¹FIVE SPECIAL STEPS OF FATHER BRAHMA.

²Today, the Father who is loved by the whole world is seeing His specially, deeply loving and close children.

³All are loving, but those who are extremely loving and close are those who follow the father at every step.

⁴The incorporeal Father kept Brahma Baba, the corporeal instrument, in front of the corporeal children for them to be able to follow him in a practical way. ⁵He was the first soul in the drama who experienced 84 births from the beginning to the end; he became the medium in the corporeal form and became an example in front of the children to make it easy for them to follow, because when one sees a powerful example it is easy to follow.

⁶And so Baba kept Brahma Baba as a symbol of love for the loving children and He gave every child the elevated shrimat to follow the father at every step.

⁷Do all of you consider yourselves to be the close souls who follow the father?

⁸Do you find it easy or difficult to follow?

⁹What were the special steps of Father Brahma that you saw?

¹⁰1. The first step: A total renunciate. ¹¹Not only renunciation of the body and lokik relations, but the greatest renunciation, the first renunciation, was that of surrendering the mind and the intellect.

¹²That is, in every action there was only the awareness of the Father and shrimat in his mind and intellect at every moment.

¹³He constantly considered himself to be an instrument and was detached and loving in every action.

¹⁴In bodily relationships he renounced the consciousness of “I”.

¹⁵When the mind and body are surrendered to the Father bodily relationships are automatically renounced.

¹⁶The first step was that of a total renunciate.

¹⁷2. The second step: Always remained obedient.

¹⁸At all times and in everything, whether in self­progress or in giving sustenance to the yagya, he remained an instrument.

¹⁹Only Brahma is the special soul who has that unique part fixed in the drama: the same soul is the mother and also the father.

²⁰While being an instrument for giving sustenance to the yagya, he always remained obedient.

²¹Although the task of establishment was a huge one, he didn't disobey any of the instructions.

²²You easily saw his form of saying, “Yes, My Lord, I am present” in a practical way at all times.

²³3. The third step: Faithful in every thought.

²⁴A wife who is faithful to her husband cannot remember anyone except her husband even in dreams. ²⁵In the same way, you saw the practical form of his being faithful with the consciousness of “no one but the one Father” at all times.

²⁶While being an instrument for the responsibility of new, unlimited establishment, through the power of being faithful, in the practical action of having one faith and one Support, he easily overcame all adverse situations and inspired others too.

²⁷4. The fourth step: A world server.

²⁸The speciality in service was that, on the one hand, he was a very humble world servant, and, on the other hand, the authority of knowledge.

²⁹To the extent that he was humble, he was accordingly a carefree emperor.

³⁰The fearlessness of truth is the speciality of service.

³¹No matter how much his relatives, politicians and religious leaders opposed him because of this new knowledge, they were not able to make him fluctuate even slightly from his position of truth and fearlessness.

³²This is known as the balance of being humble and having authority.

³³All of you are seeing the result of that.

³⁴Those who insulted him are now bowing down to him in their mind.

³⁵The special basis of success in service is to be humble, to be an instrument and to be unlimited.

³⁶He became the embodiment of success through this method.

³⁷5. The fifth step: Free from the bondage of karma, free from the relationships of karma, that is, free from the bondage of the body, an angel, karmateet.

³⁸In one second, he conquered all attachments and became an embodiment of the remembrance of One, close and equal.

³⁹Today, Baba has told you briefly of the five steps. ⁴⁰There is a lot of detail, but, in essence, those who place their steps over these five steps are known as the ones who follow the father.

⁴¹Now, ask yourself, in how many steps have you followed him?

⁴²Have you just surrendered, or have you surrendered totally?

⁴³To have surrendered totally means you are equal to the Father in your thoughts, nature and sanskars.

⁴⁴If, even now, while moving along, you think or say, “My nature is like this, my nature is like that”, or if thoughts emerge or you say things against your conscious wish, that is not known as being a total renunciate.

⁴⁵Although you call yourselves completely surrendered, there is still the consciousness of ‘mine’ and ‘yours’ when it comes to surrendering every trace.

⁴⁶The Father’s nature (swabhav) means the nature of the self, that is, the nature of the soul.

⁴⁷Sanskars should always be like those of the Father, that is, of love, of mercy and of having a generous heart, and this is called a big heart.

⁴⁸To have a small heart means to see the limited consciousness of ‘mine’, whether for the self, for the service place or for the service companions, whereas to have a big heart means

⁴⁹everyone experiences you belonging to them.

⁵⁰When someone has a big heart, he experiences an abundance of success in every task whether in body, mind, wealth or relations.

⁵¹Abundance means there is greater benefit, whereas someone with a small heart has to make greater effort and has less success.

⁵²You were told previously also that those who have a small heart never have abundance in their treasure­store or kitchen.

⁵³Their service companions will give many reassurances, “You do this and we will do this”, but they then start relating their circumstances at a time of need.

⁵⁴This is known as having a big heart.

⁵⁵So the Lord is always pleased with those who understand the significance of everything.

⁵⁶All of you teachers have a big heart, do you not?

⁵⁷You are the instruments for the unlimited, greatest of all tasks.
