Daily Murli for Sunday 31 January 2021

⁰ 31/01/21 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 25/10/87

¹Become detached in four things.

²Today, BapDada is looking at all His elevated children who are seated on a lotus-seat.

³A lotus-seat is a symbol of the elevated stage of Brahmin souls.

⁴A seat is a means of remaining stable.

⁵Brahmin souls remain stable in a lotus-like stage and this is why they are called those seated on a lotus-seat.

⁶Just as Brahmins become deities, those seated on this seat are then able to sit on a throne. ⁷Whether you remain seated on a lotus seat for a long time or a short time, you will accordingly become one seated on the throne of a kingdom for a long time or a short time.

⁸A lotus-seat is a symbol of the extremely detached and loving stage like that of Father Brahma.

⁹You Brahmin children follow the father and this is why you have a lotus seat, the same as the father.

¹⁰The sign of being extremely detached is that you will be extremely loved by the Father and the whole family.

¹¹To be detached means to be detached from everything.

¹²1. To be detached from the awareness of one’s body.

¹³Worldly souls naturally and constantly have the awareness of their bodies while walking and moving along and performing every action. ¹⁴They don't have to make effort to think that they are bodies; they have that awareness easily without even consciously thinking about it.

¹⁵In the same way, Brahmin souls seated on a lotus seat should also easily remain detached from any awareness of their bodies, just as souls without knowledge remain detached from soul consciousness.

¹⁶You are soul conscious; let no awareness of your body pull you towards itself.

¹⁷You saw Father Brahma: while walking and moving along, he naturally had the angelic and deity forms in his awareness.

¹⁸Constantly to have such a soul conscious stage naturally is known as being detached from the awareness of one’s body.

¹⁹Only being detached from any awareness of your body will make you loved by God.

²⁰2. To remain detached from all the relationships of your body with your drishti, attitude and actions.

²¹While seeing bodily relationships, let the soul conscious relationships be naturally in your awareness. ²²This is why "Bhaiya duj" (the occasion of a brother being invited to his sister's place) comes after Deepawali. ²³When you become a sparkling star or a sparkling, eternal lamp, you have the relationship of brotherhood.

²⁴As souls, you have a brotherly relationship and as corporeal Brahmins of the clan of Brahma, you naturally have the pure, elevated relationship of brother and sister in your awareness.

²⁵So, detachment means to be detached from your body and bodily relationships.

²⁶3. To be detached from perishable possessions of your body.

²⁷If a physical possession is causing mischief for any of your physical senses, that is, if there is any attraction to it, then there isn't detachment.

²⁸It is easy to be detached from relationships, but attraction to physical things from which you should be detached still remains in a royal way.

²⁹You were told that a clear form of attraction is a desire, but the subtle and deep form of a desire is to like something.

³⁰You say, "I don't desire it, but I like it." ³¹This subtle form of liking can also take on the form of a desire.

³²So, check this very well: is this physical thing, that is, this means of temporary happiness, pulling me?

³³When a facility is not available at the time you want it, is your spiritual endeavour easy? ³⁴That is, your stage of easy yoga does not fluctuate, does it?

³⁵You are not influenced by any facility or compelled by your habits, are you?

³⁶All of those physical facilities are facilities of matter.

³⁷You are conquerors of matter, that is, you are Brahmins seated on a lotus seat, beyond the support of matter.

³⁸Together with becoming conquerors of Maya, you also become conquerors of matter.

³⁹As soon as you become conquerors of Maya, Maya repeatedly tests you in various ways. ⁴⁰She sees that her companions are becoming conquerors of Maya, so she gives many test papers.

⁴¹The test paper of matter brings all of you into upheaval through the facilities.

⁴²Water shortage, for instance. ⁴³That was not a big paper.

⁴⁴However, just as facilities are made with water and facilities are made with fire, in the same way, facilities made with every element of matter are the basis of temporary happiness for human souls in their lives.

⁴⁵So, all of these elements will test you.

⁴⁶Then, there was just the shortage of water, but when the facilities made with water are not available, that will then be a real test paper.

⁴⁷These test papers from the elements will definitely come at their time. ⁴⁸This is why you have to become free from being attracted by any possessions of your body and remain free from any support of your body.

⁴⁹At present, all facilities are easily available to you; there is nothing lacking.

⁵⁰However, while all the facilities are available and while you experiment with all the facilities, your stage of yoga should not fluctuate.

⁵¹To experiment as a yogi means to be detached.

⁵²When you don't have anything anyway, that is not called being detached.

⁵³However, whilst having everything, use them for the sake of it and experiment with them without being attracted by them. ⁵⁴Do not use them because you want or like them. ⁵⁵Definitely check yourself in this way.

⁵⁶Where there is some desire, then, no matter how much effort you make, that desire (ichcha) will not allow you to become good (achcha).

⁵⁷Otherwise, at the time of taking a test paper, your time will be spent making effort.

⁵⁸You will try to be absorbed in making spiritual endeavour (sadhna) but the facilities (sadhan) will attract you to themselves.

⁵⁹You will continue to battle and make effort to try and finish the attraction of the facilities and your time for the test paper will pass by in this tug of war.

⁶⁰So, what would the result be then?

⁶¹The facilities with which you experiment make your stage of an easy yogi fluctuate.

⁶²The test papers from the elements are now going to come at a greater speed. ⁶³Therefore, check in advance that none of the supports of physical things - food, drink, clothes, your way of interacting, living and forming connections with others – check that none of these things take the form of an obstacle even in a subtle way.

⁶⁴Try this out now.

⁶⁵Do not begin to try when the test paper comes; there would then be a margin for failure.

⁶⁶The stage of yoga means to have a detached stage while experimenting.

⁶⁷Let the spiritual endeavour of an easy yogi be victorious over the facilities, that is, over matter.

⁶⁸Let it not be that you are able to make do without one but not without the other and that is why your stage fluctuates. ⁶⁹That would not be called a detached life.

⁷⁰Attain such success that, through your success, even things unattained give you the feeling of attainment.

⁷¹At the beginning of establishment, in order to test whether they were attracted to things or not, programmes were purposely made to test them on this.

⁷²For instance, for fifteen days they were given just millet chapattis and buttermilk to eat. ⁷³They had to try this out when wheat was available.

⁷⁴No matter how ill some were, they had to eat just this for fifteen days.

⁷⁵No one fell ill (because of this).

⁷⁶Those who were asthma patients became well.

⁷⁷They had the intoxication that BapDada had given that programme.

⁷⁸On the path of devotion, it is said that poison turned into nectar, but this was buttermilk.

⁷⁹Faith and intoxication make you victorious in every situation.

⁸⁰Such test papers will also come; you will just have dry chapattis to eat.

⁸¹At present, you have all facilities.

⁸²You might say: Your teeth are not strong enough, you are unable to digest it.

⁸³What will you do at that time?

⁸⁴When you have faith, intoxication and power from the success of yoga, even dry chapattis will work like soft chapattis and you won't get upset.

⁸⁵If you maintain the pride of being an embodiment of success, no one can then upset you.

⁸⁶When lions become like cats in front of hatha yogis and snakes become like toys, then none of these things are a big deal in front of you easy Raj Yogi souls, who are embodiments of success.

⁸⁷If you have the facility, use it comfortably, but check that you are not deceived at that time (when the time comes).

⁸⁸Do not let the situation bring you down from your stage.

⁸⁹It is easy to become detached from relationships of your body, but you have to pay a lot of attention to being detached from the things of your body.

⁹⁰4. To be detached from your old nature and sanskars.

⁹¹The nature and sanskars of old bodies are very strong.

⁹²Those too become a big obstacle in becoming a conqueror of Maya.

⁹³Many times, BapDada has seen that the snake of an old nature and sanskars finish, but that the line still remains; it repeatedly deceives you at that time (when the time comes).

⁹⁴Your strong nature and sanskars make you so influenced by Maya that you often don't even consider something wrong to be wrong.

⁹⁵The power of realisation finishes.

⁹⁶In order to be detached from this, you need to have very good checking.

⁹⁷When the power of realisation finishes, you have to tell a thousand lies in order to justify your one lie.

⁹⁸You become so influenced.

⁹⁹To try to prove yourself right is also a sign of being influenced by your old sanskars.

¹⁰⁰One is to clarify something that is right, and the other is to justify yourself by being stubborn.

¹⁰¹Those who try to prove themselves right by being stubborn cannot become embodiments of success.

¹⁰²You also have to check that not even the slightest trace of any of your old nature or sanskars remains hidden somewhere. ¹⁰³Do you understand?

¹⁰⁴Those who are detached in all these four things are said to be loved by the Father and also loved by the family.

¹⁰⁵Have you become those seated on a lotus seat in this way?

¹⁰⁶This is called "follow father".

¹⁰⁷It was when Father Brahma became seated on a lotus seat that he became number one loved by the Father and also loved by Brahmins, whether in the corporeal form or now, in the avyakt form.

¹⁰⁸Even now, what emerges in the heart of each and every Brahmin?

¹⁰⁹Our Brahma Baba.

¹¹⁰You don't feel that you didn't see him in the corporeal form.

¹¹¹You didn't see him with your eyes, but you saw him with your heart; you saw him with the divine eye of your intellect; you experienced him. ¹¹²This is why every Brahmin says from his or her heart: My Brahma Baba.

¹¹³This is a sign of being loved.

¹¹⁴Detachment from everything made him loved by the world.

¹¹⁵So, in the same way, become detached from everything and be loved by all.

¹¹⁶Do you understand?

¹¹⁷Those from Gujarat live close by and so they are also close in following.

¹¹⁸Your speciality is to be close both geographically and in your stage.

¹¹⁹BapDada is always pleased to see the children.

¹²⁰Achcha.

¹²¹To all the detached children everywhere who are loved by the Father and are seated on a lotus-seat, to the special souls who are constantly conquerors of Maya and conquerors of matter, to the faithful children who always follow the father, BapDada's love-filled remembrance and namaste.

¹²²BapDada meeting groups: ¹²³1) To the server brothers and sisters who have come to Madhuban: During the time that you spent doing service in Madhuban, did you also experience constant yoga for that time?

¹²⁴Your yoga did not break, did it?

¹²⁵To be a server in Madhuban means to experience being a constant and easy yogi.

¹²⁶You will always remember this experience of a short time, will you not?

¹²⁷Whenever any adverse situation comes up, just come to Madhuban in your mind.

¹²⁸Then, by becoming a resident of Madhuban, you will become an easy yogi and the situation or problem will end.

¹²⁹Always keep this experience of yours with you.

¹³⁰By remembering this experience, you will receive power.

¹³¹The fruit of service is imperishable.

¹³²Achcha.

¹³³It is not a small thing to receive this chance; you have received a very big chance.

¹³⁴A server means one who is always an instrument, like the Father, one who remains humble.

¹³⁵Humility is the most elevated means of success.

¹³⁶In doing any service, humility and being an instrument are the means of success.

¹³⁷So, did you serve with these specialities?

¹³⁸In doing such service, there is always success and also pleasure.

¹³⁹You enjoy the pleasure of the confluence age and this is why you don't feel service to be service.

¹⁴⁰For instance, when someone wrestles, he does that with enjoyment considering it to be a sport.

¹⁴¹There is no tiredness or pain in that because he does that considering it to be entertainment and for enjoying himself.

¹⁴²In the same way, if you serve with the speciality of a true server, there can then never be tiredness. ¹⁴³Do you understand?

¹⁴⁴You will always feel that you didn't do service, but that you were just playing a game.
