Avyakt murli for Friday 3 April 1981

⁰> > 03-04-81 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The path of bhakti is the memorial of those on the path of knowledge

²What meeting is now taking place in Madhuban?

³Today is the meeting of the many rivers with the Ocean.

⁴Each small and large river of knowledge is a purifier, like the Father.

⁵Baba is looking at His service companions, the purifying rivers, who left this land and went abroad.

⁶The souls of this land and abroad have been purified and are singing many songs of praise.

⁷The songs that are now in the mind will in the copper age become the songs sang through their lips.

⁸The songs of praise that Baba now sings is of the elevated task and the elevated life of you elevated souls.

⁹Later, on the path of bhakti, this song will be remembered in the form of devotional songs.

¹⁰Now, because all of you souls experience the attainment of supersensuous happiness, you souls are dancing in your mind, then on the path of bhakti you will be dancing with your feet.

¹¹You now turn the beads of the rosary of the virtues of elevated souls and speak of their virtues. ¹²Later on the path of bhakti, they will turn the beads of the physical rosary of you.

¹³You now offer bhog to the Father and in return people on the path of bhakti will offer bhog to all of you.

¹⁴Just as you don’t accept anything without first offering it to Baba, similarly, people on the path of bhakti will not accept anything without first offering it to you deity souls. ¹⁵Just as, at present, you put Baba first and then yourself, so they will put you deities first and themselves afterwards.

¹⁶They copy everything that you do.

¹⁷You become embodiments of remembrance and they become embodiments of the remembrance of the memorial of that.

¹⁸You are all constantly unadulterated, that is, you constantly stay in the remembrance of One, so that no one can shake you or make you change in a negative way. ¹⁹Similarly, your intense devotees, your true devotees, your first devotees have an intellect that has very strong faith in you, their special deities. ²⁰Their faith in you is unshakeable and unbreakable.

²¹Even if devotees of Hanuman were to attain Rama, they would still remain devotees of Hanuman.

²²They have such strong faith.

²³They copy you in the way you have one strength and one support.

²⁴It is at this time that all of you become spiritual pilgrims.

²⁵Your pilgrimage is of remembrance of God and their pilgrimage is in memory of you.

²⁶At present, all of you walk around the pillars of the tower of knowledge and peace in order to read the elevated versions and teachings of becoming an embodiment of remembrance, and you also make everyone else walk around it.

²⁷You walk around the tower to read the teachings written on the tower; you don’t miss any side of the tower.

²⁸When you have been around of all four sides the tower, you feel that you have seen and experienced everything.

²⁹Later on, in memory of this, devotees go around all of you idols.

³⁰Until they have gone around those idols, they wouldn’t feel that their worshipping is complete.

³¹On the path of bhakti they copy in a physical way every subtle action and virtue of all of you.

³²This is why BapDada constantly advises all of you deity souls to keep firm faith in One in your intellect.

³³If you don’t stay in constant and stable remembrance of One at this time, if you don’t concentrate on One, if you don’t remain unshakeable, then your devotees cannot have an intellect with strong faith in you.

³⁴If the foot of your intellect wanders here and there, later the feet of your devotees would stumble around.

³⁵Sometimes, they would consider one idol to be their deity and sometimes another idol. ³⁶Today, they would be devotees of Rama and tomorrow, they would be devotees of Krishna.

³⁷If you don’t now have the stage of experiencing all attainments from One, then your devotee souls would be wandering around from one deity to another, for some attainment. ³⁸When you move away from your elevated honour now, your devotees will later on also become distressed and leave you.

³⁹Just as now, instead of having subtle experiences through remembrance, you complain because of the lack of attainment due to your weaknesses.

⁴⁰Either you complain of being disheartened or you complain out of love.

⁴¹Therefore, your devotees too will constantly complain.

⁴²Each of you knows all the complaints very well and therefore Baba is not going to tell you about them.

⁴³Baba says: Be merciful and constantly have feelings of mercy!

⁴⁴However, instead of mercy, you sometimes have arrogance or doubt. ⁴⁵The same thing happens with your devotees.

⁴⁶To have doubt means “Should I do this?

⁴⁷Will be it like this? ⁴⁸Should it not be like this?” ⁴⁹In this too, they forget mercy.

⁵⁰Be merciful to yourself and to others. ⁵¹You have doubt in yourself and also in others.

⁵²If your illness of doubt increases, it becomes like a cancer.

⁵³Those who are still in the first stage of cancer can be cured, but it is difficult to cure those in their last stage.

⁵⁴They are neither able to stay alive nor are able to die.

⁵⁵Here too, they are neither totally ignorant nor are they totally knowledgeable.

⁵⁶Their sign is that they constantly chant the same slogan. ⁵⁷For themselves, they say “This is how I am”. ⁵⁸And, for others they say “This one is always like that.”

⁵⁹No matter how much they try to change themselves, they will still chant the same thing.

⁶⁰Cancer patients may appear to eat and drink very well.

⁶¹Externally they would look very well and strong, but internally, they would be powerless.

⁶²Similarly, those who have the illness of doubt would externally conduct themselves very well.

⁶³Externally, they would be appear to lack of nothing. ⁶⁴They wouldn’t even accept it if they were told that something was lacking.

⁶⁵However, internally, because such souls would be very discontented, their attainment of happiness and power would very weak.

⁶⁶There is also a similar illness of arrogance.

⁶⁷The sign of being merciful is that you would have one Baba and none other in your every word and thought.

⁶⁸Wherever they look those who are merciful will constantly see the Father, whereas wherever those who have arrogance look will only see themselves!.

⁶⁹Those with arrogance will be turning the rosary of “I, I”, whereas those with mercy will be turning the rosary of the Father. ⁷⁰Their consciousness of “Me” will be merged in the Father.

⁷¹This is what it means to be absorbed in the love for Father.

⁷²This type of soul is merged in the Father’s love and the other type of soul is merged in the consciousness of “Me”. ⁷³You are master gods for your devotees.

⁷⁴You are the father of the people in the golden and silver ages and at the confluence age, you are the images of support who reveal BapDada’s name and His task. ⁷⁵You can either glorify Baba’s name with your elevated actions and your transformation, or you can defame Baba’s name with your wasteful actions and ordinary behaviour.

⁷⁶Children, it is all in your hands!

⁷⁷At the time of destruction, you will be in your form of great benefactors, the great bestowers of blessings, and great donors, the greatly charitable souls for the whole world.

⁷⁸Therefore, you are very elevated at all times.

⁷⁹You are images of support during this whole time.

⁸⁰Do each of you consider yourself to be this? ⁸¹Do you know your own biography from the beginning, through middle to the end?

⁸²You are not alone, there are many others behind you who are copying you.

⁸³Therefore, constantly pay attention to every action you perform.

⁸⁴To those who are great in all three aspects of time, to those who are embodiments of power and who remain in remembrance of the Father, to those who are merciful, to those who are constant embodiments and bestowers of attainment, to souls who are complete like the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

⁸⁵Baba meeting a group of teachers: ⁸⁶The practical form of a teacher is that of being a constant server. ⁸⁷You all know this very well.

⁸⁸What is the speciality of a server?

⁸⁹How does the server become successful?

⁹⁰The speciality of a server who is constantly lost in service is that he would have renounced any feeling of doing service or having done any service. ⁹¹In other words you call this “ The renunciation of having renounced anything”.

⁹²When you say, “I did this service”, that service would not be successful.

⁹³“I did not do anything but I was the instrument through whom it was done, and Baba was the One doing it.”

⁹⁴Then, there is praise of the Father.

⁹⁵When you say that you are the server or that you did something or that you will do something, then that consciousness of “I”, even in terms of being a server, won’t allow that service to be successful.

⁹⁶When service is mixed with the consciousness of “I”, it becomes service filled with a selfish motive, not service filled with renunciation.

⁹⁷In the world there are two types of serviceable souls. ⁹⁸One type of serviceable soul are those who serve with selfish motives and second type are those who are embodiments of renunciation out of love.

⁹⁹So what type of server you are?

¹⁰⁰You have already been told that when your consciousness of “I”, is merged in Baba’s love, then this is what it means to be a true server.

¹⁰¹Then the language of “I” and “You” comes to an end.

¹⁰²Baba is the One inspiring the act and you are the instrument performing it.

¹⁰³Anyone can become an instrument.

¹⁰⁴When you have the consciousness of “I”, what does that mean?

¹⁰⁵Who bleats “Meh! ¹⁰⁶Meh!” all the time?

¹⁰⁷(A goat).

¹⁰⁸By constantly bleating “I”, you become dependent.

¹⁰⁹The head and shoulder of a goat is constantly bowed down whereas a lion constantly holds his head high. ¹¹⁰So, where there is the consciousness of “I”, you are bowing down to one or another desire and do not have the intoxication to hold your head up high.

¹¹¹Due to one or another reason, you keep your head down like a goat.

¹¹²A householder’s life is like that of a goat because you are constantly bowed down.

¹¹³To bow down in humility is a different matter; this is not humility making you bow down, but Maya making you bow down.

¹¹⁴She forces you to bow your head and makes you look down. ¹¹⁵To have the consciousness of “I” mixed in service means to become dependent, you would then be dependent on a person or a possession, the atmosphere or anything else.

¹¹⁶You even become dependent on your own sanskars. ¹¹⁷To be dependent means to be under an external influence.

¹¹⁸Those who are influenced by others become dependent. ¹¹⁹Servers cannot have this sanskar. ¹²⁰Servers are those who issue a challenge. ¹²¹You always hold your head high when you issue a challenge.

¹²²When you have made a mistake, you would look down whilst you speak.

¹²³To be a server means to be one who challenges.

¹²⁴To be a server means to be one of those who challenge Maya and also the souls of the world about the Father.

¹²⁵Those who have first challenged their old sanskars are then able to challenge others.

¹²⁶First, you have to challenge your own sanskars in particular and then you can challenge in general all the obstacles that come.

¹²⁷Obstacles can never stop true servers. ¹²⁸Those who challenge others are able to change the mountainous form of Maya into a mustard seed form within a second.

¹²⁹In the drama you show about Maya, what is it that you show? ¹³⁰That you will change a mountain into a mustard seed.

¹³¹To be a true server means to be those who are equal to the Father. ¹³²What does the Father first of all call Himself?

¹³³He says: I am the World Servant. ¹³⁴To be a server means to be equal to the Father.

¹³⁵The service you do in this one birth enables you to claim a crown and a throne for many future births.

¹³⁶The confluence age is the age of doing service. ¹³⁷And, for how long do you have to do that?

¹³⁸In any case, the confluence is a small age.

¹³⁹Therefore, if you do receive an opportunity to serve in this age, it is for a short time.

¹⁴⁰Even when someone has been serving for 50 to 60 years, if you subtract 50 to 60 years from 5000 years, then all the rest of the cycle is the time of the reward.

¹⁴¹That means serving for 60 years and enjoying the nourishment of that for the rest of the cycle.

¹⁴²You become worthy according to the effort you make at the confluence age.

¹⁴³Then, you will become a worshipper according to how worthy of being worship you became. ¹⁴⁴You will become the foremost worshippers.

¹⁴⁵Then just see how good your final birth is too! ¹⁴⁶Even the final birth of you good effort­makers has been good, and so from this, you understand how good your past births must have been.

¹⁴⁷This is like experiencing a little sorrow in comparison to the happiness you have experienced.

¹⁴⁸When for instance, a very wealthy person becomes a little poor, you would say that he has become poor.

¹⁴⁹When the temperature of a wealthy person is even one degree too high, you would say that he has a temperature.

¹⁵⁰However, when the temperature of a poor person is almost 5 degrees too high, no one would even ask!

¹⁵¹Similarly, the sorrow that you experience is not that much but, because you have experienced extreme happiness, it is said that you are experiencing sorrow.

¹⁵²Even in your final birth, you haven’t become beggars, have you?

¹⁵³You have never become those who beg for a couple of chappatis at every doorstep.
