19-12-85 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban
Follow the Father.
Today, BapDada has come to celebrate a meeting in order to give all the loving children the response of their love. Bodiless BapDada has to take the support of a body. Why? In order to make you children bodiless too. Just as the Father is bodiless and gives the experience of the bodiless form, of being bodiless while in a body, in the same way, all of you, whilst living your life, remain stable in the bodiless, soul conscious stage while in a body and, by being karavanhar (the one who inspires), make your body perform actions. That body is karanhar (the one that does) and you, the soul, are karavanhar (the one who inspires). This stage is called the bodiless stage. This is called following the Father. In order to follow the Father constantly, let your intellect remain stable in two stages. The stage of following the Father is the stage of constantly being without a body, the bodiless stage, the incorporeal stage. In order to follow Dada, that is Father Brahma, may you always be in the avyakt stage, the angelic stage, the subtle stage. To remain stable in both these stages is called following the Father. The stage below this is the awareness of the gross form and the awareness of people. Do not come down to that stage. Awareness of people and gross awareness is the basis of bringing you down. Therefore, always remain beyond everything, stable in these two stages. The third aspect is that, as soon as you took Brahmin birth, you received BapDada’s teachings. Do not go into the stage of falling down even in your thoughts or dreams. That is a stage that doesn’t belong to you. What would happen if someone were to go abroad without permission? BapDada has already drawn this line of obedience: do not step outside it. If you are disobedient, you become distressed and you also repent. Therefore, the easy way to constantly maintain your pride and to remain stable in the stage of being an embodiment of all attainments, is to follow the Father. It is easy to follow, is it not? In life, you are experienced in following from childhood. In childhood, you are made to follow your father by holding his finger while walking, sitting and moving around. Then, when you become a householder, husband and wife are taught to follow one another. Then, as you progress further you adopt a guru, you become followers of a guru. You become those who follow him. In worldly life, you have to follow in the beginning and also at the end. The alokik and parlokik fathers are also showing you one easy method. They free you from the expansion of, “What should I do? How should I do this? Should I do it like this or like that?” The answer to all questions is just one: follow the Father.
It was the Brahma soul who completed the full 84 births and became the instrument to teach you how to perform actions in the corporeal form. In actions, in becoming free from the bondage of actions, in fulfilling responsibility through actions, in remaining stable in the bodiless stage whilst in a body, in becoming free from the bondages of the body, in the stage of remaining absorbed and lost in love, in using every new penny in a worthwhile way, it was corporeal Brahma who became the instrument in physical life. The soul who was tied in the bondage of karma became the example of becoming karmateet. So, it is easy to follow a practical life. This is the lesson to follow the father. When you ask questions connected with the body, relationships or wealth, the answer to all of those questions is the life of Father Brahma. Scientists today ask computers for answers to all their questions because they believe a computer is more accurate than the human intellect. They believe the thing that is created to be more accurate than the one who created it. However, for you who have silence, the life of Brahma is the accurate computer. Therefore, instead of asking “why?” or “how?”, look at the computer of life. The questions of “how?” and “what?” will change into “like this”. Instead of being one with many questions, you will become content and satisfied. Someone who asks many questions has a fluctuating intellect. This is why the sign of a question mark is crooked. When you write the sign of a question mark, it is crooked, whereas the sign of being content and satisfied is a full stop. Is there anything crooked in a full stop? It is the same from all sides. If you look at a full stop from any angle, it will be the right way and it will always be the same whether you look at it the right way up or the wrong way round. In the stage of being content and satisfied, that is, in being constant and stable, you are one who follows the father. So, what is the essence? Follow Brahma in the corporeal form and follow Father Brahma in the subtle form. Whether you follow Father Brahma or Father Shiva, the same words are used: Follow the Father. This is why there is the praise of Brahma: Salutations to Brahma, the Guru of the World, because in order for you to follow, it was Brahma in the corporeal form who became the instrument for the corporeal world.
None of you call yourselves Shiv Kumars and Shiv Kumaris, you call yourselves Brahma Kumars and Brahma Kumaris. It is Brahma who becomes a sample of the physical elevated life for the corporeal creation. This is why Father Shiva is called the Satguru and the one who teaches you something is called a guru. It is Brahma who becomes the instrument to teach the world. So, you have to follow him in every action. It is in this context that Brahma is called the Jagadguru (World Guru). This is why the world praises Brahma. The title Jagadpita also belongs to Brahma. Vishnu and Shankar cannot be called Prajapati (Lord of Humanity). In terms of being a master, they call him Pati (Lord) but, in fact, he is the Pita (Father). To the extent that he is loved by the world, accordingly he also became detached from the world, and now, through the subtle form, he is teaching you the lesson of following him in the avyakt stage. Do you understand? No other soul has that much detachment. Baba will tell you this story of Brahma’s detachment at some other time.
Today, Baba also has to look after the body. When something is given on loan, then a good master is one who uses the body and the place according to the capacity of its power. Nevertheless, BapDada has become the Instrument to make the chariot work to play both powerful parts. This is also the basis of a special blessing in the drama. Many children ask the question: Why did this particular chariot become the instrument? Let alone others, this one (Gulzar Dadi) also has this question. Just as Brahma did not know of his own births, this one too forgot her blessing. This child received a blessing from corporeal Brahma at the time of the part of visions in the beginning. In the beginning with Father Brahma, in a tapaswi place of solitude, seeing the special part of visions of this soul and seeing the speciality of an easy nature and an innocent life, Brahma Baba gave her the blessing: Just as you have become Father Brahma’s companion in the beginning in this part, and have been with him, so too, in the future as well, you will also fulfil the duty of being the father’s companion and in becoming equal to him. You will play a part equal to that of Father Brahma in service. So that blessing has become a line of fortune. And it became fixed for her to play the part of being the chariot just as Father Brahma did. However, BapDada is giving congratulations to the child for playing this part, and for being able to adjust to so much power for so long. This lift of the speciality of being able to adjust has become an extra gift. BapDada has to consider everything, including the body. The harmonium (instrument body) is old, and the one using it is powerful. However, because of the lesson of “Ha ji, Ha ji”, it is working well. Nevertheless, BapDada is making it work with the right method and in the right way. Of course He has promised to meet you, but this method will continue to change according to the time. Baba will tell you everything in the eighteenth year. Seventeen years have yet to be completed. Achcha.
To all the easy effortmaking children who follow the Father, to the special content and satisfied souls, to the master creator children who always become karavanhar and make the body perform actions, to the children who give a response through their life, lovefilled remembrance and namaste.
Blessing: May you be one with a broad and unlimited intellect and use your powers under your orders by remaining set on your seat of selfrespect.
With your broad and unlimited intellect, use your servers, all the powers at the right time. Maintain the intoxication of all the titles you have received directly from God. Remain set on your seat of selfrespect and you will experience all powers to be always ready for service. They will be waiting for your orders. So use your blessings and your inheritance. Be master, be yogyukt, take service from your servers in a yuktiyukt way and you will always remain happy. You won’t need to repeatedly make a request.
Slogan: Before beginning any task, let the special awareness emerge: Success is the birthright of me, the elevated Brahmin soul.
