Avyakt murli for Wednesday 31 December 1986

⁰> > 31-12-86 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The method to make your past, present and future elevated.

²Today, the great­great­grandfather (Brahma) and God, the Father (Shiva) are giving greetings of blessings from their heart to their sweet and extremely lovely children.

³BapDada knows how elevated each and every long­lost and now­found child is and how each one is a great soul. ⁴Every child's greatness and purity continue to reach the Father numberwise.

⁵Today, all of you have especially come to celebrate the New Year with zeal and enthusiasm.

⁶In order to celebrate, people of the world ignite an extinguished lamp or a candle.

⁷They celebrate by igniting it, whereas BapDada is celebrating the New Year with the countless lamps who have been ignited.

⁸He does not light those who have become extinguished, and, having ignited them, he doesn't blow them out.

⁹No one except the Father and you children can celebrate the New Year in this way in a gathering of hundreds of thousands of such ignited spiritual lights.

¹⁰This is such a beautiful scene of the spiritual gathering of the sparkling lamps. ¹¹Each one's spiritual lamp is sparkling constantly and steadily.

¹²"One Baba" in each one's mind is enabling all the spiritual lamps to sparkle.

¹³You have the one world, you have the one thought and you have a constant and stable stage ­ this is what it means to celebrate.

¹⁴This is what it means to become that and make others that. ¹⁵At this time, it is the confluence of both farewell (vidaai) and greetings (badhaai).

¹⁶It is farewell to the old and greetings to the new.

¹⁷All of you have reached here at this confluence.

¹⁸Therefore, congratulations for bidding farewell to your old thoughts and sanskars and also congratulations for flying with new zeal and enthusiasm.

¹⁹The moment that is the present will become the past after a little time.

²⁰The year that you are now passing through will become the past after midnight.

²¹The moment now (today) is called the present, and tomorrow is the future.

²²The play of the past, present and future continues to take place.

²³Use all these three words in this New Year in a new way.

²⁴How?

²⁵Let the past become the past by always passing with honours.

²⁶Of course, it will be "past is past", but how are you going to pass through it?

²⁷You say that the time passed by, that this scene passed by.

²⁸However, did you pass through that whilst passing with honours?

²⁹You made the past become the past, but did you pass through the past in such an elevated way that, as soon as you remember the past, the words "Wah, wah!" emerge from your heart?

³⁰Did you make the past become the past in such a way that others can learn a lesson from your story of the past?

³¹Your past should become the form of a memorial, it should become a devotional song (kirtan), that is, it should be worth singing praise of, just as people on the path of devotion, continue to sing devotional songs of your actions.

³²Through the songs of praise of your actions, the livelihood of many souls is even now being made.

³³In this New Year, let every thought and every moment become the past with this method.

³⁴Do you understand what you have to do?

³⁵Now, come into the present. ³⁶Make the present so practical that everyone receives one present (gift) or another from you special souls at every present moment and thought.

³⁷When do people experience the most happiness?

³⁸When they receive a present.

³⁹No matter how peaceless, sorrowful or distressed they may be, when they are given a present with love, there is a wave of happiness at that moment.

⁴⁰Not a superficial present, but a present given from the heart.

⁴¹Everyone always considers a present to be a symbol of love.

⁴²The value of anything given as a present is in the love with which it is given, not in the thing itself.

⁴³Therefore, continue to make progress with the method of giving presents. ⁴⁴Do you understand?

⁴⁵Is this easy or difficult?

⁴⁶Your treasure­store is full, is it not? ⁴⁷Or, is it that by giving presents, your treasure­store will be reduced?

⁴⁸You have accumulated some stock, have you not? ⁴⁹Simply give the present of one second's drishti with love, co­operation with love, feelings of love, sweet words and elevated thoughts from your heart.

⁵⁰These presents are enough. ⁵¹Nowadays, you Brahmins, your devotees, those who are in connection and relationship with you, and distressed souls, all have need of these presents, not of any other presents.

⁵²You have a stock of these, do you not?

⁵³So, become a bestower and enable every present moment to change into the past, and then all types of souls will continue to sing songs of your praise from their heart.

⁵⁴Achcha.

⁵⁵What will you do in the future?

⁵⁶Everyone asks you: Ultimately, what is the future? ⁵⁷Reveal the future through your features.

⁵⁸Your features should create the future. ⁵⁹What will the future be like?

⁶⁰What will eyes be like in the future?

⁶¹What will smiles be like in the future? ⁶²What will relationships be like in the future? ⁶³What will life be like in the future? ⁶⁴Your features should grant a vision of all of these things.

⁶⁵Your drishti should clearly reveal the world of the future.

⁶⁶The question "What will happen?" should end and, instead, be changed into '"It will be like this".

⁶⁷Let the word "how?" change into "like this".

⁶⁸In the future there are deities.

⁶⁹The sanskars of a deity means the sanskars of a bestower. ⁷⁰The sanskars of a bestower means the sanskars of being one with a crown and seated on a throne.

⁷¹Whoever sees you should experience your crown and throne.

⁷²Which crown?

⁷³The crown of light that enables you to remain constantly light.

⁷⁴The signs of spiritual intoxication and a carefree stage should always be experienced from your actions and words.
