"Baba and the children."

Which gathering is this gathering? Do you know the answer to this spiritual puzzle? Do you already know it or are you still coming to know it? If you already know it, then, together with knowing it, are you moving along having accepted it? The first stage is to know, the second stage is to accept and the third stage is to follow. So, what stage have you reached? Have you reached the last stage ? Baba is asking those who answered "yes": Is the third stage ever-lasting ? It is easy to reach the third stage , and you have already reached it. However, now, underline the last stage and make it ever-lasting . "Who am I?" You know the different names and forms of this invaluable life, that is, of the most elevated life, do you not? What is your main form and your main name? You praise the Father with different names on the basis of His different acts, but you still have a main name for Him, do you not? In the same way, the names of you elevated souls have also been remembered by the Father on the basis of your different tasks and your virtues, but what is the main name out of all of those names? When you took birth through the mouth of Brahma, with which name did the Father call you? Until you first become a Brahmin, you cannot become an instrument for any task. First, through the relationship of taking birth to Brahma, you become the mouth-born progeny of Brahma, that is, you become Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. This is what you write as your surname . How do you introduce yourselves and by which name do they know you? Brahma Kumars and Brahma Kumaris. The first stamp of this “dying-alive” life is that of being a Brahma Kumar or Brahma Kumari, that is, of being an elevated Brahmin.

First, you took birth, that is, you became a Brahmin and you received the name Brahmin, that is, of a Brahma Kumar or Kumari, which is ever-lasting up to the third stage . Is it ever-lasting , that is, is your practical life according to the Brahmin stage in your thoughts, words, deeds, relationships, connections and service? Not even the slightest trace of a shudra should be visible in your thoughts or words. You have already been told what the thoughts, words, sanskars and nature of Brahmins are. Do you have an ever-lasting stage according to this? As a Brahmin, is your every deed and every thought similar to Father Brahma's? As is the father, so are the children. Do the children have the same nature, sanskars and thoughts as the father's? Does the father have wasteful thoughts or can he create weak thoughts? If the father does not have these thoughts, then why should the Brahmins? The father is constantly stable in an unshakeable, immovable and constant stage, and so what is the duty of Brahmins, the children? What is the duty of worthy children? To follow the father .

To follow the father does not simply mean to become a Godly server, but to follow the father means to follow the father at every step and in every thought. Are you following the father in this way? Just as the father constantly has Godly sanskars, a divine nature, a divine attitude and spiritual vision, in the same way, have your attitude, vision, nature and sanskars become the same? Have you made your face one with such a Godly character? A face through which the virtues and type of activities of the Father are revealed is said to be that of one who follows the father . Just as you sing praise of the Father and speak of His activities, have you yourself also imbibed all of those virtues? Have you made your every deed a divine activity? Do you perform every deed while in remembrance? Actions which are performed whilst you are in remembrance become a memorial. Have you become such an image that you create memorials, that is, have you become a karma yogi? To be a karma yogi means that your every deed would be yogyukt, yuktiyukt and shaktiyukt. Have you become a karma yogi to this extent? Or, have you become yogis who just have yoga whilst sitting? Is it that you have a yogi life when you sit for special meditation, that you are yogyukt then, or is it that you are yogyukt at all times? You speak of being a karma yogi, a natural yogi and an easy yogi; so are you these in a practical way? That is, is it ever-lasting ? Do actions attract someone who is a karma yogi or does a yogi enable actions to be performed through his physical senses with the power of yoga? If a karma yogi is attracted by actions, would such a soul be called a karma yogi? What would you call someone who moves along under the influence of actions? You would call him a karma bhogi (someone influenced by actions), would you not? That is, he becomes one who is under the influence of the consequence of the action, whether good or bad. You elevated souls are those who become karmateet, that is, you are not dependent on actions, you are free from the action. Do you perform actions through the physical senses while being free? When anyone asks you what you are studying, or what are you going to study, what do you answer? That you are going to study easy knowledge and Raja Yoga. You are sure that this is what you are studying, are you not? Since you call it easy knowledge, it is easy to imbibe and adopt something that is easy; this is why it is called easy knowledge, is it not? So, have you become constant embodiments of knowledge? Since it is easy knowledge, then why should it be difficult to be a constant embodiment of knowledge? It is the task of Brahmins to be constant embodiments of knowledge.

It is natural to stabilise in your own religion, is it not? Similarly, what do you explain as the meaning of Raja Yoga? That it is the most elevated, that it is the king of all yogas, and that you attain a kingdom through it. That it is the yoga through which you become a king of kings. Are all of you Raja Yogis or are you going to attain a kingdom in the future? Are you a king even now at the confluence age, or will you become a king only in the future? What can those who do not claim a ruling status at the confluence age claim in the future? So, just as you speak of the most elevated yoga, so too, you should also have the most elevated yogi life, should you not? First of all, have you become the king of your physical senses? How can someone who is not the king of himself become a king of the world? Are your physical organs and the most elevated powers of the soul, which are the mind, the intellect and the sanskars, under your control ? That is, are you ruling over them as a king? To be a Raja Yogi means to be one who rules a kingdom now. You imbibe the power and sanskars at this time to rule a kingdom. The inculcation for ruling for the future 21 births takes place in a practical way at this time. Has easy knowledge and Raja Yoga come to the third stage ? Are you able to stop your thoughts the moment you issue an order for them to stop ? When you give a direction to your intellect to stabilise in pure thoughts or in the avyakt stage or the seed stage, are you able to stabilise your intellect? Have you become such kings? Those who are such Raja Yogis are called those who are following the father .

Just as a king has his co-operative workers through whom he is able to get any of his tasks carried out at whatever time he chooses, in the same way, the special powers of the confluence age are co-operative with you. Just as a king orders his co-operative workers and tells them that a certain task has to be accomplished by a certain time, in the same way, do you also accomplish all the tasks through all your powers or do you just issue an order ? When you order the power to face to come to you, does it move away? To be an easy yogi means that all the powers co-operate with you in every way. Are you able to carry out a task through whomsoever you wish, whenever you wish? Are you such a king? Just as eight or nine jewels are very well known in the court of the ancient kings, that is, they are remembered as his constantly co-operative souls, in the same way, do the eight powers constantly co-operate with you? Through this, you can know your future reward. This is the mirror through which you can see it by looking at your face and your character.

The six months you have been given will not be the date of destruction. However, this time has been given so that each confluence-aged king is able to prepare his royal workers, that is, to prepare his constantly co-operative powers and make them ever-ready . This is because, if you do not fill yourself with the sanskars of looking after a kingdom now, then, in the future too, you would not be able to become a king and rule for a long period of time. Do you understand the significance of six months? See every co-operative power in front of you and stop your thoughts and see. Use your intellect according to your directions and then see. You have been given six months to rehearse this. Do you understand? Achcha.

To those who are constantly embodiments of easy knowledge, easy Raja Yoga, easy yogi, to those who make all the powers co-operative, to those whose thoughts, sanskars and deeds are like the father's, to such confluence-aged kings, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.
