Avyakt murli for Tuesday 20 February 2001

⁰> > 20-02-2001 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Shiva Jayanti, the memorial of taking a vow and totally surrendering the self.

²Today, Father Shiva, the Creator of the Trimurti, has come to meet His worthy­of­worship saligrams.

³Today, it is a meeting as well as a celebration.

⁴All of you have arrived here from all over the world with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm in order to celebrate BapDada's birthday.

⁵Children say that they have come to celebrate the Father's birthday and the Father says that He has come to celebrate the children's birthday.

⁶All of you have also come to celebrate your alokik birthday.

⁷At no other time throughout the whole cycle can there be such another lovely and unique birthday.

⁸Throughout the whole cycle, did you see or celebrate such a birthday that is the same for the Father as well as the children?

⁹This is because, for the task of world transformation, together with Father Shiva and Brahma Dada, Brahmins are also needed.

¹⁰A sacrificial fire cannot be successful without Brahmins.

¹¹This is why the birthday, the jayantis, of the Father and children are together.

¹²Children are congratulating the Father from their heart and the Father is giving each Brahmin child more than multi­multi­million times congratulations as well as blessings from the heart for the alokik birthday.

¹³Congratulations! ¹⁴Congratulations!

¹⁵Congratulations! ¹⁶Very good! ¹⁷You enjoy clapping with one hand, not two hands.

¹⁸There is a lot of happiness and so you can't stop your hands; they just move automatically.

¹⁹In the world also, devotees celebrate Shiv Jayanti with a lot of splendour.

²⁰However, their celebration is one night without sleep (jagran) or a fast for one day.

²¹You children have not had the thought of having jagran of the sleep of ignorance for only one day ­ they too have jagran ­ but you have stayed awake for the whole of this one life of the confluence age that is like a diamond.

²²You have awakened, have you not? ²³You will not now go back to sleep, will you?

²⁴Or will you fall asleep a little?

²⁵Achcha, you may not have fallen asleep, but perhaps you nod off!

²⁶This staying awake throughout the night is such that you yourself are awake, and you also awaken others.

²⁷In this life of knowledge, to remain awake means to come out of the darkness and into the light.

²⁸All of you like this spiritual wakefulness, do you not?

²⁹From the moment you took birth and celebrated your birthday, what vows have you kept from that time?

³⁰Do you remember them? ³¹Children say: Let alone remembering them, our life has become that of a natural vow.

³²Our life has become one of pure diet, pure interaction and pure thoughts.

³³It isn't for just one or two months, but it has become such that we have imbibed this vow in our life.

³⁴It has become natural and it has become our nature.

³⁵You have made your nature that of purity, have you not?

³⁶Has your nature become that or do you have to make it that?

³⁷It has become that, has it not?

³⁸Simply nod in agreement, that's all!

³⁹Has it become that? ⁴⁰Has impurity finished in your nature and has purity merged in your life?

⁴¹You have now celebrated Shiv Jayanti and saligram jayanti that are as valuable as a diamond.

⁴²The children from everywhere abroad and in this land are also celebrating it at the same time.

⁴³BapDada is seeing that together with you and the Father, they too are all so happy!

⁴⁴Today, as your memorial, devotees especially offer a sacrifice.

⁴⁵All of you surrender yourself to the Father in your thoughts, words and deeds. ⁴⁶In memory of that, devotees don't offer themselves as a sacrifice, but sacrifice a goat instead.

⁴⁷Could they not find anything else? ⁴⁸Could they only find a goat?

⁴⁹You know the significance of this. ⁵⁰It is because the greatest cause of body consciousness is the consciousness of "I" (mai ­ in Hindi is "I").

⁵¹When you surrender the consciousness of "I", it is then that you become Brahmins.

⁵²So what does a goat do? ⁵³"Maiii, maiii!"

⁵⁴So this is a sign of the body consciousness of "I". ⁵⁵The consciousness of the "I" of body consciousness is also very subtle and has a variety of forms.

⁵⁶The first consciousness of "I" is "I am a body!" ⁵⁷"I am so­and­so!"

⁵⁸Then, as you move further, there are the different forms of "I" as you become trapped in relationships.

⁵⁹Then, as you move further, there are the different forms of "I" of position.

⁶⁰Even more subtle than that is the "I" of your own speciality which brings you down from up above. ⁶¹Each of you has a speciality.

⁶²Whether it is in a gross or a subtle form, there isn't a single human soul who doesn't have a speciality. ⁶³In this life of knowledge too, each Brahmin definitely has at least one speciality.

⁶⁴However, in the life of knowledge, a speciality is a gift bestowed by God. ⁶⁵It is God's gift. ⁶⁶When you put the consciousness of "I" into the gift that God has given you, this is royal ego and the biggest consciousness of "I".

⁶⁷And so you are already surrendered yourself, but what do you still have to consider further? ⁶⁸What do all of you teachers call yourselves?

⁶⁹You are surrendered, are you not? ⁷⁰Are all teachers surrendered?

⁷¹Achcha, are those who are living at home with their family surrendered?

⁷²Yes or no? ⁷³You are surrendered!

⁷⁴Are the Pandavas surrendered? ⁷⁵Very good!

⁷⁶Congratulations!

⁷⁷What are you going to do now?

⁷⁸You have surrendered yourselves and that is very good.

⁷⁹Now, in future, you have to check that… ⁸⁰Should Baba tell you?

⁸¹You would say: We are surrendered, so what else do we have to do now?

⁸²One is to surrender, but after that there is total surrender.

⁸³Especially underlined in total surrender is the surrender of your mind, intellect and sanskars.

⁸⁴Because in order to move forward, you have to take fast steps in your efforts. ⁸⁵You are doing that, even now, according to the present atmosphere in your Brahmin life, because the majority of you sitting here are Brahmins. ⁸⁶There is just an influence of waste on the mind, nothing bad, because all bad things have finished. ⁸⁷However, according to the present atmosphere, wasteful and negative things influence the intellect a great deal, and because of this, the power of realisation to make an accurate and true decision decreases.

⁸⁸There is realisation through the understanding that, "Yes, this is wrong!" ⁸⁹"This is not right!" ⁹⁰However, one is realisation with common sense and the other is realisation with your heart.

⁹¹When you realise something with your heart, then, even if the world changes, you yourself would not change.

⁹²So you have been told about the mind and intellect. ⁹³Now the sanskars. ⁹⁴Because your sanskars are 63 births old, they have become natural. ⁹⁵In other words, you say, “This is not a mistake, but it is my nature.”

⁹⁶Therefore, some of the old sanskars are erased and others are suppressed, but then emerge again.

⁹⁷However, total surrender means that the motives and feelings in your mind for every soul should be transformed. ⁹⁸BapDada refers to this as: No matter what souls are like, there will always be a variety. ⁹⁹This is the kalpa tree, and if there were no variety in that, then there wouldn't be any beauty. ¹⁰⁰However, there should be good wishes and pure feelings for every soul.

¹⁰¹You even have to transform bad wishes and have good wishes and pure feelings.

¹⁰²Have good wishes for every soul that they will definitely transform themselves.

¹⁰³Don't think: This one is never going to change. ¹⁰⁴Don't become their judge and make a judgement that they are never going to change.

¹⁰⁵Since you have issued a challenge that you will transform the elements and make them satoguni, then you have to do it.

¹⁰⁶There is no question of whether or not they will become that, but it is you who have to make them that.

¹⁰⁷You have underlined the words "have to do it".

¹⁰⁸So is it that the elements can change but the soul cannot change?

¹⁰⁹The soul is the master of matter.

¹¹⁰Matter changes and the master doesn't. ¹¹¹Why?

¹¹²So at the present time the only service to do is transformation of the self ­ the mind, intellect and sanskars; the transformation of everything.

¹¹³Everyone is asking: What are we going to do this year?

¹¹⁴You have to do double service.

¹¹⁵First, totally surrender the self! ¹¹⁶Surrender the self to such an extent that your vibrations, atmosphere, company, co­operation of the heart, and blessings of the heart help others to bring about easy transformation.

¹¹⁷You have to transform the self to this extent.

¹¹⁸You have to totally surrender everything.

¹¹⁹This is one type of service and the other is serving other people. ¹²⁰As a result, it has been seen that everywhere in this land and abroad, whatever service you Brahmin children have done, even in the villages, you have done it with love for the Father. ¹²¹BapDada is giving many, many congratulations for that.

¹²²What will you do in the future? ¹²³BapDada has seen that there is growth of Brahmins and there will be even faster growth.

¹²⁴However, together with this, the service you have done that people like, the service that is taking place through the different projects, is very good.

¹²⁵Now very good co­operative souls have become good instruments at many different places.

¹²⁶They are very good co­operative souls. ¹²⁷They have taken one step of co­operation; they have put one foot forward. ¹²⁸However, the other foot is to become an easy yogi and a karma yogi.

¹²⁹A few have become karma yogis and easy yogis to some extent; this is the second stage.

¹³⁰Now, such souls have to play a practical part on the stage.

¹³¹A mike is always on the stage.

¹³²Therefore they should become mikes and definitely come on to the stage of service in a visible way.

¹³³You are the might and they are the mikes.

¹³⁴Just as Brahma Baba in the subtle form is the might who has made you children mikes, in the same way, now become the might and prepare such mikes.

¹³⁵They are very good, there is hope for them, and they can go fast. ¹³⁶However, now it is necessary to increase the connection with such souls.

¹³⁷They want to know what to do and how to do it. ¹³⁸Become the might and show them that whilst maintaining a balance of their worldly occupation and their spiritual service, they, who have come last, can go fast and come into the line of those who come first.

¹³⁹There are such souls; they just have to be revealed!

¹⁴⁰Simply maintain a connection with them and give them a current! ¹⁴¹The current of spirituality, the current of vibrations and atmosphere and also show them the way to become instruments to reveal that a balanced life is very good and easy.

¹⁴²Is this all right?

¹⁴³You have now heard what you have to do, have you not?

¹⁴⁴Prepare small bouquets. ¹⁴⁵OK, not a big bouquet, but at least bring a bouquet of 5 or 10 flowers.

¹⁴⁶They exist everywhere in BapDada's eyes. ¹⁴⁷Did you hear that?

¹⁴⁸Did the Pandavas hear that?

¹⁴⁹Very good!

¹⁵⁰Double foreigners are not jumping, but are flying. ¹⁵¹So, who will bring the first bouquet, those from abroad or those from Bharat?

¹⁵²Who will bring it?

¹⁵³Or will both bring them at the same time?

¹⁵⁴The bouquet from abroad on one side and the bouquet from Bharat on the other. ¹⁵⁵Both bouquets will come on to the stage.

¹⁵⁶Just as you celebrate this ceremony, so we shall then also celebrate that ceremony with both bouquets, one from Bharat and one from abroad.

¹⁵⁷Is this all right?

¹⁵⁸What do those from abroad think?

¹⁵⁹Will you bring them in the next season?

¹⁶⁰Will you bring them?

¹⁶¹Will those from Bharat bring them?

¹⁶²Bring those who have a balance of their worldly and spiritual occupation, not just those who have a Brahmin life like you, but both worldly and spiritual.

¹⁶³Their impact will be greater. ¹⁶⁴People will come to you for drishti.

¹⁶⁵Achcha, what are you thinking, Jayanti?

¹⁶⁶Are you thinking about names?

¹⁶⁷Nirmala, Mohini, you are thinking about names, are you not?

¹⁶⁸Look at the Pandavas here! ¹⁶⁹There are fewer Pandavas in Bharat.

¹⁷⁰They are equal to Allah! ¹⁷¹Look, some are even sitting here.

¹⁷²This is Brian sitting just in front, is it not?

¹⁷³(Speaking to Brian of Australia). ¹⁷⁴A bouquet has to be prepared, does it not?

¹⁷⁵There are very good souls. ¹⁷⁶What is the name you use? ¹⁷⁷NCO.

¹⁷⁸Achcha. ¹⁷⁹Those from the NCOs abroad, raise your hands!

¹⁸⁰It is not easy to become an NCO! ¹⁸¹You will have to perform wonders!

¹⁸²You can do it; it is not a big thing because the land is now ready.

¹⁸³The seed is also sown; it just needs to be watered with sustenance.

¹⁸⁴Now the seed needs the water of sustenance.

¹⁸⁵Achcha.

¹⁸⁶BapDada is pleased to see all the children. ¹⁸⁷In every meeting, half the numbers are new ones who have come for the first time. ¹⁸⁸Therefore, this is a sign of growth.

¹⁸⁹Those who have come now for the first time, raise your hands!
