"Only those who are constantly stable in their form of having all symbols"

can grant a vision of the Father through themselves.

BapDada has come into the gathering of spiritual love of the loving children. Only once in a cycle, at the confluence age, does such a gathering of spiritual love take place. In no other age can the gathering of love between the spiritual Father and the children take place. Do you consider yourselves to be multimillion times fortunate in this gathering? It is such elevated fortune that the Father, the Almighty Authority Himself speaks of this fortune of the children. The Father is very happy to see such fortunate children. Just think what that fortune itself would be! While just remembering the fortune, you become the beads of the rosary which the Father turns. It is such elevated fortune that, even today, at the end of the iron age, the devotees who turn that rosary consider themselves to be fortunate. All are desperate to experience even a little of that elevated fortune. You are so fortunate that, just by mentioning your name, others consider their lives to be worthwhile. So, just think how great this fortune would be! Do you always consider yourselves to be such fortunate souls?

The greatest clan of all is the Brahmin clan, and you are the deepaks (lights) of this Brahmin clan. To be a deepak of the clan means to glorify the name of the Brahmin clan constantly with the light of awareness. Do you consider yourself to be a deepak of the clan in this way? Is the light of awareness constantly ignited? It has not been extinguished, has it? A constant light means a light that is never extinguished. People keep a constantly burning light in front of your non-living images. That is a memorial of the constant, living light; so can the living deepak be extinguished? Would you like an extinguished light? So check yourself: when the light of awareness is extinguished, how do you feel? Is that a constant light? The sign of a (constant) light is to be constantly an embodiment of awareness and an embodiment of power. Awareness is deeply connected with power. When someone says that he has the awareness of being Baba’s child, but that he has no power, it is not possible at all, because the awareness is that of being a master almighty authority. To be a master almighty authority means to be a form of power. To be powerful means to have strength (shakti). So, why does it disappear? What is the reason for this? You make the mistake of one word. What is that mistake of one word? You have to become a corporeal one (sakari) who is holding all the symbols (alankari). Instead of being one with all the symbols (alankari), you become one who has arrogance of the body (deh ahankari). You become one who has arrogance of your own intellect and arrogance of name and prestige. Even while having the symbol of the form with all symbols, you are not able to imbibe all these symbols. The limited princes and princesses of today’s world always maintain their royalty and decoration. In the same way, the elevated souls of the Brahmin clan should also be always decorated with all the symbols. These symbols are the decoration of Brahmin life, not of the deity life. So, you should always keep the decoration of your symbols on you, but what do you do instead? You catch hold of one symbol and let go of another. Some can hold three symbols whereas others hold four symbols. BapDada continues to watch the games of the children. Arms means power, and on the basis of this power you can become one with all symbols. However, the arms of power continue to shake. When the arms are constantly shaking, how can you hold the symbols? Therefore, no matter how much you try to hold the symbols you are not able to do so. So, which one word should you remember? Not to be one who has any type of arrogance, but to be one who has all the symbols. Because of not being constantly stable in your form of having all symbols, you are not able to grant a vision of the self or the Father. Therefore, make the arms of shakti strong, otherwise, you will not be able to hold the symbols. Do you know the symbols? You know about them and you speak about them, so why are you not able to imbibe them? BapDada sees the wonderful games of the weaknesses of the children. Just as the divine acts of God are limitless, so too, the divine games of the children are also limitless. Each day, there is a new game. You become coloured by Maya’s games. Instead of spinning the discus of self-realisation, you start spinning the wasteful discus of looking at others. From the copper age onwards, you have had a lot of interest in the habit of listening to and telling wasteful stories. Even now, a trace of that sanskar emerges now and then. Therefore, you are not able to become like a lotus flower and become one who holds the lotus. Instead of being like a lotus (kamal), you become weak (kamzor). You give others the message to make them into conquerors of Maya, but you never even think about whether you are a conqueror of Maya or not. This is why you are not able to become one who has all the symbols. Become one who has all the symbols, not one who has arrogance of the body.

To those who remain constantly stable in the stage of holding all symbols, of being egoless and incorporeal, to those who are constantly victorious, to the constantly ignited deepaks who enlighten the whole world, to the lights of BapDada’s eyes, love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting Didiji:

What is the speed of creating a new life of those who are creating the new world? Only when you first bring about newness in your life will you be able to bring about newness in the world. The more complete and beautiful you make the building of your life, the more complete and beautiful a fortune you will receive in the new world. You are drawing the line of fortune with your actions. That is a limited line of fortune on your palm whereas these are the lines of action. The more elevated and clear your actions are, the more elevated and clear your line of fortune will be. So, you can see your own future through the lines of action. Who will be able to live on the banks of the River Jamuna? Those who have stepped away from the old world for all time and have made the Father their constant Companion will be the ones who together will have palaces on the banks of the River Jamuna. Who will be studying with Shri Krishna? He will have companions who teach and study with him, will he not? Those who have special parts of constantly teaching and studying will also be the companions in teaching and studying there. Who will dance with Krishna? Those who have performed the dance of making their sanskars the same as the Father’s in the confluence age. Those who perform the dance of making their sanskars the same as the Father’s here will dance there. Who will become part of the royal family ? Those who constantly maintain the royalty of their purity , whose vision is never attracted to limited attractions and who are constantly decorated with all the symbols. Those whose idols are constantly decorated and have that royalty are the ones who will become part of the royal family . Who will become the heirs? An heir means one who has a right. Those who constantly have a right here and never become subservient to Maya, but who maintain the pure intoxication of having a right, are the ones who will have a right there. Now, each one of you can check yourself: Who am I? This is the riddle. Some souls have parts of being together throughout their entire lives: of studying together, of dancing together, of living in a palace and of being part of the royal family . Some souls also have all rights. This is the plan for the new world. Achcha.

BapDada meeting the teachers:

Do you know why BapDada has special happiness when He meets the teachers ? You are the teachers who are equal to Baba. Just as the Father is the World Teacher and Server, so you teachers are also teachers and servers. Seeing those who are equal to oneself, there is special happiness experienced. You are equal in the stage of being a teacher. Nothing except service should attract you. Day and night, remain busy in service. If you remain free from service, other things will then emerge. Scorpions and cockroaches come into an empty home; they come into an empty home or an old home. It is the same here. Either the intellect is empty or it is filled with old sanskars, and so the scorpions and cockroaches of waste thoughts come.

1) A teacher is one who is constantly busy , not one who remains free, not one who remains free in thoughts, words or deeds.

2) A teacher means one who is equal to the Father and becomes a close bead of the rosary of victory. A teacher’s aim is to become a bead of the rosary of victory.

3) A teacher does not mean one who is sometimes victorious and sometimes defeated, but one who is constantly victorious.

4) A teacher means one who constantly has a tilak, one who constantly has the fortune of having the Bridegroom as the Companion. A tilak is the sign of being wed. So to be constantly in this state means to be one who constantly keeps the Father as the Companion. To be in this state means to be one who has a tilak.

The place of a teacher is the heart-throne. If you vacate your place, others will take it. The seat of a teacher is the Father’s heart-throne. Once you let go of your seat, all your renunciation and tapasya finish. So, never let go of this seat as there are many who would take your place. Everyone has the zeal and enthusiasm to go ahead of the teacher . If the teacher goes ahead even more, then she can be seated on the heart-throne. A teacher’s world is very small. A teacher’s world is just the one Father; Mother, Father, Friend, Brother. What else is there in the world? There are all relationships and all material things. Here, you have the attainment of all relationships with the Father. It is a small world, but it is complete and powerful. There is nothing missing in this small world. You have all relationships with the Father. It is not that because you have the relationship of the Father, you do not have the relationship of the Mother, or if you have a relationship of the Mother, you do not have a relationship of the Friend. If the attainment of even one relationship with the Father is missing, the intellect will definitely be pulled in other directions. You should experience all relationships with the Father. Otherwise, other relationships will pull you towards them. Since your entire world is the one Father, all forms are included in that. This is known as being a number one teacher , a flawless teacher , a worthy teacher and a well-known teacher . The Father always sees everyone with elevated vision. If the Father were to look at weaknesses, then those weaknesses would be underlined for all time. However, Baba is the Bestower of Fortune and so He always sees everyone with elevated vision. In comparison to being elevated, weaknesses automatically make your conscience bite you. When you listen to elevated things, weaknesses are clearly visible automatically. This is why the Father constantly speaks of the elevated things through which weaknesses are automatically visible. If Baba were to look at your weaknesses, a long and complicated story of the Vedas and scriptures would be created.

All teachers should especially pay attention to one thing. You must never be dependent on anyone even in a royal way. You should not be dependent on any soul’s virtues, service, co-operation, intellect or planning . When you make that soul your support, you become subservient. When another soul becomes your support, the Father’s support is automatically removed. Then later, as you progress further, when the temporary support shakes, you begin to wander and stumble. Therefore, realise that it is a great mistake to be impressed by any particular soul. It is not just a mistake, but a big mistake. Do not become happy because service is expanding; that is just temporary splendour. If the foundation shakes, then service will also shake. Therefore, never make any soul your support. Do not think that service will not increase or there will not be any progress because of a particular person. This is not just a reason, but a black mark that dirties a clean soul. This is a very big flaw. To make another soul your support is a very big flaw, in which case you will not be able to become flawless . However, Baba knows that you do work hard. BapDada is congratulating you for the hard work you do. You have already been told that there are many stories in the scriptures that have no foundation . This is why you were told that a teacher is one who is always busy in service. In your thoughts too, keep busy with your Father and you will then not be busy with any other soul. Those who are busy will never be subservient to anyone. It is only when you remain free that you are attracted towards a place of entertainment, to someone’s love or co-operation. Those who are busy do not have time for those things. BapDada is pleased to see the teachers . You have very good courage, zeal and enthusiasm. You are moving forward, but you must not make stories of your work into scriptures. With the line of action, you have to make your fortune elevated. Do not make up such stories whose beginning is false and whose story is wrong. To teach students means to teach oneself.

BapDada enjoys talking to the teachers . There is greater love for those who follow and those who are equal. Whomever one has love for, even their small weakness seems very big. This is why BapDada is signalling you. The mirror is very clear at amrit vela for you to see how close you are. Teachers are those who give salvation , not those who take salvation (of facilities). It is not necessary to ask the teachers if they are happy and content. Remain happy and content and continue to expand service. The scene when your arms shake is also very good; you pick up one symbol and drop another one. Sometimes, you try to put the discus right and you drop the conch. When you hold the conch, you drop the lotus. Now, you teachers have to stop the scripture stories. Make your fortune at every second in every thought. There are those who listen to stories, those who tell stories and those who make up stories. Just as those are said to be the wonder of Vyas (one who wrote the scriptures), similarly, here, too, there is a wonder. You give it birth, you sustain it, but you are not able to destroy it. Then you repent and ask Baba to help you. Achcha.
