The Festival of Holi
is a memorial of becoming pure and making others pure
The holiest Father
has come to celebrate the Holi day with the holy swans. The whole of the
confluence age is called the holi day. Sangam (the confluence) is itself the
Holi day. The holiest Father has come to celebrate the Holi day with the holy
children. The Holi that the world celebrates lasts for one or two days, whereas
you holy swans celebrate Holi throughout the confluence age. They throw colours,
but you are influenced by the colour of the Father's company, becoming like the
Father, that is, you become holy for all time. By going from the limited into
the unlimited, you become holy for all time, that is, you become pure. This
festival of Holi, that is, of becoming pure, is a reminder to have enthusiasm
for celebrating the festival of becoming pure. The essence of all these memorial
customs, which are celebrated in those traditions, is of becoming pure. When
they celebrate Holi, in order to become holy, first of all impurity and all that
is bad has to be burnt. It has to be destroyed by fire: you cannot be coloured
with the colour of purity until impurity is completely finished. With the vision
of purity, the festival of colouring one another cannot be celebrated. It is the
memorial of the festival of forgetting all feelings of differences and of
remembering that we are of one family, that we are all the same; to have the
attitude of equality, that is, of being brothers. The lokik (worldly) form too
is that they celebrate together, young, old, men and women, to experience this
feeling of equality. In fact, the awareness of the form of brotherhood, of being
equal, gives the experience of the imperishable colour. When you become stable
in this form of equality you then experience the sparkle of imperishable
happiness and your enthusiasm stays for all time to colour all souls with this
imperishable colour. They spray colour with a spray gun. What is your spray gun?
Your divine intellect is filled with this imperishable colour. You have
experiences with the colour of the company, and so your spray guns are filled
with the different colours of the experiences, are they not? Through the spray
gun of your full intellect, through your drishti, through your attitude and
through your lips, you are able to influence any soul with the colour of this
company so that they become holyfor all time. Those people celebrate Holi
whereas you make everyone holy. You make every day into a holi day. They have a
celebration to create a mood of happiness for only a limited period of time
whereas you have a celebration for all time by being holy and by maintaining a
happy mood all the time. You don't have to create that mood, for it remains
forever. If your mood is always holy, then no form of any other mood can ever
come. To have a holy mood means to be one who is constantly light, one who is
automatically carefree, constantly full of all treasures and one who has claimed
the right to unlimited self-sovereignty. You have had many different changing
moods: sometimes of happiness, sometimes of thinking too much, sometimes light
and sometimes heavy. So all of that mood changing finishes and you become one
who is in a constantly happy and holy mood. You celebrate such an eternal
festival with the Father. So, you first erase, then celebrate and then celebrate
a meeting. The memorial of this is that they burn bonfires, they throw colours
and then they have a happy meeting together. All of you are coloured by the
colour of the Father's company, by the colour of knowledge, by the colour of
happiness, you play Holi with so many different colours. When you are coloured
by each one of these colours, you then become equal to the Father. When all
those who are equal meet together, how do they meet? Physically, when they meet,
they hug each other, but how do you meet? When you become equal, you become
merged in that love and so the experience of merging is the meeting. When did
all of these traditions begin? Whilst your celebration is imperishable, they
just create a perishable memorial and are happy with that celebration. Just
think: your enthusiasm should be imperishable because you have become
experienced in having constant enthusiasm whereas they just simply celebrate the
memorial day for this, and they experience happiness just from that. The
memorial of your enthusiasm and happiness will still be able to give innumerable
souls the experience of happiness until the very end. You have now created a
life that is filled with enthusiasm, a life that is completely full of joy.
This is the wonderful confluence-aged part of the drama: that you celebrate your
imperishable enthusiasm and that you are also able to see your own images. On
the one hand, you are elevated living souls and, on the other hand, you are
seeing your own images. On the one hand, you have become embodiments of
remembrance, and on the other hand, you are seeing the memorial of your every
elevated act. You have become praise-worthy and are listening to the praise from
the previous cycle. This is a wonder! And with your awareness, see how that is
your praise. In fact, every soul always sees the memorial images of his own
elevated acts in a different name and form, but he doesn't know it. For
instance, Gandhiji who is in a different name and form must also be seeing his
film but without recognising it. You are able to see your images with
recognition; you understand that that is your image. You are celebrating the
memorial of the days of enthusiasm in the form of festivals. All knowledge is
contained in this, is it not? Are there the images of the double-foreigners in
the temples? Have you seen your own images in the Dilwara Temple or are there
only the images of the children of Bharat? Has each of you seen your own image?
Did you recognise that as being your image? Just as there is the example of one
Arjuna, in the same way the pictures, the images, are memorials of just a few,
but they are the memory of all of you. Don't think that just because there are
only a few pictures, they cannot be of you. Although only a sample has been
shown, they are the memorial of all of you. Those who stay in remembrance (yaad)
definitely have a memorial (yaadgar) created of themselves. Do you understand?
Is the big spray gun of all of you full, or is it just a small spray gun that
becomes empty when it is used just once, so that you then have to refill it
again and again? You do not need to make such effort. Colour everyone with the
imperishable colour. Celebrate Holi to make others holy. Has Holi already taken
place for you or are you still going to celebrate it now? For Holi to have taken
place, it means you will have become holy. You are coloured, are you not? This
colour won’t have to be washed off. They happily throw the physical colours but
then they also want to protect themselves from them. However, this colour of
yours is such that each one says, "Spray it even more!” No one will be afraid of
this, whereas they are afraid of the other colour - perhaps it may go into their
eyes - but here they would say, "Colour me as much as you can - the more, the
better!. So, celebrate Holi in this way. You have become holy and this Holi is
the memorial of becoming pure and making others pure.
Here, in Bharat, they have created many stories, because they are interested in
listening to stories. So they have created stories about every festival. Many
short stories have been made out of your own life stories. Some stories have
been made about Rakhi, some stories have been made about Holi, some stories have
been made about your life, your birth. There are some stories about your
kingdom, but all of these stories are your life stories. In the copper age it
wasn't necessary to give so much time to personal relationships, people were
free. According to your calculation, even the population was a lot smaller, the
wealth was rajopradhan and your stage was also rajopradhan. This is why, all
these methods of stories, religious stories and devotional songs were created
for you to keep yourselves busy. Some methods were needed! All of you are free,
so you do service or you sit in remembrance, but what could they do at that
time? They started to pray or tell stories and sing songs. Because their
intellects were free, they created many wonderful, beautiful stories. At least,
that was better, because they were saved from going into impurity too much.
Nowadays, there are such things that cause even a child of five years to indulge
in vice, but at that time there were at least some codes of conduct, but all of
these are your memorials. You have such intoxication and happiness, do you not,
that they are celebrating your memorial, that they are singing songs about you?
They sing songs with so much love. You have become the embodiments of love and
this is why they sings songs with such love. Do you understand what the memorial
of Holi is? Always be happy, always be light: this is celebrating. Achcha. Never
let your mood go off. Always have a holy mood, a light mood, a happy mood. All
of you are becoming very sensible. Take a photograph of the first day when you
came to Madhuban, and now, when you are ready to leave, take a photograph of
that too. Both photos should be taken. You understand simply from a signal, yet
you are still the decoration of BapDada's home. When you come, just see, the
sparkle of Madhuban becomes so beautiful. There is such beauty, as though there
are angels everywhere you look. BapDada knows that you are the decoration.
Achcha.
To all those who are coloured with the colour of knowledge, to those who
constantly stay coloured in the Father’s company, to those who become full like
the Father and who colour others with the imperishable colour, to those who
always celebrate a Holi day, to the souls who are holy swans, BapDada
congratulates such souls for remaining constantly happy and holy.
Congratulations for making yourselves constantly full, and for constantly
maintaining hope and enthusiasm. To all the children in all directions who
remain constantly lost in love and who constantly celebrate a happy meeting, to
such special children, love, remembrance and namaste.
Personal
meetings
1) Do you constantly experience yourself to have a right to the Father’s
inheritance? To have a right means to be a powerful soul, act with this
understanding. No type of weakness still remains, does it? Constantly continue
to make yourself move forward with the awareness, “As is the Father, so am I;
the Father is the Almighty Authority and so the children are master almighty
authorities. Always have this happiness, because for the rest of the cycle you
will not have the happiness that you have now. Now, you have attainment from the
Father whereas later, souls will have attainments from souls. The attainment
that you receive from the Father cannot be received from souls. Souls are not
all-knowing and so, any attainment from souls is temporary whereas from the
Father you receive imperishable attainment for all time. You have now received
imperishable happiness from the Father. You constantly continue dance in
happiness, do you not? Constantly continue to swing in the swing of happiness.
As soon as you come down, you become dirty because there is dirt on the ground.
If you are always on the swings, you are always clean and, without becoming
clean, you cannot have a meeting with the Father. Just as the Father is clean,
so the method to meet Him is to become clean. So, those who constantly stay on
the swings are those who are constantly clean. Since you have the swing, why do
you come down? Eat, drink, walk, do everything on the swing; it is such a big
swing. The days for coming down are over, now are the days to swing. So, you are
the elevated souls who constantly swing with the Father on the swings of
happiness, love, knowledge and bliss; always remember this. Always remember
this. Whenever any situation arises, remember this blessing and, on the basis of
this blessing, you will once again experience the company and the swinging. This
blessing is a means of constant safety. To remember the blessing means to
remember the Bestower of Blessings. There is no effort required when you have a
blessing. You easily have all attainments.
2) All of you are the elevated souls who constantly move along with one faith
and one support, are you not? Children whose intellects have faith, who have one
strength and one support, know that these sakar murlis are murlis in which you
receive shrimat from Madhuban, and that is the only shrimat. You cannot meet the
Father anywhere except in Madhuban. Let there always be faith in this study of
the one Father. The lesson of the study which goes from Madhuban is your study;
there is no other study. If, at the time of offering bhog, there is sometimes a
part of a messenger, that is completely wrong. That is also Maya. That would not
be said to be one strength and one support. Pay attention to the murli that
comes from Madhuban, otherwise, you will go onto other paths. Baba’s murli is
only conducted in Madhuban and Baba only comes in Madhuban. Therefore, let each
child be cautious about this. Otherwise, Maya will deceive you. (11-4-82)
Blessing:
May you be
seated on the trikaldarshi seat and achieve success with your power of
determination.
The power of
determination is an elevated power which easily transforms any power of
carelessness. BapDada’s blessing is: There is success where there is
determination. You simply have to be an embodiment of success in the right way
according to the time. Before you perform any act, think of its beginning,
middle and end and then perform that act or enable it to be performed, that is,
be seated on the trikaldarshi seat and carelessness will then finish. Let the
seed of thought be powerful and filled with determination and there will then
easily be success in your words and actions.
Slogan:
Those who
always remain content and make others content are jewels of contentment.
Notice:
Today is the third Sunday of the month and so let all become residents of the
subtle region with the vehicle of the divine intellect and do the service of
spreading the wave of co-operation of good wishes and pure feelings.
