"Growth in service with a powerful attitude."
9 October 1971 · English
With what aim has this gathering come together? There is of course benefit in a gathering, but what is the aim of meeting together? Have you thought of any new plans ? This gathering is of the most elevated souls and the souls who are close. Everyone's vision is on the souls who are close and elevated. So the elevated souls have to think about how to bring about greatness and newness in their gathering and in their service . What is called newness? Newness means to create such easy yet powerful plans that, with that power , those powerful plans attract souls; to create such plans that souls are attracted from a distance. For example, no matter how far away moths are, the attraction of a flame is able to draw those moths. Similarly, if there is an intense fire burning somewhere, you can experience its heat from a distance. You understand that there is a fire there, or, if there is something cold, you experience its coolness from a distance and are attracted to it. In the same way, make your form and the form of service such that souls are attracted from a distance and come close. Just as when something spreads into the atmosphere, its influence spreads for quite some distance, in the same way, all the easy yogis and elevated souls should make their atmosphere so spiritual that the atmosphere around that area pulls other souls towards them because of that spirituality.
What is the main method to create an atmosphere? How can the atmosphere be created? You have to create the atmosphere through your attitude. When you have something in your attitude for someone, what do you say to that? "There is something in the atmosphere that they are saying about me." The foundation of the atmosphere is your attitude. Until you make your attitude powerful , there cannot be spirituality in the atmosphere or the expansion in service that you desire. If the seed is powerful , the tree is also powerful . Attitude is the seed and you can bring about progress in yourself and in service through that. The basis of expansion is attitude. With what do you have to fill your attitude so that it becomes powerful ? There is only one thing for this. Let there be the attitude of mercy and benefit for every soul. By having this attitude for all souls, your vibrations of mercy and benefit for them will automatically reach those souls. How does the sound of the radio reach you? It catches the vibrations in the atmosphere; it catches the vibrations through the wireless . Through science, all of them can catch one another's sound and are able to hear it. That is through the wireless and this is through spiritual power . This happens if your attitude is powerful . So, whatever vibrations are spread by your attitude, they will be experienced by those souls as clearly as the sound of a radio is heard as soon as you switch it on. Nowadays, you can catch the act and sound very clearly through television . In the same way, you can now do a lot of service through attitude. Through a television or radio station the sound spreads so far into all directions from the one place. In the same way, there should be so much power in your attitude that, according to how powerful your stage is, the vibrations should reach that far into the distance from wherever you may be sitting. In this way, to whatever extent each soul's attitude is powerful , accordingly, whilst sitting in one place, through the attitude that soul will attract other souls from all four directions. This service is now needed. Words and attitude should both go together, but what happens? When you do service through your attitude, you do not use words, and when you do service through words, power is lacking in your attitude. So what should it be? Nowadays in the cinema and on T.V. , they have the act and the sound at the same time; both take place at the same time. If you have this practice , there can be service through both words and attitude at the same time. By speaking too much, you are not able to make the atmosphere as powerful as you can through your attitude. By using words alone, the power of that only lasts for as long as they are personally in front of you or close to you. Attitude is more subtle than words, and so there is a greater influence from that which is subtle. There will be less influence through the gross form. So, as well as the gross power , there should also be subtle power. From both powers , the attitude should reveal something unique.
At present, there isn't a great difference visible. If both types of souls are present on one stage , the public should be able to see a great difference. If you observe this as a detached observer, are you able to see a great difference? When something is very powerful , it is not affected by other things. Here, too, on a physical stage, if you have a powerful , subtle stage , then no matter how powerfully others speak, they cannot influence the atmosphere. As a memorial, it is shown in the form of a physical battle how an arrow coming from one direction was broken on its way. The arrow was shot and it was destroyed in its path. You can make the atmosphere powerful through your attitude. At present, in some cases, because of your not having a sufficient powerful stage , there is the influence of all the other souls on your own stage and the atmosphere. Why? What is the reason for this? You are not able to spread a net of spirituality over other souls through your attitude. When you want to catch a particular soul, you have to surround him in such a way that he is not able to escape. When the net of spirituality is thrown into the atmosphere through your attitude, no soul is able to escape from the spiritual attraction. People are used to seeing miracles nowadays, and so you now need to do such service . Everyone thinks that someone should show some miracles, but instead of miracles, you here have to show wonders. They have miracles through occult powers, whereas you people show wonders through your attitude. Now, people should definitely experience some speciality from whoever shows wonders. However, what happens instead is that in some cases, you note the temporary influence of souls and see how they do certain things and how they speak. Therefore, because your vision is drawn elsewhere, the force of your own authority , which should be there, weakens. This is a very subtle law. You have made a promise: You will have only the One in your attitude, you will only listen to One, only see One and only think about One and none other. If you do something whilst keeping the influence of other souls in your intellect, or whilst seeing the influence of other souls, it breaks your link in a subtle way. In the beginning, you were the intoxicated beggars and wandering yogis. You were very powerful in revealing the power of your knowledge . Because of your having that power, the first creation was powerful. Is the creation now as powerful as the first creation? No matter how much enthusiasm there is now, the creation now is not as powerful as the first creation that was so powerful. Day by day, you are becoming experienced in knowledge, but do you also have the powerful stage that existed in the beginning? Do you have that fearlessness? Do you have those words of authority that they had in the beginning?
People refine many things very much, and so those things become very refined , but they also become powerless . Do the things of today that have been refined have the same force ? Here, too, the form of knowledge has become refined , your tact has been refined , but force is lacking. If you bring the earlier days into your awareness, how much intoxication did they have? It wasn't the attraction of knowledge , but there was an attraction on their forehead and in their eyes. People would experience from their eyes: These people that have come here belong to God. Now, because everything is mixed , you also appear to be mixed . Anything that is mixed gives a very good taste for a short period, but it does not have any strength. For example, chutney is so tasty, but it does not it have any power . The taste buds of the tongue are attracted by it for a temporary period. So, here, too, when you mix everything, they enjoy listening to it for a short period, but there is no power in that. Anything nourishing increases your energy , and that energy becomes your companion for all time. In this way, words of authority and originality make souls into forms of power for all time. Those who just present an entertaining or mixed form only create interest in other souls for a temporary period. Do you have to create interest in souls or fill them with power? What do you have to do? Power will continue to attract them for all time. However, if they have just been interested, because they have that interest for a little time, when they hear something else, then because their interest has been diverted, they will cease to be interested there and then. So, now become such wandering yogis. You should have such experiences as those saints who, after staying in their caves for a long time, come into the world for service. When you go onto a stage , others should experience you souls having been in the cave of introversion and spirituality for a long period of time and have now gone there for service. Your form of tapasya should be visible. The lines of unlimited renunciation should be visible on your face. When someone has even a little bit of disinterest, his sparkle reveals that he has disinterest in everything. So the attitude of unlimited disinterest should be visible in you. When you go onto a stage for service , your face should be experienced as a projector . One by one they continue to change slides in that and people observe them with so much attention . That scene is very clearly visible. When you go onto a stage for service , the face of each of you should be seen to be like a projector . The virtue of being merciful should be visible on your face. You are those who have unlimited disinterest and so the lines of unlimited disinterest should be visible on your faces. You have been made instruments by the Almighty Authority, and so the form of authority should be visible. Slides are inserted into a projector and then they are shown clearly, one by one. In the same way, each sanskar of all the virtues and all the powers with which you souls are filled should be clearly visible from your faces. This is called service . You saw the example of sakar Baba; you had the practical vision of every virtue from his face. So, follow the father . No matter with what authority someone comes, or in whatever mood someone comes, what can they do in front of those who have the personality of virtues, the personality of spirituality and the personality of all powers? They will bow down. They will not be able to spread their influence. Due to your making the atmosphere powerful with your attitude, their attitude and their internal vibrations will change. Everyone used to speak of the power of attitude. You saw the practical proof of the authority of words and attitude, and so you should follow that. You have now passed in the form of love. What do you have to pass in now? The final form is that of power. When any soul comes to you, you first of all adopt the form of love of a world mother. However, when that soul begins to move along and has to face Maya, then, in order to face Maya and to become co-operative, you also have to adopt the form of power.
Where instrument souls are just embodiments of love, their creation has very little power to be able to face problems. They will have love and be co-operative with the yagya and the divine family, but they will not be able to face problems. What is the reason for this? The creator (the instrument soul) influences the creation. Now, in order to make souls move forward from wherever they have already reached, what do the special souls especially have to do? There is a need to fill the souls, for whom you are the instruments, with power from your own form of power. At the present time, what is the result of the majority of souls? They do not move backwards, but they do not move forward. They are neither stuck anywhere nor trapped, but they do not have any power to be able to take a jump; they need extra force . A rocket is filled with force and then sent very high. So, you now need to sustain souls. According to their own power, they are not able to take a jump . So the special souls have to fill those souls with special power to enable them to take a high jump . They wish this; they are also making effort, but there now has to be force . How will you give that force ? When you yourself first have the force that you are able to make yourself move forward, you will then be able to donate power. Just as you donate knowledge, so now you need to donate the force of power. You now have to perform the task of being a bestower of blessings. You have given a lot of knowledge as a bestower of knowledge. You now have to become a bestower of the blessing of power. This is why people always ask goddesses for blessings. How will they receive success from the goddesses? What service do you have to do now? Become embodiments that grant blessings and give blessings of all powers to your creation for whom you are instruments. The special souls who have become instruments can do this service to a greater extent. This is a group of special souls.
As you were told, it is very easy to become a mike , but the service of all of you is to fill might – many will become mikes . This is needed now. Now is not the time to remain engrossed in effort on yourself. Now, it is time to be revealed through your own effort and to create an impact, and that impact will automatically attract souls.
What is the praise of the Pandavas? They were revealed after they remained incognito. Now, you should also be revealed. Just as you are being revealed on a physical stage , in the same way, now reveal your subtle stage . Create a powerful creation. If you create a weak creation, it will take a long time to look after that weak creation. By your having a powerful creation, they will be co-operative with you. Now, you should challenge them. Goddesses are worshipped because of their challenge. The sign of their power that is remembered as their memorial is of people calling out very loudly. They reveal their internal force in this way. People do not worship the goddesses quietly. They worship the goddesses with a lot of noise. So the Shaktis have to issue a challenge and make a lot of noise and be powerful in proving their principles. Only then will you attain success. Ordinary souls also make so much effort to prove their principles whilst being fearless. So all of you should have so much force to prove your principles. You become influenced by the atmosphere. You have to repeat the part of the beginning in a deep, significant and entertaining way. Look how much intoxication those who show normal miracles have! Internally, they understand that that is only for a temporary period, and yet they have so much intoxication. However, true intoxication is able to show very many wonders. What is their intoxication in front of yours? Now, what is the last course that remains? You have to become the form of an embodiment of force . You have been world mothers for a long time, now you have to come onto the stage as a form of power. Shaktis finish devilish sanskars with one stroke, whereas a loving mother would sustain them very slowly with a lot of love. You needed that in the beginning, but there is now a need to be the form of power and to finish the devilish sanskars with one stroke. However, when a sacrifice is offered, first of all, the sacrifice is decorated. That takes time. Then the sacrifice is offered in a second . You have applied many decorations, and you should now have the force of finishing the devilish sanskars even in the atmosphere with just one stroke. Along with having mercy you must have spiritual intoxication. You must not just be merciful. To the extent that you have deep spiritual intoxication, so you should have deep mercy. You should have merciful feelings even in your words. It is now time for doing such service . Whose praise is it when it is said, "You take them beyond with just one glance"? You will always see beauty in the eyes of the images of the goddesses. There may not be anything else as attractive, but they reveal all their feelings through their eyes. So this is taking others beyond with just a glance. This service of the Shaktis has also been remembered. There should be attraction in the eyes, spirituality in the eyes, spiritual intoxication in the eyes, mercy in the eyes. You have to create such a plan .
Your creation should experience that the special souls, this Shakti Army, that have emerged from Madhuban, (in 1971) have come having filled themselves in order to reveal their power. People should experience their influential attitude and behaviour. The progress of the entire divine family is based upon you. Everyone thinks: After this programme, there will be progress in us souls and in service . If you finish the programme ordinarily, then everyone will have thoughts about it. Everyone is waiting in anticipation to see what speciality this gathering of special souls will show. So you have to pay that much attention .
Firstly, you have to bring about newness in service , and secondly, there should be newness visible in the souls who have become instruments because the whole of service is based on special souls. At present, everyone thinks that, just as the scientists are creating powerful inventions , in the same way, this group of Shaktis will show the elevated weapons created through powerful silence . You must not just meet together, but, having come together, create a powerful weapon. Anything that is extremely powerful remains underground . So this gathering is also underground . It is a gathering of those who create thoughts whilst being in a state of introspection. Now, you have to show wonders. Everyone has common gatherings; so, if you also do something common , who would show wonders? You now have to create such weapons, because this is definitely why the Shaktis are shown with weapons. Now, you must become one who destroys. Be a destroyer of your own sanskars and also a destroyer of the tamoguni sanskars of other souls. You have to play the part of Shankar in a practical way. However, only the Shaktis play the part of destroying. Shankar does not have to play this part. You Shaktis have to adopt the form of a destroyer through which you have to destroy evil. You have performed this task, so now you have to show this form. What will be the result of adopting this form? Your creation will experience, day by day, that they are receiving an extra lift . They have applied their own force according to their capacity; they cannot now continue to move along by their own efforts. They now need the lift of blessings. Whatever they have found difficult up to today, the word difficult should be finished for them through your powerful service . They should experience everything to be easy. When you see this in your creation, you can then understand that you have become a destroyer. The result should be visible very clearly. Then, the storms (toofan) will not seem like storms, but like a gift (tohfa). When your form has changed in this way, you can then understand that you are granting a vision of your original stage.
Out of all the aspects of dharna, what is the main dharna that you tell everyone about? In order to make them avyakt, what point do you give them? How do you have the enthusiasm to remember the Father or to have a heart-to-heart conversation? The main thing for this is honesty and cleanliness. It is necessary to know the feelings and motives of one another with honesty. For special souls, the meaning of honesty and cleanliness is very deep. There should be total honesty in your hearts with one another. When something is very clean, everything is very clearly visible through that. In the same way, the feelings of each of you, your nature and motives should be clearly visible. Where there is honesty and cleanliness there is also closeness, just as you are close to BapDada. A kingdom does not function with just one. You also have to come into relationship with one another. How will you come into close relationship with one another there? That will be only when your hearts are close here. The closeness of your hearts here will bring closeness in your relationships there. There should be closeness in each one's nature and feelings of the mind. There isn't closeness because of the differences in nature. If someone is entertaining, there will be closeness, whereas if someone is official (formal), there won't be that closeness. However, you have to become full of all virtues, 16 celestial degrees full here, do you not? So, why should you be any less in this art? For instance, even if your original sanskar is that of being official , time and the gathering bring lightness and entertainment, and so you should have the art of being able to harmonize with the nature of others. In this way, you will be able to become 16 celestial degrees complete. So, you have to harmonize the feelings of the mind and also your natures. Only then will you come close. At present, there is a difference experienced. You can see the different natures of each one. This is not a sign of perfection. You have to fill yourself with all arts. If someone's nature is of being serious , that is a lack of an art. If someone is not talking to someone else, that is also a lack of an art. So to be 16 celestial degrees complete means to have all the arts of the 16 celestial degrees in your nature. This is known as 16 celestial degrees complete. In this gathering, you have to bring about closeness through your nature and feelings. Sometimes you say, "This is my nature, that was not my intention". So these feelings of the mind should also harmonize with one another. When there is only one type of perfection, your feelings and nature will also be in harmony with everyone. It is remembered that all those who emerge from one mould speak the same language. This is very well known, is it not?
In the same way, it should also be very clearly visible that the feelings of the mind and the nature of the most elevated souls have all emerged from the one mould. Do not give an ordinary meaning to the words "honesty and cleanliness". To the extent that there is cleanliness, so there will be lightness. The lighter you are, the closer you will come to one another, and you will also be able to make others light. Because of having lightness, light will be visible in your face. So now, bring about this change . In the beginning, there were a lot of visions received from your face. Light was visible. Have the awareness of the service of the beginning: many used to have visions; they used to experience you all as goddesses. Now, you appear to be speakers; you appear knowledge-full but you don't appear to be powerful . This gathering has to be filled with that. It should appear the same as here, where although two are present, everyone feels that they (Dadi and Didi) are one. Everyone has this practical experience. Coming close to one another you continue to become equal. So, just as these two appear to be one, in the same way, all of you should appear to be the same. Then it would be said that the rosary is ready. If the thread of love is ready, the beads will be threaded on to it easily. Only when the beads come very close on the thread of love is a rosary created. Closeness creates a rosary. So the thread of love is ready, but the beads now have to come close to one another and harmonize the feelings of their minds and their nature. Only then will the rosary be visible practically. You must definitely do this. You must show this wonder.
You have come from so far away, having left your service , so you must now show the proof. You have come from so far away in order to remove that distance. Do you understand? BapDada is also with the most elevated souls, is He not? Everyone is waiting for the group of close souls who are with BapDada, wondering when they will see the wonder of this group. Even an ordinary task of special souls is considered to be special. Even if they are sitting together in a normal way, people will see the speciality in them. Everyone wants to receive some force that will enable them to experience newness.
You are the instrument souls who give force to everyone. Elevate them to such an avyakt stage that the attraction of trivial things on this earth cannot pull them. Make them Maya- proof . Show the proof of making them Maya- proof . You are the proof . You are the proof of what victorious souls are. Those who are the proof all have to become Maya- proof . So, what will be the stamp of this gathering? You have to become 16 celestial degrees complete. You should not be one degree less. That which is old gold can be moulded easily. Because of not having the art, you cannot be moulded . You are the complete gold of full percentage . Therefore, go from here having filled yourselves with all specialities. Even now, look how each one has his or her own speciality. When a special task is to take place, you remember a particular special soul. However, now, whenever any special task takes place, all special souls should be remembered. So give and take co-operation from one another. When the group that is the seed stage becomes like this, then the tree will automatically emerge from the seed. This is a gathering of those who are the seed stage, is it not? You are not the seed of the world, but you are the seed of your creation, are you not? So, if the gathering of the seed stage becomes 16 celestial degrees complete, the tree that emerges will also be like that. Now is not the time for you to remain anything less just because of a small weakness. If a weakness remains, you will claim a lower number . This gathering must not claim a low number just because of small weaknesses.
So celebrate the true Deepawali. Finish all the old sanskars, old thoughts, old feelings and old nature and begin the account of perfection and all specialities before you go. When the special souls celebrate Deepawali first, then others will celebrate it. This whole bhatthi is of teachers . What will happen if this future is revealed through the features of each one of you? The future will become the present . Achcha.
