"Avyakt BapDada"

What would today's gathering be called? Just as Baba is the master of the unlimited, in the same way, no matter where you instruments may be, you are still world benefactors. Are there constant feelings of benevolence in your drishti, attitude and consciousness? You are the ones who are to bring about the renewal of the world. Is the transformation of the world taking place? Although sound is created in one place it reverberates in all four directions, does it not? In the same way, does the sound that you create in one instrumental place reverberate in all four directions? So two aspects of dharna are very necessary for world benefit, and through these you can be a world benefactor even whilst in a limited place. If you don't have this dharna, the sound and your drishti cannot reach the unlimited world. What are the two aspects of dharna needed in order to be a world benefactor? On the basis of which two aspects of dharna are you carrying out the task of world benefit? You definitely receive the visible fruit of a pure attitude and pure feelings for world benefit. The fruit of devotion is received on the path of bhakti as well, but whereas that is temporary, here it is for all time. What are the two main aspects of dharna needed in order to achieve that visible fruit? There cannot be progress for the self or progress in service without dharna. You are doing that and you have to continue to do it. Don't use the words: We will do it, but: We have to do it. The two main aspects of dharna are: first, the sparkle of Godly intoxication and with that, mercy. If the sparkle of intoxication and the mercy are both together and equal, then with the equality of both these virtues, the stage of spirituality is created. This is what is called spirituality or the spiritual stage. There should be the total sparkle of intoxication and total mercy as well. At the moment, you either let go of the sparkle of intoxication and simply have mercy, or you let go of the mercy and just have the sparkle of intoxication. Therefore, there is a lack of that stage of spirituality which is created through having the equality of these two. This is why, when you perform any task, or you speak words through the mouth, you should first check this: Are the the sparkle of intoxication and mercy present on an equal basis? By making both equal you will be able to maintain your self respect and secondly, you will receive respect from all other souls. When you let go of self respect and have a desire for respect from others, there isn't success. Renounce the desire for respect and stabilise yourself in a state of self respect, and then respect will follow you like a shadow. Just as with blind faith the bhagats run around so much after their deities, in the same way, all souls will run around to give respect to the souls who in the living form are stable in a state of self respect. Have you seen the running around of the bhagats? These two main aspects of dharna are shown by the artists of your non-living images. On the one hand, they show the sparkle of intoxication of the shaktis in full force and on the other, they also show the mercy. They create both the feelings in one image. Why do they do this? Because you become the practical form of this sparkle of intoxication and mercy. So these are two main dharnas that they show in the non-living images. All of you are now doing service and the basis of the visible fruit of service is these two main aspects of dharna. You must definitely be merciful; but on what basis and how? This also has to be seen. It is necessary to maintain the sparkle of intoxication, but how and with what method can it be revealed? This must also be seen. The sparkle of intoxication will not be visible by revealing it consciously. Through the eyes and the face, the sparkle of intoxication should automatically give a vision. If you speak about it, the sparkle of intoxication becomes bossiness; so don't show bossiness, stay in the sparkle of intoxication. Bossiness is the progeny of arrogance and anger. Therefore, don't show bossiness, but definitely stay in the sparkle of intoxication. If you stay in the sparkle of intoxication together with mercy, bossiness will finish. Even if a soul is one who may provoke bossiness, by your being one who has the sparkle of intoxication as well as being merciful, you will never become bossy. You cannot say that circumstances were such; that he spoke such words that I had to do this; that it had to be done that way; that these things happen, we have not become complete yet. These words should not be in the language of this gathering because you are instruments for service. Therefore, this gathering is of those who are master knowledge-full, serviceable and successful. Those who are successful do not make any excuses. They change the cause into a solution. They will not let the cause come in front of them. Those souls who are master knowledge-full and successful change the cause into a solution with the power of their knowledge so that the cause finishes. Those who are the instruments especially have to pay attention to their every thought. Everyone's vision is only on the souls who are instruments, because people know everything now. Just as here you become knowledge-full day by day, in the same way, the people of the world are becoming knowledge-full through the power of science. They check your thoughts from your forehead, eyes and face. Just as here, the power of knowledge is increasing, so there, the power of science is no less; there is the force of both. Therefore, the souls who are instruments must especially pay equal attention to their thoughts, words and actions. If there isn't attention, the lines on your face seem to be of tension. It is possible for people to know the extent of someone's fortune through their lines, but if attention is less, the lines on the face are those of tension. Those who are full of the knowledge of Maya, are able to know; they are no less. Sometimes, you people are not able to discern the reason due to carelessness; those people however are more clever than you in this aspect because this is their activity. Therefore, those who are the instruments must accept that much responsibility. If anything is difficult, it is because there is definitely some weakness. Sometimes the intellect has a lack of faith in the self. You have one-hundred-per-cent faith in Baba. Even if on one side you are alone in having faith in the intellect for Baba and on the other side there are all the souls of the entire world, you would not fluctuate in this, would you? In the same way, no matter what may become the cause of fluctuation, whether it be the divine, Godly souls or the souls of the world, the intellect should not have a lack of faith in the self. This is why there should be the sparkle of intoxication with the mercy. There shouldn't be the sparkle of intoxication on its own. There should be mercy as well. There should be faith in the intellect but by having the feelings of bringing benefit, both the drishti and attitude are transformed. No matter how angry, insulting or defaming the person opposing you may be, if there are feelings of bringing benefit to each soul, your bossiness will change into mercy. Then what will the result be? Will anyone be able to shake you? Those pure feelings of benefit will bear the fruit of transforming that person's sanskars; they will not be wasted. It is true that some seeds bring instant fruit whereas others do not bring it instantly; it takes some time. You must not be impatient in this, thinking: But the fruit didn't emerge! Not all fruits emerge instantly. Some seeds only bear fruit when there is a natural shower of rain; they do not emerge if you water them. This also is fixed in the drama. Now you are planting eternal seeds; some will bring instant fruit, some, when the natural calamities take place, and some when the scenes of the drama are about to change. Then that natural atmosphere and those vibrations will bring the fruit of that seed. It will not be destroyed; that is a guarantee. Since it is something eternal, it isn't possible that the fruit will not emerge. However, some souls are going to come close, and some are going to be at a distance, and so how can they come now? They will also bear fruit later. Therefore, when doing service, never see or think that what has been done is wasted. Numberwise, according to the time, the fruit will become apparent. So this is a successful group; it is knowledge-full and serviceable. This is the stamp. Continually see this trade mark of yours. The stamp is a trimurti (threefold) one, is it not? Keep this in your consciousness. Let each step of service be transformed into an income of multi-millions. Check this. Have you accumulated an income of multi-millions with each thought? Did you accumulate an income of multi-millions with each word, each action and each step? Otherwise, what is this saying for: There are multi-millions (padam) in each step? A lotus flower is also called padam. So by moving like a lotus flower, you will be able to earn an income of multi-millions with each thought and each step. No thought will be without an income. Now it is the time to pay such attention. Not even one step should be without an income of multi-millions. You are the group of those who are instruments, are you not? You must be the ones who wear a crown. When you accept the crown of responsibility for yourself you will be able to accept the crown of responsibility for others. Achcha.

SHRIMAT

23) Sweet children, in order to make your eyes civil, look with the vision of soul consciousness. Even whilst seeing the body, don't see it. I am a soul, I am speaking to a brother soul. Let this practice be very firm.

24) Don't write private letters to one another. This also develops love for bodily beings, and an account of bad actions is created.
