"Methods to transform your vision and attitude."

Today, BapDada is looking at the gathering of all the effort-makers. All the knowledge is merged in the word "effort-maker" (pursharathi). The word "pursharathi" means "purush" (being, master) and rathi (charioteer). Charioteer of what? Master of what? To be a master of matter, that is, the charioteer of the chariot. What would happen if you were to stabilise in the meaning of just this one word? You would easily be able to overcome all weaknesses. The master has all rights over matter and is not subservient to it. The charioteer drives the chariot; he does not move along whilst being subservient to the chariot. One who has all rights has all rights to all the powers of the Almighty Authority Father, that is, he has a right to the inheritance and has all rights over it. All the powers are the Father's property and every child has a right to that property . BapDada gives all of you the fortune of the kingdom of all powers as your birthright. As soon as you took birth, you were given the self-sovereignty of all powers, the tilak of the awareness of being one with all rights and the heart-throne for having the form of one absorbed in love for the Father. As soon as you took birth, each of you was given the crown of service for world benefit. So, all of you have the birthright of the throne, the tilak, the crown and the kingdom, do you not? Can souls who are embodiments of the attainment of these four things be weak? Are you not able to look after these four attainments? Sometimes, the tilak is erased, sometimes you get off the throne and sometimes, instead of wearing your crown, you carry a burden. You carry a basket of useless, wasteful things. You are called self-sovereigns, but instead of being a sovereign of yourself, you become a subservient subject. Why do you play such games? If you continue with such games, when would your original sanskars of claiming the right to the fortune of the kingdom become imperishable? If you continue with such games, what is your attainment going to be? How can someone who is unable to make his original sanskars imperishable claim a right to the kingdom of the beginning? If you have the sanskars of a warrior for a long period of time, that is, if you spend your time battling, if you are victorious today but are defeated tomorrow, if you gain victory one moment but are defeated at the next moment, if you don't have the sanskars of being victorious all the time, would you then be called a warrior or a Brahmin? It is Brahmins who become deities. Warriors will then go and become warriors. There is a difference between the symbol of deities and the symbol of warriors. In the memorial pictures, one has a bow and arrow and the other has a flute. The one with a flute became a master flute player (murlidhar), so that, instead of being poisoned by the snake of vices, he removed all the poison and made the snake into a bed. There is such a vast difference between a poisonous snake and a snake that becomes a bed. How was such transformation brought about? With the flute. Only those who bring about such transformation are called victorious Brahmins. So, ask yourself: Who am I?

All of you have revealed your weaknesses with honesty. You will receive marks for that honesty, but BapDada saw that, even now, you haven't yet developed the power to transform your own sanskars. So, when will you become world transformers? When will the transformation of your vision and attitude become imperishable? You are observers who observe everything with your vision. So, why do you allow your vision to become mischievous? Do you look at everything with your divine eye or with gross eyes? When you look with your divine eye, you will constantly only see the divine form. Gross eyes will only see the skin. Whose job is it to look at the skin and to think about the skin? Is it the work of angels? Of Brahmins? Of self-sovereigns who have all rights? So, are you Brahmins? Who are you? Should Baba even speak that name?

Always see every embodied soul, every woman, in the form of a Shakti, a world mother or a goddess. This is what it means to see with divine vision. She may be a kumari, a mother, a sister or an instrument who is your teacher, a server, but who is she? She is a form of a Shakti. Even in the relationship between brother and sister, the attitude and vision can sometimes become mischievous. Therefore, always see her in the form of a Shakti, a Shiv-Shakti. What would the condition be of someone with a devilish intention who comes in front of a Shakti? You know that, do you not? She is not just your teacher , but a Shiv-Shakti. She is your spiritual sister. However, even beyond that, see her as a Shiv-Shakti. You mothers and sisters should also remain constantly stable in your form of a Shiv-Shakti. Don’t think, "This one is my special brother or my special student ." Sisters are Shiv-Shaktis and you are mahavirs. You are those who will burn Lanka, but you first of all have to burn the progeny of Ravan within yourself. What is the speciality of Mahavir (Hanuman) that they show? What does he constantly show in his heart? One Rama and no one else. You have seen the picture of this, have you not? So, every brother is a mahavir and every sister is a Shakti. Mahavir belongs to Rama and Shakti belongs to Shiva. Whilst looking at any bodily being, always look at the soul in the forehead. Are you going to speak to the soul or the body? Whilst carrying out any activity, is it the soul or the body that is doing it? Constantly see the soul in the body at every second . Let your vision fall on the jewel in the forehead. What will happen then? When the soul sees the soul, he will automatically become soul conscious. This is the first lesson, is it not? If you don't make the first lesson of Alpha firm, how would you receive beta, the kingdom? Simply remain cautious about one thing. Whatever you have to do, you have to perform elevated actions and become elevated. So, become one who has determination about everything. No matter what you have to tolerate or face, you have to perform elevated actions and bring about elevated transformation. Don't use the word “effort” in a careless way. "I am an effort-maker. I am moving along. I am doing what I can. I have to do it." This is the language of carelessness. At that moment, stabilise in the meaning of the word “effort”. Matter cannot deceive its master. All these types of weakness are signs of carelessness. Mahavir holds a mountain on his palm and he flies with it in a second . That is, he makes a mountain as light as water. What are all those trivial matters? Such mahavirs would be called those who are even afraid of ants. "What can I do? This happens even against my wish." Are these the words of a mahavir? A sensible person wouldn’t say, "What can I do? Thieves come." A sensible person wouldn’t be deceived repeatedly. It is a careless person who would be deceived repeatedly. If you have the means of safety but don’t use them, what can be said? "I know that this shouldn’t happen, but it does happen." What kind of sense would you say this is?

Be one with determination. I have to bring about transformation - not tomorrow, but today; not today, but now! This is called being a mahavir who obeys Rama. Today, it is the day for a meeting, but because you children have made effort, Baba has to give you the response of your efforts. However, are you going to take these weaknesses back with you? You are not going to take back anything you have already given away, are you? You mustn't allow it to come back to you even if it comes back to you forcefully. Would you allow an enemy to come? Attention and checking are the double lock. Remembrance and service are the second double-lock . All of you have these, do you not? Therefore, constantly have these double locks applied. Apply the lock on both sides. Do you understand? Don't just apply it on one side. You have been offered a lot of hospitality in a physical and subtle way. You have received double hospitality. Just as Didi and Dadi and the instrument souls have offered you hospitality from their hearts, so, in return , all of you have to give a guarantee to Didi and Dadi that, from now on you will remain constantly victorious. Don't just say this with your mouths, but say it from your hearts. We shall then see what everyone in this photo is doing after a month. You can hide things from anyone else but you can’t hide anything from the Father. Achcha.

To those who constantly make their thinking and their doing equal with determination, to those who constantly see the form of a soul with your divine eye so that, whoever they look at, they only see the soul, to those effort-making souls who stabilise in the meaning of the word “effort”, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
