2Param pūjya bannē kā ādhār

1The basis of becoming supremely worthy of worship.

3Param pūjya , mahān ātmā banānē vālē śhrēṣhṭh pad kī|key prāpti karānē vālē śhiv bābā bōlē  :

2All of you have reached Madhuban, the great pilgrimage place, from everywhere in order to celebrate a meeting.

4Sabhī madhuban mahān tīrtha par mēlā manānē kē liē chārō̃ ōr sē pahũch gayē haĩ .

3As a memorial of this great pilgrimage place, even now there are gatherings at all the other pilgrimage places.

5Isī mahān tīrtha kē|K mēlē kī|key yādgār abhī bhī tīrtha sthānō̃ par mēlē lagtē rahtē haĩ .

4Even now you see and hear about the memorials of every elevated action of this time in the form of divine activities and songs.

6Isī samay kā her|har śhrēṣhṭh karma kā yādgār charitrō̃ kē|K rūp mē̃ , gītō̃ kē|K rūp mē̃ abhī bhī dēkh aur sun rahē hō .

5You elevated living souls see and hear about your images and divine activities. 6What elevated thoughts do you have in your intellect at such a time?

7Chaitanya śhrēṣhṭh ātmāyē̃ apnā chitra aur charitra dēkh sun rahī haĩ .

7You do believe that you were this, that you are this now and that you will become this once again every cycle, do you not?

8Aisē samay par buddhi mē̃ kyā śhrēṣhṭh saṅkalp chaltā hai  ? 9Samajhtē hō nā ki ham hī thē , ham hī ab haĩ . 10Aur kalp-kalp ham hī phir hōṅgē . 11Yah ‘ ‘ phir sē ’ ’ kī|key smr̥iti aur knowledge aur kisī bhī ātmā kō , mahān ātmā kō , dharm ātmā kō vā dharm pitā kō bhī nahī̃ hai .

8No soul, great soul, righteous soul or religious founder has the awareness or knowledge of "once again," whereas all of you Brahmin souls have such a clear awareness and knowledge of it that it is as though everything of 5000 years is just a matter of yesterday. 9You were this yesterday, you are this today and you will be this tomorrow.

12Lēkin āp sab brāhmaṇ ātmāō̃ kō itnī spaṣhṭ smr̥iti hai vā spaṣhṭ knowledge hai jaisē 5000 varṣh kī|key bāt kal kī|key bāt , hai .

10Therefore, the history of 5000 years is merged in the words "yesterday, today and tomorrow". 11Do you experience this easily and clearly? 12Do you think that someone else will be this?

13Kal thē āj haĩ phir kal hōṅgē .

13Or were you this and are this now?

14Tō āj aur kal in dōnō̃ śhabdō̃ mē 5000 varṣh kā itihās samāyā huā hai .

14Do you have a vision of your real elevated life through the non-living images?

15Itnā sahaj aur spaṣhṭ anubhav kartē hō  !

15Or do you think that those are the images of maharathis?

16Kōī hōṅgē vā ham hī thē , ham hī haĩ  !

16Or are they of all of you? 17In Bharat they salute 33 million deities.

17Jaṛ chitrō̃ mē̃ apnē chaitanya śhrēṣhṭh jīvan kā sākṣhātkār hōtā hai  ?

18If they don’t worship them, they all at least praise the progeny of you elevated Brahmins who are to become deities and the progeny of that progeny.

18Vā samajhtē hō ki yah mahārathiyō̃ kē|K chitra haĩ , vā āp sabkē haĩ  ?

19So just think how elevated the names of those who are the ancestors will be!

19Bhārat mē̃ 33 krōṛ dēvtāō̃ kō namaskār kartē haĩ arthāt āp śhrēṣhṭh brāhmaṇ sō dēvtāō̃ kē|K vanśh kē|K bhī vanśh , unkē bhī vanśh , sabhī kā pūjan nahī̃ tō gāyan tō kartē hī haĩ .

20And the worship of those ancestors will be so elevated. 21There is praise of 900,000. Before that, there is praise of 16,000 and before them there are the 108 and then the 8. And, even before that there is the dual-bead. 22It is numberwise.

20Tō sōchō jō svayã pūrvaj haĩ unahō̃ kā nām kitnā śhrēṣhṭh hōgā  !

23There is praise of everyone because you have all become the children of the Father, the Bestower of Fortune.

21Aur pūjan bhī pūrvajō̃ kā kitnā śhrēṣhṭh hōgā .

24It is because of this fortune that you are praised and worshipped.

229 lākh kā bhī gāyan hai .

25However, there are two types of worship.

23Ussē āgē 16 hajār kā gāyan hai phir 108 kā hai phir 8 kā hai .

26One is to worship with love according to the right method and the other is to worship just as a discipline.

24Ussē āgē yugal dānē kā hai .

27There is a difference between the two.

25Number-vār haĩ nā  !

28So, ask yourself which type of worship you souls are worthy of.

26Gāyan tō sabhī kā hai kyōṅki jō bhāgya vidhātā bāp kē|K bachchē banē , is bhāgya kē|K kāraṇ unhō̃ kā gāyan aur pūjan dōnō̃ hōtā hai lēkin pūjan mē̃ dō prakār kā pūjan hai .

29You were told earlier that some devotees perform worship out of fear so that the deities don't become upset. 30Some devotees even perform worship just for show. 31Some think that they have to fulfil the discipline or duty of devotion.

27Ēk hai prēm kī|key vidhi pūrvak pūjan aur dūsrā hai sirph niyam pūrvak pūjan .

32Whether it is their heart's desire or not, they just have to fulfil that responsibility.

28Dōnō̃ mē̃ antar haĩ nā .

33They do everything considering it to be their duty.

29Tō apnē sē pūchhō , maĩ kaun see|sī|C pūjya ātmā hū̃  ?

34All become one of the four types of devotees in one way or another.

30Pahlē bhī sunāyā thā ki kōī-kōī bhakta , dēvtā nārāz na hō jāē is bhay sē pūjā kartē haĩ .

35Here too, those who are to become deity souls and those who call themselves Brahma Kumars and Kumaris are of different types.

31Aur kōī-kōī bhakta dikhāvā mātra bhī pūjā kartē haĩ . 32Aur kōī-kōī samajhtē haĩ bhakti kā niyam vā pharja nibhānā hai . 33Chāhē dil hō yā na hō lēkin nibhānā hai . 34Aisē pharja samajh kartē haĩ .

36The number one worthy-of-worship souls constantly and easily move along with love and remembrance and service according to the right method, as yogi souls, and imbibe all virtues.

35Chārō̃ hī prakār kē|K bhakta kisī na kisī prakār sē bantē haĩ .

37They observe the right method and have success in all four subjects.

36Yahā̃ bhī dēkhō dēv ātmā bannē vālē , brahmākumār kumārī kahlānē vālē bhinn-bhinn prakār kē|K haĩ nā .

38The second number worthy-of-worship souls do not do everything according to the right method, but do everything considering it to be their discipline.

37Number one pūjya sadā sahaj snēh sē aur vidhi pūrvak yād aur sēvā vā yōgī ātmā , divyaguṇ dhāraṇ karnē vālī ātmā ban chal rahē haĩ .

39They fully follow all four subjects, but not by being the embodiment of the attainment of success who do everything with the right method.

38Chār subject dvārā vidhi aur siddhi prāpt kiyē huē haĩ .

40They feel that they have to do everything as a discipline; that they have to do that.

39Dūsrē number kē|K pūjya vidhi pūrvak nahī̃ lēkin niyam samajh karkē karē̃gē chār hī subject pūrē lēkin vidhi siddhi kē|K prāpti svarūp hō karkē nahī̃ .

41With this aim, they are continuing to move forward and experiencing attainment according to the discipline they are following.

40Lēkin niyam samajhkar chalnā hī hai , karnā hī hai , isī lakṣhya sē jitnā kāydā utnā phāydā prāpt kartē huē āgē baṛh rahē haĩ .

42The love of the heart (of the number one souls) makes everything natural and easy, whereas those who do everything as a discipline sometimes find it easy and at other times, difficult.

41Vah dil kā snēh svataḥ aur sahaj banātā hai .

43They sometimes have to make effort and at other times they experience that love.

42Aur niyam pūrvak vālō̃ kō kabhī sahaj kabhī muśhkil lagtā .

44The number one souls remain absorbed in love whereas the second number souls just have love.

43Kabhī mēhnat karnī paṛtī aur kabhī muhabbat kī|key anubhūti hōtī . 44Number one lavlīn rahtē , number dō lav|love mē̃ rahtē .

45The third number souls for the majority of the time observe the four subjects, not with their heart, but just for show.

45Number tīsrā majority samay chārō̃ hī subject dil sē nahī̃ lēkin dikhāvā mātra kartē haĩ .

46They sit in remembrance with the motive of becoming well-known for that. 47They also do a lot of showy service.

46Yād mē̃ bhī baiṭhē̃gē - nāmīgrāmī bannē kē|K bhāv sē .

48They even adopt a temporary form according to the time.

47Aisē dikhāvā mātra sēvā bhī khūb karē̃gē .

49However, although their head will be sharp, their heart will be empty.

48Jaisā samay vaisā alpkāl kā rūp bhī dhāraṇ kar lē̃gē lēkin dimāg tēj aur dil khālī . 49Number chauthā sirph ḍar kē|K mārē kōī kuchh kah na dē ki yah tō hai hī last number kā vā yah āgē chal nahī̃ saktā , aisē kōī is najar sē nahī̃ dēkhē .

50The fourth number souls do everything out of fear so that no one says anything to them, such as "This one is the last number soul", or "This one will not be able to continue", so that no one looks at them with that vision. 51They have become Brahmins and have renounced the shudra way of life but they don't want to be left out of either side.

50Brāhmaṇ tō ban hī gayē aur śhūdra jīvan bhī pasand nahī̃ aur brāhmaṇ jīvan mē̃ vidhi pūrvak chalnē kī|key himmat nahī̃ isliē majbūrī majadhār mē̃ ā gayē .

52They don’t like the shudra life but they don't have the courage to follow the Brahmin way of life according to the right method and so they are in the middle of the ocean out of compulsion.

51Aisē majbūrī vā ḍar kē|K mārē chaltē hī rahtē .

53They continue to move along in this way out of compulsion and fear.

52Aisē kabhī-kabhī apnē śhrēṣhṭh jīvan kā anubhav bhī kartē haĩ isliē is jīvan kō chhōṛ bhī nahī̃ saktē .

54In this way, they sometimes experience their life to be elevated and are therefore unable to let go of this life.

53Aisē kō kahē̃gē chauthē number kā pūjya ātmā .

55Such souls are said to be the fourth number worthy-of-worship souls.

54Tō unhō̃ kī|key pūjā kabhī-kabhī aur ḍar kē|K mārē majbūrī bhakta ban nibhānā hai , isī pramāṇ chaltī rahtī .

56Their worship is performed only sometimes and out of fear by devotees who are compelled to fulfil their responsibility.

55Aur dikhāvā vālē kī|key bhī pūjā dil sē nahī̃ lēkin dikhāvā mātra hōtī .

57The worship of those who do everything for show, is not from the heart either but just for show.

56Isī pramāṇ chaltē rahtē .

58This is how they carry on.

57Tō chār hī prakār kē|K pūjya dēkhē haĩ nā  !

59So, you saw all four types of worthy-of-worship souls.

58Jaisā abhī svayã banē̃gē vaisē hī satyug trētā kī|key royal family vā prajā usī number pramāṇ banēgī aur dvāpar kaliyug mē̃ aisē hī bhakta mālā banēgī .

60Whatever you yourself become now, so too, the golden and silver aged royal families and subjects will be created accordingly and the rosary of devotees in the copper and iron ages will also be created accordingly.

59Abhī apnē āp sē pūchhō - maĩ kaun  !

61Now ask yourself who you are.

60Vā chārō̃ mē̃ hī kabhī kahā̃ kabhī kahā̃ chakra lagātē hō  ?

62Or do you alternate between all the four types of souls?

61Phir bhī bhāgya vidhātā kē|K bachchē banē , pūjya tō jarūr banē̃gē . 62Nāmīgrāmī arthāt śhrēṣhṭh , pūjya 16 hajār tak number-vār ban jātē haĩ .

63Nevertheless, you have become the children of the Bestower of Fortune and so you will definitely become worthy of worship.

63Bākī 9 lākh last samay tak arthāt kaliyug kē|K pichhāṛī kē|K samay tak thōṛē bahut pūjya ban jātē haĩ . 64Tō samjhā gāyan tō sabkā hōtā hai .

64You become well-known, that is, those with elevated worship in the number up to 16,000. However, the 900,000 become a little worthy of worship up to the end, that is, up to the end of the iron age.

65Gāyan kā ādhār hai - bhāgya vidhātā bāp kā bannā .

65So do you understand that all are worthy of praise.

66Aur pūjan kā ādhār hai - chārō̃ subject mē̃ pavitratā , svachchhatā , sachchāī , saphāī .

66The basis of being worthy of praise is to become a child of the Father, the Bestower of Fortune.

67Aisē par bāpdādā bhī sadā snēh kē|K phūlō̃ sē pūjan arthāt śhrēṣhṭh māntē haĩ .

67However, the basis of becoming worthy-of-worship is to have purity, cleanliness, truthfulness and honesty in all four subjects.

68Parivār bhī śhrēṣhṭh māntē haĩ aur pūjan arthāt śhrēṣhṭh māntē haĩ .

68BapDada also devotes flowers of love to such souls, that is, He considers such souls to be elevated.

69Parivār bhī śhrēṣhṭh māntē haĩ aur viśhva bhī vāh-vāh kē|K nagāṛē bajāē unhō̃ kī|key man sē pūjā karēgā .

69The family also considers such souls to be elevated and the world will also beat the drums of their wonder and worship them with respect.

70Aur bhakta tō apnā īṣhṭ samajh dil mē̃ samāyēṅgē .

70Devotees will consider such souls to be their special deities and merge them in their hearts.

71Tō aisē pūjya banē hō  ? 72Jab hai hī parampitā .

71So have you become worthy of worship to this extent?

73Sirph pitā nahī̃ hai lēkin param hai tō banāyēṅgē bhī param nā  !

72Since He is the Supreme Father, not just the Father, He would definitely make you supreme too, would He not?

74Pūjya bannā baṛī bāt nahī̃ hai lēkin param pūjya bannā hai .

73It is not a big thing to be worthy of worship, but to become supremely worthy-of-worship is something else.

75Bāpdādā bhī bachchō̃ kō dēkh harṣhit hōtē haĩ .

74BapDada is also pleased to see you children.

76Muhabbat mē̃ mēhnat kō mahsūs na kar pahũch jātē haĩ . 77Abhī tō rest house mē̃ ā gayē nā  !

75You have reached here out of love, because when there is love you don't experience anything to be hard work.

78Tan-man dōnō̃ kē liē rest haĩ nā  !

76You have now reached the rest-house.

79Rest mānā sōnā nahī̃ .

77You have rest of both body and mind.

80Sōnā bannē kī|key rest mē̃ āyē haĩ . 81Pāraspurī mē̃ ā gayē hō nā  !

78Rest doesn't mean to go to sleep (sona - to sleep, gold), but you have come to rest in order to become gold.

82Jahā̃ saṅg hī pāras ātmāō̃ kā hai , vāyumaṇḍal hī sōnā banānē vālā hai .

79You have come to the land of divinity where you have the company of divine souls and into an atmosphere that makes you golden.

83Bātē̃ hī din rāt sōnā bannē kī haĩ .

80Everything spoken here day and night is for becoming gold.

84Achchhā –

81Achcha.

85Aisē sadā param pūjya ātmāō̃ kō , sadā vidhi dvārā śhrēṣhṭh siddhi kō pānē vālē , sadā mahān ban mahān ātmāyē̃ banānē vālē , svayã kō sadā sahaj aur svataḥ yōgī , nirantar yōgī snēh sampann yōgī , anuśāsan karnē vālē , aisī sarv śhrēṣhṭh ātmāō̃ kō , chārō̃ ōr kē|K ākārī rūpdhārī samīp bachchō̃ kō , aisē sākārī ākārī sarv sammukh upasthit huē bachchō̃ kō bāpdādā kā yād-pyār aur namastē .

82To such constantly and supremely worthy of worship souls; to those who attain elevated success with the right method; to those who constantly become great and make others into great souls; to those who constantly experience themselves to be constantly and easily natural yogis, constant yogis and yogis who are full of love; to the most elevated souls, to all the children everywhere who have adopted a subtle form and are close, to all the children who are present and face to face in the corporeal form or the subtle form, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

86’ ’ 87Dīdī-dādī jī sē 88Sabhī parampūjya hō nā  !

83BapDada speaking to Didi and Dadi: All of you are supremely worthy of worship, are you not?

89Pūjā achchhī hō rahī hai nā  !

84Very good worshipping is taking place, is it not?

90Bāpdādā kō tō ananya bachchō̃ par nāj hai .

85BapDada is proud of the very specially beloved children.

91Bāp kō nāj hai aur bachchō̃ mē̃ rāz haĩ .

86The Father is proud and the children have all secrets.

92Jō rāzyukt haĩ un bachchō̃ par bāp kō sadā nāj hai .

87The Father is always proud of the children who understand all secrets.

93Rāzyukt , yōgyukt , guṇ yukta … sabkā balance rakhnē vālē sadā bāp kī|key blessing kī|key chhāyā mē̃ rahnē vālē .

88Those who keep a balance of understanding all secrets (raazyukt), who are accurately linked in yoga (yogyukt) and who constantly use all virtues (gunyukt) constantly stay under the canopy of the Father's blessings.

94Blessing kī|key sadā hī varṣhā hōtī rahtī hai .

89Blessings are constantly being showered.

95Janmatē hī yah blessing kī|key varṣhā śhurū huī hai aur ant tak isī chhatrachhāyā kē|K andar golden phūlō̃ kī|key varṣhā hōtī rahēgī .

90This shower of blessings began as soon as you took birth, and the shower of golden flowers under this canopy of protection will continue till the end.

96Isī chhāyā kē|K andar chalē haĩ , palē haĩ aur ant tak chaltē rahē̃gē .

91You are moving along under this canopy, are being sustained by it and will continue to remain under it till the end.

97Sadā blessing kē|K golden phūlō̃ kī|key varṣhā .

92You constantly have the shower of blessings of golden flowers.

98Her|har kadam bāp sāth hai arthāt blessing sāth hai .

93The Father is with you at every step, that is, blessings are with you.

99Isī chhāyā mē̃ sadā rahē hō .

94(To Dadiji) You have constantly been under this canopy.

100 ( dādī sē ) śhurū sē athak hō athak bhav kā vardān hai isliē kartē bhī nahī̃ kartē , yah bahut achchhā .

95You have been tireless from the beginning and have received the blessing of being tireless and this is why it is as though you are doing everything and yet not doing anything.

101Phir bhī avyakt hōtē samay jimmēvārī kā tāj tō ḍālā hai nā .

96This is very good. 97You were given the crown of responsibility when Baba became avyakt.

102Inkō ( dīdī kō ) sākār kē|K sāthasāth sikhāyā aur āpkō avyakt hōnē samay second mē̃ sikhāyā .

98Baba taught this one (Didiji) together with sakar Baba, and Baba taught you in a second at the time of becoming avyakt.

103Dōnō̃ kō apnē-apnē tarīkē sē sikhāyā .

99Baba taught both of you for your own different ways.

104Yah bhī drama kā part hai .

100This too is a part in the drama.

105Achchhā  !

101Achcha.

106Vidāī kē|K samay 6 . 30 bajē subah

102At the time of taking leave at 6.30am:

107Saṅgamyug kī|key sab ghaṛiyā̃ good morning hī haĩ .

103All moments of the confluence age are a good morning because the whole of the confluence age is amrit vela.

108Kyōṅki saṅgamyug pūrā hī amr̥itvēlā hai .

104In terms of the cycle, the confluence age is amrit vela.

109Chakra kē|K hisāb sē saṅgamyug amr̥itvēlā huā nā .

105So every moment of the confluence age is a good morning.

110Tō saṅgamyug kā her|har samay goodmorning hī hai .

106So BapDada comes when it is good morning, and He also goes when it is good morning because when Baba comes, it changes from night time and becomes amrit vela. 107So He comes at amrit vela, and when He leaves it becomes the day. 108However, He only stays here during amrit vela. 109When it becomes day, He leaves and you all rule the kingdom as soon as it is morning, that is, when it is the day of the golden age, the day of Brahma.

111Tō bāpdādā ātē bhī goodmorning mē̃ haĩ , jātē bhī goodmorning mē̃ haĩ .

110The Father would become detached, would He not? 111In terms of the old world, it is always good morning.

112Kyōṅki bāp ātā hai tō rāt sē amr̥itvēlā ban gayā .

112It is always good and it will always remain good.

113Tō ātē bhī amr̥itvēlē mē̃ haĩ aur jab jātē haĩ tō din nikal ātā hai lēkin rahtā amr̥itvēlē mē̃ hī hai , din nikaltā tō chalā jātā hai .

113This is why you can say good morning, good night or good day: everything is good. 114So good morning to everyone in terms of the iron age and good morning in terms of the confluence age and so double good morning.

114Aur āp lōg savērā arthāt satyug kā din brahmā kā din , usmē̃ rājya kartē hō .

115Achcha. 116Question: What is the main foundation of Brahmin life? 117Answer: Awareness is the foundation of Brahmin life.

115Bāp tō nyārē hō jāyēṅgē nā .

118Constantly pay attention to your awareness.

116Tō purānī duniyā kē|K hisāb sē sadā hī goodmorning hai .

119Your awareness should always remain powerful and you will always remain victorious.

117Sadā hī śhubh hai aur sadā śhubh rahēgā .

120Just as breath is the foundation of the body, so too, awareness is the foundation of Brahmin life.

118Isliē śhubh savērā kahē̃ , śhubh rātri kahē̃ , śhubh din kahē̃ , sab śhubh hī śhubh hai .

121Always have the awareness that this Brahmin birth is a special birth; it is not ordinary.

119Tō sabhī kō kaliyug kē|K hisāb sē goodmorning aur saṅgamyug kē|K hisāb sē goodmorning tō goodmorning .

122You are the elevated actors with the highest-on-high Father. 123Therefore, no thought or word of an elevated actor can be ordinary.

120Achchhā - ōm śhānti . 121Praśhna  : brāhmaṇ jīvan mē̃ mukhya foundation kaun sā hai  ?

124Blessing: May you be a true tapaswi and server whilst keeping the knowledge of the whole tree in your awareness.

122Uttar  : smr̥iti hī brāhmaṇ jīvan mē̃ foundation hai .

125On the path of devotion, it is shown that a tapaswi does tapasya whilst sitting under a tree.

123Smr̥iti kā sadā attention .

126There is significance in this.

124Smr̥iti sadā samarth rahē tō sadā vijayī haĩ .

127You children reside among the roots of the world tree.

125Jaisē śharīr kē liē śhvāṅs foundation hai aisē brāhmaṇ jīvan kē liē ‘ smr̥iti ’ foundation hai , sadā smr̥iti rahē̃ - yah brāhmaṇ janm viśhēṣh janm hai , sādhāraṇ nahī̃ .

128By sitting under the tree, you naturally have the knowledge of the whole tree in your intellect. 129So, whilst keeping the knowledge of the whole tree in your awareness look at the tree as a detached observer. 130This will give you intoxication and happiness and by doing this your battery will be charged.
