Avyakt murli for Friday 18 December 1987

¹The deep definition of the karmateet stage.

²Today the Bodiless Father is seeing His elevated children who remain stable in the bodiless stage.

³Every Brahmin soul is coming close to his perfect stage through having the elevated aim of becoming bodiless and karmateet.

⁴Today BapDada was seeing the closeness of your karmateet and bodiless stage: Who has come close to this stage and how close have you come to it?

⁵To what extent have you followed Father Brahma or are still doing so? ⁶The aim of all of you is to be close to the Father and become equal to Him, but you become numberwise in the practical form. ⁷You saw the physical example of Father Brahma staying in that body and yet remaining bodiless, that is, karmateet.

⁸So, what is the speciality of becoming karmateet?

⁹For as long as you still have that body and you are playing your part through your physical organs on this field of action, you cannot stop performing actions for even a second.

¹⁰Karmateet means to beyond the bondage of karma while performing actions. ¹¹One is a bondage, and the other is a relationship.

¹²To enter a relationship of karma through the physical organs is a different matter from being tied in a bondage of karma.

¹³Karmic bondage makes you dependent on the limited fruit of karma. ¹⁴The word "dependent" proves that you are depending on someone.

¹⁵Those who depend on others become those who wander around like ghosts.

¹⁶What is the condition of a person whom an evil soul has entered?

¹⁷He just wanders around under someone else's control.

¹⁸In the same way, if you are controlled by your actions, that is, if you are controlled by the desires of the perishable fruit of karma, then that karma will tie you in bondage and continue to make your intellect wander. ¹⁹That is called the bondage of karma that causes distress for the self and others too.

²⁰"Karmateet" means someone who is not dependent on karma, but someone who comes into a relationship (connection) with the physical organs as their master, as an authority, someone who is detached from perishable desires and makes the physical organs act. ²¹The karma should not make the soul, the master, dependent, but as one with rights he should enable the organs to continue to perform actions.

²²When physical organs attract you, it means you are controlled by your actions; you remain dependent and tied in bondage. ²³Karmateet means to be beyond this, that is, to be detached from this.

²⁴It is the task of the eyes to see, but who is it that enables the eyes to see?

²⁵The eyes perform the action, but it is the soul that enables that action to be performed.

²⁶So, when the soul that makes an action be performed becomes dependent on the physical organs that perform the action, that is called bondage of karma. ²⁷When you become one who makes actions be performed or makes an action take place, it is called coming into relationship of karma.

²⁸A karmateet soul comes into relationship, but does not remain tied in bondage.

²⁹Sometimes, you say: I didn't want to say that, but I just said it. ³⁰I didn't want to do that, but I just did it.

³¹Such a soul is said to be a soul who is controlled by the bondage of karma.

³²Would such a soul be said to be close or far from the karmateet stage?

³³Karmateet means to be beyond, that is, separate from the bondage of the body, bodily relations, materials and lokik and alokik relationships.

³⁴Although the word used is "relationship" ­ bodily relationships or relationships with physical relatives ­ if there is dependency on the body or the relatives, then that relationship too becomes a bondage.

³⁵The word "relationship" is one that gives you a lovely and unique experience.

³⁶The relationships of all souls today have changed into bondages. ³⁷Where a relationship has taken on the form of a bondage, that bondage continues to cause distress for the self in one way or another. ³⁸It will make them experience waves of sorrow or unhappiness.

³⁹Although having all perishable attainments, they will experience the happiness of those attainments temporarily.

⁴⁰Together with that happiness, one minute they will experience being an embodiment of attainment, and the next minute, although having all attainments, they will experience the stage of a lack of attainment.

⁴¹Although full and overflowing, they will feel themselves to be empty.

⁴²Although having everything, they will continue to experience, "I need something else." ⁴³And, where souls are constantly wanting something, there cannot be contentment.

⁴⁴It will not be possible for the mind, for the body or for everyone else to remain constantly happy at all times.

⁴⁵They will continue to be upset with themselves or with others due to one thing or another, even against their conscious wishes because to be upset means you have not understood the significance.

⁴⁶It means you have not understood the significance of being one who has the right to make the physical organs act.

⁴⁷So, you would then be upset, would you not?

⁴⁸Those who are karmateet will never get upset because they know the significance of the relationship of karma and the bondage of karma.

⁴⁹Perform actions, not while being dependent, but as one who has a right, as a master.

⁵⁰Karmateet means one who is free from the bondage of his karmic account of past karma.

⁵¹Even if there is an illness of the body due to the karmic account of past karma or if the sanskars of your mind are in conflict with the sanskars of other souls, someone who is karmateet would not be controlled by the suffering of karma, but as a master would enable that account to be settled.

⁵²To be a karma yogi and settle the suffering of karma is the sign of becoming karmateet.

⁵³Through yoga, with a smile, change the suffering of karma from a crucifix to a thorn and burn it, that is, finish the suffering of karma.

⁵⁴It should not take on the form of a disease.

⁵⁵When it becomes the form of a disease, then that one himself constantly continues to speak of it as a disease.

⁵⁶He will speak about it in his own mind and also through his lips.

⁵⁷Secondly, because of it being the form of a disease, he himself will be distressed and will also make others distressed.

⁵⁸Such a soul will cry out, whereas someone who is karmateet will manage.
