"Avyakt BapDada"

Today BapDada is seeing the account of the treasures of all the children everywhere. Each child has received countless imperishable treasures. You have the guarantee of them for many births - you have them with you now, and you will have them with you in the future.

So, today, BapDada is seeing to what extent you have accumulated the most elevated treasure, the basis of all other treasures, the treasure of thoughts. The elevated thoughts of all of you were the foundation of Brahmin life. Thought is very powerful - through it, you can reach paramdham in less than a second - you can go wherever you want - you can be close to whoever you want - you can adopt any stage you want. With one second’s thought “I am an elevated soul”, you will have an elevated stage and an elevated experience. The moment you have a weak thought, your happiness disappears. When you sit in remembrance, you create a stage based on your thoughts: “I am a point”, “I am an angel”. Thoughts are powerful!

Thoughts are also the basis of knowledge. I am a soul, not a body - this is the thought that you have. Throughout the day you have pure thoughts. Thoughts are the basis for churning the knowledge. Thoughts are the basis for dharna - when you imbibe something, you give your mind and intellect the thought. Plans for service are based on pure thoughts. So, thoughts are the most special and elevated treasure of Brahmin life. Use this treasure in a worthwhile way, and your actions throughout the day remain very good.

When you waste your treasure of thoughts, you are not able to create the stage you want to. Waste thoughts weaken your intellect and your stage. The speed of waste thoughts is very fast. All of you experience waste thoughts, not sinful thoughts, but waste thoughts. Because of their speed you are not able to control them. The sign of waste thoughts is distress, loss of happiness and pleasure, and an upset mind. Many of you are not aware why your stage has become like it is. You look at gross factors and cannot se any mistake, and miss the subtle mistake of wasting your thoughts. Just as you do not see physical illness in its minor form - it is only visible when it has grown into a major form - so, in the same way, you miss the growth of wastage. Sin is different - you see it very clearly. But there isn’t much checking of wastage. And you are better at checking others than at checking the self.

Brahma Baba is said to be the incarnation of economy. Are you this too? Do you know how to economise, or only how to spend? Don’t think “it is O.K. - it was only two minutes” - how many thoughts did you have? Use your power to control, and save them. If you cannot save something, then transform it into a powerful thought, and slow it down. The treasure of elevated thoughts is the basis for creating an elevated reward. Just like physical wealth, if you have not accumulated it, then you will be deceived at the time of need - when you have a big test the mind and intellect will seem empty - there is no power. So learn how to accumulate.

The face and activity of those who have an account of accumulation are constantly, visibly, overflowing - sparkling with happiness. BapDada sees everyone’s poses - he sees that you do not take much time in performing and action, but you waste a lot of time in repenting for actions already performed. Repentance should bring about transformation - but don’t take a long time over it. It is good to repent, but then experience the happiness of attainment and future attainment. Limit your repentance. BapDada does not like your crying, but he is pleased with an honest heart. Those who are not afraid to tell the truth - who have a true heart - are worthy of double love from the Father. But as well as being honest, bring about transformation quickly. If something is wring, san “not” and apply the “dot”.

If you control your thoughts, you will not have to make effort to control anything else. Words and actions follow on from thoughts. If you are going to get angry with someone, you first create plans in your mind. Saving your thoughts will automatically save your words and your time.

Now you are making plans to celebrate the diamond jubilee. On this diamond jubilee the real spiritual diamonds should be visibly sparkling everywhere, so that everyone is able to experience which type of sparkle this is. Diamonds do sparkle. Even if you hide them in the mud, they do not lose their sparkle. Wherever there is an ignited light, it will attract your vision. There are so many of you sparkling diamonds spread around the whole world, and you should show your sparkle to the whole world.

At present the power of your mind is being wasted - you are not using it for anything useful. When you are able to save it, it will be used in a worthwhile way. Then, whilst walking and moving around, you will experience yourself to be a lighthouse and a might-house. The lighthouse does not go to each one individually, but from a distance it signals the right direction. When all of you sparkling diamonds become lighthouses and might-houses, there will be no more darkness in the world. You are diamonds, and now your sparkle should be visible. The sign of a real diamond is that its sparkle will spread far, just as when a light is lit, it spreads everywhere. Your companions should be able to feel your vibrations, that yes, this one is sparkling. You are the light for the darkness.

Do not come into too much sound. Remain in solitude - be lost in the depths of One - go into the depths. Those who speak throughout the day waste their treasures of thought and time. Be economical with all treasures.

To the souls everywhere who are the true, spiritual diamonds - to the special souls who are constantly the incarnation of economy - to the souls who constantly remember the One and have love for solitude - to the sparkling diamonds who spread their light to the whole world through their vibrations and attitude - BapDada’s love, remembrances and namaste.
