"Perfection through the awareness of the point and the ocean."

Into which gathering has BapDada come today? What would you call today’s gathering? Today, it is the gathering of the Sun of Knowledge and the stars. Each star is one that reveals its own sparkle. BapDada has come to see the sparkle of each star. All of you have come to this bhatthi - what have you come to make yourselves in this bhatthi? Do you know what you are going to emerge as from this bhatthi? (Angels.) Are you not angels? You will emerge from this bhatthi being firmly stamped with the stamp of perfection. At present, you are making effort to become angels, but, in order to become perfect you have come to this bhatthi to sacrifice any weaknesses you have. It is like that, is it not? What will you remember in order to remove the weaknesses? Something through which you will be stamped with the stamp of perfection? Today, BapDada is telling you something very easy. The easiest thing that you have to remember is: I am a point and the Father is also a point. But, together with being a point, He is also the Ocean. So a point (bindu) and an ocean (sindu) are the introduction of the children and the Father. If you remember these two words, you can easily become perfect. What are small children in a school taught first of all? First of all, they put a point. Then, as they progress, they are taught the number one or Alpha. So this too is just a point, and then you progress further. So the remembrance of the point is just the one thing in which everything is included. There is the remembrance of One, the constant stage, the direction of One and you are the helpers in the task of that One. If you remember everything connected with one, you can make yourself move ahead very fast. Just apply a point (full-stop) and the One because there is no need to go beyond that. If you go into expansion, that is only for the sake of service . If you are not involved in service , there is no need to use your intellect for anything except the point and the One. Remember just these things and you will easily be able to attain perfection. Is it easy or difficult? It is an easy path but what makes easy things difficult? (Sanskars.) Why do these sanskars emerge? By forgetting yourself, you create all these things. Whether they are the past sanskars or past karmic bondages, or the mistakes of the present time, the main reason for all these is your forgetting yourself. Because of your forgetting yourself, all these wasteful things make the easy things difficult. What will happen if you have remembrance? What aim have you come with? Remembrance means becoming perfect, and forgetfulness means being imperfect. When there is forgetfulness there are many obstacles, and when there is remembrance, everything is easy and perfect. If you continue to make powerful the awareness of all that you have heard, forgetfulness will automatically run away. If you do not let go of remembrance, how can you forget? There is darkness when the sun sets. If the sun does not set, how can there be darkness? In the same way, if you constantly have the sun of remembrance, there cannot be the darkness of forgetfulness. Do you know this alokik drill ? Generally, those who practise that drill remain healthy. As well as being healthy they also remain strong. A person remains healthy, free from the sickness of Maya and also an embodiment of power to the extent to which they practise this alokik drill. According to how much you practise this alokik drill of the intellect, to that extent you will attain the aim of becoming what you want. You have to use your hands and feet exactly as the drill master tells you, do you not? Here, too, if everyone is told to become incorporeal from corporeal in one second , will you be able to become that? Just as you very quickly use your physical hands and feet according to the directions you receive in a drill , in the same way, do you have the practice of becoming incorporeal from corporeal in one second ? How long does it take to become incorporeal from corporeal? Since it is your original form, why are you not able to stabilise yourself in that form in one second ? Do you still have karmic bondages? Are we still to continue to hear the sound of karmic bondages even now? Will we continue to hear about karmic bondages until you leave those old bodies?

Who is the one who gives answers to the questions in this class ? You have given many names, now who is the one who is able to go beyond the questions and answers? In this bhatthi, you will develop the power to discern. Each of you has to make effort to go from here having become perfect. Is that possible now, or will it only happen at the end? (It is possible.) So what will you do till the end then? (We will create subjects.) You yourselves will become the crowned ones and you will make others into only subjects! You also have to make others like you. You do have to create subjects too. Otherwise, without subjects, whom would you rule over? So we should understand that all these stars will go from here having become perfect. It is essential for each of you to have the enthusiasm and faith that you will become perfect and also make others that. If you constantly and eternally maintain this zeal and enthusiasm, you will definitely attain your aim. BapDada has the faith that you will emerge from this yagya kund (square vessel for a sacrificial fire, heart of a sacrificial fire) having become complete. Have you seen the memorial of the yagya kund? The yagya is the whole area where the sacrificial fire takes place, but special importance is given to the yagya kund (place where the fire is lit). You must have seen that both the River Ganges and River Jamuna have importance, yet their confluence has even greater importance: it is considered to be very elevated to bathe there. The Ganges and the Jamuna exist at many places, yet why do people especially go to bathe at the confluence of the two? What is its special importance? You know the importance of the confluence age very well, do you not? Just as special places have special importance, in the same way, the bhatthi in Madhuban has special importance. You receive the gift of perfection from the Father in this bhatthi. Children receive the special fortune of this meeting, or confluence. This meeting itself is in the form of the gift of perfection. The confluence age is the memorial of this meeting and so this meeting is the gift of perfection. You will definitely go from this bhatthi having been stamped with the stamp of perfection. However, together with that, in this bhatthi, you must also learn how to calculate very well. In some cases, because you do not know how to calculate very well, you subtract instead of adding and you add instead of subtracting. This is why your stage fluctuates. You have to learn to calculate accurately in which aspect you must add and in which aspect you must subtract. Because of living in a household, you even add where you do not have to add, and you subtract where you are not supposed to. This small calculation takes on the form of a great problem. This is why, whie living in the household, you have to learn accurately where to cut off and where to forge a link. And, if you have to forge a link, then to what extent, and in which form. You have been called to the bhatthi and so you will also be told about the task of the bhatthi. In which subjects of the study do you have to become strong? Firstly, in the subject of the alokik Godly drill , and secondly, in calculation: you have to learn both these things in this bhatthi. If you become perfect in both these things, what else remains? You will emerge from here having become perfect. You will become that, but the task of making others like that will still remain. You have to go from here because of this. You must not go because of your relationships, but only for the sake of service . Even if you have to go, it is just for the sake of service . Wherever you stay, consider yourself to be like this because through this your stage will become loving and detached. Just as BapDada comes and goes for the sake of service , all of you also have to go just for the sake of service . You have to attain success in service and then personally come in front of Baba.

At the present time, which mantra does BapDada give to each child from the subtle region? Go soon, come soon . Go for the sake of service, then quickly come back with companions and then go back again. When you ‘ go soon, come soon ’ here quickly, you will then be able to do that quickly with the intellect. The drill of the intellect is also ‘ go soon, come soon’ , is it not? You will be able to have that stage when you remember this physical mantra. This mantra is connected with that mantra. That is why you were told about the importance of the yagya kund. Here, you receive it as a gift and there you receive it in the form of effort. So there is special significance of the yagya kund. Here, it is a blessing, and there it is effort. Since you can receive it as a blessing, why are you making effort? You have to learn this language in this sacrificial fire and then go from here. You have to go after having become such samples that when others see you, they will be attracted and also sacrifice themselves in the yagya kund.

From each one’s photo (tasveer), BapDada sees each one’s fortune (taqdeer) and effort (tadbeer)and to what extent each one of you is creating your fortune. When all of you see the photo of each one, you should be able to see their effort from that; you should see the special quality of their effort. There is definitely a special quality in each one’s effort. You have to see that quality. One is a quality (gunn), and together with that there are also termites (ghun). The words are very similar, yet there is such a vast difference between the two. If you do not see the qualities, the termites set in. You have to see each one’s quality, then the termites that have set in will be terminated.

All of you are loving. BapDada has deep love for such loving children. Love brings you close. To the extent that you are loving, so you are close, so are you loving to one another? Only the loving children can come close now and in the future. You are especially loving and you are therefore being given a double tilak today but it is a unique tilak. It isn’t a tilak that is applied in a lokik way. What is this double tilak? One is that of being incorporeal and the other is that of being detached. Baba is applying this double tilak with the eternal stage so that it can remain on each one’s forehead eternally. Does this imperishable tilak stay with you constantly? A tilak is said to be the sign of ‘suhaag’ (being wed). You have to try to keep this tilak permanently. The more mature you remain, the greater the status you will be able to claim. Each one of you should think that you are number one. If each one of you is number one , then who would become number two ? Numbers cannot be given in the Father’s class . The Teacher is number one and the students are number one. So, each one of you is number one . There should be a picture of such a class in Madhuban. Achcha.
