Avyakt murli for Wednesday 9 January 1980

⁰> > 09-01-80 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Your subtle dress and subtle adornment.

²Today, whilst BapDada was especially watching the entertaining games of you children, He became amused and smiled.

³What game were you playing?

⁴BapDada has given all you residents of the most elevated confluence age whose life is as valuable as a diamond, you most elevated children of BapDada, you Godly children, you elevated souls of the Brahmin clan, you long­lost and now­found children of the confluence age, a variety of dresses with matching jewellery and also an elevated seat on which to sit so that each of you can dress and adorn yourself according to the time.

⁵In the golden age, you change into different dresses and wear different ornaments, but it is at this time that you have to fill yourselves with the sanskaras of the different dresses and jewellery with which Brahma Baba has adorned you Brahmin children.

⁶However, it was entertaining to see that even though you have such beautiful dresses and adornment, some children still put on their dirty old dress.

⁷Do you know what your dress and adornment for amrit vela are?

⁸Do you know what your dress and adornment for the whole day are?

⁹You children have been given a variety of titles by BapDada.

¹⁰You have a different set of dresses for the stage of each title and also different sets of adornment for the different virtues.

¹¹How many varieties of dresses and sets of adornment do you have?

¹²You should constantly remain seated on your decorated seat according to the type of dress you wear and the type of sets of adornment you use.

¹³Count how many dresses you have. ¹⁴To stabilise in the stage of that title means to wear that dress.

¹⁵Sometimes wear the dress of a world benefactor, sometimes of a master almighty authority and sometimes of a spinner of the discus of self­ realisation.

¹⁶Wear your dress according to your task and time.

¹⁷As well as this, also adorn yourself with the virtues accordingly.

¹⁸Put on your different sets of jewellery.

¹⁹Wear the jewellery on your wrists, around your neck, on your ears and on your forehead.

²⁰On your forehead, have the awareness of being an embodiment of bliss.

²¹This is the chindi (ornament similar to a tilak, but with a chain attached to it) Through your lips, constantly speak of things that give the experience of bliss. ²²This is the necklace to wear around your neck.

²³On your wrists, that is, whilst working, do so in the stage of bliss. ²⁴These are the bracelets on your wrists.

²⁵With your ears, constantly listen to things that make you an embodiment of bliss. ²⁶These are your ear­ rings. ²⁷Your feet should be dancing in service towards becoming an embodiment of bliss.

²⁸That is, every step you take should be towards becoming an embodiment of bliss and making others the same.

²⁹This is the adornment of your feet.

³⁰Now, have you understood this set of virtues? ³¹Have you worn the complete set?

³²Similarly, you must wear different sets at different times.

³³You know how to wear this set, do you not?

³⁴Or is it that when you put on your ear­rings, you leave off your necklace?

³⁵Nowadays, people usually wear the whole set.

³⁶So, you have such a set of elevated jewellery , do you not? ³⁷Then why don’t you use it?

³⁸Why don’t you wear it?

³⁹Why do you leave off all of your various beautiful dresses and put on a dress covered with the mud of body consciousness instead?

⁴⁰Today, Baba was watching the competition of your dress and adornments and seeing which children remained constantly adorned throughout the day and which children stayed busy in putting on and taking off their dress.

⁴¹One moment they would put on one dress, and the next moment, they would take that dress off and put on a dress of a lower quality.

⁴²They were unable to keep a top quality beautiful dress on for a long time.

⁴³So what did Baba see?

⁴⁴Some children even put on a bad­smelling dress. ⁴⁵What bad smell did it have?

⁴⁶They put on the dress that had the bad smell of attachment to their bodily relations and physical objects.

⁴⁷This bad smell could be smelt from far away. ⁴⁸Some put on a dress of dirty skin.

⁴⁹They put on a criminal eye dress of looking at the skin.

⁵⁰Some children wore a dress of such dirty skin!

⁵¹Others wore a dress stained with dirty marks.

⁵²Dirty marks means to see the defects of others and imbibe them. ⁵³There were also some dresses that were very badly stained.

⁵⁴The dresses of some were even badly stained with blood. ⁵⁵Why were they stained with blood? ⁵⁶To commit sin repeatedly means to commit suicide of the soul.

⁵⁷Some souls were even wearing the dress through which they committed suicide of their elevated stage.

⁵⁸Now just think about how vast the difference is between the dresses of your elevated titles and those dirty dresses! ⁵⁹Elevated souls should be wearing top quality dresses.

⁶⁰So what did Baba see? ⁶¹Some children wore that elevated dress throughout the day, and also wore their full set of jewellery and remained seated on their seat very well.

⁶²However, there were some who were not able to wear the beautiful dress that was put in front of them even though they wanted to.

⁶³So, from amrit vela, throughout the whole day, you must wear your set of elevated jewellery.

⁶⁴Constantly wear your dress of elevated titles and adorn yourself with virtues.

⁶⁵Then, just as in the golden age the maids carry the train of the dress of the world emperor and world empress, so now, when you stabilise in your stage of dress of the titles “Conquerors of Maya” and “Confluence­aged Self­sovereigns”, then the five elements and the five vices will carry the train of your dress; they will be subservient to you.

⁶⁶Visualize the scene of Ravan’s ten heads becoming your servants and following you conquerors of Maya. ⁶⁷However, when your dress is just tight (perfect fit) and your train is long and loose, then these ten servants will follow you carrying your train.

⁶⁸The kings and queens of today who also wear long robes so that the servants can carry their trains.

⁶⁹If the robes are not long all the time, or you are not tight (strict) with your titles, then those same servants will take your dress off you, because it will be loose.

⁷⁰Now, make your dress tight (fit you perfectly) with determination.

⁷¹Determination is your belt.

⁷²Tighten the belt of your dress with this determination and you will always be safe; your servants will always be dependent on you.

⁷³You were told earlier of how the vices will be transformed and become your co­operative servants.

⁷⁴So, you now know what dress you have to wear, and also how to keep it tight. ⁷⁵Wear whatever dress you want at any time, but don’t wear a dirty dress.

⁷⁶Take the benefit of the variety of dresses and matching jewellery. ⁷⁷Brahma Baba and BapDada have given you the dowry of the confluence age.

⁷⁸Although you have made a love­match, you will still receive your dowry.

⁷⁹Your dowry is your beautiful dresses and sets of matching jewellery. ⁸⁰Don’t put aside your dowry that BapDada has given you and put on the clothes of your previous dowry.

⁸¹Some children not only accept the dowry that BapDada gives them, but also keep their old dress hidden away somewhere to wear sometimes.

⁸²When your old attachment pulls you, you put on that old dress.

⁸³You put aside your very precious dress and put on a torn dress.

⁸⁴Don’t do this any more!

⁸⁵If you are still keeping something hidden away, then burn it!

⁸⁶And, having burnt it, don’t even keep the ashes!

⁸⁷Throw away the ashes in the ocean and you will remain constantly adorned, and seated on BapDada’s heart­throne.

⁸⁸If you get off your throne (takht), you would be hung on the gallows (fansi ka takhta); sometimes of greed and sometimes of attachment.

⁸⁹So let go of the gallows and remain seated on the heart­throne.

⁹⁰You have been keeping your dowry safe, have you not?

⁹¹So now use it!

⁹²Don’t just keep your dowry to one side.

⁹³Don’t just keep looking at it and thinking how very good it is, but use it and claim the first number in this dress competition. ⁹⁴You have been told that you claim a number by doing something constantly.

⁹⁵Everyone knows how to wear a dress, but not everyone knows how to keep their dress in a constant tip­top condition. ⁹⁶Your number is dependent on your being constantly adorned.

⁹⁷Will the foreigners or the people of Bharat come first in this competition? ⁹⁸You can all claim as much as you want.

⁹⁹Outside, only one person in a competition can claim the first prize, whereas here, many people can claim the first prize.

¹⁰⁰Here, the treasure is limitless and so all of those who come in the first division will receive a first prize.

¹⁰¹Achcha, what are you going to do from tomorrow?

¹⁰²Throughout the whole day, from amrit vela, remain with the Father, and wear your various dresses and remain adorned with your various sets of matching jewellery.

¹⁰³From amrit vela onwards, wear your dress of the first number.

¹⁰⁴Baba is only going to take such beautifully adorned brides back with Him; He is not going to take anyone else.

¹⁰⁵Those who come first in this competition of remaining with the Father will return home with the Father. ¹⁰⁶Those who don’t remain with the Father will not return home with the Father either.

¹⁰⁷So, constantly remember this slogan; constantly keep this tilak on you: “I will remain with You and return home with You.”

¹⁰⁸You know how much someone can enjoy a competition.

¹⁰⁹Baba shows this competition to Brahma Baba in the subtle region.

¹¹⁰Because Brahma Baba remembers you children, Baba shows him what state you children are in.

¹¹¹To such constantly adorned idols; to the great souls who understand how important their elevated life of the confluence age is; to those who transform their enemies into their co­ operative servants; to such master almighty authorities, who constantly stay in the subtle combined form of the self and the Father; to such supremely worshipful and praiseworthy souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste. ¹¹²BapDada’s sweet elevated versions for the serviceable children:

¹¹³The praise of you serviceable children is very great, because you become equal to the Father.

¹¹⁴Baba comes to serve you children.

¹¹⁵You are also instruments, and so you have become equal to Baba.
