31-12-86 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban
The method to make your past, present and future elevated.
Today, the greatgreatgrandfather (Brahma) and God, the Father (Shiva) are giving greetings of blessings from their heart to their sweet and extremely lovely children. BapDada knows how elevated each and every longlost and nowfound child is and how each one is a great soul. Every child's greatness and purity continue to reach the Father numberwise. Today, all of you have especially come to celebrate the New Year with zeal and enthusiasm. In order to celebrate, people of the world ignite an extinguished lamp or a candle. They celebrate by igniting it, whereas BapDada is celebrating the New Year with the countless lamps who have been ignited. He does not light those who have become extinguished, and, having ignited them, he doesn't blow them out. No one except the Father and you children can celebrate the New Year in this way in a gathering of hundreds of thousands of such ignited spiritual lights. This is such a beautiful scene of the spiritual gathering of the sparkling lamps. Each one's spiritual lamp is sparkling constantly and steadily. "One Baba" in each one's mind is enabling all the spiritual lamps to sparkle. You have the one world, you have the one thought and you have a constant and stable stage this is what it means to celebrate. This is what it means to become that and make others that. At this time, it is the confluence of both farewell (vidaai) and greetings (badhaai). It is farewell to the old and greetings to the new. All of you have reached here at this confluence. Therefore, congratulations for bidding farewell to your old thoughts and sanskars and also congratulations for flying with new zeal and enthusiasm.
The moment that is the present will become the past after a little time. The year that you are now passing through will become the past after midnight. The moment now (today) is called the present, and tomorrow is the future. The play of the past, present and future continues to take place. Use all these three words in this New Year in a new way. How? Let the past become the past by always passing with honours. Of course, it will be "past is past", but how are you going to pass through it? You say that the time passed by, that this scene passed by. However, did you pass through that whilst passing with honours? You made the past become the past, but did you pass through the past in such an elevated way that, as soon as you remember the past, the words "Wah, wah!" emerge from your heart? Did you make the past become the past in such a way that others can learn a lesson from your story of the past? Your past should become the form of a memorial, it should become a devotional song (kirtan), that is, it should be worth singing praise of, just as people on the path of devotion, continue to sing devotional songs of your actions. Through the songs of praise of your actions, the livelihood of many souls is even now being made. In this New Year, let every thought and every moment become the past with this method. Do you understand what you have to do?
Now, come into the present. Make the present so practical that everyone receives one present (gift) or another from you special souls at every present moment and thought. When do people experience the most happiness? When they receive a present. No matter how peaceless, sorrowful or distressed they may be, when they are given a present with love, there is a wave of happiness at that moment. Not a superficial present, but a present given from the heart. Everyone always considers a present to be a symbol of love. The value of anything given as a present is in the love with which it is given, not in the thing itself. Therefore, continue to make progress with the method of giving presents. Do you understand? Is this easy or difficult? Your treasurestore is full, is it not? Or, is it that by giving presents, your treasurestore will be reduced? You have accumulated some stock, have you not? Simply give the present of one second's drishti with love, cooperation with love, feelings of love, sweet words and elevated thoughts from your heart. These presents are enough. Nowadays, you Brahmins, your devotees, those who are in connection and relationship with you, and distressed souls, all have need of these presents, not of any other presents. You have a stock of these, do you not? So, become a bestower and enable every present moment to change into the past, and then all types of souls will continue to sing songs of your praise from their heart. Achcha.
What will you do in the future? Everyone asks you: Ultimately, what is the future? Reveal the future through your features. Your features should create the future. What will the future be like? What will eyes be like in the future? What will smiles be like in the future? What will relationships be like in the future? What will life be like in the future? Your features should grant a vision of all of these things. Your drishti should clearly reveal the world of the future. The question "What will happen?" should end and, instead, be changed into '"It will be like this". Let the word "how?" change into "like this". In the future there are deities. The sanskars of a deity means the sanskars of a bestower. The sanskars of a bestower means the sanskars of being one with a crown and seated on a throne. Whoever sees you should experience your crown and throne. Which crown? The crown of light that enables you to remain constantly light. The signs of spiritual intoxication and a carefree stage should always be experienced from your actions and words. The sign of being seated on a throne is to be carefree and to have intoxication. The intoxication of having victory guaranteed and a carefree stage this is the sign of a soul who is seated on the Father's heartthrone. Whoever comes should experience your stage of being seated on the heartthrone and wearing a crown. This is what it means to reveal the future through your features. Celebrate the New Year in this way, that is, become this and make others the same too. Do you understand what you have to do in the New Year? In 3 words become master Trimurti, master trikaldarshi and trilokinath. Everyone is now wondering: What are we going to do now? Through your every step, whether it is through remembrance or service, continue to attain success through all three methods.
You have a lot of zeal and enthusiasm for the New Year, do you not? Double foreigners have double enthusiasm. How many methods will you use to celebrate the New Year? Those people use perishable methods and have entertainment for a short time. One moment they will light a candle and the next moment they will blow it out. However, BapDada is celebrating in an imperishable way with you children who attain imperishable success. What will all of you also do? Cut a cake, light candles, sing songs and clap. Do this a lot too. You may do that.
However, BapDada always gives the imperishable children imperishable congratulations and shows you a method to make you imperishable. Seeing you celebrate in the corporeal world with physical festivity, BapDada is also pleased because it is only once in the whole cycle that you find such a beautiful family where the whole family a gathering of hundreds of thousands - is wearing a crown and seated on the throne. Therefore, dance, sing and eat toli as much as you want. The Father is pleased just to see the children and to take the fragrance of it all. What is the song that is playing in each one's mind? Songs of happiness are playing. Always sing songs of "Wah, wah! Wah Baba! Wah my fortune! Wah, my sweet family! Wah, the beautiful time of the elevated confluence age.” Every action is "Wah, wah!" Continue to sing songs of “Wah, wah!” Today, BapDada was smiling because some children, instead of singing songs of “Wah, wah”, were singing other songs. They were songs of just two words. Do you know what they were? This year, do not sing songs of those two words. Those two words are "Why?" and "I". Generally, whenever BapDada sees the TV of the children, instead of saying, "Wah, wah", children are saying, "Why? why?" So, instead of "Why?" say, "Wah, wah" and, instead of "I", say, "Baba, Baba". Do you understand?
Whoever you are, whatever you are like, BapDada loves you and this is why all of you come running to meet Baba with love. At amrit vela, all the children always sing the song, "Lovely Baba, sweet Baba". And, in return, BapDada sings the song, "Lovely children, lovely children". Achcha. In fact, this year is the year to learn the lesson of becoming detached and loving. Nevertheless, the children's loving invocation of the Father brings Him from the nyari (detached, unique) world into the pyari (loving) world. There is no need to consider all of these things in the subtle form. Meeting in the subtle form, Baba gives all the unlimited children the feeling of an unlimited meeting at the one time. With a physical method, one still has to come into limitations. What do the children want after all? Murli and drishti. Even when Baba is speaking the murli, that too, is a meeting. Whether Baba speaks to individuals or to everyone together, Baba is going to say the same thing. Whatever Baba says to the gathering, He will say the same to individuals. Nevertheless, you double foreigners have been given the first chance. The children of Bharat are waiting for the 18th of January whereas you have taken the first chance. Achcha. Children have come from 35 or 36 countries. This is also the 36 varieties of bhog. There is a memorial of the number 36. So, there are at least 36 varieties.
BapDada is pleased to see the zeal and enthusiasm that you children have for service. All of you used your body, mind, wealth and time for service with love and courage. Therefore, BapDada is giving you multimillionfold congratulations for that. Whether you are physically in front of Baba or whether you are present in the subtle form, BapDada is giving all the children congratulations for being absorbed in service with so much love. You became cooperative and made others cooperative. Therefore, double congratulations for being cooperative and making others cooperative. The garland of the children's news of service filled with zeal and enthusiasm and also their New Year cards filled with zeal and enthusiasm has been put around BapDada's neck. Whoever sent the cards, in return for those cards, BapDada gives both regard and love. Baba is pleased to hear all the news. Whether you served in an incognito way or in a visible way, there is always success in the service of revealing the Father. The result of serving with love, to become cooperative souls and to come close in the Father's task is a sign of success. Those who are cooperative are today cooperative, and will tomorrow become yogi. So, BapDada gives the blessing, "May you be an eternal embodiment of success," to those who have done the special service of making souls everywhere cooperative. Achcha.
When your subjects – those who are cooperative and in relationship – increase, then, according to that increase, the method also has to change, does it not? You are happy, are you not? Let them increase! Achcha.
To those who are always loving and cooperative and who make others cooperative, to those who always receive greetings, to those who make every second and every thought the most elevated of all and worthy of praise, to those who always become bestowers and give others love and cooperation, to such elevated, great, fortunate souls, BapDada's love and remembrance and good night and good morning at the confluence.
Blessing: May you be Mayaproof and give the visible proof of God's knowledge through your elevated life.
By considering yourself to be a practical example of the proof of God's knowledge, you will become Mayaproof. The practical proof is your pure and elevated life. The most impossible task that has become possible is for you to have an attitude of remaining beyond whilst living at home with your family, to remain beyond the body and the relations of the bodily world, to see but not to see the things of the old world through the eyes of the old body. This means that the easy method to reveal God and to become Mayaproof is to lead a life of complete purity.
Slogan: If the guards of attention are working well, you cannot lose your treasure of supersensuous joy.
