²How to be one who uplifts others.

³Today, seeing the spiritual flower-garden, that is, seeing the gathering of the children who are constant roses, BapDada is seeing the specialities of each of those children.

⁴There are three varieties of specialities.One is of those who are constantly stable in their stage of spirituality, that is, they are in constant bloom. ⁵The second variety is of those who, according to their stage of spirituality, are not in constant bloom, but, because of being embodiments of faith, their beauty is very good.

⁶The third variety is of those who, on the basis of their love for and their relationship with the Father, are in half bloom and are filled with the fragrance of love and relationship.

⁷Seeing the flower garden of the three varieties of roses, BapDada constantly takes its fragrance.

⁸Now, look at your own self: Who am I?

⁹Whatever is still missing in becomingnumber one,fill that gap and become full because the children of the perfect Father also have to be full and perfect, the same as the Father.

¹⁰Each child’s aim is to become full and perfect, and so, fill yourself with all qualifications for that aim and become complete. ¹¹You have already been told about the special dharna to have for this: To be constantly Brahma-chari, that is, one who is constantly celibate and who also constantly uplifts others.

¹²The definition of being one who uplifts others is easy and also very deep: One who uplifts others constantly sees other souls as embodiments of virtues, the same as the Father.

¹³When seeing the weaknesses or defects of anyone, one who uplifts others will see that defect with good wishes and feelings of co-operation and will donate power to make that soul virtuous.

¹⁴One who uplifts others means to be one who constantly donates his own treasures to all souls and to be a bestower, the same as the Father.

¹⁵One who uplifts others will constantly experience the self to be full of all treasures and an emperor of Begumpur (the land that is without sorrow).

¹⁶Begampur means the place where there is no sorrow.

¹⁷Let there not be any sanskars of sorrow experienced even in your thoughts.

¹⁸Those who uplift others means to be those who constantly continue to donate especially through their minds, that is, with the power of thought, with the power of words, with the colour of their company, with the love of their relationship and with the infinite treasure of happiness.

¹⁹Any soul who comes into connection with them should go back having become filled with the treasure of happiness.

²⁰They will be such constant donors.

²¹They are not those who donate specifically through their time and connection, that is, they will not be donors for only certain souls but will be constantly great donors for all.

²²Because those who uplift others are constantly full, they would not have the desire to give to others only after receiving something from them.

²³They would never even have the thought that they will do something when that one does it: “I will change when the other one changes.

²⁴That one should change a little and then I will change a little. ²⁵That soul should transform himself in one thing and I will then transform myself in ten things”.

²⁶Those who have such feelings cannot be those who uplift others. ²⁷Instead of being great donors, they become businessmen who constantly make deals. “When that one gives this much, I will give this much.” “Am I the one who constantly has to bow down? ²⁸Do I constantly have to give?

²⁹For how long and till when will I have to continue to do this”?

³⁰These cannot be the thoughts of those who give. ³¹When many other souls are influenced by their weaknesses and are under some external control, influenced by their sanskars and nature or by the facilities of matter, then at that time, souls who are influenced in this way, that is, souls who are at that time beggar souls - “beggar means those who are powerless” – they are empty of any treasure of powers.

³²6. A great donor cannot have any desire to receive even one new paisa from a beggar. “If this one changes, if this one does this, if this one gives co-operation or takes a step forward”. ³³How can one have such thoughts or expect co-operation from such souls who are influenced, powerless and beggar souls?

³⁴First to take something and then to give: that is not being one who uplifts others.One who uplifts others means to be one who makes beggar souls prosperous; one who has mercy on those who defames others; one who embraces even those who insult him. ³⁵Those who, with their pure feelings for uplifting others, with their love, power, sweet words and co-operation of zeal and enthusiasm make disheartened souls powerful, that is, they make beggar souls into emperors.

³⁶Because those who uplift others are trikaldarshi, they keep the perfect co-operation of souls in front of them. ³⁷While discerning the weaknesses of all souls, they do not imbibe those weaknesses in themselves; they do not speak about them, but with their benevolent forms, they finish any thorn of weakness in those souls.

³⁸They replace thorns by making thorns into flowers.

³⁹Those who uplift others in this way would be constantly content, like jewels of contentment and would also make everyone else content.

⁴⁰The wonder is that they would createhopein those who have becomehopeless.

⁴¹For those with whom everyone else is disheartened, they would ignite lamps of hope for those people who are in such a state.

⁴²Since your non-living images are even now still fulfilling the temporary desires of many souls, then, in the living form, if any co-operative brother or sister from the family, through their misunderstanding or childish stubbornness, considers something temporary to be a permanent attainment or has a desire for temporary name, respect and honour or some temporary attainment, then to give respect to others and for the self to become humble is to uplift others.

⁴³To give in this way is to receive for all time.

⁴⁴For example, an ignorant child will consider something that may cause harm to be a toy and so you have to give him something else in order for him to let go of that. ⁴⁵Through stubbornness, there would be harm for all time. ⁴⁶At that time, souls who do not understand would consider some temporary attainment, that is, something that causes harm all the time to be something that would benefit them.
