¹The two powers necessary in order to oppose Maya’s attack.

²BapDada is seeing the result of the speed of effort of all the children. ³Whilst seeing the speed of effort of the new and the old children, as well as having a lot of love for them, Baba also felt a lot of mercy.

⁴Why did He feel that love? ⁵Because, whether they were young or old, as soon as they received the introduction, on the basis of what they attained according to their capacity, they experienced a great difference between their past life and their present Brahmin life.

⁶Having found a destination from their wandering, having faith in the intellect, with one another’s co­operation and the support of one another’s experience, they started to move towards their destination. ⁷Because of experiencing happiness, power, peace and joy, they weren’t concerned about public opinion, but the experience of the alokik life was enabling them to move forward. ⁸Compared to what they attained, they didn’t have the slightest consciousness of anything they were renouncing.

⁹With the deep intoxication of having found everything because of having found the Father, they didn’t feel their renunciation to be renunciation, but became engaged in remembrance and service with their body, mind and wealth.

¹⁰The first intoxication, the first happiness, the first zeal and enthusiasm they experienced was very lovely and unique.

¹¹This renunciation, the intoxication of first coming to Baba, and the first force of the trikaldarshi stage, of being a master ocean of knowledge and a master almighty authority, in which there is no other awareness, made them experience everything of the old world to be impure and tasteless. ¹²Seeing this first stage of everyone, Baba felt a lot of love for them because each one had made so much effort to renounce everything, and were continuing to move along with a lot of love for the Father.

¹³BapDada surrendered everything, including all His wealth, to such children who were embodiments of renunciation, embodiments of knowledge and who had faith in the intellect.

¹⁴Just as children had the thought, “Baba, I now belong to You”, so too, Baba said in return, “Child, whatever belongs to the Father is yours”.

¹⁵Children claim this right, but what happens afterwards?

¹⁶As you are moving along, when you become a Mahavir, that is, when you become a warrior, and begin to challenge Maya, and consider it your right to be victorious, there are two things you lack and so are unable to oppose the different attacks of Maya.

¹⁷What two things are lacking? ¹⁸One is the power to face and the second is the power to discriminate and decide. ¹⁹Because you lack these two powers, you are sometimes victorious and sometimes defeated by the different attacks of Maya. ²⁰Therefore, you sometimes become aggressive and sometimes you have the right consciousness.

²¹What is the reason for you lacking the power to face?

²²You do not know how to make Baba your constant Companion. ²³You do not know the method to seek His Company.

²⁴The easy method is the stage of being one with all rights. ²⁵This is why, when Maya sees that you are weak, she attacks you.

²⁶What is the reason for not having the power to discern?

²⁷There isn’t stability in the intellect. ²⁸There is the upheaval of waste or impure thoughts.

²⁹There isn’t the constantly stable stage of taking the sweetness of all relationships with One.

³⁰By having a variety, the intellect and stage constantly fluctuate.

³¹Because of this, the power to discern is reduced, and because you are unable to discern, Maya makes you her customer.

³²Then you are not even able to recognise that it is Maya.

³³You are not able to realise that something is wrong.

³⁴Instead, you become a firm customer or companion of Maya and you give your wisdom to Baba or the instruments and tell them: This happens all the time; all of this will continue to happen until we become complete.

³⁵In this way, you become Maya’s lawyer and put forward many different points of this nature to Baba and the instruments, because, when you become Maya’s companion, you become part of the opposition party. ³⁶You give up the position of being a conqueror of Maya.

³⁷What is the reason for this? ³⁸You lack the power to discern. ³⁹Baba receives many such wonderful and entertaining cases, and the points put forward are also very good.

⁴⁰Because your backbone is Maya, you create many new inventions. ⁴¹When BapDada sees this stage of the children, He feels mercy for them.

⁴²Baba is teaching you and yet what do you do because of making a small mistake?

⁴³The little mistake is that you mix the dictates of your own mind with shrimat. ⁴⁴What is the foundation of that?

⁴⁵Carelessness, laziness and being attracted by many types of Maya’s attraction.

⁴⁶You lack the total power needed to become a conqueror of Maya and this is why the first zeal and enthusiasm reduces as you move along.

⁴⁷You then stop making effort and think “What can I do? ⁴⁸For how long will I be able to continue this? ⁴⁹I wasn’t aware of this”. ⁵⁰You then become caught in the spinning of such waste thoughts.

⁵¹However, all these things are side­ scenes, that is, the scenes along the path; they are not the destination.

⁵²You have to cross them and not stop there considering them to be the destination.

⁵³Some children consider this to be the destination, that is, they think such is their part or that such is their fortune: They consider the scenes along the path to be the destination and become distant from the true destination.

⁵⁴In order to reach a high destination, you first have to experience storms; in order for a steamer to cross an ocean, it has to go through the middle of it.

⁵⁵Therefore, do not become afraid very quickly; do not become tired; do not come to a standstill.

⁵⁶Keep your Companion with you and every difficulty will become easy. ⁵⁷Become courageous and you will definitely receive help.
