Avyakt BapDada 9th December 1985
Today, BapDada is watching his powerful spiritual army, observing how far they have become conqueror of the mind, conqueror of the world. To conquer the mind means to conquer waste thoughts and negative thoughts. The more you are able to keep your mind under control, the more you become worthy to claim the kingdom of the world.
Now you are the children of God. The children of God will become masters of the world. You have to renounce limited mastery and adopt the consciousness of being a child. Such a child becomes a master. On the path of bhakti they always say “we are your children” but they never say “we are masters”. You Brahmin children are Baba’s children and now you are carefree kings, and in future you become emperors and masters of the world. This consciousness of being “child to master” brings the experience of being always egoless and incorporeal.
To become a child means to transform the limited life. When you became a Brahmin you learnt to say “Baba” and the father said “bachcha” (child). The lesson of just this one word “child” makes you full of knowledge, not just of this world, but the three worlds. Everything is contained in the phrase “father and child”. Just as an entire tree is merged within the seed, a child of Baba is safe from maya forever. Constant remembrance is constant safety.
You are still living in the old body, but cremate your old sanskars. Cremate your old nature. Don’t let a ghost reappear. To say “these are my old sanskars ” is to cheat yourself. If you like old things then remember the original, the oldest sanskars, of the beginning. Become a child and you will will naturally remember being a master. To become a child means to unload the burden, to be light.
To those who always have the spiritual intoxication of being a child and master, the awareness of being a carefree king: love, remembrances, and namaste from BapDada.

Today, there are two gatherings of loving children in front of BapDada – children present in corporeal form, and children present in avyakt form. Children have taken their subtle forms and have come from all directions to celebrate a meeting with Baba, the Ocean of Love. They are revealing their love before BapDada. Listening to the different feelings of their hearts, Baba is hearing the children saying the sweetest things, while claiming their rights, on the basis of the relationship of love.
BapDada listens to the heart in three ways – the language of the eyes, the language of feelings, and the language of thoughts. The language of lips is ordinary, but the language of spiritual life takes three forms. The spiritual children and the spiritual father understand and experience this. The more you stabilise yourself in sweet silence, by turning inwards, the more you will be able to give other souls that experience through these three powerful divine languages.
The language of lips is limited and takes time, but through the language of the eyes you can simply give a signal. The language of the feelings is clearly revealed on the face – you can clearly see whether they have love, animosity, or selfishness. Their feelings speak through their features. The language of thoughts is the most elevated language, because the power of thought is the most elevated power, the foundation of all powers. The language of thought travels fastest of all, and distance is no barrier. Ultimately it is the language of thought that will be useful. When all instruments of science have failed, then you will use this instrument of silence.
But the line has to be kept clear. Practice keeping yourself constantly busy thinking of the one father, the knowledge from that one, and the service you do with that knowledge. The line will be kept clear with these elevated thoughts. Wasteful thoughts are disturbing: the more you finish waste, and the more there is only powerful thoughts, the clearer will be the experience of the elevated language of thoughts.
The language of thoughts can give you a greater experience than the language of lips, and instantaneously. The essence of a three minute lecture can be shared within a second through the language of thoughts. The language of introspective souls is divine.
The three spiritual languages require less labour and less time, and they produce more success. So practice using spiritual language.
BapDada is merging the children’s love into the ocean of love. In return for the remembrances of all he gives elevated blessings: may you become the form of your remembrance, and may you be constantly powerful. Baba’s pure wishes are the pure desires of all the children. At present the pure desires and pure feelings are to give co-operation. All your pure wishes will be fulfilled.
Sometimes as the children move along, old karmic accounts come in front of them as tests. Sometimes there is sickness of the body, sometimes storms of upheaval in the mind, or in relationships. Even souls who are very close come into some light forms of conflict. But these old accounts just come to be settled, so don’t be disturbed. Let the intellect be very powerful and settle the old debt. Experience settlement, not punishment. If the intellect lacks power, then a burden will be felt, there will be misjudgement, and the soul starts to go down. Instead of the debt being settled, it continues and even increases. So, to settle old debts, keep the intellect constantly clear and light. The burden is waste thoughts of “why?”, “what?”, and “maybe”. Be double light, and not double burdened with both past accounts and waste thoughts. Finish the burden of the intellect forever. Keep your intellect light through the power of yoga.
The Lord is pleased with a true heart. The soul with a true heart always experiences satisfaction and contentment, and will be successful in service.
To those children in all directions who are constantly experiencing self progress, BapDada is giving blessings: may this continue. BapDada is giving greetings to all the children: may you be constantly victorious in your life’s elevated efforts. Love, remembrances, and namaste.

Tody BapDada is seeing the power of spirituality in His spiritual children. Every child is a spiritual child and so has complete right to spiritual power from the spiritual father. Baba was seeing to what extent souls have become the embodiment of this attainment. Every day the spiritual father give love and remembrances. All children calling themselves spiritual children give the reply of “namaste” or “love and remembrances” ether through their lips or through their mind. The return is given, the words are repeated, but the significance of this is that every day the spiritual Father calls you his spiritual children to remind you of your true spiritual power. It is with this power of spirituality that you transform yourself and all others. The main foundation is spiritual power. This power liberates you from numerous physical bonds.
In the creation of the world, three tasks are essential: establishment, sustenance, and destruction. So too, liberation from all bonds requires three aspects of spiritual power: thought, words, and action. There has to be the experience of spirituality in all three. If the soul is skillful and accurate in all three, then it is jeevanmukt (liberated in life).
BapDada is seeing the subtle bonds that these three aspects are connected to: a soul in bondage is constantly under the influence of others, constantly dependant. They will not experience constant inner happiness. In the world outside temporary supports supports can give temporary happiness, but not eternal happiness. In Brahmin life a soul caught in bondage will experience joy for a short time through the support of service, or through the support of the power of the gathering, or the support of some elevated attainment, or the support of elevated company. While there is support there is happiness, but when the support finishes, the happiness also finishes, and there is not a constant stage of stability. Sometimes they dance with such happiness that it seems no-one is equal to them. But when they stop. a little stone is as bad as a mountain. There isn’t the original power.. They danced with happiness on the basis of external support, so when the support is removed, how can they dance? So internal spiritual power is essential in all three aspects.
The main bondage is that the soul lacks the power to control thoughts, and so is in bondage to its own thoughts. There is the experience of dependance and outside influence. The souls remains busy in its own thought for a long time. They build imaginary castles, and then pull them down. A huge, high wall is built, and so there is the expression “building castles in the air”. In bhakti they worship images, decorate them, and go and drown them. In the same way a soul caught in the bondage of many thoughts creates many things, destroys them, and tires itself in this wasteful activity. Then the heart shrinks and loses hope. Sometimes there is even arrogance, and one’s own mistakes are blamed on others. The most bitter bondage is the bondage of the mind, because the intellect is locked, and they will not understand even if you try explaining to them.
The speciality of the confluence age is to swing in the swing of supersensuous joy, to dance constantly with happiness. If there is bondage of the mind, the power of realisation finishes, and there cannot be this experience of supersensuous joy. This is the sign of subtle bondage of the mind.
There may be bondage to waste thoughts, to thoughts of jealousy and conflict, thoughts of carelessness or laziness. So today Baba was seeing these bondages, seeing how many liberated souls there are. The thick ropes are finished, but the subtle threads remain – they are thin but they are good at tying you. At such times the soul doesn’t know it is tied, because the bondage brings temporary intoxication. Someone physically intoxicated might be unaware of having fallen, he may be in a gutter, yet thinks he is in a palace – his hands are empty but he thinks he is a king. Someone with temporary intoxication never considers themselves to be wrong – they constantly try to prove they are right. Or they are careless and allow it to continue, saying “oh well, such things always happen”.
Only the bondage of thought has been mentioned today. Bondage of words and actions will be taken up another time.
Continue to experience freedom through spiritual power. To experience jeevanmukti at the Confluence Age is to claim jeevanmukti for the future. No prepare yourselves quickly. Others are liberated through your liberation.
Scientists are trapped in bondage to their equipment. Political leaders want freedom, but have so many thoughts they cannot fulfil. Some want liberation from poverty, some liberation from the household, but the sound from everyone is the same. Everyone is crying out for liberation. So be bestowers and show others the path to liberation.
Perhaps you think this is the Fathers task? It is you, not the Father, who are to claim the reward. It is you, not Baba, who want subjects and devotees. In the copper age you will be the first devotees to worship the Father, and whatever you do, others will follow. So listen to their cries now, and bestow liberation. Achcha.
To those who attain liberation on the basis of spiritual power; those who free themselves from subtle bonds and become bestowers of liberation, who constantly experience internal joy and supersensory happiness, and enable others to move forward; those who constantly have the pure desire to grant liberation to all other souls; to those souls with such spiritual power, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
