Daily Murli for Sunday 17 August 2025

⁰17/08/25 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 16/11/2006 ¹Maintain the honour of your self-respect, know the importance of the time and become ever-ready.

²Today, BapDada is seeing the children everywhere who are worthy of receiving God’s love and are set on the seat of self-respect.

³All the children are set on their seats, but some children are set in the stage of concentration, whereas other children are a little upset in their thoughts.

⁴According to the present time, BapDada wishes to see every child constantly in a concentrated form and as an embodiment of self-respect.

⁵All of you children also wish to be stable in the stage of concentration.

⁶You know all the different types of self-respect, you think about them too, but sometimes you make your concentration fluctuate.

⁷You have a constantly stable stage very little.

⁸You do experience it, and you wish to have this stage, but why is it only sometimes? ⁹What is the reason?

¹⁰It is a lack of paying constant attention.

¹¹If you were to make a list of your points of self-respect, it would be such a long one.

¹²The first self-respect is that you have become the direct children of the Father whom you had been remembering; each of you is a number one child of His.

¹³BapDada has selected all of you children, who are the handful out of multimillions, from everywhere, and made you belong to Him.

¹⁴Out of all five continents the Father made you children belong directly to Him.

¹⁵This is such a huge point of self-respect.

¹⁶You are the first creation of the World Creator.

¹⁷You know this self-respect, do you not?

¹⁸Together with BapDada, He has made all of you children the ancestors of the souls of the whole world.

¹⁹You are the ancestors of the world; you are worthy of worship.

²⁰BapDada has made each of you children an image of support and an example for the world.

²¹Do you have this intoxication? ²²It decreases a little sometimes.

²³Think about it. ²⁴It is the most invaluable throne; it is such an invaluable throne that no one else can attain it throughout the whole cycle. ²⁵Each of you has been given God’s throne, a crown of light and a tilak of awareness.

²⁶Do you remember: “Who am I?

²⁷What is my self-respect?”

²⁸You are feeling intoxicated, are you not? ²⁹No matter how invaluable that golden-aged throne is, it is only you children who receive God’s heart throne.

³⁰BapDada always sees even the last number child in the form of an angel who is to become a deity.

³¹At this moment, you are a Brahmin, from a Brahmin you will become an angel and, from an angel you have to become a deity.

³²Do you know your self-respect?

³³BapDada knows that it is because of forgetting your self-respect that you have body consciousness and arrogance of your body.

³⁴You still become distressed. ³⁵BapDada sees that when you become body conscious or you have arrogance of your body, you become very distressed.

³⁶All of you experience this, do you not?

³⁷To keep the honour of your self-respect and to become distressed by not staying in your self-respect - you know both of these.

³⁸BapDada sees that out of all the children, the majority of you have become knowledge-full very well, but in terms of being full of power, you are not powerful.

³⁹You only have a percentage in this.

⁴⁰BapDada has made every child a child and a master of all His treasures. ⁴¹He has given all of you all the treasures. ⁴²It is not that He has given less or more to some, for they are countless treasures, they are unlimited treasures. ⁴³This is why He has made every child a child and master of the unlimited.

⁴⁴So, now check yourselves. ⁴⁵He is the unlimited Father, He is not a limited father. ⁴⁶He is the unlimited Father and the treasures are also unlimited.

⁴⁷So, do you have them in an unlimited way? ⁴⁸Do you have them all the time or do some of them sometimes get stolen or lost?

⁴⁹Why is Baba drawing your attention to this?

⁵⁰So that you don’t become distressed, so that you are able to remain set on your seat of self-respect and not get upset.

⁵¹You have experienced getting upset for 63 births.

⁵²Do you want to experience that even more?

⁵³Have you not become tired?

⁵⁴Now, maintain your self-respect, that is, maintain your highest-on-high honour.

⁵⁵Why?

⁵⁶So much time has gone by.

⁵⁷You are celebrating your 70th anniversary, are you not?

⁵⁸So, the recognition of yourself means the recognition of your self-respect and remaining stable in your self-respect.

⁵⁹According to the time, now put the word ‘constantly’ (sada) into your practical life. ⁶⁰Do not just underline the word, but underline it in your practical life.

⁶¹“I have to remain this, I will remain like this, I am doing it…, I will do it…”

⁶²These are not the words of the children and masters (balaak so malik) of the unlimited.

⁶³The words that should now continuously emerge in the hearts of all of you are: “I have attained that which I wanted to attain.”

⁶⁴“I am attaining” cannot be said by the children of the unlimited Father with the unlimited treasures. ⁶⁵“I have already attained.”

⁶⁶Ever since you attained BapDada, you have said: “My Baba.” ⁶⁷You have accepted this, you know this, you have accepted it. ⁶⁸Only these words should continuously emerge in your hearts: “I have attained”. ⁶⁹BapDada knows that, because it is only sometimes that you children have self-respect, you keep the importance of the time in your awareness very little.

⁷⁰One is respect for yourself and the other is the importance of the time.

⁷¹You are not ordinary, you are ancestors. ⁷²Each one of you is a support for the souls of the world.

⁷³Think about it. ⁷⁴If you are in upheaval, what would happen to the souls of the world?

⁷⁵Do not think that only those who are called maharathis are the support for the world. ⁷⁶If there are new ones who have come, and today, many new ones must have come, then have the new ones accepted “My Baba” in their heart?

⁷⁷Have you accepted this?

⁷⁸Do you new ones who have come accept this?

⁷⁹Not just those who know, but those who accept, “My Baba”? ⁸⁰Raise your hands!

⁸¹Raise them high!

⁸²The new ones are raising their hands.

⁸³You older ones are pakka (firm) in this, are you not? ⁸⁴Those who have accepted, “My Baba” in their hearts, and the Father has also accepted “My child”, are all responsible.

⁸⁵Why?

⁸⁶From the time that you say that you are a Brahma Kumar or Brahma Kumari, or, whether you say Brahma Kumar or Kumari or Shiv Kumar or Shiv Kumari, or that you belong to both, you are tied.

⁸⁷You then have a crown of responsibility.

⁸⁸You have it, do you not?

⁸⁹Pandavas, speak! ⁹⁰Does each of you have a crown of responsibility?

⁹¹It doesn’t feel heavy, does it?

⁹²It is light, is it not?

⁹³It is of light.

⁹⁴Light is so light (weightless).

⁹⁵Pay attention to the importance of the time.

⁹⁶The time is not going to ask before it comes.

⁹⁷Even now some children say or think that they need to have a little clue, that they should know whether they have 20 years or 10 years.

⁹⁸However, BapDada says: Let alone the time of the final destruction, do you know about the destruction of your own body?

⁹⁹Does any of you know that you will leave your body on such-and-such a date? ¹⁰⁰Do you know?

¹⁰¹Nowadays, bhog is offered for so many Brahmins who have departed.

¹⁰²There is no guarantee. ¹⁰³Therefore, know the importance of the time.

¹⁰⁴This small age is short in time, but it is the age for the greatest attainment, because the greatest Father of all comes here in this small age; He doesn’t come in the other, longer ages.

¹⁰⁵It is in this small age that you have the time to sow the seeds for the attainments of the whole cycle.

¹⁰⁶Even if you attain the kingdom of the world, or you become worthy of worship, this is the time to sow the seeds for the whole cycle, and it is the time to receive double the fruit.

¹⁰⁷You receive the fruit of your devotion at this time and you also receive the instant, visible fruit at this time.

¹⁰⁸You do something and you instantly receive the practical, visible fruit and you also create that for the future.

¹⁰⁹Throughout the whole cycle, is there any other such age?

¹¹⁰It was at this time that the Father gave the greatest of all gifts to the children on the palms of their hands. ¹¹¹Do you remember your gift?

¹¹²The fortune of the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹³Baba has given every child the gift of the heaven of the new world on the palm of your hand.

¹¹⁴No one else gives such a big gift nor could it be given at any other time.

¹¹⁵You receive it at this time.

¹¹⁶You become master almighty authorities at this time. ¹¹⁷In no other age do you receive the status of being a master almighty authority.

¹¹⁸So, concentrate on maintaining your self-respect and also on knowing the importance of the time.

¹¹⁹The self (swayam) and the time (samay): respect for yourself and the importance of the time.

¹²⁰Do not become careless.

¹²¹Seventy years have gone by; if you become careless now, you will reduce your attainments a great deal. ¹²²The further progress you make, the more carelessness there is: “I am very good, I am moving along very well, I will reach there. ¹²³Just see, I won’t be left behind; it will happen.” ¹²⁴This is carelessness and royal laziness.

¹²⁵Carelessness and laziness.

¹²⁶The words, ‘some time’, (kab) indicate laziness and the word ‘now’ (ab) indicates the instant donation that brings about great charity.

¹²⁷So, now, today is the first turn, is it not?

¹²⁸Therefore, BapDada is drawing your attention to this. ¹²⁹This season, you mustn’t come down from your self-respect nor must you forget the importance of the time.

¹³⁰Alert, clever and cautious.

¹³¹You are loved, are you not? ¹³²One cannot bear to see the slightest weakness or defect in someone one loves.

¹³³You were told that BapDada has deep love for even the last child, because that one is Baba’s child.

¹³⁴So, now, in this season (this turn), although it is the season for those of India, the double foreigners are no less. ¹³⁵BapDada has seen that there is no turn in which there are no double foreigners.

¹³⁶This is their wonder.

¹³⁷Now, double foreigners, raise your hands!

¹³⁸Look how many there are.

¹³⁹Your special turn has already gone, and yet look how many of you there are.

¹⁴⁰Congratulations.

¹⁴¹Welcome. ¹⁴²Many, many congratulations.

¹⁴³So, did you hear what you now have to do?

¹⁴⁴You have been given the homework of what needs to be done this season.

¹⁴⁵Realise yourself. ¹⁴⁶Only realise yourself, not others, and become real gold, because BapDada believes that those who say, “My Baba”, will go back with the Father.

¹⁴⁷They will not go as part of the procession.

¹⁴⁸You will go back with BapDada, holding the hand of shrimat, and you will then come into the first kingdom with Father Brahma.

¹⁴⁹There is pleasure in a new home.

¹⁵⁰Even if it is one month old, it is said to be one month old.

¹⁵¹You have to go to your new home, new world, new ways, new customs and systems when you go into the kingdom with Father Brahma.

¹⁵²All of you say that you have a lot of love for Father Brahma. ¹⁵³So, what is the sign of love?

¹⁵⁴To be with him, to return home with him and to come down with him.

¹⁵⁵This is the proof of love.

¹⁵⁶Do you like this?

¹⁵⁷Do you like staying with him, returning with him and then coming down with him?

¹⁵⁸You wouldn’t leave something you like, would you?

¹⁵⁹So, the Father’s responsibility of love for every child is that they return home with Him, and not follow Him afterwards.

¹⁶⁰If something still remains, you will then have to stop for the punishment of Dharamraj.

¹⁶¹In that case, you won’t have your hand in His hand, you will follow later.

¹⁶²In which one is there pleasure?

¹⁶³It is in being with Him, is it not? ¹⁶⁴So, have you made a firm promise?

¹⁶⁵Is your promise to return with him firm, or, are you going to follow behind? ¹⁶⁶Look!

¹⁶⁷You raise your hands very well. ¹⁶⁸BapDada is pleased to see the raised hands, but you have to raise the hand of shrimat.

¹⁶⁹Shiv Baba doesn’t have a hand, and Brahma Baba, the soul, would not have any hands. ¹⁷⁰You too will not have those physical hands; you have to hold the hand of shrimat and return together.

¹⁷¹You will go back together, will you not?

¹⁷²At least nod! ¹⁷³Achcha, you are waving your hands.

¹⁷⁴BapDada’s wish is that not a single child should be left behind, that all should return home together.

¹⁷⁵You have to remain ever-ready.

¹⁷⁶Achcha.

¹⁷⁷Now, BapDada will continue to look at the register of all the children everywhere.

¹⁷⁸You made a promise (vayda) and fulfilled it, which means that you took benefit (fayda).

¹⁷⁹Do not just make a promise, but take benefit from it too.

¹⁸⁰Achcha.

¹⁸¹Now, you will have a determined thought, will you not?

¹⁸²Sit stable in the stage of this determined thought: “I have to do this. ¹⁸³I have to return.

¹⁸⁴I have to return together.”
