"The very deep secrets of karma."

Do you know which scene within the eternal, imperishable drama BapDada is particularly happy to see? At present, BapDada is seeing the unique and amusing games of the Brahmins. Just as children say, “O Prabhu, Your games are wonderful and totally limitless”, in the same way, the Father also says, “The games of the children are wonderful and of great variety .” Do you know what the most wonderful game is that Baba sees? One minute you say that you have a lot, but then you yourself know what you do and you also know why you are doing it. When souls are under an external influence, when they are influenced by vice or are unconscious (unaware), it is not understood what they are saying or doing. Even Brahmins play such games. Seeing such games, BapDada has mercy, and, along with that, He also becomes the Supreme Justice who is very just, that is, He maintains the balance of both love and law . On the one hand the Father is merciful and, as the Father He allows you a little freedom, that is, He forgives you once, twice, thrice. On the other hand as the Supreme Justice , because He is benevolent, He tells you the Godly laws for your own benefit. What is the greatest eternal law of the confluence age? According to the drama plan , the automatic law that continues is: a hundred thousand-fold attainment or repentance and suffering for one-fold. The Father does not have to do or say anything like the worldly systems, such as ‘this is the result of this action’ or ‘that this is your punishment for this particular action’. That is because this Godly machinery is automatic , and none of the children can understand this. Therefore, it is said that the secrets of karma are very deep.

You know the Father, you have attained Him and also claimed your inheritance and you have also accepted yourselves as Brahmins within the Brahmin family. You have received the title of Brahma Kumar or Kumari and have also become an instrument for Godly service. You are called easy Raj Yogis, you began to experience attainments easily, you began to have Godly intoxication and intoxication of all attainments, you began to see the goal of your reward, but then what happened? You were unable to face successfully the challenge of Maya. Because of not being able to recognise the different forms of Maya, some see Maya as being powerful and become disheartened, thinking, “Will I be able to become victorious?”, whereas others, while facing Maya, sometimes experience victory and sometimes defeat. They become tired, and so they just come to a standstill wherever they have reached. Although they think about moving forward, they do not have the courage to do so. Some do not have courage within themselves and are not able to have the courage to seek the Father’s company and co-operation directly . Therefore, they make their companions who are on the same path their guides, that is, they think that it is only through them that they can receive company and co-operation. Instead of the Father, they consider another soul to be their support, and so they move away from the Father. Because of considering a straw to be their support, they continue to waver and fall in the storms again and again; they constantly experience the shore to be very far away. Together with moving along with the support of other beings, some souls try to move along with the support of one type of salvation (facility) or another. “If this happens or that happens, I will then make effort. If I have this salvation, I will then make effort.” They continue to move along on the basis of the support of the crutch of this salvation . Not taking the support of the eternal Father, they hang on to many temporary supports.

Because of making something that is perishable and ever-changing their support, they only experience all the attainments for a limited time and even their stage does not remain constant; it repeatedly changes One minute they would be very happy and blissful, and the next minute their face would have wilted; they would be unhappy and without enthusiasm. The reason for this is that their support is like this. Some souls are able to come very close to their destination because of their zeal, enthusiasm and courage and the Father’s co-operation. However, the accounts of 63 births have to be settled here. The past sanskars and nature are emerging and are being finished for all time, but, because of not knowing the deep secrets of karma, they become afraid and think, “Will this continue till the end?” Why is there still this conflict? Because of the confusion of these waste thoughts, they are not able to overcome anything. They waste their time thinking about all of this. A few out of multimillions consider the storms to be a gift of the drama . They consider the conflict caused by nature and sanskars to be a means of moving forward. They recognise and overcome Maya by constantly keeping the Father as their Companion. They observe everyone’s part as detached observers and remain constantly happy as they continue to move along. They always have the faith that they have now almost reached their destination. So, the Father sees all these types of games of the children.

Remember that you have given the true Father the boat of your life and so the boat that has the company of the Truth may rock, but will not sink. Having given the responsibility to the Father, do not take it back. “I will be able to move along.” Where did this “I” come from? To finish the consciousness of “I” means to belong to the Father. You continually make this mistake, and then you yourself become confused and distressed by this mistake. Finish the body consciousness of, “I am doing this”, or, “I am not able to do this.” Now change this language. Now that “I” belong to the Father, who is responsible? Consider your responsibility to be that of moving along as the Father makes you move along, and of doing exactly as He says. In whatever position of your stage the Father places you, you will stay there. You will not mix the dictates of the self, of the consciousness of “I”, with shrimat. You will then go beyond repentance. You will become an embodiment of attainment and achieve an easy speed of effort, that is, you will constantly have an intellect that is good and wise. Do not allow yourself to become afraid on seeing others. “What will happen? Will this also happen?” Do not be afraid, but go into the depths because, at present, since the final moments are close, on the one hand, all the many remaining accounts of your own sanskars and nature or of connection and relationship with others will emerge, that is, they will come to take their final leave. So, do not be afraid of the many tests of the mind that come as illnesses, but consider this extremity to be a sign of the end. On the other hand, because the final moments are close, you will be able to see the secret machinery of karma working at a very fast speed. Only here, before you go to the land of Dharamraj, will you have visions of your actions and the punishment. After becoming a true child of the true Father, after becoming a resident of the land of truth, if you perform even a slight action of falsehood, you will have many wonderful visions of instant punishment here. You will not be able to step foot on the land of the Brahmins and the Brahmin family. Every flaw will be very clearly visible; it will not be able to remain hidden. Then, you will find that, because of your own mistake, your mind will not be able to stabilise itself. You will make yourself a victim of punishment. All of this is going to happen. Be knowledge-full about it, but do not be afraid. Do you understand? Those who are master almighty authorities are not afraid. Achcha.

To those who know the deep secrets of karma, to those who constantly follow the Father’s shrimat at every second and at every step, to those who have given the responsibility of their life to the Father, to those who constantly keep the support of the Father in front of them and who put aside all obstacles, to those who keep their perfect stage in front of them, to such souls who constantly have zeal, enthusiasm and courage, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada speaking to Didiji:

The Father now wishes to see you children in the perfect form, but wonderful things will be seen while you are becoming complete, because this is the practical paper . No matter what type of new or surprising scene comes in front of you, it should make you a detached observer. It should not make you fluctuate. When any such scene comes in front of you, then, by first of all being seated on the seat of the stage of a detached observer, there will be great pleasure seeing that scene and taking any decision. There won’t be any fear. Everything is already accomplished and so it will be impossible to be afraid or fearful. It will be as though you are once again seeing a scene you have seen many times, and because of this you will not have any thoughts or speak such words as, “What happened? Why did it happen? Does it happen like this? This is something new” etc. In fact, you will become even more yogyukt, raazyukt and, by becoming a lighthouse, make the atmosphere double light . You won’t make it such that others feel afraid. You have had this experience, have you not? This is known as experiencing a paper as big as a mountain to be something as small as a mustard seed. Weak ones would feel it to be like a mountain whereas master almighty authorities would experience it to be like a mustard seed. Numbers are given on this basis. The numbers are given on the basis of passing a practical paper . Numbers are always given on the basis of a test paper . The study continues but the numbers are given on the basis of a test paper . If there is no test paper , no numbers are given. This is why elevated effort-makers consider any paper to be a game. One would never feel afraid in a game. A game is just entertainment. One would not feel afraid in entertainment. Day by day, you will see many scenes to make you and others move forward. However, a little mistake makes everything difficult. What is that mistake? You have already been told. “How can I do this? I cannot do this. I can no longer continue.” Who says that you have to continue by yourself? The Father has not said that you should continue to move by yourself. Move along with the companionship of your Companion. Why do you let go of the company and continue to move while carrying the burden, and then have to say, “I am not able to continue by myself. I am not able to do this?” It is your mistake and you then blame the Father! You yourself let go of Baba’s finger, you take the burden on yourself and you then say that you can no longer carry it! Who says that you should carry it? However, because you have that habit, you continue to do this. When someone has the habit of carrying a burden, if you ask him to sit and do something easy, he would not be able to do it. Here, too, you become subservient to your past habits. However, you are not even allowed to say that it is because of your past sanskars. If you still have past sanskars, it means you have not died alive. Once you have died alive, you have a new life and so you should have new sanskars. The past sanskars are of your previous birth, not this birth. That was a different clan from this clan. That was the shudra clan, and this is the Brahmin clan. When you go from one clan to another, you have to move along according to the maryadas of the new clan. Just as in a lokik way, when a girl gets married into a different clan she has to adjust herself according to the maryadas of the new family, here, too, the clan has changed. Therefore, do not become weak by thinking that these are your past habits, and so all of this will happen. However, this is according to the present time maryadas of your clan. Achcha.

Both you Shakti and Pandav Armies are those who are able to recognise Maya and chase her away, are you not? You are not those who are frightened and come to a standstill, are you? Generally, warriors use the slogan , “To be defeated, to retreat or to stop is the work of weak ones.” A warrior means ‘to kill or to be killed.’ You are also the spiritual warriors in the spiritual army. Spiritual warriors, too, are never afraid, never retreat, but continue to move forward and are constantly victorious. So, are you those who will be victorious or those who become afraid? After battling a lot, do you sometimes become tired? Or, after battling every day, do you become careless? In fact, it becomes like this when someone has to do the same thing every day. You think: “This will continue all the time. How far am I going to continue to do this? It is a question of one’s whole life, not a question of just one year.” However, if you look at the whole life in terms of a reward for 5000 years, then, is it a matter of one second or of your entire life? If you look at it in unlimited terms, it is a matter of a second . Those who have a broad, unlimited intellect will look at everything in terms of the unlimited; they will never become tired. Out of the whole cycle, you have three-quarters attainment and only a little experience of descent at the end. On the basis of this short time, there is attainment for three-quarters of the cycle, and if you look at everything in this way, then this is nothing. You have the unlimited Father and your inheritance is unlimited. Therefore, keep your intellect in the unlimited and finish limited things. Do you understand? When you are moving with someone’s support or someone else is taking you, there is no question of being tired. The Father is carrying you in His lap of the companionship of remembrance; so why do you walk and become tired? Why do you climb out of the lap of His constant Company so that you then have to cry out in distress, “What can I do?” You don’t have to do anything, and yet you become tired! What is the reason for this? Your own lack of understanding. You become stubborn, just as a child becomes stubborn. You have the stubbornness of a child and follow the dictates of your own mind, and you therefore cause yourself distress. So do not be stubborn like a child. If the dictates of your own mind are mixed with shrimat, then those who mix manmat with shrimat receive punishment. The Father does not give punishment, but you bring punishment upon yourself. To lose your happiness and power is punishment, is it not?

You would definitely be coloured by the company of the person you are close to. If you are close to the Father, you would definitely be coloured by the colour of His company. As the colour of the Father is spiritual, whoever keeps His company will be coloured with the spiritual colour. If there is the company of just the One, you would be coloured by one colour. If you constantly have the company of the Almighty Authority Father, you can never wilt. If there is the connection , you continue to receive the current . If the connection is all right, you automatically receive the current of all powers, and when you continue to receive all powers, you remain constantly happy; your sorrow finishes. The confluence age is the time of happiness, and so if someone experiences sorrow at such a time, that would be very bad, would it not?

What main signs indicate that you are a mahavir? According to the present time, to experience the stage of ascent at every second and in every thought indicates that you are a mahavir. Those who are not mahavirs will sometimes experience the stage of ascent for some seconds , in some thoughts and, at other times, they experience the stopping stage. The stage of ascent automatically enables you to become an instrument for the service of bringing benefit to everyone. One can also bring benefit to some through vibrations and the atmosphere. This is why it is said that due to one’s stage of ascent, there is benefit for everyone. They then become instruments to show the path to many. They do not experience stopping or becoming tired. They are constantly tireless and maintain their zeal and enthusiasm. Those who never lose their enthusiasm are called mahavirs. Those who stop are called the cavalry and those who become tired are the infantry. Those who constantly continue to move along are mahavirs. Their vision will never be drawn to any form of Maya. They will not even see Maya. Even while seeing any form of Maya, they will not see it. To be a mahavir means to have full knowledge , and those who have full knowledge can never fail . It is only when you have not made a particular aspect of a lesson firm that you fail . You mustn’t just have knowledge , but you have to become knowledge-full . Such souls will not speak such words as, “This is something new. I don’t know anything about this.”

What is the last effort and the last service ? The effort and the service needed now is that of making the atmosphere powerful through your attitude, because the majority is powerless in being able to move ahead through their own effort. So, it is extremely essential to give weak, powerless souls power through your own attitude. This service is now needed because they have heard everything through words and have all now become full ; they feel that all of this is nothing new. They do not wish to take any more through words. One’s attitude has a direct connection with the atmosphere. When the atmosphere is powerful, everyone will be safe . This is the special service required nowadays. A bestower of blessings (vardaani) means one who serves through his attitude. A great donor (mahadaani) is one who serves through words. Nowadays, it is the stage of a bestower of blessings that is required. You can do whatever you want through your attitude. Your time for taking blessings has now finished. Children of the Bestower are bestowers. A bestower does not need to take, so now become a bestower of blessings.

Just as you make plans for the expansion of service , so, too, now make plans for progress in your effort. In service you need the co-operation of others, but in planning your own progress in effort you can achieve a lot with the Father’s co-operation. Now fix a programme for your thoughts, words and deeds. Keep a daily diary for yourself. Only then will you be able to claim a number ahead. Otherwise you will not be able to claim a number ahead, but will have to stay behind. These are the signs of those who move forward. Achcha.
