"With the power of concentration, attain success easily through determination."

Today, the Creator of the Brahmin world is happy seeing His Brahmin family everywhere. This alokik Brahmin world is small, lovely and unique. It is the most elevated world in the entire drama, because the destination and the methods of the Brahmin world are unique and special. Brahmin souls are special in the Brahmin world and also in this world. This is why this is the world of special souls. The elevated attitude, elevated drishti and elevated actions of every Brahmin soul are instrumental in making every soul of the world into an elevated soul. Each soul has this special responsibility. So, does each one of you experience this to be your responsibility? It is such a huge responsibility: the transformation of the entire world; not just the transformation of souls, but you even transform matter. You are numberwise in constantly having this awareness. All Brahmin souls constantly have the thought within them that they should become number one special souls, but there is a difference created between their thoughts and their actions. The reason for this is that at the time of performing actions you do not stabilise your consciousness in your stage of being experienced. You remember whatever you have heard and whatever you know, but to accept yourself in that stage and to move along according to that: the majority of you sometimes become experienced in this and sometimes you become those who only listen and accept. In order to increase this experience, you must understand the special importance of two things. One is the importance of the self and the other is the importance of the time. You know a great deal about the self. If any of you were to be asked what type of soul you are, or even if you ask yourself who you are, how many things would come into your awareness? How many points of your stage of self­respect do you remember in a minute? How many of these points do you remember? You remember many points, do you not? The list of the importance of the self is such a long list. So, all of you are very clever in knowing this. All of you are clever, are you not? Then, why is there a difference in having this experience? Because you are not stable on the seat of that stage at the right time. If you are set on your seat, no weak sanskars, no souls, no matter or any type of royal Maya is able to upset you. Even physically, in terms of the body, many souls do not have the practice of sitting still in one seat or one place. So, what do they do? What would they do? They would keep on moving about. In the same way, when the mind and intellect do not know how to set themselves on the seat of any one experience, then, one moment they will be set, and the next moment they will be upset. The seat for the body is a physical place and the seat for the mind and intellect is the elevated stage. So, BapDada continues to watch this game of the children. One minute, you stabilise yourself in the experience of a good stage, and the next minute, you fluctuate in your stage. Little children who are very mischievous are not able to remain stable in one place for long. Some children play these childhood games a great deal. If you look at them, one minute they are very concentrated, and the next minute instead of being concentrated, they will be wandering through many different stages. Therefore, at this time, you need to pay special attention so that the mind and intellect remain constantly concentrated.

The power of concentration easily frees you from obstacles so that there is no need to labour. The power of concentration constantly gives you the experience of belonging to one Father and none other. The power of concentration easily enables you to create a constant stage. The power of concentration easily enables you to have the constant attitude of benevolence for all. The power of concentration naturally creates the vision of brotherhood towards all. The power of concentration makes you easily experience love, regard and respectful behaviour in your relations with every soul. So, what do you wish to do now? What attention must you maintain? Concentration. You become stable and you have that experience, but you are not concentrated on your experience. You constantly tour around in three stages: sometimes your experience is elevated, sometimes of the middle level, and sometimes of the ordinary level. Become so powerful that your mind and intellect remain constantly under your orders, so they do not fluctuate for a second even in your dreams. The mind should not bring its master under the influence of others.

The sign of a soul under another influence is that such a soul will not be able to experience happiness, comfort or bliss even when he wants to for that period of time. Brahmin souls should never come under the influence of another; not even under the influence of their own sanskars or weak nature. In fact, the meaning of one's nature (swabhav) is feelings (bhav) for the self (swa). The feelings for the self are always good, not bad. What do you remember when you say ‘swa’ (the self)? You remember your form of the soul, do you not? So swabhav (nature) means to have soul­conscious feelings for the self and for everyone else. Whenever you think of your nature or your sanskars while under the influence of your weaknesses ­ such as that your sanskars and your nature are like that, "What can I do? My nature is like that," ­ then what type of a soul is saying this? These are the words and thoughts of a soul under an external influence. So whenever you think that your nature is like that, stabilise yourself in the elevated meaning of the word. If your sanskars come in front of you, then ask yourself: Are these the sanskars of me, a special soul, that I am saying that these are my sanskars? Because you call them your sanskars, because of having the consciousness of ‘mine’ you do not let go of even weak sanskars. It is a law that where there is the consciousness of ‘mine’, there is the feeling of belonging, and where there is the feeling of belonging, there is a right. So you have made weak sanskars your own, and so they do not let go of their right. Therefore, while being under another influence you keep requesting the Father to set you free. When you use the word ‘sanskar’, remember that your sanskars are the original and eternal sanskars. Those are the sanskars of Maya, not your own. So, with the power of concentration, transform the stage of being under another influence and become set on the seat of the stage of a master.

When you sit in yoga, all of you sit with interest, but there is a need to have the stage of concentrating in a particular stage for as long as you want. So, what do you have to do now? What aspect will you underline? (Concentration). Within concentration there is determination and where there is determination success will become the garland around the neck. Achcha.

To the special souls of the alokik Brahmin world everywhere, to the souls who constantly remain set on the seat of the experience of an elevated stage, to the souls who constantly experience the importance of the self, to those who constantly make the mind and intellect stable with the power of concentration, to those with the power of concentration who attain success easily with determination, to the most elevated, the most special and most loved souls, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.

Personal meeting with Avyakt BapDada:

In order to go into the flying stage, become double­light. No form of attraction should attract you. According to the present time, do all of you experience yourselves to be flying at a fast speed? Is the speed of time fast or is the speed of the effort of souls fast? Is time behind you or are you moving along according to the time? You are not waiting for time, thinking that everything will be fine by the end, that you will become complete then and that you will become equal to the Father then, are you? You do not think that, do you? According to the drama, the present time is moving very fast. It is going into the extreme. Whatever it was yesterday, today it is even more extreme than that. You know this, do you not? Just as time is going into its extreme, in the same way, are you elevated souls also going so intensely, that is, at such a fast speed in your efforts? Or, are you sometimes slack and sometimes fast? It should not be that you come down and then you go up. Those who keep going up and down cannot have a fast and steady speed. So, you are those who always fly in every situation at an elevated and fast speed. It is remembered: There is benefit for everyone due to the stage of ascent. However, what would you say now? There is benefit for everyone due to the flying stage. The time for the stage of ascent has also now finished. It is now the time for the flying stage. If, at the time of the flying stage, someone wants to reach somewhere with the stage of ascent, would he be able to reach there? No. So, let there always be the flying stage. The sign of the flying stage is to be always double­light. If you are not double­light, you cannot have the flying stage. The slightest burden will bring you down. When travelling by plane, if there is the slightest bit of rubbish in the machinery or in the petrol, what would be its condition? The plane would come down from the flying stage into the falling stage. So, here, too, if there is any type of burden, whether of your sanskars, of any type of atmosphere or of any relationship or connection with any soul, then, from the flying stage, you would come into upheaval. You would say, “I am fine, but because of this reason, there is the bondage of this sanskar, person, atmosphere. No matter what the reason may be, intense effort­makers would cross all situations in such a way as though it is nothing. They would not experience it to be labour, but entertainment. Such a stage is called the flying stage. So, do you have the flying stage? Or, do you sometimes desire to come down and tour around? There should not be attachment to anything. No attraction should attract you even slightly. A rocket is able to fly high when it goes beyond the pull of the gravity of Earth. Otherwise, it is not able to fly high. It would come down even when it doesn’t want to. Any form of attraction will not allow you to go up. It will not allow you to become perfect. So check: No attraction should attract you even in your thoughts. Apart from the Father, there should be no other attraction. What do the Pandavas think? Become such intense effort­makers. You have to become that, do you not? How many times have you become that? You have become that countless times. Have you become that or has someone else become that? You have become that. You are not going to be numberwise, are you? You are going to claim number one, are you not? What will the mothers do? Will you claim number one or will numberwise be all right? Will the 108th number be all right? Will you become the 108th number or number one? Now that you belong to the Father and have claimed a right, are you going to claim the full inheritance or a little less? Then you will become number one, will you not? When the Bestower is giving fully but those who are receiving take a little less, what would you say? This is why you have to become number one. Even if there is only one who is number one, there are many in the number one division. So, you mustn’t come in the second number. If you are going to claim something, claim it fully. Many who do not claim fully will follow later. However, you are going to claim fully. Are all of you those who will claim fully? Or will you be happy by receiving just a little? Since the treasure­store is open and it is limitless, why should you take any less? It is unlimited, is it not? If it were limited and someone were to receive 8,000 and another was to receive 10,000, then it would be said that that is all they have in their fortune. However, the Father’s treasure­store is open and limitless; you can take as much as you want. Even then, it is infinite. You are the masters of the infinite treasure. You are the children who are the masters. So, all of you are those who will always remain happy, are you not? Or do waves of sorrow come sometimes? Waves of sorrow cannot come to you even in your dreams. Let alone in your thoughts, they cannot come even in your dreams. This is known as being number one. So, what wonders will you show? All of you will definitely claim number one, will you not?

Delhi is said to be the heart. The body functions according to how the heart is. The basis is the heart, is it not? The heart is the heart of the Comforter of Hearts. The seat of the heart has to be accurate; it cannot fluctuate. You have the intoxication of being the heart of the Comforter of Hearts, do you not? So now, transform the self and the world with your elevated thoughts. As soon as you have a thought, you put it into action. It should not be that you think a lot. You say that you think a lot, but very little actually happens. Such souls are not intense effort­makers. An intense effort­maker means that your thoughts and actions are the same. Only then would you be said to be equal to the Father. You are happy and you will always remain happy. You have this firm faith, do you not? Only those who remain happy are fortunate. Is this firm? Or do you become a little weak in this? Do you like something that is unripe? You like something that is ripe, so remain very firm.

Every day at amrit vela, make this lesson firm: No matter what happens, you will remain happy and make others happy. OK, do not show any other games. Just show this game; do not play other games. Achcha.
