"Make preparations instead of waiting."

The Father is always happy to see His children. At present, compared to all the other souls of the world, every child of Mine is elevated, and in the future, too, they become worthy of being worshipped by the world. Seeing such souls who are worthy of the most elevated praise and worship, the ones who are yogi and gyani and with all the divine virtues, the constant world servers who are always lost in love for BapDada and who constantly co-operate with Him, the Father experiences such great happiness! Although all of you are numberwise, even the last bead of the rosary is great in front of the rest of the world. Knowing this greatness and praise of yours, do you conduct yourselves accordingly? Or, while moving along, do you consider yourselves to be ordinary? The alokik lives and the alokik karma you have received through the alokik Father is not ordinary. Even today, devotees place the last bead on their eyes because even the last number bead is a star of BapDada’s eyes; it is the light of the eyes. Even today, they place such jewels of light on their eyes. While knowing and speaking of your elevated fortune, do not become unaware of it. As soon as you had the firm faith in your mind, together with an honest heart, that you were a child of the Father, the praise and attainment from that one second become so great. Do you know how large your lottery is when you become a direct child of the Father? Within one second , your name and sanskars change from those of a shudra to those of a Brahmin. In this game of one second , the world, the sanskars, the attitude, vision and awareness all change. Yet you forget such an elevated second ! Even today, people of the world have not forgotten it. You souls changed while going around the cycle but the people of the world have not forgotten it. They become so happy when they speak of your fortune. They believe that you attained God. You souls are the embodiments of experience who receive all attainments. Therefore, since the souls of the world have not forgotten this, why do you forget it? You should not forget it, but you do.

What newness will you show BapDada in this New Year? According to the time you have been given, you should all appear to be perfect. According to the aim, all Brahmin souls should have completed all their efforts. You are all ready for transformation, are you not? The time that you Brahmins have been given is not for making effort on yourselves, but every thought and every word of you children of the Bestower has to be used in giving all the treasures you have attained to all souls of the world. This extra time is not for your own efforts, but it is for giving your time, virtues and treasures to others. If you use this time and treasures for yourself instead of the purpose for which the Father gave them to you, then you are being dishonest with the treasures entrusted to you. This year is the special year for Brahmins to become great donors and bestowers of blessings. Just as you make monthly programmes and have a special month for yoga and a special month for service, so, too, according to the drama plan , you have been given this extra time to become great donors. So far, all of you know very well the old language, the old situations and the old customs and systems. The time of this year is not for those. Just as you have surrendered yourselves to the Father, so now surrender your time, all attainments, knowledge, virtues and powers in serving the world. Whatever thought you have, check whether it is for world service. By surrendering yourselves for service, you will very easily become complete. When you make a special programme for service, then, because you are busy in a special task, you do not pay attention to having rest, having facilities for yourself or even to the trivial tests that may arise from other souls. You avoid all of those because you constantly have your task in front of you and you remain busy in that. You do not use time for yourself, but especially for service. In the same way, in the New Year, by remaining busy in this task and by using every second and every thought for service, you will pass all tests in such a way that it will be as though they are nothing. You won’t even have the thought of what the situation was or why it happened. By surrendering yourself in love for service, all the big and little papers or tests will also automatically surrender themselves. Just as the form and name of something changes when put into a fire, in the same way, the name and form of any test will change and take on the form of attainment. You will not be afraid of the word ‘Maya’, but you will instead constantly dance in the happiness of being victorious. When you experience Maya being your slave, would the slave be your server or would you be afraid of her? When you surrender yourself to service, then Maya automatically surrenders herself to you. However, when you do not surrender yourself, Maya also takes her chance very well. By taking her chance , she becomes a chancellor over Brahmins. Do not allow Maya to become your chancellor . You yourself should take any chance for service and become a chancellor . Now, do you understand why you have been given this time? Now, do not have any complaints . According to the present time, everyone has to become complete . A complete soul never complains . Such a soul doesn’t use the language, “It just happens; it happens like that all the time.” In the New Year, there should be a new language and new experiences. It feels good to take care of old things, but not so good to use them. So, why do you use them? Put them away carefully for 5000 years. Do not have love for those old things.

When in front of the devotee souls, the beggar souls and the thirsty souls always consider yourselves to be those who are identically like the Father, embodiments of those who grant visions, as you move along. The queues of all three are very long. Engage yourself in finishing the queues . Quench the thirst of the thirsty souls. Give a donation to the beggar souls. Show the path of meeting God as the fruit of devotion to the devotees. When you remain busy in finishing these queues , your queue of all questions within the self will come to an end. Do not wait in anticipation of time, but remain engaged in making preparations to make all three types of souls full. You will not now ask when destruction will take place, will you? Finish this queue and the time for transformation will also finish. Do you not feel that the confluence age is more elevated than the golden age? Is it that you have become tired? Since you ask “When will destruction take place?” it must be because you are tired that you are asking. The Father has extreme love for the children. The Father likes this mela, and the children like heaven. You will receive heaven for 21 births, but you will not receive this confluence age again. So do not become tired. Engage yourself in service and you will experience the practical fruit of it. Your future fruit is fixed, but you will not be able to experience the happiness of this practical fruit throughout the whole cycle. Therefore, listen to the call of your devotees, become merciful great donors and play your parts of being great charitable souls. Achcha.

To such obedient children of the Father who have determined thoughts and become obedient within a second , to the world benefactors, the great donors and the bestowers of blessings who, like the Father, make everyone complete, to those who remain constantly busy in service, to such children who are equal to the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting Didi:

What one thing is everyone waiting for? The answer to the riddle of the beginning, “Who am I?” This will continue until the end. Everyone is in anticipation of knowing who they will be in the future and where they will be in the rosary. When will this anticipation finish? You all discuss this with one another and also have heart-to-heart conversations: “Who will become part of the eight? Who will become part of the 100?” There is no question of who will become part of the 16,000. Ultimately, who will become part of the eight and the 100? The foreigners wonder which rosary they will become part of, and those who came at the beginning think that those who have come last will go fast and wonder whether they themselves have a place in the rosary, or whether that is only for those who have come last . What is the result? The Father has the account book, and the position of anyone is not fixed . How did you select the winner in the art competition ? First, you made a shortlist of the good ones, and you then chose the first, second and third numbers . You first have to make a shortlist and then fix them, numberwise. So, now, the shortlist has been made but, as yet, no one is fixed . What will happen to those who come at the end? There are always some seats kept empty till the end. Even when reservations are made, they keep a quota aside till the end. However, out of the handful selected from the many, there are a lucky few.

Achcha, in which rosary are you? Have hopes in yourself. There will be one or another wonderful aspect on the basis of which your hopes will be fulfilled. The speciality of the eight jewels lies in one particular aspect. The practical memorial of the eight jewels is special in that you are able to see each of the eight powers in their practical lives. If even one power is not so visible in your practical life, then, just as an idol that has an arm missing would not be worthy of being worshipped, in the same way, if one of the powers is missing, you would not be fixed as yet in the list of the eight deities. Secondly, the eight deities are considered to be specially loved by the devotees. ‘Specially loved ones’ means those who are greatly worthy of worship. Every devotee receives every type of method and success from their specially loved deities. Here too, those who are to become part of the eight will be the specially beloved ones now, that is, they will show the path to success through their every thought and activity to the whole Brahmin family and will be considered even now to be great images in front of everyone. They will have all the eight powers and they will be elevated souls, great souls and bestowers of blessings in front of the family. This is the speciality of the eight jewels.

BapDada meeting Madhuban resident brothers and sisters:

All of you Madhuban residents remain constantly lost in love in remembrance of the Father, do you not? Like the Father, you remain constantly stable in a tireless and double-light stage, do you not? You remain tireless to the extent that you remain light. Any type of burden would tire you. Anyone who is physically heavy would become tired; anyone who is light would not become tired. So, too, any type of burden of the mind or in connections or relations would tire you. Madhuban residents have received the blessing of being tireless. So, you are tireless, are you not? Should there be even more melas? The further you progress, the bigger these melas are going to become; they are not going to get any smaller. The more melas you have, the more you will need to have. No matter how many more plans you make, the bigger these melas will become, because it is only at the confluence age that the Godly family grows. The less time there is, the greater the increase will be. You do not think that you will be left out if many others come, do you? Those who have become embodiments of renunciation are automatically thought of by others. All of you are selfless, are you not? The more detached you remain from all desires, the more your desires will easily be fulfilled. There is no tiredness when there is happiness and attainment. Madhuban residents should find new ways of making effort so that everyone else can follow . Now that the New Year has begun, you have to find something new. Invent a new way to make easy effort and share your practical experience with others. All souls look at you with great regard. Just as they look at the sparkling stars in the sky with an elevated vision, so, everyone also regards you as being the most elevated, the luckiest and closest souls. So, remain stable in the stage in which you are regarded by others. They regard your way of walking, eating and speaking as a divine activity. Every act of the Father was also regarded by you as a divine activity. So, you have to be those with an elevated character, not ordinary, as you perform every act. Madhuban is a stage in front of the world. Every actor pays so much attention to his every act when he is on a stage . Even if he raises his hand, it would be with great attention because he knows that everyone is watching him. Every act of yours has great importance. BapDada looks at all of you with the same importance as is given to the souls of Madhuban. Achcha.

Make new plans for becoming easy, natural yogis, because, this year, everyone has this aim of the final stage of experiencing easy and natural yoga. On what basis are you able to have easy yoga and with which method can you become a natural yogi? Make this plan and experience it and then share that experience with others and everyone will sing your praise. Create new methods of effort whereby you have to make less effort but achieve greater success. Make such plans that, when everyone sees them, they will all give thanks the Madhuban residents. Achcha.

Meeting groups

1. The method to remain safe from Maya and the vibrations of the world.

Souls who remain constantly absorbed in love for the one Father and none other remain safe from every type of attack from Maya. When bombs are dropped during a war, everyone remains underground so that they are not harmed by the bombs. So, too, when you remain absorbed in love for the One, you will remain constantly safe from Maya and from the vibrations of the world. Maya will not have the courage to attack you. Remain absorbed in love; this is your means of safety .

2. The sign of jewels who are close to the Father.

The souls who remain close to the Father will be coloured by the Father’s company of truth. The colour of the company of the truth is spirituality. So jewels who are close will remain constantly stable in a spiritual stage. While being in bodies, they will be detached from their bodies and stable in their spirituality. Even though the body is visible, the wonder is not to see the body while seeing it, but to see the soul that is not visible. Those who maintain their spiritual intoxication are able to make the Father their Companion because the Father is the Spirit.

3. The easy way to go beyond all the attractions of the old world.

Always have the intoxication that you are the masters of the imperishable treasures. All the Father’s treasures of knowledge, happiness, peace and bliss etc. are your virtues. A child is automatically the master of his father’s property . A soul with all rights has the intoxication of having all rights and is thereby able to forget everything else; he is not aware of anything else. There is just the one awareness: the Father and I. With this awareness, you will automatically be able to go beyond the attractions of the old world. The target is always very clear in front of those who maintain their intoxication. The target is to become an angel and a deity.

4. The wonderful game of one second through which you can pass with honours .

The game of one second is to be in the body one moment and to go beyond the body in the next and remain stable in the avyakt stage. Do you practise this game of a second , so that you are able to remain stable in whatever stage you want as and when you want? The final paper will be that of just one second . Those who fluctuate in this second will fail and those who remain unshakeable will pass . Do you have such controlling power ? You should now practise this intensely. The more upheaval there is, the more peaceful your stage should be. An ocean is very noisy externally, but, deep down, it is extremely silent. Similarly, you need to practise this. Only those who have controlling power will be able to control the world. How would those who are not able to control themselves rule the world? You need the power to pack up. In one second , you should be able to go into the essence of the expansion and in one second , go into the expansion of the essence. This is the wonderful game.

5. Continue to swing in the swing of supersensuous joy.

Seeing you constantly swinging in happiness, other souls will also experience happiness and forget their sorrows. Your eyes and faces should give happiness to others. Become bestowers of happiness to this extent. Those who become such bestowers of happiness cannot experience any waves of sorrow even in their thoughts.

6. In Madhuban, you easily experience earning an income at every step. Madhuban is called the land of blessings. Something that you attain easily is said to be a blessing. As soon as you come to Madhuban, all labour finishes and you start experiencing easy attainment. How much did you earn in this short time? To come to Madhuban means to accumulate in your mine of wealth. You accumulated a treasure-store in a short time because you know the importance of this place. Madhuban is BapDada's direct place of karma; it is the land of His divine activity, the land of service and the land of tapasya. Here, you have the atmosphere and vibrations of tapasya. By coming to this land, you are easily able to experience all these things. Just as during the season for especially earning something, you cannot stay without earning, you even renounce sleep, so, in Madhuban too, you have an extra lottery for earning an income. You are the tapaswi kumars. A tapaswi does not just do tapasya whilst sitting down, but tapasya means to have deep love, and to experience that deep love whilst walking, moving around and eating. To be in the remembrance of One and to take your meals in the remembrance of One is tapasya. Whatever chance you get, take that chance, make yourself full and also make others full.

7. Do you children of the Ocean of Knowledge constantly play with the jewels of knowledge? The greatest, imperishable jewels are the jewels of knowledge. The children of the Ocean of Knowledge would play with jewels of knowledge. For half a cycle, you had stone intellects and played with stones, and therefore experienced sorrow and peacelessness. What do you play with now? Jewels of knowledge. A king’s child would play with golden and silver toys. Similarly, the children of the Ocean of Knowledge would constantly play with jewels of knowledge. You will not experience waves of sorrow or peacelessness when you play with jewels of knowledge . Gyan are jewels and also knowledge . On the basis of knowledge , you cannot experience any waves of sorrow or peacelessness. You are now leading a new life. You will feel that that life of sorrow and peacelessness was not your life, that it was someone else’s life. You will then laugh at your past life.

8. All of you are jewels of contentment, are you not? A jewel constantly sparkles in the centre of the forehead. A crown has beautiful jewels studded on it. A jewel of contentment constantly remains on the Father’s forehead, that is, it stays in the remembrance of the Father. Even the Father remembers that one. Since children remember the Father, the Father also gives the return . Those who are constantly in remembrance of the Father will remain content in every situation. Even if the situation is one of discontent or sorrow, such souls will always remain happy. In a situation of sorrow, let your stage of happiness remain constant and stable. A situation that is like a mountain will be experienced on the basis of the power of knowledge to be like a mustard seed, that is, it will be like nothing, but it is nothing new . Do you have such a stage? No matter what happens, it is nothing new . This is known as being a mahavir.

9. Do you consider yourselves to be multimillion times fortunate? An income of multimillions is being accumulated at every step. Do you experience yourselves to be masters of such countless multimillions? In the whole world, there are a handful out of multimillions who create such an elevated fortune for themselves. The memorial of a handful out of multimillions and a few out of that is of you souls because to know the Father who has come in an ordinary form and His task is the part of a handful out of multimillions. You know Him, you have accepted Him and have attained Him. When the Master of the World has become yours, then the world is yours, is it not? Just as when the seed is in your hands, the tree is anyway yours, is it not? You have now found the One whom you were looking for. You found God while sitting at home and so there should be so much happiness. “God made me belong to Him.” Maintain this happiness and your vision will not be drawn anywhere. Even while looking at something in front of you, you will not see it. You found the Father, you found everything. This is the greatest happiness of all. Let your mind dance in this happiness. What else can be of greater happiness than this? This is why it is remembered: If you want to know about supersensuous joy, ask the gopes and gopis.

10. Do you constantly consider yourself to have the fortune of happiness? Do you have the faith that in the whole world, yours is the highest fortune? No one else can have the fortune of happiness that you have. The Father Himself came and made us belong to Him. While speaking of this fortune, constantly continue to dance in happiness. What would the fortune of such souls be, when they have happiness one moment and sorrow the next? However, your fortune is imperishable. Constantly remain embodiments of bliss, those with such fortune. You have attained what you didn’t even have in your dreams. You found the Father, you found everything. Maintain this happiness and you will constantly be an embodiment of power.

11. The most elevated life is Brahmin life. The name of Brahmins is the highest, their task is the highest and their stage is the highest. Just as the praise of Brahmins is the highest, in the same way, do you experience yourselves to be true Brahmins, that is, those who have the highest stage? The Father is the Highest on High and you are the highest on high. Maintain the awareness that the Father and you are the highest and your actions and thoughts will automatically be the highest. Burn the old accounts with the fire of yoga. The fire should be so intense that all name and trace of anything wasteful finish. At the confluence age, you have to finish the old accounts and start new accounts. If the old account continues you will then not have the attainment of happiness that you should have. One minute you will be weak and one minute you will be powerful. The Father is constantly powerful and so the children also have to be constantly powerful. Achcha.

12. Do you constantly consider yourselves to be the most elevated great souls? Great souls are those with such awareness, that every thought and every action automatically become great, that is, most elevated. In today’s world, souls who have a temporary position stay in the intoxication of that day and night by maintaining the awareness of their position . In fact, it is easy and natural to keep in your awareness the position you have received from the Father. As is your position , so are your actions; as is your name, so your actions are elevated. Therefore, at present, you would be called easy yogis and also karma yogis. A karma yogi means all souls would have a vision of your love and relationship with the Father through your every action. When you look at a soul who is in love with worldly souls you can see that that soul is lost in love from that one’s face and sparkle. Similarly, ask yourself: Does your every action give the experience of being a loving soul to the Father? This is known as being a karma yogi. The definition of a karma yogi or an easy Raj Yogi is very deep. Every thought of a karma yogi or an easy Raj yogi soul would spread vibrations of the Father’s love. Just as non-living images are even today carrying out the task of giving souls vibrations of peace and temporary happiness, so, definitely, in the living form, you must have carried out the task of spreading the vibrations of constant happiness and peace and the Father’s love into the world through your thoughts, words and deeds. This is why there is peace in the non-living images. When instruments of science are able to create vibrations and an atmosphere of heat or cold, then you master almighty authorities with your silence , that is, with the power of your remembrance and your stage of love can create whatever atmosphere or vibrations you want. Practise this. You can create an atmosphere of happiness, peace or form of power even right now. Whatever atmosphere souls are in, they should experience that they have come here into an atmosphere of happiness from an atmosphere of sorrow. They should realise that they are attaining a lot of happiness here. Just as you experience heat or cold in an air-conditioned room, that you have truly come into a place of cool air from a place of heat, or you have come to a warm place from a cool place, so too, from your face and behaviour and from the power of your thoughts, they should experience happiness, peace and power, just as you experience coming into light from darkness in a second , do you not. People of today will not be able to experience this with their power, but all of you will have to make them experienced on the basis of your attainments and your remembrance. This is the real definition of easy Raj yoga and karma yoga. To experience peace and power for your own self is not a big deal, but now, through your power of remembrance, create an atmosphere in the world with these vibrations and you will then be said to be numberwise easy Raj yogis. Do not make just yourself content. Remain content and make everyone else content. This is the task of a yogi. Achcha.

You have received the facility from the Father with which to remain constantly happy, have you not? No matter what the situation is like, when you have the facilities, you can remain constantly happy. The facility to simply remember the Father is very big. Happiness is received as soon as you say “Baba”. Continue to constantly use this facility. To remember the word “Baba” means to switch on . Just as darkness is dispelled the second you put on the switch, similarly, to say “Baba” means sorrow, peacelessness, confusion, sadness, tension all finish in a second . The Father has given you such a mantra. It is a mantra of one word – just “Baba”. No matter what period or situation you are passing through, this mantra will enable you to overcome that in a second . Simply use this mantra in the right way at the right time. This mantra of one word performs wonderful magic. With this mantra of one word you can take whatever you want. Whether it is happiness, peace, power or bliss, this mantra will enable you to attain whatever you want and this is why it is called a magic mantra. The Father always has this desire for the children: Become unlimited servers the same as the Father. All of those are limited responsibilities, but the Father’s responsibilities are unlimited. So, He has to give unlimited power to it. You definitely have to fulfil this pure desire of the Father. Now become Raj yogis. Raj yogis will become the princes. So, the first stage is of a Raj yogi. It is not difficult to become a Raj yogi. It is difficult to become a yogi who leaves his home and family.

13. At this time, two tasks are being carried out simultaneously. On one side you are settling your past accounts and on the other side you are accumulating for the future and the present. Now is the time to accumulate a hundred thousandfold for one, so pay attention so that you accumulate at every moment. Even at a time of settling you can accumulate because the method to settle is remembrance. By having remembrance you can accumulate and also settle the past. It should not be that your time passes by in just settling everything. If you are settling everything as a trustee , you are then also accumulating. By doing everything with the right method, together with settling, you will also be accumulating. Achcha.

14. You are spinners of the discus of self-realisation, are you not? A spinner of the discus of self-realisation becomes one with the canopy in the future. If you are not a spinner of the discus of self-realisation now, you cannot become one under the canopy either. The discus of self-realisation finishes many wasteful cycles. No other cycle can remain in front of the discus of self-realisation. They will finish in a second . So, do you always keep your ornaments with you or do you become tired? To adopt the discus of self-realisation means to remain light. It is not difficult to always adopt something that is light. To be a spinner of the discus of self-realisation means to be light. So, let this discus constantly spin. Do not let go of it because you have the experience of attainment, do you not?

15. To the extent that you quench the thirst of thirsty souls, accordingly, you remain a contented soul yourself. To give happiness to others means to remain happy yourself. Just as by you donating, your wealth increases, similarly, to give happiness, peace and power to others is not giving but filling yourself. When have deep love for serving, then, even while sleeping, you will be serving in your dreams. In your dreams too, you will be have very good plans , as though you had a touching through yoga. You receive the return of your deep love in your dreams. This is known as being absorbed in love. For you children, the world of Brahmins is your world and the rest of the world is tasteless. While seeing it, you do not see it and while living in it, you are not in it. Therefore, what would a server dream of? The Father and service for there is nothing else. Achcha.

16. Make Maya unconscious with just one word and what is that one word? “Baba”. When Baba is there, Maya cannot be there. If you say “Baba” from your heart with that love and relationship, Maya will run away. No matter how great a bandit someone may be, when he is caught, that great bandit then becomes like a goat. So, to say the word “Baba” means that the bandit is caught. A second ago, Maya was the form of a lion and she became a goat in a second . So, constantly keep this method with you. When you forget Baba, you forget everything. The method is easy – you simply need to know the way to use it again and again. For transformation to take place in a second is known as knowing the method to use it. Always remember “My Baba”. When you say “My Baba” Maya runs away.

17. The way to have the stage of a constantly easy yogi is to know the importance of amrit vela. Amrit vela is the beginning of the day. Those who create a powerful stage at amrit vela, that is, at the beginning of the day, will receive help throughout the day. Their lives will be great for the whole day because when you have taken special power from the Father at amrit vela, it will not be difficult to move along as an embodiment of power. No matter what type of task comes in front of you, you will not experience it to be difficult, but it will become easy on the basis of the powers you have attained. In this way, your stage of being an easy yogi will be maintained. To miss amrit vela means to finish the special attainment of the confluence age. By living your life according to the Godly codes of conduct you will become an example in front of the world. The people of the world will create their lives on seeing your life. Therefore, stay within the line of the code of conduct and Maya cannot come. No matter what happens, your zeal and enthusiasm should be new at every second . You yourself are the basis of your zeal and enthusiasm and no one can stop you. Let there be a constantly ascending stage. It is the duty of weak ones to stop. Achcha.
