Avyakt BapDada. 10.1.1988. - Churning
Today the Ocean of Jewels Father has come to meet his invaluable jewels. He is observing how far each elevated soul has accumulated the jewels of knowledge and has inculcated them in their life. Each jewel of knowledge is worth more than multi millions, it is invaluable. So just think over how many jewels of knowledge you have received from the beginning to now. The Ocean of Jewels Father has filled unlimited jewels in the apron of the intellect of each child. BapDada has given an equal amount of jewels of knowledge to each of his children at the same time, but those jewels keep increasing the more they are used for the self and others. BapDada is observing that although he has given these jewels equally to everyone, some have increased these jewels and some have not increased them. Some are fully accomplished in them, that is, they are completely full with them. Some use them only at the time of need, and others use them always and increase them multimillion-fold. There are some who are not able to use these jewels as much as they should, and so they do not understand the value of the jewels as much as they should understand it. Of course they have imbibed in their intellect whatever they have received, but the happiness, joy, power, peace, and the experience of the attainment of an obstacle free stage which they could experience by using these jewels, they are not able to experience.
What is the reason? The reason is lack of churning power, because to churn means to absorb it in life, to inculcate it. If there is no churning it means The Knowledge is in the intellect only and hasn't been absorbed or inculcated in. the life. Those who churn use that knowledge in every task they do in life whether they use it for themselves or others, but they use it. The others just remember in their intellect what they have heard, without churning it and making it part of their life. For example, if someone has wealth and stores it away in a locker or safe and does not use it at the time of need, then the happiness that one can get from that treasure is not received. There is only the consolation in the mind that, "Yes, 1 have this much wealth". That wealth will not increase, nor will there be the experience of real happiness in it. Similarly, if these Jewels of Knowledge are just stowed in the intellect or just repeated in words from the lips (e.g.: "This point is very good", etc.), then of course for a short time they will have good intoxication due to the consciousness that it was a good point of knowledge, but unless these jewels of knowledge are brought in the life and used in action they will not give the experience of real joy. Knowledge is compared to jewels, it is also compared to light, and also it is a power. This is why if knowledge is not used properly in action, it will not increase and the experience will not come. Knowledge is a study; it is an elevated weapon for fighting a battle also. This is the value of knowledge, and to understand the value of knowledge means to use knowledge in action. The more The Knowledge is used in action, the more there is the experience of power within the self. For example, if you don't use a weapon when it should be used, that weapon becomes useless which means its value does not remain the same. So knowledge is also a weapon. If the Weapon for attacking Maya and conquering it is not used, then the value of the weapons of knowledge is reduced because the proper benefit of knowledge is not taken. To take proper benefit means to maintain its value.
The Jewels of Knowledge are with everyone because all of you have a right over them, but you are numberwise in being full of them. The main reason for that is lack of the power of churning. The power of churning is the basis for making the Father's treasures your treasures. Just as you have been told before that food is one thing, but to digest that food and change it into blood is another thing. When the food takes the form of blood it becomes your own. Similarly, when you churn knowledge the Father's treasures become your treasures and you claim a right over them. You experience them to be your own treasure. BapDada has been telling many times that if you churn something you make it your own, and you get the intoxication from that churning. So if you want to make the Father's treasures your treasures, you will have to use the power of churning and then bring the Jewels of Knowledge into action. Then you will get the experience' and this will intoxicate you.
Why is intoxication not constant? You do get intoxicated while hearing The Knowledge but why is this intoxication not constant? The reason is you do not make knowledge yours with the help of the power of churning. Churning power means to go into the depth of the Ocean of Knowledge, which means to be introverted and go into the depth of each jewel. It doesn't mean that you just repeat The Knowledge, but to understand the significance of each point of knowledge and then find out what intoxication each point has. It means you also come to know how and when that point can be used in action for the self, and how and when it can be used in action for other souls. All these four things should be churned on after hearing the points of knowledge. Along with that, while going into the depth of the significance of the point of knowledge, and start enjoying and getting intoxicated from it. Then, when you have to face different obstacles of Maya or different circumstances of nature, at that time use the points of knowledge and find out whether you used properly what you have churned on. Make sure that the churning was right on the basis of that situation while fighting Maya or facing the circumstances of nature, and see whether you have conquered Maya with the help of that point of knowledge or not. Find out whether you conquered Maya in a practical way or not. While churning it is only theory, but when the test comes you find out whether you churned accurately or not. Or is it that you thought you had become the conqueror of Maya but when the time came to conquer it with ease you had to labour, or you wasted a lot of time? If you did, it proves that the method you used for churning was not the right one. This is why you did not get success.
You should also know how to use something and have the practice of using it. Just as different scientists carry powerful bombs onto the battlefield and think that they will definitely win because they have such bombs, if they don't know the method of using the bombs properly, then even if the bomb is powerful it will not hit the right target. It will hit the wrong place and go to waste. So what was the reason? The reason was that the method of using the weapon was not right. Similarly, each Jewel of Knowledge is very, very valuable. Any adverse circumstances or obstacle cannot stand in front of the jewel or power of knowledge. But if there is not success or victory, the reason is that the method used is not accurate.
Another thing; if the practice of churning is not done constantly, you cannot use that point of knowledge when needed. Sometimes you try to use points of knowledge when needed, and sometimes you try to use points all of a sudden without having churned on them before. This is why you get deceived. Carelessness comes in the form of thoughts like, "I have knowledge in my intellect and 1 will be able to use it at the time of need". But constant practice of churning for a long period is necessary. If one starts trying to remember which point to use at the time of need, which title will he be given? Remember there is a story about this in the scriptures. Who remained careless and thought of using weapons only at the end? Who was that? Kumbakarna. Double foreigners may not know this story. What carelessness did Kumbakarna show? He said, "Let them come, we will conquer them when they come". So to say everything will be O.K. and not to prepare beforehand ~s carelessness. This carelessness is deceptive. This is why, day by day, keep on increasing the power of churning more and more. Whatever you hear in the revised course Sakar Murlis, or in the Avyakt Murlis, you should churn on that. Every day you hear different points, so churn every day on different points and increase your power of churning.
For practising churning take up one point every day, imbibe it, and then churn that on the basis of the four things mentioned earlier. Practise with this method. In every action, whether you are performing a physical, ordinary action or performing the actions of Godly service, the whole day your churning should continue. Even if doing lokik business or working in an office, or serving in a centre, the moment you find your intellect is free increase the practice of churning. There are many tasks in which you don't have to use your intellect much. You can think of something else while you perform that task. Actually, there is very little activity in which you have to pay full attention. You can think of other things at the same time. If you note in your routine when you get such occasions, you will find there are many in a day when you don't need to use your intellect in the task you are doing. There is no need to find time to do the extra work of churning, this is not necessary. You can churn while performing actions, while walking etc. If you get some time to be in solitude, it is very good. At that time you can go into the depth and clarify further some point. Go into the details of the point and you will really enjoy it. But first become the embodiment of the point, get the experience of its intoxication and then go into the expansion. Then you will not become bored. Otherwise, if you just keep on repeating points you will lose interest. You repeat one point, and then you don't know how to spin The Cycle. Some don't know how to experience the stage, so they just repeat "Golden Age, Silver Age" etc. Repetition of The Cycle takes five minutes and then the point is over and they don't know what to do next "that many births, this much duration, so much life span" etc. Finished, the point is over. But to become swardarshanchakradhari means to experience a knowledgeful, powerful stage. It means to go into the depth of the points and get intoxicated from them and to understand the significance of the secret. In this way you should practice for every point. Baba mentioned only about spinning The Cycle, but in this way you should churn every point.
You do not need to churn for only one hour a day, but keep churning at different times throughout the whole day. Whenever you get some time, make your intellect practice churning. Churning will keep your intellect busy and free and it will become easy for you to conquer Maya automatically. Maya will go away on seeing you busy. No need to allow Maya to come and then fight with Maya, and get defeated or be victorious. This is a very slow speed of effort, ant like effort. Now is the time to make fast effort; it is time to fly. Therefore, keep your intellect busy in churning. So did you hear how to churn and practise it? If you know how to churn, the power of churning will make it easy for you to experience a merged stage of remembrance.
Churning will also help you to conquer Maya and be free from waste thoughts. If there is no waste then there are no obstacles. Then a powerful stage, a stage merged in Baba's love becomes easy and natural. Many think that they are not able to experience the seed stage or that they will be able to experience that stage only after a tot of attention. The reason is because of some leakages the power of the intellect leaks out due to waste thoughts. Sometimes there are mundane thoughts which means the intellect is kept occupied in what one is doing. This is called mundane, ordinary thinking. While performing mundane actions the thoughts should not be mundane, but if there is not churning in the intellect, the intellect thinks of just those mundane things, and then you feel happy in a way and tell yourself, 'Well, 1 did not commit any sins or have waste thoughts, I did not give sorrow to anyone". But for how much time did you have a powerful stage, powerful remembrance? Did you check that? If there wasn't a powerful stage then it will be said that you had just ordinary thoughts. You did perform karma but did not become a karma yogi, a yogi in action, and this is why you must experience either the experience of churning or of being merged in Baba's love, even while performing mundane actions. Both of these stages are the basis of doing powerful service also.
Those who churn, because they have the practice of churning, are also able to attain whatever stage they want to attain. If the link is proper there will be no leakage, and because there won't be leakage you will be able to get the experience you want; the angelic stage, the seed stage, etc. You will be able to experience these stages easily. Why will it be easy? If knowledge is remembered well or churned well, then the Bestower of Knowledge is also remembered automatically. So did you understand how to churn? Baba had said in the past He would say more about churning. If you want to conquer the obstacles of Maya forever and become victorious forever, the basis of that is the power of churning. Is it easy or difficult?
To all the knowledgeable children of the Ocean of Knowledge, to all the elevated souls who conquer Maya easily with the power of churning, to all those who increase the practice of churning and with churning power experience themselves to be merged in the Father's love, to those who understand the value of the Jewels of Knowledge, to those who use the power of knowledge in action, to such special and invaluable jewels who always maintain such a high stage, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
