Flowers - then and now

Omshanti. This is what ShivBaba had said through Brahma Baba about the importance of flowers in the Yagya or Brahmin family:

"Baba kahtey hain, na mai pujaari hoon, na mai poojya banta hoon. Isliye mai na haar pahanta hoon, na pahnaaney padtey hain. Fir ham kyon foolon ko sweekaar karein. Tum bhi sweekar nahee kar saktey ho. Kaaydey anusaar un devataaon ka hak hai, unki aatma aur sharir pavitra hain. Vahee hakdaar hain foolon kay." (BKs dwara prakaashit revised Sakar Murli taareekh 28.06.06, pg 3)

"Baba says – neither do I become worshipper nor worshipworthy. That is why neither do I wear garlands, nor do others have to offer me garlands. Then why should we accept flowers. You too cannot accept. As per rules, it is the right of those deities. Their soul and body is pure. It is they alone that are entitled to accept flowers. There in the heaven there are fragrant flowers only.” (Revised Sakar Murli dated 28.06.06, pg 2&3 published by BKs)

And this is what is taking place in the Brahmin family at present:

"BapDada ke paas foolon ke shringaar vaaley group kee yaadpyaar bhi aayi hai, (Calcutta ke bhai-bahinein) vah sangathan utho kahaan hai. Dekho sabhi ko foolon ka shringaar achha lagaa na. Foolon ka shringaar toh common baat hai, log bhi kartey hain, lekin aapke shringaar aur logon ke shringaar may farq hai ki aapney snehi swaroop ban shringaar kiya hai, vah duty samajhke kartey hain aur aapney sneh say kiya hai toh jahaan sneh hota hai vah foolon kee sugandh aur shringaar aur sundar ho jaati hai. Toh BapDada ko achha lagaa ki sneh dekho Calcutta say yahaan ley aatey hain toh sneh ke vimaan may laaye na, train may nahee laaye, sneh ke vimaan may laaye hain, achha hai. Jo aaney vaaley aapke bhai-bahin hain, vah bhi dekh karke khush ho jaatey hain, vaah! kamaal hai, kamaal hai." (BKs dwara prakaashit Avyakt Vani dinaank 18.01.07, pg.4 & 5)

"BapDada has recieved the yaadpyaar of the group related to floral decoration also. (Brothers and Sisters of Calcutta) Where is that gathering? Please get up. Look, everyone liked the decoration of flowers, did they not? Floral decoration is a common thing. People also do it. But the difference between the decoration done by you and the decoration done by other people is that you have decorated by becoming an embodiment of affection. They do it as a duty and you have done it with love. So wherever there is love, the fragrance of flowers and the decoration becomes even more beautiful. So BapDada felt nice that – look, they bring (the flowers) from Calcutta to this place. So they have brought it in the plane of love, haven’t they? They haven’t brought it in train, they have brought it in the plane of love; it is good. Your Brothers and Sisters, who come, also watch and feel happy. Vow! It is a wonder, it is a wonder." (Avyakt Vani dated 18.01.07, page 4 & 5 published by BKs and narrated through Gulzar Dadiji)

Then - accepting flowers was against rules.

Now - flowers are being transported in planes from Calcutta to Mount Abu travelling a distance of more than thousand miles.

And like other violations of Shrimat, Mother Brahma has to ignore/overlook this violation also while covering the violation with a coat of honey that decoration done with love is different from the decoration done as a duty in the outside world.

Omshanti. The above words spoken by Avyakt BapDada to the group of BKs related to floral decoration on 18.01.07 could be seen as a continuation of the following words spoken by BapDada in the same Avyakt Vani:

"All those who are heads, those in-charges - there are many in Shantivan, Gyaan sarovar and Pandav Bhavan, everywhere. Give a list of the names of those who are in-charge to BapDada. BapDada will take an account from them. And the teachers who are in-charge - whether of a centre or zone - we will have a gathering of them one day. Baba will ask for all the accounts, will He not ? This is because the sound of a lot of sorrow and peacelessness reaches BapDada. Sounds of distress come to BapDada. Can you people not hear it? There would be your devotees too, would they not? So can you, the specially beloved deities, not hear the call of the devotees ? Can the teachers hear the sound of the devotees? Achcha."

The BKs would not have revealed this wasteful expenditure to their own followers or the outsiders, but Avyakt BapDada took upon himself the responsibility to give a subtle hint to the BKs that they are wasting money on unnecessary things. You would have noted that BapDada has hinted that the BKs have not even transported the flowers by train, but by Plane traversing a distance of more than 2000 kms (as per the Indian Railways website). The BKs have hundreds of acres of land under their control at Mount Abu and Abu Road where they grow a number of varieties of flowers and on large areas. Would those flowers not suffice to decorate the already well furnished and decorated buildings of BKWSU? Where is the necessity for transporting flowers from a city situated more than 2000 kms away? Would the same Father who says that one should be prepared to wear clothes with 108 patches, approve of such unnecessary expenditure? I know that like the PBKs, most of the BKs are from the middle and lower middle classes who save money to contribute to the Yagya (not to individuals) by starving themselves and their families. Sakar Murlis are replete with examples of how Brahma Baba would accept even a brick from poor BKs as contribution towards the Yagya.

I remember that in one of the Murlis/Avyakt Vanis Baba, while speaking on the subject of monetary contribution of the surrendered Brothers and Sisters, said that since they do not own anything they can contribute monetarily to the Yagya by saving every penny of the Yagya from being wasted.

Those who are acquainted with the game of cricket might know that some sports channels show statistics about how fielders save runs by their heroics.

Arjun Bhai, If there is all this coded speak going on in the Murli then how can we really understand what Baba says? Additionally, it seems as if many of the clarifications you offer require some insights into goings-on in the BKWSU the world over. Do we really stand a chance? It feels as if not only has the BKWSU been pulling the wool over our eyes but now it is pulling the rug from under our feet.

If the students of the BKWSU - its captive audience - start to mistrust the BKWSU in these matters then what next? Is it in the drama that the BKWSU will experience a massive clear-out because of this? Much appreciation for the service you are doing, Bhai.

Baba has given us all the third eye of intellect through which we can either understand or make efforts to understand. Since the Avyakt Vanis are being narrated by the soul of Dada Lekhraj (Brahma or Badee Maa or the senior/elder mother) who still has attachment for his alokik children and tries to 'forgive and forget' in the fond 'mother-like' hope that the children would get reformed sooner than later. But he has also been giving direct or indirect hints (read as 'warnings') to the Brahmin children to reform. When the situation goes out of control then probably he would assume the form of 'Dharmaraj' (the Lord of punishments) to reform the children who have gone astray. But I don't think that would happen through the medium of BK Gulzar Dadiji, but through another medium (Prajapita* or Jagdamba*). Until that happens I don't think we stand any chance. During the absence of Avyakt BapDada the Yagya is controlled by various human gurus who would not reveal or change the goings-on. And even during the short presence of Avyakt BapDada few times a year, I don't think he is given any information about the goings-on in the Yagya and neither has he assumed any strict posture ever since 1969.

If the students of the BKWSU - its captive audience - start to mistrust the BKWSU in these matters then what next? Is it in the drama that the BKWSU will experience a massive clear-out because of this? Much appreciation for the service you are doing, Bhai.

This will definitely happen one day in remembrance of the immersion of the idols of Hindu deities into rivers and oceans. The ones whom they worship today would be drowned when the Sun of Knowledge gets revealed completely.

Thanks for the appreciation, but I am conveying whatever has been received by me from ShivBaba (through Baba Virendra Dev Dixit).
