Do you constantly experience yourself detached like the lotus flower and constantly loved by BapDada? Because the lotus flower is light, even whilst in the water it remains above the water. Even though it has a household, it remains in solitude. In the same way, do all of you remain in solitude, that is, detached, whilst being in the lokik and alokik households? In order to stay in solitude, especially check your attitude. As is your attitude, so is your household
What attitude must you maintain? The attitude of the soul, a spiritual attitude. Through this attitude, your household will become filled with spirituality. That is, because there is spirituality in your household, you will work with theconsciousness of the household as something that has been given to you in trust. The consciousness of 'mine' will finish easily. There never is the consciousness of 'mine' in something that has been given in trust. Because there isattachment with the consciousness of 'mine', other vices also enter. To finish the consciousness of 'mine' means to be liberated from the vices. To be viceless means to be pure. Through this, the household also becomes pure. To destroy the vices means to become cheerful. So, do you consider yourselves the elevated souls who destroy the vices? Have you made your household a pure household? The first household is the household of the body. Then there is the household of bodily relationships. So, have you purified the first household, every sense organ of the body? Until you have purified the household of the body, you will not be able to purify the household of the bodily relationships, whether the limited household or the unlimited. What is the household of a Brahma Kumar or a Kumari? Just as there is the household of limited relationships, in the same way, as a Brahma Kumar or Brahma Kumari you have a corporeal relationship of brother and sister with the souls of the entire world. You have this huge, unlimited household. However, only when you have purified the household of your body, will you be able to purify the unlimited household. It has been said that charity begins at home. First of all you must serve to purify the household of the body, that is, your home. So first of all, ask yourself, have you purified the body, your home? Have you made your thoughts, intellect, eyes and lips spiritual, that is, pure? At the time of Diwali, people clean every corner of their home. They pay so much attention so that not a single corner is left. In the same way, have you cleansed every sense organ and have you ignited the lamp of the soul for all time? Have you celebrated the spiritual Diwali in this way, or have you yet to celebrate it? Are the lamps of everyone glimmering constantly? It has been said that there will be a temple in every home. In the same way, have you made your body, the home, a temple? When every home is made into a temple, you will be able to make the world into temple, a place of residence for the living deities. Each Brahmin is the temple of a living saligram, the temple of a living shakti. With such a consciousness of it being a temple, have you made it pure and clean? According to the present time of effort, and the time of the complete transformation of the world, at such a time, you should not become subservient to matter or to the vices through the sense organs. An evil spirit does not enter a temple. So, have you made every home into a temple? Unclean vices, that is, evil spirits, enter where there is impurity. Devilish thoughts or devilish sanskars cannot enter the temples of the living saligrams, the temples of the living shaktis or the temples of the goddesses who are the destroyers. If they do enter, it means that there is some form of impurity, that is, uncleanliness. Check yourself in this way. If there is any uncleanliness left anywhere, finish it now, that is, celebrate a true Diwali. Now purify your household to such an extent, for only then will world transformation take place. You came here to Madhuban for the spiritual pilgrimage, and so you leave behind all your weaknesses during this spiritual pilgrimage
Madhuban is the land of transformation. If you do not bring about transformation even in the land of transformation, what benefit will you have taken from the land of transformation? However, transformation should not only be whilst you are in the land of transformation, it should be for all time. Madhuban is the great sacrificial fire, the sacrificialfire in which the horse is sacrificed. So a sacrifice is made in a sacrificial fire. Are you making a great sacrifice in the great sacrificial fire, or do you take back that which has been given in? Do you carry out the task according to thename that you have given to the sacrificial fire? The name is great sacrificial fire, the land of transformation, the land of blessings. So, perform the task to suit the name. Do you fulfil the promise you make here, or do you find it difficult to fulfil it? In fulfilling the promise, there are three types of souls. Some, as they fulfil their promise, surrender themselves completely like a true moth to Baba. That is, they surrender to Baba's orders. Some become bhagats in fulfilling the promise, that is, they take power from Baba again and again. That is,they keep asking: If You give me the power of tolerance, I will be able to fulfil this; if You give me the power to face,I will fulfil it. They keep begging in this way, that is, they become bhagats. And some even become cheats. Theysay one thing, they write something else and do something else. Some even cheat Baba. There are such cheats. Theydon't have the power to fulfil their promise, so they make excuses to save themselves. They hide their weaknessesand make excuses about others, saying: Such-and-such a relationship is like this, that is why this happens, or that thiskeeps happening because the atmosphere is bad. They make excuses about the circumstances. This is the varietyamongst the souls whilst fulfilling the promises. Everyone says the same thing: Mine is one Baba and none other. Iwill do whatever He asks. But a variety is created in the doing or the practising. Therefore, now let whatever youhave done in an ordinary way up until now be the past, that is, have mercy on yourself. Recognise the importance ofthis land very clearly. Do not consider this land to be an ordinary land. You came to the great place in order to makeyourself great. To become great means to recognise the importance. Do you understand? Achcha
To those who bring about transformation according to the time, to the souls who are the instruments fortransformation, to those who fulfil their promise of love for Baba, to those who make Baba their constant Companion,to those who remain observers, like the lotus flower, to such constantly loving children, BapDada's love,remembrances and namaste
Question: What is the main dharna necessary in order to be victorious?Answer: It is necessary to be alert in order to be victorious. There are some who are alert and some who are careless
Those who are constantly alert are always victorious and are never deceived
Question: What are the signs of souls who are to be part of the rosary of 108 and the rosary of 16,000?Answer: Those who are always victorious here will be part of the rosary of victory. This is why the term 'the rosary of victory' is used. Those who are only victorious sometimes will be part of the rosary of 16,000
Question: By keeping which aim will you be constantly victorious?Answer: We are not only victorious once but victorious many kalpas. That which has been done many times automatically becomes part of your nature and sanskars. Nowadays, if something that should not be done isdone, people say: This has become my sanskar. Here, also, the consciousness of being victorious innumerabletimes before creates the sanskar of victory
