Avyakt murli for Friday 22 January 1988

⁰> > 22-01-88 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The first step of courage is surrender.

²(The life story of Brahma Baba). ³Today, BapDada, the Ocean of Love, is pleased to see His loving children.

⁴Each and every loving soul has just the one deep desire and elevated thought that they should all become equal to the Father and become merged in love.

⁵To become merged in love means to become equal to the Father.

⁶Everyone has the determined thought in their heart that they definitely have to give a return of the love, powerful sustenance and the limitless and imperishable treasures they have received from BapDada.

⁷What will you give as a return?

⁸Apart from the love in your heart, what else do you have?

⁹Whatever you have has been given to you by the Father. ¹⁰What else will you give?

¹¹To become equal to the Father is the return and you can all do this.

¹²BapDada is seeing that nowadays the awareness of Father Brahma has especially emerged in everyone's heart to a greater extent.

¹³This awareness is not of the physical body, but the awareness of the specialities of his divine activities because the alokik Brahmin life is the life of being an embodiment of knowledge. ¹⁴Because of being an embodiment of knowledge, awareness of the body will not bring any waves of sorrow.

¹⁵In a life without knowledge, whenever people remember someone, the physical body of that person would appear in front of them, and because it is a bodily relationship, they experience sorrow.

¹⁶However, when you Brahmin children remember the alokik Father, you receive power ­ that you too definitely have to become equal to the Father.

¹⁷The awareness of the alokik Father brings you power, that is, it gives you power.

¹⁸Even when some children show the love in their heart with pearls in their eyes, they are not tears of sorrow or tears of separation, but they are pearls of love.

¹⁹That is love of the meeting of hearts.

²⁰You are not yogis who are separated, but Raja Yogis because true love from the heart brings you power for you to give the Father a fast return.

²¹To give a return means to become equal.

²²It is with this method that you will return to your sweet home with your loving BapDada. ²³That is, you will go back with Him.

²⁴You have to give a return and and also return home with the Father.

²⁵This is why your love and remembrance makes you detached from the world and loving to the Father.

²⁶BapDada was seeing the children's thought of becoming powerful and their enthusiasm to become equal.

²⁷He was seeing the specialities of Father Brahma.

²⁸If you were to speak about Brahma Baba's specialities, how many would there be?

²⁹There was speciality at every step.

³⁰Even in his thoughts, at every moment, he had the zeal and enthusiasm to make everyone special.

³¹In a practical way, you saw in him the speciality of constantly putting zeal and enthusiasm into every soul through his attitude.

³²Through his words, he gave courage; he brought hope to those who felt hopeless; he made weak souls fly with the flying stage. ³³He made everyone worthy of service. ³⁴His every word was invaluable, sweet and yuktiyukt.

³⁵In the same way, he was the children's companion in every action and made them karma yogis.

³⁶He wasn't just an observer who watched with detachment, but, in order to give children the experience of the importance of physical work, he was a companion in action.

³⁷"Whatever actions I perform, children who see me will automatically do the same." ³⁸He constantly taught this lesson through his actions.

³⁹In relationships and connections with little children, he became like the little children and made them happy.

⁴⁰With retired elderly people, he was experienced and constantly gave them zeal and enthusiasm. ⁴¹With little children, he was like a child, with the youth, he was like a youth and with the elderly, he was an elderly person and constantly made each one move forward. ⁴²With his relationships and connections, he always gave the experience of belonging.

⁴³Little children would also say, "Baba doesn't love anyone else as much as he loves me."

⁴⁴He gave each one so much love that each one felt, "Baba is mine."

⁴⁵This is the speciality of relationship and connection.

⁴⁶In looking at others, he saw the speciality and virtue of every soul.

⁴⁷In his thoughts, even while always knowing someone to be the last number bead, he always had pure and positive thoughts for such a soul that even such a soul constantly moves forward.

⁴⁸All the children experienced such specialities.

⁴⁹To become equal in all these things means to follow the father.

⁵⁰Is it difficult to follow in this way?

⁵¹This is called love; this is called giving the return.

⁵²BapDada was seeing how much return each child has given.

⁵³Everyone has the aim, but the number lies in their practical life.

⁵⁴Everyone wants to be number one.

⁵⁵No one would prefer to be number two or three.

⁵⁶This is also a good and powerful aim, but to make your qualifications according to your aim is to become equal.

⁵⁷For this, what was the first step of courage that Father Brahma took through which he experienced being multimillion times fortunate from the beginning?

⁵⁸The first step of courage was to surrender everything.

⁵⁹He surrendered everything.

⁶⁰He didn't think about what would happen or how it would happen.

⁶¹In a second, according to the Father's elevated directions ­ when the Father gave a signal, it was the Father's signal and Brahma's action or step.

⁶²This is called the first step of courage.

⁶³He even surrendered his body.
