Avyakt BapDada 28th November 1979
Today, BapDada was looking at the children of the last kalpa, those who are long lost and now found again, that lucky handful out of millions, those who have recognised Baba, that sepcial group which is claiming its inheritance.
: Today Baba was looking in particular at those who are living in the family: householders. Baba was seeing children everywhere in the context of their household, and their workplace, and their families, and checking the extent to which they remained beyond the effect of impure (tamoguni) matter and other difficulties. He was also watching the effect of the unstable political situation.
Viewing all this, he saw how wonderful some children are, how they remain detached while living within the household. Keeping Baba as their constant companion, and playing their part as observers, they serve as practical examples before the world. They constantly experience the protective umbrella of Baba’s remembrance, and are safe from the battle with Maya’s numerous forms of attraction. Seeing such totally unique children who are detached from the whole world, Baba was singing their praises. Baba saw some children who, whilst living in their households, constantly kept the company of the truth, and so were constantly pleasing to the Lord. Those who understand the significance of being detached yet loving are constantly able to remain content, and to make their households content. They also make BapDada content. They never need to appoint a judge for themselves or for those in their connection, because there is never a case created.
If you have a problem then sit with Baba and a decision can be made in one second. The situation should be clarified and merged so that it goes no further. If it were to come to the attention of a third person, it would definitely spread. The more something spreads, the greater the significance that is attached to it. A spreading fire causes greater and greater damage. Fire must be extinguished there and then, and not allowed to spread. There should be nothing which is allowed to spread through the family to other souls. If there is dissatisfaction with the self or with other souls, then it is because the significance of some aspect of knowledge has been missed. When you appoint a lawyer, then even a tiny matter becomes a large case. By speaking to a third the matters of your household will circulate outside. So you yourself should arrive at an instant decision. Other than Baba, there should be no third one consulted.
It is good to have the relationship of husband and wife with Baba, but some think that because the husband is incorporeal and the wife corporeal, the two are not able to meet to a sufficient extent. Sometimes the meeting, takes place and at other times it does not. Sometimes the heart to heart conversation takes place and sometimes it doesn’t. And because a reply is not received, it becomes necessary to appoint a judge. Baba can make you fly in one second to the subtle regions, but you must be able to leave the corporeal region. The meeting place is the angelic region, and the time is fixed by a set appointment. So why does the meeting not take place? You try to carry mud with you: the mud is this body. Yes, when you want to use the mud, use it, but at the time of the meeting it is necessary to renounce the consciousness of the body. Your costume should be the same as Baba’s. Always wear this costume and then you will arrive at the meeting place. This costume is fire-proof and water-proof and safe from Maya. It is also beyond the influence and thoughts and vibrations of the old world.
You have been given such a beautiful costume and yet you do not wear it. Do you prefer your old costume? Only when the partners are alike in their sparkling costumes, can there be an accurate meeting in the sparkling region. The relationship of husband and wife is so intimate, so loving, that they are able to communicate with just a signal. In fact, even without a signal there is communication through subtle thoughts.
Where there is a relationship of such love, is it necessary to place a third one in the middle? To allow a third one to come means to waste time and energy. Yes, share the contents of your meetings and your heart-to-heart conversations with each other. Those who are alike are able to co-operate in this way. But do not take on the role of judge in your conversations with each other. Set aside all judges and make yourself content. Once your partner is chosen, why have anyone else interfere? To introduce a third one means to get lost in the ocean, and the husband has to come and rescue you.
If you do not even know how to change your costume, how can you change the world?
Achcha, to those who constantly understand the significance of all things; those who move accurately with knowledge of all methods; those who constantly maintain an intimate relationship, and so are ever-content, and bring contentment to all others; those who experience constantly the happiness of the meeting; those who are always Baba’s companions, who are always the observer; to such children, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.

Baba has entered the corporeal form and become like all his children in order to give them the return of their love and remembrance. BapDada is always loving and obedient to his children. When children call, Baba comes and takes a similar form.
All the children have love for Baba also. When they come running from distant lands to stay in Madhuban, they are giving proof of their love. So you have love for Baba and he has love for you. His constant desire for all the children is that they should become equal, that is to say like Baba. In the same way that Baba show his love by becoming corporeal, you must show your love by becoming subtle and angelic like Baba. Imbibe Baba’s virtues and become a master of all his qualities. This is called giving the return of love.
: Today BapDada was watching the game of his loving children. In the early hours of nectar, when all souls are able to fly like birds, faster even than rockets, faster than the speed of sound, all arrived at their places of departure. Just as aircraft arrive at airports, you souls were arriving at your spiritual airports. All were aiming for the same destination and had the same set of instructions. The aim was to fly, the instruction was to depart in one second, and the destination was to achieve equality with Baba.
But what happened? …
When the aircraft constructed by scientists are being prepared for take-off, the equipment is first checked and then supplies are loaded: food, oxygen, fuel, etc. Only then will the aircraft take off. In the same way, the “spiritual aircraft”, that is the Brahmin souls, arrived at their point of departure, but disregarding their instruction to fly in one second, spent time in checking. Some were checking to ensure that “I am a soul, not a body”, and others were in the second stage of refuelling themselves: occupied in churning knowledge and filling themselves with all powers. There was the pure thought that “I am the master embodiment of knowledge, the master almighty authority”, but they did not take on these forms. Very few were able to follow their instructions to take off within one second, and fly to the subtle regions or to the soul world.
Just as Baba is able to come and go in one second, so too can Brahmin souls, the mahatmas (great souls). When you desire, be a karma yogi. When you desire, be a resident of the soul world. When you desire, be a resident of the subtle regions. The choice is yours. At this time you are master of the three worlds. A master can return home whenever he chooses.
The thought of some children reaches Baba..”Baba is totally free from the bondage of the body, whilst we still have bondage of the body and of karma accounts!”. However, Baba asks a question: have you not yet renounced everything including your body? This is the first promise of all children, that “body, mind, and wealth are all yours and not mine”. If it is mine and not yours then how can there be this bondage? BapDada has merely given this on loan. You are trustees for this and not the owners. If there has been a living death and rebirth, the account of 83 births is closed, and the new 84th birth is taken. This birth can be compared with no other. In this divine birth there is no bondage, only relationship. This is not a birth of karma bondage, but of karma yoga. In this divine spiritual birth, the brahmin soul is free and independent. Only when you change “yours” to “mine” do you fall back into dependance and bondage again. How is the first sanskar created? By remaining free, independent, and in the consciousness that this body is only taken on loan. in this way you can fly in one second.
You have given the promise that “wherever you sit me, there I will remain; whatever you ask of me will be done”. So are you a soul in bondage of karma accounts, or a soul who is in bondage of Baba? Baba has given directions that action must be performed, but there should be the feeling that it is the lord and master who is inspiring us to move. You are moving, but only through his inspiration. This was the special dharna (imbibing) of your Mama, Saraswati. The soul moves only on the strength of srimat (supreme directions). It was on the basis of this that she gained top place. So follow the father and the mother.
What happens is that you yourselves emerge a net of waste thoughts: “this is the settling of karma accounts”; “this is the bondage of sanskars”. Having spread this net, you become entangled in it, and then call out “free me”. Baba replies: “you are already free – let go of the net and you will find yourself liberated”.
The body has been renounced, there has been the living death. The body remains now only for the service of the world. Baba is filling power in these old bodies now and takes up responsibility for their functioning. When this is rightly Baba’s responsibility why do you take all the burden upon yourself? Although you are not able to fulfil this responsibility, still you are not prepared to renounce it! So now renounce this responsibility, that is, renounce the consciousness of “my”.
Conquer Maya in this way and you will be able to conquer matter, to utilise matter without coming into its bondage. Only the one who conquers matter can become the conqueror of the world. Then the instruction to remain stable in the bodiless stage can be carried out instantly and with great ease.
So Baba was watching the game of the children very cleverly transforming “yours” into “mine”. Maya, in its royal form, casts a spell over the soul, and the soul itself remains totally unaware of what is happening. Now liberate yourself from the numerous bondages and come into the relationship of the one Baba, and in this way you will remain ever-ready for takeoff. The thought emerges, and instantly you become bodiless. Rehearse this, especially when you are busy. Stay in the consciousness that you are a trustee, liberated from bondage.
Achcha, to such souls who remain constantly free from bondages, and who like Baba utilise matter when they choose to, who are conquerors of matter, trustees of thoughts and sanskars, who are beyond consciousness of the body…. to such world benefactors, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

(to Madhuban residents)
Today there is a group of servants. To be a resident of Madhuban is to be a servant. Brahma Baba, a resident of Madhuban, is the main “World Servant”, and so too the other residents of Madhuban are “servants”. Unlimited servants must possess unlimited virtue. You saw how in Baba, his glance, his vision, was unlimited; his speech, his every word, was unlimited; only hearing and speaking that which was beyond limitation. Coming into contact or relationship with others, there were no limitations. Each thought even was for unlimited benefit. In his sanskars there was unlimited renunciation and tapasya. He was the embodiment, the image, of tapasya, at every second; unlimited tapasya, not the tapasya of two or three hours. From the face of the corporal father, you always saw renunciation, tapasya, and service, You call Brahma Baba the “Father of Madhuban”. Are the other residents of Madhuban following the father? Others sing the praise of Madhuban residents, and so are you the embodiment of all virtues? Is there stability in this unlimited stage of consciousness.
Aladin’s lamp is very famous because through this all were able to see and obtain as much treasure as they desired. Madhuban residents are Alladin’s lamps, the ones who, in a second, reveal the home (the soul world) and the kingdom (the Golden Age). They are the ones who bestow mukti and jeevanmukti. So how great your praise is. Does each one move in the consciousness of that greatness?
When a bomb explodes, the entire surroundings are transformed. Now the residents of Madhuban should make preparations for the explosion of such a powerful “bomb”. This should be prepared whilst here, “underground”, in Madhuban . The more subtle and refined something is, the more power is latent in it. The object so tiny, yet the task so immense. So develop some new means by which vibrations are spread throughout the world.
Each one has the thought “it should be like that” but what is the barrier that prevents that thought from becoming practice? There are waste thoughts “it will only be like that at the end, meanwhile these things will continue because everyone still has weaknesses”. These create a brick wall which prevents you from increasing the speed of your efforts. However, with one determined thought, you can high-jump this wall. Let everyone have the feeling that “I must be the one who does this!”. Change the words from “it should be like that” to “I will do it” and show everyone. Don’t look at others. Don’t listen to others. If each one individually had such thoughts, then coming together as a total gathering would be such an experience.
Madhuban is the highest tower in the whole world. It is visible from all around, form far and near. The vision of all is drawn towards it because it is so elevated. This is the special unlimited service of Madhuban. Follow Brahma Baba at every step.
If you wait to see what others are doing then you will get left behind. But if you begin something then others will automatically follow. Be the embodiment of remembrance whatever form of service you are doing, even whilst making chapatis. Serve the world through the mind.
It is not difficult to see the mistakes of others, but it is less easy to see one’s own mistakes. Even if another is making mistakes, do not be coloured by their company, but do what is right. Use the power to merge everything within the self. Don’t even listen to, or hear things about others, or carelessness will develop. There should be neither wasteful words, actions, not company. Wasteful company erodes both your time and your power.
Even if another is insulting you, at that time you should become a saint. If someone is defaming you then garland them with flowers. If there is the fire of conflict with someone, then pour on the water of love and that fire will be extinguished. Don’t pour oil on the fire.
Humility is your armour. With humility, there will automatically be love and co-operation.
Right up to the end some will have the sanskars of servants, and others the sanskars of rulers. Don’t expect others to change their sanskars, but remain beyond their influence. Remain the observer, detached like a lotus. What harm can others do then? Let them continue to speak, but you don’t have to listen.
Constantly stay within the guidelines of the Brahmin code of conduct and disciplines, and take any decisions from this platform. Become knowledgeful, so that conflict is avoided, even though sanskars remain different. If someone is doing wrong, consider them to be under external influences, and help to transform them with your own merciful vision. Don’t get involved in discussion. Even if you lack the courage to assist others, at least don’t stop at the obstacles yourself. If you do see others, then only see their specialities. Don’t renounce others, but renounce the weaknesses in your own vision. Contact with others is unavoidable, and so see only their specialities. If contact is unnecessary, then see only Baba.
Let each one be determined to be the image of tapasya. Now the time for correcting others through speech or thoughts has passed. Now the season of co-operation with pure thoughts and good wishes has arrived. Continue to move forward, and help others as well.
Achcha, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
