102-10-81 ओम शान्ति अव्यक्त बापदादा मधुबन 2"सदा मिलन के झूले में झूलने का आधार"
4Whether you are here with your body or with your mind, you are stable in the thought of having a meeting and in the remembrance of One.
3सर्व झमेलों से छुड़ाने वाले, सर्व प्राप्ति स्वरूप बनाने वाले ज्ञान सागर शिव बाबा बोले:-
5BapDada has already given you all treasures. 6BapDada has already made each of you a master of all treasures either through the physical form or through the angelic subtle form.
4आज चारों ओर के याद में रहने वाले बच्चों को बापदादा साकार वा आकार में सम्मुख देखते हुए याद का रेसपान्ड पदमगुणा याद प्यार दे रहे हैं।
7Therefore, since you have all become masters of all treasures, what remains to be done? 8Does anything still remain to be done? 9BapDada has simply come to salute you masters. 10You look as though you have already become masters.
5कोई तन से, कोई मन से एक ही मिलन के संकल्प में,एक ही याद में स्थित हैं।
11So, what else remains to be done? 12You should calculate how much you have heard and how much the One who is speaking has spoken.
6बापदादा खज़ाना तो दे ही चुके हैं।
13You have heard a great deal and you have been told a great deal.
7साकार द्वारा, आकार अव्यक्त रूप द्वारा सर्व खज़ानों के मालिक बना चुके हैं।
14Whilst listening to all of these things, each of you has also become one who relates them to others. 15So, what do those who relate this knowledge to others want to hear?
8जब सर्व खज़ानों के मालिक बन गये तो बाकी क्या रह गया है?
16You sing the song of your own experience, “I have attained whatever I wanted. 17Therefore, what else remains to be done!”
9कुछ रहा है?
18Whose song is this?
10बापदादा तो सिर्फ मालिको को मालेकम् सलाम करने आये हैं।
19Is this the song of just Father Brahma or also the song of you Brahmins? 20This is your song too, is it not?
11देखने में तो मास्टर बन ही गये हो, बाकी क्या रह गया है!
21Therefore, Baba asks you: What else remains to be done? 22You are merged in the Father and the Father is merged in you.
12सुनने का हिसाब निकालो और सुनाने वाले का भी हिसाब निकालो।
23Since we have merged, what else remains to be done? 24Have you merged or are you still merging?
13अथाह सुन लिया, अथाह सुना लिया।
25What would you say? 26Have you merged or are you still merging?
14सुनते-सुनते सुनाने वाले भी बन गये।
27The meeting between you rivers and the Ocean has already taken place.
15तो सुनाने वालों को क्या सुनना है?
28To merge means to celebrate a meeting. 29So you have celebrated a meeting, have you not?
16आप लोगों का ही गीत है, अनुभव का गीत गाते हो, पाना था वो पा लिया- अब काम क्या बाकी रहा।
30The Ocean is not separate from the Ganges and the Ganges are not separate from the Ocean. 31The meeting of the Ocean and the Ganges is eternal.
17यह गीत किसका गीत है?
32To merge means to become equal.
18ब्रह्मा बाप का है वा ब्राह्मणों का भी है?
33BapDada gives loving congratulations to all of you who have become equal.
19यही गीत है ना आपका?
34This time, BapDada has simply come to see all of you.
20तो बाप भी पूछते हैं- काम क्या बाकी रहा?
35BapDada has obeyed the instructions of you masters and has come to meet you.
21बाप आप में समा गये और आप बाप में समा गये,जब समा गये तो बाकी क्या रह गया?
36He cannot say “No” to all you masters. 37Therefore, because Baba has made the lesson of “Yes, My Lord”, very firm, Baba has come. 38You have to do the same.
22समा गये हो या समा रहे हो? 23क्या कहेंगे?
39From the beginning, BapDada blessing you with “Tattwam” (the same applies to you).
24समा गये वा समा रहे हो?
40You have been blessed with “Tattwam”, in your mind and in your form.
25नदी और सागर का मेला तो हो ही गया ना!
41You have been blessed with “Tattwam” in your dharma (religion) and your karma (action, behaviour).
26समाना अर्थात् मिलन मनाना। 27तो मिलन तो मना लिया ना?
42Those who have received these blessings experience themselves to be constantly close and equal to Baba.
28सागर गंगा से अलग नहीं, गंगा सागर से अलग नहीं।
43BapDada is pleased to see His children who are close and equal to Him.
29गंगा सागर का अविनाशी मेला है।
44By simply using one expression in your dharma and karma, from amrit vela to the end of the day, you will constantly swing in the swing of celebrating a meeting in which matter and Maya will both become your servants to swing you. 45All treasures will decorate this elevated swing. 46You will not have to labour to imbibe virtues and powers, but they will automatically decorate your swing of the celebration of this meeting in which you and the Father become equal and merge. 47The basis of constantly swinging in such a swing is the one expression “Bapsaman” (equal to the Father).
30समा गये अर्थात् समान बन गये।
48If you are not equal, you cannot merge.
31समान बनने वालों को बापदादा भी स्नेह की मुबारक देते हैं।
49If you do not know how to merge, it means you have been wasting the confluence age. 50The confluence age is the time when you rivers meet the Ocean and merge into Him.
32इस बारी बापदादा सिर्फ देखने आयें है।
51The mela (meeting) means the merging. 52It means to celebrate a meeting.
33मालिको की आज्ञा मानकर मिलने के लिए आ गये हैं।
53So, do you know how to merge? 54What is it that you are doing if you are not celebrating a meeting?
34मालिको को ना नहीं कर सकते हैं।
55You are in a jamela (a fair where there is no order). 56There is either a jamela or a mela.
35तो ''जी हाजर का पाठ पढ़कर हाजर हो गये हैं।
57Some of you children say that you are lonely, but Baba says that you must never become lonely.
36ऐसे ही तत् त्वम्।
58It is when you are alone that you have His company.
37बापदादा आदिकाल से ''तत् त्वम्का वरदान ही दे रहे हैं।
59The confluence age is the time to remain combined. 60You mustn’t become lonely by separating yourself from the Father.
38संकल्प और स्वरूप दोनों में तत्त्वम् के वरदानी हो।
61You are His constant companions. 62However, some small children become stuck in the jamela.
39धर्म और कर्म दोनों में तत्त्वम् के वरदानी हो।
63There are many jamelas, not just one. 64There is one mela, but many jamelas.
40ऐसे वरदानी सदा समीप और समान के अनुभवी होते हैं।
65Therefore, remain in this mela (meeting the Father) and all of those jamelas will finish. 66Now, become those who experience the reward of becoming complete by putting a stop to all those temporary rewards and thereby experience the reward of total perfection. 67Achcha. 68To the children who are equal to the Father and constantly swing in the swing of celebrating a meeting with the Father; to those who are embodiments of all attainments and constantly sing the song of, “Having attained whatever I wanted”; to those who constantly say, “Yes my Lord” and are everpresent in their every thought, word and action; to such elevated souls; to all the children from this land and abroad who celebrate a meeting either through their physical bodily form or their subtle bodily form; to all such children who are masters, the Masters salutes you and gives you love and remembrances; to all you elevated souls, BapDada says namaste.
41बाप-दादा ऐसे समीप और समान बच्चों को देख हर्षित होते हैं।
69BapDada meeting groups: 70Karnataka Zone: Do all of you perform every action whilst stable in the stage of a detached observer?
42अमृतबेले से लेकर दिन के समाप्ति समय तक सिर्फ एक शब्द धर्म और कर्म में लाओ तो सदा मिलन के झूले में झूलते रहेंगे।
71Those who constantly perform every action whilst remaining a detached observer constantly experience the Father’s companionship. 72When you are not a detached observer, the Father cannot be your Companion. 73Therefore, constantly remain stable in the stage of a detached observer.
43जिस मिलन के झूले में प्रकृति और माया दोनों ही आपके झूले को झुलाने वाले, दासी बन जायेंगे।
74Remain a detached observer even of your own body. 75When you are detached from your body and bodily relations you automatically become detached from this old world.
44सर्व खज़ाने आपके इस श्रेष्ठ झूले के श्रृंगार बन जायेंगे।
76Then, whilst in your sight and in your connections with everyone, you will remain detached and loving.
45शक्तियों को,गुणों को,मेहनत से धारण नहीं करना पड़ेगा,लेकिन यह स्वयं आपका श्रृंगार बन आपके सामने स्वतः ऐसा मिलन का झूला, जिसमें बाप और आप, समान अर्थात् समाये हुए हों।
77This stage enables you to become an easy yogi. 78By constantly remaining a detached observer, you will remain immune to any effect of your being togetherwith them. 79Souls are not immune to the effect of action, but the stage of soul consciousness makes you immune, that is, it keeps you beyond any effect or attraction of Maya. 80To remain detached means to be immune.
46ऐसे झूले में सदा झूलने का आधार एक शब्द - ''बाप समान
81Therefore, do you constantly remain stable in such a stage? 82You should not be attacked by any type of Maya.
47समान नहीं तो समा नहीं सकते।
83Those who have surrendered themselves to Baba will constantly remain safe from any of Maya’s attacks.
48अगर समाना नहीं आता तो संगमयुग को गंवाया।
84Those who are surrendered will not be attacked by Maya. 85So, are you like this?
49क्योंकि संगमयुग ही नदी-सागर के समाने का मेला है। 50मेला अर्थात् समाना। 51मिलन मनाना।
86Just as you have been given the first chance, in the same way, also remain first in surrendering yourself and remaining free from any of Maya’s attacks.
52तो समाना आता है?
87First means to go fast.
53मेला नहीं मनाते तो क्या करते?
88By having this stage, you will constantly remain first.
54झमेला करते। 55तो या है झमेला या है मेला।
89Remain constantly happy and always experience the fortune of happiness.
56बच्चे कहते हैं अकेला हूँ लेकिन बाप कहते अकेला होना ही नहीं है।
90Achcha. 91Just as you sing praise of the Father’s virtues, do you also experience all of those virtues in yourself?
57जिसको अकेला कहते हो उसमें भी साथ है।
92Just as Baba is the Ocean of Knowledge and the Ocean of Happiness, do you also experience yourself to be an embodiment of knowledge and embodiment of happiness? 93You should not just speak of every virtue, but also experience it. 94When you souls become constant embodiments of happiness, then because you will be master suns of knowledge you will constantly spread rays of happiness throughout the whole world. 95Just as the rays of the sun spread over the whole world, in the same way, all the souls of the world will experience the rays of knowledge, happiness and bliss coming from you children of the Sun of Knowledge.
58संगम युग है ही कम्बाइन्ड रहने का युग।
96The higher your place and stage, the further and wider your rays will automatically spread.
59बाप से तो अकेले नहीं हो सकते ना!
97So, are you such embodiments of this experience? 98You have heard a great deal and you have been told a great deal also.
60सदा के साथी हैं।
99Now, increase your experience.
61बाकी छोटे-छोटे बच्चे झमेले में फंस जाते हैं।
100To speak means to make others into an embodiment of what you say and to listen means to make yourself an embodiment of what you hear.
62और झमेले भी अनेक हैं,एक नहीं। 63मेला एक है झमेले अनेक।
101You are those who constantly play with the treasures of happiness, are you not?
64तो मेले में रहो तो झमेले समाप्त हो जाएं।
102Happiness is a treasure with which you can make many souls prosperous.
65अब तो सम्पन्नता के प्रालब्धी बनो।
103Nowadays, there is especially a need of this treasure.
66अल्पकाल की प्रालब्ध को समाप्त कर सम्पूर्णता के सम्पन्नता की प्रालब्ध को अनुभव में लाओ। 67अच्छा-
104People have everything but happiness, whereas all of you have received mines of happiness. 105You have received this limitless treasure. 106There are varieties of the treasure of happiness.
68ऐसे बाप समान, सदा बाप के मिलन मनाने के झुले में झूलने वाले, पाना था वा पा लिया- ऐसे सर्व प्राप्ति स्वरूप, सदा हर संकल्प और बोल में, कर्म में जी हजूर और जी हाजर करने वाले, ऐसे सर्वश्रेष्ठ आत्माओं को,साकार द्वारा वा आकार द्वारा मिलन मनाने वाले देश विदेश के सर्व बच्चों को, बालक सो मालिको को बाप का मालेकम सलाम व याद प्यार।
107Sometimes you experience happiness in one thing and at other times happiness in something else. 108Sometimes you experience the happiness of being a child and sometimes the happiness of being a master. 109You have received so many varieties of this treasure of happiness. 110By telling others about all of these varieties of happiness, you can make them prosperous.
69साथ-साथ श्रेष्ठ आत्माओं को नमस्ते।
111Constantly remain a master of these treasures and keep them with you.
70प्राण अव्यक्त बापदादा की मधुर मुलाकात पार्टियों के साथ :-
112Constantly continue to use all the powers you have received from the Father. 113The Father has given you all powers.
71कर्नाटक जोन-
114Now simply use them!
721. सभी सदा साक्षी स्थिति में स्थित हो, हर कर्म करते हो? 73जो साक्षी हो कर्म करते हैं उन्हें स्वतः ही बाप के साथीपन का अनुभव भी होता है।
115Don’t just remain happy knowing that you have received them, but use whatever you have received on yourself and on others and you will thereby experience yourself to be constantly prosperous. 116You are constantly blessed souls, are you not? 117Who is especially remembered in Bharat at the present time?
74साक्षी नहीं तो बाप भी साथी नहीं इसलिए सदा साक्षी अवस्था में स्थित रहो।
118The souls who have been blessed. 119To be a devi (deity) means to be blessed. 120Deities are specially remembered as souls who have received all blessings.
75देह से भी साक्षी।
121So, do you feel that your subjects are remembering you?
76जब देह के सम्बन्ध और देह के साक्षी बन जाते हो तो स्वतः ही इस पुरानी दुनिया से साक्षी हो जाते हो।
122Do you experience this? 123Can you actually hear the invocation of your devotees or do you simply know about this on the basis of this knowledge? 124It is one thing to know about it and something else to experience it.
77देखते हुए, सम्पर्क में आते हुए सदा न्यारे और प्यारे।
125Therefore, are you able to experience this? 126What speciality do you need in order to be a blessed soul?
78यही स्टेज सहज योगी का अनुभव कराती है।
127All of you are blessed, so what is the speciality of you souls who are blessed? 128Such souls would be constantly equal and close to the Father. 129If you are only equal to the Father at some times and not at other times, and are still having to labour, then because the Father does not have to labour, but is always the embodiment of perfection, you cannot be a soul who is blessed. 130If you are having to labour a great deal, then you are just a little child, and not equal to the Father.
79तो सदा साक्षी इसको कहते हैं - साथ में रहते हुए भी निर्लेप।
131To be equal means to be complete. 132Those who are equal will be constantly blessed.
80आत्मा निर्लेप नही है लेकिन आत्मअभिमानी स्टेज निर्लेप है अर्थात् माया के लेप व आकर्षण से परे है।
133Whilst constantly experiencing zeal and enthusiasm for service, is your attitude that of benefitting everyone in the world? 134Is your attitude that of a constant world benefactor who benefits everyone?
81न्यारा अर्थात् निर्लेप।
135Constantly maintain this attitude.
82तो सदा ऐसी अवस्था में स्थित रहते हो?
136By having this attitude you can benefit everyone in the world.
83किसी भी प्रकार की माया का वार न हो।
137Whether in your words or your attitude, you must constantly remain aware that you are a benefactor.
84बाप पर बलिहार जाने वाले माया के वार से सदा बचे रहेंगे। 85बलिहार वालों पर वार नहीं हो सकता। 86तो ऐसे हो ना?
138The more you maintain this attitude, the more you will progress. 139To the extent that you do service and make others happy, in return the more you will also experience that same happiness within yourself.
87जैसे फर्स्ट चांस मिला है वैसे ही बलिहार और माया के बार से परे रहने में भी फर्स्ट।
140In fact, this is not serving others, but increasing your own attainments. 141Do you experience this? 142Constantly experience your stage ascending.
88फर्स्ट का अर्थ ही है फास्ट जाना। 89तो इस स्थिति में सदा फर्स्ट।
143This is not the time to halt anywhere. 144How would you reach your destination if you constantly have to stop somewhere?
90सदा खुश रहो,सदा खुश नशीब रहो। 91अच्छा।
145Constantly experience your stage to be ascending at every second.
922. जैसे बाप के गुणों का वर्णन करते हो वैसे स्वयं में भी वे सर्व गुण अनुभव करते हो?
146Underline, “Paying attention”, and your stage will constantly ascend. 147The more you stay in remembrance, the more you will be able to steady any type of shaking.
93जैसे बाप ज्ञान का सागर, सुख का सागर है वैसे ही स्वयं को भी ज्ञान-स्वरूप,सुख-स्वरूप अनुभव करते हो?
148When you have made the lesson of “Nothing new!” very firm, you won’t shake in any way. 149You won’t stop to watch the sidescenes, but will continue to make progress. 150You are such courageous souls, are you not?
94हर गुण का अनुभव सिर्फ वर्णन नहीं लेकिन अनुभव।
151When you children have courage, the Father helps. 152Whatever happens is just a sidescene.
95जब सुख-स्वरूप बन जायेंगे तो सुख-स्वरूप आत्मा द्वारा सुख की किरणें विश्व में फैलेंगी क्योंकि मास्टर ज्ञान सूर्य हो तो जैसे सूर्य की किरणें सारे विश्व में जाती हैं वैसे आप ज्ञान सूर्य के बच्चों की ज्ञान, सुख,आनन्द की किरणें सर्व आत्माओं तक पहुँचेंगी।
153You mustn’t stop progressing towards your destination when you come to a sidescene. 154Continue to progress and pass by everything and you will thereby experience your destination to be always close to you. 155Today, you are here and tomorrow, you will be in your kingdom. 156Become those who make the atmosphere powerful, not those who shake.
96जितने ऊंचे स्थान और स्थिति पर होंगे उतना चारों और स्वतः फैलती रहेंगी।
157Have powerful programmes for remembrance. 158You should have more programmes of remembrance than of service through words.
97तो ऐसे अनुभवी मूर्त्त हो।
159Sometimes, when you start speaking, you come down from your stage.
98सुनना-सुनाना तो बहुत हो गया, अभी अनुभव को बढ़ाओ।
160Therefore, make your fortress of remembrance strong for some time before you go onto the field of service.
99बोलना अर्थात् स्वरूप बनना,सुनना अर्थात् स्वरूप बनना।
161Anything that comes will also leave. 162When any situation arises, simply consider it to be a sidescene that has come and it will go away.
1003. सदा खुशी के खज़ानों से खेलने वाले हो ना?
163Neither speak of it nor think about it. 164This is called “Putting a fullstop”.
101खुशी भी एक खज़ाना है जिस खज़ाने द्वारा अनेक आत्माओं को माला-माल बना सकते हो।
165Do you constantly consider yourselves to be spiritual servers? 166Whilst walking, sitting and moving around, a server would constantly be thinking of serving.
102आजकल विशेष इसी खज़ाने की आवश्यकता है।
167This service is so easy that you can serve through your thoughts, words and actions.
103और सब हैं लेकिन खुशी नहीं।
168Even a sick person can do this service whilst lying in bed.
104आप सबको तो खुशियों की खान मिल गयी है।
169Even if your body is unwell, at least your intellect is alright.
105अनगिनत खज़ाना मिल गया है।
170Service through your mind can be done with your intellect.
106खुशी के खज़ाने में भी वैराइटी है ना!
171Are you constantly enthusiastic and concerned about doing this service?
107कभी किस बात की खुशी,कभी किस बात की खुशी।
172The more service you do, the more nature and matter will also serve you for birth after birth.
108कभी बालक पन की खुशी तो कभी मालिकपन की खुशी। 109कितने प्रकार के खुशी के खज़ाने मिले हैं!
173Nature will become your servant. 174At the moment, nature causes sorrow, but at that time, it will be your servant. 175To do service means to receive the fruit.
110वो वर्णन करते हुए औरों को भी मालामाल बना सकते हो।
176This service is not really work, but the means to attain all attainments.
111तो इन खज़ानों को सदा कायम रखो।
177One moment you do service and the next moment, your treasures of happiness overflow. 178Even when you serve just one soul, the impact of happiness on that soul lasts for such a long time because that soul will have become liberated from experiencing sorrow for birth after birth. 179When you help to create someone’s future for birth after birth, you would also experience happiness as the fruit of that. 180You are master bestowers of fortune who reform many souls for many births because you become the instruments to change their fortune.
112और सदा खज़ानों के मालिक बनो।
181Instead of their stage descending, their fortune makes their stage ascend.
113सदा बाप द्वारा मिली हुई शक्तियों को कार्य में लगाते रहो।
182To do service means to eat the fruit of happiness which is fresh fruit. 183Doctors also advise weak people to eat fresh fruit.
114बाप ने तो शक्तियाँ दे दी हैं।
184Here, when you souls eat this fresh fruit, you become powerful.
115अब सिर्फ उन्हें कार्य में लगाओ।
185Constantly remain courageous to do service and to bring about world transformation.
116सिर्फ मिल गया है, इसमें खुश नहीं रहो लेकिन जो मिला है वो स्वयं के प्रति और सर्व के प्रति यूज़ करो तो सदा मालामाल अनुभव करेंगे।
186Maintain courage to claim the first number. 187Constantly remain courageous to this extent and make the weak strong and powerful. 188BapDada constantly congratulates the children who remain courageous.
1174. सब वरदानी आत्मायें हो ना?
189Do you constantly move with the waves of the Ocean of Knowledge?
118इस समय विशेष भारत में किसकी याद चल रही है?
190From the beginning until now, you have been receiving so many points of knowledge from the Father.
119वरदानियों की।
191Therefore, churn those points and you will thereby remain constantly happy. 192Just as Baba, the Ocean of Knowledge, is full of knowledge, in the same way, you children should also remain full of knowledge and experience the intoxication and happiness of every point of knowledge. 193You have received countless points of this knowledge. 194Even if you just keep one point in your intellect every day, and remain in the experience of that, you can become an embodiment of knowledge.
120देवी अर्थात् वरदानी, देवियों को विशेष वरदानी के रूप में याद करते हैं,तो ऐसा महसूस होता है कि हमें याद कर रहे हैं?
195Constantly remain aware of how elevated this knowledge is and who has given it to you. 196You have been made full and satisfied by the One for whom the devotees are still thirsty and desperately searching.
121अनुभव होता है? 122भक्तों की पुकार महसूस होती है कि सिर्फ नालेज के आधार से जानते हो?
197Your thirst of devotion has now ended, has it not? 198Therefore, constantly sing the song: I have attained whatever I wanted. 199Achcha.
123एक है जानना,दूसरा है अनुभव होना। 124तो अनुभव होता है?
200Blessing: May you transform yourself by having realisation with your honest heart and thus receive blessings from the Comforter of Hearts.
125वरदानी मूर्त्त बनने के लिए विशेषता कौन-सी चाहिए?
201In order to transform yourself, you need to realise two things with an honest heart.
126आप सब वरदानी हो ना!
2021) The realisation of your weaknesses.
127तो वरदानी की विशेषता क्या है? 128वे सदा बाप के समान और समीप रहने वाले होगें।
2032) The realisation of the feelings and desires in the mind of the person that becomes instrumental in testing you.
129अगर कभी बाप समान और कभी बाप समान नहीं लेकिन स्वयं के पुरूषाथी तो वरदानी नहीं बन सकते।
204Understand the reason why the testpaper has come in that situations. 205Then, realise the elevated form that you have to maintain in order to pass that paper.
130क्योंकि बाप पुरूषार्थ नहीं करता लेकिन सदा सम्पन्न स्वरूप में है तो अगर बहुत पुरूषार्थ करते हैं तो पुरूषार्थी छोटे बच्चे हैं, बाप समान नहीं।
206Realise that your own stage is elevated and that the situation is just a testpaper. 207This realisation will easily enable you to transform yourself. 208When you realise this with an honest heart, you will receive blessings from the Comforter of Hearts.
131समान अर्थात् सम्पन्न। 132ऐसे सदा समान रहने वाले सदा वरदानी होगें।
209Slogan: Constantly have good wishes and pure feelings of generously sharing your gift of virtues and powers in your face and your behaviour.
133अच्छा, ओम् शान्ति।
