Avyakt murli for Thursday 8 April 1982

⁰> > 08-04-82 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The renunciation of lokik and alokik relationships.

²Today, BapDada is seeing His special souls who are great donors and bestowers of blessings.

³The basis of becoming a great donor and bestower of blessings is to become great renunciate. ⁴Without becoming a great renunciate, you cannot become a great donor or a bestower of blessings. ⁵To be a great donor means to be someone who gives selflessly to other souls all the treasures he has received.

⁶Only souls who are beyond selfishness can become great donors.

⁷A bestower of blessings will constantly experience himself to be full of the treasures of virtues, powers and knowledge. ⁸He will constantly have elevated and pure wishes for all souls and will always have the elevated desire to benefit all souls. ⁹Only those who have such elevated desires are constantly spiritually merciful and generous-hearted can become bestowers of blessings.

¹⁰For this, it is necessary to become a great renunciate.

¹¹You have been told the definition of renunciation. ¹²The first renunciation is the renunciation of the consciousness of your body.

¹³The second is the renunciation of the connections of the body.

¹⁴The first connection of the body is with the physical senses. ¹⁵The second step is to become a conqueror of the senses and to become someone with all rights over them.

¹⁶You have also been given a clear explanation of this.

¹⁷The third aspect is of the relations of people with your body. ¹⁸Both lokik and alokik relations are included in this.

¹⁹You have to be a great renunciate in both these types of relations, that is, you have to be a destroyer of attachment.

²⁰The sign of being a destroyer of attachment in both types of relations is that there will neither be dislike for anyone, nor will there be attachment to or dependence on anyone.

²¹If you dislike anyone, then the defects of that person, or actions that you don’t like performed by that one, will repeatedly disturb your intellect. ²²Even against your conscious wish, you will automatically have wrong ideas about that person in your thoughts, words, and dreams.

²³You will try to remember the Father, but that soul will appear in front of you.

²⁴Similarly, for a soul to whom you are attached or dependant upon in your heart, they will automatically attract you, even against your conscious wish.

²⁵That soul will attract your intellect with his virtues or love, and a soul you dislike, will disturb your intellect because of your selfish motives not being fulfilled.

²⁶Until those selfish motives are fulfilled, the karmic account of opposing that soul in your thoughts and actions will continue.

²⁷The seed of dislike is a royal form of a selfish motive, and that is, "Should do!" (karna chahiye).

²⁸"This one should do this. ²⁹He shouldn’t do that! ³⁰This should happen!”

³¹In this way desire of what you want to happen forges a wasteful relationship with that soul.

³²Because of constantly having wasteful thoughts for a soul you dislike, you spin the discus of looking at others.

³³This wasteful relationship will not even allow you to become a destroyer of attachment.

³⁴There wouldn't be love out of love, but out of force.

³⁵What do you then say? ³⁶“I’m so fed up!”

³⁷Of course the intellect would be pulled by whoever is making you fed up.

³⁸Your time will be wasted in that, your intellect will be wasted in that and your powers will be wasted in that.

³⁹Therefore, the first one is this relationship.

⁴⁰The second one is attachment or dependence on the basis of perishable love or attainment or because someone has become a temporary support for you.

⁴¹This too pulls your intellect towards itself, in terms of both lokik and alokik relationships.

⁴²In lokik life, when you receive love, support or attainments from bodily relationships, you have special attachment for those people.

⁴³Then, you make effort to break away from that attachment, and you aim to stop your intellect being pulled by them in any way.

⁴⁴After you let these go, it is these same things with alokik relationships that pull your intellect, that is, they easily make your intellect depend on them.

⁴⁵These too are relationships with bodily beings.

⁴⁶When you experience a problem in life, or there is some confusion in your heart, even against your comscious wish, you will only remember the soul who has given you some temporary support, someone who has given you some temporary attainment or a soul to whom you have attachment.

⁴⁷You won't remember the Father.

⁴⁸Then, once again, what do the souls who have such attachment think and say in order to justify themselves and defend themselves? ⁴⁹That the Father is incorporeal and subtle; that someone is definitely needed in the corporeal form!

⁵⁰However, you forget that if you have the relationship of all attainments with the one Father, that if you experience all relationships and you trust and have very firm faith in the Bestower of Support, then, although BapDada is incorporeal and subtle, He is bound to you in the bond of love.

⁵¹He gives you the feeling of the corporeal form.

⁵²What is the reason why you don’t experiencing this?

⁵³Through knowledge, you have understood that you have to have all relationships with the one Father, but you haven't brought all of those relationships into your practical life.

⁵⁴This is why you are unable to experience all relationships in a practical way.

⁵⁵Since, on the path of devotion, the most elevated devotee, Meera, didn’t just have a vision, but also had a practical experience, then can’t the children, who are embodiments of knowledge, the direct children of the Ocean of Knowledge, experience through the corporeal form, the One who is the basis of all attainments, the Father, the Bestower of Support?

⁵⁶So, why do you put aside the Almighty Authority and make souls, who are numberwise in their capacity, your support?

⁵⁷Therefore, you must also keep this very deep account of karma in your intellect.

⁵⁸The account of karma is very deep. ⁵⁹You must understand this.

⁶⁰When you take some temporary support from a soul, or you make someone the basis of your attainment, then, because your intellect is dependent on that soul, instead of your becoming karmateet, a bondage of karma is created.

⁶¹One gave and the other one took, and there was thereby an exchange of a soul with another soul.

⁶²Therefore, did you create an account through that exchange of give and take or did you finish something? ⁶³At that time, you feel as though you are making progress, but that progress is not really progress, but an accumulation in your account of karmic bondage.

⁶⁴What would the result of that be?

⁶⁵A soul bound by a bondage of karma will not be able to experience any relationship with the Father.

⁶⁶A soul who has the burden of karmic bondage will not be able to experience being completely stable in the stage of the pilgrimage of remembrance. ⁶⁷Such souls will always be weak in the subject of remembrance.

⁶⁸They may be clever and sensible in listening to knowledge and relating it, but they wouldn’t be essence-full.

⁶⁹They will be serviceable, but will not be a destroyers of obstacles.

⁷⁰They will make service grow, but that growth won't be through the right method.

⁷¹Such souls become speakers, but, because of their burden of karmic bondage, they’re unable to progress with speed, that is, they’re unable to experience the speed of the flying stage.

⁷²Both of these types of relationships of the body don't allow you to become a great renunciate.

⁷³Therefore, first of all, simply check your relationships of the body as to whether you have attachment to anyone in terms of dislike or in terms of attainment or support from them, that is, check that your intellect is not dependent.

⁷⁴If your intellect is repeatedly pulled to someone, or if there is dependence on someone, it proves that there is a burden.

⁷⁵Something that is burdened always bows down.

⁷⁶Therefore, this too becomes a burden of karma, and, thus even though you may not want it to your intellect does bow down there. ⁷⁷Do you understand?

⁷⁸As yet, Baba has only told you about one thing connected with the body.

⁷⁹Therefore, ask yourself: Have I renounced all relationships of the body?

⁸⁰Or, have I only renounced everything with the lokik, but then forged them with the alokik?

⁸¹Souls who are going to become karmateet, also have to renounce this bondage of karma.

⁸²So, for Brahmins, renunciation of these relationships is true renunciation.

⁸³So, do you now understand the definition of renunciation?

⁸⁴Now, Baba will tell you more later.

⁸⁵This is a weekly course of renunciation.

⁸⁶Has today's lesson become firm?

⁸⁷The speciality of Brahmins is to be great renunciates.

⁸⁸Fortune cannot be attained without renunciation.

⁸⁹You don’t think just because you have become Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, that you have renounced everything, do you?

⁹⁰The definition of renunciation is deeper for Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. ⁹¹Do you understand?

⁹²Achcha.

⁹³To those who are constantly selfless; to those who are benefactors for everyone and accumulate by using all attainments for service; to those who are constant bestowers, the children of the Bestower; to those who are selfless in terms of taking any temporary attainment; to the elevated souls who are great donors and bestowers of blessings the ones who constantly have good wishes and benevolent feelings for all, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

⁹⁴BapDada meeting teachers: Do you server souls constantly only have the one aim of becoming equal to the Father?

⁹⁵This is because you are seated on the seat of being equal to the Father.

⁹⁶Just as the Father became a Teacher and the Instrument to give you teachings, so too, server souls are fixed to perform the same duty, the same as that of the Father.

⁹⁷As are the Father's virtues, so too are the virtues of the instrument servers.

⁹⁸Therefore, first of all, check whether the words you speak are constantly equal to those of the Father.

⁹⁹Are the thoughts you create equal to those of the Father?

¹⁰⁰If not, then, after checking, change them before putting them into action.

¹⁰¹What will happen by checking yourself and then putting it into practice?

¹⁰²Just as the Father is loving to all and is also detached from all, even though He is the Server, so too, by serving in this way, you will be spiritually loved by all. ¹⁰³Together with this, you will also remain detached from everyone.

¹⁰⁴The main speciality of the Father is that He is detached to the same extent that He is loving.

¹⁰⁵Be as loving as the Father is in service, and constantly remain loving to the one Father with your intellect’s yoga and detached from everyone else.

¹⁰⁶This is called being a server equal to the Father.

¹⁰⁷Therefore, to be a teacher means to follow this speciality of the Father. ¹⁰⁸All of you are working very hard in service, but you do have to pay special attention, because, sometimes you have to be detached and, sometimes, loving. ¹⁰⁹If you don't do service with love, that is not right, whereas if you do service whilst being trapped in love, that too is not right.

¹¹⁰Therefore, do service with love, but do it whilst remaining detached, for only then will there be success in service.

¹¹¹If the success you receive is less than the effort you make, then something is definitely lacking in your balance of being loving and detached.

¹¹²Therefore, a server means someone who is loving to the Father and detached. ¹¹³That is the best stage of all. ¹¹⁴This is what is meant as a life like that of a lotus. ¹¹⁵This is why Shaktis are shown seated on a lotus.

¹¹⁶It is because they are as loving and detached as a lotus that they are portrayed sitting on a lotus.

¹¹⁷So, all you servers are seated on a lotus, are you not?

¹¹⁸A seat means your stage. ¹¹⁹That stage has been portrayed in the form of a seat.

¹²⁰However, it isn't that someone is accurately seated on a lotus.

¹²¹Therefore, always remain seated on the lotus-seat.

¹²²Always pay attention that the lotus never falls into the mud.

¹²³BapDada meeting Kumars: To belong to the Father in your kumar life is a sign of such great fortune!

¹²⁴Do you experience having been saved from being tied in so many bondages?

¹²⁵A kumar life means a life that is free from many bondages.

¹²⁶You don't have any type of bondage.

¹²⁷There shouldn't even be the bondage of the conciousness of the body.

¹²⁸All bondages come due to the conciousness of the body.

¹²⁹Therefore, constantly continue to move along whilst considering yourselves to be souls, brothers.

¹³⁰By having this awareness, you will be able to move forward in your kumar life and remain free from obstacles.

¹³¹There should not be any weakness even in your thoughts or dreams.

¹³²This is called being a destroyer of obstacles.

¹³³While walking and moving along, you should have the natural awareness of being souls. ¹³⁴When you look at others, look at the soul.

¹³⁵When you listen to something, listen whilst considering yourself to be a soul. ¹³⁶Never forget this lesson!

¹³⁷Kumars can go ahead a great deal in service. ¹³⁸However, whilst serving, if you forget to serve yourself, then obstacles come.

¹³⁹A kumar means to be a hard worker, but you do have to be free from obstacles. ¹⁴⁰There should be the balance of both serving the self and serving the world.

¹⁴¹Don't become so busy in service that you become careless in serving yourself, because you kumars can make yourselves move forward as much as you want.

¹⁴²Kumars also have physical strength.

¹⁴³You also have the power of determination. ¹⁴⁴This is why you can do whatever you want. ¹⁴⁵Because you have both these powers you can move forward. ¹⁴⁶However, you do need the art of balancing to take you into the stage of ascent.
