Avyakt murli for Tuesday 11 July 1972

⁰> > Avyakt BapDada 11th July 1972 ¹Knowing the specialities of the present time, have you imbibed all the powers and made yourself a special soul?

²Just as you speak of the specialities of this time, in the same way, do you see those specialities in yourself?

³Are there as many specialities in the self(swayam) as there are of the time (samay) ?

⁴Or, is it that there are more specialities of the time and less of the self?

⁵How much difference do you think there is between the time and the self? ⁶Is there a difference?

⁷Are you powerful?

⁸Or is the time powerful?(“At present the time is powerful, though the self should be powerful.”)If you say “It should be this” then what is the difference between non gyani and weak souls of the world and you gyani souls - you master almighty authority souls?

⁹Even those people say, “It should be like this, it should be like that.” If you also say “It should be like this”, then, what is the difference?

¹⁰That is the difference between those who have knowledge and those who don’t: people say that it should be like this or that, whereas knowledgeable souls do not say this, but they demonstrate it practically.

¹¹Those people simply speak about it, whereas knowledgeable souls do it practically.

¹²That is the difference.

¹³They simply speak about it whereas you do it. ¹⁴If, you, even now, say “it should be like this”, then, what is the difference?

¹⁵Ask yourself: “what are the specialities of the time? ¹⁶And out of those specialities, what specialities do I lack in myself?

¹⁷If even one speciality is missing, would I be able to be in the list of those who are special souls?

¹⁸I would not, would I?” Make a list of the specialities of this time and you will be able to see many specialities.

¹⁹Out of those specialities, what is the elevated speciality of this time?

²⁰This is the time of the Confluence Age that we are passing through, is it not? ²¹It is the time to become elevated, but what is the greatness of this time that cannot exist at any other time?

²²The speciality of the Confluence Age is that every second of the Confluence Age is a sweet mela in which souls have a meeting with the Father.

²³No other age has this speciality, which you call the meeting of the Father and the children. ²⁴Do you constantly imbibe this speciality in yourself as you move along?

²⁵Just as every second of the Confluence Age is a mela, in the same way, do you experience yourself to be celebrating a meeting with the Father at every second?

²⁶Or, while moving along in this elevated mela, do you sometimes let go of BapDada’s hand and thereby deprive yourself of the mela and of celebrating a meeting?

²⁷Sometimes, some children get lost in a mela: they let go of their parents hand.

²⁸A mela is for celebrating with happiness.

²⁹If some children in a mela become separated from their parents - or they let go of their parent’s hand - then what attainment will they have?

³⁰Instead of happiness, they will become even more anxious.

³¹So, look at yourself: “Am I constantly experiencing the attainment of happiness in the mela? ³²Am I constantly celebrating a meeting?”

³³What would indicate those who are constantly celebrating in happiness?

³⁴What would their speciality be?

³⁵What would indicate those who stay in the super-sensuous joy of constantly celebrating a meeting?

³⁶What would their speciality be?

³⁷Those who are constantly absorbed in celebrating a meeting will never become caught up with any obstacle.

³⁸The meeting removes obstacles: such souls will be destroyers of obstacles.

³⁹A meeting is said to be with deep love.

⁴⁰If any type of obstacle comes, and you become influenced by the obstacle, then what does that signify?

⁴¹That you are not constantly celebrating a meeting.

⁴²You tell others to recognise the time and to take benefit of the time.

⁴³So, do you give this warning to yourself?

⁴⁴Or, do you simply give this warning to others?

⁴⁵When you give yourself this warning, then you are not able to stay away from a meeting for even one second.

⁴⁶You will celebrate a meeting at every second.

⁴⁷When a huge mela takes place, its’ time is fixed - “this mela is going to last for this long” - and then it finishes.

⁴⁸A huge mela takes place for a very short time, and so what would you do?

⁴⁹You would try to celebrate in that mela.

⁵⁰In the same way, if you do not celebrate the mela of the Confluence Age, will this mela take place at any other time?

⁵¹It is only in this short time that the mela(meeting) of the Father with the children takes place, so what should you do in this mela of a short time?

⁵²You should celebrate it every second.

⁵³So, while knowing of specialities of the time, imbibe those specialities in yourself, and you will automatically become elevated souls.

⁵⁴Everyone’s aim is to become an elevated soul, is it not?

⁵⁵While having the aim to become elevated souls, why are your efforts ordinary?

⁵⁶If your aim is elevated, then why are your qualifications those of an ordinary soul?

⁵⁷What is the reason for this?

⁵⁸You forget the aim.

⁵⁹How can those who keep an aim forget their aim?

⁶⁰Why is the power to find a solution to any problem lacking?

⁶¹What is the reason for this?

⁶²Why are you not able to find a solution?

⁶³Because of not finding a solution, you are not able to achieve the aim you have kept.

⁶⁴So, why is the power to find a solution lacking?

⁶⁵For those who are following shrimat: as is their aim, so will be their qualifications.

⁶⁶So, if your aim is elevated, and your qualifications are ordinary, then what is the reason for that?

⁶⁷It is because you are not able to find a solution to the obstacles.

⁶⁸What is the reason for not finding solutions?

⁶⁹Which power is missing?(“the power to discern”) That is right.

⁷⁰Until you are able to discern, you cannot find a solution.

⁷¹But if you are able to discern something, you will then be able to find a solution.

⁷²However, there is something missing in your being able to discern. ⁷³And why are you not able to discern?

⁷⁴It is because you are not free from negative thoughts.. because of having wasteful or negative thoughts in your intellects.. because your intellects are not clear. ⁷⁵You are not able to discern.

⁷⁶And, because of not being able to discern, you are not able to find a solution.

⁷⁷Because of not being able to find a solution, you become influenced by something else. ⁷⁸What is the easy method you have been given?

⁷⁹Just as you have a yardstick to recognise gold, and you can tell from that whether it is real gold or false, in the same way, what yardstick do you have in front of you in order to increase your power to discern?

⁸⁰The yardstick is sakar Baba’s every activity and character.

⁸¹Whatever actions you perform, and whatever thoughts you have, if you check yourself against this yardstick - as to whether they are accurate or not, whether they are wasteful or powerful - then, after checking yourself against this yardstick they will become easy and elevated.

⁸²Because you do not keep this yardstick with you, you find it takes effort.

⁸³You forget the easy method.

⁸⁴Because of this, you are unable to find liberation from obstacles.

⁸⁵What would happen if a goldsmith did not have a proper yardstick?

⁸⁶He would be deceived.

⁸⁷In the same way, if you don’t constantly have this yardstick with you, in your awareness, then you experience difficulty.

⁸⁸It is easy, is it not?

⁸⁹In that case, does it become difficult?

⁹⁰You do not use the method you have been given.

⁹¹If you use the method, then you will definitely have liberation.

⁹²Whether there are storms through thoughts - or whether there are storms or obstacles through any relationships, matter or problems - the reason for not experiencing liberation from those is that you don’t use the right method.

⁹³You have not become accurate in method(yuktiyukt) .

⁹⁴The more accurate you are in yoga (yogyukt)and in method(yuktiyukt) , the more you will definitely become liberated from all obstacles.

⁹⁵So, are you free from all obstacles? ⁹⁶Or do you get caught up with them?

⁹⁷It is because you do not remain accurate in yoga(yogyukt)that you become caught up with obstacles. ⁹⁸When you have any programmes - when you give lectures or explain to anyone - then what is the main thing that you tell everyone? “Liberation and liberation-in-life is your birthright.

⁹⁹So, since it is your birthright, then attain it!” Then you say: “If not now, then never!” So have you attained this main slogan of liberation and liberation-in-life as your birthright?

¹⁰⁰You have become the children, and yet not claimed the right?

¹⁰¹You explain to others: “As soon as you become a child, you claim a right to the inheritance”.

¹⁰²So, is this something that you just explain to others, or is it something to do practically?

¹⁰³It is a different matter to be worthy, but have you received the inheritance of liberation and liberation-in-life? ¹⁰⁴Have you attained it here?

¹⁰⁵Or, are you going to receive liberation in the land of liberation, and liberation-in-life in heaven? ¹⁰⁶You are going to receive it in the future anyway, but - together with the future - you haven’t received liberation and liberation- in-life at this time.

¹⁰⁷But, since you have found the Father at this time, you will receive the inheritance at this time too.

¹⁰⁸So, are you moving along on the assurance of the future?(“We have received a cheque”) Children are not given a cheque.

¹⁰⁹Children have a right to everything of the Father.

¹¹⁰Those who have a right are not given the assurance of a cheque.

¹¹¹The practical inheritance is received at this time.

¹¹²Liberation-in-life is experienced at the same time as being in bondage in life.

¹¹³There, there is no question of bondage in life. ¹¹⁴There you would simply be in the state of that reward.

¹¹⁵In the land of liberation you will not be able to have the experience of liberation there that you are able to experience now.

¹¹⁶So, do not think that you are going to receive a right to liberation and liberation-in-life in the future: no.

¹¹⁷Since you have become the children, you have also received your inheritance.

¹¹⁸However, there is then a number on how far you become obedient and faithful, and follow all instructions.

¹¹⁹You become one who has a right to the inheritance.

¹²⁰It depends on each one’s stage how you adopt that inheritance in your life and take the benefit of it.

¹²¹The Father does not make any difference in giving the inheritance.

¹²²The difference is created by your being worthy or unworthy.

¹²³This is why it is said: “You constantly attain your birthright by yourself”.

¹²⁴You should be constantly liberated, should you not?

¹²⁵Be free from the body and the relationships of the body, and also be free from the awareness of the old world.

¹²⁶Have you not become free?

¹²⁷If you experience the stage of liberation, then - after being liberated - you will automatically experience being liberated-in-life, because you are living your life.

¹²⁸You are a bodily being.

¹²⁹While living this life, you are free from the body, bodily relationships, and attractions of the old world. ¹³⁰This is called “the stage of being liberated-in-life”.

¹³¹So, you have to experience liberation and liberation-in-life at this time, and not in the future.

¹³²In the future, you will continue to receive the reward of the attainment of this time.

¹³³However, the attainment is to be experienced at this time first. ¹³⁴It is understood of the future that that is the reward of your elevated actions, but it is now that you perform the elevated actions.

¹³⁵So, the experience of attainment will also be at this time.

¹³⁶Do not simply keep yourself assured of the future.

¹³⁷Do not simply remain checking yourself, while keeping the check with yourself!

¹³⁸Do not do this. ¹³⁹Look at yourself: “To what extent am I moving along with the inheritance that I have received from the Father?” The Father has given it.

¹⁴⁰No one can snatch the inheritance away from someone who has a right to it.

¹⁴¹So, maintain the intoxication and faith that you have a right, simply check that you are not wasting somewhere the inheritance that you have received.

¹⁴²There are many children who receive a lot but who also lose a lot. ¹⁴³Because of losing it, although you do receive something, you still remain a beggar - because, while having a right, you become dependent.
