Avyakt murli for Tuesday 17 February 2004

⁰> > 17-02-2004 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹The special slogan for the birthday festival of Shiv Ratri - Give everyone co-operation and make them co-operative. ²Let your treasure-store continue eternally.

³Today, BapDada Himself has come to celebrate His own birthday as well as the children's diamond-like birthday, Shiv Jayanti.

⁴All of you children have come here to celebrate the birthday of your parlokik and alokik fathers and the Father has come to celebrate your birthday.

⁵The Father is pleased to see the fortune of you children: Wah! ⁶My children with the elevated fortune.

⁷Wah that you have incarnated at the same time as the Father to finish the darkness of the world!

⁸Throughout the whole cycle, no one else can have such a birthday which you children celebrate with God, the Father.

⁹Devotee souls also celebrate this alokik, extremely lovely and unique birthday, but you children celebrate a meeting whereas devotee souls simply sing praise. ¹⁰They sing praise and they also continue to call out.

¹¹BapDada, listening to the praise that devotees sing, also hears their call and gives them the fruit of their numberwise feelings of faith.

¹²However, there is a great difference between devotees and you children.

¹³They celebrate the memorial of the elevated actions you performed and your elevated fortune very well and this is why BapDada congratulates the devotees when He sees the divine activities of their devotion, for all of them have copied your memorials very well.

¹⁴They also hold a fast on this day. ¹⁵They hold a fast for a short time, of just temporary cleanliness of their food and drink.

¹⁶You take a vow for the whole birth (life) of complete purity which includes your food, interaction, words and deeds.

¹⁷Whilst living your life at the confluence age, you also have to remain pure in your thoughts, words and deeds.

¹⁸Not only do you have to become pure, you also have to make others pure.

¹⁹So, look at how the intellect of devotees is no less. ²⁰They have copied your memorials very well.

²¹All of you have surrendered everything wasteful and have become powerful, that is, you have surrendered your impure life. ²²As a memorial of your surrender, they make a sacrifice, but they don't offer themselves as a sacrifice.

²³They sacrifice a goat. ²⁴Look how well they have copied you.

²⁵Why do they sacrifice a goat? ²⁶They have copied this very well too.

²⁷What does a goat do?

²⁸It constantly says "Mai, mai, mai ("I" in Hindi).

²⁹That is the consciousness of the "I" of body consciousness, because it is in this "I" that there is the arrogance of the body, and this arrogance of the body is the seed of all vices.

³⁰BapDada has also told you earlier that it is this consciousness of "I" of body consciousness that causes an obstruction to your totally surrendering yourself.

³¹It is easy to surrender the common consciousness of "I", that I am a body, or the consciousness of "I" in terms of relations of the body or possessions of the body.

³²You have done this already, have you not?

³³Or, not yet? ³⁴Has this not been done yet?

³⁵The more progress you make, the more the consciousness of "I" becomes extremely subtle and deep.

³⁶It is easy to finish the gross consciousness of "I".

³⁷However, the deep consciousness of "I" - if you develop any consciousness of "I" for the specialities you receive as your Godly birthright, for the blessing of the intellect you have, or for the blessing of becoming an embodiment of knowledge, for the blessing and specialities of service, or for a Godly gift - then that is called the deep consciousness of "I".

³⁸"Whatever I am doing or whatever I am saying is right, that is what should happen." ³⁹This royal consciousness of "I" becomes a burden stopping you from going into the flying stage.

⁴⁰So, the Father says: Surrender the consciousness of "I" in even this. ⁴¹There should be no consciousness of "I" for a Godly gift.

⁴²Neither "I" nor "mine". ⁴³It is a Godly gift, a blessing from God, a speciality from God.

⁴⁴So, the surrender of all of you is so deep.

⁴⁵So, have you checked whether you have surrendered the consciousness of "I" of both ordinary things and also of the royal form?

⁴⁶Have you done this?

⁴⁷Or, are you still doing it?

⁴⁸"I will have to surrender it anyway." ⁴⁹All of you jokingly say "We have to die (bow down) anyway."

⁵⁰However, this dying is living in God's lap.

⁵¹This dying is not dying.

⁵²It is taking birth in the lap of the deities for 21 births.

⁵³This is why you surrender yourselves in happiness, is it not?

⁵⁴You don't surrender yourselves while crying out, do you?

⁵⁵No. ⁵⁶In bhakti too, a sacrifice that cries out is not accepted.

⁵⁷So, those who surrender themselves with their limited "I" and "mine" can happily claim a right to an inheritance for birth after birth.

⁵⁸Therefore, check: When it comes to the transformation of wasteful thoughts, wasteful words and wasteful activities, do you bring about that transformation happily or by compulsion?

⁵⁹Do you transform yourself out of love or by effort?

⁶⁰When all of you children took birth, you made the occupation of your life that of world transformers who transform the world.

⁶¹This is the occupation of the Brahmin birth of all of you, is it not?

⁶²If this is firm, wave your hands.

⁶³You are waving your flags. ⁶⁴Very good.

⁶⁵Today is the day for flags. ⁶⁶Very good. ⁶⁷However, don't wave the flags just like that.

⁶⁸It is very easy to wave flags just like that, but you now have to shake your mind.

⁶⁹You have to transform your mind.

⁷⁰You are courageous, are you not?

⁷¹Do you have courage?

⁷²You have a lot of courage. ⁷³Achcha.

⁷⁴BapDada saw one thing of great happiness. ⁷⁵What was that?

⁷⁶Do you know that? ⁷⁷For this year, BapDada has given a special gift that if you have even a little courage in any task this year - whether it is for self-transformation, for any task or for world service - if you do that with courage, then this year has received the blessing of your being given extra help.

⁷⁸So, what was the news or scene of happiness that BapDada saw?

⁷⁹That in service for Shiv Jayanti this year, everyone is moving forward with lots and lots and lots of courage and zeal and enthusiasm. ⁸⁰Yes, you may clap.

⁸¹Will you always clap in this way or only on Shiv Ratri?

⁸²Always continue to clap.

⁸³Achcha.

⁸⁴You write your news from everywhere to Madhuban and BapDada sees that in the subtle region.

⁸⁵You have good enthusiasm and you have also made good plans.

⁸⁶Similarly, the zeal and enthusiasm for service will increase the zeal and enthusiasm in souls of the world.

⁸⁷Look, the sapling that Dadiji, the instrument, planted has performed wonders, has it not?

⁸⁸The result is good. ⁸⁹This is why BapDada will not mention the name of each and every centre now, but BapDada is giving multimillion fold congratulations for the result of service done everywhere, to all the serviceable children, remembering their speciality and their name.

⁹⁰They are seeing it there too. ⁹¹Children seeing this at their own places are becoming happy.

⁹²They are happy abroad too because all of you are the specially beloved deities for souls of the world.

⁹³When BapDada sees the gathering of you children, He sees you in your three forms: The present self-sovereigns. ⁹⁴You are also kings now.

⁹⁵In the world too, a father would say to his children "My kingly children, my child king."

⁹⁶Even if they are poor, he would say "My child king."

⁹⁷However, even at the present confluence age, the Father sees all of you children as self- sovereigns.

⁹⁸You are kings, are you not?

⁹⁹You are self-sovereigns, masters of the self.

¹⁰⁰So, self- sovereigns at the present, rulers of the world in the future and, from the copper age to the end of the iron age, you are worthy-of-worship ones who have a right to be worshipped.

¹⁰¹BapDada sees all you children in these forms.

¹⁰²He doesn't see you as ordinary. ¹⁰³No matter what you are like, BapDada sees all of you children as self-sovereigns, royal children.

¹⁰⁴You are Raja Yogis, are you not?

¹⁰⁵Is anyone here a praja-yogi (subject)?

¹⁰⁶Are there any praja-yogis?

¹⁰⁷No.

¹⁰⁸All of you are Raja Yogis.

¹⁰⁹So, a Raja Yogi means a king.

¹¹⁰The Father Himself has come to celebrate the birthday of such self-sovereigns, the masters of the self.

¹¹¹Look, all of you double foreigners have come from abroad to celebrate your birthday.

¹¹²Double foreigners, raise your hands!

¹¹³So, which land is the furthest away?

¹¹⁴Is it America or is there any land further away than that?

¹¹⁵And, where has BapDada come from?

¹¹⁶BapDada has come from the supreme abode.

¹¹⁷So, He has love for you children. ¹¹⁸Your birthday is so elevated that even God has to come!

¹¹⁹(A banner had been made saying "Baba, we love You!" in many different languages.) ¹²⁰Yes, you have made a good banner. ¹²¹You have written it in all languages.

¹²²BapDada is congratulating all the children of all the different languages in all the countries.

¹²³Look, you are celebrating Shiv Jayanti of the Father, but what is the Father?

¹²⁴A point.

¹²⁵You are celebrating the Jayanti, the Incarnation of the Point.

¹²⁶Whose birthday is the most-diamond like?

¹²⁷That of the Point. ¹²⁸A point.

¹²⁹So, there is such great praise of a point (zero).

¹³⁰This is why BapDada says: Always remember the three points. ¹³¹The numbers "7" and "8" are complicated to write, but to write a point is so easy.

¹³²Always remember the three points.

¹³³You know all three of them very well, do you not?

¹³⁴You are a point, the Father is a point. ¹³⁵You are points, the children of the Point, and when you come into action, you come onto this world stage to perform actions. ¹³⁶This is the world stage drama.

¹³⁷So, whatever actions you performed in the drama, that has become the past and so put a full-stop.

¹³⁸So, what is a full-stop?

¹³⁹A point.

¹⁴⁰Therefore, always remember the three points.

¹⁴¹Look at all the wonders. ¹⁴²In today's world, what has the greatest importance?

¹⁴³Money.

¹⁴⁴Money does have importance, does it not?

¹⁴⁵In front of money, even parents are nothing!

¹⁴⁶Money is everything! ¹⁴⁷In that too, if you put a zero after "1", what does it become?

¹⁴⁸It becomes ten.

¹⁴⁹Put a second zero and it becomes a 100. Put a third zero and it becomes a 1000. So, it is the wonder of the zero.

¹⁵⁰In money, it is the wonder of a zero and in terms of becoming an elevated soul, it is the wonder of a point.

¹⁵¹And Karankaravanhar is also a point.

¹⁵²So, what has importance in everything?

¹⁵³The point, does it not?

¹⁵⁴Simply remember the point and do not go into any expansion. ¹⁵⁵You can remember a point.

¹⁵⁶Become a point. ¹⁵⁷Remember the Point and put a full- stop.

¹⁵⁸That is all. ¹⁵⁹This is the effort.

¹⁶⁰Is it difficult?

¹⁶¹Or is it easy?

¹⁶²Those who think that it is easy, raise your hands! ¹⁶³Easy.

¹⁶⁴In that case, you will have to put a full-stop.

¹⁶⁵When any problems come, do you put a full-stop or a question mark?

¹⁶⁶Do not put a question mark, put a full-stop.

¹⁶⁷A question mark is so crooked.

¹⁶⁸Look, write a question mark. ¹⁶⁹That is so crooked, whereas it is so easy to put a full-stop.

¹⁷⁰So, do you know how to become a point?

¹⁷¹Do you?

¹⁷²All of you are clever.

¹⁷³BapDada gave special congratulations for special service, and you are doing that very well. ¹⁷⁴You will continue to do that, but for the future, every day you are world servants.

¹⁷⁵Do you remember how Father Brahma used to sign? ¹⁷⁶World servant.

¹⁷⁷So you are world servants.

¹⁷⁸So, service of the world will not be completed just by doing service on Shiv Ratri.

¹⁷⁹Therefore, keep the aim: I am a world server. ¹⁸⁰So you have to serve the world with every breath and at every second.

¹⁸¹Whoever comes and whoever you are in contact with, you have to be a bestower and give something or other to that one.

¹⁸²No one should go back empty-handed.

¹⁸³Let your infinite treasure-store remain open all the time.

¹⁸⁴At the very least, have good wishes and pure feelings for everyone.
