The way to defeat Maya is to use your power of churning.

Today, BapDada was looking at the various ways in which you children make effort. He was seeing your zeal, enthusiasm and love for a meeting. He was seeing your devotion in constant cooperation in any task, and the effort you make to break away from everyone else and forge all relationships with One alone. On seeing all of this effort, BapDada was pleased with you children, but as well as feeling love for your children, He also felt mercy for you. All of you are very busy in making effort to attain your aim according to your capacity. You all have the same desire of going fast and coming first. Day and night, you do everything with just this one concern. However, although you all have the same aim, and you all have love for One and keep the companionship of One, some of you are mahavirs whereas others have to work very hard for everything. Some are easy effortmakers whereas others are effortmaking yogis. Some are an embodiment of all attainments whereas others remain very busy in trying to attain everything. Some are conquerors of Maya whereas others are still busy in trying to overcome the obstacles of Maya. The sound coming from the minds of some is that they have attained everything, whereas the sound coming from the minds of others is that they are still trying to attain whatever it is they need. Some experience Baba’s constant company whereas others are still trying to make Baba their constant Companion. On seeing all of this, BapDada felt mercy for those of you who are labouring. Why should the One Father have two types of you children? For how much longer are you going to labour? You have received this blessed, spiritual birth from Baba, the Bestower of Blessings. If, instead of constantly enjoying this birth, you are still spending it in labouring, then when do you think you are going to receive such a birth again? Every second of this blessed birth is a beautiful moment for you to attain all attainments. So, instead of using such moments, do you still like to remain busy labouring? Or is it that you don’t want to do this, but it just happens? Today, BapDada saw the special reason why this happens. Even though you don’t want this to happen, the main reason why it does is that you become influenced. What influences you? You know this very well. Although you know this and even try to stop yourself from doing it, you still get caught up by it. This is because Maya comes in the form of janijananhar (one who knows all secrets). She knows that the main support of all of you Brahmin souls is the yoga of your intellect. She knows that it is only when your intellect is divine that you can enjoy having a meeting with the Father. So, first of all, she attacks your intellect and makes it weak. How does she do this? The special arrow of Maya is that of waste thoughts. She uses this arrow to make your intellect weak. Then, because it is weak, it is easily influenced. When you are weak, you are unable to do what you want. So, even though you want to do something, you are unable to do it. The reason for this is that you don’t use the power that you have received from the Almighty Authority. The special power is the power of churning. You don’t know how to use the power to churn. The power to churn is nourishment to keep your intellect divine. When you don’t have proper nourishment, you become weak. Then, because you are weak, you become influenced. The result of the power to churn is vast, but you don’t know the right method. From the moment you received your Brahmin birth from Baba, you also received very many titles. If these were to be listed, they would make a very big rosary. You had the practice of remembering these even on the path of bhakti. Bhagats remember these whilst turning each bead. On the path of bhakti, you had the power to remember and on the path of gyan, you have the power of awareness. Since bhagat souls don’t forget their power, and are able to attain temporary success through temporary methods, why do you knowledgeable souls forget the way to use your power of awareness? If you were to become aware of even one of your titles at amrit vela, and to continue to churn it, then by using this power of churning, your intellect would remain constantly powerful. Maya cannot attack a powerful intellect, so your intellect would not become influenced. That is the main reason why your intellect becomes weak. Therefore, the way to cure it is to increase your power of churning.

Nowadays, eminent and educated people change their dress according to the duty they have to carry out and the place they are in. People even change the costume of your nonliving idols. Even in your future deity form, you will have a different dress for a different task. This sanskar of your future is based on your present. The fashion of the present time will continue in the future golden age; it will also continue in your nonliving idols. What is the custom and system of the confluence age? It is to remember your title according to the task you are carrying out. Brahmins of the confluence age are the most fashionable. They dress according to the time; your form is your appearance. As is your awareness, so is your attitude and thus your vision and stage. It becomes your form. The fashion nowadays is for your jewellery to match your dress; for the colour of your tilak and eye makeup to match it also. So, you Brahmins are the most fashionable. Therefore, now create such an awareness, attitude and vision. Your awareness is your tilak, your vision is your eyemakeup and your attitude is your general makeup. Your attitude should be able to bring about whatever type of transformation you want. So, you are the constantly decorated spiritual images who are transforming the world.

To have the power to churn means to remain aware of your titles; all of your forms; to remain aware of the decorations of all your virtues; to remain aware of all the points of happiness; to remain aware of all the points of spiritual intoxication; for your intellect to remain aware of the points of the Father, the Creator; for your intellect to remember the detailed knowledge about creation. Keep all the many points that you have experienced and attained through remembrance in your consciousness. Therefore, the method of increasing the power to churn is so vast! You can churn whatever you want; you can choose whatever you like. Then, whilst churning, you will easily be able to remain in the stage of being totally absorbed in Baba’s love. Then, instead of being influenced, you will always have with you the mantra that disciplines your mind and thus defeat Maya. Maya will surrender to you for all time. Your first devotee of the confluence age will be Maya. Only when you become a master god will she become your devotee. If your yourself are just a devotee, then whose devotee could Maya become? So, will you become a devotee or a master God? You have been told that the easy method to attain this is to increase your power to churn. Do you understand?

Do those from the zones of Bengal and Bihar know how to decorate themselves? Just as you people know how to decorate the goddesses a lot, and you also know how to dress your non living idols, do you know how to decorate yourselves in the same way? This zone has this speciality which the Father loves very much. There are many such children. Who are they? They are the poor and innocent children of the Lord of Innocence; both types of children are very much loved by the Father. This is why the group from this zone is very large. This zone has this speciality. There are so many different states within this zone. Nepal and Assam are also included in this. This is a bouquet of many varieties of flowers. Service is growing. You found the corporeal one there. So, that place is special, isn’t it? When the Government finds something special in a particular place, it makes that place important, and then that place becomes very famous. It becomes part of history. Similarly, your place is also a special place in the history of the father. Later on, the importance of that place will be important to the whole world. Just as Delhi has its own speciality and Bombay has its own, so too, that place will also have a huge importance of its own. This is why, as you progress, that place will be known as an even more special place than it is known as today. You souls who live at that special place are also special. Together with that place, everyone will also speak of the fortune of all of you souls. Achcha.

To those who are constantly stable in their powerful form and make Maya their devotee; to those who are constantly decorated; to those who control Maya with the mantra that disciplines the mind; to those who remain powerful by having constant awareness; to the almighty souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting groups:

By making your every thought and deed equal to the Father’s, you will attain the stage of a constant and easy yogi. The most elevated place of the confluence age is the Father’s heartthrone. Those who sit on this throne claim a right to the throne of the world. Just as the Father is everworthy of being worshipped, so you children will also become worthy of being worshipped, because only those who are equal to Baba would be merged in His heart. So, you souls are equal to the Father and are following Him, are you not? Do you experience the Father’s consciousness to be your consciousness, the Father’s virtues to be your virtues, and the Father’s task to be your task? This is known as following the Father. Whatever thought you create or deed you perform, first of all check whether it is equal to the Father’s. When it is equal to the Father’s, you will experience the stage of an easy yogi; you won’t find it hard work. When you are in any difficult situation, bring the Father in front of you and you will be able to transform that situation on the basis of becoming stable in your original stage. No matter how delicate the situation of your country may be, when you stay under the canopy of Baba’s protection you will always remain as lovely and detached as a lotus. Do you constantly remain under the canopy of protection? When Baba comes as the Server, He constantly serves you children with the canopy of His protection. As soon as you remember Baba, you will experience His companionship. It takes time to find the companionship of a bodily being, but Baba becomes present within a second. Even though you are living far away, do you experience yourself to be a very close soul? The more you love someone, the closer that one will be to you. So, how close are you? You are close now and also close in all three places. Wherever Brahmin souls place their feet, there will be other souls (who are to become Brahmins) there, which is why you have to go there. Baba constantly responds to the children who stay in remembrance and will continue to respond, because it is through remembrance that you claim a right to all experiences.To give a lecture is not the only way to serve. You can also impress others with your experience. Speaking on a topic from your experience attracts others the most. You definitely do have to serve, and so serve in whatever way you can. You have to claim marks in all subjects. If you fail in even one subject, how would you be able to pass with honours? Therefore, now cover all subjects.

Throughout the whole cycle, the confluence age is the only spring time.

Do you consider yourselves to be constantly blooming, fragrant spiritual roses of eternal Spring? When Spring comes, all the flowers are filled with colour. They bloom and look very beautiful. So too, the confluence age is the season of Spring of the whole cycle, in which every soul, every flower, comes into bloom. Do you experience yourself to be a constantly blooming spiritual rose, that is, a soul who is constantly in spiritual remembrance? Or, instead of becoming a flower, do you just remain a bud? A small bud is at first closed, and when it opens up, it becomes a flower. Are you constantly in bloom or do you sometimes bloom and sometimes remain a bud? A flower in constant bloom is one who attracts others even from a distance. Do you have such spirituality? Anyone who comes into contact with you should be attracted by your spiritual fragrance. You would only present to others a flower in bloom. So too, only flowers in bloom would surrender themselves to BapDada. True devotees would never offer wilted flowers to their deities; they would offer the best flowers in bloom to the deities. So, are you such spiritual roses in bloom that you can be offered to the Father? Always remember whose flower garden you are a flower of. Baba directly waters you flowers with love and so you are so lucky!

What does BapDada constantly think on seeing each of you children? That each of you children should become a master of the world; not just a master of a state, but a master of the world. Who would become a master of the world? It would be those who are world benefactors. So, who are all of you? Are you going to rule the world or just a state? Those who are going to rule the world will constantly remain stable in an unlimited stage. Their relationships, sanskars and nature will all be unlimited, not limited. Do you give more time to your limited household or to the unlimited? What would happen if you want to become a master of the unlimited world but give more of your time to the limited world? Those who are going to become the masters of the unlimited would definitely engage themselves in unlimited service. They would do their limited service for the sake of it, but their full attention would be on unlimited service. Serve by going into the unlimited. Bring about a new way of service. Put into practice the plans you have had in your heart for a long time. This year, open as many centres as you have been planning to do! Hands are also automatically emerging. Prepare hands locally. Achcha.

Blessing: May you be a world benefactor who supports everyone instead of stepping away from anyone.You are the elevated souls who come into connection and relationship with Brahma Baba and the divine family throughout the cycle. You are not those who step aside from anyone, but are worldbenefactor souls who support the world. You must not move away from the bond of imperishable love of the family. Therefore, no matter what the situation is, you must never think of moving away from any place, any service or any service companion in order to improve your stage. If you do form this habit, then no matter where you go, you will never be able to remain there.

Slogan: Instead of speaking of the suffering of karma, speak of your stage of karma yoga.
