"The Call of Time."

Where are all of you sitting? Are all of you sitting in a mela? This is a practical mela whereas other melas are memorials. Many melas are celebrated in many different places with many different names because of this mela of the sweet meeting. A special meeting takes place in a mela. To have a mela means to have a meeting. Which mela or meeting is this? At this time, the main mela taking place is of souls meeting the Father, the Supreme Soul, that is, of souls meeting God; not just in one relationship, but in all relationships. To have a relationship with the Father in all relations means to have a mela where you have all attainments. By celebrating a meeting with the Father in all relationships in a second , you automatically receive all attainments, whereas in a other melas, you receive something by spending money. This mela is for having all attainments whereas in other melas, if you do have some attainment, that is only after giving something. However, what do you give here? You only give those things which you are not able to look after, do you not? Do you give anything good here? You only give to the Father the things that you are not able to look after. By doing this, what did you make the Father? You made Him into the Server, did you not? You normally keep a servant to look after your own things. You only give the Father the things that you cannot control . Was there anything else that you gave the Father? If you attain multimillions after only giving rubbish, would you call that giving or receiving? That would be called receiving, would it not? All other melas are for giving, and so, if you receive something after giving, then what is the big deal? However, this mela is for attaining all attainments. You can attain whatever you want and as much as you want. So, have you seen any such mela where you have all attainments? You have all come to such a mela now; and, one thing in a mela is a meeting and what is the other thing? In other melas, you become dirty (maila), whereas what do you become here? You become clean. You have become clean, have you not? Or, are you even now still becoming clean? What happens after you become clean? You are decorated and a tilak is applied. Now, are you applying the tilak of constant remembrance on yourselves and decorating yourselves with the ornaments of divine virtues? So, here, in this mela, you meet and you also celebrate. Together with this, there are also fun and games in a mela. A fair (mela) and games (khela, khel) both take place together at the same time. If you constantly remember the two words mela and khel, then what stage would you create?

If your stage ever fluctuates, the reason is that you keep your intellect aside from the mela, that is, from the meeting, that is, you move away from the mela and do not consider it to be a khel (game). So, constantly remember the two words: Mela and khel. Everything is included in a mela. You were told previously the things that happen when a meeting takes place. When you remember the word “mela”, it means harmony of sanskars, the meeting of the Father with the children and having all attainments through having all relationships with the Father; all are included in this. The main thing is that this world is a play. However, the different tests and situations of Maya that come are also a game for you. If you consider it to be a game, you would never be distressed by the game; you would be constantly laughing. Therefore, even the tests are a game. Thirdly, when you consider it to be a game, a part, then it is the performance of the players with their various sanskars that you see and that is fixed in this unlimited game. When you have this awareness, your stage will never fluctuate. You will constantly have a constant stage. When you have the awareness that this is a variety part in the variety drama , a play, then, is it possible that there would not be variety in the play, since it is called the variety drama ? In limited theatres, they have different plays with different names. For instance, if something is called “The play of unnecessary bloodshed without cause”, and you see any fearsome and painful scene, would you be disturbed by it? You would understand that the entire play is of unnecessary bloodshed. You would have this awareness before you see it. In the same way, when there are stories of fighting, battling or anger, would you laugh or cry on seeing them? You would definitely laugh, would you not? That is because you know that hat is a play. In the same way, the name of this unlimited play is the variety drama or play. So, would you ever be disturbed on seeing the variety of sanskars, the variety of natures and the variety of adverse situations? Or, would you be a detached observer and observe it with a constant stage? So, if you consider and remember it to be a variety play, then whatever effort you consider to be difficult, would that not become easy?

When you forget these two words-mela and khel-you cause distress to yourself, because you let go of that awareness, that is, the seat of a detached observer. What would be the state of someone who watches a play after having let go of his seat ? So, having set yourself on the seat and having the awareness of the variety drama, if you observe every part of every actor, you would always remain cheerful. You would say "Wah! wah!" through your lips, and say: Wah! sweet drama ! You would not say, "What happened?" "Why did this happen?", but you would instead say, "Wah! wah!", that is, you would constantly dance in happiness. You would constantly experience yourself to be a master almighty authority. Do you experience yourself to be this in a practical way?

When you move away from the mela, you become distressed, and when you let go of the hand, then too, you become distressed. In this way, you let go of the Father's hand. Do you understand the meaning of, "Letting go of the Father's hand"? The Father does not have physical hands. Shrimat is the hand, and the intellect’s yoga is the company. So, when you let go of the hand and the company in the mela, that is, when you move away from the Father, you get distressed. If you did not let go of the hand and the company, you would remain constantly happy. Therefore, now constantly look at your own part and the part of others whilst considering this to be a mela and a khel (game). This is an easy and common matter, that is, it is an old matter. Have you made the old things constant, or do you sometimes forget this and sometimes remember it at the time of need? You are told of this because, if you constantly remember the two words, you would remain constantly happy and constantly be an embodiment of power. The time now is not for wasting over trivial matters or in the obstacles of ordinary thoughts. The time has now come for you to become master creators and give blessings to your future subjects and devotees through the powers you have attained. Now is the time to give, not the time for the self to be taking. If, at the time of giving, you continue to take, then when would you give? In the golden age? Will there be a need for this there? So, now is the time to make your creation overflowing. Now is not the time for wasting all the powers on the self or for experimenting with them on the self and thereby finishing them in this, that is, it is not the time to eat what you have earned. Earlier, that was the time to eat what you had earned. But what is the time now? It is now the time to give to all souls what you have accumulated. Otherwise, your subjects and devotees will be deprived of these attainment, and they will remain beggars. So, as children of the Bestower and the Bestower of Blessings, will you yourselves not become bestowers and bestowers of blessings? When all souls come to you in the form of beggars to receive something, would the children of the Merciful Father not have mercy for all souls? Will you not feel mercy for them, or will you be able to bear to see them distressed? In a lokik way too, a limited creator cannot bear to see his limited creation unhappy or distressed. So, now, you are also master creators, that is, is this the task of just the Father or is it also yours? All of you are also master creators, and so a master creator cannot bear to see the sorrow of separation or the distress of his creation. At that time, you will have to give them something. If you do not accumulate a stock at the present time, but you continue to eat and finish what you have earned, then what would you give them? You now have to look at your chart. According to the present time, what register does a master creator need to look at? The mistakes you have made is the register of childhood. However, what chart should a master creator check now? Whilst keeping every power in front of you, check your chart as to which power, out of all the powers, you accumulated that day and to what percentage : Now, check your chart in the account of accumulation. You have to put a full stop to expenditure. Will you, even now, continue to spend on the self? To give to others is not expenditure. This is like giving one and attaining one hundred thousand. That is not counted in the account of expenditure, but in the account of accumulation. When you use your powers for your own obstacles, that is expenditure. When an obstacle arises, the expenditure of time spent in finishing that obstacle and the wealth of knowledge used to finish it have to be saved.

Just as that Government creates a savings scheme , so too, the Almighty Government is also now ordering all the children to create a savings scheme . Put a full stop to the expenditure. At present, continue to give. Is anything still remaining in terms of receiving? If it still remains, it proves that the Father has not given you your full inheritance. However, the Father has not kept anything with Himself. He gives you your full inheritance in a second , so that nothing remains to be received. So do you now know how to save or is it that you have developed the habit of spending? There are many who do not know how to accumulate. They are not able to accumulate, and, in fact, they develop the habit of spending more and thereby incur debt. Here, too, when you spend all your powers, you say that such-and-such a Didi or Dadi or BapDada should give you something. You take on credit. First of all, think whose children you are. You are the children of the Master of unlimited treasures. Do you have this intoxication? When you are the masters and so the children of unlimited treasures, and you then take the powers on credit from others, what would you be called? Very sensible? You do not become so over-clever, do you? Do you know the methods for saving in the savings scheme ? What is the easiest and the most elevated method for saving through which you are able to save all powers? How would you create your budget ? Only when you first make a budget will you then be able to check it. How can you make it so that you can automatically accumulate? To make a budget means to fix a programme for every moment for your intellect, for your words and for your deeds.

When you make a budget , you arrange it so that you only spend a certain amount of it and your expenditure is then created according to that. Only then is your task accomplished successfully according to the budget . So, to make a budget means to awaken at amrit vela and to arrange a plan for your intellect and for what you have to do through words and for what you have to do through deeds. That is, you have to make a diary for all three for every day. After making a diary for every day, you then have to check as to whether you performed your tasks according to whatever you arranged for the intellect. Or, is it that the budget is one thing and the plan is something else? So, the easy method to accumulate all your powers is to make a plan for your thoughts, words and deeds for every day. If, at amrit vela, you fix what the intellect has to remain busy in throughout the day, all wastage would then be finished. If you finish the wastage, you then become someone powerful. In order to finish the wasteful, make your intellect a planning intellect. Only by making your intellect a planning intellect will you be able to accumulate all your powers, for, otherwise, all the powers you use would be spent wastefully. If the account of wastage is finished, you would automatically be able to save. In order to finish the wastage, write your daily diary . Fix your time in this way, then as to what special thoughts you are going to have in your intellect for the day and what you will accomplish through your words for that day. By fixing this, your energy that is wasted by ordinary and wasteful words will be saved. Those who do not waste anything become the best . Those who waste anything can never become the best . Look at everything and increase your savings scheme . Only then will you be able to become master creators. At present, you do not have the power to become a master creator and sustain your creation. If you cannot become a master creator, what would you become? If you do not know how to look after anyone, you would have to be looked after, would you not? So, instead of being a master creator, you would become a creation. So, you want to become a master creator, do you not? Simply keep the two words you were told, "Mela and khel" in your awareness at all times and you will be able to make a savings scheme . Then, you will save the thoughts, time and power that you use wastefully. For this, simply keep your discipline firm. You think that you will do something, but you do not keep that discipline as a daily discipline. You follow it strictly for a month and then Maya begins to come, that is, Maya begins her task of making you unconscious. So, what do you have to do for this?

When you see that someone is not gaining consciousness, you give him injection after injection . Or, when an operation is being performed, an injection is given, so that the patient does not feel anything. When you feel that some force is going to make you unconscious, that is, when you feel the force of Maya beginning, what injection will you give then? You pay attention and have checking anyway but, together with that, check the discipline of taking full power from the Power-house at amrit vela every day. This is the strongest injection of all. If you make a connection with the Father at amrit vela, you would then be saved from being made unconscious by Maya for the whole day. This injection is missing. There should be a good connection . It should not be that you just wake up and sit there. Of course, you observe the discipline of waking up and sitting there, but is your connection good, that is, do you experience having all attainments? If you take an injection but do not experience any power, you should understand that the injection has not fully accomplished its task. In this way, the connection of amrit vela means to experience all powers and all attainments. This is the strongest injection of all.

If the beginning of the day, amrit vela, is good, the middle and the end will also be good. If you do not have the practice of experiencing anything from the beginning, then you would not be able to experience the beginning of the world, that is, all the happiness of the beginning of the world cycle. This is the beginning of the whole day, and so, if you let go of this beginning, and you then wake up and sit down or you forge a connection after some time or after a few hours, then to the extent that you are late here, so accordingly, you would be late there. This is because the first chance of the appointment time for meeting BapDada is given to you children. Then, it is the time for the devotees. If you forge a connection at the time for the devotees, then you cannot receive the blessings that you children should receive. This is why this time has a connection with that time. The most important and first item of the budget is this: amrit vela, that is, the beginning. At that time, check whether you are going to come in the beginning or after a few births. The hours here are equivalent to the births there. To the extent that you miss the hours here, so you will miss that many births there. It is in this that there is a weakness. Of course, everyone sits down (amrit vela). If you were to see the scene of that moment, you would enjoy yourself a great deal. The scene at that time is such that it seems like the museum of the hatha yogis in Jaipur. Many different types of hatha yoga are shown. The scene of amrit vela is such that some try to control their sleep with force and others pass their time by compulsion and some are hanging upside down, that is, they are not able to carry out the task for which they are sitting there. Those hatha yogis are shown standing on one leg, some are hanging upside down and some are in different postures. Here too, the scene at that time is like this. Some pass one second very well, then if you look at them the next second , they are standing on one leg and then the other leg falls. They think that they will accumulate something today, but they are not able to do that. This scene is worth seeing. Some even have yoga whilst sleeping. Just as those people sleep on thorns with force, here, they sleep on a bed of snakes. The posture ( pose ) here of this time is also very wonderful . This is why you were told that by knowing the importance of amrit vela and by putting it into your practical life, you can become great. If you do not make your plans at amrit vela, what would you put into a practical form?

A worldly task is also only accomplished properly when you have a proper plan . If you do not make a plan , you cannot be successful. If you do not fix your plan in this way at amrit vela, you are not able to attain the success that you should from your thoughts, words and deeds. Now, understand the importance of this and become great. You have now clearly been told what effort still remains to be made. By making your amrit vela all right, everything else will become good. Just as you become immortal by drinking nectar, so too, by making amrit vela successful, you will receive the blessing of becoming immortal. Then, throughout the day, you will not be confused by any obstacles. You will be immortal in remaining constantly cheerful and constantly powerful. If you do not take the blessing that you receive at amrit vela of becoming immortal, you then have to labour very hard; you have to labour hard and incur expenditure. Otherwise, by taking the blessing of being immortal, you can be saved from labouring and also any expenditure. Achcha.

To such souls who stay with the Father and those who celebrate a meeting through their every thought at every second, to those who are not separated by even one thought for even a second, ; to the players and the intense effort-makers who constantly observe every scene whilst set on their seat of remembrance as detached observers, to those who become embodiments in a second with one thought, that is, the moment they have the thought, they become embodiments, to such intense effort-making souls who have received the blessing of being immortal, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
