Avyakt murli for Friday 12 March 1982

⁰> > 12-03-82 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban ¹The basis of colour, beauty and fragrance in the living flowers.

²Today, the Father, the Master of the Garden, is seeing the variety of flowers in the living garden.

³Only once throughout the whole cycle does BapDada find such a spiritual garden.

⁴Such a spiritual garden with the beauty of such spiritual, fragrant flowers cannot be found at any other time.

⁵When compared with this garden, then no matter how famous any other garden may be, what could the experience of that be?

⁶This garden is as valuable as a diamond and the other one is as worthless as a shell. ⁷Do you have the intoxication that you are a spiritual flower in God's living garden?

⁸Just as BapDada sees the colour, beauty and fragrance of each of you flowers, so too, do each of you also know your own colour, beauty and fragrance?

⁹The basis of colour is the subject of knowledge.

¹⁰The more you are an embodiment of knowledge, the more attractive your colour will be. ¹¹When you look at physical flowers, although there are various flowers of many colours, from a distance, some colours will attract you especially more than others. ¹²As soon as you see it, the praise that emerges from your lips is, "How beautiful the flower is!"

¹³And, your heart's desire will constantly be to keep looking at it.

¹⁴In the same way, flowers that are coloured with the colour of knowledge will also be very beautiful.

¹⁵Similarly, the basis of beauty and fragrance is being an embodiment of remembrance and divine virtues. ¹⁶If there is just colour, but no beauty, then the flower will not be attractive.

¹⁷If there is colour and beauty but no fragrance, then too, the flower will not be attractive.

¹⁸It is said: "This is artificial" or "This is real".

¹⁹Flowers with just colour and beauty are used more for decoration, whereas people would keep fragrant flowers close to themselves.

²⁰Fragrant flowers are constantly and automatically embodiments of service. ²¹Therefore, ask yourself: Which flower am I?

²²No matter where I am, am I doing service naturally and automatically? ²³Have I become instrumental in creating a spiritual atmosphere?

²⁴Does your fragrance only spread when you come close or does it also spread from a distance?

²⁵If you just listen to this knowledge and are developing the practice of yoga, but have not yet become an embodiment of knowledge, or one with a yogi life, or a practical image of an embodiment of divine virtues, then you will just become the decoration, that is, you will become one of the subjects.

²⁶Subjects are the decoration of the king. ²⁷So you have become flowers in Allah's garden, but which type of flowers?

²⁸You have to check yourself. ²⁹There is just one garden, one Master of the Garden but a variety of flowers.

³⁰What do you double foreigners consider yourselves to be? ³¹Are you those who have a right to the kingdom or those who simply observe the ones who rule? ³²Today, BapDada has come to meet you in the garden.

³³You all have the thought in your mind of having a heart-to-heart conversation. ³⁴Therefore, today, Baba has come to have a heart-to-heart conversation. ³⁵There are two groups.

³⁶BapDada has extreme love for both this land's children and those from abroad. ³⁷Those from Karnataka and also the double foreigners continue to swing in the swing of happiness. ³⁸Having come to Madhuban, have all of you become experienced in being free from Maya? ³⁹Or does Maya come to you in Madhuban as well?

⁴⁰You come to Madhuban to experience the stage of being free from Maya.

⁴¹Therefore Maya does not attack you here, but will be defeated, because you especially come to Madhuban especially to earn an income.

⁴²Double foreigners should apply a double lock. ⁴³Having come to Madhuban, what specialities have you imbibed?

⁴⁴(Baba was asking this of the double foreigners and those from Karnataka).

⁴⁵Just as you saw the speciality of being co-operative, so too, what else did you see?

⁴⁶You received love, peace and light. ⁴⁷You received everything, did you not?

⁴⁸The more attainment someone has, the more that someone can't stop doing service.

⁴⁹This is why those who are embodiments of attainment are automatically embodiments of service.

⁵⁰Those from Karnataka have brought about very good expansion and there is also very good expansion abroad.

⁵¹Those from abroad have created many centres and have also made many servers emerge.

⁵²BapDada is very pleased to see the courage, zeal and enthusiasm of the children. ⁵³Whether in this land or abroad, Baba is pleased to see that the children have very good zeal and enthusiasm for service.

⁵⁴Those who are living at the centres and are engaged in service in this land or abroad, do you all have powerful amrit vela?

⁵⁵This group is very good, but Maya also watches the very good children very carefully. ⁵⁶Such children are also liked by Maya. ⁵⁷Because you are instruments, you also have to become conquerors of Maya. ⁵⁸This is why special attention is paid to you.

⁵⁹The more powerful instrument souls are, the more powerful the atmosphere that will be made. ⁶⁰Otherwise, the atmosphere will become weak and there will be many problems. ⁶¹When the atmosphere is powerful, you yourself will become a destroyer of obstacles, and you will also become instruments for others to become destroyers of obstacles. ⁶²Just as the sun is very bright and thereby dispels all darkness and gives light to others and also burns rubbish, in the same way, souls who are instruments should pay attention to remaining stable as embodiments of power and destroyers of obstacles.

⁶³But not just for themselves. ⁶⁴You should also have accumulated enough stock to enable others to become destroyers of obstacles.

⁶⁵Therefore the majority of this group are those who are master suns of knowledge. ⁶⁶Now constantly remain aware of being a master sun of knowledge. ⁶⁷You are an embodiment of light and are also able to dispel the darkness of others.

⁶⁸Achcha. ⁶⁹BapDada also remembers those from Madhuban. ⁷⁰The residents of Madhuban are also in the vision of the Brahmin family.

⁷¹When you praise Madhuban, it is the residents of Madhuban who come in front of you. ⁷²A whole lecture has been written on the praise of Madhuban.

⁷³All of you residents of Madhuban do experience the praise of Madhuban to be your praise, do you not? ⁷⁴Achcha.

⁷⁵To all the special souls who are full of all specialities, to the server souls who have become instruments to serve others through their form, to those who are colourful, beautiful and fragrant flowers of BapDada, the Master of the Garden, love, remembrance and namaste.

⁷⁶Double foreign children asked why they are told to do double service (Spiritual service and a worldly job). ⁷⁷In response to this, BapDada said:

⁷⁸Very little time remains and you want the maximum attainment. ⁷⁹For this, you have to use your body, mind and wealth, and this is why you have to do all three types of service.

⁸⁰In a short time, you are able to accumulate all three types of benefit because marks are also given on the basis of wealth. ⁸¹By accumulating those marks, you claim a number ahead.

⁸²You are told this for your own benefit. ⁸³You can use your wealth, and you are therefore able to claim multimillion-fold reward in return for one in the subject of wealth.

⁸⁴If you can benefit from everything at the same time, then why should you not do that?

⁸⁵However, when the instrument souls see that you don't have time, that you are not free, that you don’t even have time to eat because you have become so busy, they will automatically free you from that.

⁸⁶However, until you become too busy, it is necessary for you to do this.

⁸⁷It doesn’t go to waste. ⁸⁸These marks are also being accumulated.

⁸⁹When you become too busy, then the drama won't allow you to have a job. ⁹⁰There will be one or another reason stopping you even when you want to carry on.

⁹¹This is why there is benefit in moving along as you are doing now. ⁹²Don’t think that you are not surrendered. ⁹³You are surrendered and are acting according to directions.

⁹⁴If you are following the dictates of your mind, you are not surrendered. ⁹⁵If you state that you are not going to work, then those are the dictates of your own mind that you are following.

⁹⁶Therefore, constantly keep yourself light.

⁹⁷Whatever the instrument souls tell you, you must understand that there is benefit in that.

⁹⁸Just remain carefree about it. ⁹⁹If you have many thoughts about this, and think "Perhaps it is not in my part", or "Why am I not told?” (not to work), then those are just waste thoughts.

¹⁰⁰Do you understand? ¹⁰¹BapDada speaking to teachers: ¹⁰²What is the service place of teachers?

¹⁰³Teachers are always on the world stage. ¹⁰⁴Your service place is the world stage.

¹⁰⁵By considering yourself to be on the stage, you will perform every action with attention.

¹⁰⁶When you sit on the stage for a programme, you pay a great deal of attention at every moment.

¹⁰⁷You don't become careless. ¹⁰⁸Similarly, to become a teacher means to remain on the world stage.

¹⁰⁹Although there may be just two sisters living at a centre, you two are not just two, but you are in front of the whole world.

¹¹⁰Achcha.

¹¹¹Questions asked by double-foreign brothers and sisters and BapDada's response: ¹¹²Question: Many times whilst sitting in yoga we receive touchings, but how can we tell whether those touchings are from BapDada or not? ¹¹³Answer: Baba's touchings are always powerful and you will experience this power to be more powerful than your own power.

¹¹⁴There will be the experience of easy success in Baba's touchings. ¹¹⁵There will never be questions of "Why?" or "What?" about Baba's touchings. ¹¹⁶Everything will be very clear.

¹¹⁷Therefore, from these things, you can understand that that is a touching from Baba.

¹¹⁸Question: How can one recognise whether one has surrendered with one’s intellect or not?

¹¹⁹Answer: The meaning of “surrendering with the intellect” is: Whatever the intellect decides will be according to shrimat because the work of the intellect is to decide.

¹²⁰Therefore nothing but shrimat should enter your intellect. ¹²¹Because of constantly having the awareness of Baba in your intellect, that will be the decision-making power.

¹²²The practical sign of that is that one’s judgement will be correct and filled with success.

¹²³Whatever such a soul says, he himself will like it and others too will accept it as a very good thing. ¹²⁴Everyone will feel that that one's intellect is very clear and surrendered. ¹²⁵They will be content with their intellect.

¹²⁶There won't be any question whether that one’s right or not. ¹²⁷Question: Why is it that some children who have faith in the intellect leave after 4 or 5 years?

¹²⁸How can this wave be finished? ¹²⁹Answer: The particular reason why they leave is that they remain very busy in service, but they lose the balance between serving the self and service. ¹³⁰That is one reason why some good children come to a halt. ¹³¹Another is that they have a particular sanskar in which they have been weak from the beginning.

¹³²However, they hide it and continue to battle with it by themselves.

¹³³They don't clearly tell BapDada, or the instrument souls, about that weakness, and thereby don’t finish that sanskar.

¹³⁴Because they hide it, that weakness takes on a dangerous form inside them and they don't experience themselves to be making progress. ¹³⁵Then they feel disheartened and leave Baba.

¹³⁶The third reason is that they are unable to harmonise their sanskars with those of others. ¹³⁷These sanskars are in conflict with others.

¹³⁸In order to finish this wave of souls leaving, together with service, full attention should be paid to maintaining a balance between self-service and service.

¹³⁹Everyone who comes should be very clear with BapDada and the instrument souls.

¹⁴⁰If you feel that service is too much, then think of a way for your own progress.

¹⁴¹You should also relate your feelings to the instrument souls.

¹⁴²First draw the attention of the new ones to these things.

¹⁴³One should check one's own sanskars first.

¹⁴⁴If you have a conflict of sanskars with anyone, step away from that person. ¹⁴⁵It is better to separate yourself from the circumstances where there is a conflict of sanskars.

¹⁴⁶Question: If there is no result from the service done at a particular place, is that due to one's own weakness or is it due to the land there being like that? ¹⁴⁷Answer: First of all, try using all types of facilities for service.

¹⁴⁸If, after doing all types of service, there is still no result, then it is possible that it could be the land.

¹⁴⁹If service is not increasing due to your own weakness , then your conscience will definitely bite you.

¹⁵⁰You will know that service is not taking place because of you.

¹⁵¹At such a time, take help from one another and fill one another with force.

¹⁵²If it is due to you, then the souls that emerge from that land will also be weak. ¹⁵³They won't be intense effort-makers.

¹⁵⁴Achcha. ¹⁵⁵Blessing: May you be a soul filled with success and bring about transformation with the co-operation of good wishes and pure feelings. ¹⁵⁶When all the Brahmin children together give the co-operation of their good wishes and pure feelings in any task, then that co-operation builds a fortress of the atmosphere and that transforms all souls. ¹⁵⁷With the co-operation of five fingers together any big task is easily accomplished.

¹⁵⁸Similarly, the co-operation of every Brahmin soul makes service successful. ¹⁵⁹The result of co-operation is success.

¹⁶⁰Slogan: To leave the heart-throne and to have ordinary thoughts means to place the foot of your intellect in the mud.
