⁰> > 09-12-85 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Child and Master

²Today, BapDada is seeing His Shakti Army and whether this spiritual Shakti Army are conquerors of the mind and conquerors of the world.

³To be a conqueror of the mind means to be a conqueror of the waste and negative thoughts of the mind.

⁴Children who are victorious in this way claim a right to the kingdom of the world.

⁵This is why it is remembered: When you conquer the mind, you conquer the world.

⁶The more you keep the power of your thoughts, that is, your mind, under your control, to that extent you claim a right to the kingdom of the world.

⁷At this time, you are Godly children and it is only those who are the children now who will become masters of the world.

⁸You cannot become a master without becoming a child.

⁹Finish whatever limited intoxication you have of being a limited master and become a child, for only then will the child become a master.

¹⁰This is why, on the path of devotion, no matter how great a leader of the country someone may be, although he may be a master of wealth, a master of the family, whilst praying in front of the Father he would say “I am Your child!”.

¹¹They never say: I am such­and­such a master.

¹²You Brahmin children also become children and this is why you are now carefree emperors and masters of the world in the future, that is, you become emperors.

¹³The awareness of being a child and a master always gives you the experience of the incorporeal and egoless stage.

¹⁴To become a child means to transform the limited life.

¹⁵When you became a Brahmin, what was the first easiest of all lessons of your Brahmin life that you learnt?

¹⁶The children said, “Baba!” and the Father said, “Child!”.

¹⁷The lesson of this one word makes you knowledge­full.

¹⁸If you have studied the lesson of the one word, “Child”, you have learnt all the knowledge of not just this one world, but of all three worlds.

¹⁹No matter how knowledge­full people in today’s world are, they cannot know the knowledge of all three worlds.

²⁰In this aspect, those who are greatly knowledge­full are ignorant in front of you who have studied the one word.

²¹You have become master knowledge­full so easily.

²²Baba and the children; everything is merged in these two words.

²³When the whole tree is merged in the Seed, then to be a child (bachche) means to remain always safe (bachche hue) from Maya.

²⁴Remain safe from Maya, that is, always have the awareness that you are children.

²⁵Always have the awareness: “I am a child!”, that is, I have been saved.

²⁶Is this lesson difficult?

²⁷It is easy, is it not?

²⁸So, why do you forget it?

²⁹Some children think that they don’t want to forget, but they do forget.

³⁰Why do you forget?

³¹They reply: It is a sanskar of long­standing or it is a very old sanskar.

³²However, since you have died alive, what happens when you die?

³³You have the cremation ceremony, do you not?

³⁴It was when you had the cremation of the old that you then took a new birth.

³⁵If you have had the cremation ceremony, where did the old sanskars come from?

³⁶When a body is cremated all trace of name and form finishes.

³⁷So, if you speak of that person, you would say, “There was such­and­such a person.”

³⁸You would not say, “There is this person” (in the present tense).

³⁹So, when the body has been cremated, the body has finished.

⁴⁰What do you cremate in Brahmin life?

⁴¹You have the same body, but you cremate the old sanskars, the old memories, and your nature and this is why it is called dying alive.

⁴²When you have had the cremation ceremony, where do the old sanskars come from?

⁴³What would you call it if someone who has been cremated appeared in front of you?

⁴⁴You would call that a ghost.

⁴⁵So here too, if the sanskars that have been cremated are awakened again, what would you say? ⁴⁶That is also a ghost of Maya, is it not?

⁴⁷Ghosts are chased away. ⁴⁸They are not even spoken about.

⁴⁹You just deceive yourselves calling them your old sanskars.

⁵⁰If you like old things, then remember really old things which are in reality your original sanskars. ⁵¹Those were the sanskars of the middle period.

⁵²They are not the oldest of all. ⁵³The middle is the middle period and so to remember the middle means to be distressed in the middle of the ocean.

⁵⁴Therefore, never think of such weak things.

⁵⁵Always remember these two words: Child and master.

⁵⁶The awareness of being a child automatically brings the awareness of being a master. ⁵⁷Do you not know how to become a child?

⁵⁸Become a child, that is, become light of all burdens.

⁵⁹To say "Yours" sometimes and "mine" sometimes makes it difficult.

⁶⁰It is when you find work to be difficult that you say, "You know Your work!"

⁶¹When you find it easy you say, "mine".

⁶²To finish the consciousness of "mine" means to be a child and a master.

⁶³The Father says: Become a beggar. ⁶⁴Even that home, the body, is not yours.

⁶⁵You have taken it on loan. ⁶⁶Baba has given it to you for Godly service and made you a trustee.

⁶⁷It is God's valuable property entrusted to you.

⁶⁸For everything you had, you said, "This is Yours" and you gave it to the Father.

⁶⁹You made this promise, did you not?

⁷⁰Or have you forgotten? ⁷¹Did you make this promise?

⁷²Or is it half Yours and half mine?

⁷³What would happen if you used the things that you have already said are "Yours" (Baba's) whilst considering them to be yours?

⁷⁴Will you receive happiness through that? ⁷⁵Will you receive success?

⁷⁶Therefore, if you consider it to be something entrusted to you and that it belongs to Baba, you will automatically have the happiness and intoxication of being a child and so a master.

⁷⁷Do you understand?

⁷⁸So, always make this lesson firm.

⁷⁹You have made this lesson firm, have you not? ⁸⁰Or, will you forget it when you get back to your own places?

⁸¹Become those who don't forget anything. ⁸²Achcha.
