Om Shanti Avyakt BapDada Madhuban 25/01/79
“To give regard is to receive regard.”
Today, the Father, the Bestower of Fortune, was especially
examining the record from the beginning until now of all His
fortunate children. What record was He examining? He was
examining your record of giving regard. Giving regard is the
special way to take your Brahmin life into the stage of
ascent. Those who give regard are the special souls of the
present time and they also become worthy of receiving regard
from all souls for birth after birth. From the moment that
BapDada played His part in the corporeal world, He gave
regard to the children He always considered the children to
be more elevated than Himself and surrendered Himself to
them. “Children first and then the Father.” Children become
the crown of the head; children become worthy of worship in
two ways, and it is the children who become the instruments
to reveal the Father. From the beginning, the Father gave
regard to everyone. In the same way, children who have been
following the father have kept a very good record of giving
regard to everyone from the beginning. Each of you should
check yourself to see what your record is like.
Firstly, examine your record to see how much regard you have
for the Father. Secondly, how much regard you have for the
knowledge you have received from the Father. Thirdly, how
much regard you have for yourself. Fourthly, how much regard
the soul has for all souls, whether they belong to the
Brahmin family or are just souls who come into contact with
you. Check yourself as to what your record is like in all
these four subjects. How many marks did you receive in all
four subjects? Did you have full marks in all four subjects
or were your marks good in some subjects and less in others,
according to your capacity?
Firstly, to have regard for the Father means to know and
recognize Him accurately as He is and to fulfil the code of
conduct in all your relationships with that accurate
recognition. To have regard for the relationship of the
Father is to follow the Father. To have regard for the
relationship of the Teacher is to be regular and punctual in
your study and to pay full attention to all the subjects you
are studying. To have regard for the relationship of the
Satguru means to follow His instruction to forget your body
and all your bodily relations. It means to become soul
conscious and to stabilize yourself in the incorporeal
stage, the same as the Satguru. It means to remain
constantly ever ready to return home. To have regard for the
relationship of the Bridegroom means to remain lost in love
for that One in every thought at every second and to fulfil
your faithfulness in everything you do: “I eat with You, I
do everything with You.” To have regard for the relationship
of the Friend is constantly to experience His companionship
in whatever you do. Similarly, to fulfil all relationships
is to have regard for your relationship with Him. To have
regard is to follow the saying: “Mine is the one Father and
none other.” The Father says something and the children put
it into practice; they step constantly in the Father’s
steps. The dictates of your own mind and the dictates of
others should be removed from your intellect to such an
extent that it seems as though they never existed. The
dictates of your own mind and the dictates of others
shouldn’t touch your thoughts even in your dreams; you
should be totally ignorant of them. Only the shrimat of the
One should be in your intellect. Only listen to the one
Father, only speak of the things that the one Father has
told you, only see the one Father, only walk with the
Father, only think of the things that the Father has told
you and only perform the elevated deeds that the Father has
told you to perform. This is called maintaining your record
of having regard for the Father. Check in this way as to
whether your record in the first subject is first class or
second class. Is it constant or does it sometimes break? Is
your record of having regard unshakeable or does it go into
upheaval according to the circumstances of Maya? Is your
line straight or does it sometimes become crooked?
Secondly, to have regard for this knowledge means to have
unshakeable faith in all the elevated versions that have
been spoken from the beginning to the present time. To have
questions such as: “How would that be possible? When will it
happen? It should happen, but... It is the truth, but...”
means to have subtle doubts in your thoughts which also
means to have disregard for this knowledge.
The versions spoken by the souls of today who are great
souls in name only, those who show temporary miracles, those
who deprive you of meeting the Father, who divert you from
the truth - for such souls too, it is said that whatever
they speak are the versions of truth. So, to raise questions
or to doubt any of the knowledge given by the Satguru, who
is the Supreme Father, the Creator of all the great souls,
is also a royal form of doubt or disregard. It is one thing
to ask questions for clarification, but another thing to ask
questions based on subtle doubts. This is known as having
disregard. “The Father says this, but it’s impossible or
difficult for this to happen”. In which account would you
place such a thought? You have to check this too. Thirdly,
to have regard for the self is to experience stability in
the stage of whatever titles you have received from the
Father in this alokik elevated spiritual life, in this
Brahmin life. It is also the praise of your form and stage
based on your virtues and tasks, such as being a spinner of
the discus of self-realization, an embodiment of knowledge,
an embodiment of love and of having an angelic stage.
Experience yourself according to the titles that the Father
has given you on the basis of knowledge and stabilize
yourself in that stage. You have to conduct yourself knowing
who you are. “What I am means I am an elevated soul. I am a
direct child of the Father. I have a right to His unlimited
property. I am a master almighty authority.” To continue to
interact with others, knowing yourself as you are, is known
as having regard for yourself. “I am weak! I have no
courage! The Father says this, but I cannot become this. My
part in the drama is to come later. I’ll be happy with
whatever I receive.” To feel hopeless in this way is to have
disregard for yourself. You also have to check your record
of the regard you have for yourself.
Fourthly, to have regard for souls who come into
relationship or contact with you means to have elevated
feelings for all souls, whether they are Brahmin souls or
souls who don’t have this knowledge. You should have the
elevated feeling of wanting to uplift them, to make them
move forward and to benefit everyone in the world. To
interact with all souls by adopting this virtue means to
have regard for everyone. Constantly look at the virtues and
specialties of all souls. Look at them, but don’t see their
defects. Or, even higher than that, with your positive
attitude and your stage of having positive thoughts for all,
to transform the defects of many others is known as the soul
having regard for souls. To co-operate with all souls with
the power of your awareness is to have regard. Constantly to
have the regard of “You first” in your thoughts and deeds
and to consider the weaknesses or defects of others to be
your own and, instead of telling others about them and
spreading them around, to accommodate them and transform
them is to have regard. You should reduce someone’s big
weakness; reduce it from a mountain into a mustard seed
instead of making a mountain out of a mustard seed: this is
known as having regard. To make hopeless souls powerful -
not to be coloured by their company but constantly to give
them zeal and enthusiasm is known as having regard. Check
how many marks you have claimed in this fourth subject. Do
you understand how you have to give regards Those whose
regard for everyone and all four subjects is good become
worthy of receiving regard from all the souls of the world.
That is, at present, they will be known as world benefactors
and in the future, they will be the world emperors and in
the middle period they will be the elevated and worthy of
worship souls. In order to become a world emperor, you have
to create such a record.
To give regard to others is to receive regard. Giving
becomes a form of receiving. You give one and you receive
ten-fold. So this is easy, is it not?
Those from Karnataka are always embodiments of love for the
Father. The land of Karnataka is very easy. The land is very
fruitful because of their devotional feelings, and this is
why service has grown so well. According to the drama, the
land of Karnataka has received the blessing of receiving
Baba’s message very easily. Special souls can easily emerge
from this land. However, what do you have to do in the
future? Whatever growth of service takes place, you have to
interact with everyone according to your disciplines.
Constantly be a mahavir in sustaining them with all powers.
You have to bring about the specialty of maintaining a
balance between love and power. In fact, you innocent
children of the Innocent Lord, the Father, are very good.
You are good moths. BapDada likes all of you. Now, together
with being liked by the Father, you also have to be liked by
the people you serve. Achcha.
To those who constantly follow the Father, to the obedient,
faithful souls who fulfil every order, to the constantly
great donors, the bestowers of blessings, to the
world-benefactor souls who enable all souls to move forward
by giving them regard, to the souls who constantly have
positive thoughts for the self, BapDada’s love, remembrance
and namaste.
BapDada’s elevated versions spoken to souls personally.
1. Do you consider yourself to be a holy swan? A holy swan
is one who lets go of anything wasteful and constantly picks
up that which is powerful. Those swans separate milk from
water but a holy swan separates anything wasteful from what
is powerful, lets go of the wasteful and picks up the
powerful. Just as a swan would never pick up stones but
would always pick up pearls, so too, holy swans constantly
adopt the Father’s virtues; they do not adopt the stones of
the weaknesses of others. Such souls are known as holy
swans; they are pure and clean souls. The way of interacting
and the diet of pure souls would be according to how pure
they are. Holy swans have a pure diet and they are pure in
their interaction with others. All impurity finishes because
you are going to the pure world where there is no name or
trace of impurity or anything unclean. Because you become
holy swans at this time, you are called “His Holiness’’’ in
the future. You don’t imbibe the weaknesses of others, even
by mistake, and always have a garland of virtues around your
neck. A garland is shown around the neck of the Shaktis and
even the deities. This garland is shown as a memorial of
those who adopted the rosary of virtues at the confluence
age. Whilst imbibing the Father’s virtues, you also look at
the virtues of everyone else. Do all of you have the garland
of virtues around your neck? Only those who wear the garland
of virtues can become part of the garland of victory. So,
check whether your garland is large or small. Those who have
the virtues of the Father and others inculcated into them
are those who wear a large garland. By turning the beads of
the garland of virtues, you also become an embodiment of
virtues. Just as the Father is the embodiment of all
virtues, so too, you children are also embodiments of all
virtues.
2. Do you constantly consider yourself to be a lotus,
detached whilst living and doing everything at home, and
loving towards the Father? The extent of the love you have
is indicated by the extent to which you are detached. To
what extent do you love the Father? What is the sign of that
love? You would automatically remember the One you love. You
don’t have to make effort to remember the One you love. If
you experience this, you can understand that you love the
Father. The indication of love is automatic remembrance. If
you have to labour for remembrance, then there isn’t that
much love! Wherever you go, you should be celebrating the
child, yourself, meeting the Father. When two are combined,
they can’t be separated from one another. So, too,
experience yourself being combined with Him. If you
constantly see the Father wherever you go, that is known as
being a constant yogi. It should not be difficult to
remember the Father, but difficult to forget Him. Just as it
was difficult for you to remember Him for half the cycle, so
it should be difficult for you to forget Him at the
confluence age. No matter how much someone tries to make you
forget Baba, you should never forget Him. Be as firm and
strong as Angad, so that Maya cannot shake even the tip
(nail in the form of thoughts) of your thoughts. Only such
souls are extremely loved by the Father.
3. To experience any type of obstacle or tension in service
means to lack a balance between the self and service. When
you don’t pay enough attention to yourself, it creates
tension or obstacles in service in one form or another.
Together with making plans for service, you first have to
make plans for yourself. Continue to serve whilst staying
within the line of the code of conduct. If you serve having
come stepped outside the line of the code of conduct, you
will not succeed. First of all, create a committee of those
who pay attention to dharna. Make plans for this amongst
yourselves and then service will easily expand.
4. Do you constantly consider yourself to be a moth who has
surrendered to the Flame? Moths are not able to see anything
but the Flame. Moths sacrifice themselves and merge into the
Flame. So, too, forget the consciousness of your body and
become equal to the Father. This is known as becoming equal
and merging. The whole cycle has gone by. Now, the blessing
of the confluence age is that you can become whatever you
want. Only at this time does the Bestower of Fortune draw
your line of fortune. So, create whatever fortune you want.
Achcha.
Blessing:
May you become a bestower of fortune for the world who
receives love from everyone through your renunciation of
name and respect. 
Just as the Father is said to be beyond name and form, and
yet the name that is praised the most is the Father’s,
similarly, you too have to become detached from having
temporary name and respect and you will then automatically
be loved by all for all time. Those who renounce being
beggars for name and respect become bestowers of fortune for
the world. The fruit of your karma will automatically come
in front of you in its complete form. Therefore, be ignorant
of the desire of anything temporary. Do not eat raw fruit:
renounce that and fortune will follow you.
Slogan:
You are a child of God, the Father, and so the feet of your
intellect should always be on the throne. 
Special homework to experience the avyakt stage in this
avyakt month
No matter how much waste someone speaks in front of you,
just transform that waste and make it powerful. Do not take
any waste into your intellect. If you accept even one
wasteful word, then that one wasteful word will give birth
to many wasteful words. Pay full attention to your words.
“Speak less, speak softly and speak sweetly” and you will
easily make your stage avyakt.
Om Shanti
