31 December 1979 - English Avyakt Murli

Today, BapDada is watching both the present and the future forms of children. He sees them both in the form of present World Benefactors and future World Rulers. Just as you are World Benefactors now, so, in future, you will also be World Rulers. In order to achieve both these rights, special attention for Self-Transformation is required.

The first transformation from the moment you open your eyes should be .... "I am a soul and not this body." This is the first thought of the first second when you awaken. The routine for the whole day is based on this very first thought. If there is no transformation in the first thought then throughout the day you will not be successful in becoming the authority over the self or in the work of being World Benefactors. The power of transformation should be practised from the beginning of the day. It is at the beginning of the World Cycle that the Divine souls descend from the Brahm element in order to come and play their roles and, similarly, it is at the beginning that there is the hour of nectar each day. So, when you awake at this time, the first thought at this period of "the beginning" should be ..... "I, the Brahmin soul, have come to meet BapDada." This very powerful thought will be the basis for elevated thoughts; words and actions.

So, the first transformation is of the body, and then of the relationships of the body. Then with relationships there is the basis of all achievements .... relationship with the Father. This transformation is called easy remembrance or easy yoga. At the beginning, on the basis of transformation you can become the Authority, the Ruler.

Constant Easy Yogis? Always have this thought that I am a Living, Most Elevated Image, and this body is my Temple, the Living Temple of I, the Living Image. Now I am adorning my Temple. In this Temple resides the Most Beloved Idol of BapDada. Here BapDada himself is chanting the rosary of the praises of this Idol. This is such a special Temple of such a special Idol.

So what transformation is needed? .... "The body is not mine but the Temple for the valuable Idol. I am the Living Image of this Temple and I am also the Trustee of this Temple. The transformation of body-consciousness, of "myness", is based on this powerful transformation. The Godly student should always remain in this consciousness.

That each invaluable jewel should be imbibed in every thought: at every second, so as to make the present and future fortune elevated. The special thought to bring about transformation should be .... "I am not an ordinary student and this study is not ordinary study. The Father comes daily from the far-off realms especially to teach me. My study is the Versions of God. The Supreme Directions of the Supreme Father are my study and each word of this study renders an income worth millions, If even one word is missed then you have not simply missed a word, but you have lost innumerable treasures, which also means that the status or achievements of many lives in the future and the achievements of the future highest status will be less. The thought to bring about transformation should be . . . . .. "God is speaking to me and I am listening. God, the Father, has come to teach me. I am a Specially Near and Dear Student and this is why He has come for me. From where has He come? Who has come? What is He teaching? These are the highest thoughts to bring about transformation. During class you must imbibe this thought and become the embodiment of that thought and study. You are not attending an ordinary class. Don't look at the one who is reading the Versions but at the One whose Versions are being spoken. Bring that One in front of you. See the Incorporeal Father and the Subtle Father.

In relationship with the lokik family, continue to serve them and emerge the thought that "I have died alive, so all my karmic bondages are over." Don't even consider them karmic bondages because by speaking about karma, they become karmic bondages, Instead of the relationship of karmic bondages, have Relationship. On the basis of the Supreme Directions and having died alive, there is the Relationship of Service. Where service is concerned, if you retain the knowledge that souls are of various types and the thought that "I am serving them" then you won't become frustrated by this bondage of relatives. "I should not have hatred or disrespect for these souls, or the thoughts that these are extremely dirty, vicious souls." Have the thought that, "I will serve them because I am Sitting on the seat of Merciful World Benefactor."

Keep the feeling of mercy for such souls and the consciousness that you are serving them. If you continue to serve such hopeless cases then you will claim the right to receive the prize. World Benefactors are widely praised. You will win the prize of Peace-Maker.

So, in the family you will experience Relationship instead of karmic bondages. But beware, don't become attached whilst serving. It sometimes happens that doctors become attached whilst serving their patients. The relationship of service is Detachment, the Embodiment of Renunciation and Deep Meditation. These are the real qualities of the True Server.

In the same way, whilst in business, the aim should be to sustain the soul, not just to sustain the body. Don't forget to nourish the soul whilst earning your income for the body. There should be the balance of sustaining body and soul. Otherwise, dealings with people will be transformed into the web of Maya. If you get entangled in this web then you will become more and more trapped. Don't forget to nourish the soul through remembrance whilst taking care of the body. Whilst nourishing the body, give food to the soul. Both should go together. The lokik physical work should be converted into the stage of Karma Yogi. You are not simply performing actions, but actions in the stage of Karma Yogi. Actions mean dealings. Yoga means benevolence to others, spiritual actions. Dealings, or business, and actions of benevolence to others should go side by side. Those who do this are called Karma Yogis, those doing action for the Supreme Father, and following the Supreme Directions, whilst at the same time having dealings with others.

So what transformation is needed? "I am having dealings with others for the sake of God, for the service of God. They are not simply dealings, but dealings combined with acts of benevolence." If there is this thought then the consciousness will be transformed and mind and body will both be earning, and the result will be a double income, the income of wealth, and the imperishable income of the mind.

Similarly, on the field of Godly service, always remember the mantra, "I am the instrument soul, and Baba is working through me." Have the consciousness also that, "I am acting upon Supreme Directions. I am doing, but the One who is giving the instructions should not be forgotten." If this is so, then there will always be the experience in service of remaining in the Stage of Humility whilst engaged in the work of establishment.

Never let there be any attraction to the scenes of this old world, or to the means of limited happiness. Whilst seeing the different scenes and using the different means, sometimes your meditation lapses and you are attracted by them. You become influenced by these comforts. Making efforts on the basis of these short-lived forms of happiness should be considered the same as building on a foundation of sand. What will be the result? There will be great confusion and the house will shake violently. There will be the realisation amidst great fear that this house is going to fall. So, bring about transformation with the following thought: "All these means of comfort are perishable whilst my meditation is imperishable. Imperishable meditation cannot be founded upon perishable means. These means are only of a temporary nature."

Meditation is the main basis for establishment, so give importance to meditation and not to these physical means. Always remember yourself as the Embodiment of Success and not simply of physical means and comforts. Meditation will lead you to your perfect achievement. So, now forget these attractive means if you wish to gain success. On seeing each physical object, or hearing worldly things, or watching physical scenes, convert them into alokik, spiritual things. This means to be the Embodiment of Knowledge. Take knowledge from everything, but don't just become involved at the level of words or the surface level of things, but go into the depth of-knowledge.

Achcha, what else remains? Sleep. Sleep means to sleep in the world of gold. Convert sleep as well. Don't sleep on a bed, but where? . . . . .. Sleep instead in remembrance in the lap of God, the Father. Whilst in sleep, go to the World of Angels in your dreams. In this way, transform your sleep and dreams also.

Everyone says "Happy New Year", but BapDada wishes to see something new in the New Year. BapDada says "Thanks" in advance. In the New Year, be the ever-fast-effort-maker, with new sanskars, new nature, new enthusiasm and new spirit. Have the thought to make this world new again. Always have the highest thought to give blessings of Mukti and Jeewanmukti to all souls.

Achcha, to those who, through the Power of Transformation, in every action, in every second. bring about Self-Transformation and World-Transformation, who make everything new and golden in each thought, in each word and each action, who make everything the highest, who, in the New Year, show miracles in themselves and in the world, who consider things formerly impossible as now possible for the self and the world to such eternal Embodiments of Success, the highest, elevated souls. . . . . .. to such Living Images, BapDada’s love and remembrance, and good morning from the Mother and the Father, namaste.
