"Signs of one who is constantly wed."

BapDada is seeing the “suhaag” (fortune of being wed) and the fortune of the children. He is seeing the tilak of “suhaag” and the crown of light of fortune. To have the crown and the tilak applied means to be one who has the “suhaag” and fortune. The sign of constantly having a “suhaag” is to have the tilak of imperishable awareness. The sign of constantly having fortune is purity, and to receive all attainments from the Father means to have a crown of light . If the awareness is lacking, the tilak does not then sparkle clearly. A sparkling tilak is the sign of the “suhaag” of your being constantly with the Father. Such a bride, who constantly has a tilak of being wed, is constantly visible in front of the world as an elevated soul. In a lokik way, too, a bride is seen with elevated vision and the bride is always kept ahead when an elevated task has to be carried out. It is believed in the lokik world that if she has lost her “suhaag” (partner), she has lost her world. In the same way, in alokik life, too, every soul is a bride of the one Bridegroom, that is, they are constantly wed to Him. Do you constantly see the tilak of your “suhaag”? The sign of being constantly lost in the love of One, of having the tilak of awareness, is the tilak of “suhaag”. If the tilak is rubbed off, it means you have finished your “suhaag”.

Ask yourself: Am I constantly wed? A bride never becomes separated for even one breath or moment. The words in the mind of a bride are: We will constantly stay together, live together and die together.” The face and image of the bridegroom is constantly merged in the eyes and lips of the bride. She hears only his words through her ears. On the path of devotion, they have the practice of constantly hearing soundless words (un-had shabd), and if they hear this sound even once after making a lot of effort, they consider their devotion to have been worthwhile. The customs and systems of devotion have been copied from your practical life of the present time. The one who is constantly wed hears the eternal great mantra “manmanabhav” echoing in her ears. She would constantly experience the Father repeating these words again and again and bringing back this awareness. While walking and moving around, she would constantly be hearing these imperishable words personally from the Father and would not hear the words of other souls even while hearing them. One who is constantly wed would always have the stage of “I speak to You, I listen to You, I only speak that which You have related.” Such a bride would not bring another soul into her awareness even in her thoughts for even a second . That is, she would never be subservient to any bodily being even in her thoughts. Attachment is something greater, but she wouldn’t even be subservient to anyone. In lokik life, too, for a bride to have thoughts of or to dream of another man is considered to be a great sin. In the same way, if a soul who is constantly wed is subservient to the soul of a bodily being in thoughts or dreams, that too is considered to be a great sin for that soul. To constantly have the “suhaag” means to belong to the one Father and none other. Do you have the tilak of such a “suhaag” applied? Maya does not rub your tilak off, does she? Together with a constant “suhaag”, there is also constant fortune. You do not just have the “suhaag”, but you are also fortunate. The sign of being constantly fortunate means to have a crown of light . In the lokik world, to have a kingdom is a sign of fortune and the sign of a kingdom is a crown. So, too, the sign of Godly fortune is a crown of light , and the basis of attaining this crown is to have purity and all attainments. Complete purity means that there shouldn’t be the slightest trace of any vice even in your mind, and all attainments means the attainment of knowledge, all virtues and all powers. If any attainment is lacking, the crown of light would not be clearly visible; it would be unseen and hidden behind the clouds of impurity and lack of attainment. You would not be able to experience yourself as constantly light or soul conscious. You would not experience yourself to be light while performing action. Only after making effort again and again and after the practice of paying a lot of attention would you be able to experience yourself as being light only for a short time. As soon as you try to think that you, the soul are light , you will experience yourself to be a body, instead of a soul. The basis of fortune is all attainments. The sign of all attainments is imperishable happiness. One who is constantly fortunate would be constantly happy. If there is less fortune, there would be less happiness, and if there is less happiness it means you are not constantly fortunate. So, do you now understand what the signs of being constantly wed and constantly fortunate are? Now, keeping all these things in front of you, check : Who am I? Achcha.

To those who constantly have the tilak of “suhaag”, to the elevated fortunate souls, to those who are embodiments of all attainments, to the constant companions of the Father, to such elevated souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting Didi and Dadi:

How many souls would there be who have constant “suhaag” and are constantly and completely fortunate? How many beads would there be who are constantly double light , constantly filled with all attainments and completely pure? As many as can be counted on your fingers! Only such jewels are especially worshipped. The nine jewels are especially worshipped. A jewel that is of very good quality would reveal many colours within itself even though the jewel itself would be of only one colour. A beautiful, sparkling white diamond would be seen as completely flawless , and, if you were to examine it very closely, even though it is white, all the colours would be seen within it. What is the reason for this? This is the sign of being filled with all powers. All the powers are visible as different colours. That is in terms of science whereas here it is all attainments through silence . After rain, you are able to see a rainbow in which all the colours are visible. Here, too, after the shower of knowledge, the fruit of the rain is to become an embodiment of all attainments. Because of being an embodiment of all attainments, an elevated diamond or jewel is able to attain any power it wants. How many such jewels would there be? In order to be completely free from obstacles, the nine jewels are especially worshipped. When people have a particular obstacle, they especially worship the nine jewels. So, have you become free from obstacles to that extent? Each jewel is complete, yet each one has its own main speciality. This is why the nine jewels are worshipped collectively and also individually; each jewel is specially remembered for a particular obstacle. For instance, if someone has a problem or obstacle regarding money, then, in order to attain wealth, or in order to finish the lack of money, they have a special jewel. If they have had a lot of sickness, the memorial of that is that, even now, they wear a ring on their finger or a locket around their neck that they would have specially made. All of that is on account of the attainments of the present time. So, how many would there be? Are you able to count them? It is not a question of giving names, but of revealing them. If it were to be announced that they were to become well known in the future, because they are not seen in their perfect stage now, there would be questions , “Why this one? How is this possible?” This is also why the Father cannot tell you. He can show you, “This one is among this number. It is possible for this one to come.” It is not a question of telling you. If Baba mentions the name of even one, just see how many questions would arise. “What does this one have that we do not have? This one has this defect.” The Father does not want anyone to waste time in questions . However, the jewels that have been revealed every cycle will definitely be revealed exactly as they were a cycle ago. Nowadays, no one wants to hear names; they want the task accomplished. Now, each one has the aim, “Why should I not make myself move forward and become worthy?” Achcha.

BapDada meeting groups:

You have come from afar to your birthplace. The birthplace of Brahmins is Madhuban. Do you think that you have come to your birthplace? People give a lot of importance to their birthplace. This is the alokik birthplace. When you come to this alokik birthplace, lokik consciousness is automatically forgotten, because it is remembered, “As the land (dharni), so the actions (karni – karma).” It is also remembered: “As the company (sang), so the colour (rung); as the food (ann), so your mind (mann).” In the same way, as the land, so the actions. If the land is tamoguni (impure), then the actions are also likewise. The land affects your karma and sanskars. When you go to a temple, the land there influences you. If someone had an evil thought in a temple, he would consider himself to be a great sinner. Therefore, this is the alokik land, and if you do not have any lokik consciousness while you are here, you will become a constant karma yogi. This is why BapDada constantly says, “Wherever you may be living, always consider yourself to be a resident of Paramdham or Madhuban. In terms of the incorporeal stage, consider yourself to be a resident of Paramdham, and in terms of your corporeal stage, consider yourself to be a resident of Madhuban. As soon as you speak of Madhuban, both sweetness and the attitude of disinterest emerge. In your stage there should be an attitude of unlimited disinterest and when coming into contact with others, there has to be sweetness. You should have both. The stage is connected with the place.

Do all of you have unlimited disinterest or do you still have attachment somewhere? Those who have unlimited disinterest would not have any attachment or be subservient to anyone. They would have stepped away from this old world. Only when you consider the Father to be your entire world can you become one who has unlimited disinterest. If the Father is your entire world, then when you see and experience the world in the Father, what else remains? You would automatically have disinterest. If the Father is your world, you would remain in that world, you would not go into another world, and so you would have stepped away from it. People and comforts are both included in the world. Therefore, have you made the Father your world or is there another world ahead of you? Do you have any other relationships or wealth? The Father’s wealth is your wealth. When you have this awareness, you would automatically have unlimited disinterest. While seeing others, you do not see them; they would not even be visible. Achcha.

When you have awareness, you receive power. If you have power, no situation would shake you from your original stage. You would move along while considering tests to be a game. When you are watching a game or a play and see any adverse situation, would you shake? No matter what happens, even if someone dies, your stage would not fluctuate because you understand that it is a play. In the same way, consider adverse situations to be a part of it. While seeing the part of an adverse situation as a detached observer, you do not shake or wilt but you enjoy yourself. Only when you forget the point of the drama do you wilt.
