"Avyakt BapDada"

Do you all constantly experience yourselves to be stable on the seat of faith? Does the seat of faith ever shake? No matter how much a situation, nature or an individual may try to shake the seat of faith, nothing can shake it. Is the seat so unshakeable and immovable? One who constantly remains seated on the seat of faith in an unshakeable way is praised as one with faith in the intellect and so is victorious. So the sign of remaining unshakeable is that there is constant victory in each thought, word and action. Do you experience yourself to be such a victorious jewel? You are not ones who shake in any aspect are you? Let such effort makers amongst you who think that there is something that can create an upheaval or that any type of thought may emerge, raise your hand. Is there anyone who thinks: Yes, this is possible? If you don't raise your hand, what will you do when a very strong paper comes? If a difficult paper comes, will you all pass? So should the date for the paper be announced? Are all of you ready? You will not say at that time that you didn't understand this particular aspect, will you? Or, that you hadn't thought about it; that this is a new thing that has happened? The test of your faith is that those things that you consider to be possible will act as a paper in being impossible; and those that you think to be impossible will come in front of you as possible. Will you still then remain unshakeable? There are four aspects to being one with faith in the intellect and a full percentage is required in all four. You know these four aspects and you also follow them. The first: Faith in the Father. To know Him and to accept Him as He truly is and the form through which He is playing a part. The second: To clearly understand and accept the knowledge through experience. The third thing is: To understand and accept yourself as you truly are, that is, your elevated life of the alokik birth, the elevated Brahmin life, and your elevated part. Your elevated stage and place is important, so recognise and accept your own importance and move accordingly. The fourth: To recognise and accept the present elevated most auspicious time as the time or the stage of ascent, and to take every step accordingly. When a soul has complete faith in all these four aspects in his practical life, he is known as one with faith in the intellect and is victorious. There has to be a full percentage in all four aspects. Don't be pleased simply knowing that you have faith, for the percentage must be high. If the percentage is low in even one aspect then the seat of faith can be shaken by even a small situation at any time. Therefore, check the percentage. Because now the time to be full and the time to be complete is coming close; even a small weakness can cause a great deal of damage at this time. You are becoming extremely clean and satopradhan, therefore a weakness that may be experienced as very small or as an ordinary flaw today becomes very large. Therefore, let there be subtle checking from now on and make intense effort to make yourself complete. Day by day as you become elevated, you are becoming very well known in the vision of every soul. Everyone's vision is drawn towards you more and more. Now everyone is wondering when the souls who are the instruments for establishment will accomplish their task so that this world of sorrow can be transformed on the basis of that establishment. Their vision is on those who are bringing about establishment. But where is the vision drawn of those who bring about establishment? Are you engrossed in your task, or are you keeping an eye on those who are to bring about destruction? You are not moving by listening to the news of the instruments of destruction, are you? If they become slack, you also become slack. Will destruction take place on the basis of establishment or will establishment take place on the basis of destruction? Those who are bringing about establishment are the instruments to ignite the flames of destruction. It is not that those who bring about destruction are the instruments to ignite the flames of effort. Those who bring about establishment are the image of support. Those who are such an image of support do not shake in this aspect of destruction, do they? They do not fluctuate, do they? "Will it happen or not? What will people say or what will people do?" These waste thoughts do not shake the seat of faith, do they? All of you raised your hands to indicate your faith in the intellect, did you not? To have faith means that there are no questions of why, what, who and how in any aspect for such questions are the royal form of doubt. The soul says: I don't have doubts, but such questions arise. So does anyone have any progeny or any trace of such thoughts? Is there the trace or the progeny of doubt? If there is complete faith in the intellect in all four aspects, can any doubt arise? Since this is the beneficial age, and you are the souls who follow the shrimat of Baba, the Benefactor, you cannot have any thoughts other than the thoughts of benefit and of the stage of ascent. Every thought for every task at all times will be a powerful thought for the present as well as the future. It will not be a waste thought. You are not afraid, thinking that you will have to face the situation, are you? To face the paper means to move forward, that is, to come very close to the complete stage. This paper will come. If your intellect is clear, you will be able to clarify the situation for others. Does this make you think that it isn't going to happen at all? As time passed by everything that happened in the drama became as easy as passing a hair through butter, did it not? Was there anything difficult? BapDada is making you sit in His eyes, on his heart throne and is taking you across. Does BapDada not fulfil the promise and the task of keeping your company until the end and of enabling you to overcome all situations? You will be taken home with Baba, will you not? If these thoughts were to arise even when you have the company of the Almighty Authority, what would you say? Finish such waste thoughts. You are BapDada's helpers, and so you should be engrossed with the task for which you are the instruments. Intensify the fire of your love, the fire of love through which the fire of destruction will adopt an intense form. You have become instrument Brahmins to create this sacrificial fire of imperishable knowledge. When first you sacrifice all your weaknesses in this sacrificial fire, there will be the sacrifice of the entire old world and after that there will be completion. Now light the match stick of determined thought and then there will be completion. Achcha.

To those who remain lost in love, those who constantly remain stable on the seat of faith while carrying out each task, those who remain unshakeable and immovable in every situation, to those who are always close and co-operative, to such loving souls BapDada's love, remembrances and namaste.

Do you consider yourself to be a soul who is an emperor of the land beyond sorrow? You are beggars as well as emperors. You should not be an emperor in those things in which you have to be a beggar and a beggar in the things in which you have to be an emperor. The intellect should perform such miracles. As is the time, so should be your words and your form. Which main power is needed for this? This requires the power of discrimination. First of all, understand when is the accurate time for discrimination and according to that which form is required; only then will you be victorious. Which is the main effort required to bring about the power of discrimination? For this, the main thing is that in the love of the intellect there has to be honesty and cleanliness. When something is clean, the more everything is clearly visible in it, that is, discrimination is very easy. There has to be only cleanliness here but what type of cleanliness?. That of honesty; the greater the love of the intellect the greater the dharna of cleanliness. That is, the greater the honesty and purity, the more the soul will easily develop the power of discrimination. Do you check yourself to such an extent? It is very easy to stay in remembrance. You came here to experience the happiness of remembrance in a corporeal form. However, on what basis does everyone become numberwise? It is through this cleanliness and honesty; and it is through this that the power of discrimination will become elevated. The greater the power of discrimination the greater the success. There is cleanliness and honesty, but what is the percentage? By your checking this there will automatically be numbers created. Achcha.

Question: What are the methods for temporary progress and for progress for all time?

Answer: To make progress according to a programme is the method of temporary progress but the method of progress for all time is to have thoughts of the eternal self. According to the present time, the speed of effort should not only be determined through concern but there should be a worry. It is called worry but the attainment is that of supersensuous joy. This worry will easily create the stage of being like a lotus flower; that of being content and cheerful.

Question: At the present time in what way is there the form of intense thoughts but not worry?

Answer: There are the thoughts that this should happen, that this should be done, and that one should do this, but the form of worry is that the soul acts, does, becomes and inspires others to do. This form of worry is now required in effort.
