Avyakt murli for Thursday 18 January 1996

⁰> > 18-01-1996 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The easy method to be constantly powerful is to have positive thoughts and good wishes for others.

²Today is the day of remembrance filled with love.

³The sound of love from the hearts of the children in all four directions has reached BapDada.

⁴This love is filled with happiness.

⁵As well as calling this the day of remembrance, BapDada also calls it a day of power because Brahma Baba, in his corporeal form, surrendered his powers to the children for them to carry out all tasks in the corporeal form.

⁶This day is called the day with the blessing of "Son shows the Father".

⁷In the corporeal form Baba put the children in the front, and in the angelic form he started the service of his children and the world.

⁸The 18th of January is the day of remembrance when Brahma Baba became completely free from all attachment.

⁹The essence of the eighteen chapters of the Gita is that God made Arjuna the conqueror of attachment and the embodiment of remembrance.

¹⁰So, this 18th is the memorial of this. ¹¹No matter how much love Brahma Baba had for the children, he didn't have attachment but love in his heart. ¹²And, of course, the children have experienced how much Baba used to remember those who were instruments in service; you had this experience, did you not?

¹³Attachment is that in which one has selfish motives.

¹⁴However, Brahma Baba didn't have any selfish motives for himself, but he did have extreme love for the children in the name of service.

¹⁵This is why the remembrance of the children didn't pull him. ¹⁶He was always loving and yet detached.

¹⁷This is why it is said: the conqueror of attachment and the embodiment of remembrance.

¹⁸He had no consciousness of "mine" for anything; he even became free from attachment to the consciousness of the body.

¹⁹So, today is the day for learning the lesson of following the father in the same way. ²⁰This avyakt day has been a day for making souls without knowledge aware of God's task, because on seeing father Brahma, the majority of people used to think and believe that Brahma was your God.

²¹They used to think that Brahma was the God of the Brahma Kumaris.

²²However, what did they think when Brahma transformed his part from the corporeal form? ²³That now the God of the Brahma Kumaris has gone away. ²⁴But did he go away? ²⁵And they even thought that, if not today then tomorrow, the work of the Brahma Kumaris would end.

²⁶However, you know that your Karankaravanhar working through Brahma was the Supreme Soul: He is and will be till the end.

²⁷So this is God's task. ²⁸It is not the work of any human being.

²⁹They only recognised this after Brahma Baba changed his part from the corporeal form; they realised that some power was working for you, but even now, the poor, helpless people don't know God.

³⁰They know that some power is working, but they are still thinking about who that power is. ³¹They are seeing it and thinking about it; eventually, they will understand it.

³²So, whose task is this?

³³Is it father Brahma's or is it that of God working through Brahma?

³⁴Whose task is it?

³⁵You might say that the children who came after the part of sakar Baba are wondering: Why did Brahma Baba finish his sakar part so quickly?

³⁶Otherwise, we could also have at least seen him!

³⁷We could have met him!

³⁸You think in this way, do you not? ³⁹In the memorial of the previous kalpa, through whom did the mahavir instruments of the Kaurav army receive benefit?

⁴⁰They benefitted through the Shaktis.

⁴¹So, according to the drama, the part of the Shaktis has been fixed in the corporeal form.

⁴²And everyone even believes that it is impossible for there to be world benefit without the power of the mothers.

⁴³So, why did Brahma Baba become an angel?

⁴⁴Why was the sakar part changed?

⁴⁵If Brahma Baba didn't adopt the angelic form, all of you souls would not have reached here today.

⁴⁶Because the uncertainty in the atmosphere was making the task of this world revolution fluctuate.

⁴⁷So Brahma Baba becoming avyakt became the reason for opening the fortune of the maximum number of children.

⁴⁸You can now see the fast speed of service through the angelic form. ⁴⁹You can see that, can't you?

⁵⁰Did the speed become fast or slow?

⁵¹It became very fast.

⁵²It is because everything became so fast that all of you reached here.

⁵³Otherwise, you would still be fast asleep.

⁵⁴So today is not the same as how other people celebrate such a day; they think that he has now gone.

⁵⁵But, in fact, there is zeal and enthusiasm to follow the father and become an embodiment of remembrance and a conqueror of attachment, the same as Baba.

⁵⁶This is the day for learning this lesson practically.

⁵⁷Out of all of you sitting here, whether sitting at the back, at the front or anywhere else, did any of you have tears of sorrow in your heart today?

⁵⁸Did you have any tears or did you feel something inside?

⁵⁹No; maybe one or two of you had tears.

⁶⁰Those who had the slightest feeling of sorrow, raise your hands!

⁶¹Did you feel any sorrow? ⁶²You didn't, did you?

⁶³Today is the day that Brahma Baba became a service companion. ⁶⁴Are all of you companions also?

⁶⁵Or, are you just observers? ⁶⁶You are companions in service and observers of the situations of Maya.

⁶⁷You have welcomed Maya, have you not?

⁶⁸Or, are you afraid, thinking, "What has happened?" ⁶⁹Are you a little afraid? ⁷⁰Whenever Maya comes to you in a fearsome form ­ you are now aware of her ordinary, insignificant form and Maya also knows that you now know her very well ­ but when she comes in a fearsome form, then hit her very hard, just like in wrestling.

⁷¹Have you seen wrestling? ⁷²Do you want to see it?

⁷³Children demonstrate that here. ⁷⁴So always think that you are having a wrestling match.

⁷⁵Therefore, hit her very hard.

⁷⁶Don't be afraid, it's just a sport. ⁷⁷You enjoy it more when you play as a detached observer.

⁷⁸But if you think that Maya has come, then you would be afraid.

⁷⁹Maya doesn't have any strength any more. ⁸⁰Externally, she has the form of a lion, but in fact, she is not even like a cat. ⁸¹In order to make you afraid, she adopts a huge form and you think, "What will happen now?".

⁸²BapDada taught you this lesson earlier also: Don't ever say, "What will happen now?". ⁸³Has Baba taught you the lesson of asking questions: "What can I do? ⁸⁴How will it happen? ⁸⁵What will happen?"

⁸⁶Whatever is happening is good and whatever is to happen will be even better.

⁸⁷To become a Brahmin means that everything is good. ⁸⁸Maybe, sometimes something that you never even dreamt about would happen, and some things may not have happened before gyan, but as soon as you come into gyan, they happen. ⁸⁹Your business may not have fluctuated before gyan, but this happens after you come into gyan, and you become afraid, thinking you should leave knowledge now.

⁹⁰But whenever any situation comes, consider that situation to be your teacher for a short time. ⁹¹What does a teacher do?

⁹²He teaches, doesn't he?

⁹³So the situations also especially make you experienced in having two particular powers. ⁹⁴One is the power to tolerate, to have detachment and become a conqueror of attachment and it also teaches you the lesson of having the power to face, so that you learn something for the future. ⁹⁵So the situation has only come to teach you these two lessons: the power to tolerate and the power to face.

⁹⁶And when you say that you are just a trustee and that nothing belongs to you, do you really mean it or are you just saying it and deceiving yourself?

⁹⁷Do you really mean it in your heart?

⁹⁸Are you a trustee or a little bit of a householder?

⁹⁹Are you sometimes a trustee and sometimes a householder?

¹⁰⁰In the New Year, BapDada was presented with a few toys and one of them was such that when it was turned one way, it was a male figure and when turned the other way, it was a female figure. ¹⁰¹The one toy would change its form.

¹⁰²You are not like this toy, are you? ¹⁰³Show them this toy! ¹⁰⁴If you still have it in stock, show it to them.

¹⁰⁵In one second it becomes one thing, the next second it becomes something else. ¹⁰⁶You are not like that, are you?

¹⁰⁷Being a trustee one moment and becoming a householder the next?

¹⁰⁸Maybe the Pandavs sometimes become a little like that? ¹⁰⁹When you feel afraid, Maya understands that you are afraid and so she hits you hard.

¹¹⁰But don't be afraid.

¹¹¹You are already trustees, that is, you have renounced everything.

¹¹²To be a trustee means you have handed over everything to the Father.

¹¹³What would be "mine" anyway?

¹¹⁴When you think of something belonging to you, the intellect gets deflected and then there is a little problem. ¹¹⁵Everything is good and everything will work out well, and therefore, you are carefree.

¹¹⁶This is known as being an embodiment of power. ¹¹⁷So, what day is it today?

¹¹⁸The day to become powerful, the day to become a conqueror of attachment.

¹¹⁹It is not just a day to remember Baba and sing songs. ¹²⁰Brahma Baba becoming an angel became a means to reveal the Godly task within the drama.

¹²¹Does Brahma Baba exist or not?

¹²²You are not able to see him.

¹²³Look, all of you who came later are very lucky. ¹²⁴Why?

¹²⁵You have come at the time when the facilities for service are readily available.

¹²⁶Those who are celebrating their sixty years extracted the butter and all of you came to eat it.

¹²⁷You must have heard the history today. ¹²⁸If you would have had to make that much effort, you would have run away.

¹²⁹However, at the present time, the field of service is prepared.

¹³⁰Now, whether it is a President, a Prime Minister or any leader, at least the majority of them believe that your work is very good. ¹³¹Whether they can do it themselves or not is a different issue.

¹³²Each one's part is his own.

¹³³At least they say that it is a good task and that it should go a lot further.

¹³⁴Previously, they used to say that you mustn't even look at the face of a Brahma Kumari.

¹³⁵In the early days, when you used to go to invite them, they would shut the door on you.

¹³⁶So all of you have come at a good time.

¹³⁷There are many chances for service.

¹³⁸You can do as much service as you want.

¹³⁹Now, everyone knows that, even after sakar Baba became avyakt, you Brahma Kumaris have celebrated the silver jubilee, you have also celebrated the golden jubilee and have now reached the diamond jubilee.

¹⁴⁰When any great guru leaves, it causes many problems. ¹⁴¹Are there any problems here?

¹⁴²In fact, here, there has been further expansion and everything just continues to grow.

¹⁴³This proves that it is God who is carrying out this task. ¹⁴⁴The instrument medium is Brahma Baba.

¹⁴⁵Even now, the medium is Brahma Baba.

¹⁴⁶This part (of Avyakt BapDada) is something different, but within the drama, the medium initially was sakar Brahma and now it is Brahma in his angelic form.

¹⁴⁷Brahma is called the father. ¹⁴⁸Brahma is the creator.

¹⁴⁹This part is to give sustenance to the children every now and then.

¹⁵⁰But Brahma is the creator and he will have the part in the task of creation till the end.

¹⁵¹Today, throughout the whole day, who had any Maya? ¹⁵²Did Maya come?

¹⁵³Did she? ¹⁵⁴Did you not remember your grandchildren?

¹⁵⁵So constantly remain powerful in this way, and the easiest method of all is to remember two words.

¹⁵⁶You are able to remember two words, are you not?

¹⁵⁷You may forget the entire murli, but you can remember two words and continue to practise them.

¹⁵⁸In fact, you know these two words, they are not new. ¹⁵⁹One is to have positive thoughts (subh chintan), to change the negative into positive: this is known as having positive thoughts.

¹⁶⁰Negative can become positive and you can change it. ¹⁶¹But simply check whether you had positive thoughts even whilst performing actions.

¹⁶²And the second is to constantly have good wishes for others. ¹⁶³So positive thoughts and good wishes (subh chintak) for others have a connection with one another.

¹⁶⁴If you don't have positive thoughts, you can't have good wishes for others.

¹⁶⁵Therefore, pay attention to these two aspects.

¹⁶⁶Do you understand?

¹⁶⁷What will you do now?

¹⁶⁸Don't forget everything here.

¹⁶⁹Nowadays, it's been seen that there are many situations in which people don't understand you through words, but if, whilst having good wishes, you give pure vibrations, they change.

¹⁷⁰And one other thing: you are those who are becoming free from everything in this Brahmin life. ¹⁷¹So you have been told of nine things to become free from, and through removing these nine things, you can become part of the nine jewels.
