"Devotees and the fruit of their devotion."

Just as devotees receive the fruit of their devotion, in the same way, if a desperate soul comes to you with a feeling of devotion, asking you for donation of life and peace of mind, are you able to give that soul the fruit of his devotional feeling for you? Whatever attainment he receives from his own effort is from his own effort and is the fruit of that, but if someone tells you that he is weak, that he does not have any spiritual power, then are you able through the Father, to give such a soul the fruit of his feeling for you? They will only come to know the Father later on when they first receive some kind of assurance from us. Only when they are able to receive the fruit of their devotional feelings will the yoga of their intellects be connected according to the directions . Many devotees with such feelings will come to you at the end. One type are those who attain a status through their own efforts, and they will continue to come. However, at the end, neither will there be time to make effort nor will souls have the power to make effort. So, for such souls, with your co-operation and on the basis of your duty of giving the great donation, you will have to become instruments to give them the fruit of their devotional feelings. They will just think that they have received a blessing from the Shaktis; this has then been remembered as being taken beyond with just a glance.

When you switch on a very powerful light, the germs in that place are destroyed the second you turn the switch on. In the same way, when you souls are in your perfect, powerful form, it will be like when someone comes and turns on the switch in a second , that is, there is a pure thought, a pure feeling that that soul should also be benefitted. This is the switch of thoughts. By turning it on , by your creating a thought, that soul's desires will be fulfilled straightaway and he will melt internally, because souls who come at the end will become satisfied with even a little. Because their parts are only of taking a few grains, they will think that they have attained all attainments. According to them, that is everything for them. So, every soul should receive the fruit of their desires; none of them should remain deprived. You now need to have such a powerful stage for this, that is, you have to accumulate all the powers in yourself for it is only with the powers you have accumulated that you will be able to give someone the power to accommodate and someone else the power to tolerate, that is, you will be able to give each one whatever he needs.

When someone goes to a doctor, he is given a medicine ( dose ) according to his disease and thereby made healthy. In the same way, you have to make effort to accumulate all the powers within yourself now. Those who wish to become world emperors will not make effort just for their own selves. It is very common to pass the tests and overcome the obstacles that come in their daily life, but those who are to become world emperors will have an overflowing stock which can be used for the whole world. In the same way, those who become the special instrument souls here should be felt to have a stock of all the powers, for only then will you be considered to be close to the final stage of perfection and the time of revelation. At that time, you will not remember anyone. Every second and every thought will be for others.

At present, you have to give time for your own effort and your own body. You have to give energy. You still have to use your mind for your own effort, but this stage will have ended by that time. This effort will then have changed and you will feel that even one second or one thought should not be used for the self but for world benefit. Such a stage would be called complete and perfect. If it is not complete, it is not perfect either, because only the complete stage is the perfect stage . So, now make your effort even more subtle. The efforts of special souls would definitely be unique. Are you experiencing such transformation taking place in your effort? You now have to come to the stage of being bestowers, children of the Bestower. For such souls, giving is receiving. So, now, together with the closeness of time, you also need the perfect stage . The complete stage of you souls will bring perfection close. Just as in the beginning, you used to take time in making effort for yourself, in the same way, you should now check yourselves to see whether you are now using more time for others. According to the drama , arrogance and the consciousness of "I" will then automatically finish. It will happen like that according to the circumstances too. Through this, you will automatically become soul conscious. To engage yourself in this task means to become soul conscious. Without being soul conscious, you will not be successful in your task. Then your stage of being soul conscious will become constant. Have you become world benefactors or only benefactors for the self? Are you busy in settling your own karmic accounts or are you busy in enabling the souls of the world to settle their karmic accounts and bondages? What are you busy in? Since you have kept the aim, constantly use your body, mind and wealth for world benefit. Achcha.
