¹Whilst having power, why isn't there the experience of success and contentment?

²Just as the Father is the Ocean of all virtues, in the same way, do you consider yourselves to be the master oceans?An ocean is imperishable, unshakeable and steady.

³Looking at an ocean, you would especially be reminded of twoparticular powers: the power to accommodate, and to the extent that you see the power to accommodate, accordingly,you will also see the power to face.

⁴It faces the waves and also accommodates any person or any object within itself.So, since you are master oceans, check within yourself to see to what extent you have these two powers.

⁵To whatpercentage do you have these powers?

⁶Are you able to use both the powers at the right time?

⁷Do you experiencesuccess through having these powers?

⁸Many children experience all the powers within themselves and also understand that they have these particularpowers within themselves.

⁹However, even whilst having these powers, in some cases, they are not able to experiencesuccess.

¹⁰Even whilst considering themselves to be the embodiments of knowledge, bliss, love, peace and happiness,they are not constantly content with themselves; even whilst being effort­makers, they are only sometimes able toexperience the practical fruit; the reward or the attainment.

¹¹They observe all the disciplines, but in spite of that, theydo not constantly experience themselves to be cheerful.

¹²They make a lot of effort, but they experience less fruit.Even in spite of making Maya their servant (dasi), they sometimes experience unhappiness (udasi).

¹³What is thereason for this?

¹⁴They have all the powers as well as the knowledge and they are even following all the disciplines; soin which aspect are they lacking that they become confused with themselves?

¹⁵The aspect that is missing is that they do not know how to use at the right time with the right method the powers andthe points of knowledge that they have attained.

¹⁶They have love for the Father, they also have love for knowledgeand a life that is complete with all divine virtues. ¹⁷However, together with that love (preet), they do not know themethod (reet), or, if they know the method, they don't know how to have love.

¹⁸Therefore, even something invaluablebecomes the basis of ordinary attainment.

¹⁹In a physical aspect, no matter how great a weapon may be or howvaluable a possession you may have, if you don't know how to use it, you are not able to receive the attainment youshould from that. ²⁰In the same way, knowledgeable children are not able to receive the attainment they should fromknowledge and the powers.

²¹BapDada feels mercy for such souls.

²²Because of not knowing the method, you are not able to receive the attainment that you should. ²³So how can youadopt the method?

²⁴For this, you need the power to discern.

²⁵Because you do not have the power to discern, you usethe power to face at a time when you are supposed to use the power to accommodate.

²⁶When you need to use thepower to pack up, you use the power to create expansion.

²⁷This is why, the thought may be of success, but you are notable to receive the attainment of success according to your thought.

²⁸What is the main basis of attaining a specialpower?

²⁹What do you need in order to strengthen your power of discernment?

³⁰If an instrument is not able to giveproper recognition of something, what is the reason for that?

³¹In order to increase your power of discernment, youneed to have the elevated stage of being incorporeal, egoless, viceless and free from sin.

³²If any one aspect out of thefour is lacking, then, due to not having this elevated dharna, there isn't that clarity.

³³Only that which is elevated isclear.

³⁴It is this confusion which doesn't allow the intellect to become clean.

³⁵Cleanliness is greatness.

³⁶Therefore,increase your power of discernment.

³⁷Only then will you be able to experience yourself to be a master ocean of allvirtues, the same as the Father.

³⁸Just as an ocean is full of many things, in the same way, experience your form to be complete with all powers,because it is only at the confluence age that you receive the blessing to become complete.

³⁹Apart from at theconfluence age, you will never be able to experience the complete stage.

⁴⁰The memorial of being complete with allvirtues is of your divine life. ⁴¹There is also the praise of being sixteen celestial degrees complete.

⁴²However, what isthe form of something that is complete?

⁴³Only in this Godly life is the knowledge and art of virtue experienced.

⁴⁴Thisis why it is only in this Godly life that you are able to experience the bliss of being complete.

⁴⁵In order to learn the method, whatever you keep on receiving from the Father, whether it is knowledge or powers,continue to use them according to the time.

⁴⁶Do not merge it within yourself thinking that it is a very good aspect, orsomething very good.

⁴⁷That is, do not lock it away in your intellect.

⁴⁸Do not just continue to accumulate a bankbalance. ⁴⁹Or, like elderly people, do not just keep a bundle of wealth hidden away.

⁵⁰Do not simply experience the blissof listening to it and possessing it, but continually use it for yourself and for all other souls, because according to theGodly principle, the more the attainment of the present time is used, the more it will increase. ⁵¹Just as for donation, itis said: "Wealth never finishes by giving it", that is, to give it means to increase it, in the same way, by experiencingthe Godly attainments in this way, there will not be little attainment, but instead, you will experience yourself to be anembodiment of all attainments.
