"Speciality of the residents of Madhuban."

Today there is a special meeting in particular with the fortunate souls who are the Residents of Madhuban. Even today, devotees are still singing the praises of Madhuban niwasis. Brahmins also sing the praise of the Madhuban niwasis. As there is praise for the Land of Madhuban, so the praise for those who live on that Land is automatically very great. Madhuban Residents, according to Drama, have received a special chance in all aspects because this is the Land of BapDada’s Divine Activity, the Land of Action.

This place exerts an influence on the consciousness and so Madhuban Residents have a special chance to achieve great elevation in their stage of self-consciousness and to make intense efforts as a result of being in this place. Madhuban is the main centre to make the mind powerful so that there can be service for World Benefit through the state of mind, together with service through thoughts, words and actions. For those who are guests in Madhuban there is also a special chance to carry out the service of creating a subtle spiritual atmosphere. By seeing the souls of Madhuban, other souls very easily learn to follow.

Just as Madhuban is unlimited so, too, the residents of Madhuban have the chance of doing unlimited service. Each soul receives its own fruit accurately, according to the account created by every single action performed. But, in addition, Madhuban niwasis, who are doing the service of offering such hospitality to visiting souls, receive a share of the contentment that is experienced by all of those souls as a result. The speciality is that even as you sit at home you accumulate a share of the service that is going on. And so the Residents of Madhuban receive immediate fruit. This is their speciality, while, of course, future reward is also being created.

The Residents of Madhuban also receive another special lift - they receive sustenance from BapDada, but they also receive sustenance from the elevated souls who are the present instruments in the corporeal form. So there is the lift of Double Sustenance. In ' addition, material aids arrive here already prepared outside.

Do you recognise your own elevated fortune in being such Elevated Fortunate Souls who become instruments for service with this consciousness? In the field of physical service through actions, a Certificate has been given for being Tireless Servers. But can a Certificate for being Intense Effort-Makers and Constant Natural Yogis also be given?

When both Certificates are received then it can be said that the end of the Sacrificial Fire is very near.

Everyone has made very good effort. BapDada congratulates the children who have served day and night in this task, using their mind, body and the treasure of all the powers. Those who have renunciation automatically receive the fortune of natural happiness and also there is an experience of the form of lightness. This attainment is immediate. From these signs, each one can check their own result . . . . . . . "To what extent and for how long was there the consciousness of renunciation and selfless-service, and the consciousness of being an instrument? Were there any other feelings mixed into this at any time?"

Having checked this bring about change in future. This will be the special effort for upliftment.

Secondly, let each one constantly and naturally imbibe one special virtue as an intrinsic quality of the self. When it becomes intrinsic then there is no need for effort but, rather, it becomes a natural part of life.

Let the special quality be that of neither absorbing each other's weaknesses nor mentioning them. When these are spoken of then that atmosphere spreads. Even if someone does speak of them let the other step away with feelings of goodwill. It is not enough that "Another has said something and not me." Still it was 'I' who listened! An account is created for both the one who has spoken and the one who listened. There is a difference in degree but still an account has been created.

There should be no wasteful thinking nor any matter of weakness continuing. Become merciful and merge things that have passed. By merging and having good wishes and goodwill you can carry out service through the mind for another. When you have good wishes and goodwill even for the five elements remember that these at least are the cooperative Brahmin souls! Even if something wrong has been said or done by another under' the influence of some sanskar, nevertheless, let yourself be the one who transforms. Don't allow a rosary of light to spread from one to another of such wasteful things.

Just imbibe one quality - "I must not speak, I must not listen but, rather, must merge." Be cooperative and, through mind and speech, enable others to move forward. What happens is that each has one particular friend to whom wasteful matters are disclosed. But then these are passed from that one to a second friend and then to a third so that the rosary-of-wasteful-things takes on very large form and spreads all around. So pay attention to such things.

Achcha. The unity of the Pandavs of Madhuban is also a speciality. The whole season has passed free from obstacles and so you have now become Bestowers of Blessings of the stage of being free-from-all-obstacles. All have passed in the subject of Success-in-Service. In fact it hasn't been service that has been done but rather there has been the experience of eating nourishing food. To have earned the right to blessings from the entire Brahmin family means to have eaten nourishing food - or has this been "doing. Service”?

What is the special service that must be done this year?

.

Definitely have the aim that wherever the message is given, or a place created, first there should be souls from that place who can become responsible instruments so that they can carry on the task to some extent at least. Whether you arrange yoga-camps or hold exhibitions, stay behind for a short while afterwards with the aim of creating individuals locally who can become instruments. Continue to open .sub-centres in this way and there will be fewer hands needed yet service will still spread: If even two or three were then to continue touring sub-centres in this way then the task would progress well. Until each principal instrument is looking after ten or twelve sub-centres together with their service companions in this way, service cannot expand greatly. So become the All-Round Servers and prepare hands that can look after things. Service cannot expand because there is a shortage of hands, so let Householders become instruments there and then at a particular time let the teacher go on tour. There are some very good elderly Householders who cannot serve in a fully-surrendered way but whom can cooperate from time to time in this form of service. Let the responsibility be on the Householders, and then even very good kumars can also go to conduct classes there. They can also be given such a chance. Prepare such a map and show it to Baba. At the moment this is only happening in Gujarat, but let the Madhuban Residents do this in Rajasthan. By seeing your example those from other zones will also do the same. Local hands and local people should become the instruments responsible for service. Expansion is taking place abroad in this way, and so this year open many sub-centres. Let there be a group who can go and give the message in nearby places. Go for a trial and increase service. If at a particular place no one emerges, then move on. There are many places that still remain to be served. When you go, don't first consider that "There should be a good centre, it should have many rooms." First, just simply begin in someone's home, and then, when ten or twelve are ready, they will increase service themselves. In this way give the message everywhere and discern whether something will emerge from a particular ground or not, and then move on. From one place' you will automatically receive invitations for many other places around. In this way create plans for service in which there is less expense and more success. Have the aim of giving the message all around and then finally let there be a major programme. Throughout the year, let there be smaller programmes. Let every centre cover the area all around it so that there is expansion in service and everyone remains busy. The result of small programmes will bring greater fruit at the major programme.

In Delhi, let there be a programme with a gathering of the entire Brahmin family, a programme by which the Flag of Glory can be raised for the name of this elevated institute and its elevated task, something by which everyone's intellect is touched - "The praise of the shakti army is the highest. These are the mothers for whom it is said - 'Salutations to the Mothers.' "

With the passing of the founder of all other institutes, there is confusion and quarrels and so now seeing that this is an Institute run by mothers in particular, everyone's vision has already been drawn. Then seeing such a huge gathering and the vibration of spirituality within that their eyes will open - "Even after the corporeal instrument 'has gone yet the kanyas and mothers have become the instruments and are carrying out such an elevated task!" The name of "Shakti Avtar" - the Incarnation of Shakti - will be glorified. For this you will have to arrange huge programmes.

To arrange a huge programme means to enter the sphere of the Government. For this purpose set aside time and money from the activity of your household and accumulate it in particular for this special service. From the very beginning BapDada used to say that for the sake of special service or a special task for which a sacrificial fire has been created, "If even out of the four chapattis that your stomach needs, one is set aside and used for service, then in return for that one multi-millions are accumulated."

In order to spread the name' there will have to be expense for publicity. All Brahmin souls, the most elevated ones, are saligrams. How many saligrams are there? . . . . . .. More than 60,000! When they create the huge Sacrificial Fire of Rudra then they create hundreds of thousands of saligrams. Why do they worship so many hundreds of thousands? Because all the saligrams had been the instruments in the service of the Yagya as a total gathering. This is why the total gathering is' worshipped. And so, from time to time, it is necessary to create this special Sacrificial Fire also - that by which the word can spread easily. One thing is to increase the curiosity of others and the other is to use a method by which the word can spread. Both methods are essential and in this way the complaints of everyone will finish. In the beginning people used to say to you "Why are you not ready to step onto the open field?" But now you are on the field and there have been huge programmes all around and so the sound of complaints has stopped. But continue to have special programmes from time to time. In particular bring special souls from the different professions into contact. In order to give them the message arrange special programmes as far as possible so that the people of that profession can be given the message. No profession should remain who can complain that "You people never called us." Before your major programme, serve professional groups all around. This should happen particularly in Delhi. Before the event increase connection so that there is a relationship of friendship. They will not come as regular students but they can come close and become extremely cooperative in the relationship of friends.

So, do you understand what must be done this year? In particular, serve the different professions and, secondly, continue to open as many sub-centres as possible. Then at the end, to glorify the name, let there be a gathering of all the saligrams for the special Sacrificial Fire of Service. When there is the sacrifice of cooperation in service from all around then this huge Sacrificial Fire can be successful as well. Every zone, every service centre, should consider that "Our sacrifice of cooperation must definitely be put into that huge yagya with that total gathering," Only then can there be cries of victory.

Each Brahmin must first definitely make the sacrifice and lay the foundation stone through service by mind, body and wealth in the capital of the Kingdom before they can claim the right to the Kingdom. Each one has a right to the capital, this is why the sacrifice of everyone's cooperation is essential. Even if nothing else can be done, even then sitting afar yet still definitely sacrifice your most elevated hopes and enthusiasm as the sacrifice in this yagya; then there will be the cries of victory. Wherever there is such a special task, the sacrifice of each Brahmin's hopes and enthusiasm should definitely be given. There should be a share of good wishes and desires for the benefit of all souls from every Brahmin. On the path of bhakti, whenever there is an elevated task or a special yagya, they definitely set aside a share for all Brahmins and they will make that sacrifice in the names of all Brahmins. This custom and system has also begun here.

Do you understand? ..... Bring-them into contact, bring them to' Madhuban and then bring them to the subject of service. You bring them here to Madhuban for yoga training, do you not? And so first bring them into contact and then bring them to Madhuban for yoga training and then they can become, cooperative in the special Sacrificial Fire. Now it will be seen to what extent each one is cooperative.

Achcha The questions of the Madhuban Residents have finished, have they not? . . . . . . .. The full-stage and the full-stop. If the soul is full in all matters then it will automatically put a full stop. If there is weakness in any subject, then there are questions. To have a heart-to-heart conversation is one thing, but questions are another matter.

The Double Foreigners, all those that have come from Bharat, are most fortunate. This chance of meeting and having such a heart-to-heart conversation will suddenly finish without any warning. Was there an announcement made that the corporeal role of Baba was going to end? And so now also it cannot be known when the end will come. When this ends, then the final Ending will also come. Circumstances will be such that you will not be able to organise a programme. It will happen suddenly, so do whatever you wish to do now. Take the chance of service, create as many subjects as you choose. After the subjects, the Rosary of Devotees will begin and the part of creating subjects will have finished. The period for creating heirs is no longer possible now. That season has ended. Now out of those who come, the great majority are not of the quality' of heirs. In the same way, amongst the subjects too, all are numberwise - wealthy subjects, ordinary subjects, then the maids and servants and the servants of the servants, and then the devotees. Now there is still a chance to create subjects and amongst them also a variety can be created. There will be such subjects who will be constantly cooperative in running the business of the Kingdom and who will be part of the Royal Court. The title will be subject but they will be equal to the Royal Family. They, may not belong' to the Royal Family but they will be so close in contact and relationship with the Royal Family. Now the present period is one in which, to a large extent, it will be a variety of subjects emerging and a few heirs. There is still an opportunity for heirs to emerge even though the season for the emergence of heirs has finished, but the board of too late hasn't yet been put up.

The season now is that for creating a variety of subjects, but the time will also come when even this season will finish. Now there is still a good chance to create subjects but later, when the Rosary of Bhagats begins, there will only be just a few who emerge as even ordinary subjects. So, there is still a good chance.

Achcha.
