"One who has a right and one who is dependent."

Just as you naturally and constantly have the practice of coming into sound, in the same way, do you naturally and constantly practice going beyond sound and stabilising yourself in your original stage; in the stage of being an embodiment of peace? Do you experience the practice of both equally, or have the sanskars of being bodily beings over 84 births become very firm? For 84 births, you have been coming into sound; so, can you transform the sanskars of 84 births in a second , that is, can you stabilise yourself beyond sound? Or, do those sanskars constantly attract you to themselves again and again? What do you think? Are the sanskars of 84 births so powerful, or is the experience at this beautiful confluence age of the stage of going beyond sound and being bodiless in a second more powerful? In comparison, is the stage that is able to attract you to itself more powerful or are the sanskars of 84 births? Those are 84 births and this is the experience of a second . Even so, which is the more powerful experience? What do you think? Which one attracts more? Is it that experience or this experience? Is it the sanskar of coming into sound or the experience of going beyond sound?

In fact, this experience of one second is based on the experience over a long period of time; it is one that enables you to experience many attainments in a second . This is why this one second is equivalent to many years. You experience being able to use your mouth when and as you wish, do you not? This is known as a second . This is the stage of being a master who makes the body work. So, have you become the masters? Have you become the masters of the body? Do you know who can become a master? One who first becomes a child can then become a master. If you do not become a child, you cannot become a master of even your own body. Would a child of the Almighty Authority not be a master of even his own matter (body)? When you become an embodiment of the awareness that you are a child and so a master, that you are now the master of that matter, you will then become a master of the world, that is, the more you remember being a child, the more intoxication there will be of being the master; there will also be that happiness and you will be absorbed in that intoxication. If, at any time, you become dependent on matter, what is the reason for that? It is because you forget your stage of being a master almighty authority. You do not constantly keep your rights in front of you. One who has all rights can never be dependent on anything or anyone.

Do you consider yourselves to be ever-ready and all-rounders ? What does it mean to be ever-ready ? Are you able to stabilise yourselves in the stage that is dictated by shrimat, as you wish, no matter what the situations are or what examinations come in front of you? Are you ever-ready on that order ? An order means shrimat . So, are you ever-ready to such an extent that even your thoughts are according to shrimat? Are you ever-ready to this extent? If you receive the shrimat to stabilise yourself in the stage of being a detached observer in a second , but you take two seconds instead of one second to stabilise yourself in that stage, would that be called being ever-ready ? When the military receive an order to stop , they stop instantly; they cannot take even one step forward after receiving the order to stop . In the same way, if you were to receive the shrimat or the direction to stabilise yourself in a particular stage in a second , then not to take another second is called being ever-ready . When you have such a stage , you are able to stabilise yourself in that stage in a second .

The effort to stabilise yourself in any particular stage in a second is called intense effort. All of you are intense effort-makers, are you not? You have all gone beyond the stage of being just effort-makers, have you not? Have all of you reached your stage of being intense effort-makers? Do you experience yourselves to be this? There should not be the slightest fluctuation in your thoughts. Do you continually experience such a stage ? Are all of you ever-ready , according to this? The Shakti Army has become ever - ready , has it not? Has the Shakti Army, with all its weapons, reached this stage or are they about to reach it? Have you not yet reached this stage? What do you think? Are the Pandavas or the Shaktis number one in this? The wonder is that the Pandavas are able to create such a stage even when they come into an atmosphere or environment. When you have a car , or whatever you are riding, are you able to stop it wherever you want to, or not? In the same way, you should be able to use your physical organs when and where you want to; and, if you do not want to use them, you should be able to control them. You are able to stabilise your intellect in whatever stage you want for as long as you want, are you not? Are the Pandavas not first in this? Or, are you putting the Shaktis in front in this aspect because you want to save yourselves from it? Do you make the Shaktis your shield? The Shaktis are no less either. The Shaktis will give extra help to the Pandavas. You Shaktis are the great donors and so you have to make others ever-ready in the same way. Achcha.

Do you understand the meaning of being an all-rounder ? What does it mean to be an all-rounder ? You are all-rounders , are you not? What is the stage of being an all-rounder to perfection? You have to pay attention to especially three things. Firstly, those who are all-rounders will remain engaged in service ; secondly, they will have the special virtue of being able to harmonise with everyone's nature and sanskars, and thirdly, they will fit into any subject of karma yoga in such a way that it is as though they have been engaged in that particular task for a long period of time. They will not feel it to be new. They will seem to be those who are very experienced and knowledgeable in every task. Those who fit all three aspects at every moment are known to be all-rounders . Because the line of fortune is created on the basis of each aspect, the record of the sanskars of the soul is created on the basis of this. Therefore, all these things have a deep connection with your reward.

If you are 90% in every aspect but lack 10%, then there would be that little bit lacking in your reward too. The number reduces because of this subtle weakness. You also notice in those who seem to be similar effort-makers in a physical way that when you look at them closely in a refined way, then, because of a little percentage lacking in one thing or another, even though they appear to be similar, you will see that there is a difference in their number . So, from this, you can know what your number will be. How much percentage do you have in all three aspects? Do not be happy knowing that you have all three aspects; the number is not created on the basis of this. The numbers will be created according to the percentage you have in them. So, have you become ever-ready and all-rounders to this extent?

All of you have the aim of becoming number one, do you not? You do not have the aim of thinking that it does not matter if you claim the last number, do you? If you have the aim of thinking that whatever you receive is good, what would that be called? What would be the title of such a weak soul? Such souls are also remembered in the scriptures. Firstly, tell Baba what their title would be, and secondly, what would be the praise of such souls? The memorial of such souls is that, when God distributed fortune, they were sleeping. Carelessness is also partly sleeping. Those who remain careless are in the stage of sleeping. If you become careless, then you would also be said to be sleeping. What would be the title of such souls? Such souls are called those who kick away the fortune that comes in front of them. You have become the children of the Bestower of Fortune, that is, you have claimed all rights; the fortune has come in front of you, that is, the Father, the Bestower of Fortune has come in front of you. What would you call those who, instead of creating the fortune that has come in front of them, they kick it aside? Unfortunate! Such souls can never attain happiness anywhere. None of you are going to be like that, are you? Are you those who will create your own fortune? Whatever fortune you create, you will accordingly create the portrait of your future reward.

Do you know your future portrait? You are the artists who create your own portraits, are you not? You, yourselves, know to what extent you have created your portraits, do you not? Are you still creating your portrait or do you still need to put the final touches ? If you have created the portrait, that will definitely come in front of you. If it does not come in front of you, it means that you are still engaged in creating it. If it is created, then it would come in front of you again and again. So, all of you are number-one artists , not second or third . Some artists are good, but if they are not generous hearted, they create a weakness. If the artist is good and has received good material, then he also has to become generous-hearted. So then, use all the treasures of your thoughts, deeds, words, time and breath with a generous heart and the portrait created will be good. Some people have a lot, but they do not use it. They become economical in this. The more generous-hearted you become in this, the more first-class you will become. You must not be economical about time either. You must not be economical in using anything for this task. Be economical in using it for a wasteful task. You must not be economical in performing an elevated task. You were told what true economy is. To belong to One and to remember One. Let the name of only One remain constantly in your consciousness. Those who belong to One in this way can be economical . Those who do not belong to One cannot be truly economical , no matter how much they try. Achcha.

To those who constantly stabilise themselves in their original religion, that is, in the stage beyond sound and then come into sound, and to the master almighty authorities who constantly use all the powers for their task, to such ever-ready , all - rounder children, love, remembrance and namaste.
