"The Foundation of Truth is Purity and the Sign of this is Divinity in one's Activity."
27 February 1996 · English
Today, the true Father, the true Teacher and the Satguru is seeing in all directions his children who are the embodiment of the power of truth. The foundation of truth is purity, and the practical proof of truth is divinity on your face and in your activity. Many souls in the world call themselves true or consider themselves to be truthful, but the only real basis of truthfulness is purity. If there isn't purity, there cannot be constant truthfulness. So what is the foundation of all of you? Purity. Being the embodiment of truth on the basis of purity is constant and easy. Truth is not just speaking the truth and doing that which is true, but the first truth is that through which you receive the power of purity or the power of truth. Therefore, the first aspect is to know your true form: I am a soul. You did not know this true form previously. So the first truth is to know yourself in your true form. Did you have the form of truth on the basis of "I am Soandso or I am suchandsuch?" To know the true form is to firstly know your own form and then to have the introduction of the Father. Do you know your own true form very well and do you have the Father's true introduction? Thirdly, you also know the world cycle in its true form: what this cycle is and what your part in it is? You now know your part very clearly. Do you now know your part? Your part is very good, is it not? The best part is said to be of the confluence age. However, compared to the souls of the world throughout the cycle, even your part of being deity souls is also elevated. Even though the religious leaders and the great souls play their part, those souls are not pure in both body and soul, whereas you deity souls are pure, both in body and in soul, which no other souls throughout the kalpa can be. So, no one, apart from you souls, has the elevated foundation of purity. Do you remember the part of the deity souls? Do you remember it? Do the Pandavs remember it? Deity souls have natural purity. Mahatmas make other souls pure, but on the basis of a lot of effort; it is not natural. Neither is it natural, nor is it part of their nature, whereas for you, you have a natural life of purity for half a kalpa and you also have that nature. You do not make any effort for this there. The effort made here becomes natural there, because there, there is no name or trace of impurity. You are not even aware that there is such a thing as impurity. This is why the practical form of your purity is that of the deities, that is, of divinity. At this time, no matter how truthful people of the world consider themselves to be, they still do not know the truth of their original form. They do not have the true introduction of the Father. So you cannot call theirs the completely true form. You can only have the power of truth constantly when you have the awareness of the true form of yourself and the Father. So then, your every thought will constantly be true. At present, when you become body conscious, even you sometimes forget, and so your thoughts are not constantly filled with the power of truth or the power of purity. Do you constantly have these types of thoughts or do you even have waste thoughts? Would you call waste thoughts true thoughts? You would not, would you? You did not speak anything false, so why would you not call them true? If someone were to say: "I don't ever speak a lie, I always speak the truth", then the recognition of this is that there would constantly be divinity experienced in that one's thoughts, words, deeds, relationships and connections. If your words are the truth but there isn't that divinity in them, then one would see that you repeatedly say: I am telling the truth, I am telling the truth. If you are constantly truthful and yet there isn't that divinity in your words and deeds, then others would not feel your truthfulness to be honest. They would feel that you are only trying to prove yourself; they would not feel it to be the truth. In order to prove the truth, there is no need to prove it. If you prove your own truthfulness with stubbornness, that divinity would not be visible; it would only be something ordinary, because everyone in the world also does that. How would the truth be visible? BapDada gives the definition of the sign of truth in one slogan which you also heard from sakar Baba:
Where there is truth, the soul dances. The soul will constantly dance in happiness. When you try to prove yourself with that stubbornness, then if you look at your own or someone else's face, there would not be that happiness on it. The face would be filled with thoughts and sadness. It would not be a face of one who is dancing. Where there is truth, the soul dances in happiness. Days and nights spent in happiness are enjoyed very much. But if there is the slightest untruth mixed with the truth, those moments of life are not enjoyed so much. The meaning of truth is to be stable in your form of truth and then create thoughts, speak words and perform deeds.
Nowadays, people of the world clearly say for themselves: It is difficult for people to remain honest, they have to tell lies. However, at certain times, in certain situations, although Brahmin souls do not speak lies through their lips, internally, you understand that, sometimes, you may tell others a lie, that you have to be very clever with others. So what is the cleverness? That of course you have to be this! So those people speak lies clearly, whereas Brahmins speak it with a royal language. They then say: This was not my intention. It was neither my feeling nor my intention, but I had to do this; I have to interact in this way. However, you saw Brahma Baba, for he too was in the corporeal form. Of course, for the incorporeal One, you think: Father Shiva is incorporeal. He is sitting up above enjoying Himself; if He were to come down here, then He would know! However, Brahma Baba, in his corporeal form, stayed with all of you. He was a student and he also had to withstand so much opposition for the sake of truth and purity. Yet he managed to interact with even those who were so clever. So many people advised him: Do not tell people directly that they have to remain pure. Instead, tell them that they have to remain a little pure. However, was Brahma Baba afraid? In order to imbibe the power of truth, you also need the power to tolerate. You have to tolerate, you have to bow down. You have to accept defeat; however, that defeat is not defeat. Although it feels like defeat at that time, it is victory for all time.
With the power of truth, you are today celebrating the Diamond Jubilee. If you hadn't had purity or truth, then others would not have experienced on your face and in your activity the divinity that they experience today. Even if you are part of the infantry it is numberwise after all even if you are maharathis, not just those who are maharathis in name, but true maharathis, that is, those who are moving along with the power of truth are the true maharathis, if you step away from the truth on seeing the external situations, saying: "I didn't say anything else, I just spoke a few words externally. I didn't mean that in my heart, I just spoke those few words physically", then that is not being completely truthful. If, because of truth, you have to tolerate something, then that is not really tolerating. Externally, you may feel that you are tolerating something, but that is being accumulated in your account of the power of tolerance. Otherwise, what happens is that if someone is even a little weak in tolerating something, then he definitely has to take the support of falsehood. For that time, it feels as though he has found a support and that everything is all right, but he does not accumulate the power to tolerate in his account. Externally, he would feel that he is moving along very well, that he now knows the art of moving along cleverly. However, if he were to see his account, he would see that he has accumulated very little. Therefore, do not move along with this cleverness. Sometimes, you even move along whilst watching one another: This one is moving along in that way and her name has been glorified a lot; she has moved forward a great deal, whereas because we are honest and truthful, we are left behind. However, that is not remaining behind; that is actually moving forward. In front of the Father, you are moving forward. Even if, in front of others, it seems like you are moving backwards, with whom are you ultimately concerned? With the Father or with other souls? Whom are you concerned with? With the Father. So, to move forward in the Father's heart means to move forward in your reward for the entire kalpa.
However, if you copy souls here in moving forward, then you earn your name for that time, and you receive that regard; you come into the list of those who give lectures, you come into the list of those who look after centres, but it is only for that short time, you do not create a reward for the entire kalpa. You made effort, a seed was sown and a tree grew, and you even received the fruit. However, BapDada refers to this as eating the fruit raw. The reward of eternal fruit finishes. So do not copy others for temporary name, fame or honour. You may not earn a name here, but in Baba's heart, your name is ahead. Therefore, if you wish to become a diamond, then check yourself in all these aspects. Check that there isn't any type of flaw, even in a royal way, hidden in the diamond. So with the power of truth, imbibe divinity. No matter what you have to tolerate, do not be afraid. The truth will automatically be revealed according to the time. You say: The boat of truth may rock, but it will not sink. In that case, it will take you to the shore; therefore, be fearless! If you have to face anything, then keep Brahma Baba's life in front of you. There were many situations of the world in front of Brahma Baba, and there were a variety of situations concerning the children. However, whilst remaining within the gathering and having responsibilities, with the power of truth, he was victorious. Did Brahma Baba not see the complications of the children? Souls with various sanskars also came in front of Brahma Baba. However, even whilst having to tolerate all those situations, the original stage of his power of truth made him perfect.
So what do all of you wish to become? This is not cleverness, is it? You speak very well, when you say: I didn't do anything. Of course, you have to be a little clever also. But for how long? So now, imbibe the power to tolerate and face falsehood. Do not become influenced. Some think that they saw something in the maharathis and that it is the maharathis who they have to follow; that Brahma Baba is not in front of them at the present time, that there are just the maharathis and so they followed them. However, even if the maharathis have mixed activity, if they too are moving along with cleverness, then at that time, the maharathis are not maharathis. At that time, they are under bad omens; they are not maharathis. Therefore, what slogan was it that the Father gave? Follow the Father or follow the sister or brother? So, in performing practical deeds, keep Brahma Baba in front of you, follow him; and in becoming bodiless, follow the incorporeal Father. Even when there are very good children, they are following the father. So what do you have to do?
Follow the father. Are you sure? Or, do you feel that, because you are getting a little advantage, you should take that and think that you will see about the future when it comes? Some think: Even if we claim a low status in satyug, at least we will be happy, because there won't be any sorrow there. At least we will have all attainments. Even if we become the subjects of the subjects, we will not lack any attainments, and so let us take that pleasure now, and we will see about the future later on. However, this temporary pleasure will make you experience punishment. So, do you accept that? Will you accept punishment? Will you also take that pleasure? No.
So remember all three things. Purity, truth and divinity. Let there not be ordinary words, ordinary thoughts or ordinary deeds, but let there be divinity. Divinity means to perform deeds and create thoughts with divine virtues. This is divinity. When people ask: "What are sinful actions?", what do you tell them? To perform any deed under the influence of vice is a sin. This is what you understand, is it not? So divinity means to have thoughts, words and deeds on the basis of divinity. So do you understand the importance of truth? (Baba conducted drill.)
Can you make yourself bodiless in one second? Why? How long does it take to have the thought: "I am a bodiless soul"? It took one second, did it not? So, every now and again throughout the day, continue to perform the drill: I am detached, bodiless and loved by the Father. You know how to do this, do you not? So now, in one second, forget everything and become completely bodiless. (BapDada conducted drill for five minutes.) Achcha.
To all the souls in all directions who keep the foundation of purity strong; to those who are constantly bringing satyug, that is, who are spreading the vibrations of the power of truth throughout the world with their own power of truth; to those who constantly imbibe divinity in their thoughts, words and deeds; to the souls who have the natural practice of following the father; to such souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
Continue to perform this drill throughout the day as many times as you can. Even if you do it for just one minute, even if you do not have two or three minutes. by even carrying out this practice for one or half a minute, you will receive a lot of help in becoming bodiless in the final moments. Are you able to become this? Did all of you become bodiless just now, or did you spend your time in battling? Did you become this? Or did the time finish whilst you were still battling? Are you able to become this in one second? Are you able to become this even when you have a lot of work to do? Is it not difficult? Is it difficult? You may be running around a lot in the U.N., and when you try to become bodiless at that time, are you able to become that? If you practice this from time to time, then at that time, it will become natural. When you have the awareness of the body, do you have to make effort for that at that time? Do you make the effort to think: I am Soandso? It is natural. So this will also become natural. Become bodiless when you want and come into the body when you want. When you have to do something, take the support of the body, but do not forget that it is the soul that is taking the support of the body. You are not the one that does, but the one that gets it done, just like you get something done through others. At that time, you consider yourself to be separate. In the same way, whilst getting something done through the body, you, the soul that gets is done, are separate. Practice this and you will never fluctuate in anything of body consciousness. Do you understand?
Double foreigners wish to go ahead, do they not? You are good and you pay attention well. You have good zeal and enthusiasm for service and it will continue to increase. The double foreigners are asked: Are all of you content with the service you carried out this year and the project that you have now received? Did you remain content with your service? All of you attended this programme, did you not? So, are you content? Whatever service you do, even if you don't get any students to do the course, remain content with your own self. Have the faith that if you are content, then if not today, then tomorrow, this message will work; it has to work. Do not become even a little discontent. "We spent this much, we even had a programme, but no one came." Even if the number of students didn't increase, it doesn't matter. At least, you did what you could. It was accumulated in your account, and they even received the message. Everyone has to come at the right time. Therefore, continue to do whatever you can without thinking about the expense. If you yourself are content, then the expense has been worthwhile. Do not be afraid, thinking: I don't know what happened. Many children say: My yoga was not accurate and this is why it happened like this. Whom did you have yoga with? Is there anyone else with whom you had yoga? You have yoga and you will always have yoga. However, some are the fruit of the season whereas others are the fruit of all time. If no one came, they are the fruit of the season and so they will come in their own season. But do not become disheartened. At least you obeyed shrimat. You did everything according to shrimat. This is why even to accept shrimat is one type of success. Continue to move forward in this whilst doing everything you can. In fact, those people will later bow down to your feet and repent that you told them and they didn't listen to you. You will become goddesses here. They will fall at your feet.
Only then will they fall at your feet in bhakti. The time will also come when everyone falls at your feet and says: You brought so much benefit to all of us. At present, you bring good IP souls here. BapDada receives the result. You brought good VIPs and IPs, and so there was that success. Earlier, you had the children's programmes. How many of the children were from abroad? (100). There were a hundred children from abroad, and now you are doing this programme for women. You are making preparations for that. So you are moving forward, are you not? Earlier, when you were told to bring IPs you used to say that it was very difficult to bring them from the foreign countries. Jayanti used to say: "It is very difficult, it is very difficult." What do you say now? "Easy!" And, because this is the year of the Diamond Jubilee, all the programmes that have taken place in Bharat have all been very successful. This was because the method you have for the Diamond Jubilee is that everyone should come to light a candle, so they think that they have been given some position. Otherwise, if you tell them to come and listen to you, they would not come. Because of the Diamond Jubilee, many IP souls have come into contact, and they will continue to come into contact. Because they do not have knowledge, when they think that they are just coming to listen to you, they become body conscious. If they have to do something else, they think they have been given some position. If you give them whatever they want, then your task is carried out. What happens when you light a candle? If you think about it, what is it? However, they become happy with that. They think that you have given them regard. So the service that is taking place for the Diamond Jubilee here and abroad is very good and will continue to be good. How many women are going to come? (180) Those who are responsible for this programme, raise your hands! Who are the instruments for serving the women? And the Pandavs? (None). Are the Pandavs not even allowed to do this service? It is good. Sometimes, the Shaktis have to become courageous. You enjoy doing this service, do you not? You do not get tired, do you? Do you get tired?
Teachers, raise your hands! Do the teachers get tired? And, those who become a little tired? They will not raise their hands. Those teachers who never get tired, raise your hands! The Pandavs are raising their hands, the sisters are not, and so the Pandavs have passed. Congratulations. Do not get tired! Whenever you begin to feel tired, go somewhere and start to dance, even if it is in the bathroom. What will happen is that your mood will change. You can either sing with happiness in your mind, or if not that, then, physically sing and dance. Abroad, everyone knows how to dance. You are clever in dancing. You know the angelic dance, do you not? Achcha, what do you have to do now? All of you have performed the dance, have you not?
To the Dadis: Today, there are few Dadis and so you have a chance. (Sheel Dadi and Rami Dadi from Bombay came in front of Baba.) You have reached your home, have you not? Have you reached your home, Madhuban? Are you happy? You remain happy and will constantly remain happy in the future also. You have settled your accounts with a lot of courage. You have very good courage. Achcha. Maintain a lot of happiness. You have come to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, have you not? (speaking to Rami Dadi) Are you all right? (Brother Praful left his body on the 22nd after being involved in a motor scooter accident): He was a good child and had a lot of zeal and enthusiasm for service, but when the time for settling accounts comes, something or another becomes a reason. However, the child himself was all right. (Many asked: Baba helps the children, so why did Baba not help at that time?) He had an account to settle with that driver at that time in that place. Destiny cannot be prevented. (Doctors tried very hard to save him.) He was loved by everyone. The date of death cannot be prevented. Even God cannot change that.
