"The closeness to your completion is the closeness of the time for world transformation."

Today, BapDada was seeing the alokik confluence-aged life of every child from the horoscope of their moment of birth until now. From the moment they took a divine birth, each child has made many promises to BapDada and to the self. BapDada was seeing what promises you made and to what percentage you have fulfilled them. Sometimes, there is a difference between making a promise and in fulfilling that promise. BapDada was seeing how much difference there is or whether they are both equal. This was the horoscope that Baba was seeing. Every year, each of you children personally makes a promise to the Father according to your capacity. So, what result did Baba see? At the time you make a promise, your thoughts are filled with zeal, enthusiasm and courage. For a short time afterwards, whilst putting your thoughts into practice, you remain an embodiment of success having good wishes and benevolent feelings whilst facing all the problems that come. However, after a while, as you move along, instead of paying full attention, you just pay attention, and so, every now and then, that attention changes into tension . The powerful thought that victory is your birthright gradually changes its form so that, instead of experiencing your birthright, you sometimes let words such as: “Give me my rights! Give me power!”, emerge in front of BapDada. The words “I have” change into “Give me!” Instead of being a bestower, a master bestower and a bestower of fortune, you become one who takes. Similarly, your stage of effort is sometimes one of intense effort, sometimes just effort and sometimes fluctuation between upheaval and stability. You continue to move along in this way and then come to a halt. What has been seen in the result up to now is that when you come to a side scene, you walk away from the path of your destination. Even now, you are still playing games. For how long will this continue?

BapDada now wishes to see you play a new game. So, now, in the New Year, play such a new game that every scene fulfils your aim of victory. The thought “I am victorious and I will remain victorious” should be actually visible in your every act. In your image of the previous cycle, everyone in the Shakti Army is waving a flag of victory. Even today, you elevated souls are still remembered and worshipped by the people of the world as the victorious jewels. You have had a lot of time to make effort, and each of you has been making effort, numberwise, according to your own capacity. What do you have to do now? You now have to become the practical form of effort – an embodiment of success – and be so successful in every task you carry out that you instantly enable all souls to claim a right to their visible fruit. You now also have to change your language. The clock of world transformation is moving fast; the closeness of your completion is the closeness of the time for world transformation. Therefore, now let the past be the past and settle your accounts of waste. Constantly accumulate in your savings account through your every thought. From this moment on, experience yourself for all time to have the crown, the tilak and the throne. To rub off your tilak means that you bring your consciousness down. Now, put an end to these things even in your dreams. Celebrate such a completion ceremony now! Be a true world server through your thoughts, words and deeds - day and night. Whilst remaining constantly engaged in this world service within the gathering, you will automatically experience your stage of ascent. You will constantly experience yourself to be a charitable soul who is attaining the fruit of your charity. According to the closeness of time, the fruit of every elevated act is constant contentment. You will attain this at the present time and also in the future. You will now experience the machinery of attainment to be moving at a fast speed. You will experience what it means to have one hundred thousand-fold return - of both wasteful and powerful acts. Only a short time still remains for you to accumulate one hundred thousand-fold. To accumulate this now means to create a reward for yourself for birth after birth. What do you especially have to do for this? Simply remember two things. Firstly, create every thought and perform every act whilst considering yourself to be a special soul. Secondly, constantly see the specialities in each and every soul. Constantly feel that each soul is a special soul. Together with this, have the feeling of making souls special and have good and benevolent wishes for them. Constantly pay attention to one thing: Never allow yourself to imbibe any defect or weakness that other souls are making effort to renounce. It is not a sign of Godly royalty to pick up something someone has thrown away. Even something beautiful that someone has thrown away would not be picked up by a royal soul. That is a defect, rubbish. Therefore, to imbibe it even in your thoughts, is a great sin. So, pay attention to this aspect. Keep your eyes constantly closed to the defects or weaknesses of others. Neither imbibe them nor speak of them. Since the devotees sing praise of your images; since they even praise each and every physical organ of yours, you too should sing praise of the living form of one another and speak of each one’s specialities. Exchange flowers of love and co-operation with one another. In every task, extend your hand of “Ha ji” (yes indeed) or “You first”. Light an incense stick of a spiritual attitude and spiritual vibrations in front of every special soul. Constantly offer whosoever comes in front of you a variety of bhog, a gift, from your treasures. When you put this spiritual system into practice now, it will then continue later on the path of devotion later. Do you understand what you have to do this year? Today, Baba told you things for self-transformation. Later, Baba will tell you what you need to do on the field of service. Achcha.

To the perfect idols who have the original sanskars of royalty, to the souls who constantly have the tilak, the crown and the throne, to the souls who constantly eat the instant fruit of every act, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting groups:

1. Become an embodiment of success by remaining aware of the magic mantra.

Do you constantly remember the magic mantra? What is the magic mantra? Remembrance of the Father is the magic mantra. Through this mantra, you can attain whatever success you want. Devotees chant a mantra for anything physical they want to attain. Similarly, here too, if you want to attain success, then this great mantra is itself the way. This mantra is so magical that you can perform this magic, that is, you can transform anything within a second . So, do you constantly remember this magic mantra or do you sometimes forget it? When you constantly remain aware of this, you will constantly succeed. If there is this awareness only sometimes, then success too would only be sometimes, not all the time. So, this is the year to underline the word “constantly”. To have remembrance is not a big thing; the great thing is to be in constant remembrance. It is now the time to do this constantly. Add the word “constantly” and you will constantly be an embodiment of success.

2. The way to protect yourself against any attack of Maya is to be detached from the world and loving to the Father.

Do all of you consider yourselves to have love for the Father and to be detached from the world? Those who love the Father become detached from the world. To the extent that you are detached, accordingly, you will have love for Him. If you are not detached, you cannot be loving. Those who are absorbed and lost in love for the Father cannot be attracted by Maya. Not a single drop of water can penetrate anything waterproof . Similarly, anyone who is absorbed in deep love for Baba becomes so “ Mayaproof” that Maya cannot attack them in any way. You have experienced how Baba’s love is imperishable and selfless, and you have also experienced temporary love. Compared to Baba’s love, that temporary love is nothing. Do you have the stage where there is just Baba and you and no one else? When a third person comes between you and the Father, it means that you have been separated from the Father. When no third person can come between you and the Father, you cannot be separated from the Father. Those who constantly remain merged in remembrance of the Father are constantly successful.
