Avyakt murli for Saturday 20 February 1988

⁰> > 20-02-88 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The means to finish tiredness of the mind and body is powerful remembrance.

²Today, the Father, the Resident of the faraway land, has come to meet His children who are residents of the eternal land, residents of the original land as well as those who are living abroad for the sake of service.

³BapDada knows that you are My long­lost and now­found specially beloved children, and that you are residents of the eternal land, the supreme abode. ⁴And, together with the beginning of the world, when there was your original land, the land of Bharat, when it was your golden­aged sovereignty, your own kingdom, which everyone calls Bharat, you were the residents of that same Bharat. ⁵You ruled on this land of Bharat with Father Brahma.

⁶For many births, you lived a life filled with happiness and peace in your own kingdom.

⁷This is why, because of being residents of the original land, you have love in your heart for the land of Bharat. ⁸No matter how poor and dusty Bharat has now become, after all, your land is your own land.

⁹So, what is the land that belongs to all of you souls and what is the land that you belonged to when you were in deity bodies?

¹⁰It was Bharat, was it not?

¹¹Do you remember how many births you have lived in Bharat?

¹²All of you have attained your inheritance for 21 births from the Father and you therefore have this guarantee for 21 births.

¹³Later, too, all of you souls took many other births in the land of Bharat because the souls who are close to Father Brahma, souls who are to become equal to him, will play their part of being the ones who are worthy of worship and worshippers with Father Brahma.

¹⁴It is you Brahmin souls who become the first devotees of the copper age.

¹⁵At the beginning of heaven, you were residents of this land, and you have been residents of the land of Bharat many times.

¹⁶This is why you have deep love for Madhuban, the alokik world of Brahmins.

¹⁷This Madhuban is the small world of Brahmins.

¹⁸So, you like this world very much, do you not?

¹⁹You don’t feel like going back from here, do you?

²⁰If an order were to be given for you to become a resident of Madhuban right now, you would be happy, would you not?

²¹Or, would you have the thought: Who will do service?

²²That you should go back for service?

²³If BapDada were to tell you to sit down here, would you still remember your service then?

²⁴Who is the One who inspires you to do service? ²⁵To follow the Father’s directions or shrimat in the way that they are given means that you are a truly obedient child.

²⁶BapDada knows whether to make you sit in Madhuban or to send you on service.

²⁷Brahmin children have to remain ever­ready in every situation.

²⁸Remain ever­ready for the direction you receive right now.

²⁹The dictates of your own mind should not be mixed with even the slightest thought. ³⁰This is known as being an elevated soul who follows shrimat.

³¹You know that BapDada is responsible for service, do you not?

³²Or, are you responsible?

³³You are free from this responsibility, are you not? ³⁴Or, do you have a little burden? ³⁵“I have to do such a big programme.

³⁶I have to do this.” ³⁷You don’t consider all of that to be a burden, do you?

³⁸Karavanhar is making you do it.

³⁹Only the one Father is Karavanhar and He has been touching people’s intellect and carrying out the task of world service and will continue to do it.

⁴⁰He simply makes the children the instruments because those who do something will receive the fruit of it.

⁴¹It is the children who will receive something; the Father doesn’t want to attain anything.

⁴²It is souls who are to receive the reward and also experience the fruit of service.

⁴³This is why He makes you children instruments.

⁴⁴You saw the task of doing service in the corporeal form and, you are now also seeing how the Father, Karavanhar, is working through avyakt Brahma and getting the service done.

⁴⁵The speed of avyakt service is very intense.

⁴⁶The One who is inspiring is inspiring you and you are dancing like puppets.

⁴⁷This service is also like a play.

⁴⁸The One who is inspiring is inspiring you and you, as instruments, are creating a multimillionfold reward through each step.

⁴⁹So, who has the burden?

⁵⁰The One who is inspiring it to happen or the one who is doing it?

⁵¹The Father knows that even that is not really a burden.

⁵²You refer to it as a burden and so the Father also uses the word “burden”.

⁵³For the Father, everything is already accomplished. ⁵⁴Everything is just like drawing a line.

⁵⁵Does it feel like a big thing to draw a line?

⁵⁶So BapDada enables service to take place in this way.

⁵⁷Service is also just as easy as drawing a line.

⁵⁸You are simply repeating everything; for the sake of this, you are simply playing a game. ⁵⁹Just as the obstacles of Maya are a game, so too, service is also not effort, but a game.

⁶⁰By thinking in this way, you will constantly experience refreshment in service. ⁶¹Why do people play games?

⁶²Not to get tired; they play games to feel refreshed. ⁶³No matter how big the task is, you will experience it to be like a game and feel refreshed.

⁶⁴No matter how tiring a game may be, by considering it to be a game, there isn’t any tiredness because you are playing that game out of your heart’s interest.

⁶⁵No matter how hard you have to work in a game, you feel that it is enjoyment because you are doing it with your heart.

⁶⁶Some mundane tasks feel like a burden, and you feel that you have to do that for the livelihood of your body.

⁶⁷You do that considering it to be your duty. ⁶⁸This is why it takes effort.

⁶⁹Whether something is physical labour or labour of the intellect, when you consider it to be a duty, you experience tiredness because you are not doing that with happiness in your heart.

⁷⁰Whatever task you carry out with enthusiasm in your mind and with happiness, you won’t feel tired in that; you won’t feel it to be a burden.

⁷¹Sometimes, children take on more tasks than is required for their service and they therefore sometimes feel tiredness.

⁷²BapDada sees that some children maintain their enthusiasm and continue to do service tirelessly.

⁷³Nevertheless, you maitained courage and are moving forward. ⁷⁴Seeing this, BapDada is happy, but, nevertheless, you must definitely keep your intellect light.

⁷⁵BapDada continues to see all the children’s plans and programmes while sitting in the subtle region.

⁷⁶Each child’s record of remembrance and service is with BapDada at every moment.

⁷⁷Just as in your world you have many ways to keep records, so the Father has even more refined methods than the scientific methods to keep your records, and these continue to work automatically.

⁷⁸Whatever task the instruments of science carry out, they function only with light.

⁷⁹The subtle region is of light.

⁸⁰The facilities that function with light of the corporeal world are still facilities of matter, but the facilities of the subtle region are not of matter.

⁸¹Matter changes from sato to rajo to tamo. ⁸²At this time, the elements of matter are tamoguni, and this is why those facilities work one day but don’t work the next day.

⁸³However, the facilities of the subtle region are beyond that and this is why they do not change.

⁸⁴Whenever you want and however you want, the subtle facilities constantly continue to carry out their task.

⁸⁵This is why it is not a big thing for BapDada to see the records of all the children.

⁸⁶It becomes difficult for all of you to look after the facilities.

⁸⁷So BapDada is looking at the records of both remembrance and service because the balance of both brings you extra blessings.

⁸⁸You make time for service, but you sometimes use more time for service than for your general discipline.

⁸⁹To use your time for service is a very good thing, and you also receive power from service and because of remaining busy in service, you are also protected from many small things.

⁹⁰BapDada is pleased to see the children’s service and He surrenders Himself to your courage. ⁹¹However, the time for the service that becomes an instrument for the slightest obstruction in your remembrance and progress should be cut down.

⁹²For instance, when you stay awake till midnight or 1.00 am, then amrit vela will not be fresh.

⁹³You sit according to a discipline but if amrit vela is not powerful, a difference is created in the remembrance and service throughout the day.

⁹⁴It takes time to make plans for service and to put those plans into a practical form.

⁹⁵So, then, instead of going to sleep at midnight, cut that down and go to sleep at 11.00 pm.

⁹⁶The one hour you cut down that gave rest to your body will enable you to have good amrit vela, and your intellect will also remain fresh.

⁹⁷Otherwise, your conscience will bite you: that you are doing service, but that your chart of remembrance is not what it should be.

⁹⁸When you repeatedly have the thought that something is not like it should be, that it is not happening in that way, then, because of that thought, the intellect doesn’t remain fresh.

⁹⁹However, your intellect is fresh, then, with a fresh intellect, you can do two to three hours of work in one hour.

¹⁰⁰You experience something taking longer because of a tired intellect, do you not?

¹⁰¹And the fresher your intellect remains – physically as well as spiritually – with double freshness – one hour’s work can be done in half an hour. ¹⁰²Therefore, always pay attention to your daily timetable so that you have a fresh intellect.

¹⁰³Let there not be the habit of sleeping too much, but however much time you feel is necessary for your body, definitely pay attention to giving it that much rest.

¹⁰⁴Sometimes, when there is the chance for a particular type of service and you have late nights two or four times in one month or two months, that is a different matter, but if your body is always tired, then that creates a difference in your remembrance.

¹⁰⁵You make a programme for service, that you have to have four hours of it, and you make that time.

¹⁰⁶In the same way, think that you definitely have to make time for remembrance too. ¹⁰⁷Consider this to be essential and make your programme with this method. ¹⁰⁸Don’t be lazy, but definitely give your body rest.

¹⁰⁹Continue to move along with this method because, day by day, the time is coming when service will move at a fast speed.

¹¹⁰You might think: OK, let this one year’s project be completed and then we will take a rest and put everything right, that we will increase remembrance at that time.

¹¹¹However, the projects for service are newer by the day and getting bigger day by day. ¹¹²Therefore, always keep a balance.

¹¹³Let your amrit vela be fresh.

¹¹⁴And then do that same work according to the time and you will receive extra blessings from the Father. ¹¹⁵And, because your intellect is fresh, you will be able to do the work very quickly and successfully.

¹¹⁶Do you understand?

¹¹⁷BapDada is seeing that children have a lot of enthusiasm and this is why they don’t even think about their body.

¹¹⁸They are moving forward with zeal and enthusiasm.

¹¹⁹BapDada likes it when you make it move forward. ¹²⁰Nevertheless a balance is definitely needed.

¹²¹You may continue to do it and continue to move along, but when you sometimes have a lot of work to do, then, because the intellect is already tired, you are unable to do as much as you want. ¹²²Secondly, because you have a lot of work to do, when there is the slightest upheaval with anyone, due to any reason, then, because of tiredness, there is irritation and this reduces your happiness.

¹²³Generally, you are fine internally, you are receiving the power of service, you are experiencing happiness, but yet your body is still old, is it not?

¹²⁴Therefore, do not get into too much.

¹²⁵Keep a balance.

¹²⁶Your tiredness should not affect your chart of remembrance, no matter how busy you remain in service. ¹²⁷No matter how busy you are, the special method to finish tiredness is definitely to make time for one minute of powerful remembrance every hour or every two hours.
