¹The Second Step of Courage – Tolerance (Life story of Brahma Baba).

²Today, the Almighty Authority Father is seeing His first elevated creation.

³The first creation is of Brahmins, and in the first creation Brahma is said to be the first number.

⁴Because of being the first number of the first creation, Brahma is called Adi Dev.

⁵There is also a memorial of this name “Adi Dev” on Abu mountain.

⁶He is called Adi Dev, that is, the first creation and, together with that, Adi Dev also means that he is the first deity in the beginning of the new world.

⁷It is Brahma who becomes the first deity in the form of Shri Krishna. ⁸This is why he is called the first deity in the beginning of the new world.

⁹At the confluence age too, he is the first number of the first creation, that is, whether you call him Adi Dev or Brahma, he is the creator of Brahmin souls.

¹⁰So, he is the first one at the confluence age and also at the beginning of the world, and so he is called Adi Dev.

¹¹It is Brahma who becomes the first karmateet angel.

¹²Brahma becomes an angel and the angel becomes the deity – he is number one in everything.

¹³Why did he become number one in this way?

¹⁴With what method did he attain number one success?

¹⁵All of you Brahmin souls have to follow Brahma.

¹⁶What do you have to follow him in?

¹⁷You have already been told about his first step of surrender.

¹⁸In his first step too he demonstrated this by surrendering in every way.

¹⁹The second step is tolerance.

²⁰When he surrendered himself, of course he received the most elevated inheritance from the Father, but what did he receive from the people of the world?

²¹Who was showered with the most insults? ²²Even though you souls were insulted or assaulted, it was Brahma who continued to receive the most anger.

²³In his lokik life, he had never heard a bad word, but when he became Brahma, he became number one in having to hear bad words.

²⁴He led a life where he received the most love from everyone, but to the extent that he was loved by everyone in his lokik life, to that extent, everyone became his enemy in his alokik life.

²⁵When the children were assaulted, that was automatically also an assault on the father indirectly.

²⁶However, with the virtue of tolerance, he remained smiling; he never wilted. ²⁷To smile when someone praises you is not being tolerant.

²⁸However, to remain smiling at a time when someone becomes an angry enemy and who showers you with insults and not to have the slightest sign of wilting on your face or even in thoughts is said to be having tolerance. ²⁹To see, speak and come into connection with merciful feelings with an enemy soul is called having tolerance.

³⁰In the task of the establishment and of service, there were sometimes small and sometimes big storms.

³¹As a memorial in the scriptures, they have portrayed Mahavir Hanuman carrying such a big mountain on the palm of his hand just like a ball.

³²In the same way, no matter if the problem, obstacle or storm seems like a big mountain, a mountain means to make a big thing into a small toy, and to overcome it as you would a game.

³³Or, he made anything big become something very light; he himself remained light and he also made others light. ³⁴This is called tolerance. ³⁵He didn’t make a small stone into a mountain, but made the mountain into a ball; he put the expansion into its essence: this is tolerance.

³⁶To expand obstacles and problems in your mind or to speak about them to others means to create mountains.

³⁷However, he did not to go into expansion, but with the full­stop of “nothing new”, he put a full­stop and moved forward. ³⁸This is called putting expansion into its essence.

³⁹An elevated tolerant soul is always able to put expansion, problems and obstacles into their essence with knowledge and yoga, just as Brahma Baba did.

⁴⁰When you go on a longer route it finishes your time and energy, that is, a lot more of those are used. ⁴¹In the same way, expansion is the longer route and the essence is in taking a short cut.

⁴²Both are able to go across, but because those who take a short­cut are able to save their time and energy, they don’t become disheartened.

⁴³They constantly enjoy themselves and overcome everything with a smile. ⁴⁴This is called tolerance.

⁴⁵Someone with the power of tolerance will never be afraid and think: Does this also happen? ⁴⁶Because of being constantly full, he will go into the depths of knowledge and remembrance.

⁴⁷Someone who is afraid is never able to go into the depths.

⁴⁸One with essence always remains full. ⁴⁹This is why there is depth in something that is full.

⁵⁰One with expansion is empty; this is why something that is empty always rattles.

⁵¹So, someone with expansion would constantly continue to rattle with thoughts such as “Why this? ⁵²What is this?

⁵³It shouldn’t be like this, but like this. ⁵⁴It should not be like this.”

⁵⁵He will continue to rattle in this way in his thoughts, and in his words, too, he would still constantly rattle on in front of everyone. ⁵⁶What happens when you rattle on beyond limits?

⁵⁷You rattle on, you become breathless and you tire yourself out.

⁵⁸Those who are tolerant are saved from all of those things and this is why they always enjoy themselves; they don’t rattle on, but they fly.

⁵⁹Second step – Tolerance. ⁶⁰Brahma Baba demonstrated this by taking this step.

⁶¹He always remained unshakeable and immovable.

⁶²He always enjoyed himself in an easy way and didn’t have to labour.

⁶³The children who did 14 years of tapasya experienced this.

⁶⁴Did you feel it was 14 long years, or did you feel it was just like a few moments?

⁶⁵Did you live with enjoyment or did you feel it took labour?

⁶⁶Baba took many test papers of physical labour too.

⁶⁷There is a vast difference between being those who were sustained by being spoilt with so much pride and being those who made the cow­dung patties (for the fire) and who did the mechanics.

⁶⁸He also made you sew slippers.

⁶⁹He also made you into shoemakers and gardeners.

⁷⁰However, was that labour or a pleasure?

⁷¹You overcame everything, but you always experienced it to be a life of pleasure.

⁷²Those who became confused ran away whereas those who remained in pleasure are giving many others the experience of a life of pleasure.

⁷³Even now, if those 14 years were to be repeated, you would like that, would you not?

⁷⁴However, now, if someone has to do even a little physical work at a centre, they think: Is this why I renounced everything? ⁷⁵Am I meant to do this work?

⁷⁶To live one’s life in pleasure is said to be a Brahmin life.

⁷⁷Whether it is ordinary physical work or whether you have to give a speech on a stage to thousands of people, do both with pleasure.

⁷⁸This is called living a life of pleasure.

⁷⁹Not to be confused and think: I didn’t think that to surrender would mean I would have to do all of this. ⁸⁰I came here as a teacher. ⁸¹I didn’t renounce everything to do this physical work. ⁸²Is this all a Brahma Kumari life is?

⁸³This is called a life of confusion.

⁸⁴To become a Brahma Kumari means to live with pleasure in your heart, not with physical pleasures.

⁸⁵With pleasure in your heart, you will be able to transform any situation or task of confusion into pleasure. ⁸⁶Although you have elevated facilities and everything you have is clear, if you yourself are constantly confused, you create confusion in something that is very clear. ⁸⁷While having good facilities, you won’t be able to take pleasure from those facilities. ⁸⁸“How will this happen?

⁸⁹This will not happen like this, but like this.” ⁹⁰You yourself will be confused about that and you will also confuse others.

⁹¹It is said: When a thread is tangled (confused), it is with great difficulty that you are able to untangle it.

⁹²You would be confused about something good and also about something that causes fear, because the attitude is confused and the mind is confused. ⁹³Then, your attitude automatically affects your vision and, because of your vision, you see the world as being confused too.

⁹⁴A Brahma Kumari life means a life of pleasure, like that of Father Brahma.

⁹⁵However, the basis of this is tolerance.

⁹⁶So, tolerance is so special!

⁹⁷Because of this speciality, Father Brahma always remained unshakeable and immovable.

⁹⁸You have been told of the two papers of tolerance.

⁹⁹The first paper were the bad words and assaults from people.

¹⁰⁰Secondly, the different obstacles that came in establishing the yagya.

¹⁰¹Thirdly, some Brahmin children become traitors, or create opposition because of discontentment about small or large matters.

¹⁰²However, in this too, with the feeling of satisfying those who were discontent while considering them to be influenced by something else, by having benevolent feelings and with the silence power of tolerance, he made each one move forward.

¹⁰³He still taught the lesson of tolerance with sweetness, good wishes and pure feelings to those who came to oppose him.

¹⁰⁴When someone opposed him one day, and the next day, came to ask him for forgiveness with words emerging from his lips, “Baba is truly Baba!”, that is said to be making those who fail pass with tolerance and to pass through the obstacle.

¹⁰⁵So, you heard about the second step.

¹⁰⁶For what?

¹⁰⁷So that you can place your steps in his steps.

¹⁰⁸This is known as “follow Father” or to become equal to the Father.

¹⁰⁹Do you want to become this or do you just want to observe from a distance?

¹¹⁰You are courageous, are you not? ¹¹¹Punjab, Maharashtra, both are courageous.

¹¹²All are courageous.

¹¹³All you people from this land and abroad call yourselves mahavirs.

¹¹⁴If any one of you were to be called part of the infantry, would you accept that?

¹¹⁵This proves that all of you consider yourselves to be mahavirs.

¹¹⁶To be a mahavir means to be equal to the Father.

¹¹⁷Do you understand?

¹¹⁸Achcha. ¹¹⁹To all the souls from this land and abroad who are equal to the Father, who always have a surrendered intellect, to those who always remain tolerant in every situation and with every person and who make every big situation into something small and easily overcome it, to those who put the expansion into its essence, to those who always live their Brahmin life as a life of pleasure, to such elevated mahavir souls who become equal to the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste together with the blessing, “May you become equal.”

¹²⁰BapDada meeting groups:

¹²¹What is the speciality of kumars?

¹²²A kumar life is an elevated life because it is a pure life, and where there is purity, there is greatness.

¹²³Kumar means powerful, someone who is able to do whatever he has the thought to do.

¹²⁴A kumar means one who is always free from bondage and makes others free from bondage.

¹²⁵You have such specialities, do you not?

¹²⁶You can put whatever thought you have into practical action.

¹²⁷You yourselves remain pure and you can also tell others the importance of remaining pure.

¹²⁸You can become instruments for such service.

¹²⁹What people of the world consider to be impossible, you Brahma Kumars issue a challenge about – “No one can be as pure as we are.” ¹³⁰Why?

¹³¹Because it is the Almighty Authority who makes you that.

¹³²No matter how much people of the world try, they cannot become as pure as you.

¹³³You have easily become pure.

¹³⁴It feels easy, does it not?

¹³⁵Or, do you also say, like the people of the world, that it is unnatural? ¹³⁶Do you feel that?

¹³⁷The definition of a kumar is: One who issues a challenge, those who demonstrate this by transforming themselves in a practical way, the ones who make the impossible possible.

¹³⁸Other people take their companions into bad company, whereas you bring them into the Father’s company. ¹³⁹You don’t colour them with your company.

¹⁴⁰You colour them with the Father’s company. ¹⁴¹You make them equal to the Father. ¹⁴²You are like that, are you not?

¹⁴³Achcha.

¹⁴⁴A kumar means one who is constantly unshakeable and immovable. ¹⁴⁵No matter what type of situations come, you are not those who fluctuate because your Companion is the Father Himself.

¹⁴⁶One will always be unshakeable and immovable where the Father is.

¹⁴⁷Where the Almighty Authority is, there will be all the powers. ¹⁴⁸Maya cannot do anything in front of all the powers.

¹⁴⁹Therefore, the life of a kumar means one with a constant stage, not those who fluctuate.
