"The signs of a true lover."
24 October 1981 · English
Do you know where the Father has come today and who are all those He has come to meet? In which form has He especially come to meet you? As is the Father’s form, so is the form of His children. So, do you know in which form the Father has come to meet you all? Is it wrong for people to say that God has many forms, or is it right ? At this time, the Father meets you in many forms of many relationships. So, the One has many forms practically on the basis of His relationships or His tasks. Therefore, the devotees are right, are they not? In which form has the Father come to meet you today? Where is He meeting you? You heard about that relationship in today’s murli (morning murli of the day). So, who is the Father and who are you children? Today, the spiritual Beloved has come to celebrate a meeting with the spiritual lovers. Where has He come to meet you? Which is the most loved meeting place of all? Do you remember where your spiritual Beloved used to take you lovers at the beginning? (To the ocean.) So, today also, the spiritual Beloved who is full of all treasures and virtues, is meeting you spiritual lovers on the shores of the Ocean as well as on the mountain of an elevated stage in the coolness of moonlight. The ocean symbolises fullness and the mountain symbolises an elevated stage. Moonlight symbolises a constantly cool nature. All three are together. Today, the spiritual Beloved is pleased to see the spiritual lovers. What song are you singing? (Each one is singing his own song.) Normally, you can only listen to one song at a time. However, the Father can hear everyone’s song at the same time. You lovers are singing your own songs and the Beloved is responding to those songs. Whatever songs you are singing are all fine. Each one’s words of love are heard by the Father with love. It is easy for you lovers to remember your Beloved, is it not? You spiritual lovers have a relationship of easy and constant remembrance of your Beloved. You don’t especially have to remember Him, because you couldn’t forget to remember Him, even if you tried.
Today, Baba saw the love of every lover. What else He see? You lovers are many and the Beloved is only One, but each of you says from experience, “My Beloved”, because your spiritual Beloved is the Ocean of Love. The Ocean is unlimited: however many of you lovers there are, you can all take as much as you want and the Ocean will always be limitless and full. This is why there can be no question of someone receiving less or you receiving more. Those who take can take as much as they want. The treasure-store of love is overflowing. However, those who take are numberwise in taking, whereas the One who is giving gives number one love. Those who take are also numberwise in accommodating whatever they take. Each of you knows how to love, but you are numberwise in fulfilling the responsibility of that love. All of you say, “My Beloved”, and yet, although say you “My”, what do you do? Do you know what you do? Today, Baba has come to have a heart-to-heart conversation, not to speak a murli. Therefore, tell Me, what do you do? You say, “mine” and yet, sometimes, you even go touring before coming here. Then, when you are tired after touring around, you say, “My Beloved”. Some lovers make a lot of mischief. What mischief do you make? (Speaking to Didi and Dadi) They make a lot of mischief in front of you who are in the corporeal form, do they not? You make so much mischief! You say, “I do this, I keep behaving like this, but it is Your duty to transform me. This is just how I am.” You make mischief by telling the Father the things that He tells you. You remember very well the saying, “No matter what I am, how I am, I am Yours.” And so, the Beloved replies, “Yes, you are Mine - but at least become a perfect match!” If a couple don’t match each other, what would those who see them say? The beloved is very beautifully decorated but the lover has no decoration at all! Would that seem right? So, you can think about this yourselves: He Himself has a shining dress, but His lover is wearing a black dress or a stained dress. Would that look good? What do you think? However, what do you then say? “It is Your duty to remove my stains.” But, in fact, the Beloved transforms your dress, so why don’t you wear that? Why do you waste time removing those stains? To belong to the Beloved means that everything is transformed. Why do you remember your old black dress that has so many stains on it? Why do you wear it again and again? Why don’t you put on your shining dress and remain decorated and stay with your Beloved in the sparkling world? Nothing can get stained there.
So, lovers, remain constantly equal to the Beloved - full and constantly shining. This means: remain stable in your complete form. The Beloved has to make effort for one more thing. Do you know what He has to make effort for? That too is something amusing. Your Beloved has promised you lovers that He will take you all back home with Him, but what do you do? The Beloved is very light and you lovers become so heavy that the Beloved has to make a lot of effort in order to take you lovers back with Him. So, would such a couple seem right? The Beloved says, “Become light!”, but what do you do? You don’t exercise in the way that you ought to, in order to become light. So, how can you become light? You know the spiritual exercise, do you not? To become incorporeal in a moment, to become an avyakt angel in a moment, to become a karma yogi in the corporeal form in a moment and to become a world server in a moment - to become any of those forms within a second is your spiritual exercise . What extra weight do you take upon yourself? You gain a lot of weight from wastage and are therefore unable to become light. Some gain the weight of wasted time, some of wasted thoughts and some of wasted powers. Some have wasteful relationships and contacts. Because of the weight you gain in all those many different ways, you cannot become double-light like the Beloved. True lovers are indicated by becoming equal to the Beloved; that is, by becoming like the Beloved, as He is and what He is. So, who are all of you? You are lovers anyway, but are you lovers who are equal to the Beloved? Only equality brings closeness. When there isn’t equality, you cannot become close. There is the praise of having 16,000 queens. That 16,000 would be numbered , would they not? One Beloved has been shown with so many lovers, but the meaning isn’t understood. Spirituality has been forgotten. So, today, the spiritual Beloved is telling you lovers: Become equal and come close. Achcha.
You are sitting in the moonlight. To stay in your form of coolness means to sit in the moonlight. Stay constantly in the moonlight. Your dress will automatically shine in the moonlight. Wherever you are seen, you would be seen to sparkle. Remain constantly on the shore of the Ocean. This means constantly to maintain your stage of being as full as the Ocean. Do you understand where you have to stay? The Beloved loves this shore. Achcha.
Constantly be like the Beloved. Stay in His company with your hand in His hand. This is what it means to be loving and co-operative. “Company” means love and “hand” means co-operation. To those who easily maintain the stage of belonging to the one Beloved and none other, to such spiritual lovers, love, remembrance and namaste from the spiritual Beloved.
Today, those from Delhi and Gujarat have come. Those of you from Delhi don’t feel that you have the banks of the River Jamuna but not the shore of the Ocean, do you? There is the Ocean at the confluence age and there are the banks of the river in the future. You play on the shores of the Ocean at the confluence age. So, at the confluence age, there are the shores of the Ocean and the things of the future are on banks of River Jamuna. So, what is the connection between Delhi and Gujarat? Delhi is the bank of the River Jamuna and Gujarat is where they dance the garba (circle dancing). So, the dancing on the banks of River Jamuna is very famous. This is why those from Delhi and Gujarat have both come. Achcha, those from abroad have also come. Foreigners invite those here to go there on a tour. “Didi should come! Dadi should come! So-and-so should come!” Just as you go on a tour for a short time , so too, you will tour in the future. You will reach there in a second . It will not take long because accidents never happen. This is why there is no need for any speed limit . You can visit everywhere in just a day. You can tour the whole world in a day. This atomic energy is going to be useful for you. They are busy refining it. That power won’t make you people unhappy. Which element does the most service? The sun. The rays of the sun will show various wonders. All of these preparations are being made for you. There will be no need to burn gas , coal or wood. You will be free from all of that. Achcha. You will continue to see many wonders. They make the effort and you will eat the fruit. Then, you won’t even have to make the effort to put up these wires etc. Without any effort, with your natural nature , you will have natural attainment. However, in order for you to experience that happiness from nature , you must make your original nature natural . Only then will you be able to attain total happiness from nature . “ Natural nature” means your eternal sanskars. You are enjoying this just hearing about it. So, how much will you enjoy the reward, when you experience it? Just as birds fly here, so too, vimans will fly there. How many will there be? Just as a flock of birds fly together in a line , so too, the vimans will fly together in a group. It won’t be that when one is taking off, another one won’t be able to take off; they will fly in various designs . The royal family will fly in its own design and the wealthy subjects will fly in their own designs . You can land wherever you want to. Conquer matter now and it will become your servant there. If you don’t conquer matter very much now, then matter will be less of a servant for you there. Do you understand? Achcha.
Those from Delhi and Gujarat have celebrated a meeting very well, have you not? Those from Gujarat and Delhi have to become great donors. To give others a chance is to become a chancellor . So, today, those from Delhi and Gujarat have become chancellors. Achcha.
BapDada meeting Madhuban niwasis.
Who are the residents of Madhuban? What title should be given to you residents of Madhuban? Think of a new title . What have you put up in Madhuban at this time? You have just acquired a photocopying machine . Therefore, you residents of Madhuban are photostat copies . As is the Father, so are the children. Everything is copied identically with that machine . The speciality of that machine is that there cannot be the slightest difference. The residents of Madhuban are the photocopies . Madhuban is the machine and you residents of Madhuban are the photos . Every action you perform needs to reveal your line of fortune drawn by the Bestower of Fortune. Your line of fortune is drawn by your actions. So, every action each of you performs has to be such that it draws your line of elevated fortune. Just as every action BapDada performed was such that it drew the line of fortune for himself and everyone else, so you must become equal to the father in the same way. You have attained so many facilities, so much co-operation and you also have such elevated company in Madhuban; nothing is lacking in the treasure-store of Madhuban. So, what would someone who has attained everything become? He would become full, would he not? What is still lacking? If you lack something, it is your own dharna that is lacking. One eternal sanskar should have emerged in the residents of Madhuban. What sanskar is that? What eternal sanskar did Father Brahma have that made him successful in whatever he did? All of you also need to have the same sanskar. As well as saying, “Ha ji” (Yes indeed), he also always said, “You first!” He never put himself first. He always let others go first. Father Brahma always put Jagadamba ahead of him; wherever he went, he always placed the children ahead of him in everything. He placed Jagadamba ahead of him. Only those who let others go first are able to say, “Ha ji”. This is why the main thing is to let others go ahead, but also with pure feelings. Not just for the sake of it, but with the feelings of a well-wisher. On the basis of your good wishes and elevated feelings, when you put others before yourselves, you come first. To let others go first means to claim the first number . The father put Jagadamba ahead of him, he always put the children ahead of him, and yet he still claimed the number one . He had no selfish motives in this. He was completely altruistic. He demonstrated putting others first in a practical way. Similarly, your lesson of “You first” has to be very firm. Not that you feel that you should have done something when someone else did it. Do not say, “Why did this one do this? Only I should do this. Why should I not do this? Am I not able to do this?” Let there not be those feelings. Whether the other person does something or you do it, it is still the Father’s service. None of you here has your own business, do you? There is only the one Father’s business. You are on God’s service. You even write, “ On Godly service ”. You don’t write, “my service”, do you? Just as the Father is One, so service is also the same. Therefore, whether someone else does something or you do something, it’s the same thing. However much someone does something, make him go ahead. Not that you feel that it is you who should go ahead. Make yourself go ahead by enabling others to go ahead. All of you have to go back home together. You will all return home with the Father. This means that all of you will go together. When each of you has this feeling, you will have become a photostat copy of Father Brahma.
This means that anyone who sees a resident of Madhuban would see Brahma Baba, because each of you is a copy . Therefore, no one would be able to say that he hasn’t seen Father Brahma. Let your actions and your stage clearly reveal Father Brahma. This is the speciality of you residents of Madhuban. Everyone follows you residents of Madhuban. So, each of you in Madhuban is a master Brahma. Anyone who is given a photograph of Brahma Baba looks after it with love. He considers it to be the best gift of all. So, all of you also have to become photos of Father Brahma. Become equal to Father Brahma and you too will become invaluable gifts. Achcha.
What speciality of Brahma Baba did you see on his face? There was maturity (seriousness) and also a smile. To have maturity means to be introverted. Together with that, he also had an entertaining nature. The sign of his introversion was his constantly being an image of maturity lost in the depth of the Ocean. His face was that of being lost in churning and thinking and even then, he was always smiling. You saw both these qualities in Brahma Baba’s face. Therefore, your faces too should be copies of Father Brahma’s face. Father Brahma should be visible in your face and in your form because Madhuban was Brahma Baba’s service place and the place where he performed karma. Therefore, the same acts and service should be seen in those who live on this land. Constantly keep the lamp of this hope ignited. This is the hope that Brahma Baba has in you. Now celebrate Deepawali in this way. Ignite the lamp of this one hope BapDada has in you. When each of you ignites this deepak (lamp), it will be Deepmala (a rosary of lights). If one or two lamps in a circle of lights go out, does it look nice? If one or two lamps are even flickering, it doesn’t look nice. This is why all of you lamps have to remain ignited in this deepmala.
All of you residents of Madhuban should be justices , of self-justice . Before you judge anything, you should first judge yourself. Then your time and the time of others won’t be wasted. Madhuban is a Peace Palace . When you have peace of mind and peace on your lips, the rays of peace will spread from Madhuban, the Peace Palace . Everyone who is distressed asks all of you who live in the Peace Palace for alms of peace . Your rays of peace have not yet reached those who are making preparations for destruction. This is because there is a tug of war. Sometimes you have peace and sometimes there is peacelessness. In order for them to do their task your rays of peace have to reach them. Only then will their intellects make the final decision. They will destroy everything. Everyone will then return home peacefully to the land of peace. Therefore, now become great donors and bless such beggars with this great donation.
BapDada always considers you residents of Madhuban to be the close jewels who will bring souls of the world close to BapDada. Therefore, now prove that this is so. When all of you copies are precisely equal to Brahma Baba, the unlimited bombs will be dropped. Then there will be the celebration of fireworks and also the coronation. Now fix the date for this. The date will be when each of you become an exact copy of Brahma Baba. You residents of Madhuban can do whatever you want. Achcha, so what are all of you thinking about?
Only BapDada has a camera for the thoughts in the mind. BapDada can clearly see what is going on in each one’s mind. Even now scientists are trying to invent a camera that can pick up someone’s line of thought within. Those poor helpless scientists are making so much effort! Whilst they are trying to invent such things, they will be left out and you will make use of the facilities they have already created for you. Achcha.
With groups:
Do you know the importance of the place that you have now reached? You have come to the great pilgrimage place. So, what have you become by coming here? Charitable souls. So, always keep in your awareness that you are charitable souls. Let there be good wishes and pure feelings for everyone in your every thought; this is the highest charity. When people go to pilgrimage places, they always leave something behind and bring something back with them. So, whatever is an obstacle to your progress, leave that behind and constantly continue to move along at a fast speed. The company of the children of the Bestower of Salvation will easily make you a charitable soul. You have great luck, you are fortunate souls. Now, in order to always keep this fortune with you, always keep elevated company. With the colour of the company, you will always be elevated. The Father always sees all the children as the long-lost and now-found, beloved children. Now, continue to move along as those who have a right to the elevated inheritance. Do not be content with just a little. Children of the Bestower are not happy with just a little, they take everything. So, the full inheritance, full rights. This is known as always being greatly fortunate. Achcha.
BapDada meeting teachers:
All of you are BapDada’s especially co-operative souls. Only those who are loving can be co-operative. When you have love for others, they won’t be able to stay without co-operating with you. So to be a server means to be one who is loving and co-operative. You are those who live together, who give your company to one another and who return home together at the end. So you are ever ready in all three. You have to live together and give your company to one another at this time and return home together later. When the first two things are fine, the date will be fixed for the third. All of you are instrument souls. The more you give your company to one another and stay together, the more zeal and enthusiasm others will have on seeing you. Each one of you is an instrument for many others. Do not have the consciousness of “I”, but have the feeling that Baba has made you an instrument. The consciousness of “I” has now finished. Instead of “I”, let it be “My Baba”. Let it not be “I did this, I said this.” but “Baba made me do this, Baba did this.” Then see how easy it will be to be successful! The more the words “Baba, Baba” emerge from your mouth, the more you will be able to make others belong to Baba. Let every one of you have just the one concern of belonging to Baba. Only then will you be able to make others concerned about belonging to Baba. That is what will happen when the concern you have is deep. BapDada is pleased to see the courage and renunciation of the young kumaris. The old ones experienced everything before they adopted renunciation. That is not a big thing; they experienced and saw everything before they renounced it all! However, you young ones are sensible from the beginning. The younger you are, the more sensible you are!
Delhi: Businessmen have not yet emerged from Delhi. A businessman can make a hundred thousand move forward, because one businessman comes into contact with many. If even half of all the people he comes into contact with hear the message, very many would emerge. This too is a business . A businessman receives many shares . A businessman has good opportunities to do service. Now prepare a group of businessman before you come again. Achcha.
Sevadharis (servers): Those who serve the yagya (sacrificial fire) are as important as the yagya itself. Even now, the memorial of this service still continues at many religious places. The service carried out at religious places created later is considered to be important. So, how much more importance would be given to the servers of this great, living sacrificial fire? You are not just doing service, but eating the multimillion-fold nourishing fruit of that. A wealthy person is referred to as someone who always eats nourishing fruit. A poor person is said to have only dal and roti to eat. A rich person is one who eats nourishing fruit. A server is one who eats nourishing fruit. Therefore, you have become so elevated! You have a double income at every step: through your thoughts and deeds. “Through your thoughts” means that you do everything whilst staying in remembrance. Therefore, that is a double income. Each of you can understand for yourself how much you earn. The treasure-store of service is overflowing. The great sacrificial fire means the treasure-store of service. The treasure-store of service is overflowing. Therefore, each of you can do as much service as you want. There is no limit to it and it is never going to end. Do not think that this work is finished, and wonder what you should do now. The treasure-store of service is always overflowing. The treasure-store is unlimited. Therefore you can do as much as you want. You have won the lottery of becoming full of all treasures. You have won this lottery. However, within this lottery, whether you win multimillions, a hundred thousand, a thousand or a hundred is up to you. This lottery is so great that you can even win multimillions.
BapDada too comes here as the Server. The first form of the World Almighty Authority is the World Servant . Therefore, the Father’s praise is equal to the children’s praise. You are obstacle-free servers, are you not? There are no obstacles in service, are there? When there is any type of obstacle in the atmosphere, in the company, or laziness of any type, then that service is not proper service. That service has been spoilt. Do not get caught up in any type of obstacle. Importance is given to service that is free from obstacles. Let there not be the slightest obstacle even in your thoughts. Such a constant server would never get caught up in any type of circle. Never get caught in any wasteful circles and you will then be constantly successful in service. Otherwise, there won’t be success in service.
