"The divinity and uniqueness of Brahmin life."

To listen and to merge. It is easy to listen and one would constantly like to keep listening. There is constantly this desire. In the same way, do you experience merging it within yourself to be just as easy? Is there constantly the desire to merge it in yourself so that, by doing so, you become equal to the Father? The form of it being merged is to become equal to the Father. So, are you now in the first stage , the second stage or the last stage ? The last stage is to listen and to become. You are listening to everything and so you will become; you have to become. “We became this a cycle ago and so we will definitely become this once again in the future.” These words finish when you are in the last stage . As you continue to listen to every version, you continue to become that. The aim and the words of those who are in the last stage are clearly visible in their form. For example, when you listen to or relate the first lesson of the soul, the souls who are in the final stage will not just listen to or say these words, but, at the same time, they will also be stable in that stage. This is known as being equal to the Father. They will not just speak of their own or the Father’s form, virtues or task, but they will give the experience of every virtue and task through their form. Just as the Father is an embodiment of experience, He doesn’t just speak about it, so, too, you have to f ollow the Father. You also saw the sakar Father: together with speaking of knowledge, the Father also practically demonstrated it through his actions and his form. To listen to knowledge, to speak of knowledge and to show that in the form of the self: he did all three at the same time. In the same way, are your listening, speaking and the practical demonstration of it simultaneous? Have you merged in yourself whatever you have heard up to now? Have you shown it to the world? Is there a great difference or just a slight difference? What is the result ? It is a common aspect to listen and to relate. To what extent is the uniqueness of being a Brahmin visible? The versions of God are: “My birth and karma are not like that of human beings; they are divine and unique.” Together with BapDada, the births of you Brahmins are also not ordinary, but they are divine and unique. As are your birth and your divine name, so, too, is your activity divine and unique.

Every worldly clan has a line of their own code of conduct. In the same way, do you stay within the line of the code of conduct of the Brahmin clan? Do you cross the line of the code of conduct even in your thoughts, due to any attraction, that is, do you go outside the line of the code of conduct? To remember the sanskars and nature of a shudra means to become an untouchable; it means to step outside the Brahmin family by yourself. So, check for how long you had the support (sahara) of the Father and for how long you stepped away (kinara) from the Father throughout the whole day. Those who constantly keep stepping away from the Father cannot experience the support of the Father, the companionship of the Father and the attainments of all treasures received from the Father, even if they want to. While living on the shore of the ocean, they simply remain observers and cannot attain anything. They constantly have the desire to attain but are not able to experience having attained everything. They remain seekers and cannot become those who have a right. So, throughout the day, for how long do you remain in the stage of a seeker and for how long do you remain in the stage of one who has all rights? When someone new comes to you, you first get him interested. To be interested means to have a desire to attain something. You also keep aside those who are interested. You do not allow them to become part of the gathering or the regular class . Only when they say that they now have experience, that they have faith and have accepted this, that they now know everything, do you give them permission to come into the gathering. So, ask yourself: When you have the stage of a seeker, do you truly not automatically experience yourself to be distant from the support of the Father and the clan, that is, the support of the gathering, instead of being close? Instead of experiencing support, do you not automatically step away with your intellect? Do you not become devotees who ask for something instead of being His children? “Give me power! Help me! Chase Maya away! Show me a way! Free me from Maya!” To say these things is not the sanskars of a Brahmin. Brahmins never call out. The Father Himself calls the Brahmins with elevated titles . You know this, do you not? How many titles do you have? To be a Brahmin means to have finished calling out. To be a Brahmin means to be a crown of the head, not to be influenced by matter or Maya. So, have you become such crowns of the head? When Maya comes, it means you are under the influence of attachment. When you are influenced by your old sanskars and your old nature, that is being influenced by attachment. Those who are influenced by attachment cannot become the crown of the Father’s head. They cannot become the ones who have the crown of the kingdom of the world. Those who become a crown of the Father’s head cannot be influenced by attachment even in their dreams. Do you understand? Realise this. The self-realisation course is now taking place, is it not? Achcha.

To the most elevated beings who follow the highest code of conduct and who constantly stay within the line of the code of conduct of the Brahmin clan, to those who listen to, speak of and become equal to the Father, to those who demonstrate everything through their practical form, to those who are the crowns of the head, to the elevated souls who constantly stay within the support of all attainments from the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada speaking to Didiji:

Would you call this going or coming? You can only call it going and coming when you leave someone’s company. Wherever you may be going from, going means leaving something behind. However, can you use the words ‘going and coming back’ here? If you are here, you are together (in Baba’s company) and if you are there, you are still together. For souls who constantly maintain the company, who are always in the same place and always have that companionship in their stage, you would not say that it is going. In Madhuban as well, when you go from one room to another, you would not say that you are going away, that you should take leave; no. You go and come naturally because you are together. This too is just touring from one room to another, because you are a resident of Madhuban. Therefore, you do not say, “Good-bye”. Instead, you constantly give congratulations for service. You constantly stay together. You move along together; you are constantly together. This is your experience, is it not? To be a maharathi means to be equal to the Father. For maharathis to earn an income of multimillions at every step is a common aspect, but you also have the blessing of making other souls multimillion times fortunate. Maharathis would not say that they are going, but they are moving along together. Service that maharathis do is through their eyes, to enable many other souls to attain the blessings that they have attained from the Father, that is, to reveal the Father through the self. While seeing you, others should automatically be reminded of the Father, and the sound should emerge from everyone’s heart: It is a wonder of the One who has made you like this. Therefore, the Father will be revealed. The Father will be revealed through you and you will become incognito. At present, you are still visible and the Father is incognito. Later, you will hear the praise of the Father’s revelation being sung from everyone’s heart. You will not be visible, but they will only see the Father wherever they look. That is why, wherever they look, they will only see the Father. This sanskar becomes merged at the end and this is why they call out on the path of devotion saying, “Wherever I look, I only see You.” At the end, the faces of all of you will be like mirrors. Nowadays, they place such mirrors in the temples that you are able to see the same image in many forms (sides). In the same way, the faces of all of you will be instruments to reveal the Father in all directions, and the devotees will say, “Wherever I look, I only see You!” Souls are filled with the sanskars for the whole cycle here at this time. With this sanskar, the devotees will attain liberation. This is why the sanskars of copper-aged souls of attaining liberation and of seeing God wherever they look have to a great extent emerged . Your devotees and the Father’s devotees are fixed at this time. The kingdom is created at this time and the devotees are also created at this time. So, you are going to awaken the devotees and to meet the children. On this tour, check how many have become your devotees and how many have become Baba’s children. Both have special parts . Devotees have a part for half a cycle and the children have all rights for half a cycle. Will devotees be visible now or at the end? The number one devotees who do intense devotion, who are the beads of the rosary are also to be revealed here - the beads of the rosary of victory and the rosary of devotees - because the time for filling souls with these sanskars is now, at the confluence age. Devotees will call out at the end: O God, give us something too! They will take this sanskar from here and the children will experience the company. Achcha.

BapDada meeting the Teachers :

The seed of every action of a worthy teacher will bear fruit. It will not be wasted.

‘Teachers’ means those who teach. What does a teacher mean? Here, a teacher means one who is an embodiment of the teachings. What is the easiest way to give the greatest teaching? There are many types of facilities for teaching. What is the easiest way of teaching? To give teachings through your form and not through your lips. Sakar Baba gave teachings in the easiest way through his form. He didn’t teach just through words but also through action. It’s not that others would learn from what you tell them, but Baba’s mantra was: Whatever I do, others who see me will do the same. So, the easiest method of teaching is through your form. No matter how much you explain to others, “You are a soul, an embodiment of peace, an embodiment of knowledge”, that person will not understand unless you yourself are stable in that stage. The study taught through experience becomes imperishable to that extent. So, how do you teach - through words or through your form?

A worthy teacher teaches many souls through her every step; she makes others into embodiments of the teachings through her lectures or the seven days’ course . The words spoken by such a teacher are not just versions, but elevated versions, because every word is one that makes others elevated. So, they are elevated versions. Every action is one that gives the fruit of making many others elevated. Karma is the seed and the result is the fruit of karma. The seeds of karma of such teachers would be fruitful. If the seed is powerful , then the fruit that emerges from it should be very good. Every seed of karma would be fruitful; it would not be wasted. This is known as being a worthy teacher. Just as there is praise of Brahma’s thoughts as to how he created a new world through just one thought, so too, every thought of a worthy teacher would enable her to have all rights to the new world. Do you understand? This is the definition of a teacher.

Teachers also have the gift of a lift . What is that? To be a teacher means to renounce the old relationships. A teacher has the fortune of this renunciation as a gift of a lift . You have already had the first renunciation. The first renunciation is that of relationships. You have already renounced them. The list of further renunciation is a long one. However, the renunciation and the thought of remaining courageous and of being co-operative becomes a gift of a lift . If you have full renunciation, you can become a gift for the Father and for the world. Become such a lift that as soon as you sit in it you reach your destination and you don’t have to make any effort. Teachers have many chances , but only those who want to will take them. Everyone sings the praise of the fortune of becoming teachers and desires the same. Others have this desire and so it means the fortune of the teachers is elevated. Each one is numberwise in keeping it constantly elevated. Teachers can easily make their fortune as bright as they want, but only those who are worthy teachers can do this. You are not teachers who are happy with just a little, are you? With which vision does BapDada look at the teachers ? As His equals, because the Father is also the Teacher . When a teacher sees another teacher , she sees her as her equal, and there would be happiness on seeing your equals. Teachers would be constantly content. To question them means to insult your equals. Achcha.
