¹Receiving blessings by keeping balance.

²Today, the Father, the Ocean of Love, has come into this happy gathering of love to give the return of love and remembrance of the children who are embodiments of love and embodiments of remembrance. ³This happy gathering of spiritual love is the gathering where the meeting of spiritual relationship takes place.

⁴This can be experienced only at this time in the whole cycle.

⁵At no time, apart from this one birth, can you attain this spiritual love from the spiritual Father.

⁶This spiritual love gives spirits true comfort.

⁷It shows them the true path.

⁸It enables them to attain all the true attainments.

⁹Did you ever even think that the face­to­face spiritual meeting of souls with the Supreme Soul would take place on this physical earth, in this birth and in such an easy way?

¹⁰Just as you heard for the Father that He is the Highest on High, and that He is very bright, that He is the biggest of all, in the same way, because you thought that the method to meet Him is difficult and required a lot of practice, you became disheartened.

¹¹However, the Father put hope into the children who had become disheartened.

¹²He made disheartened children powerful. ¹³They asked: When will we meet Him, and He enabled them to experience the meeting now.

¹⁴He gave them the right to all His property.

¹⁵Now, you souls who have a right, know your rights, do you not?

¹⁶Do you know them very well or do you still have to know them?

¹⁷Today, seeing the children, BapDada was having a heart­to­heart conversation: All children have constant faith, they also have love; they have that love for remembrance and enthusiasm for service.

¹⁸Their aim is also elevated.

¹⁹If you ask any of them what they will become, everyone would say that they are going to become Lakshmi­Narayan.

²⁰None of them say that they will become Rama­Sita.

²¹In their heart, they would not like to be part of the rosary of 16,000. Everyone has the enthusiasm to become the beads of the rosary of 108. In service and in study, no one considers himself or herself to be any less worthy than anyone else.

²²Nevertheless, you become numberwise in constantly experiencing the stage of: always having a stable stage, always experiencing the flying stage, always being lost in the One, being constantly detached from your body and the temporary attainments of the body and always forgetting all consciousness of perishable things.

²³Why is this?

²⁴BapDada was seeing the special reason for this.

²⁵What reason did He see?

²⁶The reason is of just one word.

²⁷You know everything. ²⁸Everyone has attained everything. ²⁹You have knowledge of the method and you also have knowledge of how to succeed.

³⁰You have knowledge of both action and its fruit, but you don’t know how to maintain a constant balance.

³¹It is this balance that doesn’t allow you to observe the Godly principles at the right time.

³²This is why you don’t receive elevated blessings from BapDada and all the elevated souls in every thought and every deed. ³³You have to make effort. ³⁴You don't experience success easily.

³⁵Of what do you forget the balance?

³⁶One is remembrance and service.

³⁷To serve whilst in remembrance is the balance of remembrance and service.

³⁸However, you remain busy in service and then stay in remembrance according to the time.

³⁹If you have time, you remember Baba, otherwise, you just consider service to be remembrance ­ This is called imbalance. ⁴⁰One thing is to say service itself is remembrance, and the other is that there is remembrance in service.

⁴¹This slight difference in the method changes the result.

⁴²Then, when you are asked the result of what your percentage of remembrance was, what do you say?

⁴³You were so busy in service that you didn't remember anything else. ⁴⁴You didn't have time for anything else.

⁴⁵Or, you say: The service was of the Father, and so, of course I was remembering the Father anyway.

⁴⁶However, whatever time you spent in service with that deep love, did you also have the powerful experience of remembrance?

⁴⁷To the extent that you had self­respect in service, in the same way, did you have the feeling of humility?

⁴⁸Was there this balance?

⁴⁹To think that you did very great service very well is of course good self­respect, but let there be as much humility as there is self­respect.

⁵⁰Karavanhar Father became the instrument and made the service happen through you.

⁵¹This is being a humble instrument.

⁵²You became an instrument, very good service took place, there was expansion and you became an embodiment of success ­ this self­respect is good. ⁵³However, let there not be just self­respect. ⁵⁴Let there also be the balance of humility.

⁵⁵This balance will easily and constantly make you an embodiment of success.

⁵⁶Self­respect is also essential.

⁵⁷Not arrogance of the body, but self­respect.

⁵⁸However, because of not having a balance between self­respect and humility, self­respect changes into arrogance of the self.

⁵⁹There should be happiness when service takes place and there is success: “Wah Baba!

⁶⁰You made me an instrument. ⁶¹I didn't do it”. ⁶²The consciousness of "I", changes self­respect into arrogance of the self.

⁶³Those who maintain a balance between remembrance and service also maintain a balance of self­respect and humility.

⁶⁴So, do you understand what makes the balance fluctuate?

⁶⁵In the same way, because you are wearing the crown of responsibility, you have to fulfil total responsibility in every task.

⁶⁶Whether it is the lokik or the alokik household or the household of Godly service, in fulfilling the respective responsibilities of both households, remain as detached as you are loving.

⁶⁷Let there be this balance.

⁶⁸It is essential to fulfil every responsibility, but the more responsibility you have, the more you should remain double­light.

⁶⁹Whilst fulfilling your responsibility, remain detached from the burden of it.

⁷⁰This is known as being loving to the Father.

⁷¹Don't be afraid: What should I do? ⁷²There is so much responsibility.

⁷³Should I do this or not?

⁷⁴What should I do? ⁷⁵It is very difficult to do this and also do that.

⁷⁶To experience this means to have a burden.

⁷⁷So that is not being double­light.

⁷⁸To be double­light means to be detached.

⁷⁹Let there be no burden of upheaval in any responsible action.

⁸⁰This is called being one who has the balance of being loving and detached.

⁸¹Secondly, whilst moving along in effort, whilst experiencing attainment through the effort you make, you become very happy and intoxicated with that attainment. ⁸²That's it!

⁸³I have attained everything. ⁸⁴I have experienced everything.

⁸⁵I have become a mahavir. ⁸⁶I have become a maharathi. ⁸⁷I have become gyani and yogi.

⁸⁸I have become a server.

⁸⁹This attainment is very good, but sometimes there is also carelessness in the intoxication of this attainment.

⁹⁰What is the reason for this? ⁹¹You became gyani, yogi, and a server, but do you experience the flying stage in every action?

⁹²For as long as you live, you have to be in the flying stage at every step.

⁹³With this aim, was there newness in what you did today? ⁹⁴Or, have you understood the point you have reached now to be the limit of perfection?

⁹⁵In making effort, it is necessary to have the intoxication and happiness of the attainment, but it is also essential to experience progress or the flying stage at every step.

⁹⁶If there isn't this balance, then carelessness will not allow you to take blessings.

⁹⁷Therefore, in your effort­making life, let there be the intoxication of how much you have attained, and also the experience of progress at every step.

⁹⁸This is called balance.

⁹⁹Let there always be this balance.

¹⁰⁰Don't think that you know everything and that you have become experienced, that you are moving along very well and have become good.

¹⁰¹This is very good, but you still have to make further progress. ¹⁰²Perform such special actions and become an example for all souls.

¹⁰³Don't forget this.

¹⁰⁴Do you understand in which things in which you have to maintain balance?

¹⁰⁵Through this balance you automatically continue to receive blessings.

¹⁰⁶So, do you understand why there is numberwise?

¹⁰⁷Some become careless in the balance of one thing and others in the balance of something else.

¹⁰⁸Residents of Bombay, you are not careless, are you?

¹⁰⁹You are those who keep a balance in every situation, are you not?

¹¹⁰You are clever in the art of keeping a balance, are you not?

¹¹¹Balance is also an art.

¹¹²You are perfect in this art, are you not?

¹¹³Bombay is called the land full of wealth.

¹¹⁴So, you are also full of the wealth of balance and the wealth of blessings, are you not?

¹¹⁵You have the blessing of Nardesavar.

¹¹⁶What speciality will those from Bombay reveal?

¹¹⁷There are many multimillionaires in Bombay.

¹¹⁸So, it is essential for those from Bombay especially to give those souls the experience of what it means to be an imperishable spiritual multimillionaire, a master of the mines of all treasures.

¹¹⁹Give them this experience. ¹²⁰They are simply masters of perishable wealth.

¹²¹Tell those people the importance of these imperishable treasures and make them full of all imperishable wealth.

¹²²They should feel that these treasures are elevated imperishable treasures.

¹²³You are doing such service, are you not?

¹²⁴In the eyes of those with this wealth, they should experience you to be elevated souls who have imperishable wealth.

¹²⁵Do you understand?

¹²⁶Don't think: They don't have it in their part! ¹²⁷At the end, their part is also of awakening.

¹²⁸They will not come into relationship with you, but they will be in contact with you.

¹²⁹So, the time has now come to awaken such souls.

¹³⁰Therefore, awaken them, awaken them very well because they are asleep in the sleep of the intoxication of their wealth.

¹³¹You repeatedly have to awaken those who are intoxicated.

¹³²They won't awaken by waking them up just once.

¹³³So now, introduce the experience of imperishable wealth to the souls who are sleeping in the sleep of intoxication.

¹³⁴Do you understand?

¹³⁵Those of you from Bombay are conquerors of Maya, are you not?

¹³⁶You have thrown Maya into the ocean, have you not?

¹³⁷Have you thrown her right down into the ocean or is she still on the surface?

¹³⁸If something is still on the surface, it’s brought back to the shore by the waves.

¹³⁹If you have thrown something to the bottom, it is sacrificed.

¹⁴⁰So Maya doesn't come back to the shore, does she? ¹⁴¹The residents of Bombay have to become examples in every situation. ¹⁴²Be an example in every speciality.

¹⁴³People come from far away to see the beauty of Bombay.

¹⁴⁴In the same way, they will come from far away to see you. ¹⁴⁵Become an example of the practical form of every virtue.

¹⁴⁶If you want to see simplicity in life, go to this centre and see this family.

¹⁴⁷If you want to see tolerance, go to this centre and see this family.

¹⁴⁸If you want to see balance, see these special souls.

¹⁴⁹You are those who perform such wonders, are you not? ¹⁵⁰Those from Bombay have to give a double return.

¹⁵¹One is of the sustenance you have received from Jagadamba Maa and the other is of the special sustenance received from Father Brahma.

¹⁵²Those from Bombay have received special sustenance from Jagadamba Maa.

¹⁵³So Bombay will have to give that much return, will it not?
