"The signs of souls seated on the heart-throne."

What would you call this gathering today? What name would you give to this gathering? This is the gathering of the arms of Father Brahma, and therefore this gathering is called the gathering of BapDada's faithful helpers who are seated on BapDada's heart-throne, the master almighty authority group. So, you now understand that this group has so many titles, numberwise, according to effort. What are the signs of those who are seated on the heart-throne? Baba is asking questions because this is a group of teachers . What are the signs of those who are seated on a throne? The signs of being seated on a throne are that they have both the tilak and the crown. Both of those are signs of those seated on a throne. Therefore, these too are the signs of those who are seated on the heart-throne. The sign of the imperishable stage of the soul (the tilak) shining on their foreheads is always visible, even from a distance. Secondly, pure feelings of benefit for all souls will constantly be visible on their faces and in their eyes. The sign is that it will be clearly visible on their faces . Thirdly, their thoughts, words and deeds will be the same as those of the Father. Fourthly, they have the power to enable souls whom they serve to imbibe the three virtues of love, power and co-operation. These four aspects are their signs. Now, you can check your own result , as to what extent these four signs are visible. One makes others the same as oneself. Today, Baba is relating all this because this is a gathering of teachers . You must fill all the souls you serve with all these aspects. What has been the result up to now? Each of you can see your own result . What is visible in the majority ? Some have the speciality of love, and some have the speciality of being co-operative, but the inculcation of the form of power is lacking. What is visible as a sign of this? Do you know? What is the sign of a lack of power? What is the sign of a lack of the power of discrimination? You were told one aspect, that there would not be success in service . In a few words, a clear sign of this is that they will have many questions of “What?, How?, and Why?” in every aspect. It will be very difficult for them to apply the full stop of the drama . This is why they themselves will be in the confusion of “What?, Why? and How?”. Secondly, they would never be able to make other souls come close. They would bring them into a relationship, but not into a close relationship. Do you understand? They would not be able to make others into embodiments of all the disciplines of the Brahmin clan. They themselves lack power, and so they cannot put sufficient power into other souls for them to be able to follow all the disciplines. They would definitely go outside the line of one or another discipline. They understand everything, they are not lacking in this understanding. They would have full understanding of the disciplines, but would lack the power to follow those disciplines. Because of this, the souls they serve would also lack power, and so they would not be able to take a high jump . They waste a lot of time in finishing their sanskars. Now, check your form in all these aspects. Only when attention is paid to the tree in all aspects can there be very good and beautiful fruit. You must pay attention to ploughing the land, then sowing seeds and then watering them; you have to pay attention to all of this. In order to prepare such elevated fruit, the power of finishing sanskars, that is, the power to plough the land is essential. Together with that, just as someone who sows seeds has to pay attention to everything, in the same way, you should make souls loving, co-operative and embodiments of power. If even one is lacking, what happens then? You were told in the beginning that they would not be able to be seated on the heart-throne. This is why teachers have to pay attention to each and every one.

When you tell people your aim and objective , what do you tell them? That you want to become deities. This is the aim you give them. The praise of the deities is that they are full of all virtues etc. So you should keep that aim. You should make effort to fill each soul with all the virtues. You teachers have to make so much effort on each and every one that not a single soul complains that their instrument teacher did not draw their attention to any particular aspect. Whether they do something or not is in their fortune, but you have to make effort on everyone. Otherwise, according to the present result , there are complaints even now. This is a lack of service . Therefore, you were told that when you fill that soul with everything, that fruit will also be just as worthy. Just think about the fruit you would put in front of important people. It would be big and beautiful. What was it you used to see when you brought something to Baba in the corporeal form? So, now, those who prepare such fruits can bring them in front of BapDada. Therefore, pay attention to this. The more you yourself become full of all virtues, the more you will be able to fill others with them. The face of each creator is visible from his creation. Service is the mirror for all of you through which you can see your internal stage. Just as you can see your face easily and clearly in a mirror, in the same way, through the mirror of service , you can have an easy and clear vision not of your features but of your character. That is the mirror for the face, and this is the mirror for the character. Do each of you have a clear vision of yourself? You should be able to. If, even now, you do not have a clear vision, how would you be able to make yourself complete? Only when you know about your weaknesses will you be able to fill yourself with power. Therefore, if you do not have a clear vision of your own self, you can definitely take help from the instrument sisters and make effort to have a clear vision of yourself. This is not BapDada’s task. BapDada's task is only to give a signal.

What should the features of the teachers be like? Teachers should do service through their angelic features . The words, “This is my nature” , should not emerge from the lips of the teachers . To say this is a sign of a lack of power. You do not use the word “effort” with the meaning of effort, but you have made the word “effort” into an instrument to free yourself from making effort. Therefore, your own words come in front of you through your creation. Therefore, just as an echo always comes back to you, so you must pay as much attention even to your own thoughts. Sometimes, Baba receives the news that students do not listen to anyone these days. They make effort but are not moving forward. They are still standing where they were. Why is there this result ? This is a return of your own stage, because students , whilst moving along, also recognise the weaknesses of the instrument teachers and take advantage of that. Achcha.
