"While doing service, stay in the angelic stage of being double-light; practise being bodiless."

Today, BapDada is seeing three forms of the children everywhere. Just as you know the three forms of the Father, in the same way, He was seeing three forms of the children which are the aim and qualifications of this confluence age. One is the Brahmin form, the second is the angelic form and the third is the deity form. Brahmins are to become angels and angels are to become deities. So, at present, what is the special aim that remains in front of you? You cannot become deities without becoming angels. So, according to the present time and your effort, your aim is to become an angel. The perfect form of the confluence age is an angel who will become a deity. You know the definition of an angel. An angel means one who is light in relationships, sanskars and thoughts in the old world, light even in the old sanskars. Not just to be light in your old sanskars, nature and the world, but an angel means one who has lightness while coming into relationship with everyone and with everyone's nature and sanskars. What is the sign of this lightness? Those angelic souls would have love for everyone, not just love for some, but love for all, just as for the Father. For Father Brahma, you all consider him to be your father. You say, "My Baba!" Such an angel means one who is loved by everyone. Some children think that Brahma Baba was Brahma, but all of you have seen among Brahmin souls just like yourselves that your beloved Dadi was loved by everyone, and everyone said from their own experience with a lot of love, "My Dadi". In terms of nature, sanskars and while living in the old world she remained loving and detached. Everyone said with a right, "My Dadi!" So what was the reason? She herself was light in her nature and sanskars. She gave everyone the feeling of belonging. She was an example. You also saw Jagadamba. Some think that she was the World Mother. However, Dadi was a companion of your Brahmin family. Whenever you heard of her efforts or if you asked her about it, she would always say: We have to become karmateet. In the deep desire to become karmateet she would also repeatedly remind others of the same thing. So, for every Brahmin, this should be the special aim and qualification. It is, but it is numberwise. There should only be this desire now: We definitely have to become angels. Angels means those who are detached from the physical body, those who always have a body of light. Angels means kings of the physical organs.

BapDada has also told you earlier that in the whole cycle there is only one BapDada who can say with that pure pride: Each child of Mine is a king-child, a master of the self. An angel is one who is a self-sovereign. Such a self-sovereign is one with a form of light.

Whenever you meet anyone who is stable in the light of the double-light stage, then the awareness of the soul, the light, would be visible on that one's forehead. Now, always keep the aim and qualifications of intense effort in an emerged form. You saw what was visible in Father Brahma when anyone met him or took drishti from him. In the last stages, you experienced that even while talking Father Brahma would mostly remain stable in the sweet bodiless stage. No matter how much service news others had to share, Baba would give them the experience of being bodiless in a second. And, if you were to check in the murlis, how many times Baba would remind you of the same lesson of the soul again and again, "I am a bodiless soul." So now, according to the time, the little things of detail, the things of nature and sanskars take you far from the bodiless stage. Now, there has to be transformation.

BapDada saw that the result of service is good. The majority of you have zeal and enthusiasm for service, and you also continue to make plans, but, together with doing service, it is also necessary to give the message. Today, too, BapDada saw the good result of the service of the different wings and different places. However, the atmosphere of being bodiless requires less effort and creates a greater impact. Of course, people enjoy what they hear, but they have an experience through the atmosphere and the drishti of being bodiless and an experience is never forgotten. So now, in service, let there be the addition of the concern for becoming angelic. Give one or other experience of peace, happiness, joy or spiritual love. Through the love in your behaviour and the hospitality you offer, through your relationships and family, they depart with an experience, but now specially pay attention to giving the feeling of supersensuous joy and spiritual intoxication of peace through the atmosphere and vibrations. Give them a special experience of one thing or another. Just as they depart impressed with the systems they see here - they haven't found such a system of family love anywhere else - so they should depart also having experienced some such power or attainment from here. Now, 72 years are coming to an end. What did Baba see as a result at the present time? That you have worked hard, but up to now they have just been saying that the Brahma Kumaris are doing this work and that the knowledge of the Brahma Kumaris is good. Who is the One who is giving it? Who is running all of this? Who is the Source? Hearing the word "Baba" from all of you, they say, "Their Baba", but for them to say, "My Baba is that same One", that revelation of the Father is still incognito. They say, "Baba, Baba", but it only emerges from a handful out of multimillions. "This is My Baba; I belong to Baba and Baba is mine".

So, what is the aim of the confluence age? That the Father of all of us has come. You are going to receive an inheritance from the Father, are you not? That influence will spread into the atmosphere through the angelic stage. They say they receive light through your drishti, that "the light of spirituality is visible in their drishti." So, now have the aim of making intense effort to become a double-light angel. While walking and moving around, increase the experience of the angelic form. Increase the experience of the bodiless stage. Be double-light in your nature and sanskars in order to finish any thoughts within a second. Some children say that they do remain light, but that others don't know them. However, the light of such double-light angels, those who are double-light, cannot remain hidden. Even a small torch light or a lit matchstick cannot remain hidden, whereas this is spiritual light, and so, through your atmosphere, give them the experience of who you are. Whether it was Jagadamba or Dadi, they didn't say that no one knows them. Through their atmosphere, they remained loving to all. This is why the example of Dadi is given because, for Father Brahma, you think that Shiv Baba was in him. For Father Shiva, you think: "He is incorporeal anyway; He is detached and incorporeal whereas we are corporeal bodily beings. We are living in such a big gathering, we are living in the midst of everyone's sanskars." To harmonise the sanskars means to become an angel. Seeing the sanskars, some children become disheartened. Baba is very good, Father Brahma is very good, knowledge is very good, the attainment is very good. However, to harmonise your sanskars means to be loving to everyone, not loving to just some, because some children say that you develop love for some on seeing their speciality. "This one's lecture is very good. This one has this very good speciality. This one speaks very well." These obstacles come in your becoming angels. You may be loving, but you, the soul, are detached: be loving to all with your stage of detachment. Do not be loving because of the speciality. "I like this one's virtue very much." You may imbibe that, but to be loving just because of that is wrong. An angel loves everyone. Each one should say, "Mine". There should be the feeling of belonging. Two things create obstacles to such an angelic stage. One is the awareness (bhaan) of the body and everyone has the natural experience of that; the awareness of the body of 63 births arises naturally. The other is the ego (abhimaan) of the body. The awareness of the body and the ego of the body. The further you progress in knowledge, the more you sometimes have ego about your own self and that ego brings you down. Why is there ego of the body? Whatever speciality you have, there is arrogance because of that speciality. "Am I any less? Everyone loves my lectures. The service that I do creates an impact. My handling is very good. The way I give courses is good." As you make further progress in knowledge or in service, there is this arrogance of the self, or you have love for the virtue, talent or speciality of others. However, whom would you remember? You would only remember body consciousness. "So and so has a very good intellect. My handling is very good." Those who move forward in service or their efforts have this arrogance. So check this. The method to check whether those who have arrogance truly do have that arrogance is: Whenever someone insults (apmaan) them or their ideas, advice, talent or their handling even slightly, they will very quickly have feelings about that. And when they feel insulted, an even more subtle sign of that is that it will create anger in them; there is also bossiness. That will not allow you to become angels. So, according to the present time, BapDada is giving you a signal once again: Reveal in your life the angelic form, the last form of the confluence age. Bring it into the corporeal form. By becoming an angel, it will become very easy to become bodiless. Check yourself: There isn't attachment even to your own speciality or to someone else's, even in a subtle way, is there? Is there any arrogance? Sometimes, even over a trivial matter, some children's stage fluctuates. Then, instead of having a happy heart and a happy face, either their face is full of thoughts or full of worry, and while moving along they become disheartened. Instead of being happy-hearted, you become disheartened. So, do you understand? Now, make the sanskars of the angelic stage, the last stage of the confluence age emerge. You saw Father Brahma. You have to follow the father, do you not? Many children experienced in the last stages, when they came to relate their news, that Baba was beyond the news, beyond sound. They would come to relate news of situations, they would come having made many plans, thinking, "I will tell Baba about this and this. I will ask Baba this", but when they came in front of Baba, they would forget what they had to say. That is the angelic stage. So, what lesson did you make firm today? Who am I? An angel. Remain beyond situations, specialities, your own specialities and the awareness of the body. Be a double-light angel because without becoming an angel you cannot claim a high status of a deity. You will go to the golden age, because you have become the children, and you will receive the inheritance, but not an elevated status. You made the promise, that you will always remain together, that you will rule together. You may not sit on the throne, but at least you would claim a right to the royal family. You have seen the royal court of that place, have you not? Those who have a right to the royal court also have a tilak and a crown; the tilak of the kingdom, and the sign of a kingdom is the crown. So, be a self- sovereign over a long period of time, not just every now and then. Although a self-sovereign over a long period of time may not sit on the throne, he would at least claim a right to become part of the royal family. Achcha.

Those who have come here for the first time, stand up! At least three-quarters of the gathering has got up. Birthday congratulations for meeting the Father in the corporeal form to those who have come here physically for the first time. BapDada gives all the children who have come here the blessing: You have come at the time of 'Too Late', but there is a special blessing for the new children who have come. Never have the thought, "How can we go forward?" For those who have come 'Too Late' - at present, you have come at the time of being late, you are not too late, and BapDada and the brothers and sisters of the Brahmin family have special feelings of co- operation for all of you. In the short time left, use every second in a worthwhile way, because in a short time, you have to attain a lot. You must not waste even a second. Continue to move along as a karma yogi. Do not stop performing actions, but add yoga to karma and keep a balance of karma and yoga. So, those who keep a balance receive extra blessings. Those who have come late - it will be too late in the future - still have a chance. You can make a lot of effort in a short time. BapDada is giving the blessing: When you children maintain courage, you definitely receive help from the Father.

It is the turn of Gujarat to serve everyone: Achcha, the new ones who have come here for the first time from Gujarat, stand up! Those who have come here to meet the Father the first time from Gujarat, wave your hands! (6000 have come from Gujarat.) It is good that you have all come. You saw your Madhuban, BapDada's Madhuban, and so congratulations for that. Achcha, all those from Gujarat, stand up! From the beginning, BapDada has considered Gujarat to be a room of Madhuban. You are the closest of all, loving and co-operative. Now, at present, BapDada saw the result of the homework that BapDada had given, that each zone should have programmes to make the whole zone free from obstacles. BapDada saw that each of the zones must be doing this in its own way. However, Gujarat has shown their record every month. They had sent their topic and exchanged their news every month, and this brings zeal and enthusiasm into the gathering. Instead of making effort individually, if you have programmes in a gathering systematically it enables everyone to pay attention well. The result should now be given to Baba whether you have become free from obstacles or not, and who has changed through these programmes. Congratulations for the classes as well. Congratulations for having the topics. However, now the result should be given of what difference they have made in a practical way. BapDada is now congratulating you that you have made effort while keeping the homework in your intellect. Therefore, Baba is giving congratulations for the effort you made. Similarly, make such small groups, just as BapDada has seen the groups of the different wings. The groups continue to meet one another turn by turn, and because of being small groups they are able to have discussions among themselves.

Many from the different wings have also come. BapDada is telling them too: Just as you make service plans, BapDada saw the result - He has received the result of three or four of them - you make plans for service and you put them into a practical form. Some have become co-operative in a practical way - they have become co-operative to a lesser extent, but they have become loving. Just as you give that result, in the same way, every wing should pay attention to the dharna of making their wing free from obstacles. Some of you do this; you keep in mind some points of dharna. However, you should also give the result of whether you did it or not, whether there was any progress or not and whether there was any transformation or not. What was the result? You should show Baba an example of such transformation. Because you have paid attention to service, service has grown. BapDada is pleased but now greater attention needs to be paid to dharna. At the end, even if you want to, you won't be able to do service. Whatever you have done up to now, that is all. At that time, the only thing that will be useful is your angelic life, being bodiless or putting a full-stop in a second; and everything is going to happen suddenly. Even if you have done service and not practised these things so much, and just remained engaged in service - you do have to remain engaged in service - a balance of both is required. BapDada is repeatedly giving the signal that everything is going to happen suddenly, and it will happen in such circumstances. Therefore, no one should complain to BapDada that He didn't tell anyone. Again and again, Baba is giving different signals. You receive the fruit and marks for service. There are four subjects and so you will receive marks for service, but there are also three other subjects. If you claim marks in one subject and less marks in the other three, what number will you receive? You should claim the first number in all four subjects. This is the pure desire that BapDada has for all the children. So, who are the stars of the Father's hopes? Raise your hands! You are the stars of the Father's hopes, and the greatest hope that BapDada has is: You should claim a good number in all four subjects. Otherwise, you will not be able to pass with honours. A maharathi is one who claims a good number in all four subjects. A maharathi may be called a maharathi, but if he doesn't claim a good number, then he is the star in whom there is hope, but not a star who fulfils Baba's hopes. So, what do you have to become? A star of hope, a star of success. So, Gujarat has kept a good aim. However, send your results to BapDada because others who see you will also have that enthusiasm and they will see what benefit there was from this gathering. The plan is good and congratulations for continuing with it regularly. It is fine. You have congratulations and you also have homework - you have both. Achcha.

Wings (this group has five different wings - Business, Women, Social Service, Transport and Rural): Each one has its own symbol. Whatever symbol each wing has, one person from that wing should come in front of Baba. Whether you are holding a board or the symbol, one or two of you should come in the front. All of you come in the front, that too is good. Now, face everyone! Achcha. You have done well. This is also a means to fill everyone with extra zeal and enthusiasm. If someone hadn't seen an aeroplane, at least they have seen one now (The transport wing had created foam aeroplanes). You do climb in your planes, do you not? You have to spend money to buy a ticket for that, whereas your plane of the mind and intellect can reach anywhere in the three worlds in a second. You have worked hard. Achcha.

Everyone is happy. Which wings are there? Business Wing, raise your hands! Both forms of transport (road and air), raise your hands! Women's Wing, raise your hands! They are showing their symbol. One thing that Baba asked has still not been put into a practical form. Create that group anywhere. For instance, you can bring them together in one zone, or where two or three zones are close by - not the VIPs who are just loving and who come and go, but those who are loving and in connection and also have a relationship. And the relationship is that even though they don't come for the murli class every day, they are at least hearing it by phone every day - they listen to the essence, blessing and slogan of the murli every day and stay in connection. It should not be that they come when you call them after six months. If they stay in connection, their relationship will be strong. The connection is such that it pulls them. If they only come once a year when you have a programme of the wings, then that is not called a relationship. There should be a close relationship and they should at least get their 'present' mark. They may do it by phone, but they should at least get their 'present' mark, "I am here". As much as possible, one zone individually or two or three zones together, where they may be close together, should at least have one gathering every three to six months. First of all, do this in your own zone. Two or three zones that are close together can do this together. Then, if you gather everyone together in one place, they will at least come to know one another. They should see who are experiencing this: when they see that doctors are coming, that such great doctors are practising this, then that will create an impact. Seeing all the others of the different wings in this way, it will create an impact on others - "This one is coming here; this one is also coming here" - and when they hear the experiences of one another, that too also influences them. So, show Baba this result in your next turn. Show the result of how many times you had such a gathering, where you had this gathering and how many attended that gathering. This is easy, is it not? Is it easy or difficult? All wings will do this, will you not? Others will also hear about it. Achcha.

Double-foreign brothers and sisters (from 80 countries): BapDada likes very much the programme you have made of everyone's gathering in Madhuban, because when you come to Madhuban you can see how big the family is, how much service is taking place everywhere, and the people of Bharat also take benefit from the service that is taking place abroad. The people abroad are doing this and so we should also do that. And those from abroad, when they hear the news of what is happening in Bharat, they take benefit from that wherever possible. It is difficult for the people from abroad to meet all the others from abroad, but there is double benefit in Madhuban. You are able to meet BapDada and also the family. Therefore, BapDada likes it very much when you hold these official meetings and small gatherings in Madhuban regularly and you have been making very good plans. You are also putting them into a practical form. Seeing the expansion of this every year, BapDada is congratulating the double foreigners everywhere. Congratulations! And by hearing the experiences of one another in the gatherings that have been taking place, many are able to receive power through those experiences. For instance, if someone becomes disheartened, then, hearing the experiences of one another - "this one always remains happy, his face is never wilted and is always happy in his heart" - hearing the experiences of one another, you are able to have enthusiasm. The experiences of one another are no less. According to the drama, each one has received one speciality or another from BapDada. So, when they hear the experiences, they have the enthusiasm: "If that one can do that, why can't I?" Never become disheartened. Big heart, Big Baba! Is Baba small? Baba is the greatest of all. So, the children's hearts should always be big. BapDada's slogan is: Big heart, true heart, clean heart - then your every desire is fulfilled. (Badi dil, sachchi dil, saaf dil, toh har murad hansil.) This is the world of rubbish, and so the rubbish can fly into the atmosphere at any time. However, do not keep the rubbish with you. What happens physically when your bedroom becomes filled with rubbish? There would be insects there if you didn't clean it, and then there would be illness. So, here, too, if you keep something in your mind and don't remove it, it will continue to grow. Simply say, "Baba, My Baba" and Baba will become present. Baba is bound to do that. A child, the Father's child, God's child, remembers, "My Baba" - then it is not possible for Baba not to become present. You have the rope with which to tie the Father. What is that? The love in your heart. Some have love for the Father. You cannot say that they don't have love. However, there are two types of love. One is on the basis of knowledge, that I am a soul, I am not a body. And the Father of souls is the Supreme Father alone, and He cannot be God of anyone except souls, the lights. So, the Father is the Father; He is the form of light. He gives His co-operation. However, it should automatically emerge from your heart at every moment - My Baba! You make someone a companion for the right time. A companion is useful at a time of need. So, you have kept the Father combined with you, you have made Him your Companion, and so take the benefit of His companionship at the right time. Remember Him with love. One is love on the basis of knowledge and the other is love from the heart. So, check whether you have love in your heart. It is difficult to forget someone you love. Generally, those who are diabetic are forbidden to have sugar, and yet they love sweet things. So, they would remember sweet things. Do they forget them? They would take the doctor's medicine and also eat sweet things. So, when they have such love for those things then, even if you asked them to, they would not renounce them. And, here, this One is the Father. He is the One who gives you the experience of all relationships. All of you are listening, are you not? Although Baba is speaking to the foreigners, everyone is listening. So, now check whether you have love in your heart. Have you made God your Friend? Why would you make someone your friend? There is greater love for a friend than for a father. So, you have made God your Friend, have you not? Whenever anything comes in front of you, tell Baba, "Baba, You look after it." Become small children; do not become big. Then the Father will look after everything. Keep Him tied with the string of love in such a way that He cannot even move! Do you understand? Did all of you understand? Many times children say: Baba, today I forgot Baba! Hearing this, BapDada would be so amazed! You forgot! You have forgotten Him for 63 births; you forgot Him even now! This is just for one birth, and such a short birth at that. You forgot Him for 21 births. Are you still forgetting Him? Therefore, now understand the cleverness of Maya. Sometimes, you offer hospitality to Maya. You say: We will be ready on time. There is still some time left. The board of 'Too Late' has not yet been put up. We will be ready on time. And, giving her support and hospitality, Maya continues to drink tea and coffee. Instead of following the Father, you continue to follow Maya: "We are still effort-makers. We haven't yet become complete. This happens all the time." This is becoming Maya's followers. So, if BapDada comes to tour around and sees your faces, what type of faces should He see? Sometimes, the faces are not so good. You think a lot: What should I do? Should I do this or not? Will there be benefit in this or not? Will it be all right? Follow the Father! Father Brahma reached his destination, did he not? Why do you think too much? Simply follow the Father. You have waste thoughts; a whole wave of it comes. Baba is not speaking to just the foreigners, but to everyone.

Speaking to David Nelson (Publisher - Guest from abroad): BapDada saw and also knows that the child has a lot of zeal and enthusiasm. Now, in order to put that zeal and enthusiasm into a practical form, if you are co-operative and continue to take and give co-operation, you will be able to go ahead. Do not let your zeal and enthusiasm become slack. Situations will come, but do not allow the wings of zeal and enthusiasm to become loose. Continue to fly. You have wings with which to fly. If your zeal and enthusiasm decrease even slightly, you won't be able to fly high. The situation will go away, but your happiness and your zeal and enthusiasm should not go. BapDada has seen that you have good enthusiasm. Now, always keep that with you. You can take a jump.

Speaking to Leticia Shahani from the Philippines and guest: This one is old. It is good. You have served her and brought her with you. You are good. You heard, did you not? Never let go of your zeal and enthusiasm. Continue to fly. If any situation comes, it will remain down below; you continue to fly high; you will remain up above. Achcha.

To all the children from everywhere who have a happy heart, a true heart and a clean heart every thought and every desire is therefore fulfilled. This means that whatever thought you have, you have success in that. So, seeing all the children from everywhere with all these three specialities - a big heart, a clean heart and a true heart - BapDada is pleased more than a multimillion times, so that the song automatically plays: Wah My children! wah! Children who are always worthy of receiving congratulations, Wah children! wah! The ones who always continue to move along making the Father their Companion, the ones who put their hand in His hand - the hand is shrimat, and so for those who always put their hand in His hand and fly, - walking is now finished, but those who fly, those who follow shrimat and Father Brahma at every step, do not think, "Should I do this or not? Will it be OK or not? I don't know if everyone will like it or not?" Just follow. What did Father Brahma do? Whatever the Father did was right and there is no need for you to think about anything. It is easy to follow, is it not? What need is there for you to think? Then your head becomes heavy. Then you say, "I don't know what has happened today, but my head feels heavy." It is because you begin to think about something or other.

To all the children from everywhere, congratulations from the heart and multimillionfold greetings. To those who will be engaged in their service at Shiv Ratri, Baba is giving birthday greetings and congratulations for Shiv Ratri from now. And to those who are going to come, and those who send their letters and e-mails - they all reach BapDada in less than a second - to all of them and also to the souls who are thirsty for BapDada, those who are in bondage who even make the beatings they get into a garland around their necks, love and remembrance to such souls too. And to the new loving souls that are emerging now, but who are not so many, they have to be loving and co-operative, they have to be double. To all the youth and old children from everywhere, the mothers, the Pandavas, greetings for your birthday in advance and the Father's birthday. Congratulations. Achcha.

To the Dadis: All of you are number one, are you not? Never become numberwise. Be number one. What is the big deal if you become numberwise after belonging to the Father? Be number one! However, become number one while being an instrument and being humble. (Mohiniben gave Baba love and remembrance from Dadi Nirmala Shanta).

Speaking to Dadi Shantamani: You are number one in having courage. This is why BapDada is pleased. When the child has courage, the Father helps.

Speaking to Rameshbhai: (His 75th birthday today): Birthday greetings. It is good. On this birthday, you definitely have to give something to BapDada. Whatever you feel. Achcha.

Speaking to the senior sisters from abroad: Look, according to the drama, all of you who have become instruments are from Bharat. (Speaking to Jayantiben): This one was also born in Bharat. Your birth was directly through Father Brahma. It was Baba who first sent you on service. So, look, everyone! Your foundation is strong. You have all taken sustenance. Even though you may have come later, you have the fortune of having taken direct sustenance. You, Jayantiben and Rajni - also have fortune. She even used to listen to the murli over the phone. (Sister Gayatri has also sent remembrance.)

To all senior sisters: It is good. All of you together in the gathering bring beauty. And you all feel good when you all come, do you not? There are many benefits: meeting the Father, exchanging news with one another and bringing newness into service. This is very good because you do service at your own places. However, by hearing one another's experiences, you have enthusiasm. BapDada is pleased.

Sarla Didi: Are you all right? You have maintained courage well. You have worked hard and it will bear fruit. It is good.

Dr. Ashok Mehta and all sisters who served the chariot of Dadi Gulzar: It is good. You have made the chariot ready. Congratulations for that. Everyone is giving blessings from their heart to all of you. It is good and the doctors are also served through this. They too are coming close. Very good. All of these sisters do very good service. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations.

At the time of taking leave: Each child of the Father is very much loved by the Father. Not everyone can be made to sit on the stage, but all of you should consider yourselves to be on the stage. You are sitting in the heart, even closer than on the stage. Everything has to be considered, but each one of you is loved by the Father; each one is more loved than the other. BapDada's vision doesn't go to just those in the front; it goes to the very back. Each one of you should feel that you are sitting in front of Baba. BapDada is giving the drishti of personally sitting in front of Him. Achcha.
