"To Celebrate Holi Means to Become the Highest and the Holiest"

Today, BapDada is seeing all His highest and holiest children. All the children are the highest of all and the holiest of all within this unlimited drama of the cycle of the world. Look from the beginning to the present confluence period and see whether any soul has become higher and more elevated than you souls. Whether a soul is the father of a religion or a great soul, no other soul attains as elevated a stage or as elevated a status as yours, because you souls are those who take direct sustenance from the Highest on High, from God. You study with Him and take elevated shrimat from Him to make your life elevated. You know yourselves, do you not? Look at your eternal period. In the eternal period, you are those who remain close to the Father in the supreme abode. Do you remember your place? You are the highest and you are close to and with Baba eternally. You souls also attain the deity status in the golden age, at the beginning of the cycle of the world. The time of the deity souls, the starting period is the most elevated; in the corporeal human life, you are full of all attainments and elevated. In the cycle of the world, that deity status, which is the deity life, is the life where you have attained all four types of attainment: in mind, body, wealth and people. Do you remember your deity life or have you forgotten it? You have remembered the eternal period (anadikaal) and you have also remembered the time of the beginning (aadikaal). Recall it very clearly. You are the highest in both of these, are you not?

After this, come to the middle period. In the copper age, the non­living images of you souls are created, that is, you become worthy­of­worship souls. Within worship too, look how the deity souls are accurately worshipped, according to the system. Temples have been built to all of you. Are there temples to the double foreigners? Or, are they only built to the residents of Bharat. They have been built, have they not? No other souls are worshipped in the way that the deity souls are worshipped. Memorials of great souls may have been placed in the temples, but they are not worshipped with such devotion and precision in rituals. So, in the middle period you are also elevated and the highest in your worthy­of­worship form. Now, come to the end, to the confluence age. You are the souls who are the highest­on­high Brahmins, the Brahmins who become angels. So you are the highest eternally, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end. Do you have as much intoxication? You do have this spiritual intoxication, do you not? Not ego, but self­ respect; you have intoxication with self­respect. Swa (self) means the soul, the spiritual intoxication of being an elevated soul. You are the highest as well as the holiest in the whole cycle. Other souls may become holy, that is, pure, but your purity of the present period and then the purity of deity life is the most elevated and unique. At this time, too, you become completely pure, that is, holy.

The definition of complete purity is very elevated and also easy. The meaning of complete purity is that impurity should not touch you in your mind or intellect or even in your dreams. This is known as being a true Vaishnav. At the moment you may be effort­ makers, numberwise, but the aim of your effort is complete purity; and you are souls who develop purity easily. Why is it easy? Because children have courage and the Almighty Authority Father helps. This is why that which was difficult and impossible has become possible and it is becoming possible numberwise. So you Brahmin souls experience the elevated stage of being holy, that is, of purity. Does it seem easy or difficult? Is complete purity difficult or easy? What is it? Is it sometimes difficult and sometimes easy? You have the aim of definitely becoming complete, do you not? Your aim is the highest, is it not? Or, is your aim weak, and you think, "It doesn't matter, everything is OK."? No. You don't think, "These things happen sometimes." You don't think: "These things happen a little; let's carry on as we are. Who finds out about these things anyway? No one sees anyone's mind. We don't put it into action". However, the vibrations of the mind cannot remain hidden. BapDada clearly knows those who simply carry on with this, but He doesn't speak about them. Otherwise, Baba could reveal your names, but He is not doing that now. Those who simply carry on will reach the silver age. However, everyone's aim is that of complete purity. If you look at the entire cycle, it is only the deity souls who have a pure body and a pure soul. The souls of the others who come may be pure, but their bodies are not pure. You souls become so pure in Brahmin life that you make your body and matter pure. This is why your body as well as the soul are pure. However, who are those souls whose body and soul both become pure? Have you met them? Where are those souls? You are those souls. Are all of you this or some of you? You are sure that you are those and you are becoming those. Therefore, you are the highest and also the holiest; you are both, are you not? How did you become this? You became holy by celebrating the very alokik, spiritual Holi.

Which Holi have you played through which you became the holiest and the highest? Which is the best and the most elevated colour? The most imperishable colour is the colour of the Father's company. As is the company, so you are coloured. Whose company are you coloured by? By the Father’s, are you not? To whatever extent you are firmly coloured with the Father's company, to that extent you become holy, you become completely pure. Being coloured by the company is easy, is it not? Stay in the company and you will automatically be coloured. There is no need to labour. Do you know how to stay in the company? Or, do the double foreigners prefer to be alone and know how to feel lonely very quickly? Sometimes, there is a complaint that you feel yourself to be alone. Why do you remain alone? Why do you feel lonely? Is it because you have the habit? Brahmin souls cannot be alone for even a second. Can they be alone? (No). You should not, but you do. BapDada Himself has made you His companions, and so how can you be alone?

Some children say that they have made Baba their Companion but that there isn't always that company. Why? You have made Baba your Companion; that is fine. If all of you were to be asked who your Companion is, you would reply that it is Baba, would you not?

BapDada saw that sometimes it doesn’t work by you making Baba your Companion, and that you still become lonely. Then, what method should Baba adopt? You have made Baba your Companion, but you do not remain combined. The combined­form is never separated. There is sometimes a friendly quarrel with the Companion and so you become separated. Sometimes, things happen and you separate yourself from the Father. You have made Baba your Companion, so experience the Companion in the combined­form. You cannot be separated. "No one has the power to separate me from the combined­form." Put this experience into your awareness again and again and become an embodiment of it. Check again and again: "Am I combined? I haven't set myself aside, have I?" The more you increase the experience of the combined­form, the more you will experience Brahmin life to be very loving and a life of entertainment. So you have come to celebrate such a Holi, have you not? Or, will you simply celebrate Holi with colours and then say Holi is over? Always remember: We have to become the holiest and the highest easily with the colour of the company. It is not difficult; it is easy. The company of God never gives the experience of anything being very difficult.

BapDada also does not like the children to experience labour or difficulty. You are master almighty authorities and you are in the combined­form with the Almighty Authority. So how can there be difficulty? There is definitely the experience of difficulty when there is carelessness, laziness or when the sanskars of the old past life emerge. Since you have died alive, the old sanskars have also died. The old sanskars cannot emerge. Forget them completely. They belong to the old life. They do not belong to Brahmin life. Since the old birth has finished and you have taken a new birth, new birth means new sanskars.

If Maya makes the old sanskars emerge, then look at it like this: if someone were to give you something belonging to someone else, what would you do? Would you keep it? Would you accept it? You would think, "This is not mine, this belongs to someone else, I cannot accept it." In the same way, if Maya comes to you in the form of making your old sanskars emerge, then they are not your things. Just think: "This is not mine, this belongs to someone else." You cannot consider an old thing to be yours even in your thoughts. Can you consider it to be yours? Think about it! Something that belongs to someone else will definitely deceive you; it will give you sorrow. Think about it and leave anything foreign that very second. Throw it away, that is, remove it from the intellect. Don't keep that which is not yours in the intellect otherwise you will continue to be distressed. Always think about what Baba has given in Brahmin life. What is Brahmin life, that is, what are my original nature, sanskars, attitude, drishti and awareness? These are original, and others are foreign. Do you like foreign goods or do you like goods of your own? Those are Ravan's goods and these are the Father's goods. Which do you prefer? Do not have these thoughts even by mistake, "What can I do? My nature is like that. My sanskars are such. What can I do because it is very difficult to erase sanskars?" They are not yours. Why do you say "mine"? They are not "mine". You say "mine" to that which belongs to Ravan. Because you make them yours, the sanskars think that you have accepted them, so you are very hospitable to them. Let your original sanskars and original nature emerge and the others will then automatically get merged. Do you know what you have to do?

You have come to celebrate such a Holi, have you not? People would say that Holi is for one day; the next day Holi is over. What would you say? You say: We are constantly celebrating Holi with the colour of the company and have become holy. By continually celebrating Holi, we have become holy. Have you already celebrated Holi, or have you yet to celebrate it? Ever since you became Brahmins, you have been celebrating Holi because the time of the confluence age is the time of constant festivity. People of the world spend extra money and celebrate with pleasure but you celebrate every second with pleasure. You sing and dance at every second. You constantly dance in happiness. Or do you only dance when there is a cultural programme? You are constantly dancing, are you not? Constantly sing songs of the Father’s praise and of your attainments. Does everyone know how to sing? All of you can sing. All of you can dance and you can do this constantly. Is singing and dancing difficult? It is easy. So constantly experience it to be easy and become complete. Never think," I don't know if I will become complete or not." Never allow this weak thought to come. Always think: "I have become this many times before and I have to become this again." Achcha.

To the elevated souls who constantly celebrate the Holi of the colour of the company of God, to the elevated souls who constantly play the highest part in the cycle of the world, to the holiest souls who are the most elevated of all souls, to the multimillion times fortunate souls who constantly remain combined, to the Brahmin souls who constantly make the difficulties of others easy, to the souls who are experienced in the flying stage of their new birth, new nature and sanskars, new zeal and enthusiasm, BapDada's love remembrance and namaste.
