¹Will power and controlling power

²Do you experience both will power and controlling power in yourself?

³Because both these powers are extremely necessary for your own effort and for the progress of all other souls.

⁴If you do not have controlling power and will power in your own self, then you do not have the power to make others will something.

⁵You are then not able to make others control their wasteful thoughts or their wasteful behaviour.

⁶You do not have any will power.

⁷Will power means that whatever you do, either through your thoughts, words or actions, it should always be willed to the Father, that is, it should be offered to the Father.

⁸On the path of bhakti, whatever they do, whether they are eating or walking, they say for the sake of saying it, that it is offered to God.

⁹However, here, you understand that whatever you did, you willed it for the task of benefit of the Benefactor Father.

¹⁰If you continue to offer whatever you have, you will become a mirror of someone who is worthy of an offering.

¹¹The vision of the One to whom you offered something, the one for whom you offered it, is automatically received by everyone through such an offering.

¹²So the effort needed in order to offer something and to become a mirror is that you need will power and secondly, you need controlling power.

¹³You should be able to stabilise yourself, that is, your stage wherever you wish.

¹⁴It should not be that you sit to stabilise your stage in Baba's remembrance, but instead, you have wasteful thoughts or your stage fluctuates, or that you do not have any controlling power.

¹⁵In less than one second, you should be able to stabilise your thoughts wherever you wish.

¹⁶If you are not able to stabilise your own stage, how will you make others stabilise in the stage of soul consciousness?

¹⁷This is why you must constantly keep the awareness of your stage and status; only then will you be able to attain success in your qualifications.

¹⁸So what will you keep as the main thing for will power and controlling power, so that you imbibe both the powers?

¹⁹The method of making effort for both these powers is included in just one word for each.

²⁰For controlling power, constantly keep the great contrast (mahan antar) in front of you, and your intellect will automatically go towards that which is elevated; your intellect will not go towards that which is felt to be wasteful.

²¹Whatever actions you perform, if you continue to see the great contrast between pure and impure, truth and falsehood, the difference between awareness and forgetfullness, the difference between the wasteful and the powerful, then your intellect is automatically controlled.

²²And for will power, there is the great mantra (mahan mantra). ²³If you remember both the great contrast and the great mantra, then you never have to make effort to control your intellect.

²⁴This is easy.

²⁵First of all, check, that is, think of the contrast and then perform the action.

²⁶When you do not see the contrast but continue to move carelessly, you do not have the controlling power that you should have.

²⁷And with the great mantra, you will automatically have will power.

²⁸Because the great mantra is Baba's remembrance, that is, to constantly stabilise your intellect on Baba, on Baba's activities and Baba's virtues.

²⁹So by having the great mantra in the intellect, that is, by having the connection of the intellect with the Power House, you will have will power.

³⁰So you should remember both the great contrast and the great mantra and you will easily be able to imbibe both the powers.

³¹Keep the great contrast and the great mantra in your awareness, then use the eye of knowledge, and see how much success you have.

³²You were told what the activity of a swan is.

³³It constantly picks out the great contrast between stones and jewels.

³⁴In the same way, if you constantly remember the great contrast, then you automatically remember the great mantra.

³⁵When people come to know about something elevated, they automatically step away from the things that are of less value.

³⁶But by not remembering the contrast, you even forget the mantra, and you are not fully able to use the weapons of knowledge successfully.

³⁷So what will you do now?

³⁸Simply remember two words.

³⁹Be swans and continue to do that.

⁴⁰Do you understand?

⁴¹Just as you have three special relationships with BapDada; although you have all relationships, there are three main ones; in the same way, throughout the whole day, you should remember your own three main forms.

⁴²Just as there is childhood, young age, old age and then death, so this cycle continues all the time.

⁴³And so throughout the entire day, which three forms should you remember so that you are easily able to have remembrance and have greater success?

⁴⁴Just as you speak of the three forms of the Father, in the same way, what are your three forms?

⁴⁵When you wake up in the early morning hours of nectar, and stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance or have a heart-to- heart conversation, what is your form at that time?

⁴⁶That of a child and a master.

⁴⁷When you have a heart-to-heart conversation, you remember the form of a child, and when you become the embodiment of experience of the pilgrimage of remembrance, you have the form of being a master.

⁴⁸So at amrit vela, you have the form of a child and master.

⁴⁹Then, what form do you have?

⁵⁰That of a Godly student life.

⁵¹And then the third form is that of a server.

⁵²Do you continue to perform your activities whilst adopting all these three forms throughout the day?

⁵³You have these three forms, and then what form do you have at night?

⁵⁴At the end of the day, at the time of going to sleep, your stage is that of checking yourself and as well as that, you have the stage of going beyond sound.

⁵⁵Whilst stabilising yourself in that stage, you finish one day and begin the next day.
