All of us have the determined thought that there should be nothing old remaining in us in the New Year. Even that which was in me yesterday should now have gone. When we become Baba’s, the happiness of a childhood with Baba makes us free from bondage. To be free from bondages is a blessing. How can a child of Baba be locked in bondages?
To make true and real effort in the way that Baba tells us is all I have to be concerned about. Don’t think about what anyone else is doing. Do you understand this aspect? If you remember what someone was like or did yesterday, or even 6 months ago you will not be able to make effort. Baba is telling us to go to Him in a second. There is no question of labouring in this ... it is something that happens in a second. Practice this and all the old will go away and you will feel that you are becoming clean and pure. Knowledge can only sit in the intellect of one who is clean and pure. Such a soul will keep no issues about anyone or anything inside. Such a stage can only be reached when you realise that my Father is the purifier and He has come to make me pure. One who is pure is very useful to Baba. Their very vibration will do a lot of work. I have to not only become the embodiment of purity but the embodiment of peace also. To get work done well we have to know how to remain peaceful. If you have become Baba’s child and don’t know how to be peaceful, how does that seem? Peace was and now has to be again, the garland around my neck. Don’t allow yourself to become peaceless in any situation.
Yesterday Dadi Gulzar told us that if you can’t remember the blessing in the Murli then remember the slogan. In fact, Baba has told us to remember the Murli. If you don’t churn the Murli what will you think about? If you churn knowledge, your effort can never become cool, neither will your feelings go down. One who churns will not be sometimes good and sometimes weak in making effort. We have to churn what Baba says very well and take power from that. There are two benefits of churning; firstly, this is the method to extract butter. Butter gives strength while the buttermilk that is left makes the soul cool. Baba used to give us homemade butter every day. When good things go into your body, you get power. If you don’t churn you will receive neither butter nor buttermilk. You have to accumulate the power of thought and this can only happen through churning. Without churning you cannot accumulate power. Think about The Ladder and The Cycle and you will realize how easy it is to move up. The picture of The Ladder takes us beyond this world. You just have to look at this picture and you can go up above all the problems in a second.
Everyone is my teacher; keep this awareness. We have to care, share and inspire. We have to care for others by showing that we are concerned. We have to care by sharing good things. One who shares accumulates. To share is to open your hands and be generous in giving. The sharing of knowledge protects others and enriches them. Do this and you won’t have to tell anyone to make effort but they will automatically get inspired.
We have to first become satoguni and from there move to the state of being satopradhan Baba says remember Me and your old nature will be finished and you will become extremely pure. One who is a true child of Baba will never perform any sin; they will not even get the thought to do such. They will not take advantage of anyone in any way, nor will they slander anyone. Baba will have faith in such a soul. Such a soul will not ever have done anything at all against Gyan. This one is like this, that one is like that; if these thoughts are in your head you will not be able to produce pure thoughts nor perform pure actions.
My life should be such that I have everything Baba talks about. There should be nothing missing. Baba’s knowledge is a treasure that gets things done. By using the treasures He gives me, they can only increase. The treasures of God are imperishable and Dadi has the intoxication and the experience that they increase by giving them. However, looking at the faces of some it seems that they have nothing at all. You should never become empty as if Baba is not with you. The face of one who has attachment with someone, or is taking support and as a result needs this or that will show his emptiness. In fact, each one of us is a child of God – none of us can have the experience that I am alone, without support, without a companion. There should never be the thought that there is no-one to look after me – that maybe I need someone. If you have this thought, you are a weak soul. At every moment there should be the thought that Baba is with me. We have to practice; I am a soul, I am a soul. Practice this and you will have no attraction to possessions, people or the world. Become a real true server and you will get everything – more than everything. So firstly have the thought; I am a child of God and secondly – I am a server. There should be no desire for recognition – no, I am a server. Your deity status will be based on the amount of service you do now. Baba is giving in an unlimited way but how much am I taking? We have to perform good actions but without the desire for fruit. If I do actions with a desire for a return, you will not get the return. Take everything that Baba is giving and stop complaining. Baba is telling us to forget whatever happened in the past. Only Baba can say, ‘forget the mistakes of the past’. He is giving us the guarantee that if we remember Him, He will finish our sins of the past. Baba tells us that we have to not repeat our mistakes and then forget them.
All you have to do is to understand Baba, understand yourself and understand the fortune you can create. And for this, become detach from the body - detach from everyone and everything. The speciality of a lotus is that there is no arrogance of its beauty or its creation – it just is and it just does. Become a rose now by keeping your thorns submerged and just seeing Baba. Now stop giving and taking sorrow. Become beautiful and fragrant and donate your fragrance as a rose does. I have to become such a rose that Baba is happy seeing me in His garden. Baba is telling us to sit on our seats and look carefully within. Become what you have to become right now.
