"Avyakt BapDada"
12 September 1988 · English
Which gathering is it today? At the present time, in which form do you see yourself? Actually, just as Baba is the One who adopts many forms, so too, all of you adopt many forms. However, at present, with which form are you sitting in the gathering? Whose gathering is it today? Do you know that? At the present time, in which form are you elevated souls being invoked? Are all of you elevated souls invoked, or is only one soul invoked? Who is invoked? In which form are you invoked at the present time? Which time of the world is it at the moment? Who is being invoked? At the present time, you are being invoked in two forms. You are the ones who are being invoked, but you people don't even know about it. At the present time, from all four directions, you elevated souls are being invoked in the form of Bestowers of Blessings and World Benefactors. The equipment and facilities, that is, possessions, which have been available for a temporary period through the path of bhakti on the basis of their bhakti and through their elevated karma, and according to their capacity, that temporary throne of attainment has begun to shake. What do people remember when a throne that has been a support begins to shake? They remember the Father who enables them to have the attainments of happiness and comfort for all time, and with Him they remember the Shiv Shaktis, the goddesses who are the great donors and bestowers of blessings. Because the hearts of the goddesses and the mothers are loving and merciful, at the present time there is a greater worship and invocation of the form of the mother. At the present time, there is a greater invocation of those who are the embodiment of success, that is, the souls who make all tasks successful. Nowadays, weak souls who are distressed by many distressing situations, souls who are searching for a destination, souls who are desperate for the attainment of peace and happiness, do not wish to know the method of efforts but instead of the method they wish to experience the success easily. After the success they will be able to understand the importance of the method. Which form of you, the world benefactor souls, do those souls wish to see? At the present time, they wish to see the form of love, not lawful but loveful. First give them the love, then give them the law. After experiencing the love, they will experience the law as the method of love. In today's world of external sparkle, in the age of science there are many instruments of science. However, as the various instruments for temporary attainments are being invented, so the more is true love, spiritual love, love without selfishness finishing. The experience of love for souls is finishing and love for instruments is increasing. Therefore, even though there is attainment of many kinds, because there is not the attainment of love, there is no contentment, and day by day discontentment is increasing. They will realise that all these instruments are taking them away from their destination, making them stumble and causing distress to the soul. That is, they are like the expression that has been remembered from the previous kalpa, "The children of the blind are blind". They remain deprived of all attainments as though they are a mirage. In time, people will experience this in all four directions. Which souls will it be who become the instruments to fulfill the desires of the hearts of such souls and give them the fruit that is desired by their hearts? Those who themselves are the embodiment of success, and not engaged in removing obstacles day and night. They will themselves be those who are the image of blessings, who have attained the blessing of the revealed fruit of supersensuous joy and all the powers. They will not themselves be calling out saying: Baba, do this for me, give me this. They will not have any trace of asking, even in a royal yourself. There should not be ordinary checking. According to the time, checking should also be subtle. Let there be this type of checking according to the time. In each subject, to what extent are you the embodiment of the accurate method and the embodiment of success? That is, how much time do you use in applying the method in each subject, and how much success do you experience? In all four subjects, which stage have you reached with your mind, words and actions? Let there be this that at the end, the pandavs melted away on a mountain top. That is, they went beyond body consciousness and the influence of the world of sorrow and stabilised themselves in an elevated stage. They were stable in an elevated stage and observed with detachment the games of those who were down below. Only the ones who remain in this stage do not become the embodiment of difficulties but are embodiment of solutions. So such a stage is required at the present time. Is your stage like this? Is there the slightest upheaval? What will happen? How will it happen? What will happen to us? You are the embodiment of stability, are you not? There is no upheaval when there is stability.
Today, BapDada is playing the part of being obedient to the children's order. Baba hasn't come according to the programme, and so in the same way, follow the Father. Human souls are going to be invoked tomorrow, not Baba. Let all of you stabilise yourselves very powerfully in your form of world emperor and master of the world in the form of the child, so that all of your bhagats receive a vision for a short while and are satisfied. And then listen to everyone's experiences of how many bhagats throughout the day were given the fruit of their bhakti through Baba. You will satisfy your bhagats, will you not? The memorial is not only of one. All of you are also with that one. So the Janamashtmi of all of you will be celebrated. All of you will be in the form of a deity like Krishna, will you not? This is the day of your consciousness of the deity form. The people of the world will be celebrating, but what will you be doing? They will celebrate and all of you will be the great donors and bestowers of blessings on those who celebrate. Achcha.
To those who merge the Ocean in a vessel, to those who are the embodiment of all types of success, like Baba, to those who are world benefactors for all at every second, to those who give a vision of Baba through themselves, those who are the embodiment of visions like Baba, the Image that gives visions, to those who are constantly incorporeal and constantly righteous elevated souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
Just as the life of worldly people is fast in foreign lands, in the same way, is the speed of effort of you souls fast? You are servers, are you not? There is nothing except service. You do service whilst sitting, do service whilst sleeping and then even if you have dreams, they are of service. Are you such servers? Let each second and each breath be for service, not for the self, not for rest for the self, not only for your own effort. To inspire effort in others by the effort of the self is called being a server. Is the label of being serviceable on your forehead in this way? What is the sign on the forehead of being serviceable? The jewel of the soul, the jewel of the forehead will constantly be visible, sparkling. This is the label of the serviceable ones. Achcha.
Question: As soon as you belong to Baba, which inheritance do you receive as your birthright?
Answer: That of mukti and jeevanmukti. The experience of mukti, of the land of mukti, can only be experienced now. You will not experience this there. There is the experience of liberation in life in contrast to the experience of bondage in life now. This is not only for the future. Everyone claims the right to the inheritance by belonging to Baba. However, to adopt the inheritance in life and take benefit from it depends on one's stage.
Question: What is the stage of being liberated in life? When can there be that experience?
Answer: Liberation in life means to live but to be free from the attraction of the body, bodily relations and the old world. The experience of liberation in life comes after the experience of mukti. So first of all, be free from the consciousness of the body, bodily relations and the old world. So check yourself: Am I losing the inheritance received from Baba? Whilst having all rights, do I become dependant on anything? One who has a right can never be dependant on the body and the elements.
Question: What is the main difference between a weak, ignorant soul and an enlightened soul?
Answer: Ignorant, weak souls say: This should happen, should, should. An enlightened soul will not say" 'should', 'should'. They will do that which must be done. Those people speak about it but enlightened ones do it. This is the main difference.
