¹What is the easy method to remain cheerful?

²Which image is the memorial of remaining constantly cheerful - one in which they have shown the speciality of being cheerful?

³They show the image of Vishnu lying down.

⁴He is churning knowledge and is cheerful.

⁵They have shown this image especially as a memorial of being cheerful.

⁶Vishnu means the dual form.

⁷All of you are also the form of Vishnu.

⁸Are you also going to change from an ordinary man into Narayan, and from an ordinary woman into Lakshmi?

⁹Or will only the father become that? ¹⁰Both men and women - those who churn the knowledge - remain cheerful in this way.

¹¹So, what is the method to remain cheerful?

¹²To churn knowledge.

¹³To the extent that you churn knowledge, you accordingly remain cheerful.

¹⁴What is the reason for not churning knowledge?

¹⁵You engage yourself in churning waste.

¹⁶When there is wasteful churning, there cannot be the churning of knowledge.

¹⁷If you keep your intellect constantly engaged in the churning of knowledge, you will remain constantly cheerful, and there will not be any wasteful churning.

¹⁸In order to churn knowledge and constantly remain cheerful, you have received many treasures.

¹⁹Nowadays, when someone is very wealthy it is said that “that one has countless wealth”.

²⁰In the same way, are you able to count the treasures of knowledge that you have received?

²¹Since it is countless, then why do you let go of it?

²²It is only when you think that you lack something that it seems that you do not have that thing.

²³However, if you do not lack anything, then it cannot be that you do not have that thing.

²⁴Do you prefer those other things more than the treasures of knowledge?

²⁵Is it because you have developed that habit over a long period of time, that it happens even against your conscious wish?

²⁶So, how long is it since you started churning knowledge?

²⁷How much time is even one year of the Confluence Age equal to?

²⁸Even one year of the Confluence Age is very long.

²⁹If you look at it in this way, then this is something that you have been doing over a long period of time, is it not?

³⁰So, as that is a sanskar over a long period of time, and you remember it against your conscious wish, then why does this awareness of a long period of time not remain naturally in the same way?

³¹Whatever is new or fresh should remain in the awareness even more, because it is something of the present.

³²The other is something of the past.

³³This is something of the present, so why do you remember the past?

³⁴When you remember the past, do you also remember what the attainment was through that?

³⁵When there was no attainment of happiness through that, then why do you remember it?

³⁶Why do you remember it, when you have the result of it in front of you?

³⁷You also understand that it is wasteful, and that the result of something wasteful will also be wasteful.

³⁸When you understand that the result is wasteful, and yet you continue to do it practically, then what would you call that?

³⁹Weakness!

⁴⁰When you understand something and yet are not able to do it, that is called “being weak”.

⁴¹Are you still weak?

⁴²What is the sign of those who have authority?

⁴³They have willpower, and they are able to do anything they want - they are able to inspire anything they want to

⁴⁴happen. ⁴⁵This is why it is said that “that one has authority”.

⁴⁶Have you not yet attained the authority that the Father has given?

⁴⁷Are you master almighty authorities?

⁴⁸Almighty means being one with all powers.

⁴⁹Can you call someone who has almighty authority - who understands everything and yet is not able to do it - one with almighty authority?

⁵⁰You forget who you are. ⁵¹This is your position.

⁵²So, do you forget your own self?

⁵³Do you forget the real self and become artificial?

⁵⁴Nowadays, it is the fashion to make one’s image artificial.

⁵⁵They put on one type of decoration or another, through which the reality is hidden.

⁵⁶This is known as artificial and devilish decoration.

⁵⁷In fact, the people of Bharat are still satoguni in comparison with all other souls.

⁵⁸However, by making an artificial form - by putting on artificial make-up - they are making themselves more and more devilish day by day.

⁵⁹Now, you should not forget the reality.

⁶⁰By forgetting the reality you develop devilish sanskars.

⁶¹In a lokik way, too, no one has the courage to go in front of someone who is very powerful.

⁶²If you stabilised yourself in the position of an almighty authority, could those devilish or wasteful sanskars have the courage to come in front of you?

⁶³Why do you come down from your position?

⁶⁴The real sanskar of the Confluence Age is in those who constantly receive and give knowledge: they constantly have knowledge in their awareness and they remain constantly cheerful.

⁶⁵The special sanskar of Brahmin life is that of remaining cheerful.

⁶⁶So, why do you become distant from that?

⁶⁷Do you ever renounce something that is your own?

⁶⁸This is your possession of the Confluence Age, whereas defects belong to Maya.

⁶⁹You have taken those by keeping bad company.

⁷⁰Your own possessions are divine virtues.

⁷¹You let go of your own possessions.

⁷²Do you not know how to look after them?

⁷³Do you know how to look after your home? ⁷⁴You know how to look after all the limited things: the home, the children, and so on.

⁷⁵So, do you not know how to look after the unlimited things?

⁷⁶Have you completely turned your back on limited things, or do you still have a few of them left?

⁷⁷Just as Sita turns her back on Ravan, in the same way, have you turned your back on limited things?

⁷⁸Later, you will not go in front of them, will you? ⁷⁹In that case you would go back and say: “What can we do?” At the present - because of being in the unlimited home - you have unlimited intoxication.
