"Turn your face away from Ravan and remain facing the Father."

All of you who are sitting here: can the stage of all of you be called the elevated stage or the avyakt stage? Is everyone's stage at the present time avyakt, or is there someone who is even now stabilised in the corporeal stage? If anyone is sitting in the corporeal stage he would not be able to celebrate the avyakt meeting or imbibe the avyakt words. So, are you stabilised in the avyakt stage? All those who are not, raise your hands! If you are stable in the avyakt stage at this time, if you are beyond corporeal consciousness, then why are you beyond that consciousness? Why is everyone able to create the same avyakt stage? How is it created? Because of being in front of avyakt BapDada the stage of all of you has become the same avyakt stage. So, in the same way, if you constantly move along considering yourself to be personally in front of BapDada what would your stage be? It would be avyakt, would it not? So, instead of being constantly personally in front of BapDada, why do you move along considering BapDada to be separated or distant from you? You relate or hear of the example of Sita: in front of whom did she constantly remain? In front of Rama. To be personally in front of does not just mean to be physically present, but, you have to remain constantly personally in front of BapDada with your intellect. To be personally in front of BapDada means to be diverted from Ravan, Maya. When you are personally in front of Maya, the intellect is diverted away from the Father. In a most loving relationship you constantly experience sitting in front of that one, eating with that one, moving along with and having the constant company of that one. So, can you not constantly stay personally in front of BapDada? If you stay constantly in front of BapDada, you will constantly be able to have an avyakt stage. So, why do you become distant? Do you still play those games of childhood? Some children are such that no matter how much the parents call them close to themselves, they go that much further away from the parents because they are mischievous. So, is this good? By constantly considering yourself to be in front of BapDada, you will constantly experience yourself to be an almighty authority . No other authority can attack you when you have the Almighty Authority in front of you. An almighty authority can never be defeated. Nowadays, even those who have temporary authority are so powerful. So, those who have almighty authority are those who have all powers. Those who have temporary powers will bow their heads in front of those who have all powers. They will not attack you, but they will bow their heads in front of you. Instead of attacking you, they will salute you again and again. So, do you constantly take every step while considering yourself to be an almighty authority ? To consider yourself to be an almighty authority means constantly to keep the company of the Almighty Father. Which authority do people on the path of devotion have today? They have the authority of the scriptures. They constantly have the scriptures in their intellects. Whatever task they perform they constantly keep the scriptures in front of them. They would say: Whatever actions we are performing are according to the scriptures. Those who have the authority of the scriptures constantly have the support of the scriptures in their intellects, that is, they have the scriptures in their intellects. They have the scriptures in front of them, whereas what do you have in front of you? The Almighty Father. When they perform any task, because they have the basis of the scriptures, they perform those actions with authority considering them to be the truth, and, no matter how much you try to move them away from the scriptures, they would never let go of their support. In any situation they would constantly say that they are speaking with the authority of the scriptures, that the scriptures can never be false, and that whatever is in the scriptures is the truth; they have that much unshakeable faith. In the same way, you are those who perform all tasks with the authority of the Almighty Father. You should have this much unshakeable faith so that no one is able to shake that faith. Do you have such unshakeable faith? Do you constantly remember your authority , or is it that you forget your own authority when you see the authority of others? You are those who are moving along on the basis of the most elevated authority of all, are you not? If you constantly remember this authority , then, in your efforts, you will never experience the path to be difficult. No matter how great the task is, with the support of the Almighty Authority , you will experience it to be extremely easy. Before performing any action keep the Authority in front of you, and you will easily be able to judge whether you should perform a particular action or not. Because of having the Authority as the basis in front of you, you simply have to copy that One. Is it easy or difficult to copy ? Yes or no? You will automatically get the response by keeping the Authority in front of you. Nowadays, science has created such machinery , that when you ask it any question , it easily gives you an answer. The response to the question is given through the machine , and so you are freed from having to use your intellect. So, in the same way, by keeping the Almighty Authority in front of you, you will easily receive a practical response to whatever questions you have. You will experience the path to be very easy. When someone receives such an easy and elevated support but does not take the benefit of that support, what would you call that? Their own weakness. So, instead of being a weak soul, become a powerful soul and make others the same. By considering yourself to be an almighty authority , you are automatically able to imbibe three main things within yourself. What are those three things?

By performing the drill of the intellect, you are able to revise the knowledge you have heard. That is also good. Power also increases through that. No matter what kind of authority someone has, even those who have ordinary authority have three things within them: 1) faith, 2) intoxication and 3) fearlessness. Because of having these three things, even when those with that authority are wrong or inaccurate, they speak and move along while having such determined faith in their intellects. To the extent that they have faith, accordingly, they speak with that much intoxication and fearlessness. In the same way, since all of you are almighty authorities , when you are those with the most elevated authority of all, how much intoxication should you have? So, you should speak with so much faith! However, you also have to be fearless. When someone tries to defeat you in any way, would you be able to be defeated if you have as your basis, fearlessness, faith and intoxication? No. You would be constantly victorious. The reason for not being victorious is that one aspect of the three is lacking; that is why you are not able to be victorious. So, check to what extent you have these three things in a practical way when taking every step. It is one thing to have total faith in the knowledge and the Father, but, whenever you perform actions or speak words, you should have all these three qualifications . The aspect of the practical is a different matter. When you have these three things in your every action and every word, your every word and every action will then reveal the Almighty Authority . At present, people consider you to be ordinary. They do not experience as yet that your authority is the Almighty Father Himself. They will have this experience when you do not perform any action or speak any word having let go of the authority for even a second . By forgetting the authority your actions become ordinary. So, all other people experience everything to be ordinary. They say: This is just the same as other ordinary people are doing. What do those who come say as a result of this? They do speak about your speciality, but, together with that, they also speak about that which is ordinary in you. They say that it is like this in other organisations too, that you are doing the same as other organisations. So, this is something ordinary, is it not? They find one or two things to be special, but you haven't yet reached the stage whereby they find every word and every deed to be special and not comparable to others. How can any activity of the Almighty Authority be ordinary? There should be the difference of day and night between the authority of God and the authority of human souls. Do you experience the difference of day and night between your words and deeds and those of other souls? The difference between day and night is so great that there is no need to explain to anyone that there is that difference. They automatically understand that that is the night and that this is the day. So, since you are those who perform every action on the basis of the Almighty Authority , since you follow every direction , the difference of day and night should be visible. There should be such a difference that they immediately understand that this is not an ordinary place, that your knowledge is not ordinary. Only when there is such an influence will you understand that you are revealing your authority . Just as the authority of the scriptures is visible in those who relate the scriptures, in the same way, authority should be revealed in your every word. This is the final stage , is it not? People should be able to recognise the authority from your words, your face and your activity. In the world nowadays, when some officers of even a small position are engaged in a job they show their work to be of such authority . They have that intoxication. They perform every task with that intoxication. So they are the ones who have the authority of giving limited visions, but this is the alokik, imperishable authority .

To those who move along with authority while keeping the Father with such authority personally in front of them, namaste.
