¹How to celebrate Holi and bring about permanent transformation.

²Today, the Father, the Bestower of Fortune for all, has come to celebrate the Holi of the jewels of knowledge with His holy swans.

³To celebrate means to celebrate a meeting. ⁴BapDada is always pleased to see each of the extremely loving, easy yogi, holy children, those who constantly co­operate in Baba's task, those who are transforming the world through their pure attitude and pure vision.

⁵The great souls of today are also praised as pure ones, but you elevated souls become holy in the highest way, that is, any impurity, even in thoughts or dreams, will not bring your pure attitude and drishti down from its pure stage.

⁶Because every thought is pure, that is, because the consciousness is pure, your attitude and vision automatically become pure.

⁷Not only do you become pure but you also purify matter.

⁸This is why when matter is pure you receive pure bodies for innumerable births in the future.

⁹Therefore, you become such holy swans, that is, elevated souls who constantly have pure thoughts.

¹⁰The highest­on­high Father makes you into those with such an elevated life in every aspect.

¹¹The purity is the highest purity; it is not ordinary.

¹²Ordinary pure souls will accept you as the great pure souls and will bow in front of you and say: Your purity is extremely elevated.

¹³Householders of today, because of considering themselves to be impure, bow their heads to the pure souls, thinking them to be great. ¹⁴However, they will accept that there is a great difference between the purity of you elevated pure souls and their purity.

¹⁵This festival of Holi is the memorial of the method of purification of you pure souls, because all of you numberwise pure souls burn impurity for all time in the fire of love in remembrance of Baba. ¹⁶This is why you first celebrate the Holi of burning.

¹⁷Then you celebrate the Holi of being coloured, that is, the Holi of celebrating a meeting.

¹⁸To burn something means to finish all name and trace of it.

¹⁹If people want to finish all name and trace of something, what do they do?

²⁰They burn it.

²¹This is why, after killing Ravan, they burn him.

²²This memorial of you souls is the burning of impurity, that is, you became pure, holy.

²³Baba always says that for Brahmins to celebrate Holi means to become holy.

²⁴So check: Have you simply killed impurity, or have you burnt it?

²⁵It is possible for someone who has died to come alive: the life remains hidden somewhere or other.

²⁶However, to burn something means to finish all name and trace of it.

²⁷How far have you come? ²⁸You have to check this for yourselves, do you not?

²⁹The hidden life of impurity should not come alive even in dreams.

³⁰Such a soul is known as an elevated, pure soul.

³¹Even dreams are transformed through thought.

³²Today, BapDada was seeing in the subtle regions the promises made by the children from time to time in thoughts and in writing.

³³Whether one is a maharathi in one's stage or a maharathi in service, both have made very good promises from time to time.

³⁴There are two types of maharathi.

³⁵One is to be a maharathi on the basis of effort made to attain blessings or the inheritance. ³⁶The other is to become a maharathi on the basis of one or another speciality in service.

³⁷Although both are called maharathis, the first variety you heard about: on the basis of the stage, they always swing in the swing of supersensuous joy in the mind, in the swing of contentment and the swing of being an embodiment of love received from everyone's heart.

³⁸The second variety are maharathis on the basis of their speciality in service: through their bodies, that is superficially, they appear to be an embodiment of the fruit of contentment.

³⁹Due to their speciality in service, their minds are content through the support of service.

⁴⁰Due to the speciality of service, there will be love from everyone, but not constantly either in their minds or in their hearts.

⁴¹Sometimes it will be superficial and sometimes in the heart. ⁴²However, speciality in service makes them maharathis; they are counted in the line of maharathis.

⁴³Therefore, today BapDada was seeing the promises of both the maharathis and the effort makers.

⁴⁴Only recently, you made many promises.

⁴⁵What did Baba see?

⁴⁶There is benefit in making a promise because the fruit of determination is attention.

⁴⁷A promise which is remembered again and again brings power.

⁴⁸Although, due to this, there is a little transformation, the seed still remains buried.

⁴⁹This is why, when a certain time or situation arises, because the seed that is buried receives the water of situations and reasons, its leaves begin to emerge once again.

⁵⁰It does not finish for all time.

⁵¹So BapDada was seeing who celebrated the Holi of burning. ⁵²When a seed is burnt, a burnt seed never bears fruit.

⁵³Everyone made promises: We will let the past be the past for whatever has happened up to now, whether to the self or to others. ⁵⁴We will finish everything and bring about transformation.

⁵⁵Everyone recently made promises.

⁵⁶You all make promises in your heart­to­heart conversations with Baba, do you not?

⁵⁷BapDada has a record of each one.

⁵⁸Promises are made in very beautiful forms.

⁵⁹Some through songs, some through poetry and some through pictures.

⁶⁰BapDada was seeing why transformation does not take place as much as you wish. ⁶¹What is the reason for this?

⁶²Why does it not finish for all time? ⁶³What was seen was that you have a thought for yourself that you will not allow that weakness to emerge again. ⁶⁴And for others you think that you will transform whatever clashes you have with them in thoughts, words or deeds due to sanskars or due to the settling of karmic accounts with them.

⁶⁵However, why does it repeat from time to time?

⁶⁶The reason for this is that you think that by knowing the sanskars of a certain soul, you will keep yourself safe in the future and have good wishes and pure feelings. ⁶⁷The habit of seeing, hearing and imbibing the weaknesses of others has become natural and has been there for a long period of time. ⁶⁸If you do not see the weaknesses of others, that is very good, but you do not pay constant attention as to what you should see in its place, or what you should imbibe from that soul.

⁶⁹You remember that you must not do a particular thing, but you do not have natural attention as to what you should think, see or do instead for the other souls. ⁷⁰Therefore, although you clear a place, if it is not used in a good way, dirt and mosquitoes are created in that empty place, because the dirt, dust and mosquitoes that are already in the atmosphere gradually begin to gather, for the space has to be filled.

⁷¹Whenever you come into connection with souls, the elevated thoughts of natural transformation should first enter the consciousness.

⁷²Because you are already knowledge­full, you already know everyone's virtues, task, sanskars, service and nature. ⁷³If, instead of the space, the elevated sanskar of transformation is constantly overflowing, impurity will automatically finish.

⁷⁴You heard previously as well that when some children sit in remembrance and when they practise remembrance in Brahmin life as they move along, although they experience peace in remembrance, they do not experience happiness.

⁷⁵The experience of just peace sometimes makes the head heavy or sometimes sends you to sleep. ⁷⁶When you are in a peaceful state you do not experience happiness. ⁷⁷Therefore, when there is no happiness, there is no zeal and enthusiasm.

⁷⁸Even whilst having yoga the soul is not content with himself; the soul remains tired.

⁷⁹It is always in the mood of thinking: Why isn't there happiness?

⁸⁰There is a reason for this as well. ⁸¹Because you only think, "I am a soul, a dot, an embodiment of light and that Baba is also the same". ⁸²But, "What sort of a soul am I?

⁸³What are the specialities of myself, the soul?

⁸⁴I am a multi­million times fortunate soul.

⁸⁵I am a soul of the original creation. ⁸⁶I am a soul that claims Baba's heart­throne", You don't think of these specialities that bring happiness.

⁸⁷Simply to think, "I am a dot, I am light, an embodiment of peace," takes the soul into the stage of nil (emptiness).

⁸⁸This is why the head becomes heavy. ⁸⁹In this way, when you have the determined thought of transformation of the self and others, you must constantly keep the form of the pure, elevated thought and speciality in an emerged form and transformation will then take place.

⁹⁰You think, "This one is like this anyway; he does this anyway. ⁹¹This is bound to happen like this." ⁹²Instead of that, think, "This one is special, according to his speciality."

⁹³Just as you think "this" and "that" about the weakness, in the same way, think "this" and "that" about the elevated stage and specialities. ⁹⁴Bring about this now. ⁹⁵Transform your consciousness, form, attitude and drishti. ⁹⁶See yourself in this form and also see others in this form.

⁹⁷This is known as having filled the space and not left it empty. ⁹⁸Celebrate the Holi of burning with this method.

⁹⁹Don't ever think about yourself or about others: "You see, I knew this one was not going to change."

¹⁰⁰But, at that time, ask yourself, "Have I changed? ¹⁰¹Self­transformation will also bring about the transformation of others in front of you.

¹⁰²Let each of you first think, "Let me be the example of having changed first".

¹⁰³This is known as the burning of Holi. ¹⁰⁴There is no celebration without burning.

¹⁰⁵It is the burning that takes place first, because once you have burnt it, you have become clean, elevated and pure.

¹⁰⁶And such souls automatically and constantly remain coloured with the company of the Father. ¹⁰⁷Such souls constantly celebrate the auspicious meeting with Baba and all souls.

¹⁰⁸Auspicious means that they celebrate a beneficial, elevated and pure meeting.

¹⁰⁹Do you understand? ¹¹⁰Did you celebrate such a Holi?

¹¹¹When there is zeal and enthusiasm, every moment is a festival.

¹¹²So, celebrate with great happiness, play, eat and enjoy yourselves, but always be holy and continue to celebrate a meeting.

¹¹³Achcha. ¹¹⁴To those who are constantly congratulated by Baba through blessings at every second, to those who are congratulated by every Brahmin through good wishes, to those who are extremely elevated, pure souls, to the souls who are constantly coloured by the company, to the souls who constantly celebrate a meeting with Baba, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

¹¹⁵Blessings spoken by BapDada in personal meetings:

¹¹⁶Do you constantly experience yourselves to be souls who remain under the canopy of protection of the Father’s remembrance? ¹¹⁷The canopy is the means of safety.

¹¹⁸What would happen if you were to step outside this canopy even in your thoughts? ¹¹⁹Ravan would carry you away and sit you in the cottage of sorrow. ¹²⁰So, you don’t want to go there. ¹²¹Always stay in the experience that you are a loving soul who always remains under the canopy of the Father’s protection.

¹²²With this experience, constantly become powerful and continue to move forward.

¹²³Do you always experience yourself to be a soul merged in BapDada’s eyes? ¹²⁴What would be the form of a soul who is merged in the eyes?

¹²⁵What is in the eyes? ¹²⁶A point (pupil).

¹²⁷The power to see is in the pupil. ¹²⁸So, to be merged in the eyes means to experience yourself to be constantly stable in the point form.

¹²⁹Do you have this experience?

¹³⁰This is called being the light of the eyes. ¹³¹So, constantly continue to make yourself move forward with this awareness.

¹³²Always maintain the intoxication: I am a soul who is the light of the eyes.

¹³³Blessing: May you be completely surrendered and a trustee who finishes even any trace of the progeny of the vices.

¹³⁴In one way or another Maya catches hold of those who put aside for a time of need their property of old sanskars.

¹³⁵They would be caught out with even a small piece of their old register because Maya is very sharp.

¹³⁶Her catching power is no less. ¹³⁷Therefore, finish even the trace of the progeny of the vices. ¹³⁸Let there no sign of any of the old treasures in any corner.

¹³⁹This is known as being completely surrendered, a trustee and loving and co­operative to the yagya.
