The inauguration of the Spiritual Museum in Abu.

Namaste from Baba to the children who have love for all. Whom do you have love for? (Some said for the Father and some said for service.) What else do you have love for? One aspect still remains. Of course you have love for BapDada, but you should also have greater love for effort. You have love for the divine family, for service and for BapDada anyway, but according to the present time, there should be greater love for effort. Those who have love for effort will be loved by all. Each one of you should check how much love you have for effort. You have love for BapDada because He inspires you to make effort. You will have love for the reward only when you first have love for effort. You cannot give or take love from the divine family until there is love for effort. If you have love for effort, you can then become worthy to claim love from each other. You have gathered here because of love. However, it is love for BapDada. Now have love for effort because it is this effort which creates the reward of the whole cycle for you children. BapDada has even greater love than you children have. To the extent that someone is loving, accordingly he continues to receive the response of that love. Take love with the avyakt form. To what extent have you learnt the lesson of avyakt love? This is the lesson of the present time. Take love through your avyakt form and give the proof of service with love. To what extent have you made the lesson of avyakt love firm? What do you think the result is? Have you reached half way? Baba is asking the result of the majority. (Some said 25%, some said 75%.) There is such a vast difference between 25% and 75%. The majority think that it is 25%. Why is there such a result? What is the reason for this? If there is 25% avyakt love, what kind of love is the remaining 75%? If the majority of you have a result of only 25%, how will you claim pass marks in the future? Now, avyakt love is the main thing. Avyakt love gives power to the pilgrimage of remembrance. Avyakt love helps in creating an avyakt stage. Why is there a result of only 25%? Have you thought of the reason? According to the time, you shouldn't have this result. According to the time now, it should be 75%. So what will you do to achieve such a result? What is the method for that? (Introversion.) You always say that you have to become introverted. But what is the reason for not being introverted?

You have love for BapDada and service anyway. But there is less love for effort. The reason for the lack of love for effort is that the majority of you become disturbed on seeing the circumstances. You create your stage (sthithi) with the support of the circumstances (paristhithi). You do not change the* circumstances through your own stage. You think that you will he able to create your stage when you change the circumstances. Develop the power of the original stage of the self through which the circumstances can be changed. Those are external situations, whereas this is the original stage of the self (swa-stithi). You become weak by being influenced by external circumstances. And by stabilising yourself in the original stage of the self, you receive power. And so, do not stop because you have been influenced by the external circumstances. The original stage of the self has so much power that it can overcome any kind of external situation. Because of your weakness in stabilising the self in the original stage, sometimes the external circumstances become powerful. The majority of the children always keep saying: Baba, put this right, then we will be able to become like this; there is a hindrance because of this aspect. There are very few who reveal their own courage, in that they will definitely overcome those circumstances. They request something, and that is good. However, together with that request, they do not put into practice the advice they receive. Many files of everyone's requests have accumulated. Just as Dharamraj has the accounts, in the same way, BapDada has many requests from you children. There is a file for each one of you. The main thing you have been told is to have love for making effort. What do you call yourself? (Effort-makers.) Since you are effort-makers, do you not know what effort is? Do you know your file? What is your effort? Do you know that? You saw the final stage of the corporeal form: how Baba demonstrated to you action in the corporeal form. And so, from that you came to know the final stage. According to the final stage, to remove instantly whatever weakness is visible means to have love for effort. Do not do that slowly. Did you see the main virtue of sakar Baba? He never left anything for later. It had to be done there and then. Just as he used to do it at that very moment, in the same way, you have to do it right now. You shouldn't say that you will do it some time later, or that you will do it after ten or fifteen days. "We will practise that afterwards when we return home from Madhuban." There are many who wait in this way. They forget to make the preparations. They do not make the preparations. Instead they wait for things. If you stop waiting and start making preparations, then your result will be 75%. The result of the effort of the present time should not be less than 75% for the majority of you. Baba is also telling you the result. Some are waiting for the time, and some are waiting because of obstacles, some because of their relationships and some because of their own body. But no matter what something is like, whatever is in front of you, whatever the situation, you have to become perfect in that same body. Keep this aim.

Now, because you take the support of something or another, you become dependent. You are dependent on things. Each one of you relates your own story at amrit vela. Some say: If I did not have this physical illness, I would make a lot of effort. Some say: Remove this bondage. But if one bondage is removed, another one will emerge. If the bondage of the body is removed, a bondage of the mind, a bondage of wealth, or bondage of relations will emerge. What will you do then? They will not remove themselves. You have to remove them with your own power. Some think that BapDada will remove them, or that they will be removed according to the time. But do not think in this way. The time has now come very close. Those who become slack in their efforts will let this time for effort slip through their hands. Do you know how many breaths you take? They are countless. And so each breath and each second should be used in a worthwhile way. Now the time is such that if there is any kind of carelessness remaining, then just as many children lost the great fortune of experiencing a sweet meeting with sakar Baba, in the same way, this fortunate time of making effort will be lost through your own hands. This is why you are being told about it beforehand. I lave love for effort and increase your effort. Baba continues to watch the game from up above. You can also come up and watch it and you will enjoy yourself a great deal. Baba sees very entertaining games of the children. You can also see them. If you watch whilst being stable in your elevated stage, you will be able to see the games of others as well as your own. BapDada continues to watch them. They are games of great amusement. The great maharathis are not afraid of lions, yet they are afraid of ants. They are able to confront a lion easily, but they do not know the method of treading over an ant. This is the game of the maharathis. Do you know what the cavalry do? (They gallop.) Baba also watches the games of the cavalry. Baba has already told you about the maharathis. The cavalry have a lot of courage and enthusiasm. They even move forward in their effort, but whilst galloping... (They slip off.) They do not slip off, they do not fall or get tired, they are tireless and they even continue to move along very well, but they become attracted by the side-scenes that come along the path. Even though they continue to make effort, they have greater sanskars of just observing, "What is this one doing? How is he doing this? Even I can do that." They compete. The cavalry have a great attraction for observing others. There is an amusing aspect about the infantry also. Baba is telling you about the game. What do they do? It may be a very minor thing, but they turn it into a great mountain. They do not make a mountain into a mustard seed, but instead they make a mustard seed into a mountain and get themselves disturbed. It is nothing and they make everything out of it. And then looking at its height, they lose their courage. Even then, according to the present time, out of all the three, half of each quality are transforming themselves. This is why BapDada is smiling on seeing their courage and enthusiasm, and seeing them step forward. If each of you is asked, who is a maharathi, who is of the the cavalry and who is of the infantry, will you be able to answer? Achcha.
