... Nothing is without name and form (naam-roop). Even though sky is so widespread(lamba-chauda), it has a name. What is the name? Aakaash (sky). A soul is such a small point, even then it given a name. A soul plays its part on the basis of the body itself . Whichever soul it may be, unless it takes the support of the body and plays a part, it does not have a name and what kind of a name do I have? Even though I enter a body, my name is just Shiv.
Why? Why isn’t my name based on my body? It is because all the other souls are coloured by the company of the five elements on entering a body. They are influenced by it and I not at all influenced by it. It is one ShivBaba alone, who does not take rebirth. All the other human souls take rebirth. Why? Why is it so? So that, if He too starts taking rebirth, then there will be no one to liberate us. All other bodily beings take rebirth. They take up bodies, the intellect remains focused on the body; so they are called dehdhaari (bodily beings), but my intellect is not focused on any body. My soul does not become attached to any body; that is why the name of my soul itself is ‘Shiv’. The one who has no attachment for any bodily being, is benevolent (kalyaankaari) and the one who develops attachment (for any bodily being) cannot benefit the entire world at all.
So, you should sit and narrate the biography of Shiv; then ( you should narrate) the life-story of Shri Krishna. On the other hand there are many legends (dant kathaaen) in the scriptures, which, the people have been listening to, narrating and reading. Nobody can achieve mukti, jeevanmukti (through the scriptures). None other than the Father can grant the accomodation (place) (thaur) of mukti (liberation) and jeevanmukti (liberation from vices and sorrows while being alive). Those gurus simply say, sadguru nindak thaur na paavey (the one who causes defamation of the Sadguru cannot find the accomodation (place). Arey, what accomodation do they have? They themselves leave their household and go to the jungles. So, how will they give an accommodation to the others? It is the Father who comes and gives us the accommodation. What? A soul finds the accommodation of happiness for two thousand five hundred years.
All this knowledge is in your intellect. We climb The Ladder; then how we walk down The Ladder. Some can understand even through their own effort , that how high a position will we achieve? Will we come in the beginning or later on? What? Who will come in the beginning? Those who study from the Father till the end will come in the beginning and if they get separated in between, make others their Father,will they come later on or will they come in the beginning? They will come later on. Otherwise, those who are illiterate will lift the burden in front of the educated ones. Many will be served. Those who are served first will come first. Those who use their every bone to serve the Yagya with love will also get very nice fruits. Those who create trouble (dhamchakkar) cannot achieve a high position at all. Does it happen so or not? In a school there are some students who create trouble and some study peacefully. Who achieves a higher position? Those who study nicely become big officers. Those who create trouble, in one way or the other become instrumental in giving sorrow to the world. Some become servants. Those who become servants trouble the master a lot. Some give such happiness that even one’s own child cannot give[that much happiness].
The children also know, that day by day one keeps receiving secret (guhya) points; that is why one should note down those points. Even in the Murli, there are points of essence (tant), aren’t there? When nice points emerge; then one would pay more attention to those points. Baba has to mix the old points (with the new ones) and then narrate it. Why? It is because new children come and sit; so Baba once again narrates the old points to them so that their intellect becomes set.
Learning is also an art (hunar), isn’t it? The Father desires that everybody’s lock of the intellect should open. All of you are numberwise teachers. Even this one explains, even then the Father’s direction (firmaan) is – remember me alone. One must keep rotating the discus of self realization (swadarshan chakra). Rotating this discus is actually becoming Manmanaabhav. What? When the discus is rotated in the intellect then it is as if we became constant in our mind & intellect-like soul. Will we become constant only when we realize the part of the mind & intellect-like soul or will we simply become constant? We will become constant when we realize (our part). When you rotate the discus of self realization (swadarshan chakra) your sins are destroyed, aren’t they? Even Shri Krishna rotated this swadarshan chakra in the past birth; only then he achieved this post. There is no question of killing (anyone) and so on with the discus. It is about killing body consciousness. What? When body consciousness ends, the soul becomes constant in its position.
So, such thoughts should go on in your intellect the whole day. You have a role of going (to the Supreme Abode), don’t you? You complete your journey (musaafiri); then you go home and take rest (vishraam) there . So, that is also a resthouse (vishraampuri). Its name is – the abode of peace (shaantidhaam), the supreme abode (paramdhaam), the Brahmalok. Home is called resthouse. A person works throughout the day in a factory, then goes home and takes rest. You have a good sleep when you go home, don’t you? There is no body at all in the Supreme Abode; so there is no question of sleep at all. A soul becomes detached from the body at night too. When someone has a sound sleep, the soul becomes detached from the body. So, the Supreme abode is also similar. Even in the Supreme Abode the soul becomes separated from the body or the five elements of the body. That is called sleep- the sushupta stage.
You children too have to become a resident of the abode of peace now. Through practice you will become bodiless (ashareeri). For example, in the path of worship, while doing Bhakti, one becomes completely immersed in it. They keep seeing only the form of God, that’s all . In this knowledge, one must forget the entire world. This is sanyas (renunciation) in an unlimited sense. Now we have to go home. When we go home, the expanse (pasaaraa) of this world that is visible to the eyes will not remain at all. It is as if you begin to hate this world. The prosperous people have a lot of love for this world and the worldly things. They have so much love for money. They keep remembering the same things. The one who has property will remember it, won’t he ? And what do you have? The result(outcome) of your property is peace and happiness. So, you like only peace.
You know that we are the children of the Father; Brothers and Sisters. So, look, your relationships are so few. When the relationships are few, then your world also becomes small. When a creation is created, children are born. Then we Brahmins become the mouth born progeny of Prajapita Brahma. We become Brothers and Sisters. By considering (ourselves as) Brothers and Sisters, there cannot be a criminal eye at all because we are the children of one Father. So many tactics (yukti) are explained to prevent the diversion of vision. Alright, one may have dirty vision even between Brothers and Sisters because the world has become sinful and degraded; so, what should you think? Consider yourself to be Brothers. No sin will be committed by considering (yourselves) to be Brothers. the relationship of Brother and Sister should also vanish from the intellect. Only the relationship of Brothers should remain.
So, the children are required to attain that stage, which is there in the Supreme abode . What will all the souls be in the Supreme Abode? They will be Brothers. Will you bring down that Supreme Abode to this world or not? (Someone said – we will) Will you bring it down? Where? Will you bring it down to this world or anywhere else? (Someone said – In this world itself) Will you bring it down to this world itself? Where in this world? (Someone said – This itself is the Supreme Abode today) Will you bring it down in this house itself? (Someone said – yes, we have brought it down, Baba) So, it has been called the house of Abu Abba (the Father) where tapasya (intense meditation) was done in the beginning too and it will become an abode of tapasya even in the end. The intellect of the entire world will be focused on the Father’s home. Then everyone will achieve an incorporeal stage very quickly. You children should achieve a stage where you remember only the relationship of Brothers and no other relationship should be remembered. Alright, remembrance, love and good morning of the spiritual BapDada to the sweet spiritual children. Spiritual Father’s namaste to the spiritual children. Omshanti.
