Avyakt murli for Sunday 29 May 1977

¹Obstructions in the speed of effort and their resolution. ²All the effort­makers are continuing their efforts according to their capacity. ³Seeing the speed of every effort­maker, BapDada knows which obstacle comes in front of them and how, with deep love, they become the destroyer of obstacles.

⁴Sometimes, they come to a standstill, sometimes they race ahead and sometimes they even take a high jump. ⁵However, why, when obstructions come, do you change from intense effort­makers to simply being effort­makers, and from the stage of ascent to a standstill?

⁶Instead of being a master and a master almighty authority, you become unhappy (udas) and servants (das).

⁷What is the reason for this? ⁸Many trivial things. ⁹As you were told the other day, the main thing is that most of you have many storms of waste thoughts.

¹⁰The cause of having waste thoughts is a lack of pure thoughts, pure ideas and the treasures of knowledge.

¹¹Even when you receive them, you don’t know how to use them or accumulate them. ¹²They don’t increase because you don’t know the right method of using them.

¹³To have heard the knowledge means to have received it, but at that time, you use it all up by experiencing temporary happiness and power.

¹⁴In a lokik way, you earn something and use it up; you use some of it and you throw some of it away.

¹⁵In the same way, you constantly experience yourself to be empty of the treasures of knowledge and powers because you lack the power to imbibe and are unable to be constantly powerful by using them with the right method.

¹⁶This is why you are not constantly able to remain cheerful.

¹⁷Because of being weak, you become influenced by the obstacles of Maya and you become a slave to Maya. ¹⁸As well as this, you become unhappy seeing other souls full.

¹⁹The main method of accumulating the treasure of knowledge; the treasure of the elevated time and increasing the physical treasures a hundred thousand­fold, is to have a clean and pure intellect and an honest heart.

²⁰The basis of having a pure intellect is to know the Father with the intellect and to surrender your intellect to the Father.

²¹To surrender means to finish the consciousness of “mine”. ²²Have you surrendered your intellect in this way? ²³To surrender a shudra intellect means to give it away.Together with giving it away, you also receive a divine intellect. ²⁴To give is to receive.

²⁵When you make a bargain, first you give something and then you receive something in return; you give money and you receive the goods.

²⁶In the same way, here too, to give is to receive.

²⁷First, you have to give everything. ²⁸How?

²⁹By having pure thoughts. ³⁰Everything belongs to the Father, it is not mine.

³¹To let go of your rights resulting from the consciousness of “mine” is known as surrender.

³²This is known as the stage of being free from attachment.

³³The reason for not being an embodiment of remembrance, for having waste thoughts and for becoming unhappy and a servant is that you are not free from being attached to the consciousness of “mine”.

³⁴There is a lot of expansion of the consciousness of “mine”.

³⁵BapDada also sees the clever games of the children, especially in giving to Baba.

³⁶You would give something to Baba one minute and take it back the next.

³⁷One minute, you would say through your lips that nothing belongs to you, and yet, in your mind, you would still be holding onto it as though you have a right.

³⁸To have this right means attachment.

³⁹Sometimes, you give something practically, but then take it back through words. ⁴⁰Your cleverness is that togetherwith the new, you also want to hold onto the old.

⁴¹You call yourself a trustee, but in practice, you are a householder.

⁴²The basis of finishing waste thoughts is to relinquish being a householder. ⁴³Whether you are a kumar or a kumari, to think in terms of “my nature”, “my sanskar”, “my intellect”, is the expansion of a householder.

⁴⁴When you have surrendered yourself, the Father’s nature is yournature; the Father’s sanskars are your sanskars.

⁴⁵Just as the Father’s intellect is divine, so your intellect should be the same.

⁴⁶It is impossible that there wouldn’t be remembrance when you have a divine intellect.

⁴⁷If you check your stage for just one hour, you will find that the basis of waste thoughts is one or another form of the consciousness of “mine”.

⁴⁸You were told that the indication of the consciousness of “mine” is attachment.

⁴⁹There are stages of attachment.

⁵⁰One is subtle attachment which can only be recognised by being stable in the subtle soul­conscious stage.

⁵¹The other is the gross form of attachment, which can be easily recognised. ⁵²There’s also a great deal of expansion of subtle attachment.

⁵³Without attachment, an intellect would not be attracted or subservient to anything.

⁵⁴So, the way to check for attachment is to see whether there is any subservience, whether it is in thoughts, words, deeds, relationships or connections.

⁵⁵Time will definitely be used in that even against your conscious wish.

⁵⁶This is why the main cause of waste thoughts is attachment.

⁵⁷Check this. ⁵⁸Things that you don’t wish for disturb you in the form of waste thoughts.

⁵⁹The cause of this is weakness in the form of the consciousness of “mine” in regard to your old sanskars and nature.

⁶⁰As long as you still have the consciousness of“my nature” or “my sanskars”, they will definitely pull you. ⁶¹When you, the creator, have the consciousness of, “my creation”, you will be pulled.

⁶²The creation in the form of “my nature and sanskars”, pulls the soul, the creator, towards it.

⁶³These are not “my” sanskars, but the sanskars of a shudra. ⁶⁴To say that the “sanskars of a shudra are my sanskars” is a great sin; it is stealing and cheating.

⁶⁵If Brahmins steal the property of shudras, that is, if you say that it is yours, that is a great sin.

⁶⁶Even to say, “Baba, all of this is Yours” and then consider it to be your own, is also cheating.

⁶⁷By committing sin in this way and thereby increasing the account of sin, you cannot keep your intellect stable in an elevated stage. ⁶⁸This is why you have to come down to the stage of waste thoughts time and again.

⁶⁹Then you cry out, “What can I do?” ⁷⁰The other reason for waste thoughts is that throughout the day, in your thoughts, words and deeds, you disobey shrimat in the form of maryadas that you have received from the Father.

⁷¹From being obedient, you become disobedient. ⁷²If you step outside the line of the code of conduct even in your thoughts, then it is possible that Ravan, in the form of waste thoughts, can attack you.

⁷³You should also check that you are not disobeying Brahmin ethics and systems in your thoughts, words, deeds, relations and connections.

⁷⁴You definitely have waste thoughts in your intellect when some ethics or systems are missing.

⁷⁵Do you understand the second reason?

⁷⁶This is why you should check yourself very carefully, for only then will you become free from waste thoughts. ⁷⁷Throughout the day, let the intellect remain busy in the pure activities the Father has given you to do. ⁷⁸The activity of the intellect is to have pure thoughts.

⁷⁹The activity of words is to speak the knowledge you have heard from the Father.

⁸⁰The activity of deeds is to perform every deed as a karma yogi, to live as lovingly and detached as a lotus, to reveal the Father’s elevated task through your every deed and to perform every deed as a divine act.

⁸¹Don’t be clever, but let it be a game, and that too, a wonderful, divine game. ⁸²The activity of coming into connection with others is just contact for namesake to enable them to make contact with the Father of All.

⁸³You will become free from waste thoughts byremaining busy in such pure activities. ⁸⁴People say that they want to be free from performing deeds, but Baba says: There will be freedom in performing pure activities.

⁸⁵This is not called being a householder; householders are separate.

⁸⁶To have pure activities is known as being a trustee, not a householder.

⁸⁷So, do you understand that the basis of freedom is pure activity? ⁸⁸Achcha. ⁸⁹To those who are constantly the most elevated beings following the highest code of conduct; to those who use all treasures in a worthwhile way; to the embodiments of success; to those who transform the wasteful into powerful; to such obedient children of Baba who constantly follow shrimat, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste. ⁹⁰BapDada meeting groups:

⁹¹The Shaktis will show their sparkle and the Pandavs will accompany them.

⁹²To keep the Shaktis in front is to be in front yourselves. ⁹³Your name will be glorified by keeping them in front.

⁹⁴The fortune of those who renounce something automatically accumulates. ⁹⁵Do the Shaktis have all their weapons?

⁹⁶You do not become tired of carrying your weapons, do you?

⁹⁷The Shaktis who have weapons are the ones who are worshipped. ⁹⁸So, are all of you worthy of being worshipped?

⁹⁹To be worthy of being worshipped means to have all your weapons.

¹⁰⁰When you let go of your weapons you are not worthy of being worshipped at that time.

¹⁰¹If you are not a Shakti, then you are weak. ¹⁰²Weak ones are not worshipped.

¹⁰³To be worthy of being worshipped means to be this at all times; it does notmean to be worthy of being worshipped sometimes and weak at other times. ¹⁰⁴Do you constantly have all your weapons? ¹⁰⁵When you consider yourself to be a householder, there is the web of a householder. ¹⁰⁶To be a householder means to be caught up in a web.

¹⁰⁷To be a trustee means to be free.

¹⁰⁸Constantly have the awareness that you are worthy of being worshipped.

¹⁰⁹No matter what type of situation comes in front of you, you remain happy by being victorious.

¹¹⁰Do you ever become upset with your children, etc.?

¹¹¹They are children, and children are those who do not understand.

¹¹²Children are those who are mischievous.

¹¹³Since they have a mischievous nature and do not understand, why do you become upset with them?

¹¹⁴You understand the secret that as they are children of the iron age, the impure creation, they will definitely be mischievous. ¹¹⁵As is the clay, so would be the clay pot.

¹¹⁶If the clay pot is hot, how could it be possible for the water it contains to remain cool?

¹¹⁷So, if you become upset, it means you are not knowledge­full; it means you haven’t understood the significance.

¹¹⁸If you are yogyukt when you give them teachings, they will be transformed. ¹¹⁹You mustn’t become upset.

¹²⁰Do you remain engaged in Baba’s remembrance and service throughout the day, through your thoughts, words and deeds?

¹²¹Every thought should be of Baba’s remembrance or service.

¹²²Remind others of Baba through your every word and give others the treasures you have received.

¹²³You have to reveal the divine activity of the Father through your activity.

¹²⁴So, do you constantly remain engaged in such remembrance and service?

¹²⁵Can Maya come to you if you keep yourselves busy in remembrance and service at all times?

¹²⁶When you forget remembrance and service, you open the gates for Maya to enter. ¹²⁷So, do not open these gates.

¹²⁸To be forgetful means to open the gate to Maya and to have remembrance means to apply a Godrej lock.

¹²⁹The awareness of remembrance and service is a double lock.

¹³⁰If you apply a double­lock, Maya can never come to you. ¹³¹If you only apply a lock of remembrance and not of service, then Maya can enter.

¹³²Brahmin life is remembrance and service.

¹³³Would you forget your task in life? ¹³⁴If you forget this, you are deceived by Maya.

¹³⁵By being deceived, you experience sorrow.

¹³⁶So constantly keep the double­lock locked. ¹³⁷Through this, you will constantly remain safe, happy and content.

¹³⁸Do you constantly consider yourself to be an elevated soul who takes every step according to shrimat?

¹³⁹Is your every step according to shrimat, or, is it also according to the dictates of your own mind?

¹⁴⁰Are you able to recognise this? ¹⁴¹What is the method to recognise this?

¹⁴²The method to recognise whether it is shrimat or manmat is that if it is shrimat, your mind will never become discontent; there will not be any type of upheaval in your mind.

¹⁴³By following shrimat, you will have natural happiness, just as you automatically experience internal happiness when you perform a good deed.

¹⁴⁴If you do something wrong, your conscience will definitely bite, even though you may not speak about it.

¹⁴⁵The mind of those who are following manmat will fluctuate.

¹⁴⁶Those who follow shrimat will be constantly light and happy.

¹⁴⁷From this, you can understand whether you are following shrimat or manmat.

¹⁴⁸This is your thermometer.

¹⁴⁹Whenever there is any fluctuation in your mind or the percentage of your happiness decreases, then check and you will find that there is definitely disobedience in following shrimat.

¹⁵⁰Constantly check and change. ¹⁵¹To check means to change.

¹⁵²You need both the powers of checking and changing.

¹⁵³If even one of these is missing, you will not be able to remain content. ¹⁵⁴Neither will you be content nor will you be able to make others content.

¹⁵⁵You will have the power to change when you have the power to tolerate.

¹⁵⁶When the line of the intellect is clear, you will have the power to recognise.

¹⁵⁷Blessing:May you be an easy yogi who experiences the jeevanmukt stage with the method of, “Just me and my Baba”.To be a Brahmin means to become free from the bondage of the body, relations and facilities.

¹⁵⁸Bodily relations are not related to you because of the body, but because of the soul.
