"Achieving success by performing every action with the right method."

Do you consider yourselves to have attained success by using the right method? Because whatever effort one makes, the aim of the effort is to attain success. People of the world nowadays have a lot of occult powers. They have occult powers, whereas here we have success by using the right method. Success through the right method is accurate, but they have put this into another form and gone into occult powers. So, do you consider yourselves to be embodiments of success? If every thought is accurate, according to the method, what would be the result of that? Success. So, when every thought and every action are accurate according to the method there will definitely then be success. If there isn't success you are not using the right method. This is why, even in devotion, whatever activity you perform or make others perform, its value is based on the method. Because it is according to the right method you experience success. Everything began from here, did it not? This is why you are asked whether you consider yourself to be an embodiment of success or whether you still have to become that. According to the time, the result in both fields up to now should definitely be 95%. You see the speed of time and you even issue a challenge , and so the challenge you issue will be fulfilled when the stages of all of you become complete. On what basis will the transformation of this challenge take place? Who is the foundation of that? You are the foundation , are you not? When the foundation is ready, then after that the kingdom will also be ready, numberwise. So, if those who want the right to claim the kingdom don't take their right how would others claim their right numberwise? Unless you have attained success in your stage through using the right method how would you be successful in the task of world benefit, the task of world transformation, that has to happen? First, there has to be success for the self. Such a big task has to be accomplished in such a short time; so how fast must the speed be? Have you made any plans for this? How will you achieve that speed ? To be an embodiment of success means you have a thought and you achieve it successfully. This is the sign of being 100% an embodiment of success. As soon as you perform the action you attain success. Since it is possible to attain occult powers on the basis of ordinary knowledge , then, by using the right method on the basis of this elevated knowledge , are you not able to attain success? You need to check this. In what method is there something lacking through which success is lacking? By checking your method, success will automatically take place accurately. Even in this, the main reason why there isn't success is that you do not do service in all three forms at the one time. You have to do service in all three ways and in all three forms at the same time: knowledge-full, powerful and love-full; both love and law are together. Service has to be done in all three forms, but it has to be done in all three ways too, that is, you have to do service through your thoughts, words and deeds. You have to do three forms of service at the same time. When you do service through speech, your mind should also be powerful . With a powerful stage you will change the thoughts of others, and through words you will make them knowledge-full . Then, when you do service through deeds, that is, whoever comes into contact with you, that connection should be so love-full that that one will automatically feel that he has reached his Godly family . Your activity should be such that they feel this is their true family . Through these three forms of service, you can control their minds; through words, you give knowledge and the blessing of light and might , and through deeds, that is, through connection and your physical activity , you give them the experience of this Godly family; then, by doing service with this accurate method, would there not be success? You don't do all three forms of service at the same time. When you come into sound, the mind that should be powerful is less so. When you bring someone into connection through your entertaining activity , then the mind that should also be powerful doesn't remain that powerful. So, if all three take place at the same time there would definitely be success. There should be the practice and attention of doing service in this way. However, you do not form a relationship. You do not come into close contact. You do not have a deep relationship but you just maintain a superficial connection. That superficial connection is only for a temporary period. Although you give them love , together with being love - full , you must also be powerful . Fill those souls with power through which they will be able to confront any problems, any atmosphere and vibrations and stay in a permanent relationship. However, that does not happen. They get attracted by either the knowledge or the love . They get more attracted by love , and the knowledge is in the second number . However, they should become so powerful that no matter what comes in front of them, they do not fluctuate. This is lacking now. Those who are the serviceable instruments also have greater knowledge . They also have love , but less power . What would be the sign of a powerful stage ? Such a soul will be able to finish any atmosphere or any problems of Maya within a second . That soul will never be defeated. Whichever souls come to such a soul in the form of a problem, they will surrender themselves. In other words, you refer to this as nature, the elements, being your servant. When the five elements can become your servant, can human souls not then surrender themselves to you? So this is the practical form of the powerful stage . This is why it was said that when you do service in all three ways at the same time, success will then be visible in every task. Because of the right method there is success, and due to the lack of the right method there is a lack of success. Now, in order to become an embodiment of success, put this method right. On the path of devotion they make spiritual endeavour, whereas you here have facilities. Which facilities? By imbibing every speciality of BapDada within yourself, you will become special souls. When examination days come close, you then revise whatever you have studied, both the theory and the practical , and check in which subject you are lacking and to what percentage. In the same way, now that the time is coming close, check yourself in every subject as to what is lacking and to what percentage . Check both the theory and the practical . While seeing what is lacking in each subject , continue to make yourself complete . However, you will only become complete when you first revise and recognise your weaknesses. You know your subjects . What is the sign of having imbibed the subjects in your intellect? As the percentage of success increases, time will not be wasted . In a less time , you will experience greater success. This is known as success. If you spend a lot of time and have to labour a lot before attaining success, that is said to be a lesser percentage . You should have to use less in every way: your body should be used to a lesser extent; you should have to use fewer thoughts. Otherwise, you may think about something, but it takes a month and a half to create plans . So, you must not use too much of your time, your thoughts or the treasures of all your powers. Let there be greater splendour through less expenditure. Only those thoughts through which there would definitely be success should be created. The time fixed would also be that in which success is already guaranteed. This is known as being an embodiment of success. So, what is the sign of knowing to what extent you have passed in every subject ? To the extent that someone has passed in each subject , accordingly, on the basis of that subject , he will receive the objective and respect . Firstly, you will experience the attainment. For example, in the subject of knowledge, the objective you achieve is that of light and might ; you will experience that attainment. And, on the basis of the subject of knowledge , you will receive respect accordingly, either from the divine family or from all other souls. For instance, look at the mahatmas nowadays; why do they receive so much respect ? Because whatever spiritual endeavour they have made, whatever subjects they have studied, they receive the objective of that, which is respect . Nature becomes their servant. So, this was an aspect of knowledge. In the same way, there is also the subject of yoga. What objective should you achieve from that? Through yoga, that is, through the power of remembrance, you should achieve this objective : that whatever thoughts you create will be powerful. With the power of yoga, you should experience in advance whatever problem is to come, and, because of knowing it in advance, you will never experience defeat. Similarly, with the power of yoga, you finish the seed of your past sanskars. Then none of your sanskars will be an obstacle to your efforts. Even that which you call nature will not take on the form of an obstacle to your efforts. So, you should experience the objective of each subject . If you have the objective , you will definitely receive respect as a result. Because whatever words you repeat through your mouth or whatever plans you create are powerful, everyone will give you respect , that is, whatever advice you give to one another that will be respected by everyone because it is powerful. Check every subject in the same way.

There are the subjects of the divine virtues and service , and the attainment of those is that souls should come into a close relationship and connection. When they come into a close relationship and connection you will definitely and automatically receive respect . In the same way, check the objective of every subject ; the means of checking the objective is respect . If I am knowledge-full , then to whomever I give that knowledge , do they have just as much respect for that knowledge ? To have respect for knowledge means to give respect to the one who is knowledge-full . If you have attained the objective in the subject of knowledge , you can transform the thoughts of others and make them powerful. So, they will definitely give respect . So check every subject in this way.

If you experience both the objective and respect in every thought, you would then be said to be perfect . Perfect means beyond effect: perfect . If you are beyond effect , then you are perfect . Then you will be beyond all types of effect , whether of the body, your thoughts, any connection you make or any vibrations or atmosphere. Then, you can understand that you have passed , that is, you are perfect . You are becoming like this, are you not? This is your aim, is it not? Now, there should be greater checking of the self. You tell others that, together with the transformation of time, they should transform themselves. In the same way, you should also have the awareness that, together with the transformation of time, you also have to transform yourself. By bringing about transformation in the self, the world will be transformed. On the basis of self-transformation, you will be able to carry out the task of world transformation. This is the greatness which others do not have. They are in the process of trying to transform others. Here, on the basis of the self, you transform the world. So, because you are the basis, you have to pay that much attention to yourself. Always have the awareness that every thought of yours is connected to world benefit. If there isn't power in the thoughts of those who are embodiments of success, then there will be a weakness in the transformation of time. Because of this, the more powerful you become, the closer you will be able to bring the time of world transformation. Although this is fixed according to the drama , on what basis has it become fixed? There must be some basis, must there not? So, you are the images of support. At present, you are in the vision of everyone.

You have issued a challenge for 4 years, have you not? When you hear these things, then you have a few thoughts: What if it really doesn’t happen? It is possible that it does not take place in 4 years. Do you not have such thoughts? You fill face it, that is a different matter. This means that there is something in your thoughts, and this is why the thought arises. Are you absolutely sure that it will happen in 4 years time? Achcha. What if someone asks you: What will happen if destruction does not take place? What will you say then? When you explain to them, explain it very clearly: it isn’t that there will be complete destruction in 4 years. No. in 4 years, you will see such scenes by which people will think that truly destruction is taking place. That destruction has begun. If they find one thing easy to understand, they will also find other things easy to understand. Destruction will take time. When you yourself become complete, the task will also be accomplished, or, is it that just you will become complete? The work of the advance party is going on. The advance party will prepare the whole field for you. Whether you go into their family or not, they will become instruments for the task of establishment that is to take place. They will be instruments with a powerful stage. They will claim such powers with which they will become helpers in the task of establishment. Nowadays, you can see that people have a lot more regard for new blood. Once you progress more, there will be a change in the intellects of the adults; they will not work as much as those of the younger ones. The elders will give regard to the advice of the younger ones. Even now, the elders think: We are of the older generation, whereas nowadays, the younger ones are more prominent. If we don’t give them regard, if we do not consider them to be important, we won’t be able to continue. Previously, they would be bossy in bringing up children, but it is not like that now. They consider children to be masters as they bring them up. This is also the drama. The younger ones will perform wonders. They are waiting to go in advance. Their work will move along in connection with you. All the tasks are dependent on special souls. While moving along, there is a little slackness. The fire starts and then cools down. However, it should not cool down. People see the external form. They think: This happens all the time, what is the big deal? The play has continued from time immemorial, but why does it cool down while moving along? What is the reason for that?

You give lectures, but, together with the lectures, when your features attract them, there can then be an effect of the lecture. Check yourself in every subject. Nowadays, if there were to be competition in giving lectures, many others would win that. However, when it comes to the practical, everyone would be defeated by you. The main speciality is the practical life. When you tell them something of your practical life, they will be silenced. The feeling of the practical will emerge through your lectures. Then you will be seen as unique when giving lectures. The words you speak should be visible through your eyes; that what you are saying is practical, that you are an embodiment of that experience. Only then can there be an effect of that. Everyone is tired from having heard so much. They have heard a lot. Because there are so many who speak, all are tired of listening. They say: We have heard a lot and we now want to experience it; give us some attainment. So, your lectures should have such power that each word gives an experience. When you explain: Consider yourself to be a soul, not a body, then when you speak these words, there should be so much power in your words that those who hear it experience the power of those words. If they experience this for even a second, they cannot let go of that experience. They will be attracted to come to you. While giving lectures, you give them an experience by taking them into silence every now and again; so, increase this practice. Continue to take them into that experience. If you wish them to have disinterest in this old world, then whatever point you are speaking of when giving your lecture, take them into the experience of an attitude of disinterest. They should feel that this world truly is going to finish and so it is useless to attach their hearts to it. Then they will do it practically. Those pandits who deliver lectures also have power in their speech. They give happiness in one second and they make people cry in one second. That is when people say that their lecture was effective. They make the whole gathering laugh and they can also make the whole gathering experience temporary disinterest. Since they have so much power in their lectures, can your lectures not have that much power? If you want them to become bodiless, can you give them that experience? That wave should spread. A wave of love should spread in the whole gathering. That is called giving a practical experience. There should now be such lectures because only then will there be some change. They should feel that your lectures are different from those given by others in the world. They may

make people laugh and cry in the gathering, but they cannot give the experience of the bodiless stage. They are not able to forge people’s love to the Father. They can make people have love for Krishna, but not for the Father. They don’t know Him. So, there should be something unique. For instance, when you are giving points of the God of the Gita, until they know who the Father is, that we are souls and that He is the Supreme Soul, how can this point be proved until you give them this experience? There should be someone who gives lectures in which they experience the difference of day and night between a soul and the Supreme

Soul. When they experience this difference the God of the Gita will be proved. It will not sit in their intellects by just giving them these points; there will be other waves arising then. However, continue to give them this experience and they will bow down in front of that experience; no one will be able to win over you. Now change the method of giving lectures. Achcha.
