"Today, the Emperor of the land free from sorrow has come to meet His masters of the land free from sorrow. BapDada is pleased to see such masters, to see that each one of His children has become a master. You have become the masters of all three worlds: the confluence-aged world that is free from sorrow, the incorporeal world that is free from sorrow and the world of heaven that is free from sorrow. Seeing such masters, BapDada congratulates the masters for Holi on this day. The congratulations are not for the colourful Holi, but for “ho-li”, which means that you have already become, that you already belong to the Father. All of you have now become the Father’s, that is, you now belong to Him. You have become His, have you not? Which song do you sing? “We now belong to the Father!” Congratulations for Holi to those who now belong to the Father. Are you still going to become this or have you already become this? What would you say? Once you have made the past the past and come to belong to the Father, you can then sprinkle one another with the (water) sprinkler of happiness. You sprinkle coloured water on one another, do you not? So, how many different types of spray flow from your sprinkler? Nowadays, you sprinkle one another with water of different colours from the one sprinkler. You become colourful with all the different types of coloured water; you then have to tidy up your clothes or your face. However, your colour is so elevated and lovely that whoever you colour with that, they want to be coloured even more. They will want to be coloured with it all the time. Your sprinkler of happiness transforms souls so much that it makes them into deity souls. One spray is, “I am an elevated soul”. This is the spray of happiness. “I am a child of the Master of the World.” “I am knowledge-full of the beginning, the middle and the end of the world.” “I have a hero part with the highest-on-high Father on the elevated stage.” In this way, you have so many different points of sprays of happiness in your sprinkler. Firstly, you sprinkle one another with this sprinkler of happiness. Secondly, you also have the sprinkler of all attainments. For instance, there is the sprinkle of supersensuous joy and the sprinkle of spiritual love between souls and the Supreme Soul. These are common things, but you can think of more things. The third sprinkler is that of all powers. Have all of you people from abroad seen these water sprinklers? They are like rose-water sprinklers which have many holes in them; however, these sprinklers are used from a distance with great force so that the water spray reaches a long way. You have also seen the unique sprinklers of knowledge, have you not? The fourth sprinkler is of the main points of knowledge. By playing Holi with such sprinklers, you become deity souls. You gopes and gopis do not play holi with your Father, Gopi Vallabh, for just one day, but every day, because every day of the confluence age is a holiday. All of the confluence age is your holi day and all of the golden age is your holiday. Do not celebrate your holiday at this time. Because of your love, the efforts you make at present seem like a holi day. BapDada was watching a scene of you children from up above. He saw a scene of you children labouring. (Every day brothers have been removing rocks from the land where a new hall – Om Shanti Bhawan - is to be built.) At some time in the future, you will be worshipped in the temples in this form (stone idols), matter will serve you as your servant, and the Father too will turn the beads of the rosary of you children. However, what were you children doing? You were picking up rocks. Because of your love, this labour didn’t feel like labour. You all considered this task to be your task and the task of your family. This is yagya service. Because of your love for BapDada, you experienced this labour to be a game. The more you labour at the confluence age, the more freedom you experience, because the busier you keep your intellect and body, the freer you keep yourself from waste thoughts. This is why you were told that the labour of the confluence age is in fact a holi day. When Bap and Dada saw you children, they had a heart-to-heart conversation. You are now removing those rocks so that a hall can be built. However, each of those rocks will increase a thousand-fold and become diamonds and jewels for you. These diamonds and jewels will decorate your palaces very beautifully. You will not have to build palaces there. Because of the effort you make now, you will receive ready-made, decorated palaces as your reward. BapDada saw how all of you were very happily lost in the intoxication of service. So, do you now understand what Holi it is?"
First you burn (jalana) something and then you celebrate (manana). On the first day, you burn something and on the next day, you celebrate. On the first day you also make the past the past . This means that you burn everything of the past. Only then can you sing the song of your now belonging to BapDada. This is how you celebrate in happiness. They celebrate the memorial of this Holi festival by making fancy images of deity idols. However, in that, they also especially put lights in the middle of their foreheads. This is in memory of you. When the lights on your foreheads are lit, you become deities. When you belong to the Father, you become deities. You experience this practically, whereas those people just celebrate the festival in memory of your practical experience. So, do you now understand how you celebrated Holi and what those people do? See the difference between the real thing and the memorial of it! (Someone said: Eminent people hold a seminar of great fools). This too is right because when the Father comes, those eminent people become great fools. To the extent that they are great, they become fools. Since they are unable to recognise the Father, they are great fools, are they not? This is how they celebrate the memorial of their great foolishness of the previous cycle. They do everything wrong. The Father says: Recognise Me, whereas those people say that the Father doesn’t exist. So, that is wrong, is it not? You say that the Father has come and they say that that’s impossible! So, they do everything wrong, do they not? They create great expansion in that way. However, the memorial is, in essence, the auspicious meeting of the Father and the children. The confluence age is the age of this auspicious meeting. Although you children who live in Bharat know about these things, today Baba is telling all of this to the children who have come here from abroad, because the kingdom you are to rule will be in Bharat; you are not going to rule your kingdom in America. Therefore, you would definitely need to hear about and understand the things of Bharat, would you not? Look at the memorial they have made of your experience. What they created is so different!
To those who sing songs of Holi after celebrating Holi by making the past, the past, to those who with the holy sprinkler constantly sprinkle the costume of the soul with different colours, to the Brahmins who constantly celebrate the auspicious meeting with the Father and thereby become deities, to those who become the masters of the land free from sorrow, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
You have heard many murlis. Is there anything left to hear now? Now, we just have to meet and celebrate. You have heard and spoken a lot too. You were told so much through the sakar form. You have also heard so much from the avyakt form. You haven’t just been listening for one year, but for 13 years. Now in this 13th year, you have to make Him yours. (Tera (13) also means yours). Now, just remain in the intoxication of, “I am Yours”. This is the essence of everything you have been told.
