"Wonder through the balance of connection and correction."

Teachers should pay special attention to two aspects. What are the two aspects? Firstly, that you have a connection with Madhuban, the Father and the divine family, according to the code of conduct. A connection according to the code of conduct is that whatever thought you have or action you perform, you should have the practice of having it corrected at every moment. The two things are, firstly, to have an accurate connection , and, secondly, to pay attention to correcting yourself at every moment. If one of these two aspects is missing, you will not be able to become an embodiment of success. In order to correct yourself, you need to have a constant stage of detachment. If you do not give correction as a detached observer, you will not be able to have an accurate connection . Therefore, check whether you are constantly correcting yourself in every aspect at every moment. One is the connection of the intellect which you call the pilgrimage of remembrance. The other is performing actions in the corporeal world while in connection with your corporeal family. Both connections should be accurate. Is your connection in the corporeal form according to the code of conduct? Within the spiritual family, if, instead of having a soul-conscious connection , you have a connection based on body consciousness, then that is not an accurate connection .

Those who know how to correct and connect maintain constant spiritual intoxication. They have a balance of being loving and detached. Look at a circus : a balancing act has become such a wonderful method of earning an income. They show balance as a wonder, an art. So, here, too, when there is balance , there will be a wonder and also an income. If there is even a little bit more or a little bit less, then neither would it be a wonder nor an income. When you are cooking something, if there is not the right amount of everything, then, no matter how beautiful the dish may appear, it would not taste delicious. In order to make your life elevated and successful, keep the balance , that is, let there be equanimity.

Secondly, you should be able to make your form powerful according to the problems and the time. If the situation is one that you need to face, then become an embodiment of the power to face. If the situation is one that you need to tolerate, then become an embodiment of the power to tolerate. You should have such a practice. To be a teacher means to have balance . You should have the power to adopt any form according to the time. What would you call it if where love is needed you adopt power, and where power is needed you have love? It means you do not have the power to adopt the right form according to the time. In that case, there is no result of service nor is there any success. In order to become a number one teacher , first of all imbibe that thing yourself and then tell others to do it. It should not be that you don't do something, and yet you keep telling others to do it. Before you give a direction to others, check whether that has been instilled into yourself. If you tell others to be tolerant and you are not tolerant, you cannot be called a teacher . A teacher means a teacher who gives teachings. If you yourself are not an embodiment of the teachings, you cannot be an accurate teacher . Constantly remember the slogan : A teacher means an embodiment of the teachings and one who maintains balance . You now have to become a teacher of quality . Your vision should not be on the quantity . Quality can become instrumental for everyone's benefit. You don't now have to increase the quantity of teachers , but their quality . Do you understand?

Personal Meeting with the Sevadhari group in the form of Questions and answers:

Question: What is the essence of all the points in one word?

Answer: The essence of all points is the point form, that is, to become a point.

Question: What double attainment do you have by remaining stable in the point form?

Answer: The point form means a powerful stage in which you don’t have any waste thoughts. A point means the past is the past. With this stage, your actions are elevated and, because of not having any waste thoughts, the speed of your efforts becomes intense. Therefore, let the past be the past. Do not see, listen to or speak of anything wasteful. Let your powerful eye remain open, that is, remain stable in the stage of a detached observer.

Question: What is the method to become like a lotus flower?

Answer: When you see anyone’s weaknesses or defects, do not be influenced by that atmosphere. To overcome this, have an attitude and vision of mercy for that soul and not of opposing that soul. That is, see that that soul is mistakenly under an external influence, and not to be blamed. By having this thought you, the soul, will not be influenced by that atmosphere or that situation. This is said to be detached like a lotus flower.

Question: What do you have to do to become an embodiment of success?

Answer: Do not seek revenge, but change yourself instead. Become a mahavir and do not struggle. To struggle means that when someone says something, you begin to have thoughts about that: What did this one do? Why did this one say this? This is said to be struggling with your thoughts and words. To be humble means to bow down. Only when you bow down will people bow down to you. Do not think that you constantly bow down, and yet no one has any respect for you and that there is respect for those who do not bow down but who tell lies. No; that is only temporary, so have a far-sighted intellect. The more people you bow down to here, that is, the more you imbibe the virtue of humility, the more all souls will bow down to you for the whole cycle. In the golden and silver ages, it will be giving regard to a king and not just bowing down physically but in their mind. In the copper and iron ages, they will bow down physically. Achcha.
