Avyakt murli for Monday 23 December 1985

⁰> > 23-12-85 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹A conqueror of lust – one who is beyond all limited desires.

²BapDada is looking at His small, elevated and happy world.

³On the one side, there is the very big tasteless world.

⁴On the other side is a small happy world.

⁵In this happy world are the Brahmin souls who are full of happiness and peace because this life is a happy and peaceful life on the basis of purity and cleanliness.

⁶Where there is purity and cleanliness, there cannot be any name or trace of sorrow or peacelessness.

⁷This small happy world is in the fortress of purity. ⁸If you step outside the fortress of purity even in your thoughts, you experience the influence of sorrow and peacelessness.

⁹If the foot of your intellect remains in this fortress, then, there cannot be any wave of sorrow or peacelessness even in your dreams let alone your thoughts.

¹⁰If there is the slightest experience of sorrow or peacelessness, there is definitely the influence of one type of impurity or another.

¹¹Purity does not just mean becoming a conqueror of lust and thereby a conqueror of the world, but all limited desires are the creation of the vice of lust.

¹²To be a conqueror of lust means to be victorious over all desires because each desire has a great deal of expansion.

¹³One is the desire for physical possessions.

¹⁴The second desire is to attain something limited from people.

¹⁵Thirdly, many types of limited desires arise in fulfilling relationships. ¹⁶Fourthly, within the intention to do service, limited desires also arise. ¹⁷To finish all these four types of desire means to be victorious over sorrow and peacelessness for all time. ¹⁸Now ask yourself: Have I finished all these four types of desires?

¹⁹If any perishable thing attracts you towards itself, then that is definitely attachment in the form of desires.

²⁰You change the words and say in a royal way: "I don't want it, but I like it."

²¹Whether it is an object or a person, to have a special attraction towards it – when you like just that particular object or person – means there are desires. ²²That is a desire.

²³It is right when you say that you like everything and everyone, but it is wrong to say that you like just a particular thing or person.

²⁴That is a royal form of desire. ²⁵Whether you like someone's service, someone's sustenance, virtues, effort, renunciation or nature, it is a different matter to take the fragrance of that goodness or to imbibe that goodness into yourself, instead of thinking that you like that one in particular because of that one’s goodness.

²⁶This is because that goodness then changes into desires. ²⁷It is a desire.

²⁸You are then unable to face sorrow or peacelessness.

²⁹One is to deprive yourself of becoming good because of that one’s goodness. ³⁰The other is the feeling of enmity that also brings you down. ³¹One is the desire to be impressed. ³²The other is the desire from having jealousy or holding a grudge against someone.

³³These too finish your happiness and peace. ³⁴Then your mind is constantly in upheaval. ³⁵The signs of being impressed are attachment and subservience.

³⁶Similarly, the sign of having feelings of jealousy or enmity are to try and prove yourself right and being stubborn.

³⁷You are then unaware of how much time and energy are wasted in having both these types of feeling.

³⁸Both cause a lot of loss. ³⁹They distress you and also cause distress to others.

⁴⁰At such a time, the chant from such souls is: I have to take and give sorrow.

⁴¹No matter what happens, I have to do this.

⁴²It is their desires that are speaking at that time.

⁴³It is not the Brahmin soul speaking at that time. ⁴⁴This is why their foot of the intellect steps outside the world of happiness and peace.

⁴⁵Therefore, become victorious over these royal desires. ⁴⁶Go beyond these desires and have the stage of being ignorant of even the knowledge of desires.

⁴⁷When you have the thought, due to either type of feeling, that you will definitely demonstrate this by doing something, to whom will you demonstrate it?

⁴⁸To the Father or the Brahmin family? ⁴⁹Whom will you show? ⁵⁰Then, just consider that as not demonstrating, but that you will demonstrate falling.

⁵¹Is that the wonder that you will demonstrate?

⁵²Is falling something you would be proud of showing others?

⁵³The intoxication of limited attainment: I will demonstrate by doing this service, I will demonstrate by glorifying the name – check whether these words are royal.

⁵⁴You speak the language of lions, but you become like sheep.

⁵⁵Nowadays, people wear the face mask of a tiger, an elephant, Ravan or Rama.

⁵⁶So, this too is Maya wearing the face of a tiger. ⁵⁷"I will definitely demonstrate this. ⁵⁸I will do this."

⁵⁹However, Maya influences you and makes you into a sheep.

⁶⁰To have any consciousness of "mine" means to be influenced by one type of limited desire or another.

⁶¹Speak yuktiyukt language and also have yuktiyukt feelings.

⁶²This is not cleverness, but it is experiencing defeat every cycle and becoming part of the moon dynasty instead of the sun dynasty. ⁶³You will then have to become part of the moon dynasty every cycle.

⁶⁴So, is that defeat or cleverness? ⁶⁵Do not show such cleverness.

⁶⁶Do not become arrogant. ⁶⁷Do not insult anyone. ⁶⁸Both of those feelings distance you from good wishes and pure feelings.

⁶⁹So check: There isn't the slightest feeling of arrogance or insult, is there?

⁷⁰Where there are feelings of arrogance or insult, that person can never be stable in the stage of self­respect.

⁷¹Self­respect makes you step away from all desires and you will then constantly swing in the swings of happiness and peace in the world of happiness.

⁷²This is called being a conqueror of all desires and a conqueror of the world. ⁷³So BapDada was looking at the small happy world.

⁷⁴Why do you go from the world of happiness in your own world into the foreign land with the foot of your intellect?

⁷⁵A religion that is not yours, a land that is not yours would always cause you sorrow.

⁷⁶Your original religion and your original land give you happiness. ⁷⁷So, you are the children of the Father who is the Ocean of Happiness.

⁷⁸You are souls who have experienced the world of happiness. ⁷⁹You are souls who have a right and so always remain happy and peaceful.

⁸⁰Do you understand? ⁸¹All the loving children from this land and abroad have arrived at their home, their Father's home, to claim their right.

⁸²Seeing the children who have a right, BapDada is also pleased.
