"Giving the Return of BapDada’s Service."

Today, on the day of remembrance, that is, on the day of power, all the children are remembering Baba in different forms according to their love for Baba. The remembrance of all forms of the loving, co-operative, powerful souls and those in contact everywhere reached BapDada in the subtle region. As is the remembrance of each child, so is the return that each one instantly receives from BapDada. In whatever form of the Father the children remember Him, BapDada reveals Himself to the children in that form. Those who are yogi children find the right method of yoga. Some children, instead of being yogi children, become viyogi (separated from the Father) and, because of this, instead of a meeting, they experience a separation. A yogi soul is always seated on BapDada’s heart-throne; such a soul is never far away. Because of their separation, viyogi children try to bring BapDada in front of them. They forget the present and remember the past and, because of this, sometimes BapDada is visible to them and, sometimes, they find that He is hidden behind a curtain. However, BapDada is constantly in front of the children; He can never be hidden from the children. The Father is for the children. For as long as children are playing their parts in the task of establishment, BapDada is with them at every second in their every thought. The Father’s promise is that we will return home together. When? When the task is accomplished. So, why do you want to send the Father away before then? Why do you make an imperishable relationship perishable by saying that Baba has gone? It is just that his part has changed. Just as you change your service places, so Brahma Baba too has just changed his place of service. His form and his service are the same. The role of Brahma’s form with a thousand arms is being enacted at this time and this is why there is the praise and memorial of this form in the corporeal world. The arms cannot perform any task without the father. The arms are revealing the Father. All of you are doing this because He is inspiring you to do it. Just as arms cannot do anything without the soul, in the same way, what can BapDada, the soul of the combined form, do without the arms that are the children? In every task, till the last moment, the first share of the work was Father Brahma’s. Brahma means Adi Dev. Adi Dev means the one who starts every auspicious task. How could any task be successful unless BapDada starts that task? There is first of all the Father’s co-operation in every task. You experience this and you also speak of it, but you sometimes then forget it. What do you become whilst moving along in the waves of love of the Ocean of Love? You have to play in the waves and not become influenced by the waves. Sing praise of them, but do not become unconscious. The Father sees that, although some children are His companions, they still draw a curtain of separation, and they then waste time in looking for Baba. Children even hide the Lord who is ever present! If you like the game of hide-and-seek, then play this game as a game, but do not become an embodiment of it. Baba is not telling you all of this just for entertainment. In order to make the speed of service even faster, Baba has just changed his place. Therefore, you children should also remain busy in making service happen extremely fast, the same as the father. This is the return of love. The Father knows that the children have deep love for the father. However, the father has just as much love for service as he has for the children. The practical form of loving the father is to have love for service. Just as you say, “Baba, Baba”, at every moment, so too, only when there is the Father and service at every moment will the task of service be completed and we will return home together. BapDada is at present seeing each child in the form of a light -and- might - house . The mikes have become powerful , but all three - light, might and mikes - have to be powerful at the same time. You find it easy to come into sound. Now, create such a powerful stage that, through your own might, you are able to give all souls the light of peace, happiness and purity. In the physical world, whatever coloured lamp you light , everything surrounding it appears in that same colour. If you light a green lamp, everything surrounding it looks green. One stationary light can also change the atmosphere. When you use a red light for yoga, the atmosphere automatically becomes that of remembrance. Since physical lights are able to change the surroundings, can you lighthouses , who have the light of purity and happiness, not create the atmosphere? Physical light can be seen with the physical eyes whereas spiritual light can only be experienced. The service of changing the atmosphere through spiritual light now has to be carried out. Did you hear what form service has to take now? Both types of service should take place at the same time. When you have the mike and the might , you will become embodiments of success.

BapDada meeting groups:

1. The unlimited Father too has to do everything through the allocation of numbers . Otherwise, there is no limit to the meeting between the Father and the children throughout day and night. All these limitations exist in your world. There, all are close to the Father; how much space would a dot take? Here, a body needs space, but you are automatically close there. Here, all souls would think about wanting to come close. The closer you are to the Father’s virtues and stage, the closer you will be to the Father in the home and the father in the kingdom. Your stage will bring you close to that place. The wonder is that you all consider yourselves to be close and to have an experience of closeness because the Father is unlimited. He is infinite and constant and this is why everyone can be close. To remain content and make others content - this is the slogan of the present moment. To be discontent means to lack attainment. To be content means to have attainment. Those who have all attainments can never be discontent.

2. Do you constantly consider yourselves to be Godly students ? The Godly student life is considered to be the best life of all. So, do you constantly experience the best and most elevated life? A student constantly laughs, plays, enjoys himself and studies and nothing blocks his intellect. Similarly, to study, teach, remain free from obstacles and do everything with the Father, to sit and eat with the Father, is the Godly student life . Whilst living at home, you have the Father’s company. No matter where your body is, your mind is engaged with the Father and service. There is praise of eating, drinking and doing everything with the Father. It is difficult to let go of something you love. It is not difficult to stay together and have yoga, but it is difficult to break that yoga. Those who experience this are called those who have a Godly student life . Those who find it difficult to let go or break away, who do not find it difficult to stay with the Father, have the best life . Constantly enjoy yourself with laughter and singing and continue to move along with the Father. You will not find such company throughout the whole cycle. Even at the confluence age, if you were to look for someone else like this, would you find anyone? You wouldn’t, would you? Did the Father find you or did you find the Father? You were also searching, but you took the wrong path. You were searching for the Father, but you found your brothers instead, and so you were not able to find the Father.

3. What is the easy way to experience constant progress in your efforts and service? The easy way to progress is to do everything starting with amrit vela according to the method. By your observing this, there will be progress in your life. Only when a task is carried out in the right way can it be accomplished successfully. To be a Brahmin means to have a life in which everything is according to the right method. If, due to any reason, there isn’t progress in your life or service, then you are definitely not using the right method. Check from amrit vela till night whether your thoughts, words, deeds and connections and relationships were accurate according to the right method; that is, whether there was progress. If not, then find the cause of that and resolve it. You will then not become disheartened. If your life is accurate according to the right methods, there will definitely be progress. Achcha
