Essence:
Sweet children, the knowledge that the Father teaches you
has nothing to do with occult power. A magic mantra doesn’t
work for studying.

Question:
Why are deities said to be wise whereas human beings are
not?
Answer:
Because deities are full of all virtues whereas human
beings have no virtues. It is because deities are wise
that people worship them. Their batteries are charged and
this is why they are said to be worth a pound. When their
batteries have become discharged and they are worth only a
penny, they would be called senseless.
Om Shanti
The Father has explained to you children that this is a
place of study (pathshala). This is a study. You attain that
status (deity) through this study. This should be considered
to be a school or university. People come here from far away
to study. What do they come here to study? They have that
aim and objective in their intellects. We come here to study
and the One teaching us is called the Teacher. The Gita is
the versions of God. There is no other matter. The Gita is
the book of the One who teaches, but He doesn’t actually
read a book. He doesn't hold the Gita in His hand. These are
the versions of God. Human beings cannot be called God. God,
is One, the Highest on High. The incorporeal world, the
subtle region and the corporeal world are the whole
universe. The play is not enacted in the incorporeal world
or the subtle region; it is acted out here. The cycle of 84
births is also here. This is called the play of the cycle of
84. This is a predestined play. These matters have to be
understood because you are receiving the directions of God,
the Highest on High. There is nothing else. Only the One is
called the One with all powers, the World Almighty
Authority. He Himself explains the meaning of the word
"Authority". People do not understand this because all of
them are tamopradhan. This is called the iron age. It is not
that it is the iron age for some, the golden age for some
and the silver age for others; no. Since it is now hell,
human beings can’t say that this is heaven for them just
because they have a lot of wealth and property; that is not
possible. This play is predestined. The golden age is now
the past; it cannot exist at this time. All of these matters
have to be understood. The Father sits here and explains all
of these things. It used to be their kingdom in the golden
age. The people of Bharat who were of that time are called
golden aged. Now, they would surely be called iron aged.
When they were golden aged, that was called heaven. It isn't
that hell would also be called heaven. People have their own
dictates. When they have the happiness of wealth, they
consider themselves to be in heaven. "I have a lot of wealth
and so I am in heaven." However, reasoning says that that is
not possible. This is hell. Even though someone may have one
to two million, this world is diseased. The golden age is
called the world that is free from disease. It is the same
world. In the golden age, it is called the yogi world
whereas in the iron age, it is called the bhogi world (those
who indulge in sensual pleasures). There, they are yogi
because there are no vices there. So, this is a school, and
there is no question of having power. Would a teacher show
his power? You have the aim and objective of becoming
so-and-so. Through this study, you change from human beings
into deities. This is not a matter of a magic mantra or
occult power; this is a school. Is there anything to do with
occult power in a school? They study and become doctors or
barristers. Lakshmi and Narayan too were human beings, but
they were pure. This is why they are called deities. You
definitely do have to become pure. This is the impure old
world.
People think that it takes hundreds of thousands of years
for the world to become old. Only after the iron age will
the golden age come. You are now at the confluence age. No
one knows about this confluence age. They have shown the
golden age to be hundreds of thousands of years. The Father
comes and explains these things. He is called the Supreme
Soul. The Father of souls is called Baba. He doesn’t have
any other name. Baba's name is Shiva. People also go to the
Shiva temple. Only the Supreme Soul, Shiva, is called the
incorporeal One. He doesn't have a human body. You souls
come here to play your parts and this is why you receive
human bodies. He is Shiva and you are saligrams. People
worship Shiva and the saligrams because they have been and
gone in the living form. They must have done something
before they departed. That is why they are well known and
worshipped. No one knows about their previous birth. They
are praised in this birth. People worship the deities. In
this birth, many have become leaders too. Stamps are
produced of the very good sages and holy men who have been
and gone to make them famous. Whose name would be remembered
as the greatest here? Who is the greatest of all here? It is
God alone who is the Highest on High. He is the Incorporeal
and His praise is completely separate. The praise of deities
is separate from that of human beings. Human beings cannot
be called deities. Deities had all the virtues. Lakshmi and
Narayan have been and gone. They were the pure masters of
the world, and they are worshipped because pure ones are
worthy of worship. Those who are impure cannot be said to be
worthy of worship. Impure ones always worship pure ones.
When a kumari is pure she is worshipped, but when she
becomes impure, she has to bow down at everyone's feet. At
this time, all are impure whereas everyone in the golden age
was pure. That is the pure world and the iron age is the
impure world. This is why they call out to the Purifier
Father. They do not call out to Him when they are pure. The
Father Himself says: No one remembers Me at the time of
happiness. This refers to Bharat alone. The Father only
comes in Bharat. Bharat has become impure at this time. It
is Bharat that was pure. If you want to see the pure
deities, you can go to the temples and see them there. All
deities are pure, and the heads (main ones) of them are
shown in the temples. In the kingdom of Lakshmi and Narayan,
all were pure. As were the king and queen, so the subjects.
At this time, all are impure. Everyone continues to call
out: O Purifier, come! Sannyasis would never accept Krishna
as God or brahm. They believe God to be incorporeal. His
image is worshipped as that of the Incorporeal. His accurate
name is Shiva. When you souls come here and adopt bodies,
you are given names. The soul is imperishable whereas the
body is perishable. Souls shed bodies and take others. There
have to be 84 births, there cannot be 8.4 million births.
The Father explains: This world was new and righteous in the
golden age and this same world then became unrighteous. That
is the land of truth where everyone speaks the truth. Bharat
is called the land of truth. The land of falsehood then
becomes the land of truth. Only the true Father comes and
creates the land of truth. He is called the true Emperor,
the Truth. This is the land of falsehood; whatever people
say is false. Deities have sensible intellects and human
beings worship them. It is said: Wise and senseless. The
Father tells you who makes you wise and who then makes you
senseless. It is the Father who makes you wise and full of
all virtues. He Himself comes and gives you His own
introduction. Just as you are souls and you adopt bodies
here to play your parts, so I too enter this one just once.
You know that He is the only One. He alone is called the
Almighty Authority. No human being can be called the
Almighty Authority. Even Lakshmi and Narayan cannot be
called that because there is also the One who gives them
power. Impure human beings cannot have power. The power that
the soul has gradually becomes degraded, that is, the
satopradhan power that the soul has then becomes tamopradhan
power. Similarly, a motor car comes to a standstill when
there is no petrol in it. This battery does not become
discharged again and again; it has been given its full time.
At the end of the iron age, the battery becomes cold. The
satopradhan masters of the world lost their power because
they became tamopradhan; they had no power left. They became
worth not a penny. When there was the deity religion in
Bharat, they were worth a pound. It is said: Religion is
might. There is power in the deity religion. They were the
masters of the world. What power did they have? They didn't
have the power to fight etc. They receive power from the
Father, the Almighty Authority. What power? The Father
explains: Sweetest children, you souls were satopradhan and
are now tamopradhan. Instead of being the masters of the
world, you have become the slaves of the world. The Father
explains: Ravan, the five vices, has snatched away all your
strength. This is why the people of Bharat have become
poverty-stricken. Do not think that scientists have a lot of
power. That is not power. This is spiritual power which you
receive by having yoga with the Almighty Authority Father.
It is as though a battle is taking place between science and
silence at this time. You go into silence and you receive
power through that. By receiving the power of silence, you
go to the world of silence. You remember the Father and
detach yourself from your bodies. On the path of devotion,
you beat your heads a great deal in order to go to God.
However, because of calling Him omnipresent, you couldn’t
find the path; you became tamopradhan. So, this is a study.
A study cannot be called power. The Father says: First of
all, become pure, and then understand the knowledge of how
the world cycle turns. The Father alone is knowledge-full.
There is no question of power in that. Children do not know
how the world cycle turns. You actors are playing roles.
This is an unlimited drama. Previously, when people used to
perform their parts in a drama, the actors could be changed.
However, now they make movies. It is easy for the Father to
explain using the example of the movie. Those are little
movies and this is the big one. In a play (worldly drama),
the actors can be changed. This drama is eternal, and, once
something has been shot, it cannot be changed. This whole
world is an unlimited movie. There is no question of power.
Amba is called Shakti, but she still has a name. Why is she
called Amba? What did she do when she was here? You now
understand that Amba and Lakshmi are the highest on high.
Amba then becomes Lakshmi. Only you children understand
this. You become knowledge-full and you are also taught
purity. That purity continues for half the cycle. The Father
then comes and shows you the path to purity. People call out
to Him at this time to come and show them the path and also
to become the Guide. He is the Supreme Soul. Souls become
supreme by studying with the Supreme. Someone who is pure is
called supreme. You are now impure. The Father is ever pure.
There is a difference. Only when the One who is ever pure
comes here does He give you your inheritance and teach you.
He enters this one and He Himself tells you that I
definitely need a chariot. How else would the Soul speak?
The chariot is also well known. “The Lucky Chariot” is
remembered. So, “The Lucky Chariot” is a human being. It is
not a question of a horse chariot. A human chariot is needed
so that He can sit and explain to human beings. They have
then shown a horse chariot. A human being is called “The
Lucky Chariot”. Here, some animals are looked after so well;
even human beings are not cared for as much. People love
their dogs so much! They even love horses and cows. They
have dog exhibitions. None of that would exist there. Would
Lakshmi and Narayan look after dogs? You children now know
that all human beings at this time have tamopradhan
intellects and that they have to be made satopradhan. There,
horses etc. are not such that people would have to serve
them. The Father explains: Look what your condition has
become! Ravan has made your condition like that. He is your
enemy. However, you don't know when this enemy takes birth.
You don't know about the birth of Shiva or even about the
birth of Ravan. The Father tells you that Ravan comes at the
end of the silver age and the beginning of the copper age.
Why has he been shown with ten heads? Why do people bum his
effigy every year? No one knows that. You are now studying
to change from human beings into deities. Those who don't
study cannot become deities. They will then come when the
kingdom of Ravan begins. You now know that you belonged to
the deity religion and that that sapling is now being
planted. The Father says: I come every 5000 years and teach
you in this way. At this time, the tree of the whole world
has become old. When it was new, there was just the one
deity religion and then they gradually came down. The Father
is telling you the account of 84 births because He is
knowledge-full. Achcha.
To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children,
love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the
Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the
spiritual children.
Essence for Dharna:
1. Accumulate the power of silence. With the power of
silence, you have to go to the world of silence. Free
yourself from slavery by taking power through having
remembrance of the Father and become a master.
2. By studying with the Supreme, the soul has to become
supreme. Only follow the path of purity, become pure and
make others pure. Become a guide.
Blessing:
May you remain stable in your powerful stage and serve
through your mind as a number one server.

Even if you don’t receive a chance to serve through words,
there is a chance to serve with your mind at every moment.
The most powerful and greatest service of all is service
through the mind. Serving through words is easy, but, in
order to serve with your mind, you first of all have to make
yourself powerful. You can serve with words even when your
stage fluctuates, but you cannot serve with your mind in
that way. Those who serve with their elevated stage are
number one servers and claim full marks.
Slogan:
To experience spirituality while carrying out a mundane task
is to surrender.

Om Shanti
