"The basis for revelation is a firm promise."

Today, Almighty Baba is celebrating a meeting with His almighty children. Almighty Baba has given as a birthright to every child the treasures of total awareness, that is, the treasure of all the powers, as soon as they took Brahmin birth. Each Brahmin soul claims this right, becomes complete and also makes others complete. BapDada has given total awareness to every child very easily within a second. How did He give it to you? He reminded you within a second. So the awareness became the key for total power. You remembered, "My Baba", and Baba said: "My child". So Baba gave this spiritual awareness, that is, the key to all treasures within a second. You accepted Baba as yours and you claimed the complete birthright. So you received it easily, did you not? Or was it difficult? It was easy, was it not? Now, each Brahmin soul says with faith and intoxication: Baba's treasures are my treasures. You have made Baba's treasures your own. Today is said to be the day of special remembrance. This day of remembrance is the day for giving total power to the children. In fact, the day of Brahmin birth is the day for attaining total power. However, there is special importance to this day of remembrance. Do you know what this importance is? Today, on the day of remembrance, Brahma Baba made himself avyakt. In the physical, corporeal form, he willed special will­power to the special children in order to reveal them to the world. Just as in the beginning, he willed himself, all his relationships and all his wealth to the shaktis for the sake of service, in the same way, on this day of remembrance, Brahma Baba, through the corporeal form in the corporeal world, willed all the will­power to the children, to the Shakti Army, in order for them to play their corporeal part, for the sake of world service. He himself adopted the form of an avyakt, incognito server and made the children instruments for world benefit in the corporeal form. That is, in the corporeal form, he willed the will­power for service. This is why this day is called the day of remembrance, the day of power. Do you understand? On the basis of that remembrance, BapDada is seeing that in this land and in foreign lands, children in all four directions are becoming instruments and are continuing and will continue to progress in service, because the children have a special trimurti blessing. You have the blessing of Father Shiva anyway, but as well as that, you also have the blessing of father Brahma, the bestower of fortune and together with that, you also have the blessing of the sweet versions of the mother, Jagadamba, Saraswati. This is why with the trimurti blessing, you are experiencing the right to easy success. As you progress, there will be the experience of easy methods and elevated success.

In all four directions, there is the zeal and enthusiasm to reveal BapDada and that there should be revelation very soon. This is what everyone wants, is it not? When will it happen? Should it happen tomorrow that whilst sitting here, you hear the bugles of revelation? It has already happened, but what do you simply have to do? You are doing it and you have to do it. In order to blow the bugles of complete revelation, you must just do one thing; not even two, just one. What is that one thing? You children are the basis for bringing about revelation, and children have to especially underline one thing, because the balance between revelation and a promise is the basis for all souls to receive blessings from BapDada. You make a promise every day. You do make a promise, do you not? So why is there a delay in the revelation? It should happen now, should it not? So BapDada saw that you make a promise with your heart and with love, but what is it? You do make a promise, but one is a promise and the other is a firm pledge. What is the sign of a firm pledge? You may die but you cannot break your pledge. When it is a question of life, then no matter how many small problems arise or how fearsome the circumstances may be from time to time, what are all of these in front of a question of life? So this is called a firm pledge. No matter what the circumstances are, the external circumstances cannot make the stage of the self fluctuate.

At any time, in any situation, you cannot be defeated, but you will become the garland around the neck. You will become part of the rosary of victory. You will become the decoration around God's neck. This is called a firm thought, that is, a firm pledge. So you have to underline the word "firm". To make a promise means to give the practical proof. But at present, sometimes some children make a promise and together with that, they also play a very good game. You must have understood by now. You have become very sensible. So what games do you play? When any problems or circumstances come that become an excuse to make your promise weak, instead of solving that, you play many games of giving excuses. You are very clever in this. What is the language of giving excuses?" It wasn't like that, it was like this." "If it hadn't happened in this way, it would be like that." "This one said this, this one did this." "The circumstances were such, the situation was like that." So, "Like this and like that, etc.", is the language of giving excuses. And the language of a firm pledge is, "Whether it is like this or like that, I have to become like the father." "I have to become", "I do not have to make others this, I have to become." It shouldn't be: "I will only be good if others do this." "If others give co­operation, only then will I become complete, only then will I become perfect." Instead of receiving in this way, to become the master bestowers and give co­operation, love and sympathy is in fact receiving. Remember: the meaning of Brahmin life is: To give is to receive. The receiving is merged in the giving. This is why the basis of a firm pledge is to see the self, to change the self and to maintain yourself­respect. The self­respect is of being a master bestower. What will you do in this Avyakt Year? Will you go from Madhuban having made a promise, and then when you return home, will you play the game of giving excuses? Instead of your promise being firm, there is one main reason for the promise being weak or for your being loose in fulfilling that promise. For instance, no matter how big any machinery may be, if even one tiny screw becomes loose, it makes the whole machine useless. In order to fulfil such a promise, you make very good plans and you also make a lot of effort. However, the screw which makes your plans and effort weak is carelessness. That comes in different forms; it constantly comes in new forms. It does not come in the old form. Tighten this loose screw of carelessness. It shouldn't be: "This happens anyway". "No, this has to happen." "This happens anyway. This will do." This is carelessness. "It will happen. Just wait and see. Have this faith. Dadi, Didi, have faith in me, it will happen." It shouldn't be: "It will happen, it happens anyway." You definitely have to become like the father. You have to become that now, not at some future time, now.

There is a third reason for making a firm promise weak. Previously also, you were told something amusing, how some children have very weak short­ sightedness whereas their long­sight is very sharp. The short­sight is to see the self and to change the self, and the long­sight is to see others. And what do you see in that? You see weaknesses and not specialities. This is why there is a difference in the zeal and enthusiasm of their determination. "Even the seniors do this. We are the little ones." So the long­sighted vision of seeing weaknesses deceives you. Because of this, you are not able to put the promise into a practical form. Do you understand what you have to do? So now, do you know how to tighten your screw or not? You have the screwdriver of understanding, do you not? You have all the tools, do you not? So in this year, make all these three the same: to understand, to have the wish to do something, and to actually do it. It shouldn't be that you understand, that you wish to do something, but then you say: "What can I do?" To make all three the same means to become like the father. If BapDada tells everyone to give it in writing, in how much time will you write it? In a second. It is easy to write; to write on a piece of paper is not a big thing. Write on your forehead with the ink of determined thoughts. Do you know how to write or not? Do all of you know how to write? Do you know how to write on your forehead, or do you only know how to write on a piece of paper? Did all of you write?

Those who wrote, raise your hand! Was it firm? It wasn't weak, was it? That it can be erased in two days? Look, there are complaints that sometimes you make a weak promise. You have to fulfil it. Even if you die, you must not break your pledge. Only such a determined thought will easily make you the same as the father. Otherwise, sometimes there is labour and sometimes there is love and you will continue to play these games.

Today, although all the children in this land and abroad are physically there (at their own places), in their mind, they are in Madhuban. This is why BapDada saw the alokik experiences of everyone on the day of remembrance. You have had very good experiences. You have also done service. Baba is congratulating each child for their alokik experiences and their service. The pure thoughts of everyone, their sweet heart­to­heart conversation and the garland of the pearls of love have reached BapDada. In return, BapDada is also putting a garland of love around the neck of all the children. Each child must accept special, personal love and remembrances by name. BapDada has such a powerful, spiritual wireless set, that the sound in the heart of each child reaches BapDada at the same time. Not only does the sound reach Baba, but even the loving face of each one emerges in front of Baba. This is why, seeing all the children personally in front of Him, Baba is giving special love and remembrances. Achcha.

To all the powerful souls; to the elevated souls who keep a balance between a firm pledge and revelation; to the children who are the same as the father, who constantly make all three the same: to understand, to have the wish to do something and to actually do it; to the victorious jewels who constantly defeat problems and become the garland around God's neck, Almighty BapDada's love, remembrances and namaste.

Avyakt BapDada meeting the Dadis: Achcha, all of you are worthy of both the wills: the will of the beginning, and the will at the end of the corporeal form. You have received will­power, have you not? Together with the effort of the self, the will­power received in the will gives extra help in carrying out the task. As the visible fruit of your courage, you became worthy of receiving multi­million fold help. Many think: Why did these souls become instruments? The significance of this is that the visible fruit of having had special courage at that specific time became the fruit for all time. This is why it is remembered: When you take one step of courage, you receive multi­million steps of help from the Father. This is why you have attained will­power in the form of a will in order to constantly overcome everything. It is like this, is it not? All of you are also companions. You are fulfilling the responsibility very well. Baba also fulfils His promise of giving co­operation at every moment to those who fulfil their responsibility. So what is this entire group? Those who fulfil. Who are all of you? You are those who fulfil, are you not? Or, are you those who simply have love? There are many who have love, but only a few who fulfil the responsibility of it. So in which category are all of you? You are the handful out of multi­millions and the selected few out of the handful. In the world, there is upheaval, and what are you doing? You are enjoying yourselves with pleasure. They are confused: What should we do? What is to happen? And you are celebrating with pleasure that everything will be good. There is so much difference! In the world, they have questions at every moment as to what will happen. And what do you have? Full­stop. Whatever happened was good, and whatever is to happen is good for us. For the world, it is untimely death, whereas for you, it is pleasure. Are you afraid? Will you be afraid when you see a little blood? Will you be afraid when seven or eight people are shot in front of you? You will not see that in your sleep too, will you? Shakti Army means to be fearless. You have no fear of Maya and no fear of the upheaval of the elements. Are you fearless to this extent? Or, are you still a little weak? Achcha.
