"Different methods of becoming a destroyer of attachment."

Does each one of you consider yourself to be an embodiment of remembrance? What does your stage become when you become an embodiment of remembrance? When are you able to have this stage? You become an embodiment of remembrance when you become a conqueror of attachment. Have you become such conquerors of attachment and embodiments of remembrance? Or, are you at present embodiments of forgetfulness? From being an embodiment of remembrance, why do you become forgetful? There must definitely be some attachment still remaining. Do you not know how to fulfil the first promise you made to the Father, that you will break away from all other relationships and have a relationship with only the One? Do you not know how to fulfil the first promise? If you do not fulfil the first promise, how would you claim a right to the first kingdom or come in connection with that first kingdom? Do you wish to come into the kingdom of the second birth? Those who fulfil the first promise of being the conquerors of attachment are those who come into the kingdom of the first birth. Call it the first promise, the first lesson, the first aspect of knowledge, or the first elevated thought of the alokik birth: do you find it difficult to fulfil this? Did you find it difficult in any birth to stabilise yourself in your own original form or to stay in the awareness of the self? By easily having that awareness, you continued to be an embodiment of that remembrance. So, why do you find it difficult to keep the original form of this alokik birth in your awareness? It is said, even of ordinary human beings, that the speciality of human souls is that they are able to do whatever they want, and that this is the main difference between animals and human beings. Since ordinary human beings demonstrate that they can do whatever they want, can you elevated human souls, souls who are embodiments of power, knowledge-full souls, souls who come into close connection with the Father, souls who receive direct sustenance from the Father, worthy of worship souls, souls who receive an even more elevated status than the Father, can you souls not do whatever you want? So, what is the difference between ordinary human beings and elevated human beings? Ordinary souls can do whatever they want, but they are not able to do it as they want when they want, because they have the power of matter; they do not have Godly power . Souls who have Godly power can do whatever they want, whenever they want and as they want. Can you not put the speciality you have into the practical form? Or, do you also still say that you did not wish that thing to happen, but it happened, that you are not able to do whatever you want to do? These are not the words of souls who are master almighty authorities and elevated souls. These are the words of ordinary souls. Do you consider yourselves to be ordinary souls? Do you forget your alokik life and your alokik karma? Why is there attachment to anything physical, any person or any thing? Have you not yet experienced the difference between the things you see and the attainment of this alokik birth to be like that of day and night? Have you not yet finished experiencing the sorrow and peacelessness which is received through physical consciousness? When you took this alokik birth, did you not finish the relationships and connections with the people you see of this old world? Since you have taken a new birth, have you not yet finished with the old relationships? In a new birth, does one have attachment to the old relationships? So, how can you have attachment to people? Since the birth has changed, then, together with the birth, have your relationships and activity not changed? Or, perhaps you would say that you have not yet taken an alokik birth. In an ordinary way, your karma, relationships and connections are according to wherever you take birth. So, then, since you have an alokik birth, why do you have lokik relationships and lokik activity? Now, say whether it easy or difficult to become a conqueror of attachment. Why do you find it difficult? Do you not see your own face when attachment arises? You have received a mirror, have you not? Do you not keep the mirror with you? If you look at your face, your attachment will finish. If you develop the practice of looking in the mirror, then after developing this practice, even against your conscious wish, you would be pulled to the mirror. Many have the physical habit of looking in a mirror, again and again. They do not make a programme for it, but they automatically move towards the mirror, because they have that practice. Here too, if you continue to look in the mirror of knowledge , in the mirror of your stage of self-respect, then, from body consciousness, you will easily be able to come into your stage of self-respect.

When you feel that there is something not quite right physically, by looking in the mirror, you are instantly able to put it right. In the same way, when you look at your true form in this alokik mirror and see that you have changed the form of wasteful thoughts, wasteful words, wasteful karma and relationships that you had when you came into body consciousness from wasteful to powerful, would there still be attachment? And, when you have become a conqueror of attachment, then, together with that, you will automatically have become an embodiment of constant remembrance. Is this not easy? When you have all attainments from the One, can you not be a satisfied soul through that? When someone is lacking something, he is not a satisfied soul. So, do you not experience having all attainments? Have you not become a satisfied soul? Have any of those perishable souls in so many births been able to give you that which the Father gives you now? When many souls have not been able to give you in many births that attainment which you have attained in one birth from the Father, then, to where should your intellect be drawn: to those who make you stumble, who make you cry and who reject you or to the One who shows you your destination? Just as you ask other souls many questions, so the Father also has this one question for you souls. Until now, you have not yet been able to give an answer to this one question. Those who have given an answer to this one question remain happy all the time. Those who have not given an answer repeatedly come into the stage of descent.

In order to become conquerors of attachment, you will have to change your form and become embodiments of remembrance. There is attachment when there is the awareness that you are householders. When you feel that that is your home and your relations, then there is attachment. So, now, transform this limited responsibility into an unlimited responsibility. Then, by your having an unlimited responsibility, the limited responsibilities will automatically finish. When you forget the unlimited, then, whatever time and thoughts you use in order to fulfil those limited responsibilities, you spoil them instead of fulfilling them. Although you may think you are fulfilling your responsibilities and looking after your duties, that is not really fulfilling and looking after them. Because of staying in a limited awareness, instead of becoming instruments to create the fortune of those souls, you become instruments to spoil their fortune. Then, because those souls do not see your alokik behaviour, they are deprived of forging a relationship with the alokik Father. Then, instead of fulfilling your duties, you bring a sickness to yourself. This is the sickness of attachment and this sickness automatically then spreads to others. Then, whatever you consider to be your duty changes and takes the form of a sickness. So, constantly make effort to transform this awareness of yours. "I am a householder"; "I have this bondage"; "I have this responsibility". Instead of this, remember your five main forms. They have shown a five-faced Brahma and a three-faced Brahma. So you Brahmins also have to keep the five main forms in your awareness, and the sickness will be removed and you will then be able to carry on with the duty of world benefactors. What are those forms? By staying in the awareness of which form, will you forget all of those forms?

What are the five forms to keep in your awareness? Just as you speak of the three forms of the Father, so too, you have five forms. 1. I am a child. 2. I am a Godly student . 3. I am a spiritual pilgrim. 4. I am a warrior. 5. I am a Godly helper. You should have these five forms in your awareness. When you wake up in the morning, you have a heart-to-heart conversation with the Father. In the form of a child, you celebrate a meeting with the Father. As soon as you wake up, remember your form of a child. In that case, how can you be a householder? So, when the soul celebrates a meeting and experiences all attainments, why should the intellect be drawn here and there? This proves that there is a weakness at amrit vela in the awareness of this first form. This is why you constantly remember the forms that bring you into the stage of descent. In the same way, if you kept these five forms in your awareness according to the different activity from time to time, then, by being embodiments of remembrance, would you not be able to become conquerors of attachment? Therefore, you were told that the reason you find it difficult is that you do not look at your own face. So, while performing actions, constantly look at these forms in your mirror, and check that you have not developed another form instead of these five forms. Check that your make-up has not been spoilt. If you look at yourself, you can rectify any make-up that has been spoilt, and you will then easily become a conqueror of attachment for all time. Do you understand? You will now not say, "How can we become conquerors of attachment?", will you? No. This is how you become conquerors of attachment. Change the word "How?" into "Like this!". Just as you bring into your awareness that you were like that and that you are once again becoming like that, so too, you have to change the word "How?" into "Like this!". Instead of saying "How can we become this?" say "This is how you become this." Bring about this transformation and you will become as you originally were. The word "how" will finish and you will become like that. Achcha.

To those who, from being forgetful, become embodiments of remembrance in a second, to the souls who are conquerors of attachment and embodiments of constant remembrance, to the powerful souls, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.
