"Recognition of the refined stage."

Just as science is becoming refined , in the same way, is your power of silence and your stage automatically being refined within yourself? What is the speciality of something refined ? Anything that is refined may be less in quantity , but its quality is powerful . Whatever is not refined is more in quantity but lacks quality . So, here, too, since you are being refined , the tasks you carry out in less time using less energy will be one hundredfold and there will also be lightness. A sign of lightness is that that thing would never come down. Even against its conscious wish, it will stabilise itself up above. This is the qualification of something that is refined . So, do you experience both these specialities within yourself? Because of being heavy, you have to make more effort. When you are light, less effort is required. So, natural transformation takes place in this way. Constantly pay attention to both these specialities. Whilst keeping these in front of you, you can check how refined you have become. Anything refined does not wander around a great deal; it picks up speed very quickly. When something is not refined and is mixed with rubbish, it is not able to pick up speed . It would not be able to move without any obstacles. On the one hand you are becoming refined , and on the other hand the fine for trivial matters, making little mistakes and for your sanskars is increasing. On the one side is this scene and on the other side there is the scene of becoming refined : there is the force of both. If something is not refined , consider it to be a fine . Both scenes are visible at the same time. That is going towards the extreme and this is also visible in its extreme form. That which is incognito is becoming more visible. So a number is created according to both aspects being visible.

The rosary is not going to be threaded by your hands. You claim a number yourself through your own activity. The time for your number being fixed is now coming close. This is why both aspects are clearly visible, and, while seeing both, you have to remain cheerful and a detached observer. A play which has extremes within it is liked a great deal. Only such a scene has great attraction. Even now, such a scene of tug-of-war is being enacted. You enjoy watching it, do you not? Or, do you feel mercy? Seeing one side you experience happiness and seeing the other side you feel mercy for them. The performance of both is taking place. Today, Baba showed a play to show you what is happening behind the scenes. Everything is very clearly visible from the subtle region. The higher you are, the more clearly visible everything is. The actors on the stage down below cannot see anything. As a detached observer up above, you can see everything very clearly. Today, Baba was watching the scenes of the games of the present time from the subtle region. Achcha.
