"Specialities of Mahavirs, that is, of Special Souls."

This is a gathering of maharathis, that is, of mahavirs. A mahavir means a special soul. What is the speciality of the gathering of special souls? At the present time, the speciality of special souls should be of everyone having a steady, constant stage at the same time, that is, you should all simultaneously be able to stabilise in one particular stage for as long as you want. Everyone's finger of thought should collectively be the same. Until the gathering has this practice, it cannot achieve success. If there is fluctuation within the gathering, there would be fluctuation in the success. Although you would have knowledge of success, it would not be in the practical form. This means that as soon as you receive an order, you should be ready to do it. It is the special souls who are the particular instruments who have to put all of this into practice, is it not? If you were now to receive an order, to finish all waste thoughts for five minutes and to become stable in a steady, powerful stage, would you be able to have such a practice? It should not be that some become stable in the stage of churning, some in having a heart-to-heart conversation and others would be in an avyakt stage. If you receive an order to become stable in the seed stage and you begin to have a heart-to-heart conversation instead, that is not obeying an order, is it? Only when you first finish all waste thoughts will you be able to practise this. Upheaval takes place because of waste thoughts. Therefore, what particular power do you need to make your gathering powerful and united through which all waste thoughts would finish?

For this, you need faith and the power to accommodate. The thread to connect the gathering is faith. Even if someone has done something wrong, whatever he did according to his sanskars and the time was meaningful according to the gathering. There is benefit wherever there is a collective form of service when you move along whilst seeing the sanskars of others with a merciful vision and not keeping their sanskars in front of you. Only when the gathering has such faith in one another can there be success. You should not have waste thoughts in advance. Some souls may even be able to realise their own mistake. However, they would not spread that mistake around, but would instead merge it within themselves; if others were to spread the knowledge of that mistake of theirs, they wouldn't like it. In this way, you should consider the mistake of others to be your own and not spread them around. You should not create waste thoughts, but should, instead, accommodate their mistakes. There should be that much faith in one another. You should be able to put everything right with the power of love. By having both these types of faith, you should interact with one another; only then will there be success within the gathering. For this, you need the power to accommodate to a greater extent. You have to merge waste thoughts. Never compare the sanskars of the past with those of the present time, that is, do not make the past your present. It is when you mix the present with the past that you create a long queue of waste thoughts. And, as long as there is this queue of waste thoughts, there cannot be a steady, united stage within the gathering.

To consider the mistakes of someone else to be your own is to strengthen the gathering. This will only happen when you have faith in one another: the faith to bring about transformation and to bring benefit. Just as the success of spiritual souls is remembered, in the same way, everyone within your gathering should have the same thought. Because there isn't the power of unified thought in a collective way, everything gets spoilt. Just as the power goes to waste, in the same way, the result too is not good. And so, you definitely need the power to accommodate. Whatever you see or hear, merge that completely within yourself and then have the same spiritual vision and benevolent feelings. For those who do not have knowledge, you say that you have to uplift those who defame you. Similarly, within the gathering also, you have to have mercy for one another. At present, you do not have so much mercy, and the practice of the soul conscious stage is therefore also lacking.

Only when there is such a powerful gathering will there be success. At the moment, you have to invoke success, but later, success will bow down to you. Just as nature becomes your servant in the golden age, in the same way, success will also bow down to you. Success will invoke all of you. Since the knowledge is so elevated and you have a powerful stage, success is not a big thing. Those who practise this for a temporary period achieve success, and so it is not possible that those who practise this all the time would not achieve that success. So you need this power within the gathering. When someone says something, others should accept it. You mustn't use the power to oppose within the Brahmin gathering; you have to use this power of opposing in front of Maya. When you use the power to oppose with the family, the gathering does not become powerful. Even if you do not like something, you should still have regard for one another. You should not cut off someone's ideas or words at that time. Therefore, you now have to imbibe the power to accommodate.

You saw sakar Baba: even whilst having the authority, he was like a small child in front of Baba. He was the creation, and, being the creation, he would speak to little children with great regard. He never said anything to anyone. Even though he had the authority, he never used the authority. So, in terms of being brothers and sisters amongst yourselves, how should you interact amongst yourselves?

Within the gathering, the language you use with all Brahmin children should be of avyakt feelings; as though angels are speaking to angels, souls to souls. You should not accept in your thoughts anyone's mistakes you may have heard about nor should you make others accept them. Only when you have such a stage will you be able to put the pure desires of the Father into a practical form. When there is even one powerful gathering, then by pulling one another, a gathering of the rosary of one hundred and eight will be formed. The thread should be of unity and there should be closeness in sanskars; only then will the rosary seem right. If the beads are distant from one another or there are many threads, the rosary would not be right.

Now, before celebrating the year of revelation, this power should also be revealed, either within yourself or as a gathering of serviceable instrument souls. If you are not able to reveal the power within your own self, you will not be able to achieve success in revealing the Father to the extent that you want. Whatever has to happen according to the drama will happen anyway, but the reward that instrument souls should receive for being instruments would then not be visible. It is as though destiny is making everything happen.

This is why there should be a special exchange of each one's effort as well as programmes for the pilgrimage of remembrance. There should be a give-and-take of each one's special effort and special experiences. There should be such a gathering of the Pandavas. When such special programmes of yoga continue to take place, then just see how the flames of destruction will be fanned. The fire of destruction will start from the fire of yoga. One are the flames of the fire of destruction and the other are flames of the fire of yoga, and so the flames will be intensified from one fire. Because the form of yoga of all of you is ordinary, the fire of destruction is also ordinary. The gathering should be very powerful. When you are preparing food, you need water, ghee (cooking oil) and salt. Otherwise, you are not able to prepare the food properly. In the same way, each of you has your own speciality, but a collection of each one's speciality is needed here, because time is also challenging you now. Achcha.
