"The holy swans and the mansarovar (lake) of amrit vela."

Today, Baba is seeing a gathering of holy and spiritual swans everywhere. All holy swans constantly imbibe and inspire others to imbibe the jewels of knowledge. Just as the food of those (physical) swans are the invaluable pearls, similarly, the food for the intellects of you holy swans are the jewels of knowledge. You imbibe the jewels of knowledge at amrit vela, through your heart to heart conversations and spiritual meetings with BapDada. You also imbibe all the powers. In the same way, through your power of churning, you use the jewels and powers that you have imbibed for your practical lives and you inspire others to do the same.

At amrit vela, the power of celebrating a meeting, the power to imbibe (to adopt) and the power to catch the daily special inspirations of pure thought from the Father are extremely essential. At amrit vela, through the power to imbibe, each of you becomes an embodiment of dharna. At amrit vela, two special images are needed. One is to be an embodiment of dharna and the other is to be an embodiment of experience. Especially at amrit vela, BapDada is the Bestower for the children and, in order to celebrate a meeting, He adopts the form of love in all relationships and also the form of the Innocent Lord of all Treasures who fills the aprons of the children with all treasures. At that time, you can do whatever you want with the Father. If you want to persuade Him, cajole Him, fulfil a relationship with Him or experience an easy method, you can easily attain all of these things and the success of them. You can easily attain the treasures of attainments and also the Bestower who bestows everything. The mines of all the virtues and powers are open for the children. One second’s experience at amrit vela is the basis of experiencing the form of all attainments throughout the day and night. BapDada is free at that time for each and every child; to talk to every one to their heart’s content, to listen to their complaints, to finish their weaknesses, to forgive all the many types of sins they may have committed and to give them that love. That time is not official . He is in the form of the Innocent Lord of Treasures. When you have such a golden chance , some of you children take that chance whereas others simply watch those who take the chance . Why? They have the desire, but do you know why an obstruction comes in between?

In fact, Maya is also very clever. She comes especially at that time to separate you from the Father. She cajoles you with her games of excuses. Just as a gambler would attract people through his dealings, in the same way, Maya also cajoles you with many types of excuses of carelessness, laziness and waste thoughts. Then, you lose your golden chance . Moreover, because of losing such a precious time; because of depriving yourself of easy attainment, your foundation for the whole day becomes weak. No matter how much effort you make throughout the whole day, because the beginning of the day, that is, the time of laying the foundation was weak, you have to labour more and therefore receive less attainment. Because of receiving less attainment, you experience two types of stage. Firstly, whilst moving along, you experience tiredness, and secondly, you become disheartened. What do you then think? “I don’t know when I will reach my destination. Is the time far or close? When will revelation take place so that we can go to the golden-aged world? How much longer will I have these bondages of this household?” You put aside the attainment of the present time and start looking to the future.

Constantly keep a list of the present attainments in front of you and then the question: “When will this happen?” will change into: “It is happening now”. Instead of being disheartened, your hearts will become happy. Do not step away from the present time. Recognise the game of excuses of Maya. Maya makes you happy by giving you excuses. Therefore, you are not able to cajole the Father, that is, you are not able to adopt the easy methods. Instead of attaining something in the form of a blessing, you start to make effort to attain something. Therefore, recognize the time of amrit vela for easy attainment and take the benefit from it. Fill your aprons with this reward from the open treasure-store. At amrit vela, the Bestower of Fortune and the Bestower of Blessings is ready to draw your line of fortune to whatever extent you want. You can easily have your line of elevated fortune drawn by Him. At that time, although He is God, the Innocent Lord, He is love-full, and so, on the basis of that love , you can have that elevated line drawn by Him. Whatever you want and for however many births you want, whether you want to come into the rosary of eight jewels or the rosary of one hundred and eight, BapDada has made an open offer to you. What else do you want?

Become a master and claim your rights. There is no lock or key on any of the treasures. The key doesn’t require any effort. Otherwise, throughout the day, you have to use the key of effort. At that time, simply have the one thought: Whatever I am, however I am, I belong to You. Overcome the games of Maya and come and sit next to Baba. The games of Maya are side scenes . You mustn’t come to a standstill on seeing them. Simply come and sit next to Baba. Surrender your thoughts and intellect, that is, your mind and intellect to the Father. Do you not know how to do this? Why should it be difficult to give back to the Father what He has given you? Sometimes you say: “It is Yours” and, at other times, you say: “It is mine”. You get caught up in the spinning of “mine” and “Yours”. As soon as it is amrit vela and you open your eyes, just take a jump and sit next to the Father in a second . Because of this company, you will experience the Father’s treasures to be your own treasures; not on the basis of knowledge , but on the basis of attainment. Whilst remaining seated on the throne of all rights, you will experience yourself to be one who has all rights. So, the Father, as God, the Friend, is offering you the throne of all rights. Wake up and sit on the throne. Even by sitting for just a short time on the throne of all rights, you can become whatever you want. Are limited kings not able to claim a kingdom on the basis of having a right to the throne for just a short time? Now, at this golden time, those who are seated on the unlimited throne are easily able to create their golden-aged stage and also claim an elevated status in the future golden-aged world. Do you understand the time for making easy effort and the easy method for that? So, why do you put aside that which is easy and try to do something difficult? Now, will you become an easy effort-maker or a difficult effort-maker? Since you found the Father easily, how can that path be difficult to follow? Become an easy effort-maker. Finish all name and trace of anything difficult and you will be able to finish the difficulties of the world.

To those who have all rights and who remain seated on the throne and pass in the games of Maya, to those who constantly understand the Father’s secrets, to those who transform effort into love, to those who keep their hearts happy instead of becoming disheartened, to those who make the world happy with their happy hearts, to those who constantly stay with the Father, to the most elevated souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

1. The easy way to serve through your mind is to have unbroken faith.

Those who are constantly victorious by keeping faith in their intellects are able, on the basis of that faith, to continue to purify the atmosphere. They serve through their minds because, when souls from everywhere see a soul who has faith in the intellect, they feel that that one has received something. No matter how arrogant those others may be, even if they do not listen to this knowledge, internally, they definitely understand that that one’s life is worth something. This service continues amongst those who have had unbroken faith from the beginning. This is truly service through the mind.

2. The way to remain safe from Maya is to keep the guard of attention awake.

Are all of you constantly moving along as spinners of the discus of self-realisation? Do you constantly remember that you are a spinner of the discus of self-realisation? Those who are constantly spinning the discus of self-realisation are constantly free from any spinning of Maya. The one discus of self-realisation finishes all wasteful spinning. It chases Maya away. Maya cannot stay in front of those who spin the discus of self-realisation. Because of being constantly full, the spinners of the discus of self-realisation are constantly unshakeable. Are you able to remain constantly complete and full? Maya tries to empty you, but when you are constantly cautious, awake and an ignited light, Maya cannot do anything. If the guard of attention is constantly alert, you will remain constantly safe . You have in the past been constantly ignited lights, and so people still keep your memorials of the lights constantly lit in the temples. They don’t allow the lamps to go out. When did the fashion of having a constantly ignited light start? At the confluence age, all of you became constantly ignited lights in the living form, and this memorial has therefore continued. If the lamp goes out, they consider that to be bad. So, what are all of you in your living forms? Constantly ignited lamps. Anything that is even slightly damaged cannot be worthy of worship.
