Five special steps of Father Brahma.

Today, the Father who is loved by the whole world is seeing His specially, deeply loving and close children. All are loving, but those who are extremely loving and close are those who follow the father at every step. The incorporeal Father kept Brahma Baba, the corporeal instrument, in front of the corporeal children for them to be able to follow him in a practical way. He was the first soul in the drama who experienced 84 births from the beginning to the end; he became the medium in the corporeal form and became an example in front of the children to make it easy for them to follow, because when one sees a powerful example it is easy to follow. And so Baba kept Brahma Baba as a symbol of love for the loving children and He gave every child the elevated shrimat to follow the father at every step. Do all of you consider yourselves to be the close souls who follow the father? Do you find it easy or difficult to follow? What were the special steps of Father Brahma that you saw?

1. The first step: A total renunciate. Not only renunciation of the body and lokik relations, but the greatest renunciation, the first renunciation, was that of surrendering the mind and the intellect. That is, in every action there was only the awareness of the Father and shrimat in his mind and intellect at every moment. He constantly considered himself to be an instrument and was detached and loving in every action. In bodily relationships he renounced the consciousness of “I”. When the mind and body are surrendered to the Father bodily relationships are automatically renounced. The first step was that of a total renunciate.

2. The second step: Always remained obedient. At all times and in everything, whether in selfprogress or in giving sustenance to the yagya, he remained an instrument. Only Brahma is the special soul who has that unique part fixed in the drama: the same soul is the mother and also the father. While being an instrument for giving sustenance to the yagya, he always remained obedient. Although the task of establishment was a huge one, he didn't disobey any of the instructions. You easily saw his form of saying, “Yes, My Lord, I am present” in a practical way at all times.

3. The third step: Faithful in every thought. A wife who is faithful to her husband cannot remember anyone except her husband even in dreams. In the same way, you saw the practical form of his being faithful with the consciousness of “no one but the one Father” at all times. While being an instrument for the responsibility of new, unlimited establishment, through the power of being faithful, in the practical action of having one faith and one Support, he easily overcame all adverse situations and inspired others too.

4. The fourth step: A world server. The speciality in service was that, on the one hand, he was a very humble world servant, and, on the other hand, the authority of knowledge. To the extent that he was humble, he was accordingly a carefree emperor. The fearlessness of truth is the speciality of service. No matter how much his relatives, politicians and religious leaders opposed him because of this new knowledge, they were not able to make him fluctuate even slightly from his position of truth and fearlessness. This is known as the balance of being humble and having authority. All of you are seeing the result of that. Those who insulted him are now bowing down to him in their mind. The special basis of success in service is to be humble, to be an instrument and to be unlimited. He became the embodiment of success through this method.

5. The fifth step: Free from the bondage of karma, free from the relationships of karma, that is, free from the bondage of the body, an angel, karmateet. In one second, he conquered all attachments and became an embodiment of the remembrance of One, close and equal.

Today, Baba has told you briefly of the five steps. There is a lot of detail, but, in essence, those who place their steps over these five steps are known as the ones who follow the father. Now, ask yourself, in how many steps have you followed him? Have you just surrendered, or have you surrendered totally? To have surrendered totally means you are equal to the Father in your thoughts, nature and sanskars. If, even now, while moving along, you think or say, “My nature is like this, my nature is like that”, or if thoughts emerge or you say things against your conscious wish, that is not known as being a total renunciate. Although you call yourselves completely surrendered, there is still the consciousness of ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ when it comes to surrendering every trace. The Father’s nature (swabhav) means the nature of the self, that is, the nature of the soul. Sanskars should always be like those of the Father, that is, of love, of mercy and of having a generous heart, and this is called a big heart. To have a small heart means to see the limited consciousness of ‘mine’, whether for the self, for the service place or for the service companions, whereas to have a big heart means
everyone experiences you belonging to them. When someone has a big heart, he experiences an abundance of success in every task whether in body, mind, wealth or relations. Abundance means there is greater benefit, whereas someone with a small heart has to make greater effort and has less success. You were told previously also that those who have a small heart never have abundance in their treasurestore or kitchen. Their service companions will give many reassurances, “You do this and we will do this”, but they then start relating their circumstances at a time of need. This is known as having a big heart. So the Lord is always pleased with those who understand the significance of everything. All of you teachers have a big heart, do you not? You are the instruments for the unlimited, greatest of all tasks. You do not say that you are the ones who bring benefit to only a certain area or to only a certain country, do you? You are world benefactors, are you not? So, a big heart is needed for such a big task, is it not? Big means unlimited, or will the teachers say that they have been given limits? Why are these limits created? Because of a small heart. No matter how big an area you are given, you should always have unlimited feelings. Do not have any limits in your heart. The limits of a place should not influence your heart. If there is an influence of limits in your heart, the unlimited Father cannot stay within a limited heart. Baba is big, and so a big heart is needed. While staying in Madhuban, did Brahma ever have the thought that Madhuban was ‘mine’ and the rest, that is, Punjab, U.P., Karnataka, Tamil etc., were all the children’s? All of you have love for Father Brahma, do you not? To have love means to follow.

Are all of you teachers the ones who follow the father, or are you the ones who say: “This one is my centre, my student, or my income.”? And would the students also think, “This one is my teacher.”? To follow the father means to merge ‘mine’ in ‘Yours’ to merge the limited into the unlimited. There is now a need to place your footsteps in these steps. Everyone's thoughts, words and method of service should be experienced to be unlimited. You ask what you now have to do this year, do you not? For self transformation, finish all that is limited, including any traces of it. Whoever you see, and whoever sees you should experience your intoxication of being an unlimited emperor. Those with a limited heart cannot be unlimited emperors. Don't think that the more centres you have opened or the more your service is, the greater the king you will become. The prize of heaven is not based on that. There has to be service, there have to be centres but there must to be no trace of any limits. Such souls claim the throne of the kingdom of the world numberwise. Therefore, do not just please your heart now, for a short moment of time. Someone who is fragrant, equal to the Father and close now will also be close to Brahma Baba for 21 births. So, do you want such a prize, or do you want the prize of this time? “I have many students, many centres.” Do not get caught up in this ‘many’ now. Adopt a very generous heart. Did you hear what you have to do this year? During this year, not even in dreams should anyone’s limited sanskars emerge. Do you have this courage? Do not follow one another. Follow the father.

Secondly, BapDada drew your attention especially to speech. This year, pay special double attention to your words. This direction for words has been sent to everyone. You will receive a prize for this. Just keep your own chart with honesty and truthfulness. You are the children of the true Father, are you not? BapDada is giving the direction to everyone: Whenever you see that service is making your stage fluctuate, there cannot be success in that service. By all means, do less service but do not allow your stage to come down. How can any service that makes your stage come down be called service? This is why BapDada says to everyone again that, together with the stage of the self and service, that is, together with selfservice, let there constantly be service of others. If you stop selfservice and only do service of others, there will not be success. Have courage for selfservice and also service of others. The Almighty Authority Father is your Helper; therefore, keep the balance of both with courage and move forward. Do not become weak. You are a victorious soul who has been an instrument many times. For such victorious souls it is not difficult and doesn’t require labour. Then you will experience the attention and the practice to be easy and automatic. Do not have any tension in paying attention. Some change attention into tension. The original sanskars of Brahmin souls are of attention and practice. Achcha.

That leaves the matter of service for world benefit. Therefore, this year, every centre should give an invitation to those who have heard the message to come into connection. Each centre should hold snehmilans (small gatherings of love) according to its capacity. It doesn't matter whether you have separate ones for individual professions or whether you mix them, but pay special attention to those souls. Meet them personally. If you simply send them things by post, the result is less. Make groups of your own students that come, and invite a small number of people from that group personally to come close, and make them responsible. Then, all the students will remain busy and there will also be a selection of service. You speak of this, saying that you don’t follow it through. You need to relate new things so such souls too. Up until now, you have been collecting visions of a better world, and so now draw their attention to themselves. Arrange special topics such as selfprogress and the basis of selfprogress. Now, arrange this new topic. Organise this spiritual budget for selfprogress. When you organise a budget, you always create a saving scheme. So what is the account of spiritual saving? Instead of time, words, thoughts and energy being wasted, they have to be used in the best way. So now draw everyone's attention to themselves. Children had also arranged a topic: 'For SelfTransformation', but this year every centre has the freedom to do whatever it can with selfprogress. First of all, plan a budget for saving for the self. And for service, give this experience to others. If you are able to arrange large programmes, then do so. If you are unable to do that, then hold small programmes. However, special attention should be paid to balancing selfservice with serving others and world service. It should not be that you become so busy in service that you do not have time for selfprogress. This is a year for freedom of service. Do as much as you want. Keeping both plans in your awareness, you can make further addition: the plans can be studded with jewels. The Father always keeps the children in the front. Achcha.

To all the elevated souls everywhere who follow the father, to the souls who have a right to receive blessings from the Father by always keeping a balance of double service, to those who are always unlimited emperors, to such Raj Yogis, easy yogis, natural yogis, and to the extremely loving and cooperative children who always maintain the faith and intoxication of having been victorious many times, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

Personal meetings with Avyakt BapDada:

What is the easy way for every task, whether lokik or alokik, from amrit vela till night time, to become constantly easy and successful? Whenever you perform any action, first of all become trikaldarshi and then perform the action, because by performing actions in the trikaldarshi stage – by having knowledge of all three aspects of time in your intellect – there won’t be any ups and downs in any of the actions. In any case, to be gyani means to consider carefully the before and after of any action and then to perform the action; to know the result of the action before you perform the action. It should not be that in a rush you quickly did whatever came to you; there cannot be success in that. First of all think of the result and then perform the action and the result will always be elevated. Only elevated results are said to be successful. It should not be that you were too busy, and that you simply began to perform whatever task came in front of you; no. BapDada has given you shrimat: Before you eat food, first of all offer bhog and then eat. If you don’t perform the action of offering bhog, and simply eat quickly, then what will the result of that be? Firstly, when you forget to have remembrance, you are not able to have the effect of Brahma Bhojan on your mind, and, secondly, there will be a loss due to not following the Father’s shrimat because that is disobedience. That also brings wrong fruit. If you develop the habit of thinking of the three aspects of time before performing the action, and you perform the action while stable in the trikaldarshi stage, then none of your actions will be wasteful; they will not be ordinary. You will attain success in worldly actions and in alokik life also; there will be success and only success. So, sit on the throne of the stage of the awareness of being trikaldarshi, then decide what you have to do, what you don’t have to do and how you have to do something. Then, it will not be possible for any of your actions not to give fruit. If the seed is powerful, you will definitely receive its fruit. However, when you perform weak actions in a rush, you receive very little fruit; you don’t receive as much as you should; you don’t receive as much as you would like to receive. So, the basis of success in every action is the trikaldarshi stage. It should not be that you simply remember that you are a master trikaldarshi and you forget it at the time of performing actions but you must use this awareness. Never become careless about this practice. Practise this because you have to accumulate for 21 births. You have to accumulate for 21 births in one birth and so think about how much attention you should pay. Do not have tension, but always pay attention. Now transform the carelessness. Since the Bestower is giving, take fully. The Bestower is giving but if those who are taking become happy with just a little, what would the result be? You will not receive it again. So, pay full attention. Achcha.

Blessing: May you be a master teacher who always accumulates and inspires others to accumulate an account of charity.

I am a master teacher. By calling yourself a master, you will automatically remember the Father. When you remember the One who has made you as you are, you are automatically aware that you are an instrument. Have the special awareness that you are a charitable soul and that you have to accumulate and inspire others to accumulate an account of charity. This is special service. A charitable soul cannot have even one per cent of a thought of committing a sin. To be a master teacher means always to accumulate in your account of charity and to inspire others too, like the Father.

Slogan: Those who know the importance of a gathering experience their own safety in a gathering.
