"Methods to transform the lokik into alokik"

What day of the bhatthi is it today? Today, it is the day for surrendering yourself completely. You consider it to be this day and this is why you have called BapDada. Are you ready to surrender completely or do you think that you have already surrendered completely? Today, it is a celebration for those who have surrendered completely. Have all of you surrendered completely? What is the vision like of those who have surrendered completely? (Their vision and attitude are pure.) But with what method did their vision and attitude become pure? In just one word, it can be said that there is spirituality in their vision and attitude, that is, their vision and attitude become spiritual. When you do not see the body, the vision becomes pure. When your eyes do not even see non-living things, your attitude will not be drawn towards them. If your vision does not go towards them, neither will your attitude. Your attitude is drawn towards them when your vision is drawn towards them. Spiritual vision means that you have to see yourself and others as spirits. Even while looking at the body, you must not see it. You should have such practice . For example, when someone is deep in thought, even while he is walking, eating, drinking or whatever he is doing, he does not realise how much he has already done or what he has eaten. In the same way, you will not see the body even while looking at it, but you will be busy seeing yourself as a soul. Your stage will then become such that when anyone asks you what so-and-so was like, you will not know. Your stage will be like that. However, that will only happen when you transform the lokik things that you see into their spiritual form. In order to bring about transformation in yourself, you will have to change your way of seeing lokik things and lokik relations. You will have to have a spiritual awareness of lokik things. When you look at lokik relations, you must consider them to be the final generation of the children of Brahma Baba. They are part of the dynasty of Brahma. Brahma is the creator. So, whether they are devotees, enlightened souls or ignorant souls, they are also part of that generation, are they not? So, even lokik relations are part of the dynasty of Brahma. However, some are in a close relationship whereas others are in a distant relationship. It is the same when you see anything lokik: whether you are working in your office or doing your business, eating food or looking at or speaking about something, you should have a spiritual awareness of every lokik thing. You have to continue to move for the activity of your body, but while going towards your lokik work with the feet of the body, at the same time, consider with your intellect that you are moving towards your alokik land and bringing benefit. The feet are walking here, but the intellect is engaged on the pilgrimage of remembrance. Just as you give food to the body, in the same way, continue to give the soul the food of remembrance. This remembrance is food for the soul. At the time you give food to your body, also give the soul strength through the power of remembrance.

What do you have to do to bring about transformation within yourself? You have to change everything from lokik into alokik. Through this, people will realise that you are a special alokik soul. Even while living amongst the lokiks, you are different from them. With the awareness of the soul, you have to consider yourself to be detached. It is easy to become detached from your duties and your work. You will not be loved by the world through that. You will be loved by the world when you perform your tasks while considering yourself to be a soul, detached from the body. You must not be detached from just the things of the world, but you first have to be detached from your body. You will be loved when you become detached from your body. You will then be loved by your own mind, by God and by the world. Why are you not loved by the people at present? Because you have not become detached from your body. You simply try to become detached from the bodily relations. They then complain to you and say: How much have you changed yourself? You will continue to receive complaints until you first become detached from your body. If you become detached from the body you will not receive any complaints. Then, you will be loved by the world. Some look at themselves and also look at the things of the world outside. They change those other things first and then change themselves. This is why there is no impact. In order to create an impact, you first have to transform yourself. You have to bring about transformation in your vision, attitude and consciousness, as well as in the way you use your wealth and your time. Then you will be loved by the world. What do you have to do after you have completely surrendered yourself? Baba is telling you what your walking and talking should be like. It should be like your memorial which has been shown in the scriptures. Who made whom surrender completely? And in how much time? Do you remember the memorial? (The example of King Janak.) That was inspired by the children, but there is also the memorial in which the Father made him surrender completely. They have shown Vaman (an incarnation of the god Vishnu as a midget), that is, they have shown something small. What has the smallest form? The soul and the Supreme Soul. So the Father came and took everything from Maya, Bali. He (God) made the most powerful one completely surrender everything in three steps. All of you have to surrender completely. That is, you have to renounce the power of Maya. You must not become strong with the power of Maya, but you must become strong with Godly power. So just as they have portrayed the three steps, what are the three things that are spoken of through which there is complete surrender? What are the teachings for your thoughts, words and actions? If you remember these three things, you will become completely surrendered. What are these three things? One is to renounce your body and bodily relations, and remember Me alone. This is for your thoughts. What teachings do you receive for your words? Every second, just as you pick up pearls, in the same way, you must only let jewels emerge from your mouth. You must not donate stones to others, but jewels of knowledge. And, for your actions, you must remember: Whatever actions I perform, others will see me and do the same; and, also, those who do something will receive the return of it. Both these aspects put power into your actions, that is to say, those who come into connection with you will receive power through this. Do you understand? If you remember these main things for your thoughts, words and actions, you will be able to make your surrender complete and eternal. The intoxication that you have here of complete surrender should not decrease later. If you firmly remember that you have surrendered completely, this imperishable remembrance will then make you imperishable. If you fluctuate a little, then obstacles will also make you fluctuate. People will ridicule your fluctuation and your obstacles. BapDada continues to see everything anyway.

Whom will you live with? What will you do if your Companion lets go of your finger? All of you must fulfil the responsibility of keeping company. BapDada tries to fulfil the responsibility of keeping your company in one way or another. That is to say, He tries to hold on to your finger to such an extent that He gives life to even those who are in their last breath. However, if some do not let BapDada give them oxygen , or if they remove the tube, what can He do? In fact, if you want BapDada’s co-operation, you do not even need to ask for it. Those who are loving automatically receive co-operation. If you have love for BapDada, you automatically receive co-operation; there is no need to ask for it. In the form of devotees you have been asking for half a cycle. If you continue to ask, even now as a child, then what difference is there between the devotees and the children? You continue to ask for co-operation as ignorant souls. If you consider yourself to be one with a right, you do not need to ask for it. Whatever has happened is the past. Now, you must also transform all the experiences you have had. Do not think about whatever has happened. Learn a lesson from whatever has happened and be cautious in the future. If you continue to think about whatever has happened in the past that will become an obstacle. Many obstacles come, and that would be a new obstacle arising. In order to transform the past, and to fill yourself with strength, you should think about it in this way. However, instead, you think: Why did this happen? How did it happen? How will it happen now? Will I be able to take a high jump or not? Do not ask all these questions . Put a full-stop instead of question marks . It is easy to put a full-stop. Whether someone can write a question mark or not, everyone here knows how to ask questions . Continue to apply a full stop and you will be able to stabilise yourself in the stage of a point.

What do you do after you have explained the museum or the exhibition to people? You give everyone a leaflet about what they have to do after having seen the museum or the exhibition. So, today, BapDada is asking the children: What will you do after the bhatthi? How will you make the task of the yagya progress? What will you adopt as a method for your progress? You have to imbibe the divine virtues and become loving anyway, but what will you do in a practical form? All of you related how you will be loving and co-operative to BapDada and the family, but in what aspects do you have to become that? Together with your thoughts, words and actions, you also have to change yourself in terms of your body, mind and wealth. It is when you become a helper and are faithful that you will be able to be loving and co-operative to BapDada and the family. What is the sign of those who are co-operative? They will be close to the family and BapDada in their thoughts and actions. As you continue to come closer to one another in opinion, all conflict of opinion will finish. You have been given the method to become helpers and be faithful. Secondly, in what way should those who have surrendered completely use their mind, body, wealth and time? Of course, you have to pay attention to your family, but do you have the accurate judgement of whether you are using accurately the four things that you have been given? Is a completely surrendered soul giving his body, mind, wealth and time to the extent that he should? You must maintain the account of how you use your body, mind, wealth and time. Just as you maintain an account of your home, in the same way, those who have surrendered completely should also write this account. Where and how did you use your body? You have to write it in short, but clearly. There is also detail , but sometimes it is not clear. This is why it should be short and clear. The shorter and clearer you write it, the more clear your internal stage will also become. If you keep your thoughts short , your news will be short and the line of effort will be clear . Then your news will also be clear. Your whole register will be included in this. Thirdly, remember that whatever you have been continuing to do in your thoughts, words and actions due to lack of effort has to be completely removed from the intellect, as though you have taken a new birth. In your effort, you have to leave behind all the things of weakness here. Then you will not write in your letters how such and such happened due to the sanskars of the past. Since you have surrendered completely, you must think that that was something you have already donated. If you take what you have donated back again, what would be the result? When you maintain this awareness, all the four things will be transformed. You must never let such words emerge from your mouth. Why do obstacles come in front of you? Because you have imbibed knowledge in the wrong way. If you make a mistake, you say: We have not yet become perfect; there is still time remaining; we are still effort-makers. Effort-makers do not have the freedom to make mistakes. However, nowadays, most of you think that to be an effort-maker means that your mistakes are forgiven. This one is doing this; therefore I have to do this. This one has become agyani (one without knowledge) instead of being a gyani (enlightened) soul. What do you have to remember? Whoever does something receives the return of that. Whatever I do, when others see me, they will do the same. I must not do what I see others doing. I should perform such actions that when others see me they will be inspired to do the same. You have imbibed these minor things in the wrong way. Instead of taking advantage of knowledge in the right way, you use it in the wrong way, and so there is weakness in your effort. Although these are things about not making effort, you instead think that these are things for a life of effort. Therefore, you have been using, as an instrument, points of knowledge to hide the weakness in your effort. Finish all these methods and then all your obstacles will automatically finish. You have to imbibe four powers. In fact, it is one and the same Godly power, but this is said in order to make it clear. 1) The power to merge, that is, the power to make something short 2) The power to accommodate 3) The power to tolerate and 4) The power to confront. However, whom do you have to confront? Not BapDada or the divine family, but the power of Maya.

If you imbibe all these four powers, you will be able to remain completely and eternally surrendered. It is said: Keep everything short and also sort everything out: I have to think this, and not this, I have to become this and not this. Continue to sort everything out and then make everything as short as possible. If, whatever you say in ten words is made short , the essence can then be told in two words. Then, by making it short in this way, everything will become short . You have to make such effort after the bhatthi.

Remember one thing: Just as BapDada revealed all of you children in front of the world, similarly, it is now the task of you children to reveal BapDada to all souls through your every act and in every situation. That is your duty. You also have to check your chart in that you have given the Father’s message up to now, but, with that message, have you also revealed the love for and the relationship with BapDada to those souls? No. So what is that service? You must not do incomplete service. You have now completely surrendered and so you have to do complete service. Therefore, each of you must also check: Today, to how many souls and to what extent did I reveal the love for and relationship with BapDada through my thoughts, words and deeds? Simply to give a message is not service. To give a message means to make that one your relative. To make them your relatives means to make them Brahma Kumars or Kumaris who belong to the clan of Shiva. This is what it means to make them your relatives. You will make them your relatives when you make them loving. By becoming loving, they will become relatives. Simply to give a message is the service of a crawling speed whereas to do this is to do service at a fast speed. Spread the sound in the world of how BapDada is carrying out His task in an incognito way. Bring them into that love and relationship. All of them are your relatives, are they not? So remind your relatives of their relationship. Make the souls who have become separated loving. Now, the incognito form of service is taking place; the revealed form of service is not happening. When they come to the museum and see the external form, that is something else, but the form of service at present is incognito. When the form of service is revealed, revelation will take place. Make new plans of how service can grow. How can you create that sound? Now go and give them the information and the message without any hesitation at all. Continue to hold exhibitions, but after that, you yourself must also do what you tell them. Get together and think about how the world can come to know of the present time and the task that is now being carried out. In whatever way, the sound should reach them. The service that should happen through the papers has not yet happened. In one gathering, understand one another, be co-operative and bring about the unlimited form of service in an unlimited way.

Everyone in this group has the enthusiasm emerged of definitely becoming 100% in the way that BapDada wants. Since it is in an emerged (visible) form it will happen. The day is also close when what everyone has in their mind - to surrender themselves totally from their lokik task - will happen. However, that will only happen when you have surrendered with your mind. Then, it will not take long to surrender yourself from your lokik task. At this time surrender your mind. A number will be given according whoever’s result is good. Whether there is a programme for a bhatthi or not, Madhuban is a bhatthi anyway. You will continue to come to Madhuban and continue to give your proof of becoming immortal. The greatest surrender is to surrender your thoughts. No thoughts should be wasted. It is because of these thoughts that time and energy are wasted. So you have to surrender yourself completely with your thoughts. You now have to put the enthusiasm in your mind into a practical form. Achcha.
