"Spiritual Drill."

BapDada is looking at all the children’s sweet silence stage, to see to what extent you have practised becoming stable in the stage of silence in a second . Are you able to stabilise in this stage when you want or does it take time? Your eternal form is of sweet silence , whereas your original form is of coming into sound. However, your original and eternal sanskar is of silence . So, whilst knowing your eternal sanskar, your eternal form and your eternal nature, are you able to stabilise in that form when you want? You have had 84 births of coming into sound and your practice has therefore always been of coming into sound. However, because of your eternal form and because it is now the end of the cycle, you have to return to the home of silence . The time to go home is now close. It is now the time to finish all the parts of the beginning, middle and end, the three aspects of time and to become stable in your eternal form and your eternal stage. This is why, at this time, this practice is more necessary. Check yourself to see whether you have become a conqueror of your physical organs. When you don’t want to come into sound, does the sound of the mouth pull you? This is called spiritual drill .

Just as, these days, they say that the cure for all illnesses is exercise , similarly, to make the soul powerful at this time, you need to practise this spiritual exercise . No matter what the atmosphere around you may be like, even if there is some disturbance, whilst staying in the midst of sound, you now have to practise over a long period of time being in the stage beyond sound. It is not a big thing to create a peaceful stage in a peaceful atmosphere. You now need to practise being peaceful in the midst of peacelessness. Do you know how to have such practice? Whether it is the disturbance of your weaknesses or the disturbance of waste thoughts because of your sanskars, are you able to make yourself unshakeable amidst such a disturbance or does it take time ? When it takes time , it can deceive you at any time. At the time of completion (at the end), you are not going to get a lot of time. The paper of the final result will only be a few seconds or a few minutes . However, you will receive a number on the basis of the extent to which you remain unshakeable in the midst of an atmosphere of disturbance all around. If you have had the practice over a long time of taking time to become unshakeable in an atmosphere of disturbance, then what will be the result at the end? Therefore, practise the exercise of spiritual drill. You need to be able to stabilise your mind wherever you want for as long as you want. The final paper is very easy and you have been told in advance what paper you are going to get, but the number will be given in a very short space of time. Let your stage also be powerful .

While each of you has everything - a body, relations of your body, sanskars of your body, people, possessions, vibrations , and the atmosphere - let none of them attract you. This is called being a conqueror of attachment and having a powerful form. So, do you have such a practice ? People will be crying, whereas you will remain unshakeable. No matter how much the elements of nature and Maya come to make their final claim and pull you to themselves, you have to remain absorbed in the love of the Father, whilst being loving and detached: this is called seeing and yet not seeing, hearing and yet not hearing. Let there be such a practice. This is called the stage of being in the sweet silence form. Nevertheless, BapDada is giving you time. If there is anything missing, you can fill in that gap now, because you have been told about the account of a long period of time. So, you now have a small chance and you therefore have to pay full attention to this practice . Whether you pass with honours or simply pass with pass marks, it all depends on this practice. Do you have such a practice? When the bell of time rings, will you be ready or will you think that you still have to get ready? The rosary of the eight jewels is small because of this particular practice. It is of a very short time . You people say that everyone has a right to claim the inheritance of liberation or liberation-in-life in a second . So, to receive a number at the time of completion is also a matter of a short time. However, let there not be the slightest disturbance. Simply say, “a point” and become stable in that stage. The point should not fluctuate. It should not be that at that time you begin to practise: “I am a soul, I am a soul”. That will not work, because you have already been told that the attack will be from all sides. Everything will have a last trial . However much power the elements have, however much power Maya has, they will all come to test you. It is their last trial (test) and also your last (final) stage of being karmateet and free from karmic bondage. The scenes on both sides will be very powerful. They will be in full force and these will be in full force . However, your victory in just a second will cause the drums of victory to beat. Do you understand what the last paper is? You all have and must keep the pure thought of wanting to be number one. So, only when you win in everything everywhere, will you become number one . If you have the slightest wasteful thought in any single situation or if your time is wasted, your number will go down. So, check everything. Check all around you. Double foreigners want to go fast in everything. Therefore, starting from now, make intense effort and pay full attention to this practice. Do you understand? You know the question and you also know the time . So, all of you should pass . If you know the question in advance, you are able to prepare yourself and then pass . All of you are those who are going to pass , are you not? Achcha.

This season, BapDada has kept the treasure-store open for meeting everyone. Baba will tell you later about what is to happen in the future. You will now, of course. take whatever you have come to take from the open treasure-store. The scenes of the drama always keep changing, but this season , whether it is the people of Bharat or the double foreigners, all have received special blessings. BapDada will fulfil the promise He has made. Eat the fruit of this season , and that fruit is the meeting and blessings. All of you have come to eat the fruit of the season , have you not? BapDada is also pleased to see the children, but everything has to be considered in the physical world. At least enjoy yourselves now. Baba will then tell you about it at the end of the season .

Although the places where you serve are different, the aim of doing service is the same. The zeal and enthusiasm is the same, and BapDada therefore gives all the places special importance. It isn’t that one place is more important than another. Whatever place children have gone to, one special result or another will definitely emerge from that place. Whether the result of some is visible quickly and the result of others is according to the time, every place still has a speciality. So many good jewels have emerged. Do not think that you are ordinary. All of you are special. If any of you were not special, you would not have reached the Father. There are specialities, but some use their specialities for service, whereas others are at the moment getting ready to use them for service. However, all of you are special souls. All of you are maharathis and mahavirs. If Baba were to praise each one, a long rosary would be prepared. If you look at the Shaktis, each one of the Shaktis is a great soul and visible as a world-benefactor soul. You are like that, are you not? Or, are you just benefactors of your own places? Achcha.
