"The sign of completing the old accounts."

(BapDada spoke this murli after an incident took place in Bhopal, India on 2nd December, 1984, when over 40 tonnes of lethal gases leaked from a factory in Bhopal, killing thousands of people.)

Today, BapDada has taken the support of this corporeal body and come to meet His corporeal children in the corporeal world. BapDada is looking at his unshakeable and immovable children amidst the upheaval of the world at the present time, that is, in the world with the atmosphere of sorrow. He is seeing the lotus flowers who, whilst living amidst upheaval, remain detached and loving to the Father. He is seeing the fearless children who are embodiments of power who are living amidst an atmosphere of fear. He is seeing carefree emperors who are world transformers. You are such carefree emperors that there cannot be the slightest trace of influence on you from anywhere in the atmosphere of worry. At present, the majority of souls in the world have worry and fear in particular in them. However, to the extent that they worry, to that extent you have positive thoughts for them. You have changed worrying into being an embodiment of having pure and positive thoughts for them. Instead of being fearful, you are singing songs of happiness. You are experiencing this much transformation, are you not? You are those who give everyone a drop of peace and happiness by constantly having pure and positive thoughts for others, and serving through your mind with good wishes and pure feelings. You are those who become immortal images and give souls who have experienced untimely death the co-operation of peace and power because it is at present, the season of untimely death. Just as there are sudden hurricanes and storms, in the same way, storms of death take with them many altogether, suddenly and very quickly. The storms of untimely death have only just begun. Especially in Bharat, it is civil war and natural calamities that become instruments for transformation every cycle. The form of transformation abroad is different. However, in Bharat, it is these two things especially that are instrumental, and you are seeing rehearsals of both these things. Both are playing their parts at the same time.

You children asked how and why there are so many deaths at the same time. What is the reason for this? You know and also experience that the time for completion is coming close. All the accounts of sinful actions and sins performed by all souls in the copper and iron ages that still remain; have to be completed in full, because everyone now has to return home. If the fruit (return) of actions performed and sins committed from the copper age are not settled in one birth, they would continue into the next birth of accounts of settlement or attainment. However, it is now the final period and the accounts of sin are greater. This is why the old accounts of many souls are being settled by the punishment of a quick birth and a quick death. Therefore, at present, death is painful and the majority also take birth with a lot of pain and sorrow. Neither is death easy nor is birth easy. So, painful death and being born through suffering is the means to settle the karmic accounts quickly. Just as methods are used to kill small ants, big ants, mosquitoes etc., and mosquitoes and many types of germs and ants can be destroyed at the same time with those methods, in the same way, human beings of today are also experiencing untimely death like mosquitoes and ants. There is no longer a difference between human beings and ants in this respect. Because of all these accounts and because of them finishing for all time, storms of untimely death come from time to time.

In the same way, the part of punishment in the land of Dharamraj is also fixed at the end. However, that punishment is experienced by souls individually when they settle their karmic accounts. Even whilst souls have many types of karmic accounts, there are three special types: accounts that a soul has to suffer for himself, for example, illness. Souls settle their own accounts through the illness of their bodies. Another is for one’s head to become dull from the influence of some type of evil spirit. Souls themselves experience the suffering of karmic accounts through that type of punishment. Another account is to receive sorrow from relationships and connections. You can understand how that works. The third is the settling of karmic accounts through natural calamities. Therefore, karmic accounts are settled on the basis of all three types. So some karmic accounts will not be settled in the land of Dharamraj with relationships and connections or through natural calamities; they are settled here, in the corporeal world. All the old accounts of everyone have to finish. Therefore, this machinery of settling karmic accounts has to work now at a fast speed. All of this is to happen in the world. Do you understand? These are the karmic accounts of the philosophy of karma. Now, check yourself: Have I, the Brahmin soul, settled all my past karmic accounts by making intense effort at a fast speed or does some burden still remain? Do some of the old accounts still remain or have they all finished? Do you know the special signs of that? If any of your sanskars or nature create an obstacle to your bringing about elevated transformation or performing elevated actions, if you are unable to do as much as you want or as much as you think you want to do, if you say or think in your mind words such as, “I don’t know why this happens even against my conscious wish; I don’t know what happens”, if you have an elevated desire, you have courage and enthusiasm, and yet you feel yourself to be influenced by something, if you say that you shouldn’t have done something, that you didn’t think about it, but that it happened, that is called being influenced by your own old nature and sanskars, being influenced by bad company or being influenced by the atmosphere and vibrations . When you have any of these three stages of being influenced, then for something to happen against your conscious wish, for you to be unable to do something even when you think of doing it, when you do not attain success because of being influenced by something, it is a sign that a burden of some past account still remains. Check yourself against these signs. Does any type of burden bring you down from the experience of the flying stage? To settle accounts means to experience the flying stage within every attainment. If there is attainment only sometimes, then “sometimes” means that the account still remains. Therefore, check yourself in this way. In the world of sorrow, mountains of situations of sorrow are definitely going to erupt. At such a time, the means of safety is “the canopy of the Father’s protection”. You already have the canopy of protection, do you not? Achcha.

All of you have come to celebrate in the mela of the meeting. This is the mela of the meeting in which no matter how painful a scene may be, if you are in a mela, it will seem like a game. You will not feel fearful. You will continue to sing songs of the meeting and dance in happiness. You will give others the co-operation of courage. Not physical dancing, but this is dancing in happiness. You constantly celebrate the mela, do you not? You also stay in the mela of the meeting. Nevertheless, you have come to the Madhuban mela and BapDada is also pleased to see the children who celebrate such a mela. The decoration of Madhuban have reached Madhuban. Achcha.

To all the souls who are the form of power and constantly settle their own karmic accounts and enable others to settle their karmic accounts, to the spiritual lotus flowers who, whilst constantly being amidst some sorrowful and painful atmosphere, remain detached and loving to the Father, to the elevated souls who constantly have pure and positive thoughts for all souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada speaking to teachers: You are servers, not teachers . Renunciation and tapasya are merged in service. To become a server means to have a right to the mine. Service is such that you remain overflowing at every second . You become so full that you continue to eat from that for half the cycle. You are such servers that you don’t need to make effort. Even in that, you are spiritual servers who stabilise yourselves in the awareness of the spirit and serve the spirits (souls). This is called being a spiritual server. BapDada always gives such spiritual servers the title of “Spiritual Rose.” Therefore, all of you are spiritual roses who never wilt. You are those who refresh everyone with the fragrance of your spirituality.

2. To become a server is very elevated fortune. A server means being equal to the Father. Just as the Father is the Server, in the same way, you are instrument servers. The Father is the unlimited Teacher and you are instrument teachers. So, you have attained the fortune of being equal to the Father. Through this elevated fortune, always continue to give others the blessing of imperishable fortune. Very few souls in the whole world have such fortune. Whilst keeping this special fortune in your awareness, become powerful and continue to make others powerful. Continue to make others fly. Make yourself constantly move forward and also make others move forward. Achcha.
