Avyakt murli for Friday 20 January 1984

⁰> > 20-01-84 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban ¹Become a great donor and a bestower of blessings. ²Today, BapDada is seeing in all the children the personality of purity, the royalty of being an embodiment of all attainments and the reality of being a spiritual embodiment of remembrance. ³He is seeing all the children crowned with the sparkling light of the personality of purity.

⁴On the one side He is seeing the gathering of the children who are embodiments of all attainments.

⁵On the other side are the souls of the world who always lack something and are never embodiments of attainment.

⁶Even though they constantly have all temporary attainments, they are never content. ⁷They always want to attain something or other. ⁸They constantly chant, "I want this, I want that." ⁹They are running around.

¹⁰They are thirsty and constantly wandering around here and there with the desire to attain something from body, mind, wealth or other people.

¹¹They especially want three things and make all sorts of effort for them. ¹²Firstly, they want power, of the body, of wealth, of status or of their intellect.

¹³Secondly, they also want to perform devotion. ¹⁴They want to be able to perform devotion with an honest heart for a few moments. ¹⁵Devotee souls want to perform such devotion.

¹⁶Thirdly, since the copper age, many souls have been seeing the world of sorrow and calling out. ¹⁷And, because of sorrow and peacelessness, they have been considering temporary attainment to be like a mirage, and therefore, want liberation from the world of sorrow and the bondage of sorrow of the vices. ¹⁸Devotees want devotion, others want power and others want liberation. ¹⁹Who are the jewels of contentment who can give such discontented souls a drop of happiness, peace, purity and knowledge and enable them to attain something?

²⁰Are you this? ²¹You are the children of the Merciful Father.

²²The Father has mercy that being the children of the Bestower, you still constantly cry out "I want this!

²³I want that! ²⁴I want this!" for temporary attainment.

²⁵Similarly, do you children, who are master bestowers and embodiments of attainment, feel mercy for the souls of the world? ²⁶Do you have the enthusiasm to help your brothers who are wandering around so much chasing after temporary desires?

²⁷Children of the Bestower, cast your vision of mercy and compassion on your brothers. ²⁸Become great donors.

²⁹Become bestowers of blessings.

³⁰Become sparkling jewels of contentment and make everyone content.

³¹Nowadays, people call out to the goddess of contentment a great deal because where there is contentment, nothing is lacking. ³²On the basis of contentment one is also able to experience having plenty of physical wealth.

³³If you give even just two rupees to someone who is content, that is equivalent to a hundred thousand. ³⁴If someone is a millionaire and not content, then that million is not a million, for he is a beggar of desires. ³⁵Desires mean distress. ³⁶Desires (ichcha) can never make you become good (achcha) because although your perishable desires may be fulfilled, they also give birth to many other desires.

³⁷This is why you become trapped in desires like being trapped in a spiders web. ³⁸You cannot become free even though you want to.

³⁹Therefore, make your brothers who are trapped in such a web ignorant of even knowing about perishable desires. ⁴⁰To be distressed (pareshaan) means to go beyond your pride (shaan). ⁴¹All of you are children of God, children of the Bestower and all attainments are your birthright.

⁴²When you lose your pride, you become distressed. ⁴³Show such souls their elevated pride. ⁴⁴Do you understand what you have to do? ⁴⁵All you double­foreign children are going back to your respective places.

⁴⁶What will you do when you get back? ⁴⁷Become great donors and bestowers of blessings and fill the aprons of all souls with the attainment of peace and happiness. ⁴⁸This is the thought you are going back with, is it not? ⁴⁹Seeing the children's courage and love, BapDada gives the children multimillion­fold love in return.

⁵⁰Those who live in faraway lands have come closer through their recognition and attainment, whereas those of this land have become distant from recognising and attaining.

⁵¹Therefore, double­foreign children, with the determination of being an embodiment of attainment and the enthusiasm of contentment, always continue to move forward. ⁵²The Bestower of Fortune, the Bestower of All Attainments, is always with you. ⁵³Achcha. ⁵⁴To such merciful children of the Merciful Father; to the children who are jewels of contentment and who make everyone full of the treasure of contentment; to the children who are always an embodiment of all attainments and who remain well­wishers for others with the good wishes to make them attain something; to those who make everyone ignorant of the knowledge of perishable desires; to the all­powerful children BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

⁵⁵Seeing the double­foreign children, BapDada says: ⁵⁶If anyone in this group is told to stay here, are you ever ready?

⁵⁷None of you has any bondage back home, do you? ⁵⁸This will also happen.

⁵⁹A time will come when everyone's ticket will be cancelled and you will be made to stay here. ⁶⁰At such a time, no one will want to take the salvation (facilities).

⁶¹Do all of you remember how you spent those four days when Brahma Baba became avyakt?

⁶²Was the building big enough? ⁶³Did you cook anything? ⁶⁴So, how did you spend those four days?

⁶⁵The days of destruction will also be spent just like that. ⁶⁶You were absorbed in love at that time, were you not?

⁶⁷Completion will also take place in a stage just like that where you are absorbed in love.

⁶⁸You will then stay here on the mountains and do tapasya.

⁶⁹You will see the whole of destruction with your third eye.

⁷⁰You are carefree in this way, are you not?

⁷¹You don't have any worries about your building, your family or your work. ⁷²You are always carefree. ⁷³There is no question as to what will happen. ⁷⁴Whatever happens will be good.

⁷⁵This is called being carefree. ⁷⁶You might remember the building of your centre, or your bank balance.

⁷⁷Nothing should be remembered.

⁷⁸Yours is true wealth, whether it has been used for the building or is in the bank. ⁷⁹You will receive your wealth multiplied multimillion­fold.

⁸⁰You have insured everything, have you not?

⁸¹Dust will turn to dust and you will receive your wealth multiplied multimillion­fold. ⁸²What else do you want? ⁸³True wealth can never go to waste.

⁸⁴Do you understand? ⁸⁵Constantly remain carefree in this way.

⁸⁶“I don't know what will happen to the centre afterwards? ⁸⁷What will happen to our home?”

⁸⁸Let there not be this question.

⁸⁹All of it has already been used in a worthwhile way. ⁹⁰You no longer have any question as to whether it will be used in a worthwhile way or not.

⁹¹You have already willed it in advance.

⁹²When someone has made his will beforehand, he remains carefree. ⁹³All of you have willed your every breath, thought, second, wealth and body, have you not?

⁹⁴You cannot use for yourself anything you have already willed.

⁹⁵You cannot use even a second or a penny without shrimat. ⁹⁶It all belongs to God. ⁹⁷Therefore, souls cannot use it for themselves or for other souls. ⁹⁸You can use it according to the directions you receive.

⁹⁹Otherwise, it is being dishonest with the treasures you have been entrusted with.

¹⁰⁰If you use even a little bit of your wealth without direction, then that wealth will pull you towards where it has been used.

¹⁰¹The wealth will pull the mind and the mind will pull the body and distress you. ¹⁰²So, you have willed it all, have you not? ¹⁰³If you use everything according to the directions you receive, there is no sin and no burden.

¹⁰⁴You are free from that. ¹⁰⁵You do understand the directions, do you not? ¹⁰⁶You have received directions for everything. ¹⁰⁷It is clear, is it not?

¹⁰⁸You never become confused, do you?

¹⁰⁹You never become confused as to whether you should do something or not for a particular task, do you? ¹¹⁰Whenever there is a little confusion, have it verified by the instruments. ¹¹¹Or, if your stage is powerful, then the touchings you receive at amrit vela will always be accurate. ¹¹²Don't sit at amrit vela with mixed feelings in your mind, but sit with a plain intellect and the touchings will be accurate.

¹¹³Whenever some children have problems, they sit only with their own feelings in mind.

¹¹⁴“This is what I should do. ¹¹⁵That is what should happen. ¹¹⁶In my opinion, this is fine.” ¹¹⁷Therefore, the touchings too will not be accurate.

¹¹⁸They then only receive a response of the thoughts of their own mind.

¹¹⁹This is why, somewhere or the other, there is no success. ¹²⁰Then they become confused as to the direction they received at amrit vela, and thereby don't understand why something happened and why they weren't successful.

¹²¹However, they had mixed feelings in their own mind and so they just received the fruit of those feelings.

¹²²What fruit would you receive from the dictates of your own mind?

¹²³There would only be confusion, would there not?

¹²⁴This is called willing even the thoughts of your mind.

¹²⁵This is my thought, but what does Baba say? ¹²⁶Achcha.

¹²⁷Questions from the double foreigners and BapDada's answers: Question: What should we do when a centre is facing a big obstacle?

¹²⁸Answer: When a centre faces any problem, don't become afraid on seeing the obstacle.

¹²⁹For instance, when the biggest obstacle comes, when a very good person becomes anti and causes a disturbance in your service, what would you do then? ¹³⁰Would you become afraid?

¹³¹It is one thing to have mercy for that soul with benevolent feelings, for that is a different matter.

¹³²However, when your stage fluctuates or when you have waste thoughts, that is called having an upheaval. ¹³³Therefore, don't create a world of thoughts.

¹³⁴Even a thought should not make you shake.

¹³⁵This is called an unshakeable and immovable stage. ¹³⁶You mustn't even become careless saying that it is nothing new.

¹³⁷Do service, be merciful towards that soul, but also do not come into upheaval.

¹³⁸Therefore, neither be careless nor have any type of ill feeling.

¹³⁹No matter what atmosphere or environment you are in, always remain unshakeable and immovable. ¹⁴⁰Sometimes, when an instrument gives you advice, don't become confused about that.

¹⁴¹Don't think: Why is this one saying that? ¹⁴²Or, how will this happen?

¹⁴³Those who are instruments are already experienced. ¹⁴⁴Of those who are actually going through something, some are new and others may be a little older in knowledge, but when a situation comes in front of them, then, because of that situation, their intellect is not clear enough for them to understand the beginning, the middle and the end of the situation. ¹⁴⁵At that time they can only understand the present. ¹⁴⁶Therefore, because they just see the present, the beginning and the middle is not clear enough at that time and so they become confused.

¹⁴⁷Even if any directions are not clear, don't become confused.

¹⁴⁸Tell them patiently that you will try to understand them.

¹⁴⁹Give them a little time.

¹⁵⁰At that time, don't become confused and say: Not this, not that.

¹⁵¹Don't do this. ¹⁵²Double­ foreigners are mostly free­minded and they therefore also say “No” with a very free mind.

¹⁵³Therefore, when they tell you even a small thing, first of all think about it seriously.

¹⁵⁴It definitely has one significance or another hidden within it. ¹⁵⁵You can ask them: What is the significance of this? ¹⁵⁶What would be the benefit of this?

¹⁵⁷Explain it to me clearly. ¹⁵⁸You can tell them this. ¹⁵⁹However, never refuse a direction.

¹⁶⁰It is because you refuse that you become confused. ¹⁶¹Baba is giving this little special attention to you double foreigners.

¹⁶²Otherwise, what would happen is that you won’t try to understand the directions of your instrument sisters and will fluctuate. ¹⁶³Then, seeing you, those for whom you are instruments will also develop those sanskars.

¹⁶⁴Then, sometimes one will sulk and at other times the other will sulk.

¹⁶⁵Then this game will continue at the centre all the time. ¹⁶⁶Do you understand?

¹⁶⁷Secondly, teachers should never think that we belong to another religion and have come here. ¹⁶⁸This is something new ones say. ¹⁶⁹You are all older ones and you have therefore become instruments.

¹⁷⁰It is not that you who belonged to a different religion have come to this religion.

¹⁷¹You belonged to this religion and you have come to this religion.

¹⁷²“Us and them are separate”; let there not be the thought even in your dreams.

¹⁷³It is not that Bharat is separate from the foreign lands.

¹⁷⁴This thought will bring about duality in unity.

¹⁷⁵Then it becomes “us and them”. ¹⁷⁶What would there be where there is “us and them”?

¹⁷⁷There would only be conflict.

¹⁷⁸This is why you are all united.

¹⁷⁹BapDada refers to you as double foreigners, just symbolically; but it isn't that you are separate.

¹⁸⁰Don't think that because you are double foreigners you are different and those of this land are different. ¹⁸¹No. ¹⁸²Since you have taken a Brahmin birth, what have you become through your Brahmin birth?

¹⁸³All Brahmins belong to the one religion; there is no question of double foreigners or those of this land in it. ¹⁸⁴We all belong to the one Brahmin religion.

¹⁸⁵We all have a Brahmin life and are all instruments in the one Father's service. ¹⁸⁶Never use the language: These are our thoughts and the thoughts of you from India are like this. ¹⁸⁷This language is wrong.

¹⁸⁸Never speak such words even by mistake. ¹⁸⁹Of course even the people of Bharat themselves can have different ideas; that is a different matter.

¹⁹⁰However, never bring about a difference between Bharat and foreign lands. ¹⁹¹Never think: Well, it is always like this with us foreigners. ¹⁹²No. ¹⁹³Never say: Our nature is like that anyway.

¹⁹⁴No. ¹⁹⁵Never think in this way. ¹⁹⁶There is one Father and all of us belong to the one Father.

¹⁹⁷Whatever language the instrument teachers speak, others will speak the same language.

¹⁹⁸Therefore, speak every word in a very tactful manner. ¹⁹⁹Be yogyukt and yuktiyukt at the same time. ²⁰⁰Some try to go ahead a great deal in yoga, but their actions are not yuktiyukt. ²⁰¹Let there be balance in both.

²⁰²The sign of being yogyukt is to be yuktiyukt. ²⁰³Blessing: May you be very powerful and surrender even the slightest trace of body consciousness.

²⁰⁴The biggest weakness is body consciousness.

²⁰⁵A subtle trace of body consciousness is very big. ²⁰⁶To surrender body consciousness means to surrender it with all its traces and its progeny. ²⁰⁷Only those who surrender in this way become the very powerful ones. ²⁰⁸If you keep a trace of body consciousness hidden inside you, and you consider arrogance to be self­respect, then, although you may see temporary victory, it means defeat for a long time.

²⁰⁹Slogan: “I didn't have the desire but I just liked it.”

²¹⁰This is also a stage of being in a life of bondage. ²¹¹* * * O M S H A N T I* * *
