Do you consider yourselves to have attained success by using the right method? Because whatever effort one makes, the aim of the effort is to attain success. The people of the world nowadays have a lot of occult powers. They have occult powers, whereas here, we have success through using the right method. Success through the right method is accurate, but they have put this into another form, and gone into occult powers. So, do you consider yourself to be the embodiment of success? If every thought or action is accurate according to the method, then what will be the result of that? Success. So, when every thought and every action are accurate according to the method, then there will definitely be success. If there isn't success, then you are not using the right method. This is why, even in bhakti, whatever activity you perform or make others perform, its value is based on the method. Because it is according to the right method, you experience success. Everything began from here, did it not? This is why you are asked whether you consider yourself to be the embodiment of success or whether you still have to become that. According to the time, the result in both fields up until now should definitely be 95%. You see the speed of time and you even issue a challenge, and so the challenge you issue will be fulfilled when the stages of all of you become complete. On what basis will the transformation of this challenge take place? Who are the foundation of that? You are the foundation, are you not? When the foundation is ready, then after that, the kingdom will also be ready numberwise. So, if those who want the right to claim the kingdom don't take their right, then how would others claim their right numberwise? Unless your stage has attained success through using the right method, how will you be successful in the task of world benefit, the task of world transformation that has to happen? First, there has to be success for the self. Such a big task has to be done in such a short time, so how fast must the speed be? Do you make any plans for this? How will you achieve that speed? To be the embodiment of success means you attain success in whatever thoughts you have. This is the sign of being one hundred per cent the embodiment of success. As soon as you perform the action, you attain success. Since it is possible to attain occult powers on the basis of ordinary knowledge, then through using the right method on the basis of this elevated knowledge, are you not able to attain success? You need this checking. In what method is there something lacking through which success is not even total? By checking the method, success will automatically take place accurately. Even in this, the main reason why there isn't success is that you do not do service in all three forms at the one time. You have to do service in all three ways and in all three forms at the same time: full of knowledge, full of power and full of love. Both love and law are together. Service has to be done in all three forms, but it has to be done in all three ways also, that is, you have to do service through your thoughts, words and actions. You have to do three forms of service at the same time. When you do service through speech, then the mind should also be powerful. With a powerful stage you will change the thoughts of others, and through words you will make them knowledge­full.

Then, when you do service through actions, that is, whoever comes into your contact, through that contact, he will become so full that he will automatically feel that he has reached his Godly family. Your activity should be such that they feel this is their true family. If, through these three forms of service, you control their mind; through words, you give knowledge and the blessing of light and might, and through actions, that is, through connection and through your physical activity, you give them the experience of this Godly family, then by doing service with this accurate method, would there not be success? You don't do all three forms of service at the same time. When you come into sound, then the mind which should be powerful is less so. When you bring someone into connection through your entertaining activity, then the mind that should also be powerful doesn't remain that powerful. So, if all three take place at the same time, there will definitely be success. There should be the practice and attention of doing service in this way. However, you do not form a relationship.

You do not come into close contact, but you just maintain a superficial connection. That superficial connection is only for a temporary period. Although you give them love, together with being full of love, you must also be powerful. Fill those souls with power through which they will be able to confront any problems, any atmosphere and vibrations and stay in a permanent relationship. However, that does not happen. Either one gets attracted by the knowledge or by the love. They get more attracted by love, and the knowledge is in the second number. But they should become so powerful that no matter what comes in front of them, they do not fluctuate. This is lacking now. Those who are the serviceable instruments also have greater knowledge. They also have love, but little power.

What would be the sign of a powerful stage? You will be able to finish any atmosphere or any problems of Maya within one second. You will never be defeated. Whichever souls come to you in the form of a problem, they will surrender themselves to you. In other words, you refer to this as nature, the elements, being your servant. When the five elements can become your servant, then can human souls not surrender themselves to you? So this is the practical form of the powerful stage. This is why it was said that when you do service in all three ways at the same time, then success will be visible in every task.

Because of the right method, there is success, and due to the lack of the right method, there is a lack of success. Now, in order to become the embodiment of success, put this method right. On the path of bhakti, they make spiritual endeavour, but here, you have the facilities. Which facilities? Whilst imbibing every speciality of BapDada within yourself, you will become special souls. When the examination days come close, then you revise whatever you have studied, both the theory and the practical, and check in which subject you are lacking and in what way. In the same way, now that the time is coming close, check yourself in every subject as to what is lacking to what percentage. Check both the theory and the practical. Whilst seeing what is lacking in each subject, continue to make yourself complete. However, you will only become complete when you first revise and recognise your weaknesses. You know your subjects. What is the sign of having imbibed the subjects in your intellect? As the percentage of success increases, time will not be wasted. In a little time, you will experience greater success. This is known as success. If you spend a lot of time and have to labour a lot before attaining success, then this is said to be a lesser percentage. You should have to use little in every way: your body should be used to a lesser extent; you should have to use fewer thoughts of the mind.

Otherwise, you may think about something, but it takes a month and a half to create plans. So, you must not use too much of your time, your thoughts or the treasures of all your powers. Let there be greater splendour through less expenditure. Only those thoughts should be created through which there would definitely be success. The time fixed would also be that in which success is already guaranteed. This is known as being the embodiment of success. So, what is the sign of knowing to what extent you have passed in every subject? To the extent that someone has passed in each subject, accordingly, on the basis of that subject, he will receive the objective and respect. Firstly, you will experience the attainment. For example, in the subject of knowledge, the objective you achieve is that of light and might; you will experience that attainment. And, on the basis of the subject of knowledge, you will receive respect accordingly, either from the divine family or from all other souls. For instance, look at the mahatmas nowadays; why do they receive so much respect? Because whatever spiritual endeavour they have made, whatever subjects they have studied, they receive the objective of that, which is respect. Nature becomes their servant. So, this was an aspect of knowledge. In the same way, there is also the subject of yoga. What objective should you achieve from that? Through yoga, that is, through the power of remembrance, you should achieve this objective: whatever thoughts you create will be powerful.

And, if you are to face any problems, then with the power of yoga, you should experience in advance what is to happen and, because of knowing in advance, you will never experience defeat. Similarly, with the power of yoga, you finish the seed of your past sanskars. Then none of your sanskars will be an obstacle to your efforts. Even that which you call nature will not take on the form of an obstacle to your efforts. So, you should experience the objective of each subject. If you have the objective, then as a result, you will definitely receive respect. Because whatever words you repeat through your mouth or whatever plans you create are powerful, everyone will give you respect, that is, whatever advice you give to one another will be respected by everyone because it is powerful. Check every subject in the same way.

There are the subjects of the divine virtues and service, and the attainment of that is that souls should come into a close relationship and connection. When they come into a close relationship and connection, you will definitely and automatically receive respect. In the same way, check the objective of every subject; the means of checking the objective is respect. If I am knowledge­full, then to whomsoever I give that knowledge, do they have just as much respect for that knowledge? To have respect for knowledge means to give respect to the one who is knowledge­full. If you have attained the objective in the subject of knowledge, you can transform the thoughts of others and make them powerful. So, they will definitely give respect. So check every subject in this way.

If you experience both the ojective and respect in every thought, you would then be said to be perfect. Perfect means beyond effect; perfect. If you are beyond effect, then you are perfect. Then you will be beyond all types of effect, whether of the body, your thoughts, of any connection you make or of any vibrations or atmosphere. So understand that to pass in a subject means to become perfect. You are becoming like this, are you not? This is your aim, is it not? Now, there should be greater checking of the self. You tell others that together with the transformation of the time, they should transform themselves. In the same way, you should also have the awareness that together with the transformation of the time, you also have to transform yourself. Whilst bringing about transformation in the self, the world will be transformed. On the basis of self­transformation, you will be able to carry out the task of world transformation. This is the greatness which others do not have. They are in the process of trying to transform others. Here, on the basis of the self, you transform the world. So, because you are the basis, you have to pay that much attention to yourself. Always have the awareness that every thought of yours is connected with world benefit. If there isn't power in the thoughts of those who are the embodiment of success, then there will be a weakness in the transformation of time. Because of this, the more powerful you become, the closer you will be able to bring the time of world transformation. Although this is fixed according to the drama, on what basis has it become fixed? There must be some support, must there not? So, you are the images of support. At present, you are in the vision of everyone. Achcha.
