The Call of the Time – Become a Bestower

Today, the most elevated Bestower of Fortune, the Bestower of all Powers, BapDada is seeing all His children who are listening to Him in Madhuban, in this land and abroad. No matter where all of you are sitting, you are all personally in front of BapDada with their heart. So, BapDada is happy to see all the children everywhere. All of you are also happy, are you not? You children are happy and BapDada is also happy. This constant happiness of the heart will remove all the sorrow of the whole world. This happiness in your heart will make souls experience the Father because He is a constant Server of all souls and all of you children are His service companions. All of you are companions, are you not? You are the Father’s companions and you transform the sorrow of the world and constantly remain engaged in service that is the means to remain happy. You are constant servers. You are not those who serve for just four hours or six hours. You are God’s companions who play your part on the stage of service at every second. Just as remembrance is constant, in the same way, your service is also constant. Do you experience yourselves to be constant servers? Or are you servers who serve for only eight hours or ten hours? This Brahmin birth is for remembrance and service. Is there anything else you have to do? This is all you have to do! At every second and at every breath, remembrance and service should be simultaneous. Or, is it that the time for service is separate from the time for remembrance? It isn’t, is it? Do you have a good balance? If you are doing 100% service, do you also have 100% remembrance? Is there balance between the two? There is a difference, isn’t there? A karma yogi means one who performs actions whilst staying in remembrance; there should be remembrance and service. There should be equal balance. It should not be that sometimes your remembrance is greater than service. Or that sometimes your service is greater than remembrance. Whilst the soul and the body are on the stage, they are both together. Can they be separated? In the same way, remembrance and service should be combined. Remembrance means to be equal to the Father. There should also be remembrance of your self respect. When you remember the Father, you automatically also remember your selfrespect. If you don’t have selfrespect, you cannot have powerful remembrance.

Selfrespect means to be equal to the Father. Complete selfrespect is to be equal to the Father. Those children who have such remembrance will be constant bestowers. They would not be those who take, they would be bestowers, the devtas (deities). Today, BapDada was checking all the children’s stage to see to what extent you have become bestowers. The Father can never have the thought of taking anything. He constantly thinks of giving. Even when He asks you to give everything old you have, in return He gives you everything new. To receive means to give to the Father. So, at present, BapDada liked one topic of the children very much. Which topic was that? The topic chosen by the foreigners. Which topic is that? “The Call of the Time”.

BapDada was seeing that He is a Service Companion for you children, for the world and for service. However, BapDada was also seeing what the call of the time was for you children at present? You can understand what the call of the time would be at present. Think about yourself. You have given lectures for service and are still doing that, are you not? However, ask yourself about yourself: What is the call of the time for me at present? What is it? What is the present call of the time? BapDada was seeing that according to the present time, all of you children have to increase the awareness of being a bestower. Are the feelings of being a bestower in terms of self progress and in terms of having love for everyone visible in you in an emerged form? No matter who others are or what they are like, you have to bestow. A bestower would constantly have an unlimited attitude, not limited. A bestower would constantly be full and overflowing. A bestower would constantly be a master ocean of forgiveness. Because of this, your limited sanskars or the sanskars of others would not be in an emerged form, but they would be merged. You have to bestow. Whether others give or not, you have to be a bestower. You have to help any soul who may be under the influence of any sanskar. Then anyone’s limited sanskars will not influence you. Whether someone gives you regard or not, you have to give regard. You now have to have the feelings of being a bestower like this in an emerged way. It should not be that you have this feeling in your mind, but…. There should be no buts. You have to do this. If someone’s activity or words are not to your liking, don’t accept them. Would you take anything that is bad? To imbibe that thing in your mind means to take that. It should not even touch your head. That matter should not even enter your head. Since that is something bad, since it is not good, don’t accept it with your head or your heart; don’t imbibe it. Instead, be a bestower and have good wishes and pure feelings. Don’t take anything bad. If, according to the time now, your head and heart don’t become empty, you will not be able to be a constant server. When your head and heart are busy in something, what service will they do? Then it will be the same here as in the world outside when you work for eight hours or ten hours. You will then be a server who serves for eight hours or six hours. You will not be able to be a constant server. You can serve through your thoughts, words or actions, that is, through your interaction with contacts and relations. Be a bestower, a server, at every second. By keeping your head empty you will be able to be the Father’s companion in service. By keeping your heart constantly clean you can be the Father’s constant companion in service. What is the promise that all of you have made? You have promised that you will stay with the Father and return with Him. This is your promise, is it not? It isn’t that Baba will go ahead and you will follow. It isn’t like this. You have made a promise to stay together, have you not? Does the Father stay without doing service? He doesn’t even stay without having remembrance. You stay in remembrance just as much as Baba, but with effort. You also have that remembrance, but with effort and attention. What else exists for the Father? There are just you souls for the Supreme Soul. Of course all souls are numberwise. The Father cannot exist without the remembrance of you children. Can the Father stay without remembering you children? Can you remain without remembering Baba? Sometimes you become mischievous.

So what did you hear? The call of the time is “Be a Bestower”. There is a great need for this. The call of all the souls of the world is: Hey our speciallyloved deities. You are the specially loved deities, are you not? In one form or another, you are the speciallyloved deities for all souls. So now the call of all the souls is: “Hey speciallyloved deities, the gods and goddesses, bring about transformation.” Can you hear this call? Can the Pandavas hear this call? What are you doing having heard this call? Since you are able to hear it, are you giving some salvation, or are you still thinking, “Yes, we will do that.” Can you hear the call? You tell people about the call of the time, but you simply listen to the call of all the souls. So, the speciallyloved deities, now let your form of being a bestower emerge. You now have to bestow. No soul should remain deprived, otherwise, you will be garlanded with garlands of complaints. People will of course complain, will they not? So, are you the special deities who will wear the garland of complaints or the deities who will wear the garland of flowers? Which special deities are you? You are worthytobeworshipped, are you not? Do not think that you have come last and that only all the seniors will be bestowers and that it is not possible for you to become that. No!

Those who have come to Madhuban for the first time, raise your hands! Achcha. Those who have come here for the first time, can you become bestowers or will you become that in the second or third year? Can those who have been following knowledge for one year become bestowers? (Ha ji.) You are very clever. BapDada is always happy to see your courage. Whether you are one year old or even one month old, BapDada knows that whether you are one year old or six months old, you still call yourself a Brahma Kumar or Kumari in just one month. So, to be a Brahma Kumar or Kumari means to claim a right to the inheritance from father Brahma. It is when you accepted Brahma as your father that you became a kumar or kumari. So you Brahma Kumars and Kumaris claimed a right to the inheritance of Father Shiva and father Brahma. Or is it that those who are only one month old will not receive an inheritance? Will those who are one month old receive an inheritance? Since you have received your inheritance, you will be bestowers to give that to others, will you not? Whatever you have received, you should start to give that to others, should you not?

If you have forged a connection with the Father considering him to be your father, then you can claim your inheritance in even one day. This is good; there is some power, I do understand, but this is not enough. It is the children who have a right to the inheritance, not just those who just understand and observe. If you accept Baba as your Father with your heart, then you can claim a right to your inheritance in one day. All of you are this, are you not? All of you are Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, are you not? Or, are you still becoming that? Have you become that or have you come here to become that? Can anyone change you? Is it possible that instead of being Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, you become just kumars and kumaris? There is so much benefit in becoming Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. There isn’t the benefit of just one birth, but benefit of many births. You make effort for half a birth or quarter of your birth and the reward you receive is for many births. You have nothing but benefit.

According to the present time, BapDada is especially drawing your attention to one thing because He constantly sees the result of you children. In your results Baba saw that you have very good courage. You also have a very good aim. However, according to your aim, there is even now a difference between your aim and its qualifications. The aim of all of you is to claim the first number. If BapDada were to ask anyone if your aim was to claim the fortune of the kingdom for twentyone births, to become part of the sun dynasty or to become part of the moon dynasty, what would all of you raise your hand for? That you will become part of the sun dynasty! Is there anyone who would want to become part of the moon dynasty? Is there anyone who wants to become part of the moon dynasty? Out of those sitting at the back, is there anyone? Is anyone going to become Rama? No one? One of you should become that. Someone is going to become Rama. (One person raised his hand.) It is good. Otherwise, the seat of Rama would remain empty. So all of you have a very good aim. It is necessary to pay attention so that your qualifications are according to your aim. What is the reason for this? You were told this today, and that is that you sometimes become those who simply take. “This should happen, this one should do this, this one should help, I will change if the other one changes. I would be okay if this situation were okay.” This means to be one who simply takes. This is not being a bestower. Whether someone gives you something or not, the Father has given you everything. Has Baba given someone a little more and someone a little less? There is just the one course for everyone. Whether you are 60 years old in gyan or just one month, you all have the same course. Or, is the course for those who are 60 years in gyan different from those who are just one month in gyan? They did the same course as you have today. The knowledge is the same, the love you receive is the same and all the powers that you receive are the same. Everything is the same. It isn’t that Baba has given 16 powers to one and 8 powers to another. All of you have received the same inheritance. Since Baba has made all of you full and overflowing, such souls would be bestowers, not those who would still be taking. You have to give. Whether someone gives or not, you have to have the desire to give and not have the desire to take. The more you give as a bestower, the more your treasures will increase. For instance, when you give respect to someone, that means you increase your own respect. That giving is not giving, but to give means to receive. Don’t take, but instead give and this will be the same as receiving. So, do you understand what is the call of the time? What is it? Simply remember one word, “Bestower”. No matter what happens, simply remember one word, “bestower”. Ignorant of all knowledge of desires. There should be no desire to receive anything either in a subtle way or a physical way. A bestower means one who is totally ignorant of all knowledge of desires, one who is full. You would not experience yourself to be lacking anything for which you would have a desire to receive. You would be full of all attainments. So what is your aim? It is to become complete, is it not? Or are you happy with whatever you receive? To become complete is to become perfect.

Today, those from abroad have been given a chance. It is good. Those from abroad have taken the first chance, and so you are the speciallyloved ones. Everyone else (from Bharat) has been told not to come and all those from abroad have been invited. BapDada remembers all the children, but still, He is happy to see the courage of all the double foreigners. At present, you don’t have so much upheaval. There is now a difference. In the beginning, you used to have a question about the Indian culture and the foreign culture. Now, you have all understood everything very clearly. Now, you belong to the Brahmin culture. It is neither Indian culture nor foreign culture! It is now Brahmin culture! The Indian culture can create a little complication, but the Brahmin culture is easy. The Brahmin culture is to maintain your selfrespect and claim a right to selfsovereignty. This is Brahmin culture. You like this, do you not? You don’t have the question of how to adopt the Indian culture any more, do you? Or that it is difficult? It has become easy, has it not? Is it easy? Be careful that when you return home you don’t say that it is a little difficult. Don’t write this when you return home. Don’t write that you said it was easy, but in fact it is a little difficult. Is it easy? Or, is it a little difficult? It is not difficult at all! It is very easy. You are amused at the moment. You are amused because all games have ended. You have now become very strong. All the childhood games have ended. You have now all become experienced. BapDada sees that the stronger the older ones become, the stronger the new ones will also become. It is good that you make each one move forward. You make very good effort. You don’t take incidents to Dadis any more, do you? Do you take stories and incidents to Dadis now? These have now reduced! There is a difference, is there not? (To Dadi Janki) So now you shouldn’t become ill! You become ill because of all the stories and incidences, and they have now all finished. You are good. All of you have the best special virtues; the cleanliness of your heart is very good. You don’t keep anything inside; you remove it all. Whatever the situation is, you tell about it honestly: “It isn’t like this, it is like this.”, but you tell everything as it is. This speciality is good. This is why Baba says: He is pleased with a true and clean heart. If yes, then yes, and if no, then no! You would not consider anything else. You don’t move along with compulsion. If you follow the path, you follow it completely. If not, then not at all. Achcha.

BapDada saw the meetings of those from abroad and also those from India. You have had many meetings. BapDada is happy that you have made time to make plans and have worked hard. You have created a good gathering. Whatever task accomplished by a gathering is easily successful. The double foreigners have shown the practical proof of the power of the gathering in the meetings. BapDada is happy with the courage and the work that you have put into all the plans that you have created. Therefore, what group do you have? RCO. BapDada knows that all of you have come here especially for service and so BapDada is congratulating all RCOs. You have created good plans. Continue to move along with whatever you can do and as much as you can do. Simply remember one thing. That there should be no difference between the plans of service and selfprogress. After putting your plans into practice, don’t say that you became busy in service and therefore, there was a difference in your selfprogress. Don’t say this. Constantly maintain a balance between the two. Why? It is not good that you serve others and you don’t serve yourself. To maintain balance between the two is success. Do you understand? Achcha.

All those who have come for the RCO meeting raise your hands! The International Service Group should also raise your hands. Achcha. Congratulations! It is good that you have taken out special time to sit in a bhatti. You have a good chance in Madhuban. You also have the opportunity to meet one another. All of you receive the news from everywhere. So BapDada is congratulating you. You have done very well. BapDada is also giving lovefilled congratulations to all those who have come from everywhere else. Baba also received the news that everyone has sent lots of love and remembrance through letters. BapDada is giving love and remembrance even before your letter reaches Him. When you children write, as soon as you have the thought, with the facilities of science your letter is able to reach its destination quickly. The letter reaches there later, but the fastest is the emails. So, even before you begin to write your email, it reaches Baba. All these facilities have been invented to help all of you children in service. When Brahma Baba hears the news that there is the facility of emails, or any other facility, he is happy and says, “Wah, children, wah!” Even Brahma Baba did not have all these easy facilities (sadhan) in his days, but he is happy that all of you children have them. Simply use them whilst considering them to be facilities for service. They are facilities for service. Since you have to benefit the world, you have all these facilities to help you. Do not be dependent on the facilities, but use those facilities for service. This is the middle period when you have received all these facilities. There were no facilities in the beginning and they will not be there at the end. These facilities are for now, in order to increase service. However, they are just the facilities, whereas you are the ones who have to make spiritual endeavour (sadhana). Your spiritual endeavour should not be reduced because of the facilities. However, BapDada is happy. He sees the scenes of you children. You all do everything very quickly. BapDada comes to visit your offices too and sees how you are working. You remain very busy. Your offices are working very well, are they not? Just as you are able to use the facilities in one second, in the same way, every now and again, also make some time for spiritual endeavour. Take out even a second. One minute you have your hand on the instrument, and the next moment practise one second of spiritual endeavour. The more you practise using the instruments, the easier they become to use and you use them automatically. In the same way, you should also have the practise of one second’s spiritual endeavour. You should not say that you did not have time because you were busy all day long. BapDada does not accept this. When you use the facilities for one hour, can you not take out 5 to 6 seconds for spiritual endeavour? Is there anyone who is so busy that they cannot take out 5 minutes or who cannot take out 5 seconds? Is there anyone who cannot do this? Are you able to do this? Pandavas, speak! Then take out some time!

BapDada hears that today you were busy, that you were very busy. You even make your face look busy. But BapDada does not accept this. You can do whatever you want. You are simply lacking attention. Just as you pay attention to finish a letter in 10 minutes so you become busy in that because of your deadline. You create your timetable accordingly when you think you have to finish something in 10 minutes. So simply add one or two minutes to that in advance. This will take 8 minutes, not 6 minutes. If something will take 8 minutes, then add two minutes for spiritual endeavour. Is this possible? (Baba asking Sister Gayatri).

So now, never say that you are very busy. BapDada sees your face at that time; it is worth taking a photograph at that time. No matter how busy you are, add time for your spiritual endeavour together with the use of the facilities. What happens is that you do very good service and you make time for that, and congratulations for that, but because of not having selfprogress or spiritual endeavour every now and again, there is the influence of tiredness. Your intellect becomes tired and your hands and feet also become tired. But if you were to make time for spiritual endeavour inbetween, then your tiredness would be removed. You experience happiness, do you not? When there is happiness, you never feel tired. You become engaged in action, but BapDada says that you remain actionconscious for a long time. It is like this, is it not? You receive marks for being actionconscious because your time is not wasted. However, there is a difference between receiving marks for being soul conscious and for being action conscious. There is a difference, isn’t there? So now, maintain a balance. Do not break the link. Continue to forge a connection because the majority of you double foreigners remain double busy in your work. BapDada knows that you make a lot of effort, but also maintain balance. Make as much time available for spiritual endeavour as you can, whether it is a minute or a second, but definitely make some time. Is this possible? Pandavas, is this possible? Teachers, is this possible? And those who are working in the office, is this possible? You are saying, “yes” very well. Achcha.

The plans that those from Bharat have created are also very good. According to your own environment, each one’s plans are good.

BapDada has accepted the love and remembrance of all those children who have sent it either through letters or through others. In return BapDada is giving all the children the blessing of being a bestower.

Achcha, are you able to fly in one second? Your wings are powerful, aren’t they? As soon as you say Baba, you fly. (Baba conducted a drill.)

To all the children everywhere who have feelings of being bestowers, the same as the Father; to all the elevated souls who constantly remain engaged in remembrance and service; to all God’s service companions who make their aim and qualifications equal; to those who are constantly loving and equal to the Father and who are close and the stars of BapDada’s eyes; to the merciful souls who constantly have benevolent feelings for the world; to the master oceans of forgiveness who are sitting near to Baba or sitting down below in Madhuban (Meditation Hall, History Hall), and all the children in front of BapDada, love, remembrance and namaste to all the children.

BapDada meeting the International Service Group: Each jewel is very, very valuable. BapDada constantly turns the beads of the rosary of the specialities of each jewel. It is because you have specialities that you are remembered as the special souls. Simply continue to use those specialities all the time. BapDada constantly turns the beads of the rosary of each one’s specialities and sings the song: wah, My special jewels, wah! This is why you were told that BapDada constantly remembers you children. You are great and you are going to make the world great through your own greatness. How much are you praised? Just as the children sing the Father’s praise, the Father also sings praise of you children. Do you experience this spiritual intoxication? Do you constantly consider yourself to be a hero actor, an instrument on the world stage, playing a hero part? So BapDada constantly sings the song: “Very good, very good”. You are very good, aren’t you? You are good and you will remain good. It is a guarantee that you will remain good. There is no question about whether you will remain good or not? Is there any question about this? Should Baba ask you whether you would remain good? No. You have to remain good and you will remain good. Achcha. This is a very good gathering.
