"Consider your body and mind to be entrusted to you in order to be free from attractions."

Where have you called BapDada to and why? Where are you now sitting? You are in Madhuban, but where in Madhuban has Baba come? Are you sitting in a flower garden or a gathering? BapDada is seeing the spiritual spirits, and, together with that, He is taking the fragrance of the spirit that has emerged from each flower. Just as those people extract essence from flowers which is called the spirit. The fragrance of that is very good and sweet. So, while in Madhuban, Baba went on a tour of the spiritual world. All of you have to perform every action while in the stage of a spiritual form; only then will there be sparkle in service and in your actions. You now wish to bring about newness, do you not? Or are you content moving along as you are? There will be a new sparkle when there is spirituality in your every action, every thought and in your speech. How can you bring about spirituality? What do you have to do to maintain spirituality constantly? What do you have to change? (Every one gave a different answer.) These are the main things which are firm with everyone, but what is the reason for not maintaining spirituality? Why are you not able to remain faithful and obedient? (The lack of relationship.) Why is there a lack in relationship? All of you have the tilak of faith in the intellect. The question is: why isn’t there spirituality constantly? The reason for there not being spirituality constantly is that you don’t consider the self and those for whom you are instruments in service , to be BapDada’s entrusted property. The more you consider yourself and others to be BapDada’s entrusted property, the more spirituality there will be. There is some weakness when you do not consider yourself to be BapDada’s property. Create the thoughts you have in your mind while considering the mind to be given to you in trust. Do not misuse that which is entrusted to you. In other words, you explain to others while considering them to be trustees , do you not? You call them trustees , but you must consider your mind and body, and whatever else you have received for use as an instrument - whether it is a student, the centre or any physical object - to be something that is given to you in trust. When you consider it to be given to you in trust, you will remain unattracted by it. Your intellect will not be drawn to it. It is only when you remain unattracted that there will be spirituality. You have to surrender yourself to the Flame to this extent. You have surrendered yourselves, but to what extent? “These are my sanskars.” The words, ‘my sanskars’ should be erased. Where did ‘my sanskars’ come from? Because of ‘my sanskars’ these things happen. You have to surrender yourself to such an extent that even your nature changes. When the nature of all of you changes, your pictures will become angelic. What are the pictures of the perfect stage of the confluence age? What is the speciality of angels? One is that there is complete lightness. Because of that lightness, they are able to adapt their stage according to the circumstances. Those who are heavy cannot adapt themselves to any circumstance. So the main speciality of angels is that they remain light in all aspects. They remain light in thoughts, light in their speech, light in their actions and light in their relationships. If there is lightness in these four aspects, then that is the stage of an angel. So now check: To what extent is there lightness in these four aspects? Those who are light will be able to recognise the sanskars of any soul within a second, and they will also be able to make a decision, within a second , about any circumstance that comes in front of them. This is a sign of an angel. When all these virtues are practically visible in all your actions then you can understand that your perfect stage is close. In what aspects were you able to see the perfect stage of the sakar form? The main thing is that you have to recognise your own perfect stage through these things. What is the main virtue of this group ? That group was of those who have love for the yagya. This group is of those who are co-operative with the yagya.

All of you have passed in being co-operative with the yagya. What else do you have to do? There will also be such a stage that whatever thought arises in someone’s mind, it will reach you in advance. There will be no need to say it or hear it. However, it will happen when in order to read the thoughts of others you fully apply a brake to your own thoughts. The brake should be powerful . If you are not able to merge your own thoughts, how will you understand the thoughts of others. This is why you were told to continue to finish the expansion of thoughts. The greater your power to merge thoughts, the greater the power there will be to understand the thoughts of others. Because of going into the expansion of your own thoughts, you are not able to understand yourself, so how would you be able to understand others? This is why you will continue to reach this stage numberwise according to effort. This is also a sign of the perfect stage . Check yourself to see how close you have come to your perfect stage . Recognise this by yourself through these criteria.

This is an ‘ all-rounder’ group. What is the aim of those who are ‘ all-rounders’ ? You have the characteristics of that aim, but you must keep a higher aim. According to what you are in the practical form now, which of you would qualify as a king? According to the result of service at present, which kings will you become? One’s status is clear through one’s effort. You may be part of the sun dynasty. However, one is to be the emperor of the world, but, as well as the world emperor, there are also the kings of your empire. Now, which kings are you? Who will come in the beginning? What are the methods to become the world emperor or to be a close relative of the world emperor? There will be world benefit anyway, but what are the signs now of those who will become world emperors? This is a world of Brahmins, that is, it is a small world. Those who are to become world emperors will have a relationship with the whole world, that is, with each soul of the Brahmin clan. Those who come into relationship with everyone in this small family are the ones who will become world emperors. Now, which kings will you become? One are those who themselves sit on the throne, and then there are those who will be closely co-operative with those who are to be seated on the throne. If you also want to be those who are closely co-operative, what will you have to do for that now? You will have to be co-operative in one way or another with all souls of the entire divine family. One is to be an instrument for the service of the whole clan, the other is just to be an instrument and to be co-operative with everyone in one way or another. They will be closely co-operative souls there in the same way. So, now check yourself. You will become world emperors, will you not? Day by day, you will continue to see who will become the world emperors numberwise. It isn’t that you cannot become that now. You can take a jump even now. It is still possible to make up time, but there is very little time. There is very little time and so you will have to make special effort, but you can make it up . What will be the sanskars of the world emperors? Today, BapDada is teaching you the education to become world emperors. So what will be their sanskars? Just as you saw in the practical form that Baba is loved by all and that Baba has love for all, in the same way, flowers of love will be showered on those from within each and every one. When the flowers of love are showered on you here, there will be showers of flowers on your non-living images. So check yourself: How much am I, the soul, being showered with the flowers of love here? That cannot remain hidden. To the extent that there are the flowers of love, to that extent, you will be offered flowers in worship in the copper age. People go to offer a flower in some places only sometimes, whereas in other places, there is a shower of many flowers every day. Do you know what the reason for that is? So keep the aim of being worthy of the flowers of love from everyone. How do you receive love? When you give co-operation to everyone you will receive co-operation and you will be worthy of the love of those with whom you become co-operative. Only such souls can become world emperors. Therefore keep a high aim.

Today, Baba is remembering an image of the path of devotion. Today, Baba was seeing you and was also smiling. Baba was seeing that all of you are those who give a finger. Have you given your finger, or do you still have to give it? How far has the finger reached? If you still have to give your finger, it means that you have not yet given it to the extent that it should reach. The mountain has not yet been lifted. Why? Is it that heavy? The fingers of so many have come together, so why then has the mountain still not been lifted? The memorial of the previous cycle shows there was success when the power of everyone came together collectively. This is why it is lifted slightly and then put down again. Each of you is giving your finger, but there is now a need to give it collectively. You have given your own finger, but there will only be power within the gathering when there is that strength. Now, the Shakti Army is to be revealed. All of you have become flowers, but all of you now have to come together collectively in the form of a bouquet. At present, some of the flowers sometimes reveal their own colour, some give their fragrance and others show their beauty. However, when all these aspects of beauty, colour and fragrance come together in the form of a bouquet, you will then be revealed in front of the world. You must make such plans that you collectively show newness to the whole world. Because each of you is separate, you have to make greater effort, but as a gathering there will be less effort and greater success. There will be success in service when you make the confluence-aged gathering successful. You have all the specialities, but they still remain to be used. Now, with your specialities, make others worthy to be brought close to the Father.

This is a group of those who lay the foundation of forging the relationship of souls with Baba. Their life later on will be according to the foundation you lay now. In all aspects, to the extent that you are strong, accordingly, you will lay a strong foundation for others. According to all the qualifications you have within yourself, so there will be the quality . If you have fewer qualifications , there will be a lower quality . Therefore, consider yourselves to be the ones who lay the foundation. Only when you make yourself equal to BapDada in His virtues will you be able to make others similar to yourself. Achcha.
