"One who has thoughts of the original self, one who has pure thoughts for others and one who is a world transformer."

Today, BapDada was looking at the present results of the entire army. He especially saw the results in three things. Just as you have the four main subjects , in the same way, BapDada saw the results of all four subjects in three stages . What are those three stages ?

First stage : To what extent you have become one who has thoughts of the original self.

Second stage : To what extent you have positive and pure thoughts for those who are in close relationship and connection with you.

Third stage : In terms of world service, to what extent you have become a world transformer. To what extent the stage and percentage of transformation is revealed. Through the results of these three stages , the results of all four subjects become very clear.

Baba especially checked the first stage : to what extent you have become one who has thoughts of the original self. The results of all three subjects are based on this. Check for how long you maintained thoughts of the original self throughout the day. Because of being a world transformer, you continue to make plans for world transformation, and you also continue to fix a time for that. By using the right method, you also continually have different thoughts and plans for expansion. So, do you also become one who has thoughts of your own original self and think every day about new ways and new methods of how to become perfect? According to the result , you make more plans for the third stage . Only sometimes you do have zeal and enthusiasm for making plans for the first stage . Or, sometimes, time draws your attention or some circumstance or the result of a particular subject draws your attention . However, this attention only remains intense for a temporary period.

In the result of the second stage , there is a slightly greater percentage of those who have pure and positive thoughts for others than of those who maintain thoughts of the original self at the present time. However, there cannot be success or completion of the task or the perfection of one's stage until the speed of the first stage has accelerated. For this, make plans for the self. Of course there is temporary progress through programmes , but the method to have permanent progress is to become one who has thoughts of the original self.

According to the present time, the speed of your effort should be in the form of concern for effort rather than just thinking about making that effort. Of course you make special programmes for service, and you are concerned day and night as to how to make them successful and for this you make your day and night equal. However, this concern is a concern that takes the form of happiness; it is a concern that finishes all other concerns, just as you tie yourself in one pure bondage in order to free yourself from all other bondages. Although it is called a bondage, it makes you free from bondage. In the same way, although you may call this a concern, in fact, it brings you the attainment of the inheritance from the Father. Similarly, through this concern, you are easily able to create the stage of being constantly content, cheerful and like a lotus flower.

At present, you think about how it should be and you even think that it isn't according to what it should be. Your thinking is in the form of, "It should be like this; I should do this; this is how I should do it; I should do this.” However, you have to become and live the form of your concern; you have to become this and make others this too. To say "It should be like this" is not the form your concern should take. Unless you adopt a special method for yourself, you will not be able to have that form of concern. Do you know what the special method for this is? What new things will you do through which you will be able to see success with that method? By following the old methods, even the form of that old method no longer remains, but what remains instead?

Why is there carelessness some time after you start to do something? The main reason is that, even now, the intellect doesn't have full faith in the completion of time. Because of not having this fixed, you remain carefree. Just as you stop being carefree about your service plans from the moment you fix a time, in the same way, if you fixed a time for your own progress, you would experience a special result from that also, would you not? When you fixed a special month for staying on the pilgrimage of remembrance, you saw the practical fruit of success of the accurate method resulting in the special atmosphere. Similarly, how will you become an embodiment of success unless you fix a time for your own progress? That is, by such-and-such a time, you should become an embodiment of success in terms of these specialities, that according to the time you definitely have to become one who maintains thoughts of the original self and who also has positive thoughts for others. So, unless you become your own teacher and tie yourself in this bondage you will not be able to free other souls from all their bondages for all time. Do you understand?

What will you do now? Just as you have special weeks or months for different topics for service, in the same way, together with service, also fix a time for your own self on the basis of using different methods. This year is for making such special effort. Of course, time is getting shorter, but, as you progress further, you will have even less time for your own self. What will you do then? People today say that at least they previously used to have time, but that they now don't even have that time. In the same way, you should not complain about yourself like this later on, saying that you did not do whatever you had to do for your own self, because the closer the time comes, the more your time will be used in distributing the prasad (holy food) of the great donation and blessings to all souls of the world. This is why there is not a lot of time left for being one who maintains thoughts of the original self. Achcha.

To such great donors and bestowers of all blessings, to those who maintain thoughts of the original self and who have pure and positive thoughts for others, to those who are constantly merciful towards all the souls of the world, to the master oceans of all powers, to the souls who are instruments to bring benefit to the world through their every thought and word, to such victorious souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
