"The portrait of elevated fortune."

Today, BapDada is seeing the portrait of the fortune of each child. Each one has prepared his own portrait according to his own capacity. The speciality of spirituality is needed in the portrait. A portrait filled with spirituality shows every soul the path to the spiritual Father. Just as a beautiful portrait painted by a worldly painter reminds others of its creator - who the creator of that portrait is - in the same way, a spiritual portrait, that is, a portrait of elevated fortune, automatically attracts others to the Father who created it. Your fortune (bhagya) automatically reminds others of God (Bhagwan) who created your fortune. Have you created a portrait of such an elevated fortune? A spiritual fortune means a walking, moving lighthouse . The duty of a lighthouse is to show everyone the true path. So, what wonder will so many of you walking, moving lighthouses perform? Have you become this or are you still making plans to become this?

This time, BapDada has come to take the results . The study is not taught at the time of the examination days, but an exam is taken of what you have already studied. So BapDada has also taught you a lot through thoughts, words and deeds, and He will now see the results . Is each one of you content with your results ? Have you checked yourself? According to the time and according to the Father’s study, have you made yourself a visible example in front of the world? Many types of example are given to clarify something in particular. However, out of all the examples, the most elevated example is a practical, visible example. So, have you become such that anyone who sees you experiences that the One who taught you or made you is the Almighty Authority Father? A practical, visible example is an easy and elevated method to reveal the Father. Have you adopted this method? You have celebrated the year of revelation, but have you made yourself into a practical example? Is this easy or difficult? To be a practical example means always to have the awareness of who you are and whom you belong to. Is this difficult? Who finds it difficult to remember themselves? It can be difficult to keep in your awareness your temporary part for a temporary period. When a female plays a part of a male , then, while playing her part , she would sometimes fall back into the awareness of being a female . The original form can never be forgotten. So, whatever you are, whomever you belong to, wherever you belong, it is the eternal original form, the eternal Father and the eternal place; it is not temporary . Is it easy or difficult to keep the awareness of the eternal? To give the practical result means to stabilise yourself in the eternal form but, nevertheless you still forget. In fact, it should be difficult to forget. The form that you bring into your awareness, having forgotten yourself, is not the eternal form; it is the form of the middle period. The middle period means the copper age onwards, and so, it should be with great difficulty that you would remember the form of the middle period. That is not the real form; that is unreal.

BapDada has come to take the result , especially of the older ones, those who have invoked Baba through their complaints. For the old ones to invoke Baba means to remain ready to give their results because BapDada has already told you: You tell the new ones who come that for the Father to come means to have the courage to die alive, because the Father comes to take us back and to transform the old world. In any case, when you call the Father, you have to remain ready to give your results . So, you are ready to take the paper , are you not? Are you unshakable on seeing the upheaval of the transformation of the world? Do you consider yourselves to be instruments to bring about upheaval or are you still caught up in your own upheaval? Should BapDada give you a test to make you shake? Will you remain unshakable or will you shake? Are you ready or ever ready ? What is the result ? Do you still shake in the little, limited test papers that come, tests through your own sanskars, tests through your own waste thoughts, tests due to lacking a particular power, tests that come in harmonising your sanskars with others ? Or are you unshakable? An unlimited paper means a paper through the eternal elements, tests through the upheaval of the unlimited world, tests through the unlimited environment, and test papers through the impure and tamopradhan vibrations and atmosphere of the unlimited world. Are you ready to take such an unlimited paper ? First is the paper of the self from the self. Is the paper that comes from the small world of Brahmins, or through the sanskars of Brahmins a mock exam or a real exam? They have exams every six months or twelve months. Have you taken the limited test paper and passed ? Should the unlimited paper now begin? Check yourself in this way, as to whether you have become worthy of claiming pass marks or passing with honours in the test of any subject . Do you understand what you have to do? You are very much afraid. Whom are you afraid of? You are afraid of the little bubbles of Maya which are there in front of you one moment, but not there the next moment. Even little children are not afraid of bubbles. They play with them. They are not afraid of them. Those who are master almighty authorities play with the bubbles. They are not afraid of them. Achcha, Baba will continue to tell you more later. Achcha.

To the walking, moving lighthouses , to those who make their fortune through the images of their fortune, to those who reveal the Father at every moment, to those who are ever ready for the paper of every situation at every moment, to those who become visible examples and who inspire others, to such children who are constantly Mahavir children, love, remembrance and namaste.

Speaking to Didiji:

All of you are the special souls, co-operative in BapDada’s task. In return for your co-operation, you especially receive all attainments easily. For the length of time that you remain co-operative in every way, the immediate fruit of that is that you easily experience all attainments. As you remain co-operative with the Father from time to time, in return, the Father also helps you. When the children have one thought of courage, the Father has a thousand elevated thoughts of co-operation. He continues to give you that co-operation at the right time. The children thought about it and it happened with the Father’s co-operation. This is the immediate fruit of the special souls who give co-operation. Souls who attain immediate fruit cannot experience anything to be difficult; they would feel everything to be as easy as though they are just repeating what they had just carried out. The feeling is not that they did it a cycle ago, but that they have just carried out the task and that they are simply repeating it once again. Even if something happened yesterday, you would have to think about it and draw it out of yourself, but this is something that you just did now. Through this, there wouldn’t be a burden on your intellect. There wouldn’t even be the burden: I have to do this!, how will it happen? It is as though you just did something and you are immediately repeating it. This is the immediate fruit you attain. So, are you those who eat the immediate, visible fruit or are you still thinking on the basis of the future? Of course you will receive everything in the future. However, the immediate fruit is much more elevated than that of the future. Do not wait in anticipation of the future and deprive yourself of the present. One minute you belong to the Father and the next minute you receive the fruit of it. Souls who remain distant from the Father would think of distant things, that is, of the future. Souls who remain close would constantly experience the immediate fruit. They would experience a hundred-thousand fold return of one. It is like this, is it not?

It is not that you are moving along, but that someone is making you move along. Baba is making you move along while having you seated in His lap; so nothing would be difficult. When a child is playing in his Father’s lap, he doesn’t feel tired but would enjoy himself. If the child were to be walking by himself he would get tired, he would cry or cry out in distress. However, here, the Father, the One who is making everyone move, is also making you move along. You are moving along while seated in the Father’s lap. So, you experience such supersensuous joy and bliss. There isn’t the slightest experience of anything difficult or hard labour. Is it an attainment or effort? The souls who become constant companions at the confluence age are totally ignorant of what effort is. There are very few who are totally ignorant of what effort is. This is a sign of the final stage . You are now coming close to that. Even making effort should become like a natural action. Just as other actions are natural - getting up, sitting down, walking, sleeping etc. are natural actions - in the same way, the effort to make yourself complete should also be experienced as a natural action; only then will you be able to transform this nature . That service still remains now. Now, all of you are going to make all others ready to take the final paper , because all of you are instruments. Become ever-ready to such an extent that they remain unshakable in any big or small exam. At the moment, they begin to shake in even little papers – they fluctuate in their own test papers . So now make them prepared in such a way before sending them back that when they come, they are seen as those who are ever-ready . BapDada has given you the realisation course and so He would also want the results of that. Continue to make everyone experienced. They become those who speak of the knowledge, but they don’t become that experienced. If they were to become embodiments of experience, then such experienced souls can never be deceived. To be deceived means you are not experienced. While keeping this aim, continue to bring about these qualifications in others. Baba will see this result . Now, everyone should have the same enthusiasm to become complete and complete the task of world transformation. Otherwise, the task of world transformation is also in upheaval. The clouds fill themselves and shower a little and then they disperse. What is the reason for this? The world transformers who are carrying out establishment are in upheaval themselves. They move away from their own destination and even the clouds therefore become dispersed. They keep thundering, but they do not rain. Achcha.
