Avyakt murli for Monday 7 March 2005

⁰> > 07-03-2005 Om Shanti Avyakt Bapdada Madhuban

¹Today, Father Shiva has especially come to celebrate the birthday of his saligram children.

²You children have come to celebrate the Father’s birthday and BapDada has come to celebrate the children’s birthday, because the Father has a lot of love for you children.

³As soon as the Father incarnates, he creates the sacrificial fire and a sacrificial fire cannot be completed without Brahmins.

⁴This is why this birthday is alokik, unique, and lovely.

⁵There has never been any other birthday throughout the whole cycle where the birthday of the Father and the children is on the same day, nor can it ever be possible.

⁶The Father is incorporeal. ⁷On the one hand, he is incorporeal, and on the other hand, we celebrate his birthday.

⁸It is Father Shiva alone who does not have a body of his own, and this is why he incarnates in the body of Father Brahma, and it is this incarnation that you celebrate in the form of a birthday.

⁹So, have all of you come to celebrate the Father’s birthday, or your own birthday?

¹⁰Have you come to give congratulations, or to receive congratulations?

¹¹This is the promise of remaining together, made by the children to the Father.

¹²Now, at the confluence age, you have the combined company, your incarnation is at the same time, you are carrying out the task of transformation together, and you are also returning home together.

¹³This is the form of the love of the Father and the children.

¹⁴Devotees also celebrate Shiva Jayanti, but they simply call out and sing songs.

¹⁵You don’t call out. ¹⁶Your celebration means to become equal.

¹⁷To celebrate means to continue to fly with constant zeal and enthusiasm.

¹⁸That is why this is called a festival.

¹⁹A festival means to maintain enthusiasm.

²⁰So, you are always celebrating: that is, you always maintain your enthusiasm, do you not?

²¹Is it all the time or only sometimes?

²²In fact, the breath of Brahmin life is zeal and enthusiasm.

²³Just as you cannot stay without breathing, in the same way, without zeal, Brahmin souls cannot stay in Brahmin life.

²⁴You experience this, do you not?

²⁵Look, you have especially come running from so far away, just to celebrate this birthday.

²⁶BapDada doesn’t have as much happiness of His own birthday as he has of the birthday of you children.

²⁷This is why BapDada is giving each one of you children platefuls of multi-million-fold happiness and congratulations.

²⁸Congratulations! ²⁹Congratulations! ³⁰Congratulations!

³¹On this day, BapDada is also remembering the true devotees a great deal.

³²They keep a fast for just one day, whereas you keep a fast of complete purity for your whole life.

³³They keep a fast of food, and you also keep a fast of the food of the mind, which are waste thoughts, negative thoughts and impure thoughts.

³⁴You have kept a firm fast, have you not?

³⁵The double foreigners are sitting at the front.

³⁶Kumars, speak! ³⁷Have you kept a firm fast? ³⁸Is it firm?

³⁹It is not weak, is it?

⁴⁰Maya is also listening.

⁴¹All of you are waving your flags, and Maya is watching you waving your flags.

⁴²When you keep a fast - of definitely having to become pure - then to keep this fast means to make your attitude elevated.

⁴³As is your attitude, so is your vision, and your actions automatically become like that.

⁴⁴So, you have kept such a fast, have you not?

⁴⁵Pure and clean attitude, pure and clean vision: when you look at one another, what do you look at?

⁴⁶Do you look at the face or at the sparkling soul in the centre of the forehead?

⁴⁷One child said that, when he has to speak to others, or when he has to do something, he has to do that whilst looking at the face, and that the vision goes towards that person’s eyes. ⁴⁸However, sometimes, seeing the face, your attitude changes a little.

⁴⁹BapDada says: together with the eyes, there is also the forehead. ⁵⁰So can you not speak to the soul whilst looking at the centre of the forehead?

⁵¹Now, BapDada is sitting in front of you, so can you tell whether he is looking at your eyes, or at your forehead?

⁵²They are both together.

⁵³So, look at the face, but look at the sparkling star in the centre of the forehead on the face.

⁵⁴Therefore, keep this fast. ⁵⁵You are keeping this fast, but now pay more attention.

⁵⁶You have to speak whilst looking at the soul: the soul is speaking to the soul.

⁵⁷The soul is looking at the soul.

⁵⁸Then your attitude will always remain pure, and, together with that, the other benefit is: that, as is your attitude, so is the atmosphere created.

⁵⁹By creating an elevated atmosphere together with your own effort, service is also done.

⁶⁰So, that is double benefit, is it not?

⁶¹Create such an elevated attitude that, no matter how vicious or impure someone may be, he is transformed by the atmosphere created through your attitude.

⁶²Let there always be this fast in your awareness and in your form.

⁶³Nowadays, BapDada has been looking at the children’s chart. ⁶⁴Instead of creating the atmosphere through your own attitude, sometimes the children become influenced by the atmosphere created by others.

⁶⁵What is the reason for that?

⁶⁶In their heart-to-heart conversations, children speak very sweet things. ⁶⁷They say: I like that one’s speciality, I receive a lot of co- operation from that one. ⁶⁸However, that speciality is a gift from God.

⁶⁹Whatever attainments and specialities you have in Brahmin life, they are Prabhu-prasad (an offering from God), they are God’s gifts.

⁷⁰So you forget the Bestower, and you remember the ones who are the receivers.

⁷¹Prasad (holy offering) is never anyone’s personal possession. ⁷²This is called Prabhu prasad (special offering received from God).

⁷³It is not said to be “prasad of so-and-so”.

⁷⁴You receive co-operation, and that is good, but at least do not forget the Bestower who enables you to receive co-operation.

⁷⁵So, are you keeping a firm fast for this birthday?

⁷⁶Has your attitude changed?

⁷⁷Complete purity - this is keeping a real fast, and making a promise.

⁷⁸So check: you are observing the fast of the big gross vices, but are you free from their little children?
