¹The definition of a renunciate and a great renunciate.

²BapDada is looking amongst all the Brahmin children to see which children are complete renunciates.

³There are three types of children: 1) Renunciates, 2) Great renunciates 3) Complete renunciates. ⁴All three are renunciates, but they are numberwise.

⁵Renunciates are those who have renounced, through knowledge and yoga, the temporary attainments they have attained from their old relationships and old connections of the old world and have adopted Brahmin life, that is, a yogi life in their thoughts. ⁶This means, they have imbibed the fact that a yogi life is more elevated than their old life that it is more important to attain permanent attainments than temporary attainments and, on the basis of considering these to be essential, have started practising knowledge and yoga.

⁷They have claimed a right to be called Brahma Kumars and Kumaris.

⁸However, even after becoming Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, they haven't completely transformed their old relationships, thoughts and sanskars but are constantly engaged in battling to transform them.

⁹One moment they will have Brahmin sanskars and the next moment they will have the form of battling to transform their old sanskars.

¹⁰This is called becoming a renunciate, but not having complete transformation.

¹¹They simply think that to adopt renunciation means to be greatly fortunate. ¹²They lack the courage to put it into practice.

¹³Because their sanskars of carelessness repeatedly emerge, together with thinking about renunciation, they also become those who love comfort.

¹⁴They understand everything, they are moving along, they are making effort, they cannot leave this Brahmin life and they have the determination to remain a Brahmin.

¹⁵Even though Maya and their relations who are influenced by Maya are trying to pull them towards their old life, they are very firm in their thought that Brahmin life is more elevated.

¹⁶They have very firm faith in the intellect in this aspect.

¹⁷However, two types of obstacle prevent them from making progress to become complete renunciates.

¹⁸What are they?

¹⁹First, they do not have constant courage, that is, they lack the power to face obstacles.

²⁰Second there is the form of carelessness of moving along whilst loving comfort.

²¹That is, they are studying all four subjects - study, remembrance, divine virtues (dharna) and service, and are progressing whilst studying, but in comfort (at their own pace).

²²They lack the form of a Shakti, one who has all the weapons for that complete transformation.

²³They are loving, but do not have the form of power.

²⁴They’re unable to stabilise in the form of a master almighty authority.

²⁵This is why they’re unable to become great rennunciates.

²⁶These are renunciate souls.

²⁷Great renunciates (mahatyagi) are those who constantly have the courage and enthusiasm to transform their relationships, thoughts and sanskars.

²⁸They are constantly detached from the old world and old relations.

²⁹The experience of Great renunciate souls is as though the old world and old relations are dead to them.

³⁰They don't have to battle for this.

³¹They are constantly stable in the stage of a loving, co-operative, server who is an embodiment of power. ³²So what else remains?

³³They receive the fruit of the fortune of a great renunciate and become mahagyani (great knowledgeable ones), mahayogi (great yogis) and elevated servers.

³⁴However, sometimes they use the right to this fortune in a wrong form of intoxication.

³⁵Although they have completely renounced their past life, they haven't yet renounced all feeling of having renounced everything.

³⁶They have broken the iron chains, and have become golden-aged from iron-aged, but, sometimes, the transformation becomes bound by the golden chain of a beautiful life. ³⁷What is that golden chain?

³⁸"I" and "Mine". ³⁹I am a very good knowledgeable soul!

⁴⁰I am a gyani and yogi soul!

⁴¹This beautiful chain sometimes hinders them from becoming free from all bondage.

⁴²There are three types of activities. ⁴³1) The activities of worldly relations and business.

⁴⁴2) The activities connected with your body. ⁴⁵3) The activities of service. ⁴⁶Renunciates have gone beyond the worldly activities.

⁴⁷However, they still remain busy in the activities of their body and looking after themselves, or they are influenced by the nature of their body consciousness, and, because of this nature, they repeatedly lose courage. ⁴⁸They themselves speak about it, saying that they do understand it and that they even want to stop doing it, but such is their nature!

⁴⁹This too is the activity of body consciousness and of the body, due to which they’re unable to become an embodiment of power and free from that activity. ⁵⁰This is in relation to renunciates.

⁵¹However, great renunciates become free from their worldly activities and the activities of the body, but, instead of becoming detached from the activities of service, they sometimes become trapped in that. ⁵²Such souls are not even troubled by body consciousness because, day and night, they are absorbed in service. ⁵³They have gone beyond the activities of the body.

⁵⁴Through the fortune of both types of renunciation, they have become gyani and yogi and have attained powers and virtues.

⁵⁵They have become very well-known souls in the Brahmin family.

⁵⁶They have become VIPs amongst the servers. ⁵⁷They have begun to be showered with flowers of praise. ⁵⁸They have become souls worthy of respect and praise, but they have also become trapped in the expansion of the activities of service.

⁵⁹Instead of becoming a great donor who donates all these attainments, they accept all of that for themselves.

⁶⁰Therefore, "I" and "Mine" become a golden chain of pure motives. ⁶¹Their motives and words of not saying anything for themselves, but for service, are very pure.

⁶²"I myself am not saying that I am a worthy teacher, but people do ask for me." ⁶³"Students say that only I should do that service."

⁶⁴“I am very detached, but others attach me very much to that.” ⁶⁵What would you call this?

⁶⁶Were they looking at the Father or were they seeing you? ⁶⁷They like your knowledge, they like your way of serving, but where did the Father go?

⁶⁸You made the Father a Resident of Paradham! ⁶⁹There has to be such renunciation of even this fortune, that you are not visible, just the Father is visible.
