Today BapDada is seeing the children from all four directions who have self respect, and who are respected throughout the kalpa. Because you claim the authority of your kingdom, you receive respect from the subjects, and for half a kalpa you receive respect through bhakti. You claim that fortune primarily by renouncing the body - you cannot stabilise yourself in the stage of soul consciousness without renouncing body consciousness.
The Father himself has given you children respect - Baba has made you from maids and servants of the feet onto the crown of his forehead. Those who claim such great self respect are respected by others. Baba always keeps the children ahead of him - he sings praise of their virtues. He comes into the corporeal region from paramdham every day - to give you love and remembrances.
To have self respect means to have respect for others, and to have the respect of others. Baba receives the respect of all the souls of the entire world, and the more he receives the more he gives to all the children. One who does not give does not become a deity.
You saw Brahma Baba in the sakkar form - he always saw the children in their future form of world benefactors. He saw the kumaris, the kumars, and the youth as the ones who are to challenge the great souls of the world. He saw them with respect as pure souls. He always considered them to be great souls, who would perform miracles even more so than he would. In the same way he gave respect to the mature ones as experienced souls, those who were the same as he was. In their worship worthy form of the world emperors, Lakshmi and Narayan are the first to be worshipped after the worship of Baba. He became number one in both receiving respect from the kingdom and in being worshipped, because he gave self respect and respect to everyone. He did not think that he would give them respect only if they gave him respect.
One who gives respect considers anyone that insults or defames him to be his friend. The entire world is your family. You Brahmins are the roots of all souls - all the branches, all the souls of different religions, have emerged from you, the roots. So everyone should belong to you. Those with self respect always consider themselves to be master creators, and they give respect to others.
BapDada is seeing in front of him the elevated children who have self respect and who receive respect. With his drishti of respect he is giving love, remembrances and namaste to the children who are his companions, those who constantly receive respect from the kingdom and are worthy of worship.
