never adopt a bad or ordinary attitude towards any soul – always have good wishes, a pure and benevolent attitude. Recognise the soul’s attitude accurately, and you will never be influenced by their ordinary or wasteful personality. A holy swan will, through their benevolent attitude, change the non-benevolent attitude of others. Your drishti should always be pure and elevated and loving, no matter what they are like. Bad words and waste words cannot come from the mouth of a holy swan.

So all of you should look at yourselves and see to what extent you are a holy swan. Constant attention to transformation, over a long period of time, gives you the right to the golden world. Effort is not required – simply imbibe the things Baba tells you and it will automatically emerge in a practical way.

The work of a holy swan is to imbibe. You have become knowledgeful – you have clearly understood what is wasteful and ordinary – this is the power of discrimination – discrimination comes from having a “swan intellect”.

A great deal of time is wasted when that which is waste, or wrong, is considered to be right. A lack of discrimination dissipates the power of the mind, and then a burden is accumulated through taking help from others.

Do not invert the inverted, but revert the inverted.

First gain victory over the self, then you will be victorious with everyone else and then with nature.

(Australia)

BapDada always sees the speciality of each child and praises them. What are the specialities of Australia? The pandavs are always greater in number, and it is mostly pandavs who look after centres. There are shaktis also, but there are more pandavs. The shaktis have given the pandavs a chance. It is right that such an example exists. It is not that the shaktis are behind, but the pandavs are in front. Thos who place others in front are always in front themselves. It shows the depth and breadth and maturity of the shaktis, that they have placed the pandavs in front and are urging them forward. Who are in the majority at the centres? It is the pandavs, isn’t it? This is a good example.

Consider yourself to be an instrument – through this you become incorporeal, viceless, and egoless. The attitude of being an instrument finishes the innumerable forms of “I” and “mine” very easily. This speciality is the basis of success. If there is a deficiency in this, there will be fluctuations in your stage, and you will have to make effort – effort to do service and effort to maintain a flying stage. In the beginning, because of immaturity, there is a great deal of fluctuation, but with experience you move towards a good immovable stage of upliftment.

BapDada is happy that each light is kindling another, so that innumerable lights are being kindled to make a rosary of lights. Actors on a stage pay so much attention to everything, whereas behind the curtain they do not. You are playing your part on the stage. Be a great hero actor. You should not spend your time on anything but service.

The accumulation of credit is automatic – it does not have to be calculated. Baba does not keep a register like you people do. He does not have to maintain each one’s account individually, otherwise the office would become a very huge one! Just look at those who keep accounts – they have so many files! Each one’s register, from the very beginning up to now, can be emerged within a second. It is magic. Whoever does what and in whatever stage, it is all accumulated and is in front of BapDada. Is that hilarious? Come and see in the subtle regions how everything operates automatically.

The courage of the shaktis, and the enthusiasm for service of the pandavs, are the two wings of Australia that have become very strong. On one side is courage, and on the other hope and enthusiasm, and so both wings have become strong.

The pandavs have been shown as tall and brave – your stage is like this, tall and strong. Australians are more merciful towards the wandering souls.

As much as we meet, we will want to meet more, because BapDada sees each child’s speciality. If a signal has to be given for a deficiency then he will do that, but, still, it is specialities he sees. When each and every speciality is seen, each seems more lovely than the next. You should also see each other in this way. If you have love for the Father then all Brahmin souls will seem lovely. In the rosary it will be Brahmin souls with whom you have relationship. Baba will retire and observe. In every birth you will come into relationship with each other. All are lovely because all are loved by the Father, and so you love them as well. Achcha.
