"Catching Power – the main basis of effort."

Today, BapDada is seeing two things in each of you: to what extent each of you has become knowledge-full and powerful . In this, Baba is also seeing how powerful the catching power of each of you is. The main basis of effort is catching power . Nowadays, scientists try to catch sound, but what is it that all of you catch with the power of silence ? Just as they try to catch the sound of a time from the past, in the same way, what is it that you catch ? Can you catch your divine sanskars of 5000 years ago? Have you imbibed that much catching power ? Those people are able to catch the sound of others, but you not only catch your original sanskars, but you also create your own practical form. Always keep in your consciousness that you were that, and that you are now, once again, becoming that. The more you are able to catch those sanskars, the more you will be able to become that form. Make your consciousness powerful , that is, make it elevated and clear. Just as you have a clear experience of your present form and your present sanskars, in the same way, you should clearly experience your original form and sanskars. Do you understand? You need catching power to that extent. Just as, at present, you have your activity and your task clearly in your consciousness, in the same way, your original activity should clearly and easily be in your consciousness. Always have the determined thought that that’s what you were. Something of 5000 years ago should be experienced as clearly as though it is a matter of yesterday. This is called catching power. You must make your consciousness that elevated and clear before you leave here. You have come to a bhatthi, have you not? You should constantly be able to see your original form and original sanskars in front of you. By making your consciousness powerful , your attitude and vision will automatically become powerful .

What will this group of kumars become? You will be the future kumars, that is, you will become unique. Others will have visions of your two forms from your two eyes. What two forms? You were told about this: the incorporeal form and the form of one who has adopted divine virtues - the angelic and the divine form. Each of you will have the experience, and others will have the experience from you as though you are a walking and moving lighthouse and might-house . Do you have such a vision of your own form? If you can catch and experience something of 5000 years ago, then can you not experience your final form? Whatever weakness now remains, remove that and become an embodiment of experience before you return. So, now make sure that no weakness remains. You must bring about such a transformation from this bhatthi. Just as when golden-aged souls incarnate, they do not have the slightest knowledge of this effort-making life, in the same way, you should be able to merge within yourself the knowledge of weaknesses and defects. For that, this group especially has to remember two things. These two things are included in two expressions: One is to consider this old world to be a “ Guest house” , and the second is, "Get out !", that is, throw it out, and don't allow it to re-enter in the future. Then you will never have any experience of weaknesses or defects. This is easy effort, is it not? This group has to show wonders. Therefore, always have the aim not to take rest from service in your thoughts, words or deeds for even a second ; only then will you become the best and then rest for 21 births. Do you understand?

This is a group of hard workers . There is no rest for a hard workers' group . They never take rest and they do not waste anything either. This is why this hard workers' group and spiritual servers' gathering do not think about anything but service. This is the task that comes with your name. You must remember that you have to offer yourself for service; only then will you receive congratulations from BapDada. The hard workers' group and spiritual servers' group should always remember the slogan : Our target is to merge within and to confront. This is the slogan for this group . You have to confront Maya, not the divine family. What do you have to merge within? You have to merge your old sanskars within yourself. Together with being knowledge-full , you also have to be powerful . Only then will you become serviceable . Achcha.

When you see the ceremony of applying a tilak, do you remember the crowning ceremony? This tilak now is for stabilising yourself in your perfect form. Later you will receive a tilak for the kingdom. This tilak is for making a promise and bringing about revelation. Do you have that much power ? BapDada is giving these special teachings to the spiritual servers' group . Become those who give regard to the same extent as you consider yourself to have a right. First of all, you have to give regard, and then claim a right. Giving regard and claiming a right should go together. What will happen if you do not give regard, but simply claim a right? Whatever you do will become useless. Therefore, keep both these aspects together. Achcha.
