"The easy way to become a constant yogi."

Just as you switch something on and turn it off in a second , in the same way, are you able to take the support of the body in a second and go beyond the body and remain stable in the stage of being bodiless in a second ? You have to practise coming into the body in one moment and going beyond the body in the next moment. This is called the karmateet stage. You will experience this as though it is in your own hands to adopt whatever type of costume you wish, whenever you wish. When there is a need for it, you adopt the costume and when there is no need, you become separate from the body. You should have such an experience through the costume of that body. Whilst performing actions, the experience should be such that it is as though you have adopted a costume and are doing your work; then, as soon as you finish your work, you become detached from the costume. You have to experience detachment of the soul from the body even whilst walking and moving around by developing this practice . Who is able to practise this? Only those who are completely detached from the things of the body and the relations of the body, the physical world and all the things connected with the body. Only when there isn't the slightest attachment can you be detached. If you do not have lightness in your thoughts even in a subtle form, if you cannot be detached , you will not be able to experience that detachment. So the maharathis now have to practise this. You should have the practice of complete detachment. When you souls stay in this stage , other souls will also have the experience of detachment. They will also realise this, just as at the time of sitting in yoga, many souls have this experience. They feel: The one who is conducting meditation is in a stage of detachment. In the same way, whilst walking and moving around, they will have visions of the angelic stage. Whilst sitting here, all souls, who are to come close in your golden-aged family , will have visions of both your angelic form and your future royal form at the same time. Just as in the beginning, some people had visions of both the perfect form of Brahma and Shri Krishna at the same time, in the same way others will have visions of your double form. As you develop this stage of detachment numberwise, they will also have a double vision of your form. When you fully develop this practice , you will begin to receive news from everywhere. Just as in the beginning, all the souls who were to come close had visions whilst sitting in their homes, in the same way, they will also have visions now. Whilst you are sitting here, your subtle form will do service in an unlimited way. This is the service that now remains to be done. All of you saw the example of the sakar form. Everything is to happen numberwise according to the drama . The more you stabilise yourself in the angelic form, the more service your angelic form will do. How long does it take for the soul to tour around the whole world? So, your subtle form will also now do service . However, only those who are in this stage of detachment and stabilised in their angelic stage will do this. You had visions in the beginning. You used to have visions separately of both the perfect stage and the effort-making stage through the angelic form. Just as you used to have separate visions of sakar Brahma and angelic Brahma, in the same way, people will have visions of the special children. When the upheaval takes place, you will not be able to do anything through the physical body. The influence will also spread through this service . Just as in the beginning, when the influence spread through visions the visible and the invisible created the influence so this service has to take place at the end in the same way. Do you, yourself, have visions of your own perfect form? Now, they have started to call out to the Shaktis. They don't call out as much to God now. The calling out to the Shaktis has now begun with great speed. So you have to practise this every now and then. When you have developed this habit, you will feel a lot of happiness. In one second , the soul will become detached from the body and you will develop this practise . This is the effort you have to make now.

At present, there are three stages of making effort. Each of you is moving along passing through these three stages according to your own capacity. What are these three stages ? One is speaking, the second is churning and the third is being absorbed. The majority are in the stage of speaking. Because of a lack of churning and being absorbed, willpower is lacking in souls. By just speaking about something, the power of extroversion is visible, and this does not create an impact. You do churn, but churning whilst introverted is lacking. You may be churning the points , but by churning each point , you should be able to extract the butter, that is, the essence of power through which power increases. You may have planned everything, but there isn't the decoration of all the powers that there should be. No matter how invaluable something may be, if you do not place it in a suitable place, the value of that thing cannot be recognised. In the same way, you may be churning knowledge , but you don't fill yourself with power through each point as much as you should. This is why, although you make a lot of effort, the result is very small. You have very good zeal and enthusiasm in your mind when planning , but when you see the practical results , there is no longer imperishable zeal and enthusiasm in the mind. You do not have the constant stage of force that you should have. You are still ignorant of the experience of how to fill the self with power through churning each point . This is why you are not able to experience introversion and the attainment of supersensuous happiness. As long as you do not have any feeling of all the attainments of supersensuous happiness, anything temporary will definitely attract you towards itself. So, at the present time, through the power of churning, you need to fill the soul with all the powers. Then you will be able to maintain the stage of being absorbed, and your obstacles will be removed. A wave of obstacles comes when the force of spirituality is less. So, at present, before doing service through Shiv Ratri, you need to have the force to fill yourself with power. You may be holding programmes for yoga, but you now need to give classes whereby you can give souls the experience of power through yoga. On the basis of your practical power, you have to give power to others. Do not just think of plans for external service , but you need to pay full attention in all directions. Those who are instruments should think about the aspects in which their garden of flowers is weak. You have to have a very strict vision on your garden of flowers in every way; you must make special time and finish those weaknesses. Because of the lack of the influence of the powers, you become slack in every aspect whilst walking and moving along. This is why your preparations for destruction are sometimes very forceful and sometimes they become slack. When you do not have any force for establishment, how would you be able to fill destruction with force ? In the beginning, you had so much intoxication of being a Shakti. You had a very strict vision on your own self. You didn't think much of the obstacles or of Maya. You had such strong intoxication. Now, you do not keep such a strict vision on yourself. You need to pay attention to the consequences of karma. According to the drama , you have to become numberwise. The numbers have to reduce due to one reason or another, but, nevertheless, you still have to perform the task of filling force . You saw the sakar form: when there was any such wave, Baba used to do special service of giving a current (sakash) day and night and create special plans . Baba used to pay special attention to making weak souls powerful. Many souls used to have experiences through that. Baba used to make time at night and do the service of giving a current to souls. So, now, you have to do the special service of giving a current. You must become lighthouses and might houses and do this special service so that the influence of light and might spreads everywhere. There is a need for this now. Someone wealthy would give special help to his close relatives and uplift them. In the same way, you have to give a special current to all the weak souls who are in connection or relationship with you. Achcha.

Each one of you is making effort, numberwise, according to your own capacity, to constantly forget the consciousness of the body. The aim of your study is to become free from body consciousness and to become soul conscious. In order to be freed from body consciousness, the main method needed is constantly to maintain your original stage of respect. Then body consciousness will continue to finish. In the original stage of respect, there is the awareness of the self, that is, the awareness of the soul. The original stage is knowing, “who I am”. You have been given the different experiences of the stage of self-respect of the present confluence age and also of your future many times. If you continue to stabilise yourself in any one of those stages of self-respect, body consciousness will continue to finish. “I am a most elevated Brahmin”: This is a stage of self-respect. “I am a soul out of the entire world who is going to become a master of the world and of Brahmand”: This too is a stage of self-respect. In the beginning, you used to have the aim of staying beyond the consciousness of being a female, but of being a soul, a male. By stabilising yourself in the consciousness of a male, the awareness of the female was removed, numberwise, according to effort. In the same way, if you have the stage of self-respect of the present and the future in your intellect, there will not be any body consciousness. Simply by changing the word, self-respect (swaman), your nature (swabhav) also becomes good. There is a conflict of nature when you do not have the awareness of the original stage of one another. So, to have self-respect means to be aware of the original stage. Through this, your body consciousness will finish and you will have no conflict of nature with anyone. As well as this, those who stabilise themselves in the stage of self-respect automatically receive respect. Nowadays, in the world outside too, you receive respect by giving regard. If someone is a president , then because he has great awareness of his position, he also receives regard accordingly. Only through regard will you become a world emperor. The world will then give regard to that one. So, by stabilising yourself in your original stage of self-respect, you can receive all attainments. Only those who have the experience of all the different stages of self-respect that you were told about will be able to stabilise themselves in this stage of respect “I am a Shiv-Shakti”. This is also a form of self-respect. One is to listen and the other is to experience the stage of the original self. So, on the basis of your experience, you can stabilise yourself in your stage of self-respect from having been body conscious in a second . Those who are not experienced images, those who simply listen to it and continue to practise it, but have not yet become experienced, have an ordinary stage . Make a list of the points of your stage of self-respect and it will be a very long list . Continue to experience each one of these points, and you will not be weak in the little things of Maya. In order to make you weak, Maya first makes you body conscious. If you did not come into body consciousness, how could there be any weakness? Just as you say “I am a master almighty authority”, and, your stage becomes like that just by having that thought, so continue to remind everyone of their stage of self-respect, and make them experienced in that form. However, only those who have this experience will be able to create such a stage. If you do not have this experience, you will not be able to stabilise yourself in that stage, nor will you be able to create your stage. You will experience tiredness and the path to be difficult. "How can I do this?" This question then arises. However, because of being stabilised in their stage of self-respect, those who are images of experience will easily be able to pass any difficult tests. So, now remind others of their stage of self-respect. Give classes on becoming images of experience. Give the souls who come into close connection and relationship with you the co-operation to experience this. Souls now need this co-operation. Through the sakar form, there was the service of making you into images of total experience. In the same way, even with their weaknesses and defects, make those souls who are close to you into images of total experience with the co-operation of your powers. Check whether the souls for whom you have become instruments have the experience of their stage of self-respect. If not, then you should give them that experience. You have to make this effort. If the souls who are to come close in the kingdom are weak, what would become of the subjects? Such weak souls cannot come into a relationship. Now, prepare your kingdom very quickly. The subjects to come later will be created very quickly, but those who are to come into connection and relationship with the royal family have to be made like this. All elevated souls who are instruments at every centre have to pay such attention. Souls who come into connection with you should not be deprived of this stage. You have to pay this attention. If you yourself do not experience power in your own self, what power would you be able to give to others? Those souls who desire something come close; they give their time and become co-operative. Such souls can no longer receive sustenance through the mother and father, and so they should receive this sustenance from the instrument souls who are experienced images. If you check this, then how many powerful souls would emerge? There would be at least half the number. Those who have received direct sustenance have the sweetness of their experiences, and so it is essential to give others this sustenance. So each teacher should pay attention to her class . Achcha.
