¹Do you consider yourselves to be both the loveliest and luckiest?

²If you consider yourselves to be lovely and lucky, you will constantly remain free from obstacles, and experience the stage of being absorbed in Baba's love.

³If you are just lucky and not lovely, then although you will constantly be absorbed in Baba's love, you will not have the experience of a stage that is free from obstacles.

⁴If you are just lovely and not lucky, then also, you will not be able to experience the stage that was just described.

⁵Therefore, both are needed.

⁶In order to attain the attainment of being lucky and lovely. ⁷Three main things are needed.

⁸If you experience these three things in yourself, then you are definitely lucky and lovely.

⁹What are those three things through which you can easily experience both these stages?

¹⁰Can luck be created or is it already created?

¹¹Can you make yourselves lucky, or is it that only those who are lucky from the beginning can be lucky?

¹²Can you create your luck or do you have to move along according to the luck already created?

¹³Can you change your fortune or not?

¹⁴Can you change from being unlucky to being lucky?

¹⁵Is there a margin for making effort in order to create luck? (yes).

¹⁶Have you come having already awakened your fortune or have you come to awaken your fortune?

¹⁷You have brought with you the fortune that is already awakened, have you not? ¹⁸Then what will you create?

¹⁹You have come to belong to Baba according to the fortune you have awakened; the question of fortune only arises in belonging to the Father. ²⁰You have come having created your fortune and you can also create it: is it like this?

²¹When you make a lot of effort for something, you have the thought inside that it is visible in your fortune.

²²If, after having made effort, you do not attain success, then you think that it is like that in your fortune. ²³What is the reason for not being successful?

²⁴If you make effort in your own way and yet do not attain success, what do you then say?

²⁵"It is fixed in the drama in this way". ²⁶So you have brought with yourselves the luck that the drama has created, have you not?

²⁷An effort­maker should never think, even after having made effort, that it is possible to be unsuccessful.

²⁸You should always think that whatever effort you have made can never go to waste.

²⁹If you have made effort in the right way, then you will definitely receive success through it, if not now, then at some later point.

³⁰Seeing the lack of success, you should think that that was a test. ³¹After having had the test, you will become stronger.

³²So that is not a lack of success, but a means to make the foundation of your effort strong. ³³When something has to be made strong, you first hammer its foundation.

³⁴You hammer it and make it strong.

³⁵The hammering is a means of making it strong. ³⁶Even in your own individual effort, within a gathering or in service, when something does not seem to be externally successful, you should still think that it is not a lack of success, but a means of becoming strong.

³⁷You were told that you should not consider the storms to be storms, but consider it to be a gift.

³⁸Waves come to a boat, but they are a means to make the boat move forward.

³⁹In this way, success is merged in the lack of success. ⁴⁰You should move forward with this understanding.

⁴¹The word, "unsuccessful" should not even entery our intellect, if your effort is correct.

⁴²Achcha, you were being told that three things are necessary in order to be lucky and lovely. ⁴³What are those three things?

⁴⁴First of all, think about how luck is created.

⁴⁵Look at yourself: Are you lucky and lovely?

⁴⁶Why are you notable to awaken your luck?

⁴⁷The main reason for this is that you are not knowledge­ full.

⁴⁸Those who are knowledge­ full have all types of knowledge.

⁴⁹The more knowledge­full someone is, the luckier he will be.

⁵⁰Because, with the light and might of knowledge, he would know the beginning, the middle and the end, and so whatever effort he makes, he would definitely attain success in that.

⁵¹To attain success is a sign of luck.

⁵²Firstly, they will be knowledge­full, that is, they will have full knowledge.

⁵³If something is lacking in your being full, then you are numberwise inbeing lucky also.

⁵⁴If you are knowledge­full, you will be number one in being lucky.

⁵⁵There is knowledge about karma and also knowledge about your Creator and the creation.

⁵⁶There is also knowledge about coming into connection with the family or with gyani souls.

⁵⁷Knowledge is not just knowledge about the Creator and the creation, but knowledge­full means that you are the embodiment of knowledge in every thought, every word and in every action.

⁵⁸This is called being knowledge­full.

⁵⁹Secondly, the extent to which you are knowledge­full, so you will also be careful.

⁶⁰The more careful you are, the sign of that is that you are cheerfulto the same extent.

⁶¹If someone is not cheerful, he will not appear to be lovely.

⁶²If someone is not careful either, then also, he will not seem lovely.

⁶³Those who do not remain careful, because of making one or another little mistake, either on their own, or when theycome into connection with others, then neither do they remain lovely to themselves nor are they lovely to others.Therefore, those who are careful will definitely be cheerful.

⁶⁴Do not think that those who are careful cannot remaincheerful because they are so absorbed in their effort. ⁶⁵It is not like that.

⁶⁶The sign of being careful is to remaincheerful.

⁶⁷So if you have all these three qualifications, then you can become both lucky and lovely.

⁶⁸You can alsocreate your luck with one another's co­operation.

⁶⁹However, you can only receive co­operation from one anotherwhen you are careful and cheerful.

⁷⁰If you are not cheerful, you will not be successful either.

⁷¹If you are careful andcheerful, then you are successful, that is, you are lucky.

⁷²So check these three things in your own self.

⁷³If you have allthree to a good percentage, then understand that you are the luckiest and the loveliest. ⁷⁴If this percentage is lacking,then you will not have this stage.

⁷⁵Now, do you understand what the sign is?

⁷⁶Speaking knowledge through your lipscannot create such an impact.

⁷⁷To constantly have a cheerful face and not to experience any waves of sorrow even inyour thoughts is known as being cheerful.

⁷⁸So you can do service with your cheerful face.

⁷⁹Just as metal isautomatically attracted towards a magnet, in the same way, those who are constantly cheerful become a magnetthemselves.

⁸⁰Seeing them, others will come close to them.

⁸¹They will think that this one constantly stays cheerful inspite of today's world, where there is constantly an environment of clouds of sorrow and peacelessness everywhere.They will be eager to know how and why this one is able to remain cheerful.

⁸²When there is a huge storm or a lot ofrain, then at that time, people, even against their wish, run towards some shelter where there is no rain.

⁸³The shelter­ place does not call them, but according to the atmosphere, there is a place of safety there, and so people will definitelyrun to that place.

⁸⁴In order to protect themselves, they take the support of that place; they are pulled there.

⁸⁵So, in thesame way, understand that, at the present time, when the storms of Maya and the clouds of sorrow are thundering, atsuch a time, when people see your means of safety, they will be attracted to you. ⁸⁶What is that external form thatattracts them?

⁸⁷A cheerful face. ⁸⁸So you should be both lovely and lucky.

⁸⁹In some cases, you are knowledge­full andcareful, but not cheerful.

⁹⁰You take care, but whilst caring, you stop having a cheerful face, and so you cannot remaincheerful.

⁹¹Therefore, in which aspect should you make the main effort or take the most care about, so that you areeasily able to bring about these three things in yourself? ⁹²Do you know that?

⁹³You have to remain careful, but whatmust you remain careful in mainly?

⁹⁴In what aspects do you remain careful? ⁹⁵(Many different replies were given.)What did Baba care about so that he became what he did?

⁹⁶What main aspect was that? ⁹⁷Describe fully the praise thatis sung of you people: complete with all virtues, sixteen celestial degrees complete, completely viceless and thosewho follow the highest code of conduct.

⁹⁸You only become careless when you disobey any of the codes of conduct.The praise is of your complete stage. ⁹⁹That is, Sita was given an instruction to remain within the line of the code ofconduct drawn for her.

¹⁰⁰It was not any other line, but the line of the code of conduct.

¹⁰¹If you go beyond the line ofGodly codes of conduct, you become a beggar, that is, you become a beggar of whatever attainment there is.

¹⁰²Youbecome a beggar, and you cry out just like a beggar does: "Give me a little money, give me some clothes".

¹⁰³In thesame way, the stage of those who go beyond the line of the code of conduct becomes like that of a beggar. ¹⁰⁴They would say: Have mercy, give me blessings, give me co­operation, give me love.

¹⁰⁵So it means that they havebecome beggars. ¹⁰⁶But when you have a right, then that is called being a child and a master.

¹⁰⁷If you are dependent, youhave to ask for something. ¹⁰⁸Those who are asking for something can only be called beggars.

¹⁰⁹So this is the line of thecodes of conduct, and if you go beyond it, you become a beggar.

¹¹⁰Then, you have to ask for help.

¹¹¹In fact, all thosewho have become Baba's children are lucky and lovely.

¹¹²They themselves are helpers in the Godly task, not the oneswho seek help.

¹¹³There is the image of you having become the helpers; it is not of the ones who are seeking help.

¹¹⁴Theimage of the bhagats is just that of asking for something. ¹¹⁵Those who are the children and the masters are constantlyhelpers.

¹¹⁶Those who themselves are the helpers cannot ask for any help.

¹¹⁷They are the ones who give, not the oneswho take. ¹¹⁸A bestower never takes, a bestower is one who gives.

¹¹⁹So consider yourself to belong to the one Father,that is, consider yourself to be the true Sita of Rama, and take the care to stay within the line of the code of conduct,and then you will remain careful. ¹²⁰Those who are careful will automatically become cheerful.

¹²¹So you should have allthe maryadas in your intellect.

¹²²You should have clear knowledge of what maryadas you have to have in all the actions you perform from morning tillnight. ¹²³If you do not have that knowledge, then you cannot be careful either.

¹²⁴Therefore, consider yourself to be Sitaand remain within this line.

¹²⁵That is, those who are careful and remain within the line of the code of conduct canbecome the most elevated human beings.

¹²⁶When you see that you are not cheerful, you must definitely have disobeyeda code of conduct. ¹²⁷You have also been given a maryada for your thoughts.

¹²⁸You must not even have any wastethoughts.

¹²⁹If you go beyond this line and have wasteful or sinful thoughts, then you should realise that you havedisobeyed the maryada of thoughts, and this is why you are not cheerful.

¹³⁰In the same way, you have been given amarayada for your words: of what words to speak whilst having stabilised yourself in a particular stage.

¹³¹If there isdisobedience in your words, then also, you cannot remain cheerful; your own wasteful and sinful thoughts bring youdown from your stage of being cheerful, because you have crossed the line of the code of conduct.

¹³²If you keepyourself within the line of the code of conduct, then Ravan, Maya, that is, no obstacle will have the courage to comewithin this line of the code of conduct.

¹³³When any obstacle, storm, disturbance or unhappiness comes, you shouldunderstand that you have moved the foot of your intellect outside the line of the code of conduct, just as Sita steppedbeyond the line.

¹³⁴The intellect is also a foot on which you go on the pilgrimage. ¹³⁵When you move the foot of theintellect out of the line of the code of conduct, then all these things come in front of you, and what do they make you?

¹³⁶From being lovely and lucky, you are made into a beggar. ¹³⁷The sign of becoming a beggar is that you will ask forsupport from the Father or other souls.

¹³⁸Your own treasure of the powers will finish.

¹³⁹It is said: To become a beggarby going beyond the line.

¹⁴⁰So the powerful stage of those who become beggars like this finishes. ¹⁴¹They may continueto speak knowledge and continue to make effort, but they will be like beggars.

¹⁴²They will not have the intoxication orpower of their own attainment.

¹⁴³On the path of bhakti also, there are those who become beggars by going out of line.So those who cross the line of the code of conduct become both types of beggar.
