"The personality of Brahmin life is to go beyond all questions and tobe constantly satisfied."

Today, BapDada, the Bestower of all attainment, is seeing all His children who are the embodiment of complete attainment. You have had a lot of attainment from BapDada, and if you were to make a list of it, it would be a very long list, and so, instead of speaking about the long list, you simply say: Nothing is lacking in this Brahmin life. So BapDada is seeing that you have a lot of attainment. You have attained a lot, have you not? It is a long list, is it not? What would be the sign in practical life of someone who has all attainments? You know this, do you not? The sign of all attainments is that the personality of satisfaction would be constantly visible on their face and in their activity. If anything attracts someone, it is their personality. So, the sign of all attainments is the personality of satisfaction, which can also be called contentment. However, the sparkle of satisfaction should be visible on their faces; not that sometimes, they are satisfied and sometimes they have questions, no. There are two types of children: one type are those who are the embodiment of questions who ask "Why? What? How? When?" as soon as a situation arises. These are the ones who are the embodiment of questions, and the other type are those who are constantly the embodiment of attainments, that is, they are totally satisfied. They would never have any questions in any aspect. They are complete with all attainment. So the questions of "Why? What?" cause fluctuation, and those who are complete never have any fluctuation. Something that is empty can have some fluctuation. So, ask yourself whether you constantly remain satisfied. Do I constantly remain satisfied? Not just sometimes, but constantly? Would those who are ten years in gyan be this constantly or not? You are not saying yes. Are you still thinking about it? If there is a lack of satisfaction, it means there is a lack of attainment and a lack of attainment means there is one or another desire still remaining. The foundation of desire is jealousy and lack of attainment. Very subtle desires pull you towards lack of attainment and then in a royal language, you say: It isn't my desire, but if it happens, it would be good. However, where there are temporary desires, there cannot be anything good there. So check in your life on the path of knowledge, whether there are desires of a royal form or whether there are gross desires. It has been seen that gross desires are now finished, but even after knowledge, royal desires in a subtle form still remain. So check these. Why?

BapDada now wishes to make all the children complete and perfect, the same as the Father. Whoever you have love for, it is not difficult to become the same as that one. So do all of you have a lot of love or just love for BapDada? Do you have a lot of love or do you simply have love? What is it? (A lot of love.) Are you sure? So is it a big thing to renounce something or to transform something out of love? It isn't. So have you had complete renunciation? Have you done what Baba has asked you to do and what He desires? All the time? It will not do to just do this sometimes. Do you wish to claim the fortune of the kingdom for all time or for just some time? You wish to claim it for all time, do you not? So there should constantly be satisfaction; no other feeling should be visible on your face or in your activity. Sometimes, it is said: Today, this sister's or this brother's mood is different. You say this, do you not? You yourself also sometimes say: Today, my mood is different. What would you call this? Was there constant satisfaction? Many children experience satisfaction (prashanta) on the basis of their praise (prashansa), however, that satisfaction is temporary. Today, they would have that satisfaction, but after some time, it would finish. Also check, that your satisfaction is not based on any praise. This is like nowadays, when constructing buildings, they use a little bit more sand than cement, in that, the foundation is mixed; it is not accurate. Then, if there is the slightest storm of any adverse situation or any type of fluctuation, it finishes your satisfaction. You do not have such a foundation, do you?

BapDada has told you earlier also, and is underlining it now, that the royal form of desire is of name, regard and honour. You may take the support of service, and wish your name to be glorified in service. However, those who do service chasing after a name, in that, they are very serviceable and attract others very well, have their name glorified for only a temporary period. Those who do service on the basis of earning a name make their name go to the back of the list of those who are to claim a high status, because they eat unripe, not ripe fruit. So, how can you eat ripe fruit if you have already eaten unripe fruit? You did service and earned a name; this is unripe fruit. Or, you have a desire: I did a lot of service, and I am an instrument for maximum service. So, those who do service on the basis of earning a name are those who eat unripe fruit. Can there be any strength in unripe fruit? You think: I did so much service, and so as a result, I should receive regard. This is not regard, but arrogance. Where there is arrogance, there cannot be any satisfaction. The greatest honour is to attain honour in BapDada's heart. Even if you receive honour in the hearts of other souls, those souls themselves are those who receive or master bestowers, not, the Bestower. So if you wish to receive honour, then attain your honour in BapDada's heart constantly. All those royal desires do not allow you to become the embodiment of attainment, and therefore, the personality of satisfaction is not constantly visible on your face and in your activity. If, in any situation, your mood of satisfaction changes, then that is not permanent satisfaction. The mood of Brahmin life is to constantly be cheerful and careful; your mood should not change. However, in royal words, you say: Today, I want solitude. Why do you need this? You desire to step away from doing service or being with the family, and instead, you say that you want peace and solitude. Today, my mood is like this. So, do not change your moods. There may be any reason, but are you those who change the reason into a solution or those who get caught up by the reasons? You are those who find solutions. What contract have you made? You are contractors, are you not? So what contract have you made? That you will change the mood of the elements. You also have to change the elements. So, can those who change the elements not change their mood? Do you change your moods or not? Do you sometimes change your moods? You then say that you would like to go and sit by the ocean; not the Ocean of Knowledge, but a physical ocean. Foreigners say this, do they not? Or you would say: I don't know why, but today, I feel very lonely. So where did the combined form of the Father go? Did you separate Him from yourself? You become separated from being combined: is this called love? In fact, being in an "off­mood" is something very serious, but even to keep changing your moods is not good. Those who have an off­mood show a variety of games. BapDada sees that they show many games to their seniors and even their companions. Do not play such games, because, BapDada has a lot of love for the children and for everyone. It is not that BapDada wishes just the special instrument souls to become the same as the Father and is not concerned whether others become this or not; no. BapDada has to make everyone the same as He is. This is BapDada's love. Do you know how to give the response of love? Do you give a return of this through your mischievous games? Sometimes, you show mischievous games and sometimes you show the response by being equal. Now, that time is finished.

You are now celebrating the Diamond Jubilee, are you not? After sixty years, you generally start the age of retirement. You are no longer small children, but are in the stage of retirement, that is, you are experienced souls, knowledge­full, powerful and successful. Are you knowledge­full? Are you powerful? Are you successful? Sometimes or always? So, just as you are constantly knowledge­full, so too, become powerful and successful in the same way. Those who are successful never have any questions. What is the reason for this? In fact, success is the birthright of all of you. You say this, do you not? Do you just say it or do you also believe it? So why do you not experience success, what is the reason for this, since it is your birthright? It is your birthright, is it not? Shaktis sitting at the back, speak; do you have this right? Are you sure?

So why are you lacking in attaining this right and experiencing it? What is the reason for this? BapDada has seen that the majority of you allow weak thoughts to emerge in advance: I don't know if this will happen or not? These weak thoughts of yours do not allow you to become an embodiment of satisfaction, but they make you an embodiment of questions. "Will it happen? Will it not happen? What will happen? I don't know if..." These thoughts become a wall, and success gets hidden behind this wall. Your slogan is: One who has faith in the intellect is victorious. Is this the slogan of those who are ten years in gyan? Are you sure? Since this is the slogan of this time, not of the future, since this is the slogan for the present time, what should you remain at all times? Satisfied or full of questions? So Maya spreads a web of your own weak thoughts and you become trapped in your own web. Finish the web of weak thoughts with the awareness, "I am victorious". Do not become trapped in it, but finish it. Do you have the power to finish it? Do not finish it gradually, but do it instantly. Do not allow this web to grow. Once you become trapped in this web, it is very difficult to come out of it. Victory is my birthright. Success is my birthright. This birthright is a Godly birthright which no one can snatch away from me. Those who have such faith in the intellect would constantly easily and automatically remain satisfied; they would not need to work hard for this.

The second reason for lack of success: in fact, you yourselves tell others to use their time, thoughts and wealth in a worthwhile way. To use in a worthwhile way means to attain success. The foundation of success is to use everything in a worthwhile way. If you do not attain success, then it is because you are not using one or another treasure in a worthwhile way, and this is why you don't attain success. There are many treasures and you know the list of all treasures, do you not? So check which treasure you did not use in a worthwhile way and just wasted. Then you will automatically attain success. This is an inheritance and also a blessing. Use everything in a worthwhile way and attain success. Do you know how to use everything in a worthwhile way? Do you know how to use everything in a worthwhile way, yes or no? Do you then attain success? To use in a worthwhile way is the seed and success is its fruit. If the seed is good, then it is not possible that you do not attain any fruit from it. There must be something lacking in the seed of using everything in a worthwhile way, and therefore, you do not attain the fruit of success. So what do you have to do? Constantly maintain your personality of satisfaction. Those who are satisfied will have very good experiences. In fact, when you see someone who is satisfied, they seem so beautiful. It feels so good to be in their company and to sit and talk to them. And if someone who asks many questions were to come, you would become distressed. So keep the aim of what it is that you have to become. Not to be one who asks many questions, but one who is satisfied.

Today is the last day of the season and so what is done on the last day? When anyone creates a sacrificial fire, what do they do on the last day? They sacrifice everything. So what will you do? Sacrifice being the embodiment of questions. Why does this happen? What is happening? No. Since you are knowledge­full, there shouldn't be any questions about why or what. So from today, sacrifice all these wasteful questions. Your time and the time of others will also be saved. The time of the Dadis is also spent in this: why is this like this? What is this? How is this possible? So save this time. Save your own time and also that of others. Accumulate in your savings account. Then eat and live in comfort for twenty­one births. You will not have to accumulate anything there. So have you sacrificed or will you still think about it? If you wish to think about it, you may do so. Ask yourself: How will this be possible? Will I have to do this or not? Just think about this for one minute. Complete this task very well. Ask yourself as many questions as you want in one minute. Have you asked yourself? Did you also sacrifice them, or did you just ask the questions? Did you finish all questions for the future? Have you finished them? Do not just say "yes" for the sake of it.

You have the experience over a long period of time, that to ask questions means to be distressed and to distress others, so maintain the honour of your faith and your birthright and you will not be distressed. You have this experience, do you not? You have experienced this very well, have you not? When you go beyond this honour then you become distressed. Did you understand this clearly? Or will you say that you understand it now and when you return abroad say that it is difficult? It is not like this, is it? Achcha.

(Those who have been following gyan for ten years or more are sitting in front of BapDada today.) All these who are ten years in gyan are sitting here, did you have a ceremony? BapDada is happy to see the mahavirs who are ten year sin gyan, and is congratulating them, and giving them a blessing: May you constantly be free from obstacles. Just as, by having courage, keeping Baba's company and holding onto His hand, you have remained strong for ten years, in the same way, keep courage as your companion. Do not ever let go of your courage. Where there is courage, the Father is also present. BapDada is happy that even whilst living amidst many attractive places, whilst belonging to a different religion and having a different culture, the double foreigners are moving along within the Brahmin culture. You have shown a very good sample of your courage. Seeing your sample, many souls will take benefit. Therefore, congratulations for your courage and also congratulations for the service done through your courage. BapDada is happy to see all of you. Achcha.

(BapDada met souls from different countries by asking them to raise their hands.) Those from Europe, raise your hands! Achcha, BapDada heard the good news of those from Australia. You have kept courage and made good plans for service and are also buying a retreat place. So how many arms does Australia have? (13) Those who are in connection with Australia, i.e. those from Asia, raise your hands! There are 13 arms, so what will the arms do? What do arms do? They give co­operation. So what will these 13 arms do? Will you simply be happy on seeing and hearing about everything? Is it like that? No. All arms, according to their capacity, have to give a return of service to the residents of Australia. You (Asia) take sustenance from them. So it is your duty to give a return of that sustenance. Do you understand? You are good. The group from Asia is very good. Asia is also very close. India is also included in Asia. The headquarters are in Asia. So, those from Asia should have extra intoxication that BapDada comes into Asia. BapDada does not come to London nor does He come to America. BapDada loves Asia. The praise of Europe is its own and the praise of Asia is its own. Europe is the foundation of all double foreigners. Service first started in Europe. Call it the U.K. or Europe, but BapDada had to come into Asia. Achcha.

Those from North and South America, raise your hands! Only those who are ten years in gyan, raise your hands! Those from Africa, raise your hands!

In fact, there must be many, but this group received this chance. This is also your luck. It is good. There are many Pandavs. Multimillion fold congratulations from BapDada and the family to all those who are ten years in gyan. Achcha.

Do you have the question as to what will happen next season? You may ask this question, because it is a useful question. It is not a wasteful question. So according to the drama, it is BapDada's plan that this year is the Diamond Jubilee year, there is very good zeal and enthusiasm for the service of the Diamond Jubilee in this land and abroad, and it will remain very good. It has to happen. Achcha. Therefore, this year, you may do as much service as you want. This year, whether in Bharat or in the foreign lands, many children, according to their capacity, have a lot of zeal and enthusiasm to have large programmes. And of course, when you hold large programmes, you invite the seniors. It is BapDada's plan that where there are worthy programmes, the Dadis may attend. But it should not be that the Dadis should attend just the inauguration of a new building, but they can attend worthy programmes that are connected with the Diamond Jubilee, but.

There is a but. All of you have a lot of love for the health of the Dadis, do you not? Or do you just have love for service? Do you have love for their health as well as service? What is it? You have love for both, do you not? Therefore, you should consider everything and think carefully before you invite them. You should not force them to come. Because, if they don't come, you get upset and start crying. Do not do this. All of you are the masters of the yagya, of your own home. You should not think that you are still young and that you do not know anything because you are just in your own home; no. You are responsible for the world. Yesterday, you had worn a crown, had you not? It was a crown of responsibility. Achcha, all those who had worn a crown, raise your hands! What crown did you wear? That of leaves? You had worn the crown of responsibility. Whenever you organise any programmes, then also consider the yagya. Why is it that Madhuban attracts you even today? Your centres have gyan and yoga, so why is it that Madhuban attracts you? Because, it is Brahma Baba's place of tapasya and where he created his stage. The instrument Dadis also have to consider the atmosphere of the yagya and the activities of the yagya. And all of you are also responsible. All those who come to Madhuban are happy with the atmosphere there, what is the reason for this? The place is influenced by the stage of the seniors. So, also consider this, because the atmosphere of yagya (of Madhuban) spreads in all directions. All of you receive power from Madhuban. Arrange your programmes after the activities, service and atmosphere of Madhuban, as well as the health of the Dadis have all been considered. When you invite someone to come and their programme is later cancelled, this affects your stage a lot, therefore, carefully consider everything first, be knowledge­full and responsible and then arrange the programmes. Do you understand? BapDada is giving full freedom to do service this season. However, sometimes, there is a tug of war between BapDada's season and invitations for service elsewhere. Therefore, this coming season, if Shantivan is ready in December and is inaugurated, then we will have a programme of both the foreigners and the Bharatwasis meeting BapDada together. Foreigners would live above (Madhuban, Gyan Sarovar) and the Bharatwasis would live below and so there would be a chance for both. Would you foreigners stay down below? You would have to sleep on the floor. You would need space to make your suitcases into pillows. So this season, that is, in BapDada's next season, BapDada would come in December. After that, also on 18th January for Bharatwasis. BapDada would also come for third time on Shiv Ratri for the foreigners, and if arrangements are feasible, then there would be a mela at the beginning of April for both foreigners as well as Bharatwasis. So, this is the plan for the next season. Each one can do service to their hearts content. And, by giving proper attention everywhere, Dadis also may go on tour, but first you must consider your own health and then service. Do not push yourself too much. Now, there is still plenty of time, and so according to this, you may go on tours. Secondly, for the refreshment of Brahmins, BapDada has already told you to practice being karmateet, that is, practice being bodiless, so, hold gatherings of different groups of Brahmins. Create a different programme for every month so that service can take place and there can also be refreshment for Brahmins. But do not push yourself thinking that you have to go abroad in the same year. Make your programmes comfortable. Now, there is plenty of time in the future, therefore, in this year or in this season, plan one tour abroad, and then another tour some other time. So let there be a comfortable balance of service and the health of the Dadis. Do you understand? So this is the plan for the next season, and then we shall see in the future. Because at the present time, whether in this land or abroad, there will be upheavals. So, make the most of the opportunities you get for service. Do you understand? (Drill.)

Have you made the lesson of becoming bodiless in one second firm? Go into expansion one moment and merge yourself into the essence in the next. (BapDada made them perform the drill.) Achcha, constantly keep this practice with you.

To all the souls in all directions who transform themselves from being the embodiment of questions; to the elevated souls who constantly have the personality of being satisfied; to the special souls who are the embodiment of awareness of their victory and their birthright; to the souls close to the Father who use everything in a worthwhile way and thereby easily attain success, BapDada's love, remembrances and namaste.

To the double foreign children in all directions who are over ten years in gyan, special congratulations and love and remembrances to them.

BapDada meeting the Dadis: BapDada constantly has the thought for you instrument souls who are the crown of the family: "May you live eternally, may you constantly fly and make others fly." You are making your body work with the power of tapasya, and BapDada has even more concern than you have. Therefore, now, according to the time, do not have fast tours. Go comfortably and come back comfortably. Now, situations of the world are also changing fast. BapDada is not forbidding you to do service, but maintain a balance. The life of everyone is in your bodies. If the body is well, then good service can take place. Therefore, do a lot of service, but do not push yourself. What happens when you push yourself too much? The battery becomes low. Therefore, from now on, it is essential to keep a balance. Do not think: Let me do it this year, because I do not know what is going to happen next year. No, you have to live and make others fly. It is now your part, is it not? So, understand your part and then push yourself, but push yourself whilst keeping a balance. OK? Do not make a fast programme, that you are in one place for two days and on the third day, have to be somewhere else. No. It is not the time for that yet. When such a time comes, you will have to go to four different places in one day, but not yet.

(Speaking to everyone:) What do all of you think? Is this all right? (Speaking to Dr. Nirmala). It is good. You are looking after Asia very well. You have played a good part in service. Whether it is Europe, Australia or Africa, all of you have played a very good part with responsibility. And you also attained the practical fruit of success according to the attention you gave. It isn't that because it was Australia's duty, they had to do everything. No, double foreigners from all directions brought many good souls to Madhuban and attained that success. Everyone was a companion as a backbone and you have to remain this in the future also. (This time there were many from Germany.) All those from Germany, raise your hands! It is good. Just as those from Australia have shown the practical proof of transformation, so too, those from Germany also have to show the practical form so that each centre is the best of all and the numbers at each centre are number one also. Now, we shall see the wonder of Germany. The vision of the entire Brahmin family is on Germany, because Germany will be very co­operative in the future. You have their help even now, and so congratulations. Now, perform such a wonder that no one else has yet performed, that even London has not yet performed. (Those from London had to renounce Sudesh Didi.) This is not renunciation, but fortune. Those from London created their own fortune. Is it like that? Have you created fortune or have you had to renounce? You also have to give the fruit of whatever you have been taught. The fruit is to give co­operation to others. These are the rooms of London. London is the main hall and the rest are rooms; some are large and some are small. You are happy, are you not? Achcha.

Teachers, raise your hands! There are many of you. (Today, you are sitting at the back.) Even whilst sitting faraway, you are close. You may be physically very far, yet, you are close to the heart. Teachers are making very good effort. Teachers from all directions are showing good courage and working very well. Achcha, all those who have come for the first time, raise your hands! Did all of you receive Baba's drishti or not?
