Avyakt murli for Monday 9 June 1969

⁰> > 09-06-69 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Laziness - the sweet form of inactivity

²Are all of you stable in the avyakt stage whilst in the corporeal form?

³What do you call the avyakt stage? ⁴Do you recognise it?

⁵First there is the recognition of the avyakt stage, then there is the discernment of it. ⁶Do you have knowledge of both these aspects?

⁷What do you call the avyakt stage?

⁸(The absence of the awareness of the corporeal form.) ⁹How can there not be the awareness of the corporeal form whilst performing actions with the corporeal form?

¹⁰How much experience do you have of the avyakt stage whilst being in the corporeal form? ¹¹Today, Baba wants to ask all of you this.

¹²What is the longest time you should spend in this stage? ¹³What should the longest time be, do you know that?

¹⁴(Eight hours.) ¹⁵According to the complete stage, even eight hours is insufficient.

¹⁶According to your present effort, is eight hours too much? ¹⁷(Not a single person raised his hand.)

¹⁸Achcha. ¹⁹Those who have reached six hours, raise your hands.

²⁰(Again, not a single person raised his hand.)

²¹Achcha, those who have reached four hours of remembrance, raise your hands.

²²(Some raised their hand for four hours remembrance and some for two hours.) ²³According to this result, how much time do you need to make effort? ²⁴The course has finished.

²⁵You are now doing the revised course.

²⁶But even then, the result for the majority of you is ....(not so good). ²⁷What is the reason for this?

²⁸All of you are making effort, you have the enthusiasm, and you have the aim; then why are you not able to do it?

²⁹(Lack of attention.) ³⁰In which aspect is there a lack of attention?

³¹Everyone has the attention to be worthy and come close, but which aspect of attention is still lacking? ³²What causes the lack of practice of the avyakt stage?

³³All sitting here are effort-makers.

³⁴Is there anyone sitting here who would say that he is not an effort-maker?

³⁵Since you are effort-makers, why is this lacking?

³⁶What do you have to do?

³⁷Why are you not able to remain introverted when you want to?

³⁸Why do you become extroverted?

³⁹All of you have become enlightened souls. ⁴⁰Whilst being clever, enlightened souls, why do you become senseless?

⁴¹You have received understanding.

⁴²The course for understanding has also finished.

⁴³And since the course is finished, it means that you have become sensible.

⁴⁴Why are you still senseless?

⁴⁵It has been seen that the main reason is that some of you become careless, and this can also be called laziness.

⁴⁶The sweet form of laziness is lethargy.

⁴⁷There are many forms of laziness.

⁴⁸The majority of you have laziness or carelessness in one form or another.

⁴⁹There is the desire and also the effort to do it, but because there is carelessness, you are not able to make the kind of effort that you should be making.

⁵⁰When there is greater knowledge in the intellect, there is greater carelessness because of it.

⁵¹Those who consider themselves to be less clever are making intense effort, those who consider themselves to be very clever become more careless.

⁵²The desperation to show and do something that there previously used to be in your effort has now finished.

⁵³You have become content.

⁵⁴You have become content with yourself.

⁵⁵"We have understood the knowledge, we are doing service anyway."

⁵⁶You must not become a contented soul in this way.

⁵⁷There should be that compulsion and enthusiasm in your effort, just as when the ones in bondage are desperate, they make intense effort.

⁵⁸However, those who are not in bondage become content and so become careless.

⁵⁹This is the result seen in the majority of effort- makers.

⁶⁰Always think that you are becoming a number one effort-maker, not that you have become that.

⁶¹When there is the knowledge of all the three aspects of time in the intellect, you consider yourself to be even more clever.

⁶²You were also told previously how you become a master when you should become a child, and how you become a child when you should become a master.

⁶³So you are making sweet effort in the form of a child.

⁶⁴You have claimed a right to the kingdom and you have also received the tilak. ⁶⁵However, this slack and sweet effort will not do any more.

⁶⁶The more you remain stable in the form of shakti, the more powerful your effort will be.

⁶⁷At present, your effort is not powerful; it is slack.

⁶⁸All of you are effort- makers, but there isn't the power that there should be in the effort; it isn't powerful effort.

⁶⁹In order to fill your effort with power, you must keep a point in front of you in the morning.

⁷⁰Just as you have a heart-to-heart conversation at amrit vela, in the same way, in order to make your effort powerful, especially retain one or another point in the intellect.

⁷¹Now you need to make special effort.

⁷²The days of making ordinary effort have now passed.

⁷³Just as you hold special functions, in the same way, you must now understand that because there is very little time, you have to have a programme for making special effort.

⁷⁴You have to keep the aim of making special effort and move forward.

⁷⁵If you still continue to move along with this poor result, what will be the result of the exams that are yet to come?

⁷⁶Much more difficult exams are yet to come, and so in order to face them, you have to make hard effort.

⁷⁷If the effort is ordinary and the exams are difficult, what will the result be?

⁷⁸Achcha. ⁷⁹Today, Baba is meeting the brothers.

⁸⁰Are you content with your effort?

⁸¹You are continuing to move along, but to what percentage?

⁸²Those who consider themselves to be following shrimat by 75%, raise your hand.

⁸³(Many raised their hand.) ⁸⁴Achcha, what is the main shrimat?

⁸⁵The main shrimat is to stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance for as long as possible.

⁸⁶Because it is through this pilgrimage of remembrance that there will be success in purity, the divine virtues and service.

⁸⁷What is the chart of remembrance like for those who follow shrimat by 75%?
