Mamma's Murli - gyan-sitar-28

⁰17/09/1959

¹The soul is its own friend and its own enemy. ²Everyone receives the return of whatever they do.

³Song: See your face in the mirror of your heart. ...

⁴Om shanti.

⁵Knowledge is said to be a mirror.

⁶This imperishable knowledge from God is a mirror!

⁷You can know the story of human souls, that is, what the story of their karma is.

⁸What will you now see in the mirror of knowledge?

⁹Internally, a very dirty, ugly soul sitting there.

¹⁰People think that God is sitting there, but God is not sitting in anyone.

¹¹God has to come here.

¹²This is why an incarnation has been remembered.

¹³He says: I come when there is extreme irreligiousness.

¹⁴If He were sitting here, He could not say this.

¹⁵When He comes, He enlightens us as to how clean we were, and how ugly we have now become.

¹⁶The story is about this.

¹⁷The beginning, the middle and the end are included in this.

¹⁸This is not a question of one life, but the story from the time that we began to playa part on this stage until now.

¹⁹We did not return home in-between.

²⁰So Baba explains how the soul has been playing a part from the beginning.

²¹This knowledge is a mirror in front of us.

²²In this mirror, there is the entire explanation of everything from the incorporeal world to the subtle and the corporeal worlds.

²³Although people study the Vedas and scriptures, they do not find a mirror through which they can fmd out how the soul has become dirty or how they can clean it.

²⁴If the soul were cleansed through that, then the state of the world would not be what it is today.

²⁵People of the world say that kaliyug is still a small child.

²⁶What would be its state if it were to grow bigger?

²⁷If they had a mirror, why would they let the soul get dirty?

²⁸They would keep the soul clean, would they not?

²⁹We have received a mirror. ³⁰This is why we know that it is essential for God to come at this time.

³¹Since He comes, He must definitely have a place of residence.

³²He is a Resident of the far-away land.

³³He has a task, but it isn't that the task of destruction and establishment continues all the time.

³⁴Birth and death take place according to one's own karmic accounts.

³⁵People are experiencing sorrow because of this.

³⁶If this is God's task, then God is giving sorrow.

³⁷But God's praise is that He is the Bestower of Happiness.

³⁸Generally you do not remember someone who gives you sorrow.

³⁹So there must be some other method of destruction and establishment.

⁴⁰So God explains: I come to destroy that through which you experienced sorrow.

⁴¹I am the One who destroys sin and uplifts sinful souls.

⁴²Sinful souls are now increasing in number a great deal.

⁴³Baba uplifts them and establishes the divine world.

⁴⁴Then He also enables us to create our reward through the sustenance of that world.

⁴⁵Then there is no need to carry out this task.

⁴⁶The coming of God should only be at a particular time.

⁴⁷Baba plants a sapling when the tree has become totally old.

⁴⁸So there is a time for that too.

⁴⁹He will not plant a sapling when expansion is taking place.

⁵⁰So there is a time for God's activities.

⁵¹Even if He were to come now, He would come in one place.

⁵²He also explains the accounts of where He comes and carries out the establishment.

⁵³It is only Bharat that was satopradhan, all the other religions expanded later.

⁵⁴Bharat has existed from the beginning where there were the deity kingdom and religion.

⁵⁵Now they do not exist.

⁵⁶This is why God has to come to establish them.

⁵⁷He only comes once.

⁵⁸Achcha, if He does come, in whom should He come?

⁵⁹He has to take the support of a human body.

⁶⁰He has to inspire human souls to make effort in order to create their reward.

⁶¹How have human souls fallen?

⁶²They have fallen through their actions, and so to reform your actions and to explain to you, God has to take the support of a human body.

⁶³He has to enter a human body whose reward is fixed as being number one ever since the beginning, one whom you can call Adam.

⁶⁴He would make a deity of this one who was first. ⁶⁵I come and tell you through the one who has become dirty first.

⁶⁶So there are circumstances for God's coming.

⁶⁷He would come at the right time.

⁶⁸He Himself is abhogta and akarta (One who does not experience the result of action and One who does not do, but inspires others to do).

⁶⁹He inspires souls who have been here from the beginning; who have taken the complete eighty-four births.

⁷⁰Not everyone takes eighty-four births.

⁷¹Those who come later take fewer births.

⁷²God could not possibly come in them, could He?

⁷³A new sapling would have to be planted from the beginning.

⁷⁴So God sits and explains the entire plan.

⁷⁵He has to carry out His task in this way.

⁷⁶How else could He carty it out?

⁷⁷He has to carry it out through human beings.

⁷⁸It isn't that He does it Himself.

⁷⁹Then He would also have to experience the result.

⁸⁰But it is said: The soul is its own friend and its own enemy.

⁸¹Those who do something will receive the result of it.

⁸²So God does not do anything.

⁸³He inspires souls to do.

⁸⁴There is no other method.

⁸⁵He has to do everything accortllng to the laws.

⁸⁶One has to experience punishment for sins committed.

⁸⁷A reward has to be given to those who make effort.

⁸⁸This is why He explains how He carries out His task.

⁸⁹He also takes help from the subtle deities.

⁹⁰It is through the creation that the new creation has to be created.

⁹¹I am totally detached.

⁹²1 do not have to become involved in these matters.

⁹³I have to carry out the task through clean, pure souls. ⁹⁴However the world is that of totally sinful souls.

⁹⁵There is so much difficulty and so He has to do everything with a particular method.
