Avyakt BapDada 5th December 1979
Today, BapDada was looking at his spiritual army. BapDada saw each member of the army in their various stages of effort. Some were Maharathis (elephant riders), some were cavalry, and some were infantry.
On the forehead, that is, in the consciousness of the maharathis, the flag of victory was flying high constantly.
The flag of victory was also on the forehead of the cavalry, but not flying constantly. It was flying with the sparkle of happiness, and the intoxication of faith, but then sometimes the breeze would subside and so the flag would droop.
The infantry were very busy trying to hoist their flag, with great effort, using the rope of faith, and the intoxication of happiness. But because there were some knots of weakness, the flag would not hoist smoothly. Only after a period of time, after labouring with intense efforts, would the flag actually fly. Because of this, the sparkle and intoxication were not clearly visible.
Seeing the efforts of his children, BapDada was donating vibrations of might from afar, that is to say he was giving a signal: “do it this way”. Whilst some children could see the signal and so become successful, others were so busy in their efforts that they missed the signal completely. They didn’t have time to notice it!
And so this was how BapDada saw the three different kinds of warriors. When everyone’s flag had been hoisted, either with great effort or considerable ease, there was a showering of flowers and Baba and his children were glorified with very great splendour.
Now BapDada wants to give an easy method to those children who were labouring. Do you know why the flag of victory does not fly at the right moment, or why it does not fly constantly? Because you do not rehearse in advance, you do not have realisation. It is one thing to hear or speak about the fact that all relationships are with Baba, but to experience the benefit of all relationships is a different thing. If you were to remain lost in the experience of love and in the attainment of all relationships, then how would the whole day pass? You would detach very easily from the old world, and would be elsewhere. At each moment, in every act, you can experience some different relationship, and through this have constant yoga. At every moment take the help of different relationships with Baba.. experience them. This itself is yoga.
Why is it that you are unable to be such natural, constant yogis? At any moment Baba is committed to fulfilling any relationship. Baba is offering his company and help, but the ones who are in need do not take. Experience the relationships of Mother, Father, Friend, Companion, Beloved… if you remain devoid of any of these relationships now, you will be devoid of them for all eternity, since it is only at this stage in the cycle that the mine of all experiences is available. If not now, then never. So check yourself: is there any relationship which the soul has not yet experienced?
In the same way, take up the subject of spiritual knowledge and check whether there is any point of knowledge mentioned which you have not experienced. You talk of being spinners of the discus of self realisation, but have you had a vision of the self? If not, then how can you claim the title? To understand means to “have a vision”. Those who churn these matters over, and bring them into practice, will always have the authority of knowledge, of understanding.
Similarly, in the subject of imbibing, you talk of the various virtues, but is there the experience of each of them, and of the authority that comes from this? Are you a talker, a listener, or an authority?
A Maharathi has authority on the basis of experience. The cavalry do more listening and talking.
The main difference between bhakti (worship) and gyan (knowledge) is realisation. On the one hand talk, and on the other, practical experience. So to become a constant yogi, gain experience in taking advantage of all relationships with Baba. Experience all attainments and all points of knowledge.
Now the time for battling is over. If yo are still battling like a warrior, then you will belong to the Moon Dynasty. For Brahmins it is time to become victorious. The sanskars of victory must be present over a long period of time. Even now you can transform your fortune.
Achcha, to such constantly victorious souls; those with the authority of the experience of all relationships; those with the authority of every point of knowledge; those with the authority of the experience of each virtue; those who are all-rounders in service, and who are ever-ready and so have the authority of this speciality also; to such elevated souls who are like Baba, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

Just as the jeweller recognises the value of every jewel, so too Baba recognises the elevated stage of every child. Each jewel is more elevated than the next. You are not ordinary. Even the very last bead is not ordinary because it has the speciality of having recognised Baba. You are not the last, but you are the ones who are going first. No one’s number has yet been fixed. All the seats remain vacant. The whistle has not yet been blown. Only after the whistle blows will everyone claim their seat. Even the last one can go fast and become the first. Except for the seats of the Mother and Father, all seats are still vacant. Your fortune is in your own hands. Baba, the bestower of fortune, has put your fortune in your hands. You can create as much as you want. So take up this golden chance. No mater how much expansion of service there may be, keep yourself stable in the essence. If now you receive the instruction to become master seed, then within a second it should happen: it should not take time. Within the game of one second, you can create your fortune for the entire kalpa. Create as much as you choose.
If at the time of the final paper there is the thought “now I must have yoga in one second”, the second will pass in this thought, and you will leave the body battling, and so will come into the Moon Dynasty of the Silver Age.
When service finishes then everyone can come to Madhuban, but who will be able to come? Those who have conquered all attachment. Those whose line of the intellect is clear, because at that time no one can be called by telephone or telegram, but if the line of the intellect is clear then Baba’s call will reach them. There will be such situations that only the train you are travelling in will arrive, there will be nothing further after that. If the line is clear, then you will also find the method for reaching here, otherwise you will get stuck somewhere or another, and so this is why you need to have constant yoga over a long period of time. Yoga is the armour: one who wears armour is constantly safe. So, the dress for safety is the armour of remembrance.

BapDada smiles as he sees all his world-benefactor children. As Baba is the unlimited world benefactor, there is only one thought: ” let there be immediate benefit for all”. This is the foundation, the seed, of Baba’s thoughts. The remainder is the expansion, the tree.
In Baba’s words there is always a variety of yuktis for his children.
In his eyes there is always a searchlight for the benefit of his children.
On his forehead there is the remembrance of his benefactor children in the form of a jewel.
Every action is a benevolent one.
Similarly, the thoughts of each child must be like Baba, so that the desire and good wishes for world benefit are revealed in words, in the eyes, and in the actions of each. Let the desire and feelings for world benefit be the same. No matter what your activity is, whether running a limited household, or a service centre, there should be constant good wishes for world benefit. Emerge all the souls of the world in front of you constantly. On the basis of your remembrance, souls should appear very close, as though just in front of you, even though they may live very far away.
You use a picture of Sri Krishna depicting him as the master of the world, with the entire globe in his hand. In the same way, the souls of the entire world should appear in your forehead as though they are very near, because at this time you are the world benefactors. On the basis of your most elevated feelings and good wishes, you can send rays of peace and power to souls whilst sitting here, even though they may reside in America or some other distant land. Those who are master suns of knowledge are able to spread light in this way.
The instruments of time can conquer time and distance: aircraft can arrive quickly at a distant destination; telephone can bring distant sound very near; distant scenes can be seen on television. As you have created science, so too you can create the power of silence, through which you can hear the cries of a soul living very far away. The instruments of science can record the sound of the lips, but not the sound of the mind. It is only through the power of silence that the sound of each mind can be heard as though it were speaking in front of you. Can you visualise clearly the state of peacelessness and grief which exists presently in the mind of souls? With physical equipment, you have to plug it to a power source, then switch on, and everything will be heard and seen clearly. In the same way, plug in your connection to Baba and switch on elevated thoughts and desires so that distant souls seem very close. This is the stage of world benefactor.
The basis for all this is silence, so now you must accumulate the power of silence. Sound comes in the mind in the form of thoughts. As the sound of your wasteful thoughts stops, as the expansion of thoughts is merged and transformed into their very essence, so the power of silence will accumulate automatically.
Introversion is powerful, and extroversion is wasteful. Merge the wasteful sound of the lips and transform that into its essence, so that the power of your silence can accumulate. You will witness many wonderful proofs from the power of silence. Souls will come from a distance and say: ” you have shown me the correct path….”, “you have directed me towards my destination”, “you called me and so I have come”.
Your divine form will be visible to them clearly on the television in their forehead, so they will have the clear experience of meeting you personally. You will witness many spiritual wonders through the power of silence.
Just as in the beginning of the yagya, many experienced a very clear vision of Brahma Baba signalling to them whilst they were sitting at home, and as a result were able to find their way to the correct destination, so too all of you special benefactor souls will also be playing this unique role. But in order to achieve this the soul must be liberated from all bondages. It must be completely free. Your power should be such that it manifests in the appropriate form for a particular task, at the appropriate time. The soul free form all bondages is able to give jeevanmukti (liberation in life) to all other souls.
Do you understand how high the destination is, the height you must attain?
The form of unlimited service is so elevated, but through this you become liberated from all other labours. However there must be this one effort.
Do you possess such courage?
Achcha, to such constantly powerful souls, those table in one elevated thought, in one elevated stage of consciousness; those who are like Baba, constantly world benefactors, those constantly lost in the love of the One; to such elevated souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
(pandavas)
Even if someone defames you, or tells lies about you, there should be no trance of anger. Brahmins should show mercy to those who have been causing damage. Even as they are defaming, embrace them. This is the wonder. This is called transformation. If someone is embracing you and you respond, then that is nothing special. But if someone is defaming you, and yet still you accept them as your friend, not merely with words, but with your thoughts, then this is something special. When there is such transformation taking place your fame will spread throughout the world. You must prove that which the entire world considers impossible, and then they will agree and say “yes, this is a wonder”.
In the pandavs there is bossiness and anger. Let there be no body consciousness, and no anger. A Brahma Kumar means one with absolute humility. Have you renounced anger, or do you still use it like a weapon sometimes? Even if there are insults or false allegations against you, there should be no anger.
(shaktis)
Do the shaktis stay in the consciousness of Baba, and no third one in-between? Is there any third one remembered?…. Just Baba and I, the child… Baba and I. Stay in this intoxication. Has the shakti army become the conqueror of attachment? Is there attachment to the limited home, or to children? Whatever happens, stay free from attachment. Be the observer, and watch the scenes of drama.
(all?)
Do you constantly remember the three relationships: the Father gives you the inheritance, the teacher gives you the study, and the Satguru shows you the path back home and gives his company for the return journey.
Devotees say that when God is pleased He removes the roof and showers all things. He is even lifting you beyond the physical element of ether. The devotees only talk about it, but here, practically, the One who lives beyond the five elements is giving you everything, and so how fortunate you are!

BapDada is seeing every child as an infinitely fortunate soul. The elevated fortune of each souls is before Baba constantly. Although all are numberwise, according to their effort, even the very last child is considered praiseworthy for the rest of the world. Even today the devotees are longing for a vision of you souls who come numberwise into the deity religion. From the very beginning you souls are the most fortunate and most worthy. BapDada has pride and intoxication even for the last of the rosary of the 16,000 beads, no matter what they may be like. Whether their efforts are intense, average, or careless, they nevertheless belong to Baba and so become worthy of worship and praise. Iron has been transformed into diamond through coming into the company of the Alchemist.
Never underestimate the value of self respect. Do not come into the arrogance of the body. There should never be the slightest thought of bossiness. One who stays in the stage of self respect will never allow arrogance to come. There will constantly be humility. The more self respect, the more humility. The one who has self respect will show respect to all others. The one who has self respect will be a bestower, constantly giving respect to young and old, enlightened and unenlightened, conquerors of Maya or those under the influence of Maya, those who are virtuous and those who have a few defects. Because the soul is complete, full, it will always be merciful. The one with self respect, the merciful bestower, will uplift others, will uplift those who have fallen or who are wavering. There will be no thoughts of blame or superiority.
The stage of self respect is the stage of “punya atma” (charitable soul). A punya atma transforms the sins of another. Never see defects, but see merits, and in this way transform the defects into wonders.
The firs of destruction can break out at any time. Everything should be completed beforehand. Nature is also waiting with anticipation. She wants to become your slave and servant. The servant, naturally, has to await the command of its master. So constantly stay in the stage of being the master.
Achcha, BapDada’s love remembrance and namaste.
(kumars)
All of you are messengers. Wherever you go, whoever you make contact with, give them Baba’s introduction. Continue to sow seeds. Never think that we have spoken to so many and yet only 2 or 4 came. Some seeds germinate quickly and bear fruit whilst some seeds bear fruit only according to the season. The seeds are imperishable and so they will definitely bear fruit. So continue to sow seeds, that is continue to give the message. Let there be the balance of remembrance and service together and then you will remain blissful.
The more you remain busy in service the more you will become conquerors of Maya, so do not allow yourselves to remain unoccupied. Kumar means free from the bondages of lokik responsibilities, and free from the bondages of Maya. Let the kumars become the image of the fire of yoga and set everything ablaze, so that destruction comes quickly.
For kumaris it is said that one Kanya is higher than 100 Brahmins, but how much more elevated are the kumars? They show one kumar in the company of seven shaktis, and so you are more elevated than 700 Brahmins.
(mothers)
Mothers receive a special lift from Baba. With a little effort on your part, Baba gives 1000 fold help. From a life in which there never was any hope, there is now a life full of all hopes. While the world stumbles around, you have now reached your destination.
As the shaktis reach their own stage of the shakti form, so the vibrations will spread all around. Shaktis are fearless, not even afraid of Maya. Even if Maya comes in the fearsome form of a lion, yet the shaktis have been shown fearless, riding the lion.
(kumaris)
Kumaris are Baba’s service hands. You are all the arms of Brahma. Are all of you ready for this. Are you carrying a basket of burdens on your head, or are you wearing the crown? All of you are cooperative and follow directions. Kumaris are the ones who are constantly content. Just as you are free from all other bondages, so too be free from the bondage of Maya. Let the kumaris be constantly double light, the soul neither burdened by the bondage of karma, nor by the burden of old sanskars. Kumari means constantly free in all ways, not just in bodily relationships, but free from the mind as well. In this way you will become light. Remembrance is the method for becoming light. If anything does come, then do not care about it. Take a high jump and the situation will be left down below. If you are light then you can take a very big jump.
