"Finish your old sanskars and imbibe your original sanskars and become those who are ever­ready."

Today, BapDada is seeing His lucky and lovely children who are merged in the love of the Father of the world. Baba is proud of the fortune of each child: My children are so great at present that, throughout the entire kalpa, not even the deities, the great religious leaders, the great souls, or the multimillion­times fortunate souls have such great fortune as you Brahmins have. So, do you constantly keep this elevated fortune of yours in your awareness? Do you constantly sing this unlimited song in your mind, “Wah Baba, the Bestower of Fortune! Wah the fortune of myself, the elevated soul!” Does this song of your fortune constantly play automatically? Does this song play? Baba is constantly happy to see the children. Children are also happy, but now and then, instead of letting their fortune remain emerged, they allow it to become merged. When Baba sees that the children have merged the intoxication of their hundred­fold fortune and faith, what does He say? Drama! However, BapDada always wishes to see all the children as an embodiment of awareness of their fortune. All of you also want this, but something comes in­between. If any of you is asked what your aim is, then all the children are moving along with the aim: I have to become equal to the Father. The aim is very good.

Since your aim is so elevated and very good, then why is it sometimes in a merged form and sometimes in an emerged form? What is the reason for this? You make such good promises to BapDada; you have a heart­to­heart conversation with BapDada; so, in that case, why is there a difference between your aim and the qualifications? BapDada saw what the reason for the result is. In fact, all of you know it. It is not anything new, but nevertheless, BapDada will revise it for you. BapDada saw that there are three things: One is to think, that is, to create thoughts. The second is to speak, that is, to relate. The third is to put into your actions, in your practical activity and behaviour. So, an equal balance of the three is lacking. When there is balance, the faith and intoxication is emerged and when the balance is lacking, your intoxication and faith become merged. The result seen is that your speed of thinking is very good and fast; your speed and intoxication in speaking is also 75% all right. The majority of you are clever in speaking, but the marks are absolutely low in putting this into your practical activity. So, you are all right in two aspects, but very low in the third aspect. What is the reason for this? Since your thoughts are very good and your words are also very beautiful, then why is it not so good in your practical form? What is the reason for this? What is the reason? Do you know? Say “yes” or “no”! You know why very well. If any of you are told to give a lecture on a particular topic or to give a class, you would give a very good class. And you would even give a lecture with a lot of intoxication, faith and sparkle; you would even conduct class. You do do this. BapDada listens to everyone’s classes as to what you say. He continues to smile! Wah child, wah!

BapDada told you earlier also, that the main thing that is now taking place is the revised course. So Baba says: There is only one reason; there are not many reasons, but there is just one reason.

BapDada understands that it is not difficult to find a solution for the reason; that it is very easy, but you make something easy very difficult. Is it difficult? No. Why? Your intoxication becomes merged. There is just one reason. Whatever you hear in terms of aspects to imbibe and whatever you speak of, whether in terms of powers or virtues, you speak very well about the things to imbibe. You speak of very good things of dharna. You speak so well about this that whether the souls listening are gyani or not, they all say, “It is very good, it is very good”. They applaud you and say that you spoke very well. However, did you see how many times you used the word “but”. This word “but” causes an obstacle. For the word “but” to finish means to come close to the stage of being equal to the Father. And to come close to the Father means to bring time close. However, even now, you still have to use the word “but”. Baba does not like it, but He has to say it. So what is the reason for this? Whatever you say, whatever you imbibe, whatever you imbibe as your dharna, that dharna also continues for quite some time. For some, it continues for some time and for others, it continues for longer. But, the main aspect is for the dharna to continue in a practical way constantly. From the copper age to this last birth, everything is a matter of the past birth, and not of this present birth of having died alive. So whatever dharna of defects you have from previous births or whatever weaknesses you have, they have taken on the form of sanskars. And because they have become your sanskars, you do not have to make effort for them, but rather you wish to let go of them. You do not like it, but even then you say, “What can I do? My sanskar is like this. Don’t think badly of it, for my sanskar is like this.” How was the sanskar created? It was created when you created it. So, you created these wrong sanskars from the copper age, through which you are compelled at times, and you say, “What can I do? My sanskars are like this.” So the sanskars easily take a practical form even when you don’t want them to. They come into play, do they not? Some become angry and then, after a little while, they say, “Don’t think badly of this; it’s just my sanskar”. You made anger your sanskar, you made the defects your sanskars, so why did you not make the virtues your sanskars? Take every virtue, every power. Just as anger is a power, the power of ignorance is anger and the power of knowledge and the power to tolerate is peace. You have made anger your sanskar in a very good way and you continue to use it and then you even ask for forgiveness, “Forgive me; it won’t happen in the future”. However, it happens even more in the future. What is the reason for this? It is because you have made it your sanskar. BapDada tells the children the same thing again and again: Make every virtue and every aspect of knowledge your sanskar. Just think what the original sanskar of Brahmin souls is. Is it anger or tolerance? What is it? It is tolerance and peace, is it not? You have made the defects your sanskars very easily. You have ground them into yourself in such a way, that they even continue to emerge when you don’t want them to. In the same way, grind every virtue into yourself and make it your sanskar. Always remember what your original sanskar is. The other is the property of Ravan which you have made your sanskar. You have made something that doesn’t belong to you your own. Now make the Father’s treasures your own. You keep Ravan’s property carefully with yourself and you lose the things that Baba gives you! Why? You have love for Ravan. Do you like Ravan? Or, do you like Baba? All of you would say that you like the Father. All of you are saying this in your mind, are you not? But, the things said by the One you like would become engraved on your heart with the ink of faith. When someone is under the influence of Ravan’s sanskars and yet continues to say that he has a lot of love for Baba, then Baba would ask: How much love do you have? He would reply: Even greater than the sky. Baba becomes happy on hearing that the child is so innocent.

Nevertheless, Baba says: Baba promised all the children that because you said, “Baba, my Baba”, because you said this, even once from your heart, then even though you forget Baba in­ between, it is because you said, “My Baba”, from your heart once, that Baba also says: “Whatever you are, however you are, you are Mine”. Baba has to take you back. Baba simply wants you to go as a bride and not as part of the wedding procession. All of you are very happy to hear this. You are even laughing at yourself.

Now, at the time of hearing this, you are laughing at yourself. You are laughing at your own self. However, when you become forceful, you become bright red. BapDada has seen the result that the children have one very good speciality. What is that? Of maintaining purity. No matter how much you have to tolerate for this, no matter how many come to oppose you, in this aspect, 75% are good. Some even speak of wasteful things unnecessarily, nevertheless, 75% have passed in this aspect. However, what is the second subject that comes up? Anger. Of course there is total body consciousness. But it has been seen that very few have passed in the subject of anger. They think perhaps that anger is not a vice, that it is a weapon, but not a vice. However, anger for a gyani soul is a great enemy. Why? Anger is revealed when you come into contact and relationship with many souls. And when that anger is seen, Baba’s name is defamed a great deal. Those who see this would say sarcastically, “We have seen the gyani souls!” There are many forms of anger. You know one great form very well. You can see when a person is getting angry. The second subtle form of anger is jealousy, conflict or internal dislike. These forms are not visible externally, neither through loud words nor in any other external form. However, just as external anger is a form of fire, and it burns inside, and even burns others, similarly, those who have jealousy, conflict or dislike within them also continue to burn inside. When one externally becomes bright red, that is all right, but the other becomes ugly inside. The third form of anger is cleverness. What is that? In words and explanation, you say that you sometimes have to become serious. Sometimes, you have to take up the law for their benefit. Ask yourself whether there is benefit in that or not. BapDada has not given anyone permission to take the law into their own hands. Has BapDada given this permission? Have you received permission to take the law into your own hands? Has Baba said in any murli that you may take the law into your own hands? Do not get angry. Those who take the law into their own hands have the form of a trace of internal anger. Yes, even the instrument souls do not have to take the law into their own hands. However, they do have to make you revise it. They do not take the law into their own hands. No one can take the law into their own hands, but the instruments have to make others revise the laws that BapDada has created. Those who are the instruments have this much permission, not every one.

Today, BapDada is giving some official teachings, so accept them with love. Because, when BapDada comes to meet you, He smiles at the written promise you have made to Baba. BapDada just now told you to make every virtue your original sanskar. Did you underline that? Then say that it has become your sanskar to stay in your form of peace, to be tolerant. Make it your original sanskar and show that to Baba within the next five to six months. This is why Baba is giving you the result today. Baba receives many reports of anger. The young and the old become angry in various forms. BapDada is not revealing any more now, but there are many stories.

There are many interesting stories. So, what will you do to anger from today? Will you bid it farewell? Just be careful! It is easy to clap, but make sure that there is no clapping of anger. BapDada does not wish to hear this again and again, but still He listens to it because He has mercy. However, Baba does not wish to hear, “Baba, I made a promise, but it still came, what can I do?” You do not wish it to come, but it just comes! “You should explain to Maya, You should explain to anger! Would the Father make effort and the children take the reward? Should the Father make this effort? So, do not make such promises. BapDada will see the result in five months. Whether you give the results or not, they will reach BapDada. Your result should not be: “What can I do? It just happens. The circumstances were such, the situation became such a big thing.” You try to make Baba understand in this way. You are very clever. You say, “Baba, we are able to overcome small matters, but this was a big situation”. Now, what did you blame? The situation. And what does the situation do? It comes and goes. That situation will come again after five thousand years. You blame the situation that will happen again after five thousand years. Do not do this. Do not even have such thoughts as “What can I do?...” Why is BapDada especially telling you about anger? Because if you bid farewell to anger, then greed and desires etc. are all included in that. Greed isn’t just for money or food, but there are varieties of greed; whether of knowledge or ignorance, any type of desire is also greed. And so, when anger finishes, greed will automatically finish. Arrogance will also finish. Sometimes, there is arrogance, is there not? “I am senior, I am sensible, I know all this. Who does he think he is?” Then anger comes. So, arrogance and greed will take leave together. This is why BapDada is not especially telling you about greed, but is making you underline anger. So will you make this your sanskar? Everyone, raise your hands! Take everyone’s photo! Now, Baba is giving you a few congratulations, not a lot. However, when Baba sees the result, then the deities of the subtle region and the deities of heaven will say, “Wah! Wah!” and shower flowers on you.

From today, each of you should look at yourself. Do not look at others. Close the mind’s eye of looking at others. You cannot close the physical eyes, but close the mind’s eye to anything that someone else does. Therefore, Baba is saying this with such force, that even if a maharathi makes a mistake, let the mind become introverted and not see or listen to that. Should Baba tell you something amusing? Today, BapDada is telling you everything very clearly. You do not feel bad about it, do you? Achcha, Baba will tell you something else very clearly. BapDada has seen that the majority from time to time, not always, but sometimes, do not see the specialities of the maharathis so much, but they look at their weaknesses with great depth. They follow them and even speak about it to one another, saying, “What is this? We have seen everyone. Even the maharathis are doing this, we are behind anyway. Now, when the maharathis change, we will also change.” However, the tapasya and the efforts over a long time of the maharathis will enable them to get extra marks and pass with honour. If you wait for the maharathis to change before you change, then you will be deceived. Therefore, make your mind introverted. Do you understand? BapDada hears this a lot, “We have seen it all, we have seen it all, we also have eyes, we also have ears, we have heard it all.” However, do not compete with the maharathis in this aspect. Race in good things; do not compete in bad things, because, otherwise, you will be deceived. Baba feels mercy. Because the foundation of faith of the maharathis is unbroken and unshakeable, they receive extra marks. Therefore, never open the mind’s eye to this aspect. Keep it closed! Instead of listening to your mind, keep it introverted. Do you understand?

Today, you were given hot halva. So, now create your original sanskars. When you have to labour, BapDada does not like it. BapDada saw a wonderful picture of the children. Will you listen to it? Will you see that picture? Do you wish to hear about it or have you had sufficient halva to eat? It is a wonderful picture. Even BapDada wonders at it. What picture did Baba see? The children say one thing and do something else. Through your lips, you say that you will become Lakshmi or Narayan, that you will not become Rama or Sita, but that you will become Lakshmi or Narayan, and what do you do? You say that you will become Lakshmi or Narayan. May there be a gulab jamun in the mouth of those who say this. However, what do you do? You say that you will become Lakshmi or Narayan. You say that it is one hundred per cent certain that you will become Lakshmi or Narayan, but what picture do you portray? You continue to battle like the Rama of the silver age. You constantly have the bow and arrow in your hands. You say that you are Lakshmi or Narayan, but in practice, you continue to battle like the silver­ aged Rama. You spend half the time in constantly battling and half the time in yoga. Not all of you, but many. So BapDada felt that this was a wonderful picture when He saw it. Whatever you say, you have to do that. Whatever good things you think of, you have to do them. The easy method that you were told about is to allow your original sanskars to emerge. Through sanskars, your actions will automatically become like that. Then, there will be less effort and greater success. You will be saved from having to make effort. Just as you become the masters of the world for half a kalpa and become liberated from having to make any type of effort, in the same way, by creating your original sanskars at this time, you will be liberated from having to make effort. You will not need to take the bow and arrow in your hands and battle again and again.

You will automatically become a constant yogi, an easy yogi, a karma yogi and a Raj Yogi. You will not have to have yoga, but you will automatically have a yogi life at every second and in every moment. So you want this, do you not?

The essence of the entire knowledge and the four subjects of gyan, yoga, dharna and service is of two terms. First: Baba is my whole world. Second: Every virtue and every power is my original sanskar. So remember these two words: World (sansar) and Sanskar. Is it difficult? Is it a little difficult? When a situation comes in front of you, then it is a little difficult, but what is a situation in front of you? Is the situation greater or the Father greater? Who is greater? However, at that time, you feel that the situation is greater. BapDada has many photos of the children at such times. He has a whole museum set up. When you come there sometime, you can see it. See your own photo there. So, now celebrate the completion ceremony. When you celebrate this completion ceremony, then the ceremony of world transformation will come in front of you.

Should Baba tell you one more thing. Are you ready to hear this? Children are masters, are they not? So, an order has to be issued by the master, then Baba can say anything. This is an unlimited hall, is it not? Just as they portray the rosary of Runda, in the same way, if you could see this scene from here, it would seem to you to be like a rosary of Runda; you will only be able to see the faces, that is all. So, whilst in the unlimited hall, BapDada is also telling you all the unlimited things with an open heart. What day was it yesterday? (Wednesday.) It is something that happened on Wednesday. (Together with the wind, there was also rain during the night.)

Today, everyone was a little tired from having seen the games during the night. There was a little distress, was there not? At the final moments, a lot is going to happen. If you have a small rehearsal, it is good. There should be a small rehearsal. To pack up your bags and baggage and run was just a little exercise. Generally, old mothers do not run, but during the night, they ran with their bedding and their baggage. Therefore, this was also a game. At least you had some exercise! You were able to use your legs. These little rehearsals are nothing compared to what is going to happen in the final moments. You should have this practice too. BapDada has told you to remain ever­ready. Be ever­ready in this too. When there was rain, you all set off. You were upset in a second; you set yourself in a second. So BapDada thinks that as long as this has not become complete (Shantivan accommodation), there should be fewer children coming. However, the fewer the number allocated, the more the number increases. You are not even given the signal to come, and still you all come, and so you have to see these games. BapDada is happy to see the love of the children and always says, “Come children, come!” How can He say, “Do not come!”? Can Baba say this? So, all of you who have come, you came in happiness, so return in happiness, and together with toli, first of all, distribute your happiness. Achcha.

Yesterday, the advance party emerged in the subtle region. Whilst having a heart­to­heart conversation with BapDada, they asked Him: When will the service for which we have been sent as instruments begin? What response would BapDada have given? They were asking this again and again. They have been given birth in the advance party for a special task and the majority within this are very good yogi and gyani souls. Many maharathis have gone into the advance party, and out of those who have gone with them, you will see that the majority of them are those who are able to mix with everyone, yet who cannot be called maharathis. According to you, they are loving, incognito, yogi children; the majority is of such souls. You would think that ordinary souls have also gone, but the majority of those you call ordinary have been very powerful in yoga because of love. Such souls will especially stay ahead in the subject of yoga; they will become instruments to give birth through the power of yoga and become instruments to establish the new world. So, they were asking when their service will begin? Some of the souls who have gone have a different part in this. Not everyone has the same part, but the part of the majority is of the establishment of the new world. So, we were having this conversation.

BapDada smiled and made them busy in another subject. Why? The response to the question of, “When?” is not going to be given by BapDada alone; you all have to give the response also. It is when you say that you are ever­ready, that their service will begin. This is why the time for destruction is never going to be fixed; it will happen suddenly. BapDada has given you a signal in advance, and so do not complain at that time; that at least Baba should have given some signal. It has to happen suddenly; you have to remain ever­ready. This is why an instrument maharathi was made an example. Of course, everything happens according to the drama, but some become an example for unlimited service. So what will you do? When you meet BapDada, you should all say with your mind, not a promise of words or letters, but make a promise with your mind and tell Baba that you are all ever­ready souls who have finished your old sanskars and imbibed the original sanskars. Is this all right? Will you do it? Now finish the small matters. It feels as though someone who is sixty years old is playing with a ball like a little child. It does not feel good. You are not even playing with a ball, but with dirt. You play with the dirt of body consciousness. Now, play with the jewels of knowledge, play with virtues, play with powers; do not play with dirt. To have any type of body consciousness is to play with dirt. Did you hear the news of the subtle region?

The yagya­mata (mother of the yagya) of all of you, Mother Saraswati, has given all of you special love and remembrance. Everyone has given it, but the mother of the yagya has specially given lots and lots of love and remembrance from the heart to all of you and reminded you of the great mantra: Now, make preparations to return home. Let go of all the supports and now fly.

You have love for the mother of the yagya, do you not? Achcha.

Today, Baba has told you many things. Now, in one second, make the mind and intellect completely plain and become totally absorbed in the experience of having all relationships with the one Father. The Father is the whole world, whether in personal relationships or in attainments, this is the entire world. Therefore, the Father is the whole world, so become absorbed in Baba’s remembrance, in this form and in His sweetness. (BapDada conducted drill for three minutes.) Achcha. Today, teachers have also come. Teachers, raise your hands! Those who have come for the bhatthi, raise your hands! Those who have come specially for this programme and those who have come for the bhatthi today, raise your hands.

BapDada is always happy with the teachers, because whether young or old, you have become your own judges to make a decision for your own life. You instantly took the decision for your life of wanting to lead a life of service. Have all the teachers made this promise? Or, do you sometimes think that you didn’t think it would be like this, that if you had known this in advance, you would not have opted for this. You do not think in this way, do you? You play a song; whether by the people outside or composed by you, you play a song in which you sing: We have love for your flowers and also for your thorns. Do you sing this? Do you have this dharna in your mind? You have love for thorns, but thorns also prick. If you pick up thorns with love, then they also seem lovely, but if you touch thorns carelessly, then the blood of you being upset would emerge. You are not like that, are you? You are those who care, are you not? Trivial things are small thorns. However, you even have love for thorns, because the thorns, that is, the little matters make you very experienced. BapDada has a lot of love for this group and for the groups that are still to come; even more love than for the seniors. Why does He have so much love? Because you may be called the small ones, but you do big service. Who explains at the exhibitions? Do the seniors explain or do you? Who gives courses? Who gives the very good lectures? All of you do this, do you not? You may be younger ones, but BapDada considers you to be senior to the seniors in service. Do not be afraid. It is weak ones who become afraid. You are very courageous, you are mahavirs. Therefore, do not be afraid. Do not ever be disheartened. Always have a big heart. You are the children of the senior Father. Are you the children of a small father? So, you should not be disheartened. Do not be disheartened and do not be afraid about little matters. Constantly remember this slogan: You may be small to look at, but you will perform great wonders and show them to everyone. You will co­operate with the seniors, you will not show a stern eye to the seniors, but you will co­operate and glorify Baba’s name in the world. Are you such teachers? Those of you who think that you do this and will continue to do this, raise your hands! You are very courageous. To raise your hands is very easy, but be careful! But no, BapDada is still very happy on seeing your fortune. You have a lot of love for the Father and He also has a lot of love for you. Do not become disheartened. Do not become delicate. Be mahavirs. Do not ever show any weakness on your face, do not show any delicate nature. To be gentle is different from being delicate. You may be gentle, but do not be delicate. Delicate is that which is the fruit of water. When you put water in a certain position, it flows away. That is called delicate. So do not become delicate, but perform great wonders. Many situations come in front of the seniors and they also come in front of you. So, you should think that you have to become an example, that you are ahead in gyan and yoga and that you will remain ahead. Do not worry about the situations. Your face should never change from being cheerful. Your mind and body should constantly be smiling.

Do you understand what wonders you have to show? Your mind should never wilt, it should constantly smile. Is this possible? Will it happen? Teachers, speak. Is it “Ha ji”? Are you saying “Ha ji” or “Na ji”? Are you saying it with your mind or with words? Look! BapDada kept a special programme to meet you. So constantly keep on smiling and the memorial of your worship­worthy form will be created. Are all of you happy? Did you meet BapDada? Did you talk to Him? The teachers that participate in the bhatti, that is now going to take place, are of this group. You are not the second group, but you are simply called the second group. You are not second. The second group that has come should be number one in every aspect. Achcha.

Teachers are long­lost and now­found, are they not? You do a lot of service, you remain engaged in service day and night, do you not? In the same way, BapDada is giving a massage of love to all the sevadharis from Shantivan, Madhuban, Gyan Sarovar, Hospital, Sangam Bhavan and any other place. Whoever is serving at any place, all of you experience yourself receiving the massage of love. How many names can Baba mention? It is the service of all of you. Since you came, you gave the fortune of service to the sevadharis. So, you are first. If all of you didn’t come, who would the sevadharis serve? So, importance is of all of you also. Achcha.

To the souls in all directions who are absorbed in BapDada’s love, to all Baba’s sevadhari souls; to the elevated souls whose dharna is all of easy effort; to those who constantly have the aim of becoming equal to the Father and who develop those qualifications; to the souls close to Baba, lots and lots of love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada.

Achcha. Are the double foreigners OK? Wave your hands! It is very good! You are the double foreigners and so you need a double hall to sit here. This is why you are made to sit in this double­triple hall. Do the double foreigners like it? BapDada also like the unlimited. However, even this unlimited has become limited. It has become small even now. What will you do now? Even to the end wall, the hall is completely full. Expansion has to take place. Achcha, are the double foreigners happy this season? Are you happy in Gyan Sarovar? Look! Double foreigners are doubly fortunate. All the Dadis come to you in Gyan Sarovar; you do not need to make the effort to go to them, they come to you. You are long­lost and now­found, and so the long­lost and now­found children are not made to work hard. You all like it when all the Dadis and Dadas come to you, do you not? Double foreigners generally only see the double foreigners in the season of the double foreigners. Sometimes, you should even see the people of Bharat, and this is why this group has been mixed. Do you like it when it is mixed or when it is separate? You may be double foreigners now, but originally, you are from Bharat. Or, are you from foreign lands? You are from Bharat, are you not? Where will you rule? In America? In London? Or, in Bharat? You will rule in Bharat, will you not? This is why this is the confluence of those of Bharat and those of the foreign lands. BapDada sees you as the original Bharatwasis, those who will stay in Bharat and who will become Bharatwasis. Achcha, are all foreigners happy? Look how well you raise your hands! It is very good. Are the teachers happy? Are those who have come in the groups happy? All of you, wave your hands! Very good.
