Together with doing service, also make plans to become complete. Be deeply concerned to become karmateet.

Today, Father Shiva, has come to celebrate with His saligram children the Jayanti of His own incarnation and also of you children. The Jayanti of the incarnation is so wonderful. Children from everywhere have all come running to celebrate the Father's and their own Jayanti. The Jayanti, that is, the day of incarnation of the Father and the children is the same. The wonder is that the birthday of the Father and the children is on the same day. So, today, have all of you saligram children come to give congratulations to the Father or to receive them? You have come to give them, you have also come to receive them. The sign of these being together is that there is lots and lots and lots of love between you and the Father. This is why your birthday is together and you also remain combined throughout your life, that is, you are together. Have you ever seen such love? And in terms of the occupation, the occupation of the Father and the children is of transforming the world. What is the promise you have made? That you will go to paramdham (the supreme abode), your sweet home together. Or, will you go later? You want to go together, do you not? So, there is such love between you and the Father. The Father on His own cannot do anything nor can the children do anything on their own. Are you able to do anything? Are you able to do anything without the Father? The Father too is unable to do anything. This is why He has taken the support of Father Brahma to create all of you Brahmin children. Without Brahmins, even the Father cannot do anything. This is why, on the birthday of this alokik incarnation, the Father is giving you and you children are giving the Father multimillion-fold congratulations and greetings. You are giving these to the Father and the Father is giving these to you. From amrit vela, even from before that, the Father received congratulations, greetings, cards, letters and sweet songs of the heart. Even now, BapDada is seeing that all the children everywhere in this land and abroad are giving congratulations to BapDada in a subtle way. They are reaching here. This sound (transmission) is reaching the children and the sounds from the children's hearts are reaching the Father. Children everywhere are dancing in happiness. Wah Baba! Wah, we saligram souls! You are all singing songs of wah, wah! Devotees have been celebrating the memorial of this birthday of yours from the copper age until now. Devotees are also no less in their bhavna. However, they are devotees, they are not children. They celebrate every year and you celebrate the importance of the incarnation once throughout the whole cycle. They take a vow every year. They hold a fast and they also take a vow. You take the vow just once. They have copied you, but there is a difference between the importance you give and the importance of their memorial. They too take a vow of purity, but they take that vow every year for one day. All of you have also taken the vow of purify once from the moment you took birth, have you not? Have you taken it, or do you still have to take it? You have taken it. You have taken it once; they take it every year. Have all of you taken it? You haven't taken the vow of just celibacy, but the vow of complete purity. Pandavas, have you taken the vow of complete purity? Or is just celibacy fine? Celibacy is the foundation. There isn't just celibacy, there are the other four (vices) with it too. Have you also taken the vow for all the other four, or for just the one? Check this. You have freedom to become angry, do you not? Do you not have that freedom? Is it that you have to become a little angry? Do you not have to become angry? Speak Pandavas! Do you not have to become angry? You do have to become angry! OK, BapDada has seen that anger and its companions.... - you have renounced the greatest evil spirit. Just as mothers in a family don't have that much love for, or attachment to their grown-up old children, but they do have a lot of love for their grandchildren. Little children are loved very much - so, BapDada has seen that children's love for the greatest evil spirit out of the 5 vices has reduced, but you still have a little love for the children of these vices, that is, the little traces and progeny of the vices. Do you have love for them? Sometimes, there is love for them. Is there love for them? Mothers? Double foreigners, do you not become angry? Some speak to Baba with a lot of cleverness. Should Baba tell you what they say? Should Baba tell you? If Baba tells you, you will have to renounce it today. Are you ready? Are you ready to leave them? Or, will you accumulate the paper in your file just as you do every year? The file of your promises that the Father has, has become very big. Therefore, now too, it isn't that you will add one more paper of your promise to the file, is it? Will you make it final or will you add it to the file? What will you do? Speak teachers, what will you do? Final? Final? Raise your hands. Don't make a promise just like that. In that case, BapDada would adopt a stern form. It that OK? Double foreigners, will you make it final? Final? Those who will make it final, raise your hands! Record this on the TV. Raise your hands high, not low. Not the silver-aged way. Achcha. Is this all right? OK, listen! What are the conversations between the Father and the children? BapDada continues to smile. The Father asks: Why did you become angry? You reply: I didn't become angry, but I was made angry. I didn't do it, but I was made to become angry. So what should the Father say now? What do you then say? "If it had been You, You too would have become angry". You speak very sweet things! You then say: From being incorporeal, just take a corporeal body and see for yourself! So, now, tell Me, what should the Father say to such sweet children? Nevertheless, the Father has to become merciful. He says: OK, I am forgiving you now, but don't do it in the future. However, you give very good replies.

Therefore, purity is the greatest of all decorations of you Brahmins. This is why they decorate your images so much. That decoration is a memorial of your purity - complete purity, not purity just for the sake of it. Complete purity is the greatest of all property, royalty and personality of your Brahmin life. This is why even devotees hold a fast for a day. They have copied you. They also hold a fast of their food and drink. The fasting of food is also necessary. Why? You Brahmins have also taken a firm vow about your food and drink, have you not? When you are all asked to fill in your Madhuban forms, you are also asked if your food and diet are pure. You are asked this, are you not? So, is your fast of food and drink firm? Is it firm or does it sometimes become weak? For the double foreigners, it should be doubly strong. Is it doubly firm? Is it firm for the double foreigners? Is it doubly firm? Or, is it that when you sometimes become tired, you say: OK, never mind, today I will eat something (from outside). You don't become a little slack, do you? Are you firm in your food and drink? This is why devotees also hold a fast of their food and diet. The third vow is of the staying awake throughout the night (jagran). They remain awake the whole night. You Brahmins take a vow to awaken from the sleep of ignorance. You don't have any sleep of ignorance in between, do you? Devotees are copying you. It is because you are so firm that they are copying you. Never have any sleep of ignorance, that is, the sleep of weakness, carelessness or laziness. Or, does it not matter if you nod off a little? Do you doze off sometimes? Some even doze at amrit vela. However, just think what the devotees are copying from you in your memorials! They remain so firm that, no matter what happens, they don't break their vow. On this day, devotees will hold a fast of their food and drink and what will you do today? Will you have a picnic? They will hold a fast and you will have a picnic and cut a cake. You will have a picnic because you have taken a vow from birth. This is why you will have a picnic.

What does BapDada now want from you children? You know this. You have very good thoughts. You have such good thoughts that Baba becomes very happy on hearing about them. You have the thought, but what happens later? Why do the thoughts become weak? Since you want to do something because you have a lot of love for the Father, and the Father also knows that all of you children have a lot of love for BapDada in your heart; that all of you raise your hands saying you have not only 100% love, but even more than 100% love, and the Father also agrees that all of you have passed in love! But, why the but? Do you have love or not? Is there a but or not? Pandavas, is there a but? Does a but come in-between sometimes? You are not saying no. Therefore, this means it is yes. BapDada has noted one thing, that for the majority, there is one reason why the promise becomes weak. It is just one word. Think what that one word is. Teachers, speak! What is that one word? Pandavas, speak! What is that one word? You have remembered it, have you not? The one word is "I". The word "I" is used in the form of arrogance and also in the form of making you weak. "What I said, what I did, what I understood, that alone is right. That is what should happen." This is the "I" of arrogance. When that "I" is not fulfilled, then you also become disheartened: "I am unable to do this. I am unable to continue. It is very difficult. The "I" of body consciousness should change. "I" reminds you of self-respect and "I" also brings you into body consciousness. "I" makes you disheartened and "I" also brings happiness in your heart. Do you know what the sign of arrogance is? If someone has the slightest trace of body consciousness, what is the sign of that? Such a person is unable to tolerate disrespect. Arrogance will not allow you to tolerate being insulted. If someone tells you even slightly that this is not right, so become a little humble, you would feel insulted. This is a sign of arrogance.

BapDada was smiling in the subtle region. Children give lectures everywhere on Shiv Ratri. You are now giving lots of lectures everywhere on Shiv Ratri, are you not? BapDada remembered a point of the children that you use in them. You say: On Shiv Ratri, the goat is sacrificed. It says, "Mei mei" a lot. The goat says, "Mei, mei", so on Shiv Ratri sacrifice this (I, I). So, the Father was smiling when He heard this. Therefore, you too should sacrifice this "I" (mai). Are you able to surrender it? Are you able to do this? Pandavas, are you able to do this? Double foreigners, are you able to do this? Full surrender or just surrender? Full surrender! Today, BapDada will not make you simply make such a promise whilst hoisting the flag. Today, Baba will not make you make a promise in which you simply add another piece of paper to your file. What do you think? Dadis, should we ask them to make such a promise today too? Will you make it final or will you accumulate another piece of paper in your file? Speak! (Make them make it final.) Do you have the courage? Do you have the courage? You are very deeply absorbed in listening to this and are therefore not raising your hands. Nothing will happen tomorrow, will it? It won't, will it? Tomorrow, Maya will come. She will come to tour around. Maya also has love for you because you are all making plans for service with a lot of pomp and show. Since you are doing service with a lot of splendour, it means you are bringing time of complete perfection close. Don't think that you have just given a lecture, but that you are in fact bringing time closer. You are doing good service. BapDada is pleased, but BapDada sees that time is coming close. You are bringing it close. You haven't just brought together 100,000 or 150,000, but you have brought time closer. Gujarat did this just now. Bombay will do it, and other places are also doing this. OK, if not 100,000, then just 50,000. But you are giving all of them a message, and so, together with this, have you also made preparations for completion? Have you made the preparations? You are inviting destruction, so, have you made the preparations? Dadi had asked the question if we should now make plans that would bring about revelation quickly. BapDada says: Revelation is a matter of just a second, but before revelation takes place, BapDada is asking whether those carrying out establishment are ever-ready. Should the curtains be opened? Or, is it that someone is decorating the ears and someone decorating the head? Are you ready? You will become ready, but when? Give a date. Just as you fixed a date just now, that you have to give the message in this month, in the same way, all of you have to be ever-ready. At least 16,000 should be ever-ready. Put aside 900,000, at least 16,000 should be ready. Are they ready? Should Baba clap? Don't say "Yes" just like that! Become ever-ready and BapDada will touch them. He will clap and the elements will begin their work, and the scientists will begin their work. What is the delay? They are all ready. Are the 16,000 ready? Are they ready? It will happen. (You know more.) You now have to renounce the reply of saying, "It will happen!" Baba should receive a report from 16,000 that they are ever-ready, that they have become complete with total purity. It will not take long for BapDada to clap. Give a date. (You give a date.) Ask everyone. Look, it has to happen. However, you were told to bring about total transformation of the word "I". Only then will you go with the Father. Otherwise, you will have to go after Him. Therefore, BapDada is not opening the gates now, because you have to go with Him.

Father Brahma is asking all the children to give a date for opening the gates. You want to open the gates, do you not? You want to go back, do you not? To celebrate today means to become. We won't just cut the cake, but also end the "I". Are you thinking about it or have you already thought about it? Everyone's variety of thoughts reach BapDada at amrit vela. So, discuss this amongst yourselves and give Baba the date. Until you fix the date, you are unable to accomplish any task. First of all, the maharathis should fix the date, and then everyone else will follow. Those who are to follow you are ready. And, with your courage, they will receive extra power. For instance, you gave zeal and enthusiasm just now and so they became ready. Therefore, now create a plan to become complete. Have the deep concern that you have to become karmateet. No matter what happens, you have to become this. You have to do this. This has to happen. The sound of the scientists and the sound of those who are to bring about destruction are reaching the Father's ears. They too are asking: Why are You stopping this? Why are You stopping this? The advance party is also asking for a date to be fixed. Therefore, fix a date. Father Brahma is also asking for a date to be fixed. So have this meeting. But, otherwise, BapDada is pleased with the service that you are doing. Everyone abroad is doing it and all the zones in Bharat are also doing it. The householders are doing it. Everyone is doing this. Congratulations for this. Congratulations for the service. Congratulations! Now, perform this wonder! Baba is especially telling the Dadis and the senior brothers. Now, in the next Shiv Ratri, let there be the dhamaal (turmoil) and also the kamaal (wonders). Teachers in the first line, is this OK? You will have meetings, will you not? BapDada now wants the date. Not that it will happen or we are doing it. Baba doesn't want that. That has gone on for too long. First, the children should give the date and then the Father will make it final. BapDada is also saying that in the next Shiv Ratri, there should be both the dhamal and the kamaal at the same time. Now make preparations for this. Teachers, do you agree? Double foreigners, do you agree? Those in the first line, do you agree? Pandavas, do you agree? (Ha ji). Congratulations! Many are unhappy. BapDada can't bear to see so much sorrow. First of all, you Shaktis and the Pandavas who are the form of deities should feel mercy. They are calling out so much. The sound of their calling out should now be echoing in your ears. You are holding programmes called the "Call of Time". Now listen to the call of the devotees. Listen to the call of those who are in sorrow. You have a good number in service. BapDada is even giving you a certificate for that. There is very good zeal and enthusiasm. Gujarat has claimed number one. Therefore, congratulations for being number one! Now, at least listen to a little bit of their call. Poor helpless ones are calling out a great deal. They are calling out from their heart. They are desperate. The scientists are also shouting a great deal: When should it be done? When should we do it? When should it be done? They are calling out. You may cut the cake today, but, from tomorrow, listen to their call. Celebration is the festivity of the confluence age. Celebrate on one side and on the other side, create those souls. Achcha. So what did you hear?

You have the song: Have a little mercy for those who are unhappy. No one except you can have mercy. Therefore, now, according to the time, become master oceans of mercy. Have mercy for yourself and for all souls. Now, let your form be that of a lighthouse and give the rays of different lights to everyone. Give the rays of drops of attainment to all the souls of the world who are lacking everything. Achcha.

Double foreigners: BapDada has double happiness seeing the double foreigners. Why? Why does Baba have double the happiness? BapDada is especially pleased that the double foreigners have performed double wonders. What wonders have you shown? Look, even now, in this group, there are the different branches of the trees of the different countries. There are people from 60 countries that have come and there are also many more. So, all the different branches have become one sandalwood tree. You have performed this wonder. All of you are the branches of the same tree, are you not? Or, are you separate? Are you all one? And, the second wonder is that you have made the cultures of the different countries one culture. It is not the foreign culture nor the culture of Bharat. It has now become the one Brahmin culture. So now which culture do you belong to? Do you belong to the foreign culture or the Brahmin culture? Brahmin culture. Therefore, you have become one culture and one sandalwood tree. So BapDada has double happiness on your double wonder. Do you remember the 60 countries or the one Madhuban? You are all Madhuban residents, are you not? This is why BapDada has double happiness. All of you are also very happy, are you not? How much happiness do you have? How much happiness do you have? You have a lot of happiness. Always remain happy. Remain fruitful. Also continue to make others wealthy with happiness. The gathering is very good. It is an international gathering. So BapDada is giving all of you congratulations for your alokik birthday. Congratulations! Congratulations. Achcha.

It is the turn of Karnataka to serve everyone: It is good. This golden chance of service is a chance to come close to the family. When you come for service, where does everyone's vision go? Those from Karnataka are serving this time. Therefore, everyone remembers Karnataka and so you receive the blessings of remembrance. Now, BapDada has one elevated hope in those from Karnataka that has not yet been fulfilled. Should I tell you? Teachers, should I tell you? BapDada has seen that in Karnataka there are those who can become heir quality. There are two to four other places also. However, Baba is not talking about them, but about the many heir souls who can emerge from Karnataka. Don't just applaud, but make them emerge in a practical way. There are very good ones there. BapDada's vision falls on them, but the vision of the teachers has not fallen on them. Did you hear? Pandavas, did you hear? Many can emerge. BapDada remembers them in every corner. The heirs of Karnataka can run the whole yagya. What did you understand? Now make them emerge, and they can be made to emerge very easily. It is just that you have not paid that attention. You have become engaged in general service. The sparkle of personal service and service through the mind can make heirs emerge. Sustenance is needed. Take the initiative. Tell Dadi that you will become co-operative. You will become this and also make others this. Will you become this? Achcha. We shall see. We shall see in 6 months. (All three Dadis should come.) The Dadis will come, but first make them emerge. Dadis will come. First prepare the heirs and then invite the Dadis. They will come. Make whatever plans you want, but heirs can be made to emerge. You will have to give sustenance. Teachers, conduct a class on how heir-quality souls can be made to emerge before you go. Conduct this class. What do you think? Is this possible? Achcha, Baba is giving you 6 months and then we shall see. See where more "mikes" can emerge from and where more heirs can emerge. It has to happen. When time comes to an end, all of them will definitely emerge. Did you hear? Don't just nod in agreement, but demonstrate it by doing it. Those from Karnataka nod in agreement very well. You do like this. It looks good. There is a lot of quality there. Achcha.

SpARC group: Achcha, now make a plan that those from your meeting become an example at their own respective places, for bringing time closer. This is the plan you are making, is it not? About what preparations you need to make for the times to come? BapDada is also giving this signal: In order to face any difficulty, the easy way is first of all to use the power of concentration (stability). Your mind should become still and then the power of concentration will be able to make very good decisions. This is why they portray a set of scales in court. The scales are shown as a symbol for judgement for the needle becomes totally still. Therefore, at that time when there is upheaval everywhere, with the power of concentration, you can stabilise your mind on whatever you want. You can judge which power to use in a particular situation. So, the power of concentration automatically brings determination and determination is the key to success. So, make yourself such an example and continue to inspire others. Is this all right? It is good. Each wing has very good zeal and enthusiasm for the progress of its own service. It is good and it will be good. It is good that all those from different centres are engaged in very good work and are making plans. Success is guaranteed anyway. Achcha.

To the mothers: Achcha, special love and remembrance filled with BapDada's blessings to all the sweet mothers and the kumaris. The mothers are the decoration. There is no beauty without the mothers, neither at the centres nor in Madhuban. The Father especially had to come to make the mothers move forward. If the mothers are asked to stand up, the whole hall would stand up. Therefore, remain seated! Today, the Pandavas are no less either. There are half and half. It is good. Look, the praise of victory is of the Pandavas. The praise of the Shaktis is of giving power. So, the name of the Pandavas reminds everyone of victory. This is why each one of you Pandavas has to keep the tilak of victory on your forehead in your awareness. Achcha, children have also come. Children say that they shouldn't be left out. There is beauty also of the children. BapDada has heard that young children have become instruments to bring their parents into knowledge. Wah, children, wah! Children become instruments to benefit their family. So, it is the greatness of the children. Achcha.

All the teachers are BapDada's right hands. The Pandavas are not left hands. Pandavas are also right hands. The others are left hands. All of you are right hands. Teachers now have to become images that grant visions. If you now fully surrender the consciousness of even the slightest bit of "I", people will begin to have visions. This curtain of the consciousness of "I" sometimes comes in-between. When this curtain is removed, everyone will have visions of BapDada from each one of you. Then, these drums will beat: The Father has come in person. He has come, He has come. The visions will not be through divine vision, but they will be in practical form. Only the one sound will emerge from everyone's lips: This is the Father in person. You are making such preparations, are you not? Achcha.

To all the elevated souls who are images of the Father in person; to the souls who are close to the Father and have constant zeal and enthusiasm; to all the children who take every step equal to the Father's; to all children everywhere who are worthy of congratulations of Brahmin birth; to the souls who are full with the power of concentration (stability), BapDada's love, remembrance and multimillion-fold birthday greetings. Congratulations, congratulations and namaste.

To the Dadis: (Baba was given news of Gujarat - everyone became united.) You saw the practical form of how there is so much power in thought. You became free from waste. There was unity. Both service and yoga are very good. (They weren't tired.) The chart of service everywhere is good. Now, simply make everyone complete. Karnataka can do a lot. They just need sustenance there. (There are many centres in Karnataka.) Not just centres, there are also many big personalities there. Someone should do this practically. Someone should do this service in Karnataka, they can do it. Make plans. It is good. However, you are always in Baba's arms. You remain merged in Baba's arms. You are BapDada's co-operative arms and you remain in His arms. You are His arms for service and you remain in His arms. Achcha. Dadis are saying that they are the arms and that they are also in the arms. The same applies to you. Where do you stay? You stay in Baba's arms, do you not? Or, do you come out of them? Those who are loved always remain in the arms, and they become the arms and become engaged in service. You are so fortunate that you are God's arms. The arms are said to be physical power. The arms of the Father means you are a sign of the Father's power. This is why goddesses and deities have been portrayed with many arms. They haven't shown legs, but they have shown arms. They have portrayed Ravan with many heads, but goddesses and deities are shown with many arms because arms are a sign of power. Therefore, look how many arms there are! You are the first arms. The original jewels have taken the contract to stay in unity. First are the original jewels of the time of establishment and the next are the original jewels of the beginning of service. There is importance of both types of original jewels. There is, isn't there? All of them are sitting at the front. It is good. Bring time close. The householders remain even more free now. Look, since the householders became engaged in service, the atmosphere has been transformed. Otherwise, people used to run away from you. Now they say: Come, come to us. This is the wonder of the householders. It isn't that the householders cannot enter in the rosary of 108. Those who are surrendered with their mind are in the list of those who have surrendered. Achcha.

Beloved Avyakt BapDada hoisted the flag with His hands and gave everyone congratulations and greetings for the 67th Trimurti Shiv Jayanti.

On this day, everyone gave and received congratulations for their birthday and also hoisted the flag. However, the day is now to come very soon when all you souls will stand on the globe and everyone will see the Father's flag on your face. The flag of cloth is just for the sake of it, but the face of each one of you children should show the Father's image. You have to hoist such a flag. You have to bring that day, very, very, very soon. It has to come. It has to come.
