"Forgetting the household and family with the awareness of dying alive."

(In the half-kumars' bhatthi)

Are you able to transform yourself as and when you want? You have come to the bhatthi to transform yourself, have you not? So, do you experience the power to transform yourself? No matter what the atmosphere is like, no matter what the situations may be, are you able to transform the atmosphere on the basis of your own stage? Are you the souls who are influenced by the atmosphere, or are you the souls who make the atmosphere satopradhan? What do you consider yourselves to be? Do you feel that no type of atmosphere can attract you to itself? After having come to the bhatthi, if you think you have accumulated so much courage and power, that, no matter where you go, on the basis of your accumulated power, no type of atmosphere or situation would be able to make you, a master almighty authority, fluctuate, if you can make your stage unshakeable and constant, raise your hands. It is clear that, day by day, situations are going to become extremely tamopradhan. The atmosphere and the situations are not going to become satopradhan now. They will only become satopradhan after they have become extremely tamopradhan. So, day by day, the atmosphere is going to get worse; not better. So, just as a lotus flower remains detached while in the mud, in the same way, have you raised your hands on the understanding that you have so much courage, that, even when you are in an extremely tamopradhan, tamoguni atmosphere, your stage will remain constantly satopradhan? Later, you will not say that this thing happened in this way and that is why your stage fluctuated, will you? Whether through nature, through lokik relationships or through the divine family, if any test or situation comes, you will be able to make yourself unshakeable and immovable, will you not? Do you think you have that much courage? Many tests will come. There will be papers . Just as the time for the final result is coming close, in the same way, practical papers will naturally come from time to time. Papers are not given in a fixed programme , but, according to the drama, a practical paper is given automatically to each one, from time to time. So, do you think you have the courage to pass the papers ? You are not those who are going to be frightened, are you? Are you not those who do not let your intellect’s yoga fluctuate even a little, the same as Angad?

This is the bhatthi of half-kumars. You do consider yourselves to be half-kumars, do you not? Do you not have the awareness of being half-kumars in your thoughts and relationships? In the beginning, you were made to stabilise yourselves in the awareness of being brothers and sisters. However, it was seen that, even in the awareness of being brothers and sisters, some used to become body conscious, and you were therefore told of an even more elevated stage, that of being brothers. In the same way, are you moving along while considering yourself to be a half-kumar, that is, as you move along, do you consider yourself to be a soul tied in a bondage of the family path? Therefore, now go even beyond this awareness. You are not half-kumars, but Brahma Kumars. You have now died a living death, and so, can there be the relationship of being a half-kumar in a life of having died alive? Can there be a household or a family in a life of having died alive? BapDada has not given anyone a household in their life of having died alive. There is one Father and all the rest are the children. So, where did the awareness of being a householder come from? So, consider yourself to be a Brahma Kumar as you move along. If you have the awareness of being a half-kumar, then, as your awareness, so your stage. Because of this, you must now finish the awareness of being half-kumars. No, you are Brahma Kumars. You are carrying out the duties on the basis of the shrimat that BapDada has given you. To have the awareness that that is your family or your wife is wrong . Would you call it having died alive if you looked at your wife with that consciousness or saw the household as your family? In order for everything to be taken care of, a trustee is appointed. You must also consider this in the same way. BapDada has given you this limited creation to look after as a trustee . It is not your creation, but you are just an instrument of BapDada to look after it as a trustee . A trustee does not have the consciousness of "mine". A trustee is just an instrument. There should not be the slightest awareness of the family path. "These are spiritual souls, not my children." They may be little children, but, even then, did BapDada not sustain little children? Just as BapDada sustained little children and made them instruments for Godly tasks, in the same way, for whomsoever, whether young or old, you have been made instruments by BapDada, even for those souls, you should have the awareness that you have to make those souls worthy for Godly service and engage them in that. Do you have this awareness while living in your house? Just as you come into connection and relationship with many souls of the Godly family, do you come into contact and relationship in the same way with the souls for whom you have been given a duty , or is there a difference? A result will be asked of those with whom you come into contact and with whom you have a relationship. Just as you come into contact and relationship with brothers and sisters at the centres and have that spiritual drishti and attitude, do you also come into connection with those other souls in the same way, or do you move along with your rights of the previous birth? Day by day, your stage and your awareness are becoming more and more elevated, are they not? Until you have made your stage and awareness elevated and transformed them according to the time, how can you claim an elevated status? You saw sakar Baba: did he have the attitude, vision or awareness of the relations being lokik, even in his dreams? So, you have to follow the father , do you not? Were those lokik relations not living with him? So, while living together, all of you also have to have the courage to move along with this attitude and awareness. What transformation will you bring about from this bhatthi before you go? To finish all name and trace of being half-kumars. Just as the form of anything that goes into a furnace is transformed, in the same way, in this bhatthi, finish the awareness of your being a half-kumar or a householder and have the awareness that you are a Brahma Kumar and a trustee to serve those souls as instruments. Make this awareness strong before you go. This is the transformation of the bhatthi. Have you filled yourself with this much power? Or, will you become a householder when you return home? Do not now consider the household (pravruti), but have the attitude of remaining beyond the consciousness (par vruti - attitude beyond) of being a householder, that is, stay away from the consciousness of a householder. Only if you go from here having created such a stage will the non-gyani souls be able to experience from your activity, your words and your eyes, your stage of being loving and detached. Until now, while living amidst the world, you are not able to give people of the world the experience of your being detached and loving because your consciousness has not become that detached. Because of not being detached, you are not that loving either. Anything loving automatically attracts others towards itself. So, while living amidst the world, if you create such a unique stage, you will automatically create the stage of being loving. Such a loving stage will naturally attract other souls to you. Even now, because you do not have the stage of being detached and loving that you should have in a visible way, you still have to make effort. You still have to reveal yourself. If it were visible, you would not have to make effort to reveal it. So, now, put that elevated stage into visible practice. Up to now, it has been incognito.

Do you appear to be unique amidst the people of the world? Does anyone who sees you from a distance experience you to be unique or do you appear to be ordinary? In your practical life, do you make such an impression that anyone who saw you would think that you are a special soul? When people see your physical dress (costume), they understand that you are different from them. In the same way, your face and avyakt image should show some uniqueness, and then your influence will spread. While moving along, you should have such an elevated stage, elevated awareness and attitude that it attracts the attention of others from all four directions. Anything attractive attracts those who are close to it. Everyone's attention is drawn there. In the same way, can this spirituality and uniqueness not attract the attention of those close to you? Will this stage come at the end? In an ordinary way too, even if you are not familiar with the children of a royal family , you can tell from their behaviour and their words, that they are the souls of a royal family . So, can there not be such an influence from a distance by the souls who stabilise themselves in a spiritual awareness? Is it difficult? Does it take long to do something that is easy?

When so many alokik, powerful, master suns of knowledge go everywhere from this bhatthi, then just as the Sun cannot be hidden, in the same way, will the practical proof also come here when the light and influence of so many master suns of knowledge spread everywhere? What proof? At least some news should come from those souls who have been influenced by you. Even if they themselves do not come, their news should come. If each one goes and individually spreads that influence, there would be news from so many. Will you give such proof? Or, will it be just as when you go from a bhatthi, and you remain influential for some time, and you then come under some influence. However, Baba constantly has hope. Now, we shall see to what extent the result is imperishable and to what extent you remain unshakeable and constant.

Through the blessings you have attained in the land of blessings, you now have to emerge from here as an image of a bestower of blessings. While staying in the awareness of being a great donor and a great bestower of blessings, you must definitely enable any soul who comes into contact and connection with you to attain something. No soul should go back empty handed. You are great donors. Whether they look after the donation given to them or not, that is their own fortune. You should be great donors and continue to carry out your own task with the attitude and vision of benefactors. “I am a world benefactor, a great donor and an image that grants blessings.” By staying in this powerful awareness you will be able to transform souls. Now make your attitude powerful . Achcha.
