Making the path of effort clear with the light of knowledge
At the present time, what do you aim to attain through the effort which all of you are making? The attainment of the deity status is for the future, but what do you aim to the attain through the effort of the present time? (To become angels.) What are the main qualifications of angels? What are the two qualifications needed to become angels? One is light and the other is might. Both are essential. Both light and might are clearly visible in the life of an angel. What special power do you need in order to attain light? There are many powers, but what individual virtues are needed in order to become the form of light and might? One is the power to churn and the other is the power to tolerate. To the extent that you have the power to tolerate, accordingly, you receive all the powers from the Almighty Authority. Knowledge is also said to be light. So, in order to make the path of effort easy and clear, you need the light of knowledge. For this light, you need churning power. So, firstly, you need churning power and, secondly, you need the power to tolerate. If you have both these powers, anyone can have a vision of your angelic form while you are walking or moving around. With the power to tolerate, you automatically have the attainment of all virtues. Those who have the power to tolerate will automatically have, through just that one power, the power to make decisions, the power to discriminate and the power of depth and maturity.
The power to tolerate is essential and even churning power is essential. For the mind, there is churning power and for words and actions, there is the power to tolerate. If you have the power to tolerate, whatever words you speak will not be ordinary. Secondly, whatever actions you perform will also be accordingly. So, both powers are essential. Those who have the power to tolerate are successful in their tasks. Those who lack the power to tolerate lack success in whatever task they carry out. Those who have the power to tolerate are able to stabilise themselves in the avyakt stage and in the stage of an embodiment of pure thoughts. There will be a sparkle on the faces of those who are tolerant. No matter what type of sanskars others may have, through their own power to tolerate, they are able to suppress those sanskars of others for a temporary period. So you need both these powers. In your effort, you need the power to tolerate in order to create thoughts in your mind. This is also called controlling power. If you have the power to tolerate, you are also able to control waste thoughts. So, you have to pay attention to both these powers.
What is the easy way to become a number one businessman? Only by keeping yourself busy will you become a number one businessman. Those who do not know how to keep themselves busy are not worthy of being called businessmen. To become a businessman here means to earn an income for the self and also enable others to earn an income. For this, you must not keep yourself free for even a second. Which number businessman are you? To the extent that you gallop here, accordingly, you will be able to gallop to your future throne. You have a good chance. You can do whatever you want. All of you have this freedom. To the extent that each of you takes a chance, accordingly, you are fixing a throne for yourself.
A businessman means not to waste even one thought. There should be an income in every thought. To earn an income, those businessmen make one paisa worth so much. Here, too, you must definitely earn an income at every second in every thought: such souls are called number one businessmen. What else does the intellect have to do? The intellect should just remain busy in this. Has everything finished in all other directions, or is there still something remaining where the intellect can go? Everything has finished in all other directions, has it not? In terms of your old sanskars, everything has finished, has it not? The path and direction where the intellect goes is the same: the intellect will go towards the old sanskars, or it will go towards the karmic accounts of your body, or it will be pulled towards the wasteful thoughts of the mind. All of that has finished, has it not? You may have a physical illness, but you have the knowledge of what illness it is and what its cure is, because you have the aim that if the body is in good condition, you will be able to do that much more service. You do not have any selfish motives for the self; you are doing everything for the sake of service. This is being a detached observer, is it not? Now, there is just the one path that remains. All the paths that made the intellect wander have now closed, have they not? It is as though the seal of the Almighty Government has been applied. Once the seal has been applied, it cannot be opened until the seal has fulfilled its purpose. So you have to check yourself in this way. If it is in someone's fortune, the circumstances also become such that they take on the form of a lift. Here, too, those who have it in their fortune from the previous cycle, or have it fixed in the drama, are able to make their own effort, but, together with that, they receive this lift from the divine family, and they also receive a gift from BapDada. So, you also have to check what type of gifts you have received from BapDada and the divine family. When important people receive gifts, they keep them safe in a showcase and they glorify the name of their country with them, whereas here, you have to glorify the name of BapDada and the family with the gifts that you have received from time to time. Achcha.
When you people went out to do service in the beginning, although there was very little power of knowledge, on the basis of which powers was there success? Renunciation and love. The love of the intellect was for Baba and the yagya day and night. Baba and the yagya emerged from deep within your hearts. It was this love that made everyone co-operative. It was with this power of love that the centres were created, and, this was the power that brought about co-operation at the beginning of establishment; the same has to happen at the end. At the beginning you became manmanabhav with love from the corporeal form. It was the love from the corporeal form that made you co-operative and made you renounce everything. You now have to surround everything with the powers of love and co-operation.
Even now, the main reason for the success of service in foreign lands is that others are surrounded and this makes them loving and co-operative. The powers of love and co-operation are the practical proof of knowledge. This is the main basis for success in service. Wherever you may be staying, you must think about making a plan through which the task of giving the message can be accomplished very quickly. At present, a lot remains to be done. With love, one receives the enthusiasm to take a jump in renunciation.
How did all of you renounce everything? Only when your every vein was filled with love were you able to take a jump.
Write to those in the foreign lands telling them that just as they are now continuing to move forward with spiritual intoxication and happiness, in the same way, they will continue to achieve success in service through constantly staying in intoxication and happiness. The tilak of victory has already been applied.
Constantly continue to see your own tilak of victory. BapDada is pleased to see what you have done up to now, but you have to move forward. Only when you create heirs will you be congratulated. You must remain happy with what you have done up to now, but the task whereby everyone would say that it is a wonder still has to be carried out. You remain happy because you have very good permanent intoxication and happiness. Up to now, the result has been very good. Their commander is very courageous. When anyone takes responsibility for a task through his own courage, many others become his companions.
Even though this is a variety group, the bouquet is very good, and this is why Baba is giving congratulations. Achcha.
BapDada meeting the Madhuban residents:
To be a resident of Madhuban means to be sweet and to have unlimited disinterest. Those who have unlimited disinterest will only see the soul. So they have sweetness in their interaction and an attitude of unlimited disinterest in their mind. If you have the awareness of both of these, would you not pass with honours? Imbibe both of these qualifications before you leave here.
The longer you have this beautiful time of the confluence age, the better it is, because you understand that you will never again experience this meeting between the Father and the children throughout the entire cycle. This is why you wish to extend the time of the confluence age, not because you have weaknesses.
Constantly have the aim becoming ever-ready. However, you are still here in order to experience the inheritance of supersensuous joy constantly and not because of your weaknesses. This old world is like a foreign land for all of you. Many people do not touch foreign things; they think that they should use the things of their own country. So, you must not touch anything of this old world, that is, this foreign country. Are you patriots (swa-deshi) of your country, or are you attracted by the things of foreign lands?
Do you constantly consider yourselves to be patriots? In terms of the soul, Paramdham is your land and in terms of this Godly family, Madhuban is your land. Have this intoxication of both these lands: “We are patriots of our country and so we cannot touch anything of the foreign land.” Now become powerful creators. If the creators are weak, how can they create a creation? You must emerge from here with all the ornaments. Constantly stabilise yourself in a stable stage and become an example worthy to be shown to everyone so that everyone has visions. In the copper age, the devotees will have visions, but here, the divine family should have visions of you images that grant visions. You must accumulate here. You have been earning and eating for 63 births. It is now time for you to accumulate, not the time to be wasting anything. Achcha.
Whatever actions and thoughts you have, by being light with yourself, that action will be accurate.
Become such a form of light that you become transparent. This bhatthi will make Pandav Bhavan a living, transparent exhibition. Everyone should be attracted to have a vision of it, to come and see it. You have to win in every aspect. You must claim number one. Merge all the old sanskars and thoughts and finish them, that is, merge them to such an extent that they do not emerge again. You can do whatever you want but you must have will-power for whatever you desire. The more powerful your attitude is, the more powerful the atmosphere will be. When anyone has a weakness, by receiving the co-operation of a powerful attitude, he is able to move forward. The Father is constant and you have to become like the Father. No matter what happens, you must consider it to be a game and finish it. By your considering it to be a game, there will be happiness. The tilak of the present time enables you to have a tilak and a crown for many births. So remain constantly stable . Follow the Father. Those who are cheerful themselves will make others cheerful, no matter what frame of mind they are in. To remain cheerful is a virtue of knowledge, and so you just have to add spirituality. To have the sanskar of remaining cheerful is also a blessing which co-operates with you a great deal at a time of need. Your weak thoughts become instrumental in making you fall. This is why not a single thought should be wasted, because you know the value of the thoughts of the present time. If your thoughts, words and deeds are alokik (spiritual), you will then not consider yourself to be a resident of this world. You will then understand that you do not have your feet on this land, that is, that the intellect is not attached to this world, that the foot of your intellect is above the earth of the body. This is a sign of happiness. You will experience yourself to be an angel to the extent that your intellect is above the consciousness of the body. If, whilst performing every action, you continue to fly in remembrance of Baba, you will have the experience of that practice. Your stage should be as though you are flying. Achcha.
Blessing: May you be one who uplifts others and makes your photograph the same as that of Father Brahma, the most elevated of all.
All the children have created an elevated photo of their fortune through their elevated awareness and elevated actions. Now, the final touches are of perfection and of becoming the most elevated of all, the same as Father Brahma. For this, become one who uplifts others, that is, always remain free from selfish motives. In every adverse situation, in every task and in every co-operative gathering, the more altruistic you are, the more you will be able to become one who uplifts others and you will constantly experience yourself to be overflowing. You will always be able to remain stable in the stage of an embodiment of attainment and will not accept anything for yourself.
Slogan: By being one who has renounced everything, you will develop the virtues of easiness and tolerance.
