Avyakt murli for Friday 8 January 1982

⁰> > 08-01-82 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Avyakt BapDada Meeting the London Group ²Today, Baba has especially come to celebrate a meeting with the children who reside in London.

³In fact, everyone is constantly loved by BapDada; everyone receives a special chance of a meeting.

⁴However, today, Baba has especially come to meet the residents of London. ⁵Children who reside in London give their co-operation in service with their heart and soul and with a lot of love from deep in their heart and will continue to give this co-operation. ⁶Each of you pays good attention to your own flying stage.

⁷Of course, all are numberwise but, nevertheless, your speed of effort is good.

⁸(A bird came flying into the hall.)

⁹All of you become very happy to see the bird flying. ¹⁰In the same way, your own flying stage is also lovely.

¹¹When you fly, you are free, you are totally independent.

¹²But when you come down instead of flying, you come into bondage.

¹³To have the flying stage means to be free from bondage and accurately linked in yoga.

¹⁴So what do you residents of London think?

¹⁵You do have the flying stage, do you not?

¹⁶You don’t come down, do you?

¹⁷Even if you do come down, it is only to take up those who are down below and make them fly with you.

¹⁸Otherwise, you don’t come down. ¹⁹Do you have the practice of coming down to serve those who are down below, to encourage them and give them enthusiasm and then go back up again?

²⁰What do you think?

²¹The group of the London residents is constantly beyond the attraction of the physical body and the physical world and constantly loved by the Father.

²²This is known as being like a lotus flower.

²³Whilst living there for the sake of service, you remain loving and detached.

²⁴Therefore, this is a loving and detached group, is it not?

²⁵London has a connection with all the centres abroad.

²⁶So you London residents have become the foundation of this tree of service.

²⁷If the foundation is weak, the whole tree becomes weak.

²⁸This is why you who are the foundation must constantly pay attention to yourself and remain aware of your responsibility for service.

²⁹Generally, everyone is responsible for self-service and world service.

³⁰The other day, Baba told you that each one has to wear this crown of responsibility.

³¹Nevertheless, today, Baba is specially drawing the attention of you children who reside in London to this.

³²This crown of responsibility constantly makes you double-light.

³³It is not a crown with a burden.

³⁴It is one that finishes all types of burden.

³⁵You have experienced that ,when you remain busy in all types of service, with your body, mind and wealth and through your thoughts, words and deeds, you can easily conquer Maya and become a conqueror of the world.

³⁶You easily and naturally forget the consciousness of the body.

³⁷You don’t need to labour for that.

³⁸You do experience this, do you not?

³⁹At the time of doing service, you don't think of anything else except the Father and service.

⁴⁰You continue to dance in happiness.

⁴¹Therefore this crown of responsibility is light, is it not?

⁴²That is, it makes you light, does it not?

⁴³This is why BapDada is especially reminding all the children of their title of "Spiritual Servers".

⁴⁴Even BapDada comes here as the spiritual Server.

⁴⁵So the Father’s form is also the form of the children.

⁴⁶So are all you double-foreigners wearing your crown?

⁴⁷You are constantly spiritual servers, like the Father.

⁴⁸As soon as you open your eyes, you celebrate a meeting and become present on the field of service.

⁴⁹Service begins with "Good morning" and there is nothing but service till you say "Good night".

⁵⁰Just as you are constant yogis, in the same way, you are constant spiritual servers.

⁵¹Even when you do physical service, you are filling souls with the power of spirituality because, together with doing physical service, you are also doing service through the mind.

⁵²Therefore spiritual service is merged in physical service.

⁵³When you prepare food, you fill that food with the power of spirituality. ⁵⁴This is how it becomes Brahma Bhojan; it becomes pure food.

⁵⁵It becomes like prasad (food that has been offered to God).

⁵⁶Therefore spiritual service is merged in physical service.

⁵⁷This is the way you become constant servers and constant conquerors of Maya.

⁵⁸You become destroyers of obstacles.

⁵⁹So what are you residents of London?

⁶⁰Constant servers!

⁶¹Maya doesn’t come to London, does she? ⁶²Or does Maya like London too?

⁶³Achcha.

⁶⁴What do you residents of London want to do now?

⁶⁵London has very good jewels.

⁶⁶They have gone to many different places.

⁶⁷Generally, all the centres abroad have been opened by one being inspired by another.

⁶⁸Someone opens a centre somewhere, and then someone from that place will open another centre, and so on.

⁶⁹How many centres are there now in total?

⁷⁰(50.) So London is the foundation of 50 places. ⁷¹So the tree has become beautiful, has it not?

⁷²A tree that has 50 branches and twigs is very beautiful. ⁷³Therefore, the foreign tree has grown very large and fruitful.

⁷⁴BapDada is pleased to see the zeal and enthusiasm that all the children, not just London residents, have for service.

⁷⁵Abroad they have very deep love for this.

⁷⁶The love they have for remembrance and service is very good there.

⁷⁷However, there is just one thing, which is that you very quickly become afraid of small forms of Maya.

⁷⁸Just as some Brahmins in India are afraid of mice and cockroaches, you foreign children become afraid of these small forms of Maya.

⁷⁹You consider something very small to be big when, in fact, it is nothing.

⁸⁰You consider a paper lion to be a real lion.

⁸¹Although you have so much love, the sanskar of becoming afraid also emerges on the field to the same extent.

⁸²Therefore, you foreign children must not become afraid of Maya. ⁸³You should play with her. ⁸⁴Would you play with a paper lion or be afraid of it?

⁸⁵That is just a toy, is it not? ⁸⁶What would you call those who are afraid of toys?

⁸⁷According to the effort that you double foreigners make, you can claim the number one seat, because whilst behind the curtains of another religion, whilst behind double curtains, you have recognised the Father.
