"The key to all treasures is the one word “Baba”."
14 October 1981 · English
Today, the Father, the Bestower of Fortune, is seeing His fortunate children. All have become fortunate, but when it comes to the word, “fortunate”, some are one hundred times fortunate and others are multi-million times fortunate. The word “fortunate” is used for both types of fortune. However, there is a vast difference between being one hundred times fortunate and being multi-million times fold fortunate. The Bestower of Fortune is the same, and the method that He uses is the same - the time is the same and yet you are numberwise. The method that the Bestower of Fortune uses is so elevated and easy! In the world, when people experience a bad omen, their fortune changes. So they try many different ways to remove that bad omen and make their fortune elevated. They spend a lot of time, energy and money on that. Nevertheless, they are only able to make their fortune that for a short period of time. Because they don’t change their fortune through the Bestower of Fortune, they don’t have a guarantee for even one birth. They experience temporary attainment through limited human beings who only have limited powers. There, those people are limited human beings whereas here, you have the Bestower of Fortune. You can have your line of fortune eternally drawn by the Bestower of Fortune, because both Fathers are Bestowers of Fortune and are ever-present at this time for you children. At this time, you can take as much fortune as you want from the Bestower of Fortune. It is only at this time that the Bestower of Fortune comes to distribute this fortune. According to the drama , the present time has this blessing. The overflowing treasure store of fortune is open. All the treasure stores of the body, mind, wealth, kingdom, of making nature your servant, of creating devotees – all these treasure stores are open. No one receives a special chance to attain from the Bestower of Fortune. Everyone has the same chance . None of the reasons for anything is a bondage. The reason for coming late, the reason for living in a family, the reason for any illness of the body, the reason of your age, the reason of your physical education and study – none of those treasure stores is locked with a padlock. Day and night, the treasure store of the Bestower of Fortune is overflowing and open. There is no one guarding it. Nevertheless, you are numberwise in claiming this. The Bestower of Fortune does not bestow fortune numberwise. You don’t have to queue here to take it, do you? At amrit vela, all you children from this land and abroad come to celebrate a meeting with the Bestower of Fortune at the same time. So, you are able to have a meeting. To celebrate a meeting is to receive. You don’t ask for anything, but when you receive something from the greatest Father of all, it means you attain your fortune. One is the meeting of the Father with the children and the other is when you receive something. Therefore, you celebrate a meeting and you also receive fortune, because an important, wealthy person would never let you go away empty-handed. Therefore, the Father is the Bestower of Fortune, the Bestower of Blessings, with an overflowing treasure store. How could He let you go away empty-handed? So, how is it that you then become fortunate, one hundred times fortunate, a million times fortunate or multi-million times fortunate? The Bestower is there, the treasures of fortune are overflowing and the present time also has this blessing. You have the knowledge, that is, the understanding of all of these things. It is not that you do not know about these things, and yet why is there a difference? (It is according to the drama.) Even the drama has received a blessing at this time. Therefore, you can’t say that it is the drama .
The method is so easy! Baba doesn’t tell you to labour over anything. He neither makes you stumble nor spend anything. The method is of just one word. What is the one word? Do you know the one word? The one word is the key to all the treasures and an elevated fortune. The key and the method are one and the same. What is it? The key and the method is just this one word, “Baba”. All of you have this key, do you not? So, why is there a difference? Why does the key get stuck? Instead of turning it to the right , you turn it to the left . Instead of thinking about yourself, you start thinking about others. This is what is meant by turning the key the wrong way. Instead of looking at yourself, you look at others. Instead of changing yourself (badalna), you feel you want revenge (badla lena). Instead of transforming yourself, you want others to change. Instead of doing the work yourself and glorifying Baba’s name, you want Baba to do the work and glorify your name. This is how you turn the key the wrong way. Then, even though all the treasures are offered to you, you’re unable to attain them and so you are deprived of your fortune. You are the children of the Bestower of Fortune and yet what do you become? You become those who take just a drop. What else do you do?
People in the world outside keep their valuables locked away in lockers or safes. In order to open them, you need to use double keys or you have to turn the same key twice. If you don’t use this method, you can’t gain access to your treasures. For the lockers in banks, you would have seen that you are provided with one key and the bank keeps another key. Therefore, there are double keys. If you were to try and open your locker with just your key, you would not be able to. Here, too, you need the key of remembrance of the self and of the Father. Some of you children are very intoxicated with yourselves. You say that you know everything, that you’re able to do whatever you want and can inspire others to do what you want - that the Father has made you into a master. With this wrong kind of intoxication of the consciousness of “I”, you forget your relationship with the Father and consider yourself to be everything. You try to open the treasure store with just one key. You want to experience all the treasures but you cannot gain access to the treasures without the Father’s co-operation and company. Therefore, you need a double key. Instead of belonging to BapDada, instead of the two Fathers, some of you children try to use a method of belonging to just the one Father, in order to become a master of the treasures. By trying this method, you deprive yourselves of all attainment. You think, “I have a direct connection with the Incorporeal. The corporeal one also attained everything from the Incorporeal, and so I can do the same. What need is there for the corporeal one?” However, such a key becomes a damaged key and you are therefore unsuccessful. The amusing thing is that you call yourselves Brahma Kumars and Kumaris and yet you only have a connection with Father Shiva! You should call yourselves Shiv Kumars and Kumaris. Why do you call yourselves Brahma Kumars and Kumaris? Your surname is “The Brahma Kumars and Kumaris who belong to the clan of Shiva”, and so you have a relationship with both Fathers.
Secondly, Father Shiva revealed Himself through Father Brahma. Through Brahma, He adopted Brahmins. He didn’t do it on His own. Mother Brahma gave you the introduction to Father Shiva. Mother Brahma gave you sustenance and made you worthy of the Father’s inheritance. Thirdly, when you experience your reward of your fortune of the kingdom, with whom will you come down? The incorporeal One will have become the Resident of the incorporeal world. You will experience the reward of the physical fortune of the kingdom with sakar Brahma. In playing your hero part in the physical form, do you have a relationship with Father Brahma or the incorporeal One? So, how could you become the master of the treasure of all fortune without the corporeal one? Therefore, don’t use a damaged key. The Bestower of Fortune distributes fortune through Brahma. You cannot create your fortune without becoming a Brahma Kumar or Kumari.
In memory of you, it is sung: “You were sleeping when Brahma distributed the fortune!” Were you lost in sleep or were you just lost? So, do not use the wrong key, use the double key. There is the double Father, and it is double in terms of you and the Father. By using this easy method and always having the treasure of fortune, you can become multi-million times fortunate. Find a solution to the cause of the problem and you will become complete. Do you understand? Achcha.
To those constantly elevated, fortunate children of the Bestower of fortune, to those who have easily made the Bestower of Fortune belong to them, to those who constantly play with all the treasures of fortune, to those who don’t just say, “Baba, Baba”, but who have made Baba belong to them and thereby attained all treasures, to such children who have all rights, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
BapDada meeting groups:
1. You have heard a lot, but have you become embodiments of all you have heard? To hear something is to become the embodiment of it. This is called pleasing the mind (“man-rus”). Simply to listen means to please your ears (“kan-rus”: ears- kan), but to listen and to become is to please your mind. The mantra you are given is “Manmanabhav”: focus your mind on the Father. When your mind is occupied with something, it is easy to become an embodiment of that. For example, wherever you are sitting, when your mind goes to something of joy and happiness, your form would become like that. So, “man-rus” means that your mind becomes the form of whatever is occupying it. The time for pleasing your ears has come to an end - it is now the time to please your mind. So, what have you now become? You are masters of the treasures of fortune. You have become the most elevated fortunate ones. As is the Father, so are you. Do you consider yourselves to be like this? You have been told about the key and also the method. It is now your duty to use it. Do you know how to use the key? If you turn the key the wrong way, it will be very difficult. You will lose both the key and the treasures. Therefore, all of you are multimillion-fold fortunate souls who use the key in the right way, are you not? What is the sign of those who are multi-million times fortunate? They have a lotus (padam) at their feet at every step and they also earn multi-millions (padmapadam) with every step they take. They would not deprive themselves of earning multi-millions at even one step. Therefore, you are double padam: a lotus flower is also called a “padam”. If you are not like a lotus flower, you are not able to create your fortune. To let yourself get stuck in the dirt means to lose your fortune. To be multi-million times fortunate means to stay like a lotus and earn multi-million-fold. So, check: do you show both of these signs? Are you constantly detached and loving to the Father? The Father loves your detachment. The more detached you are, the more you will be loved by the Father because the Father is constantly detached Himself. So, then, you become equal to the Father. Therefore, check whether you are accumulating an income of multi-millions at every step, at every second , with every thought, word and deed. Let your words be powerful, let your deeds be powerful, let your thoughts be powerful. When these are powerful, you will be earning an income. When these are wasteful, you will be losing your income. So, each one of you should check your own chart. The correct method of checking is to check yourself before doing anything. If you check yourself after doing something, you will already have done what you needed to check . Therefore, first check yourself and then do whatever you have to. The sign of being a sensible and knowledgeable soul is that you would first consider everything before you do it. If you think about everything after doing it, you then lose half and only gain half. If you think before you act, you gain the full amount. You knowledgeable and sensible souls need to check yourselves not just at night and in the morning, but also always check yourselves before doing anything. It is just as important as when some people first have to have their food inspected before they eat it. Your thoughts are also food for your intellect. This is why you children first have to check your thoughts before you accept them, that is, before you put them into practice. By just checking your thoughts, your words and deeds will automatically be checked . The seed is the thought. Throughout the whole cycle, there is never anyone as important as you.
2. Do you perform every action as a karma yogi? Do your karma and yoga remain combined ? Just as the combined soul and body perform actions, similarly, do karma and yoga remain combined ? While performing karma, do not forget remembrance and, while staying in remembrance, do not forget karma. Many are such that, when they go onto the field of action, they forget remembrance, which proves that their karma and remembrance have become separate. However, both are combined: the very title is karma yogi. Those who stay in remembrance while performing actions remain constantly detached and loving; they will be light and will not experience a burden in any action. In other words, a karma yogi is said to be like a lotus. So, do you remain like a lotus? You are not touched (affected) by any type of rubbish, that is, any vibrations of Maya, are you? Does Maya come sometimes or has she said goodbye to you and gone away? You don’t make Maya sit with you, do you? To make Maya sit with you means to step away from the Father. Therefore, be knowledge-full of Maya and chase her away from a distance. Someone who is knowledge-full on the basis of his experience knows when and how Maya comes. Maya takes birth through weakness. If you have any type of weakness, Maya will come. The germs of many illnesses are born out of weaknesses. In the same way, Maya takes birth through the weaknesses of the soul. The reason is your own weakness and the solution is the daily murli. The murli is your fresh food, your nourishing food. Whatever powers (vitamins) you need, every day’s food is full of those. Those who eat nourishing food every day cannot be weak. You eat this food every day, do you not? There is no need to fast with this food. By having such nourishing food every day, you will remain a master almighty authority. As well as the food, you also need digestion power. If you just have the power to listen and do not have the power to churn, you cannot become strong. The power to listen means to eat the food, whereas churning power means to digest the food. Those who have both powers cannot be weak.
Meeting the teachers: The speciality of those who serve is their renunciation and their tapasya. When you servers have renunciation and tapasya, you will always be successful. A server means one who has no one but the one Father. Let the one Father be your whole world. When the Father is your whole world, what else would you want? You shouldn’t be able to see anyone but the Father. Whilst walking and moving around and eating and drinking, see no one but the Father. To keep this in your awareness means to become an embodiment of success. When you don’t have much success, then check –someone has definitely come between you and BapDada. The sign of being an image of success is that the one Father is your whole world.
