Daily Murli for Sunday 18 December 2022

⁰ 18/12/22 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 18/02/1993

¹The breath of Brahmin life is constant zeal and enthusiasm.

²Today, Trimurti Father Shiva is especially seeing all His children in three relationships.

³The first most loving relationship is that of your being the masters of all attainments, the heirs. ⁴As well as being heirs, you are Godly students and, along with that, you are those who are loved by the Satguru, because you follow Him at every step.

⁵Trimurti Father Shiva is seeing the children especially in these three relationships.

⁶In fact, you are the souls who are experienced in fulfilling the responsibility of all relationships, but today, Baba is especially seeing the three relationships.

⁷All of you love these three relationships.

⁸Today, all of you have come running here with enthusiasm in order to celebrate Trimurti Shiv Jayanti.

⁹Have you come to give congratulations to the Father or have you come to receive congratulations from the Father?

¹⁰You have come to do both. ¹¹Since the very name is Shiv Jayanti and Shiv Ratri, what does Trimurti prove?

¹²What does He do through Prajapita Brahma?

¹³He creates the creation of you Brahmins.

¹⁴You are then sustained.

¹⁵So the word Trimurti proves that together with the Father are you Brahmin souls.

¹⁶What would the Father do by Himself?

¹⁷This is why the birthday of the Father also means the birthday of you Brahmin children.

¹⁸This is why the Father is giving you children multimillionfold congratulations for this alokik, divine birth, this diamond birth.

¹⁹Your letters and cards of congratulations have already reached the Father, and, even now, many children are singing songs of congratulations from their hearts. ²⁰Whether they are far away or whether they are personally in front of Baba, Baba’s ears can hear the songs of congratulations, even from those who are far away.

²¹In return, BapDada is giving multimillionfold congratulations to the children of this land and of foreign lands.

²²All of you children know that to celebrate any festival in Brahmin life means to create an elevated life constantly filled with zeal and enthusiasm.

²³In the alokik dictionary of Brahmins, to celebrate means to become.

²⁴So, will you simply celebrate the festival today, or will you create a life constantly filled with zeal and enthusiasm?

²⁵You have a life when there is breath in those physical bodies.

²⁶What would your life be if your breath finished? ²⁷It would be finished.

²⁸So, too, the breath of Brahmin life is constant zeal and enthusiasm.

²⁹In Brahmin life, if there isn't zeal and enthusiasm at every second, then that is not Brahmin life.

³⁰However, the speed of your breathing also has to be normal.

³¹If your breathing is very fast, then that is not a normal life and if it is slow, then too, it would not be called a normal life.

³²You either have high pressure or low pressure.

³³So that would not be called a normal life.

³⁴So, here, too, check: is the speed of the zeal and enthusiasm of my Brahmin life normal?

³⁵Or, is it sometimes very fast and sometimes very slow?

³⁶Or, does it remain constant?

³⁷It should be constant, should it not?

³⁸If it is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, that is not good. ³⁹This is why every moment of the confluence age is a festival.

⁴⁰You specially celebrate a special day for your entertainment because, in Brahmin life, where else would you go for entertainment?

⁴¹You would only entertain yourself here, would you not? ⁴²You would not especially go to the seaside or to a park or to a club, would you?

⁴³The seaside, the park and the club are all here.

⁴⁴This Brahmin club is good, is it not?

⁴⁵So, the breath of Brahmin life is zeal and enthusiasm.

⁴⁶So your breathing is normal, is it not? ⁴⁷Or does it fluctuate?

⁴⁸So BapDada continues to check each child.

⁴⁹He does not have to check with a stethoscope in His ears.

⁵⁰Nowadays, science has made everything automatic.

⁵¹Shiv Ratri or Shiv Jayanti - you know the significance of both very clearly, do you not?

⁵²You can also tell others, can you not? ⁵³You know the significance of both and you are also able to tell others about it clearly.

⁵⁴As well as the birthday of the Father, it is also the birthday of you children.

⁵⁵So you can relate the significance of your own birthday, can you not?

⁵⁶The memorials are also celebrated by the devotees with a lot of love and devotion. ⁵⁷However, the difference is that they hold a fast on Shiv Ratri every year, whereas you have a picnic. ⁵⁸As soon as you take birth, all of you have a fast just once for all time, that is, for your entire Brahmin life.

⁵⁹This is why you do not have to fast again and again.

⁶⁰They have to fast every year whereas you Brahmin souls made a vow the moment you took birth: that you would become constantly perfect and complete like the Father.

⁶¹You made this strong vow, did you not? ⁶²Or, is it a little weak?

⁶³Since the relationship between you souls and the Supreme Soul is eternal, what should the vow be?

⁶⁴It should be eternal, should it not? ⁶⁵So the people of the world simply have a fast of their food and drink.

⁶⁶What does this show? ⁶⁷You have made a vow in your Brahmin life for your food and drink for all time, have you not?

⁶⁸Or, are you free to do what you want? ⁶⁹To eat or drink whatever you want?

⁷⁰No. ⁷¹Have you made the vow firm? ⁷²Or, do you break your vow when you get tired?

⁷³If you sometimes do not have any time, is it that you get something from outside and eat that?

⁷⁴Do you sometimes become slack in fulfilling your vow?

⁷⁵Look, your devotees hold a fast, even if it is once a year, but they still follow that code of conduct.

⁷⁶Since your devotees are firm in their fast, how firm should you be?

⁷⁷Are you firm?

⁷⁸Or, do you sometimes become slack? ⁷⁹“It doesn't matter if we offer bhog tomorrow and not today.”

⁸⁰So this is a memorial of your unlimited fast in the life of you Brahmin souls.

⁸¹On this day especially, people also make a vow of purity.

⁸²Firstly, they make a vow of purity and, secondly, they make a vow regarding their food and drink. ⁸³Thirdly, they never cause any type of sorrow to anyone or deceive anyone in any way throughout the whole day.

⁸⁴They too make that vow. ⁸⁵However, the vow of your Brahmin life is unlimited, whereas theirs is for one day.

⁸⁶So you imbibed the vow of purity in Brahmin life as soon as you took birth, did you not?

⁸⁷Purity is not just celibacy, but the vow of purity is to gain victory over the five vices. ⁸⁸This is called the vow of purity.

⁸⁹So, check to what extent you are successful in your vow of purity.

⁹⁰Just as you pay special attention to celibacy, that is, to conquering the greatest enemy, lust, in the same way, do you also pay the same attention to conquering the four companions of lust, the greatest enemy? ⁹¹Or, do you allow yourself some freedom in that?

⁹²That it does not matter if you get a little angry?

⁹³You are not allowed to, but you allow yourself that freedom.

⁹⁴It has been seen that you give freedom to the children of anger.

⁹⁵You have chased away the great evil spirit of anger, but you still have love for its children.

⁹⁶Just as little children are loved very much, so too, the little children of anger are sometimes loved very much.

⁹⁷So a vow means a vow of complete purity.

⁹⁸Many children tell Baba many very good things.

⁹⁹They say: I did not get angry, but I was made angry, so what can I do?

¹⁰⁰I did not get angry, but what can I do if others make me angry?

¹⁰¹They say something very entertaining.

¹⁰²They say: If You had been there at that time, You too would have got angry.

¹⁰³So what would BapDada say: BapDada says: Achcha, you are forgiven, but do not do it in future.

¹⁰⁴Shiv Ratri means to finish the darkness of the night and to bring the light.

¹⁰⁵It means the rise of the master suns of knowledge. ¹⁰⁶This is Shiv Ratri.

¹⁰⁷So you are those in this world who become master suns of knowledge, who finish the darkness and bring about light.

¹⁰⁸So what would those who bring light into the world be themselves?

¹⁰⁹They would not be in the dark, would they?

¹¹⁰You are not like little lamps.

¹¹¹There is darkness below the little lamps and light above them.

¹¹²You are master suns of knowledge.

¹¹³So a master sun of knowledge is himself a form of light and might and also gives light and might to others.

¹¹⁴So where there is constant light, there is no question of darkness; there cannot be any darkness.

¹¹⁵So, complete purity means light.

¹¹⁶Darkness cannot remain with those souls who dispel darkness. ¹¹⁷Can there be any darkness?

¹¹⁸Can darkness come to you?

¹¹⁹OK, it may not remain, but does it come to you and then go away?

¹²⁰Is this possible? ¹²¹If there is the slightest trace of any vice, would you call that light or darkness?

¹²²So the darkness has finished, has it not?

¹²³You show a picture of Shiv Ratri, do you not?

¹²⁴What do you show in that picture?

¹²⁵How the darkness is being dispelled. ¹²⁶Or, does a little still remain?

¹²⁷What will you especially do on this Shiv Ratri?

¹²⁸Will you do anything or will you just hoist a flag?

¹²⁹What will you do? ¹³⁰Will you just make a promise as you do every year, “I will not do this, I will not do that”, and then do it?

¹³¹It is not like that, is it? ¹³²You were also told earlier that a promise means, that even if you die, the promise should not be broken.

¹³³No matter what you have to renounce, no matter what you have to hear, your promise should not be broken.

¹³⁴It should not be that when there are no problems, your promise is fine, but when any problems come, the problem becomes powerful and your promise becomes weak.

¹³⁵That is not called a promise.

¹³⁶A promise means a promise.

¹³⁷So make such a promise with your mind, not just in words.

¹³⁸Those who make a promise because others ask them to, have a powerful thought at that time.

¹³⁹Those who make a promise when others ask them to have some power, but they do not have all the powers.

¹⁴⁰You make a promise in your mind, and to whom do you make it?

¹⁴¹To the Father.

¹⁴²To make a promise to the Father and to make it with your mind means to make the mind “Manmanabhav”. ¹⁴³This mantra of “Manmanabhav” then constantly becomes the weapon for any situation.

¹⁴⁴However, this will only happen when you make it with your mind.

¹⁴⁵Let it enter your mind: “I must not do this.” ¹⁴⁶If there is a thought in your mind: “I will try, I have to do it. ¹⁴⁷I have to become. ¹⁴⁸What will happen if I don't do it like this?

¹⁴⁹What will I do? ¹⁵⁰That is why I had better do it.” ¹⁵¹This is then known as a little bit of compulsion.

¹⁵²Those who do it with the mind will never think: “It has to be done, it must be done.”

¹⁵³They will think that the Father has said it and so it is certain that it has already happened.

¹⁵⁴This is the promise of those who are in the first number, whereas the promise of those in the second number is: We have to become that, we have to do it, but we don't know when it will happen.

¹⁵⁵It means that those who think, “If, if”, have become parrots. ¹⁵⁶BapDada has the full file of how many times each one has made a promise.

¹⁵⁷The files have become very thick.

¹⁵⁸You must no longer compile a file, but make it final.

¹⁵⁹When someone says to BapDada, “Let us make everyone write down their promise”, the whole file emerges in front of BapDada.

¹⁶⁰Do you still want to do this?

¹⁶¹Do you still want to add papers to your file?

¹⁶²Or, will you make a final promise? ¹⁶³BapDada saw one main reason for a weak promise.

¹⁶⁴That one word comes up in many different royal forms and it makes you weak.

¹⁶⁵So this one word is one of body consciousness, “I”.

¹⁶⁶This word “I” deceives you.

¹⁶⁷“I think this”, “I can do this”, “But only I can do this”, “What I said was right”, “What I thought was right”.

¹⁶⁸So this “I” in different royal forms makes your promise weak.

¹⁶⁹Eventually, you become weak and have thoughts of hopelessness: “I cannot tolerate so much”, “I can't do so much that I can make myself completely humble”, “I can't listen to so much”, “I can't overcome so many difficulties”, “It is difficult”.
