"Various stages of Children"

Have you attained the blessing: May you be bodiless? The moment you have the thought “I am bodiless”, you should become an embodiment of that in that second . Has this practice become easy? To experience this being easy is a sign of perfection. Sometimes to find it easy, sometimes difficult, to experience the bodiless stage sometimes in a second and sometimes in a minute and sometimes to take even longer than that means that you are far from the perfect stage . To experience this to be constantly easy is a sign of perfection.

Just now, BapDada went on a tour to see all the children in this land and His land of Bharat. While touring around, what did He specially see? He saw three types of children.

1. Those who make themselves full of all powers with the jewels of knowledge and the power of remembrance, those who are constant chatraks and who take at every second , that is, those who imbibe at every second , who have no attachment to anything except to attainments and to making themselves complete and perfect. Whether it is night or day, their love is constant. Baba saw such living chatraks in both places, abroad and in Bharat.

2. Those who were lost in love for service and who remain engaged in making plans for service day and night, those who experience happiness in themselves as a result of service . However, they did not constantly experience a stable stage in having all powers, in having the power to be a conqueror of Maya in every thought or in attaining the blessing of “May you be bodiless”. Those who experience special happiness, but have less experience of power, who have the experience of being knowledge-full to a greater extent, but who have less experience of being powerful , those who have greater churning of knowledge, but are embodiments of power to a lesser extent: Baba even saw such children.

3. While keeping their destination in front of them day and night, those who have the pure desire to become complete, who are constantly engaged in making effort, those who experience more time in making effort and less time in attaining, those who spend more time in facing one type of problem or another, those who are engaged in making difficult things easy: such children experience themselves to be on a battlefield for a long time. Baba saw many such children.

The stage of the first type of chatrak was constantly: I have attained that which I wanted to attain. Now, there is very little time remaining. The second number who were serviceable and knowledge-full to a greater extent and less powerful have the stage: I have attained, I am receiving. They have the faith that they will definitely attain. They are swinging in the swing of happiness, but in between, in order to make the swing swing fast, they need some support. What is that support? Someone who has done service has to be given courage and enthusiasm, that is, someone should tell him: “Very good! Very good”. Otherwise, while he is swinging in the swing of happiness, it comes to a standstill. Those who have come to a standstill need to be made to move again. Those who have the first stage have an automatic swing.

The stage of the third type is that they sometimes remain cheerful on the basis of their attainments and victory, but, because of repeatedly battling in their situations, they sometimes experience tiredness. They experience themselves to be happy for a short time on the basis of the support of one means or another. They are sometimes happy but sometimes complain, “What can I do? How can I do this? I am doing this, I am making so much effort, my fortune is like that! Such a part is fixed for me in the drama , and just this much happened in the previous cycle too.” They are sometimes high and sometimes low, they continue to go up and down this ladder. Baba saw three types of such children. According to the present time, the stage of each one should be experienced as having all attainments at all times. Now, in this last period, you should not be battling but should constantly have the intoxication of being victorious, because the Father has made you a master of all the powers and has given you the right to have even more elevated attainments than He has Himself. Those who are such masters and have all rights should not be in the stage of experiencing the second or third stage , but should be experiencing the first stage . The foreigners’ group is known as the group that has come last and goes fast , and fast is first . So, all the foreigners’ group that has come, all of you are those who have the first stage , are you not? The first stage means to be constantly an embodiment of experience. You are those who remain lost in this experience at every second , are you not? You are not those who sometimes say, “Sometimes this happens and sometimes that happens!” You are those who remain constantly in the sweetness of One and who have all experiences through the One. Such souls are known as first . BapDada is proud of such children who have come last and are going fast . BapDada sees the line of fortune on the forehead of each child: What is the future of each child? He is pleased on seeing their future. Even in the group that has come now, there are good children in whom there is hope that they will become instruments to be the lamps of the world and show the path to others, the same as the Father. Now, this meeting is especially for the foreigners, is it not? Some are sitting here personally and others are constantly engaged in this remembrance, day and night, abroad. What are they experiencing? When a special programme is to be relayed on radio or TV , everyone then keeps the switch of their own sets on . Everyone’s attention is just in that direction. In the same way, children abroad everywhere are sitting with the switch of their awareness switched on . Everyone has the awareness of Madhuban. Even while being far away, the Father can see some children personally in front of Him in this gathering. Achcha.

To such children who are sitting personally in front of the Father in the corporeal form and those in the subtle form in front of Baba with the yoga of their intellects, to such victorious children, those who are swinging in the swing of supersensuous happiness, to the ones who are embodiments of attainment, who have a right to all blessings, to those who are constantly respected by the world and who are constantly benevolent towards the world, to such lamps of the world, to the children who are seated on BapDada’s heart-throne, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.

Personal meetings:

The recognition of Maharathis through the success of the powers.

While seeing the jewel on the forehead, are you able to recognise the line of fortune on each one's forehead? You are easily able to recognise this from the vibrations of the elevated soul, which is the jewel in the centre of the forehead. You can easily understand from their vibrations the effort and experience of attainment of every soul. Just as something fragrant very quickly spreads its fragrance into the atmosphere and you are instantly able to tell from those vibrations whether it is something good or not, so too, the more your power of discernment increases, the more you will instantly be able to tell to what extent a soul has experienced spirituality as soon as that soul comes in front of you. You will also easily be able to understand to what percentage the soul maintains a spiritual stage. Just as you can tell the percentage of something with instruments of science , in the same way, with the power of silence , that is, through the stage of the soul, you will be able to understand all of this. This is known as the power of discernment. To be discerning about someone through that one's sanskars, words and activity is common , but to be able to be discerning about someone through the vibrations of their thoughts is the real power of discernment. Do you understand? This is the power of discernment of the maharathis.

This power will increase that much when, even though someone may not be in front of you but is about to come to you or is far from you, but while being at a distance, on the basis of the power of discernment, you would be able to discern that one as you would discern someone who is in front of you. In other words, this is known as success of the powers. You will be able to attain this success. Those who have devotional spiritual knowledge have the power to be able to understand what someone wants to say even though he may not say it in words. They are able to tell in advance what someone wants to say; they are able to discern in advance what that soul is about to do. Similarly, here, too, you will be totally accomplished with the power of discernment. However, you have to use these powers accurately; you mustn't waste them or use them for a wasteful task. This success and power will then be instrumental in bringing a lot of benefit. You will develop this power. When others see someone with this power, the praise of the Shaktis, which has been remembered on the path of devotion, will emerge from their lips: You are this, you are this. All this praise will first be revealed practically and then be remembered as a memorial. This stage will also come, but only for a few and only for a short time. This is why Baba says: Those who stay till the end will be able to see and experience these scenes. Such Shaktis will also have the parts to give their finger till the end, will they not? Shaktis and Pandavas, but, it will be those who are embodiments of power, not those who are weak. Both will take place at the same time: on one side, there will be cries of distress and on the other side, there will be victory. That will be in an extreme form and this too will be in an extreme form. Achcha.
