Shanti 13/01/86
Brahmin life, a life of constant,
unlimited happiness.
Today, BapDada is looking at the
gathering of His holy and happy swans. Do all of you always
remain happy as well as holy? Holy means the visible form of purity and is constantly revealed
in the form of happiness. If there isn’t happiness, there is definitely some
impurity, that is, some thoughts or deeds are not correct and this is why there
isn’t happiness. Impurity does not just mean the five vices. For perfect souls,
for those who are to become deity souls, to have incorrect, wasteful or
ordinary thoughts, words and actions is not complete purity. You are coming
close to your perfect stage. Therefore, according to the present time, let
there be no wasteful or ordinary actions. There has to be checking and changing in this too. The more powerful and elevated your
thoughts, words and actions are, the more you will experience the sparkle of
happiness and the intoxication of being fortunate - and also give that
experience to others. BapDada was checking
these two things in all the children: to what extent have you imbibed purity;
to what extent is there still anything wasteful or ordinary? And, to what
extent do you have spiritual happiness, imperishable happiness and inner
happiness? The aim of all the Brahmin children who adopt this Brahmin life is
to remain constantly happy. You have become Brahmins in order to lead a life of
happiness. You have not become Brahmins to make effort laboriously or always to
be experiencing one form of upheaval or another.

You have become Brahmins in order to attain spiritual, inner happiness
and supersensuous joy which cannot be attained throughout the rest of the whole
cycle. However, you have to check
that your happiness is not based on any facilities, limited attainment,
temporary success, respect or glory, or limited desires of the mind you have
received, or because you like a particular person, place or possession. Check
that your happiness is not based on your personal likings. The happiness based
on those things is not real happiness; it is not imperishable happiness. If the
support shakes, your happiness also shakes. You have not become Brahmins to
attain that sort of happiness. Even people of the world have happiness based on
temporary attainments. Their slogan is also: Eat, drink and be merry! However,
when that temporary support ends, their happiness also ends. In Brahmin life
too, if you experience happiness based on those supports, then what is the
difference? You have become the children of the Ocean of Happiness and you are
therefore those who flow with the waves of happiness in every thought and at
every second. You are constant
treasures of happiness. This is called being a holy and happy
swan. BapDada was seeing that your aim is to have constant inner happiness
without any limited support. However, some children move away from their aim
and instead become trapped in the small side streets of limited attainments. In
this way they become distant from their aim, that is, from their destination.
They leave the highway and
become trapped in the side streets. They leave their aim of happiness and chase
after limited attainments. If, today, their name is glorified or their work is
accomplished and their desires are fulfilled, then they are happy. If they
attain something they like or their thoughts are fulfilled, then they are very
happy. If there is something lacking even slightly, they become stuck and their
aim remains on one side. Their aim becomes limited and they therefore step away
from unlimited, imperishable happiness. So, BapDada was asking: Is this why you
have become Brahmins? Is this why you have adopted this spiritual life? That is
an ordinary life! That is not called an elevated life.
No matter what work you do, no matter how big the service task is that
you are carrying out, anything that brings you down from attaining inner
happiness, spiritual pleasure and unlimited happiness, that is, anything that
brings you into the limited that, if today there is pleasure and tomorrow there
is confusion, today there is happiness and tomorrow you are put into a turmoil,
if it deprives you of happiness then put aside that service but do not let go
of your happiness. Real service always gives you the experience of an unlimited
stage and unlimited happiness. If there isn’t this experience, then that
service is mixed. That is not
real service. Always keep the aim of experiencing self-progress, attainment for
the self, contentment and greatness by doing service. Where there is the
greatness of contentment, there will be the experience of imperishable
attainment. Service means to enable the flower garden to flourish. Service
means to experience the flower garden and not to become trapped in the jungle
of thorns. Some lack of attainment, lack of pleasure or confusion in the mind -
to experience pleasure one moment and to become confused the next - these are
thorns. To step away from these thorns means to experience unlimited happiness.
No matter what happens, even if you have to renounce some limited attainment,
even if you have to renounce many things, let go of those things, but do not
let go of your happiness. Do not step away from the aim with which you came
here. Carry out this subtle checking.
You are happy, but make sure that you do not consider happiness based on
temporary attainments to be your happiness. Check that you do not consider any sidescenes to be your destination,
for sidescenes can be very
attractive. However, to reach your destination means to claim a right to the
unlimited kingdom. Those who step aside from their destination cannot claim a
right to the kingdom of the world. They cannot even become part of the royal family. Therefore, always keep
your aim and destination in your awareness. Ask yourself: While moving along, I
haven’t gone into any limited streets, have I? The happiness of temporary
attainment is not making you step away from the fortune of eternal happiness,
is it? You are not those who are happy with just a little, are you? You are not
just pleasing yourself, thinking, "Whatever I am, however, I am, I am fine
and I am happy”, are you? The sign of imperishable happiness is that you will
definitely constantly be attaining blessings of happiness from others. The
blessings of love from BapDada and the seniors will give you the experience of
internally moving along in an ocean of alokik and spiritual happiness. Out of
carelessness, do not think: I am fine, but others do not know me. Can the light
of the sun remain hidden? The fragrance of truth can never end. It cannot
remain hidden. Therefore, never allow yourself to be deceived. Make this lesson
firm. First is your unlimited, imperishable happiness and next is anything
else. Unlimited happiness will automatically enable you to experience the
elevated fortune of service, of everyone’s love and the fortune of receiving
imperishable respect from everyone. Those who are constantly happy are
fortunate. They easily receive all attainments without effort, without any
desires and without saying anything. Have you made this lesson firm?
BapDada is seeing why you have come, where you have to go to and where
you are going. If you have renounced the limited but are still going into the
limited, then when will you experience the unlimited? BapDada has love for you
children. You would not call it mercy because you are not beggars. You are the
children of the Bestower and the Bestower of Fortune. Mercy is for those who
are sorrowful. You are embodiments of happiness, children of the Bestower of
Happiness. Do you now understand what you have to do? This year, BapDada is
repeatedly drawing your attention
to various things. This year is especially being given to pay attention to the self. People of the
world simply say, "Eat, drink and be merry!” However, BapDada says: Eat
and serve others. Stay in pleasure and bring pleasure to others. Achcha.
To those who constantly stay in imperishable and unlimited happiness, to
those who experience the fortune of happiness in every act, to those who
distribute the treasure of happiness to everyone, to those who always spread
the fragrance of happiness, to those who always move along with waves of zeal
and enthusiasm of happiness, to those who constantly maintain their sparkle and
intoxication, to the elevated souls who attain the elevated aim, BapDada’s
love, remembrance and namaste to keep you constantly holy and happy.
BapDada
meeting groups:
Whilst living with your families, you are always detached and loving to
the Father, are you not? You are never attached to your families, are you? If
there is attachment to anyone, that becomes an obstacle in your life for all
time. Therefore, remain constantly free from obstacles and continue to move
forward. Become Angad as in the previous cycle and remain unshakeable and
immovable. What speciality is Angad shown to have? His intellect had such faith
that no one could even shake his foot. Maya will come in various ways to try
and make your faith, in the form of your foot, shake. However, Maya may shake
but the foot of your faith must not shake. Maya surrenders herself to you. You will not surrender to her, will you? Surrender yourself to the Father, not to Maya. Those whose
intellects have such faith always remain carefree. If there is the slightest
worry, then faith is lacking. When there is sometimes the slightest worry about
something, the reason for that is definitely a lack of faith in something or
other, whether it is a lack of faith in the drama, a lack of faith in oneself
or a lack of faith in the Father. If there is the slightest lack of faith in
any one of the three types of faith, you cannot remain carefree. The biggest illness
is worry. Even doctors don’t
have any cure for the illness of worry. They might give you sleeping pills to
put you to sleep temporarily,
but they will not be able to cure your illness for all time. The more those
with worry run after some attainment, the more that attainment runs ahead of
them. Therefore, always let the foot of your faith remain unshakeable. The foot
means constantly to have one strength and one support. Whether you call it
strength or faith, it is the same thing. Victory for the children whose
intellects have such faith is guaranteed.
2. Do you always surrender yourselves to the Father? You are the ones
who will fulfil the promise you made on the path of devotion, are you not? What
did you promise? That you will always surrender yourself to Him. To surrender
means to remain constantly surrendered and become powerful. So, have you
surrendered or are you going to surrender? To surrender means "Nothing is
mine.” The consciousness of "mine” finishes. Even the body is not
"mine”. So, do you ever become body conscious? It is when you have the
consciousness of "mine” that there is body consciousness. To remain beyond
even this consciousness means to surrender. Therefore, continue to finish the
consciousness of "mine” for all time. Continue to experience everything as
"Yours”. The more experienced you become, the more you become an
embodiment of authority. Such
ones can never be deceived. They cannot experience waves of sorrow. So always
continue to relate stories of your experience to everyone. An experienced soul
attains greater success in a short time. Achcha.
At
the time of farewell, giving love and remembrance for the 14th January
(Makar-sankranti) festival of kite flying.
People have marked the significance of this day by always eating and
serving food to others. They eat something and they serve others something.
They either donate sesame seeds or eat them. ‘Sesame seeds’ are very tiny
points. When something happens, and it may be something very minor, they say
that it is like a sesame seed. If it is big, it is said to be like a mountain.
So, there is a great difference between a mountain and a sesame seed.
Significance is given to sesame seeds, because you become extremely subtle
points. It is when you become point-forms that you become kites in the flying
stage. So, sesame seeds also have significance. Sesame seeds are always mixed
together with something sweet; sesame seeds are never eaten by themselves.
Sweetness is a sign of bringing them together with love. When something sweet
is mixed with the seeds, you enjoy them. If you were to eat the sesame seeds by
themselves, you would find them bitter, but when something sweet is mixed with
them, they are very good. So, when you souls come into a relationship with
sweetness, when you have that love, you become elevated. So, this is a memorial
of collective sweetness. There is a symbol for that too. So, always bring the
power of the gathering into yourself. On the basis of sweetness, become a
point-form and be a kite and fly in the flying stage. That is the significance
of this day. So, to celebrate means to become. You become this whereas those
people simply celebrate it for a short time. To donate here means to donate
whatever weaknesses you have. Just consider it to be something minor and donate
it. Consider it to be like a sesame seed and give it away. Do not consider it
to be something major and think, "I have to renounce it, I have to give it
away.” No. Donate it whilst considering it to be something as small as a sesame
seed. Consider it to be something minor and give it away happily. This is the
significance of donating. Do you understand?
Always be loving, always remain part of the gathering and always
consider something major to be something minor and finish it, by burning it in
a fire. That is the signifance. So, you have celebrated, have you not? You have
lit the fire of determined action. People especially light a fire on this day.
So, this is the day for transforming sanskars. They call it "sankranti”
and you call it the day for transforming sanskars. Achcha, love, remembrance
and good morning to everyone for remaining
constantly successful with love and the power of the gathering.
Blessing:
May you constantly stay in the awareness of God and your fortune and
become a most elevated, fortunate soul.
At the confluence age, God serves His children in the living form. On
the path of devotion, everyone serves God, but here, God Himself serves you
living idols. He awakens you at amrit vela, offers bhog to you and puts you to
sleep. Those who go to sleep with the record (song played at night) and those
who awaken to the record (amrit vela song) – "We Brahmins are especially
loved and are the most elevated fortunate souls” – constantly continue to swing
in the happiness of this fortune. Simply become those who are especially loved
by the Father, not by Maya. Those who are loved by Maya play a lot of childish
games.
Slogan:
To give the experience of
all attainments with your cheerful face is real service.
