"In order to become the true jewellery, be introverted, remove all defects and become clean."

(Avyakt BapDada elevated versions for the teachers)

In whose remembrance were all of you sitting? Was it the remembrance of One or two? Those who were in remembrance of One, raise your hand, and those who were in remembrance of two, also raise your hand. Who were the two? Are they residents of the subtle region or the corporeal region? All of you are teachers , are you not? When students come to you, what destination do you show them? What teachings will you give everyone? All of you are teachers , are you not? You teachers reveal your Teacher , do you not? The way in which you give sustenance and show the destination to the students will reveal your Teacher . If you give a student the destination of the subtle region as soon as he comes, how would he reach there, since he hasn’t even seen the way? Which address should you give first? What do you explain at the museums? What introduction do you give to the students? Which path and what destination do you show them? What is the seed? The seed is the seed. Even though the seed may be decayed, nevertheless, from time to time, its branches continue to emerge. They come when it rains. If you forget the Seed, how will you show them the path? So, what is the Seed?

Teachers should speak in a fully wise manner. You are not little children. Little children need to be taught things from the beginning. You have now learnt all of this. You have taken sustenance and have now come to take this exam. You study and take an exam at the same time; you do both tasks simultaneously. The father became a resident of the subtle region, and so all of you also have to become residents of the subtle region. In which world was he when he became avyakt? Where do you have to become that? (In the corporeal world.) The world is round, and the entire tree is within the world but the destination of the world is the confluence age. Thanks are given to the confluence, because it is this that has made all of you reach here. What will happen if you forgot your destination? You will also forget the One who shows you the destination. Remember your destination very well and also imbibe the teachings that you have received from BapDada. With this dharna, you will remain patient and introverted. You will develop patience, and through that you will be able to finish the iron-aged kingdom of Ravan. So, now, as well as this being the time to study, it is also the time to take the exams. This is the first thing.

Secondly, look carefully at the actions that you have performed for so long while you have been in BapDada’s lap receiving sustenance. Some have even kept those actions hidden from BapDada because of shame. It is not that they have recognised the Father and put everything in front of Him. No, those who have made such mistakes, not deliberately from their hearts, but it sometimes happened due to carelessness, have to write their life story. Even those who have spoken to BapDada have to write their whole life-story. This is the final time. The accounts of 84 births are settled here. You use the words “with honesty and cleanliness”, but what is the difference between honesty and cleanliness? You have not understood the meaning of this accurately. You must now go into the depths of it and write about everything.

BapDada has come from the subtle region to serve the children and to cleanse them. The Father does service. The Father is your Server from the beginning to the end; He is ever-ready to do service. The Father has so much pure pride that His children become crowned with peacock feathers and are the stars of His eyes. He is preparing you to make you into the residents of heaven, the heaven that is now being established. Children think they will become Lakshmi or Narayan, and yet while keeping such a high aim they still continue to make mistakes. Therefore, BapDada has come to serve you.

Your final thoughts will lead you to your destination. There is no more time remaining. The time has come very close. You Shaktis, lionesses, have to prepare your arms; only then will you be able to battle with your enemy. If you do not have faith in yourself, and you do not have BapDada’s full introduction, then neither will you be able to become the Shakti Army, nor will you be able to adopt the ornaments of a Shakti. If you have instilled power (shakti) in yourself, then those who are yet to come will be able to find their destination and they will then be able to join the Shakti Army. In order to make yourself into real jewellery you have to remove all defects and become clean. How many types of gold are there? Some of nine carat , some 12 carat , but that which is pure is pure . The word ‘ carat’ should be removed. You have to correct yourself. You have been given time for correction . Pay attention to this aspect very well.

Even if you have to die, you will not renounce your religion. Which religion? Do you know? Once you have made a promise to the Father, once you have given your hand to BapDada, you must then not renounce your religion. A wife who is faithful to her husband remains very firm in her religion. You are the true Lakshmis and Sitas. What is the aim of those who are going to become Mahalakshmi? If you have moved away from your aim, take a jump and stabilize yourself in it once again. In order to serve you, BapDada has become the Server and is giving you teachings. He is not giving you orders, but is giving you teachings, because as well as the Father, He is also the Teacher and the Satguru. It would not be right if He gave orders to the children and they did not accept them. This is why He gives teachings instead.

Today, the foundation is being laid. A tilak is applied to little children. They have to be shown the way - what has to be done and how it has to be done. All of you have now been shown the way. Therefore you have become instruments to show the path to others. If there is something wrong on that path, if there are any ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’, you have to remove them. If you do not remove them now, then consider the power that the Shaktis have received to be finished. BapDada is seeing this in some cases, and this is why you have all been called together, to unite all your hearts and to show the path accurately. All of you must be very happy. When small children are to be taken to a function , they experience a great deal of happiness. They think: We will go there and wear new clothes. What new clothes and decoration do all of you have to put on? On the one hand, you have to be a server; to be a server means to uplift impure souls. Continue to do that service constantly. How are all of you going to uplift the souls that are yet to come? How will you remove the obstacles? If the arrow is filled with power, it will hit the target in one shot. That soul will be uplifted. Whom will the little kumaris uplift? What mountain have you lifted? Who are the instruments to lift the mountain? The gopes and gopis (those who have love for God). Only when you complete a task are you a gopi. Only when you have that much power can you lift a mountain. So the Father had to come to enlighten you about all these aspects.

BapDada has already given you a tilak once. Is it a red tilak or a sandalwood tilak? A red tilak is for the beauty of the face, and a sandalwood tilak is for the beauty of the soul. You must not wear jewellery for the beauty of the face. You must not wear beautiful clothes just to show the world but you have to decorate yourself internally and wear jewellery in a way that is accepted by people and also by yourself. To please people is to be extroverted, and to please the self is to be introverted. So you have to decorate yourself while being introverted. You may give a lecture to please people, and you do please them, but only when the essence of it penetrates the sense organs is there beauty in that lecture. Divine virtues are revealed through actions. Classes on divine virtues are given so that you can decorate yourself. You have to go across the confluence age fully decorated and then return home. Where do you have to go from your home? To your in-laws’ home. When a kumari goes to her in-laws’ home, if she is not educated and clever, her in-laws’ would say that she doesn’t have any sense in walking, sitting or moving around etc. You now have to go to your in-laws’ home. Baba is not looking at each step you take. Instead, He is looking at all your sense organs. The word ‘step’ (kadam) is gross, and it rhymes with multimillions (padam). That is for your own benefit. You have to decorate your physical senses. You have to return home wearing your jewellery. To whom have you come to be decorated? You have come to BapDada’s home, which is also your home. Who is decorating you? When someone gets engaged, one person makes the jewellery and someone else puts it on the person for whom it is intended. So, now, you have to return fully decorated. Do you understand?

You are sensible and clever teachers anyway. Consider the result of these 15 days to be the final result . You have to make this much effort and become expert teachers . Then, when you look after your centres , you will be able through your drishti to show the golden-aged world to those who come. That will only happen when you have worn your jewellery very well. If any of your jewellery falls off due to carelessness, there will be a loss and also the beauty of the decoration will finish. Therefore, neither must you finish the beauty nor remove the jewellery. This is not a big thing. You will be able to understand it easily if you consider it to be a little thing. If you say the knowledge is very elevated, no one will come. If you say that there can be the attainment of liberation in life in seven days, then all will come to claim a lottery . Everyone puts something into a lottery and when someone wins something, it is considered to be his fortune. They like to take a chance to see whose fortune opens. Some win a huge lottery and others win a small lottery . The paper will be given at the end and there will be three numbers given. Whatever effort each of you makes, you will claim a number accordingly. It is in your own hands to create your fortune, so now don’t wait for a lottery . Continue to make preparation with yoga, but only those who are free from waste thoughts are considered to be true yogis. You have to imbibe this aim. Achcha.

You have received many treasures. Now accumulate all of them and continue to chew the cud like a cow. All of you are cows as well as gopis. How to lift the mountain and how to become a cow and chew the cud – this task has to be performed in this bhatthi. You have to adopt many forms and perform many tasks. You have to experience everything in this bhatthi. As is the effort you make, so will be your result . What is the method to attain the perfect stage? What is your aim? You have to know that. If you have found the method, you will be able to reach your aim.

You need to be able to recognise the jewels. You have to be able to value them properly. Only a jeweller can recognise the value of jewellery. Those who are unable to recognise it will not be able to value it. All of you will be recognised when the jewellery is polished and sparkling. Then, there will be value and those who can recognise will be able to recognise you. If the jewellery isn’t sparkling, who would buy it? They will wonder: I don’t know whether this is real or artificial jewellery. What would be the benefit if they give money and the jewellery is of no use? When all of you are fully decorated, buyers will also emerge and you will continue to become residents of the subtle region. Achcha.
