Avyakt murli for Friday 25 June 1971

⁰> > 25/06/71 - 31/08/92 ¹Equality in service and tapasya.

²Do you consider yourselves to be the children of the Seed of the Tree?

³There is the symbolism of the tree on the path of bhakti also.

⁴When a tapaswi soul does tapasya, he does it sitting under a tree.

⁵What is the significance of this?

⁶Why does he do tapasya sitting under a tree?

⁷What is the reason for this? ⁸Why did this system start? ⁹What is its unlimited significance? ¹⁰Where is your place of residence in this world tree?

¹¹You are sitting under the tree amongst the roots.

¹²The pictures that are created with knowledge now become memorials on the path of bhakti.

¹³What is visible under the tree when seen from a distance?

¹⁴Tapaswi souls doing tapasya: it is tapaswis sitting under the tree.

¹⁵By sitting under the tree, the entire knowledge of the tree automatically enters the intellect.

¹⁶When you sit under a tree, then even against your conscious wish, your attention is drawn to the flowers, fruit and leaves etc.

¹⁷So when you sit in the foundation of the kalpa tree, all the knowledge of the tree automatically stays within the intellect.

¹⁸Just as the entire knowledge of the tree is merged within the seed, in the same way, when you consider yourselves to be the foundation of the kalpa tree, that is, sitting amongst the roots, the knowledge of the entire tree automatically enters your intellect.

¹⁹The memorial of this stage of yours continues on the path of bhakti, whereas here, it is practical. ²⁰You are doing tapasya.

²¹Then later, on the path of bhakti, you do tapasya sitting under a physical tree.

²²In the beginning, you had the intoxication that you were sitting at the top of the tree; the entire tree was below you and you were up above.

²³You stayed up above.

²⁴If you turn the tree upside down, you would be up above.

²⁵Therefore, just as previously, you had a lot of intoxication that you were sitting at the top of the tree and observing the entire tree, in the same way, do you still have the intoxication of doing tapasya in a variety of many different ways?

²⁶Was the intoxication of the beginning greater than now, or is the intoxication now greater?

²⁷That was just the form of tapasya, whereas now, tapasya and service are taking place simultaneously.

²⁸That intoxication was just from doing tapasya.

²⁹There was no reason to come down, whereas now, tapasya and service are taking place simultaneously.

³⁰Both activities are taking place at the same time, and therefore, you must pay special attention to increasing your intoxication every now and again.

³¹This is known as charging your battery.

³²The experience will be as though the tree is truly in the emerged form, and that you are looking at the tree as a detached observer.

³³This intoxication gives you a lot of happiness; it also gives you power.

³⁴This is why there is a lot of praise of the Seed of the Tree and the tree.

³⁵Whilst doing a variety of service in this way, you must continue to fill yourself with the power of tapasya.

³⁶Through this, tapasya and service will remain combined and simultaneous.

³⁷It shouldn't be that because you get involved in service, you forget to do tapasya; no.

³⁸Both should be simultaneous.

³⁹There is the combined form, is there not?

⁴⁰You will have to check this every now and again.

⁴¹Until you become a checker, you cannot become a maker.

⁴²You cannot become a world-maker or a peace-maker that have been remembered until you become a checker.

⁴³You need to check yourself a great deal.

⁴⁴No matter how much others check for you, they cannot do it to the same extent. ⁴⁵By checking yourself, you can progress a great deal.

⁴⁶You have to check yourself.

⁴⁷You don't need time to check yourself.

⁴⁸When you have this practice naturally, there is no need for any time; it continues to happen automatically.

⁴⁹Then it doesn't even take one second to check yourself.

⁵⁰How long does it take to check yourself?

⁵¹You can find one second no matter how busy you may be.

⁵²You just need to have this practice.

⁵³You have to become a checking master.

⁵⁴Just as you are a master almighty authority and master knowledge-full, in the same way, you have to become a checking master.

⁵⁵Achcha.

⁵⁶According to the drama, all of you are moving along very well.

⁵⁷But even though you may be moving along very well, you have to check yourself.

⁵⁸You know that this is the beneficial age, but even then, you have to think of plans for bringing benefit to yourself and to others.

⁵⁹Make such new plans through which the stage of all takes a jump.

⁶⁰All of you are moving along and will continue to move along.

⁶¹But if you receive an extra force of planning or of co-operation every now and then, you are able to take a jump.

⁶²Just as a rocket is only able to fly when it is given force through fire, in the same way, you should receive the force of light and might, and then you will be able to take a jump.

⁶³For this, you need the co-operation of extra force. ⁶⁴Through this co-operation, everyone will have the experience of the attainment of power.

⁶⁵This is also essential.

⁶⁶Firstly, there is a great weakness in the power of churning.

⁶⁷This is why the report from the majority is that they ask how to be able to control wasteful thoughts: How should we put a check on this major weakness and finish it? ⁶⁸You have to think of a plan for this.

⁶⁹You know about your weaknesses anyway.

⁷⁰When you receive guidance for it, you are able to suppress it, but you are not able to finish those sanskars.

⁷¹This is why, after a short time, the report of the majority is the same.

⁷²You also receive extra force through a bhatthi; there is one or another transformation.

⁷³But now, think of a plan to keep permanently the force you take with you from here.

⁷⁴Many complain that they do not have any power.

⁷⁵They have knowledge, but knowledge is also said to be light and might; they do not know the method of filling themselves with power through knowledge.
