Avyakt BapDada 22 November 1979

Today Baba is checking to see the extent to which each child has filled themselves with sense and with essence (“roop” and “basant”): that is knowledge and powers.

: Today BapDada was also conducting a “spiritual drill” to check the extent to which the entire gathering can, in one second, unite in a single thought, and hence transform the vibration of the atmosphere. Each maharathi practises this transformation with their own vibrations numberwise, but to complete the task of world transformation, there must be one single thought from the entire gathering. Each finger of thoughts is needed.

When rosewater is sprinkled, the fragrance pervades the entire atmosphere in one second. All would experience that lovely fragrance without even the desire to do so, and would ask “where is that fragrance coming from?”. Similarly, in a second, spread the fragrance of the various powers, of peace, of bliss, of love, throughout the whole gathering. Let the beauty of this fragrance spread in all directions so that all souls come to experience it and ask “from where is this fragrance coming?”. If someone who is peaceless experiences peace, or if one who is thirsty receives water, then the eyes open and they regain consciousness. In the same way the vibrations of the essence of peace and bliss will open the third eyes of the blind and of the children of the blind. Those who are unconscious in ignorance will regain consciousness and will ask: “who are these people?”.

Are you able to to practice this spiritual drill? Even the rajoguni rishis and munis of the copper age could spread vibrations of peace all around themselves through the power of their yoga with the Brahm element. They are your creations since you are the Master Creators at this time. Just as they would spread peace throughout the limited jungles, so too are you Raja Yogis not able to spread vibrations of peace, power, and bliss throughout this unlimited jungle? Now maintain this determined thought constantly. The practice for this has begun already with monthly international yoga hours, but now this practice should be increased.

At present success is flying ahead at the level of spreading knowledge through spiritual fairs, conferences, and yoga training camps. But now begin flying service at the level of yoga by becoming the embodiment of the power of remembrance, of the power of elevated thoughts. Consider new methods of attaining this. Only when the balance of sense and essence is achieved in service can the end come.

The sacrificial fire has been established and so this is the symbol for creation. This yagya has been established, and only when there is the final sacrifice in the fire of swaha (total sacrifice) through the determined thought of all Brahmins present in the gathering, can there be the completion of the Yagya. Only then will the task of world transformation be complete.
When there is swaha, when there is total renunciation, then instead of cries of distress there will be gasps of amazement. Then there will be transformation.

Do you know how to sacrifice totally? Only when all the barley and sesame seeds are sacrificed is the yagya regarded as complete. And so, only when all old sanskars and traits have been sacrificed in the total gathering can this Yagya be completed. When a yagya is nearing completion then all will sacrifice together, and only then is the yagya regarded as having been successful. If the sacrifice of even one is not completed then this is regarded as ominous. So what is the effort that must be made? To sacrifice all as a total gathering.

What is happening at present? Now if someone says “finish this off, sacrifice it” what happens? Instead of sacrificing, there is a debate, a discussion. The debate is a very god one and its topic is always “why and how?”. On his “radio” in the subtle regions BapDada hears many such discussions from one broadcasting station or another. What is this form and behaviour like? In your world they show the antics of Mickey Mouse on television, sometimes with his eyes popping out, sometimes open-mouthed, sometimes racing, sometimes crashing down, sometimes slipping off a ladder, sometimes blown by storms and unable to remain upright. One second he is laughing, and the next there are tears. BapDada witnesses many such games. As you are hearing all this you are laughing, but if you were only to laugh at yourself at the time that you are indulging in those things then the end would come! As yet, you are unable t o make the final sacrifice.

If for any reason there are sanskars remaining which someone is unable to sacrifice with their own will-power, then you should offer co-operation and help to them as a total gathering. In what way?….. If someone is doing or saying something, and the one who is watching turns their attention elsewhere, then the activity or speech of the first will come to a halt. If someone is singing or dancing but there is no-one present to appreciate it, then their activity will come to a halt. So give co-operation in this way. This is also part of “total sacrifice”. Only when you become co-operative to this extent, can there be world transformation through the power of the gathering. Together with sense there must be essence.

At present there is generally more sense than essesce. “Sense” means understanding the points of knowledge. “Essence” means to be the embodiment of all powers, that is the embodiment of remembrance, and being in a powerful stage of consciousness.

Because there is only sense, even points of knowledge are subject to debate. Now become the essence of all powers, and reduce this expansion of knowledge to its essence, applying it in practical daily life. In this way expansion and discussion will automatically finish and there can be total sacrifice very speedily. Then you will always remain in the wonder of Baba and in the wonder of the self. Everything is merged within this!

So, have the balance of sense and essence. Let there be sacrifice at every second. Let thoughts be sacrificed for service, words for world benefit, and actions for the transformation of the world. Then all consciousness of “I”, all things of the old self, will automatically be sacrificed. Only Baba and service will remain.

Achcha, to such souls who are constantly powerful, constantly co-operative in transforming all; to those who maintain the balance of sense and essence; to those who remain lost in the intoxication of the one thought of world transformation; to those for whom nothing exists except Baba and service; to those who, like Baba, are great souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

Avyakt BapDada 19th November 1979

Today, BapDada was singing the praise of each child’s fortune. On seeing His children’s most elevated lines of fortune, Baba smiles. Which aspects are most apparent when looking at the elevated lines of fortune? The most significant factors are the time, the date, the period, the governing omens, the clan, the religion, the wealth, relationship and occupation of the soul. The fortune of each one can be deduced form all the factors. Are these factors understood by you in relation to the fortune of the self?

What is your date of birth? Even nowadays they still tell fortunes by referring to the birthday and to the sound of a person’s name. When did you incarnate? When Brahma is created so too are the Brahmins. So the date of birth of the original jewels is the date of Baba’s incarnation.

The period is the Confluence Age, the period symbolised by the omens of Brahm (auspicious omens). And so the period of everyone’s birth is the hour of Brahm, the hour of the early morning.

The sound of your name is also Baba’s. That sound is “World Benefactor”.

The omens under which you have been born are those of the Sat Guru.

The clan is the most elevated of all. You belong to the clan of God, the divine clan.

Your status is that of Master Almighty Authority.

Your wealth is beyond limit.

Your religion is that of the Brahmin’s top-knot.

The line of your intellect is deep and subtle, allowing you to view the three aspects of time: past, present, and future.

Is there anyone whose lines of fortune are more elevated than these? And Baba has also drawn clearly your lines of action by making you constant karma yogis, natural yogis, and raja yogis. The crown and throne are clearly visible in the star of your fortune. Could anyone have greater fortune than this?…..

: Today BapDada was looking at the fortune of each child. Just as Baba sees the fortune and smiles, so too do all of you see your own individual fortune and smile, or do you forget it by becoming involved in unimportant matters? What do these tiny little matters consist of? You tell devotees that their worship is the worship of dolls, that they are simply playing games with dolls. You describe how they make these dolls, decorate them, worship them, and then drown them in the rivers. Similarly you children who are Master Bestowers of Fortune become involved in the game of playing with tiny little matters. In reality there is nothing there, but in order to settle karmic accounts, or to test one’s dharna, or to check out one’s own consciousness, these matters come repeatedly in a variety of forms. They are lifeless things without any substance, but when they confront you it is as if they are filled with life, and you go into a great expansion about them.

And so you too create dolls. Sometimes there is the doll of jealousy, sometimes the doll of doubts, sometimes of imagination or conflict, or the doll of bossiness. Firstly you create these dolls, then you experience them as having a reality of their own, and then you convince others of their reality. This is what is happening. You breathe life into these dolls, and then what do you do? You decorate your doll with past memories and future hallucinations. You churn points of knowledge in a twisted way and then you sit and offer them up to Baba with such feeble thoughts as “of course these things are unavoidable”. Or else: “well, everyone still has such failings”, “all are making efforts according to the drama, we won’t become perfect until the end!”. In such a manner you offer bhoge (holy food) of twisted points of knowledge, and hence give strength to that which is unreal: you underline it. Initially it is the bhoge of uncooked food, but then you cook it and offer it again. And then you invite the family to sit with you for bhoge, that is to say you make them your companions in this business, and offer this food to their intellects as well.

So what must happen finally? Finally all these things must be drowned in the waves of the remembrance of the Ocean of Knowledge… “let past be past”… “let there be progress for the self”… “let me take a high jump”… “let there be remembrance of the true self”… let me be Master Knowledgeful”.

Firstly all these dolls’ images must be drowned amidst the waves. But what about all the time that has been wasted? Just as you tell devotees that their activity is a waste of time and money, in the same way you waste so much of this most elevated period of the Confluence Age, and so much of the treasures of knowledge and of the powers, in this game of dolls’ play. And so, how should you consider these matters? As dolls’ play. Never allow yourself to become involved in this sort of game. Constantly recognise your most elevated fortune. The time now is such that all are close to the stage of retirement. Retired people wouldn’t play with dolls. Those who are in the stage of retirement (according to Indian tradition) remain in solitude and remembrance, chanting the name of God. And so all of you, who are senior in the unlimited sense, who are retired, must constantly remain in the depths of the One, i.e. in true solitude, the constant embodiment of remembrance. This is the stage of one who is in retirement.

Do you not enjoy this stage of consciousness? That which you enjoy is never forgotten. Baba wants to see all children become like Baba. All children should be merged in Baba’s remembrance. Is it not your desire to be merged within Baba? To merge means to become equal.

Achcha. Is this season going to be one in which you listen, or one in which the practical form becomes visible? Later it will be explained to you what is required at the present moment; what the devotes are crying out for; what unhappy and peaceless souls are crying out for; what religious leaders and politicians and scientists are calling out for; what matter is crying out for. Can you hear the cries of these countless souls, or are you busy in the play of dolls.

Achcha later you will be told about the cry of all of these. You people can also listen to their cries in the early morning hours of nectar.

Achcha. To those who are constantly aware of their fortune; those who are always like Baba; those who are constantly merged in remembrance, constantly in true solitude; those who make every moment valuable and become the embodiment of success; those who relinquish the games of worship and become the embodiment of the stage of Master Knowledgeful; those who are the embodiment of remembrance and power… to such infinitely fortunate children, BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.

(to foreigners)

Just as in terms of physical lands you are foreigners, so too does the soul always consider itself to be foreign, ie do you move in the consciousness of being residents of paramdham? Always feel that “I the soul have incarnated from paramdham only to carry out the task of world benefit”. With this consciousness your vision, thoughts, words, and actions will bring benefit for all and you will perform the service of the lighthouse. From the physical lighthouse there is only one colour of light emerging, but here the colours of all the powers will emerge, showing the path at every step to other souls. By remaining in that consciousness, whoever comes in front of you will have the feeling that “we have come to a mine of unlimited treasures”.

The foreigners must carry out service whilst moving and walking as lighthouses. Always keep one image with you. Just as there is the image of Brahma signalling towards Shiv Baba with his finger, so too your every thought and action should signal towards Baba. And so check.. “do my thoughts point towards Shiva Baba?”. At that time everyone should have a vision of you all sitting on BapDada’s heart throne.

To what extent have foreigners carried out the service that was given to them? How far has the sound of the “loudspeakers” spread? How quickly is that sound spreadi
ng? When will that sound reach its destination? In 1980 or 1981? Kumbhakarna wil awaken only when the sound of the “loudspeakers” reaches India. So do not send a small voice but a very large one. Now all are waiting in anticipation for a sound coming from abroad that will awaken the Kumbhakarna of Bharat.

Always mould the self: reveal your dharna clearly according to the moment and the circumstances. Sakar Baba’s speciality was to adopt a form according to the time and the individual.

Do not make long term plans, but make such plans that can be quickly brought into practice. But be soul conscious, not date conscious.

Avyakt BapDada 14th November 1979

Today, BapDada was seeing the final stage of all children, that is to say the stage of conquest over the vices, or the stage of liberation from negative and waste thoughts. All are making efforts to reach this final stage, but two types of children could be identified. Firstly there are those who, whilst engaging in effort, simultaneously experience the fruit of that effort, as instant success. The second type simply engage in effort making, and whilst the efforts are great, the degree of success is small. Consequently they become tired. One who makes proper effort never experiences tiredness. Why?…

Because of their different understanding of a single point, one is continually labouring, and the other remains in the intoxication of love. What is that point? The difference in understanding is a subtle one. On the one hand there is the feeling that I have to walk and face situations alone. And on the other, there is the experience of complete surrender, even in thoughts, giving the feeling that Baba is doing everything. And so instead of travelling on the feet of effort, the soul is moved in the lap of love. By attaining everything in the lap of love, walking ceases and the state of flying is experienced. Constantly happy in eternal joy, and filled with all powers, they remain flying.

Now ask yourself, which type am I? Brahmin children in the Confluence Age live and move, at every step, in the lap of love. The symbol of Brahmin life, the sparkle of happiness, will be apparent always. If there is no happiness then the life is not a Brahmin one.

Some people believe that life in the confluence age is meant for effort, and that the success of that effort will be experienced in future births. BapDada has made the following bargain: give one and receive 100,000. Does this bargain hold for the future? No. This is the bargain of the Confluence Age. This is the most elevated period in history, the most elevated birth, the most elevated status. The experience of all attainments, the fulfilment of all promises, comes at this time. The future is, of course, guaranteed, but the present is even more elevated than that. At this time only is it possible to take just one step, that is to say “Baba I am yours”. In return Baba offers the experience in every thought, word, and action, that he is yours. In return for your one thought, Baba becomes yours for the entire duration of the Confluence Age. Baba the Servant, is bound in service whenever you want, however you want, for whatever reason. In fact it is not a matter of 100,000 fold return, but of unlimited return.

Whilst moving along the path you forget the significance of the present period: the Bestower of Blessings becomes yours. The Seed is in your hand, and through this seed you are able to attain whatever it is that you desire in one second. It is simply a matter of emerging the thought. Whether it is power, happiness, bliss, or whatever; because the Lord himself is yours, he will say “Ji Hazzur!” (yes sir!). In the same way that servants are summoned with just one word, all attainments would be present with just one thought. In actual fact, when the Lord is yours, then all these are present. When the Seed is yours, then so are the fruits.

At present, those who come into contact with you remark on the extent of your renunciation, rather than the extent of your good fortune. They can see your renunciation, but not your great fortune. By revealing your fortune, you would make them fortunate.

So renounce effort-making, and enter the lap of love and affection. Don’t move, but rather be moved.

(the lights went out due to power failure)

When his children are living in the world of darkness, then it is right that Baba also should experience the world as they are experiencing it.

Achcha, now do you understand what must be done? Eat the visible fruit of the present, in addition to that which you will attain in the future. Always keep the Lord present in the intellect, and all attainments will surrender themselves to you…”Ji Hazzur!”. Baba cannot endure seeing the efforts of his children. The direct shoots of the seed are such elevated souls. Such elevated children should be able to experience all attainments quite simply.

Achcha, to such souls who attain everything easily; who being equal with the Ocean, are always complete in all aspects; who constantly keep possession of the Seed; who through their stability in the seed stage of consciousness, are conquerors over vice and waste thoughts; who acquire such traits that keep them faithful and carefree, to such children…
BapDada’s love, remembrance, and namaste.
