"In order to become equal to the Father, have determination in two things: maintain your selfrespect and give respect to everyone."
25 November 2000 · English
Today, BapDada is seeing His loveliest of all, sweetest of all, small Brahmin family or small Brahmin world. This small world is so unique and also so lovely! Why is it so lovely? Because every soul of this Brahmin world is a special soul. Externally, you souls may be ordinary to look at, but the greatest speciality of you Brahmin souls is that you have recognised the Supreme Soul through your divine intellect. Even if is a 90 year old mature person who is ill, not even the V.VIPs, apart from you Brahmins, have the divine intellect and divine eye to recognise the Supreme Soul. Why have all you mothers arrived here? Whether your legs are working or not you have still arrived here. It is only because you have recognised Him that you have arrived here! No one, apart from you, can attain the eye or the intellect of recognition. All of you mothers sing this song, do you not? “We have seen! We have attained!” Do you mothers have this intoxication? You are waving your hands. Very good! Do you Pandavas have this intoxication? You are ahead of one another. Nothing is lacking in the Shaktis and nothing is lacking in the Pandavas. However, BapDada has the happiness of seeing how lovely this small world is! When you meet one another you souls appear so lovely!
Today BapDada was listening to the song of the heart of all the souls of this land and abroad: Baba, sweet Baba! We know and we saw! The children from all directions were on the one side singing this song and merged in happiness and on the other side were merged in the Ocean of Love. All the children everywhere who are not here in the corporeal form are in front of BapDada through their heart and through their drishti. BapDada is also seeing the children who are far away in the corporeal form to be personally in front of Him. How long does it take BapDada to reach here and to tour around, whether this land or abroad? In return, BapDada is giving all the children everywhere multimultimultimillionfold love and remembrance. Looking at all the children everywhere, Baba is only seeing one thought in each one’s heart. Everyone is saying with their eyes: We remember the six months homework that God has given us. All of you also remember this, do you not? You haven’t forgotten it, have you? Do you Pandavas remember it? Do you remember it very well? Why is BapDada reminding you of this again and again? What is the reason for this? You are seeing the time, and Brahmin souls are also seeing themselves. The mind is getting younger and the body is getting older! You can hear the call of time and the call of souls very clearly. Therefore, BapDada was seeing that the call from the hearts of souls is increasing: Oh Bestower of Happiness! Oh Bestower of Peace! Oh Bestower of True Happiness! Also give us a small drop of that!
Just think: How long will the line of those who are calling out be? All of you think that the revelation of the Father should take place very soon. Since all of you have this thought, why is this revelation still delayed? You have this desire in your heart and you also speak about it: “I want to become equal to the Father.” You do want to become this, do you not? Do you want to become this? Achcha, then why are you not becoming this? BapDada has told you that you have to become equal to the Father. The two questions of what to become and how to become don’t arise because both of these are included in the expression “becoming equal” (Samaan). You have the answer of what you have to become. You have to become equal to the Father. How are you going to become that? Follow the Father – the footsteps of the Father and Mother! The Incorporeal Father and the corporeal Mother Brahma. Do you not even know how to follow them? In today’s world, even the blind are able to follow the blind. It has been seen that by following the sound of a stick with their own stick, they can reach somewhere far. You are master almighty authorities. You are the ones with the third eye and the knowers of the three aspects of time. To follow is not a big thing for you! Is it a difficult thing for you? Speak! Is it something difficult? It isn’t, but it becomes that. BapDada tours around everywhere and sees that every Brahmin soul, at the centre or at home, has kept many pictures of the Father. Wherever you look, there are only pictures – whether of the Avyakt Father or of Father Brahma. It is good. However, BapDada wonders whether you are able to remember the character by looking at the picture? Or are you not able to remember that? Do you just look at the picture? Seeing the picture, you should be receiving inspiration. BapDada is not telling you anything except just one word. Simply follow, that’s all! Don’t think too much or make many plans. “Not this! I should do that. I shouldn’t do it like this! I should do it like that!” No, you simply have to copy what the Father did. Do you not know how to copy? Nowadays, science has invented photocopiers. They have invented this, have they not? You have a photocopier, do you not? So here you have the picture of Father Brahma. Keep them very well! Keep very big pictures. You may keep them. However, at least make a photocopy!
Therefore, BapDada was seeing this whilst touring around everywhere. Do you love the picture or the character? You have the thought, you have the enthusiasm and you also have the aim. What else do you need? BapDada has seen that, in order to make something strong, it has to be firmly fixed at all four corners. So BapDada saw that three corners are very firm and that just one corner has to be made firm now. You have the thought, you have the enthusiasm and you also have the aim. If you asked any of them what they want to become, they would say that they want to become equal to the Father. None say that they want to become anything less than the Father; not at all! They want to become equal. This is very good. You try to make this one corner firm but, as you move along, it becomes slack. And that corner is determination. You have the thought and you have the aim, but when an adverse situation arises which in ordinary words you refer to as a situation, it weakens your determination.
Determination is the thing that you must never let go of in your thought, even if you have to die! You may have to bow down, you may have to die, you may have to mould yourself in life, you may have to tolerate, you may have to listen, but you must never let go of your thought! This is called determination. When the small children came to stay at Om Nivas, Brahma Baba used to tease them. In order to make them strong, he asked them: Will you drink so much water? Will you eat so many chillies? You won’t be afraid, will you? Then he used to clap his hands together in front of their eyes. (They would have failed if they blinked!) So in this way he used to make the small children strong. No matter how many problems come, the eye of your thought should not shake at all! So today, also, BapDada is asking you children. That was red chillies and an urn of water, as you were still small children. All of you have now grown up, have you not?
Therefore BapDada is asking you: Do you have a determined thought? Do you have the determination in your thought of having to become equal to the Father? It isn’t that you will become, but that you definitely are going to become! Achcha! You may wave now! Those with the TV, take their picture! The TV should become useful, should it not? Raise your hands high! Achcha, even the mothers are raising their hands. Those sitting at the back, raise your hands even higher! Achcha. Very good! Those sitting in the cabins are not raising their hands. Those in the cabins are the instruments. Achcha. You raised your hands for a short time and pleased BapDada.
Now BapDada wishes to make the children do one thing. Baba doesn’t want you just to say it, but He wants you to do it. Simply bring determination into your mind. Don’t weaken your thoughts over trivial matters. Even if someone insults you, hates you, disrespects or defames you, your good wishes must never stop. Whenever anyone gives you sorrow, you issue a challenge saying that you are world transformers who transform Maya and matter. You remember your occupation, do you not? You are world transformers, are you not? Even if, under the influence of his sanskars, someone causes you sorrow, hurts you or makes you fluctuate, are you not able to transform something sorrowful into happiness? Are you not able to tolerate insults? Can you not change an insult into a rose? Are you not able to transform the problem into the thought of becoming equal? Do you all remember when you came into your Brahmin birth and you had faith? Whether it took you one second or one month of time, when you had faith your heart said, “I am Baba’s and Baba is mine!” You had this thought, did you not? You experienced this, did you not? From that time you issued a challenge to Maya saying that you will become a conqueror of Maya. Did you issue this challenge to Maya? Do you want to become a conqueror of Maya or not? You are the conquerors of Maya, are you not? Or are there some others to come who will become this? Since you have challenged Maya these problems, these situations and this upheaval are all royal forms of Maya. Maya will not come in any other form. You have to become conquerors of these forms of Maya. “The situations will not change, the centre will not change, the place will not change, souls will not change, but I have to change.” Everyone likes your slogans very much. “ We don’t want to seek revenge from anyone, but we will definitely change.” This is an old slogan. Maya will come even more in new and royal forms. Don’t be afraid! BapDada is underlining for you that Maya will come in such forms, and she is coming. She will come in such a way that you won’t even realise that it is Maya. You will say: Dadi, you don’t understand! This is not Maya! This is something real! She will come in an even more royal form. Don’t be afraid! Why? Would an enemy, whether victorious or defeated, not use any of the small or large weapons he has? Or, would he not use them? He will use them. Therefore Maya is also going to come to an end. However, to the extent that her end is coming closer, she is accordingly using and will use her weapons in many new ways. Then she will bow down at your feet! First she will try to make you bow down and then she herself will bow down. BapDada is simply making you underline one word in this over and over again. It is your aim to become equal to the Father. For this, maintain your selfrespect. And to give respect means to receive respect. You won’t receive it by taking it, but to give it means to receive it. It is not right to say that someone should give you respect. To give respect means to receive it. So selfrespect is not selfrespect based on body consciousness, but it is the selfrespect of Brahmin life, the selfrespect of an elevated soul, the selfrespect of becoming complete. Therefore maintain selfrespect; don’t take respect. To give respect means to receive it. Have determination in these two things. No matter how much someone tries to shake your determination, don’t allow your determination to weaken. Make it strong. Become unshakeable!
Only then will you be able to fulfil the promise of 6 months that you have made to BapDada. You do remember your promise, do you not? Don’t continue to count that 15 days are over and that there are now five and a half more months! When you have a hearttoheart conversation, and you do have a hearttoheart conversation at amrit vela, you relate very good things to BapDada. You know what you tell Him, do you not? Adopt determination! Don’t be determined about wrong things: I have the firm faith that I have to become angry. Don’t do that! Why? Nowadays, in the record of the majority, BapDada receives reports of different types of anger. There is very little anger in its gross form, but there is a greater extent of traces of the different types of anger.
Conduct a class on how many types of anger there are. What do you then say? That was neither my intention nor my feeling. I simply said it just like that! Conduct a class on this! Many teachers have come! (1200 teachers have come!) If 1200 were to have a determined thought, then it would be possible to have transformation take place tomorrow. Then there wouldn’t be so many accidents. Everyone would remain safe. Teachers, raise your hands! There are many of you! To be teachers means instruments who are the foundation. If the foundation remains firm, that is, if it remains determined, then the rest of the tree will become all right by itself. Nowadays, everyone, both in the world outside and in the Brahmin world, wants courage and true love. Not conditional love, not selfish love. One is true love and the other is courage. For instance, someone may have done something under the influence of his sanskars that caused 95% fluctuation, but he did well for 5%. If you look at that 5% goodness and encourage him by saying that he did very well, and then tell him that he has to put the rest of it right, he would not feel too sensitive. If you say, “Why did you do this? It cannot be done in this way! You can’t do it like that!”, then because he is already under the influence of his sanskars and is weak, he will also become nervous. He will be unable to progress. First of all, encourage him for his 5%. “That is something very good in you!” You can do that very well! Then, by explaining to him after considering the time and his form, he will become transformed. Encourage him because souls who are under an influence don’t have courage. How did the Father transform you? Did He tell you about your weaknesses, saying that you are vicious, that you are dirty? Did He say this? He reminded you that you are a soul, and this elevated awareness brought you power and transformed you. Remind them and encourage them. This awareness will automatically bring power. Do you understand? So you will now become equal, will you not? Simply remember one expression, “Follow Father and Mother.” You just have to do that which the Father did. Simply place your steps in His footsteps. Then you will experience how easy it is to become equal.
The drama continues to show you small games. You don’t put an exclamation mark, do you? Achcha. Cards, letters and songs of the heart of many children reached BapDada. All of you say: Also give my remembrance, give my love. Therefore the Father also says: Also give My love and remembrance. The Father remembers you and you children also remember Him. Because in this small world, there is only BapDada and you children and no other expansion. So whom would you remember? The children remember the Father and the Father remembers the children. Therefore, BapDada is giving lots and lots and lots of love and remembrance to all the children in this land and abroad.
This group of mothers that has come is very good. All the old mothers come here thinking that they want to meet Baba at least once and then they will see what happens. Even thinking in this way, they have come here many times You do very well! BapDada is pleased to see the courage of the mothers. As soon as you clap, they become present. (Everyone applauded really loudly.) It is good! There is great happiness in applauding. There is very good splendour. The splendour of the mothers is also very good. Look, the mothers have received a lot of love from the Father and the family. Therefore, within the drama, they have been given the first chance. There is water available for the mothers’ turn. Did you have any difficulty? You didn’t, did you? Were you economical or not? Were you economical? Everyone has a big heart. When the heart is big, everything works out fine. There may be a few complications, but that is not a big deal. Are you all OK, the Pandavas of Madhuban and Shantivan? You are strong, are you not? You will fulfil your responsibility, will you not? Say: Dadi, even if there isn’t any water, we will bring bucketfuls of water. How can water not be available? Since so many children are present, how can water not be available? Achcha.
To all the special souls of the Brahmin world everywhere, to the stars of success who constantly attain success through determination, to the complete souls who fulfil the call of time and call of souls by making the self complete, to those who encourage weak souls who are under an influence by giving them the blessing of courage, to the souls who are worthy of the Father’s help, to the transformer souls who as world transformers transform Maya, matter and weak souls through their own transformation, to all the souls of the small Brahmin world everywhere and to the elevated souls who have come here personally, BapDada’s multimultimultimillionfold love, remembrance and namaste.
Servers from Karnataka: You are playing a good part. You have given everyone very good salvation. So many, many congratulations to the residents of Karnataka for giving contentment in service. You played a very good allround part. The easiest basis of all for contentment is to let others go first. Continue to say, “You first!”. Continue to make companions and continue to move forward. Not “I first” but “You first.” So, those from Karnataka have shown good courage. The family and BapDada are happy. Servers, raise your hands! You have claimed the blessing of contentment with everyone’s cooperation. Achcha.
Speaking to Dadiji: BapDada has given you a lot of hard work. Because of your love, you don’t feel it to be hard work. (Baba, You are sitting here and we are just puppets.) However, in spite of that, you are playing a good part, a very good part. You are playing it well. It doesn’t matter; when the hearing is weak, you are able to catch things quickly through the language of the eyes. You have love for everyone. It is as though everyone’s life is in you Dadis. It is good. All of you who have become instruments, whether in an incognito way or in a visible way, you are playing a very good part of giving cooperation. It may be just these two Dadis being seen externally, but all of you are also merged in them. For all of you to be present in Madhuban is also a great help. All of you have become instruments because the Lord is present in every vein of all of you. Since the Lord is present, your presence is everything. You have taken that sustenance. So few have such a fortune! One is to take sustenance and the other is to become an instrument. This too is a hero part within the drama. You are giving the return, are you not? Therefore, you accumulate in an incognito way for the return that you give. Did you hear this?
(On 24th November, a car coming from Agra had an accident with a truck coming the other way. BapDada was given the news that 6 mothers, one teacher and the driver of that car all left their body. One old mother from Delhi also left her body in Shantivan.)
There are some souls, who only have Baba, nothing else but Baba, in their heart. They were only saying, “Baba, Baba!” They were all remembering Baba. They came close and then went up above. Because they were old, they were only remembering Baba, and they left saying, “Baba, Baba!” Their stage was very good; they didn’t cry. They felt a lot of pain, but yet their stage was very good. Look, all types are needed for the advance party. Now the advance party also has to be ready for all of you when you return. Therefore many are needed. So the advance party is getting ready because all the mothers were very strong (pukka). They had taken sustenance from sakar Baba and so they will give that sustenance, will they not? (There was also an 18 yearold kumari.) She too had deep love. She will play her own part in the advance party. Time is coming close and so all preparations are needed.
