"A stable stage whilst seated on the seat of faith."

Do all of you experience yourselves to be seated on the seat of faith? The seat of faith doesn't sometimes shake, does it? Is your seat of faith so unshakeable and immovable that, no matter how much any type of situation, element or person tries to shake that seat, it cannot be shaken? Those who are constantly stable on the seat of faith are remembered as the victorious ones who have faith in the intellect. The sign of remaining unshakeable is to be constantly victorious in your every thought, every word and every deed. Do you experience yourselves to be such victorious jewels? You are not going to be shaken by any situation, are you? Those effort-makers who think that there can be upheaval created by a situation or who have such types of thought, raise your hands! Is there anyone here who feels that, "Yes, this can happen"? If you don't raise your hand now, just be careful because a difficult paper is still to come; so what will you do then? If all of you are to pass in the paper , no matter how difficult it is, then should the date of the paper be announced? Are all of you ready for that? You will not say at that time that you hadn't understood this aspect or that you hadn't thought about it or that this is something completely new, will you? The test of faith is that whatever you consider to be possible will come to you as an impossible test paper ; will you be able to remain unshakeable at that time?

There are four main aspects to becoming one who has faith in the intellect, and you need to have the full percentage in all four. You know these four things and you even follow them. 1) Faith in the Father: who He is and whatever He is, to know and to accept Him in whatever form He is playing His part . 2) To know clearly and to accept the knowledge received from the Father through experiencing it. 3) Whatever you are, however you are, that is, to know, to accept and to conduct yourself according to the importance of your elevated life of this spiritual birth, of your elevated Brahmin life, of your elevated part , of your elevated stage and place. 4) To know the present, most elevated, auspicious, beneficial time of the stage of ascent and to take every step accordingly. To have full faith in all these four aspects in your practical life is known as being victorious by having faith in the intellect.

You also need to check the percentage in each aspect. Don't just become happy that you have faith, but also check if you have a high percentage . If the percentage is less in even one aspect, then the seat of faith can shake at any time due to any minor situation. Therefore, check your percentage , because the time is now coming close for becoming perfect. So, even a little weakness can cause great loss at that time, for the purer and more satopradhan you become, whatever you consider today to be a little weakness, or experience as an ordinary stain, would be very clearly visible on a very pure and clean stage . Therefore, now have subtle checking accordingly and make intense effort to overcome your weaknesses. Day by day, the more elevated you become, the more well known you become in the eyes of all the souls of the world. Everyone's vision is increasingly falling on you. Everyone is now waiting for the time when souls who are instruments for establishment will accomplish their task of establishing a new world of peace and happiness, so that, on the basis of this establishment, this sorrowful world can be transformed. Their vision is on those who are carrying out establishment, but where is the vision of those who are carrying out establishment? Are you engrossed in your own task or is your vision on those who are to bring about destruction? You are not moving along on the basis of hearing the news of the instruments for destruction, are you? Do you also become slack when they become slack? Is destruction to take place on the basis of establishment or is establishment to take place on the basis of destruction? Those who are carrying out establishment have become instruments to intensify the flames of destruction; it is not that those who are to bring about destruction are instruments to intensify the efforts of those who are carrying out establishment.

Those who carry out establishment are images of support. Those who are such images of support are not shaken on hearing about destruction, are they? They are not fluctuating, are they? "Will it happen or not? What will people say? What will people do?" These waste thoughts are not making the seat of your faith shake, are they? All of you raised your hands for having faith in the intellect, did you not? Faith means not to have any questions of “Why?”, “What?” or “How?” even in your thoughts. Because the royal form of doubt is in the form of thoughts, you sometimes say that you don't have any doubts, but that you have that thought. So, whose creation did that thought arise from?

Since you are those who have full faith in all four aspects, can you have any such thoughts arising? Since this is the benevolent age and you are the souls who follow the elevated directions of the benevolent Father, you cannot have any thoughts other than those of benevolence and the stage of ascent. Every thought of such souls for a particular task is powerful at every moment; it is not a wasteful thought. You are not afraid, are you, thinking of what you will have to face? To take a paper means to move forward, that is, to come very close to perfection. This paper is now about to come. If you have a clear intellect, you will be able to make others clear also. This doesn't mean that you should think that it is not going to happen. Whatever happens in the drama from time to time is like pulling a hair out of butter, is it not? Has anything been difficult? BapDada has seated you in His eyes and on His heart-throne and is taking you across, is He not? Will anyone else fulfil the promise and the task of being with you till the end and of taking you across any situation? The Father has to take you with Him. What would you say if the Almighty Authority is your Companion and yet you have such thoughts arising? Finish such wasteful thoughts and remain engrossed in the task for which you are instruments and BapDada's helpers. Intensify the fire of your deep love and, through this fire of love, the fire of destruction will also become intense. First of all, sacrifice all your weaknesses and shortcomings in the sacrificial fire of the imperishable knowledge for which you Brahmins have become instruments; only then, when the sacrifice of the entire old world has been made, will completion take place. Now strike the matchstick of determined thought, for only then will this task be accomplished. Achcha.

To those who remain engrossed in this fire of love, to those who accomplish their task whilst seated on the seat of faith, to those who remain unshakeable and immovable in every situation, to the co-operative souls who are always close to BapDada, to such loving souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
