Avyakt murli for Thursday 19 December 1985

⁰> > 19-12-85 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Follow the Father.

²Today, BapDada has come to celebrate a meeting in order to give all the loving children the response of their love.

³Bodiless BapDada has to take the support of a body.

⁴Why?

⁵In order to make you children bodiless too.

⁶Just as the Father is bodiless and gives the experience of the bodiless form, of being bodiless while in a body, in the same way, all of you, whilst living your life, remain stable in the bodiless, soul conscious stage while in a body and, by being karavanhar (the one who inspires), make your body perform actions.

⁷That body is karanhar (the one that does) and you, the soul, are karavanhar (the one who inspires).

⁸This stage is called the bodiless stage.

⁹This is called following the Father. ¹⁰In order to follow the Father constantly, let your intellect remain stable in two stages.

¹¹The stage of following the Father is the stage of constantly being without a body, the bodiless stage, the incorporeal stage.

¹²In order to follow Dada, that is Father Brahma, may you always be in the avyakt stage, the angelic stage, the subtle stage.

¹³To remain stable in both these stages is called following the Father.

¹⁴The stage below this is the awareness of the gross form and the awareness of people. ¹⁵Do not come down to that stage.

¹⁶Awareness of people and gross awareness is the basis of bringing you down.

¹⁷Therefore, always remain beyond everything, stable in these two stages.

¹⁸The third aspect is that, as soon as you took Brahmin birth, you received BapDada’s teachings. ¹⁹Do not go into the stage of falling down even in your thoughts or dreams.

²⁰That is a stage that doesn’t belong to you.

²¹What would happen if someone were to go abroad without permission?

²²BapDada has already drawn this line of obedience: do not step outside it.

²³If you are disobedient, you become distressed and you also repent.

²⁴Therefore, the easy way to constantly maintain your pride and to remain stable in the stage of being an embodiment of all attainments, is to follow the Father.

²⁵It is easy to follow, is it not?

²⁶In life, you are experienced in following from childhood.

²⁷In childhood, you are made to follow your father by holding his finger while walking, sitting and moving around.

²⁸Then, when you become a householder, husband and wife are taught to follow one another.

²⁹Then, as you progress further you adopt a guru, you become followers of a guru. ³⁰You become those who follow him.

³¹In worldly life, you have to follow in the beginning and also at the end.

³²The alokik and parlokik fathers are also showing you one easy method. ³³They free you from the expansion of, “What should I do? ³⁴How should I do this? ³⁵Should I do it like this or like that?”

³⁶The answer to all questions is just one: follow the Father.

³⁷It was the Brahma soul who completed the full 84 births and became the instrument to teach you how to perform actions in the corporeal form.

³⁸In actions, in becoming free from the bondage of actions, in fulfilling responsibility through actions, in remaining stable in the bodiless stage whilst in a body, in becoming free from the bondages of the body, in the stage of remaining absorbed and lost in love, in using every new penny in a worthwhile way, it was corporeal Brahma who became the instrument in physical life.

³⁹The soul who was tied in the bondage of karma became the example of becoming karmateet.

⁴⁰So, it is easy to follow a practical life.

⁴¹This is the lesson to follow the father.

⁴²When you ask questions connected with the body, relationships or wealth, the answer to all of those questions is the life of Father Brahma. ⁴³Scientists today ask computers for answers to all their questions because they believe a computer is more accurate than the human intellect.

⁴⁴They believe the thing that is created to be more accurate than the one who created it.

⁴⁵However, for you who have silence, the life of Brahma is the accurate computer.

⁴⁶Therefore, instead of asking “why?” or “how?”, look at the computer of life.

⁴⁷The questions of “how?” and “what?” will change into “like this”.

⁴⁸Instead of being one with many questions, you will become content and satisfied.

⁴⁹Someone who asks many questions has a fluctuating intellect.

⁵⁰This is why the sign of a question mark is crooked.

⁵¹When you write the sign of a question mark, it is crooked, whereas the sign of being content and satisfied is a full stop.

⁵²Is there anything crooked in a full stop?

⁵³It is the same from all sides.

⁵⁴If you look at a full stop from any angle, it will be the right way and it will always be the same whether you look at it the right way up or the wrong way round.

⁵⁵In the stage of being content and satisfied, that is, in being constant and stable, you are one who follows the father.

⁵⁶So, what is the essence?

⁵⁷Follow Brahma in the corporeal form and follow Father Brahma in the subtle form.

⁵⁸Whether you follow Father Brahma or Father Shiva, the same words are used: Follow the Father.

⁵⁹This is why there is the praise of Brahma: Salutations to Brahma, the Guru of the World, because in order for you to follow, it was Brahma in the corporeal form who became the instrument for the corporeal world.

⁶⁰None of you call yourselves Shiv Kumars and Shiv Kumaris, you call yourselves Brahma Kumars and Brahma Kumaris.

⁶¹It is Brahma who becomes a sample of the physical elevated life for the corporeal creation.

⁶²This is why Father Shiva is called the Satguru and the one who teaches you something is called a guru.

⁶³It is Brahma who becomes the instrument to teach the world.

⁶⁴So, you have to follow him in every action.

⁶⁵It is in this context that Brahma is called the Jagadguru (World Guru).

⁶⁶This is why the world praises Brahma.

⁶⁷The title Jagadpita also belongs to Brahma.

⁶⁸Vishnu and Shankar cannot be called Prajapati (Lord of Humanity).

⁶⁹In terms of being a master, they call him Pati (Lord) but, in fact, he is the Pita (Father).
