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.

⁸⁸One curtain is of the ordinary form and the other curtain is of another religion. ⁸⁹The people of Bharat only have to have recognition through one curtain, but you children abroad have recognised Him from behind both curtains.

⁹⁰You have a lot of courage. ⁹¹You have made the impossible possible.

⁹²Christians and those of other religions ask how people of their religion can become Brahmins. ⁹³They say that it is impossible. ⁹⁴So you have made the impossible become possible.

⁹⁵You are clever in understanding knowledge and also in accepting it. ⁹⁶You are number one in both.

⁹⁷However, when a mouse comes in between you become afraid. ⁹⁸It is an easy path but when you mix your waste thoughts, then those easy things become difficult.

⁹⁹Therefore, take a jump in this too. ¹⁰⁰Make your eyes sharp so that you can recognize Maya.

¹⁰¹You misunderstand things.

¹⁰²To consider something of paper to be real is a misunderstanding, is it not?

¹⁰³Otherwise, you double foreigners have many specialties. ¹⁰⁴However, there is just this one weakness. ¹⁰⁵Then, you even laugh at yourself a great deal.

¹⁰⁶When you realize that it is only a paper lion and not real, you laugh at yourself.

¹⁰⁷You check yourself and also change yourself.

¹⁰⁸However, at that time because you are afraid, you come right down or you come down half way.

¹⁰⁹Then you have to make effort to go up again. ¹¹⁰Then, instead of experiencing it to be easy, you find you have to labour.

¹¹¹Otherwise there is no labour involved.

¹¹²Once you belong to the Father, you become a soul who has claimed all rights. ¹¹³You become a master of the treasures, the home and the kingdom. ¹¹⁴So what more do you want?

¹¹⁵So what will you do now? ¹¹⁶Leave the sanskars of being afraid here. ¹¹⁷Do you understand? ¹¹⁸BapDada also continues to watch the games and is amused.

¹¹⁹You children go into the depths, but together with going into the depths, you also sometimes become afraid.

¹²⁰You also have the sanskars of having come last and going fast.

¹²¹Previously, you foreigners had sanskars of becoming trapped by someone in particular, but you now have sanskars of going fast.

¹²²You don't become trapped in one, but in many!

¹²³There are so many cages in just one life! ¹²⁴You come out of one cage and become trapped in another.

¹²⁵You come out of the second cage and become trapped in the third.

¹²⁶Therefore, to the extent that you had sanskars of becoming trapped, so you now have the sanskars of going fast.

¹²⁷Just remember one thing: don't make a small thing into something very big!

¹²⁸Make big things small! ¹²⁹Don't ask the question, "Does this also have to happen?" ¹³⁰Instead of asking, "What happened?

¹³¹Does this also have to happen?", think that whatever happens is beneficial. ¹³²All questions should now be finished.

¹³³Full stop. ¹³⁴Don’t use your intellect a great deal in this.

¹³⁵Otherwise you waste energy and you don't experience yourself to be powerful. ¹³⁶There are a lot more question marks.

¹³⁷So now, when you leave Madhuban, the land of blessings, leave behind the question-mark and go, having put a full-stop.

¹³⁸A question mark is difficult, but a full-stop is easy! ¹³⁹So why do you put aside something easy and adopt something difficult?

¹⁴⁰Energy is wasted in that, but when you apply a full-stop, life becomes the best.

¹⁴¹One leads to waste and the other makes things the best.

¹⁴²So what should you do? ¹⁴³Now don't waste anything.

¹⁴⁴Let every thought and second be the best.

¹⁴⁵Achcha.

¹⁴⁶Now Baba has had a heart-to-heart conversation with the residents of London. ¹⁴⁷Multimillionfold love and remembrance from BapDada to all the long-lost and now-found children who are the residents of London.

¹⁴⁸You may not have arrived in Madhuban in the corporeal form, but BapDada always sees all you children personally in front of Him.

¹⁴⁹To all serviceable children, how can Baba mention each one's name personally, so to all you children, to all you co-operative souls, who must all become carefree and maintain intoxication because your Companion is the Father Himself.

¹⁵⁰Achcha, love and remembrance to everyone.

¹⁵¹Blessing: May you be an embodiment of virtues and experience all virtues by having an equal balance of three types of service.

¹⁵²When you children remain busy in serving through your thoughts, words and actions, you become embodiments of success.

¹⁵³There should be equal marks in all three. ¹⁵⁴When there is an equal balance of all three types of service throughout the day, you become an embodiment of virtues and able to pass with honour. ¹⁵⁵The decoration of all divine virtues will be very clearly visible in you.

¹⁵⁶To give co-operation to one another in imbibing the Father's virtues and imbibing virtues in yourself is to become an embodiment of virtues. ¹⁵⁷The donation of virtue is the greatest donation. ¹⁵⁸Slogan: Make all your accounts overflowing by using all your treasures for service.
