"The elevated fortune of the Brahmins of the confluence-age."

Today, the Father, the Jewel Merchant is seeing His children, who are businessmen. All of you children have made a deal. With whom have you made a deal and which of you have made a deal? In terms of the world, you are very innocent children, but you innocent children have recognised the cleverest of all Father. So, does that make you innocent or clever? In contrast to the people of the world who consider themselves to be clever in many things, all of you are considered to be innocent, but you call all of them innocent because they don’t have the understanding or cleverness to know the cleverest Father of all. You children know the roots whereas they are going into the expansion. All of you have attained multimillions from the One whereas those people are still counting the millions and billions. Who attains the eye of recognition, which is also called the eye of elevated knowledge, every cycle? All of you innocent souls. Those people remain lost whilst searching in the expansion of questions, such as, “What?”, “Why?”, “If not like this (aise), then how (kaise)?”, whereas all of you said, "My Baba, He alone is my Father", to Him and made a deal with the Jewel Merchant. Call Him the Ocean of Knowledge or the Jewel Merchant, He is giving you trayfuls of jewels. You play with those jewels. You are sustained with those jewels, you swing in jewels, you have nothing but jewels. Can you count how many jewels you have received? At amrit vela, as soon as you open your eyes, you celebrate a meeting with the Father and play with jewels, do you not? What business do you do throughout the day? You do the business of jewels, do you not? You count the points of the jewels of knowledge in your intellects, do you not? So you are the businessmen who deal in jewels and the masters of jewel mines. The more you use them, the more they increase. To make a deal means to become very prosperous. So, have you learnt how to make a deal? Have you made a deal or are you going to make a deal? Are you businessmen numberwise or are all of you number one ? The aim of all of you is number one , but someone who is number one would keep himself so constantly busy with the jewels that he wouldn’t have any time for seeing, listening to or thinking about anything else. Even Maya would see that he was busy and would go away. He wouldn't need to make the effort of repeatedly chasing Maya away. Today, BapDada was seeing all the very important children who call themselves knowledge - full and seeing what they were doing. They have the understanding of many things, but not of one particular thing. He was seeing the Brahmin children in contrast to them. BapDada too was singing a song when He saw the difference between the two types. You too sing that song. Brahma Baba used to love that song. BapDada was singing that song about you children. Today, Father Brahma was singing that with a lot of playful intoxication (masti). How innocent and lovely you sweet children are! Just as all of you sing it about the Father, so the Father also sings this song about you children. Who else would sing this song for you children: Who finds you sweet and who loves you? This awareness makes you constantly humble and enables you to remain stable in the intoxication of your self-respect. There is no harm caused by this intoxication. Do you have this much intoxication? For half the cycle you sang songs about God and now God is singing songs about you. Seeing both types of children, BapDada feels both mercy and love for them.

Today, Father Brahma was especially remembering the unknown children of Bharat and the lands abroad. People of the world call them VIP s, whereas the Father calls them VIP which means a Very Innocent Person . This is how He sees them. You are saints and they are innocent , but now you have to give them a drop. Do you know how to give them just a drop? In your line , is their number at the back or at the front? What do you think? (BapDada conducted a drill of silence.)

Give the special power of silence to those souls in this way. Now, they have the thought that they should find some support or some new path. Their desire is now being awakened. It is now the duty of all of you to show them the path. Unity and determination are two ways in which you can show them the path. The good wishes of the gathering will become instrumental in giving those souls the fruit of their loving feelings. The pure thought of all of you will create the thought in those souls to carry out an auspicious task. Adopt this method from now on. Even so, a big task is successful when everyone's pure thought is offered. Do you understand? BapDada says to everyone: Let no child be deprived of anything. All of you have become prosperous, have you not? Achcha.

To the great businessmen who make an elevated deal, to the master jewel merchants who are constantly sustained by jewels and play with jewels, to those who are extremely loving, constantly co-operative, long-lost and now-found children who have the eye of recognition of the Father, to the constant servers who constantly sing the song of "My Baba", to such special souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting a group:

Madras residents: All of you have zeal and enthusiasm, do you not? All of you have the same zeal and enthusiasm in your mind about how to reveal the Father, do you not? You are now also preparing the stage . You are preparing the stage to hoist the flag of revelation. All others also hoist physical flags, but what flag will you hoist? Will you hoist a material flag? What will you do? That is just in name, but what is the real flag that you will hoist? That of revealing the Father. You will hoist the flag which will spread the sound that the Father has come. You are making preparations for this, are you not? Let all souls who are deprived receive light and be shown the path. This is the effort that all of you make and have to make in the future too. If you spread this wave from now on, you will be able to spread this wave everywhere at that time. You have made such preparations, have you not? Always think that you will do what hasn't yet happened anywhere else and show everyone. You have to do something new. The new thing is to let all souls receive the introduction and think, say and experience that the Father has come. Achcha.

Question: What is the greatest treasure of all through which knowledge and yoga can be recognised?

Answer: The greatest treasure is happiness. No matter how much knowledge and yoga you have, if you haven't attained happiness, then there isn't proper knowledge. No matter what situation comes in front of you, your happiness mustn't disappear. You have received imperishable treasures from the imperishable Father and your happiness can therefore never disappear. You have yoga, but if there isn't happiness, that yoga is not accurate. Seeing your happiness, others should ask you what you have found. This is the means to reveal knowledge and yoga.

Question: On the basis of love for whom will obstacles automatically end?

Answer : Remain absorbed in love for the one Father and none other and the obstacles will not be able to stay. If there are obstacles, there cannot be love. Let obstacles come, but they shouldn't influence you. When you become a soul who creates an impression on others, others cannot influence you. For instance, no matter how much someone tries to hide the sun, it cannot be hidden; it constantly shines. In the same way, no influence can pull any unimpressionable soul under its influence. To remain absorbed in the love of the one Father and none other is the special experience of the confluence age.

Question: What is the sign of the elevated, confluence-aged actors

Answer: Elevated actors play a part with the highest-on-high Father. No matter how much effort others make for so many births, they cannot become elevated actors such as yourselves. They can become great souls, and religious founders. They are messengers whereas you are the children. There is as much difference as that between day and night. Do you constantly keep your elevated fortune in your awareness or do you sometimes forget it and remember it at other times? Since you are the children, how could you forget? Since you receive an imperishable inheritance, remembrance too is imperishable. Whilst you were sitting at home and without your making any effort, the Father Himself came and gave you His introduction and made you belong to Him. Otherwise, you were wandering around. You didn't have His introduction. You didn't know His real form and you considered whoever came in front of you to be the Father. An elder brother can be equal to the Father but you cannot receive an inheritance from a brother. Because of not having recognition, you continued to look for Him. The Father has now given you His introduction and so your searching has ended. You have now claimed all rights. Therefore, continue to distribute whatever you have received so far. Achcha.
