"Experimenting with the Power of Silence."

Do you consider yourselves to be forms of love and power? Do you know what the task of Shaktis is? What two main forms of Shaktis are praised? What do people especially show in your memorials? What is the main speciality in the images of Shaktis? You yourselves are Shaktis and yet you do not know your own specialities! The specialities of the Shaktis are that they are images that destroy something just as much as they are images of love. The eyes of the Shaktis are always embodiments of love, but they are also fearsome to the same extent that they are images of love. They (the Shaktis) can make anyone an embodiment of love in a second , and they can even destroy someone in a second . So, in the same way, do you see both virtues in yourselves? Are both virtues in a visible form or are they incognito? The form of love is visible, whereas the form of power is incognito. So, when will you reveal that fearsome form? Do you know what special slogan BapDada is giving today? "Not some time, but now." Weak ones say, “Some time.” Brave, courageous Shaktis say, “Now.” Just as you yourselves are imperishable , in the same way, it is impossible for you to be trapped by Maya and be destroyed. It is impossible for those who are imperishable to move along in the waves of Maya. It is impossible for those who remain in the imperishable stage to become subservient to any form of Maya, just as you would say that that is impossible for BapDada. How can others bow down to those who are themselves subservient? You are the ones who make the entire world bow down in front of you, are you not? Not a single thought or word of the Shaktis, who are lionesses, can go to waste. They do whatever they say. Because thoughts are invaluable treasures of life, they do not have any difference between their thoughts and their actions. Just as you do not waste your physical treasures, in the same way, Shiv Shaktis, both of whose virtues are visible in their images, do not waste even a second . They experience benefit for the self and for others in their every thought. They can bring benefit to anyone in a second with just one thought. This is why the Shaktis are known as benefactors. Just as BapDada is the Benefactor, in the same way, the children are also very well known as benefactors. Now, you have to see the account of how many thoughts were successful and how many thoughts were unsuccessful in so many seconds . Nowadays, scientists have progressed so much that, even while sitting somewhere, they can bring about destruction through their weapons in a second . In the same way, is the power of silence of the Shaktis not able to work in a second , no matter where they may be sitting? There should be no need for you to go anywhere, or for anyone to come to you. You can bring souls in front of you by attracting them with your pure thoughts. There is no need for you to go somewhere physically to make effort. Now, you will also see such an impact. Just as you were told by the corporeal form to shoot the arrow in such a way that the bird comes to you together with the arrow, so, this will now happen through your will-power .

Which light spreads the furthest? That of a lighthouse . So you now have to become a lighthouse and a searchlight . You must not be an ordinary bulb . Only those who can search themselves can become a searchlight . You will become a searchlight to the extent that you can search yourself. If you are not able to search yourself, you will not be able to become a searchlight . That time has now come. Now, you must not just be powerful , but you must have will-power and wide-power . Will-power and wide-power , that is, your vision and attitude should be on an unlimited level. So, what will you now add ? You have power , but you now need will-power and wide-power . In what form is BapDada seeing all of you today? Stars of hope. At present, you are stars of hope and later you will become stars of success. So BapDada is seeing the present and also the future forms. Success is the garland around your neck. Can you see the garland of success around your neck? What decoration do you have at the confluence age? A garland of success is around the neck of each of you, according to your capacity and your worthiness. So BapDada is seeing the decoration of the children. Children who are decorated are very much liked. What thought does BapDada have now? Can you catch what BapDada is going to say to you? Nowadays, the Father comes to enable you to do the drill of the intellect. You now have to be revealed on the field. It is no longer time to remain incognito. The more visible you become, the more you will glorify BapDada. Are you becoming rulers of the globe by touring around the unlimited? What would you call someone who remains seated in one place? Those who stabilise themselves in one place and continue to do service from there, but do not tour around the unlimited, will receive an individual kingdom in the future. The Father also became co-operative with everyone. Those who forge a relationship with every soul of the world and are co-operative with them all will become kings of the world. Just as BapDada has love for the whole world and is co-operative with everyone, in the same way, children have to follow the Father . Only then can they claim a right to the status of world emperor. The calculation of what you receive is balanced against what you give. Now, you especially have to reveal yourself by making a promise. You must not make others famous, but you have to reveal the Father. When you are revealed, you will then become famous. You have kept the aim of claiming a right to the world, have you not? You now have to make this intense effort. What is the easy method to have unlimited disinterest in this old world very easily? (A few gave their ideas.) Those of you who related something related it obviously considering it to be easy, did you not? If it is easy, then you have easily become those who have unlimited disinterest. If you cannot apply this to yourself, how can you apply it to others? People speak of unlimited disinterest. Where do those who have disinterest live? Baba is giving you a very easy method: if you wish to have unlimited disinterest, constantly consider yourself to be a Madhuban resident. However, you must not just see Madhuban by itself. Madhuban is always shown with Madhusudan (Lord Krishna.) So, when you remember Madhuban, you also remember BapDada, the divine family, renunciation, tapasya and service. Madhuban is also the land of tapasya. Madhuban enables you to renounce everything in a second . Here, you have become those who have unlimited disinterest. So Madhuban is that which makes you into a renunciate who has disinterest. Only when you have unlimited disinterest can you do unlimited service . You should not have attachment anywhere. You must not have attachment to yourself either, let alone attachment to others.

Today, Bap and Dada were having a heart-to-heart conversation with each other. Today, BapDada was seeing a scene in the subtle region in the early hours of the morning. BapDada was seeing to what extent each child is tied in bondage, and also to what extent the bondage of each one is broken and to what extent it is not broken. Some have a bondage tied with a very thick rope, whereas the bondage of others is less. Some even have a bondage of a weak thread. BapDada was seeing the scene of which ones had a bondage tied with a weak thread and which ones had a bondage tied with a thick rope. Some have a bondage tied with a thin rope, but nevertheless, it would still be said to be a bondage. There is one or another type of weak or strong thread. Even a bondage of a weak thread would still be called a bondage. It is just that they will not take long, whereas those who have a bondage tied with a thick rope will take a longer time and also need to make greater effort. So BapDada was seeing this scene in the subtle region. All of you know yourselves anyway as to whether you have a bondage of thick rope or thin rope, whether it is weak or strong thread, and whether you are in bondage or are free. The meaning of being free means to be clear. Even then BapDada is happy because you still perform wonders, but BapDada now wishes to see you go even beyond that. You name will be on everyone’s lips to the extent that you have BapDada's name on your lips. Madhuban is the land of transformation; so what do you have to transform before you go? You understand that, do you not? Achcha.
