A knowledge­full and powerful soul is successful


Do you always experience yourself to be master knowledge­full, powerful and successful in every situation. Because,t he result of being a knowledge­ full and powerful soul is to be successful. At the present moment, there are two subjects: yoga and gyan. Yoga means being powerful, and gyan means knowledge. The object of these two subject sis to become successful. This is called the visible reward. The visible reward of this time will glorify your futurere ward. It should not be that you become deprived from experiencing the visible reward of the present on the basis of waiting for the future reward. You should never think that nothing is visible at the present moment, or that there is no experience of it nor any attainment. "This study is for the future. My future is very bright. Now I am incognito. Atthe end I will be revealed." But the future sparkle and future reward of a soul who is going to be renowned at the end should be experienced by all souls now. If there is no visible fruit, then there can be no future fruit. You should not have to reveal yourself but the connection, love and co­operation of such a soul will automatically reveal itself.


It is a Godly law that those who try to prove themselves in any way will never become renowned. Therefore, suchthoughts as, "I know that I am right; others don't know or recognize it; ultimately they will recognize me. Let's seewhat happens later on", are thoughts of sleep. For a soul who is an embodiment of gyan and an embodiment ofremembrance, this is a sweet sleep of carelessness and self­deception. Maya has many types of sleep which give restfor a temporary period, or which give you comfort for a short time. If there is any aspect in which you lose yourreward or attainment of visible fruit, then definitely you are sleeping in one or another type of sleep. This is whythere is the saying, "One who sleeps is a loser". To sleep means to lose. At that time such souls can never experiencesuccess, that is, they can never become successful.


In the entire kalpa, according to the plan of the drama, it is only the confluence age that has this blessing. Whichblessing? What blessing does the confluence age have? The blessing of visible fruit only belongs to the confluenceage. To give now and to receive now. First, you look and then you act; you are strong business people. Thespeciality of the confluence age is that it is only in this age that the Father is revealed; the highest­on­high Brahminsare also revealed; the story of the eighty­four births of you all is revealed; the elevated knowledge is also revealed.This is the reason why you receive visible fruit. Are you experiencing the visible fruit? If, at the time of attaining thevisible reward, a soul keeps thinking of the future reward, what would that soul be called? Would that soul be calleda master knowledge­full soul or is this a type of ignorance? Any type of ignorance of gyan is called the sleep ofignorance. Check yourself and see whether you are sleeping in any type of ignorance.


Have you become an ever­lit light? The sign of being awake is to awaken and attain. And so, are you the ever­litlights who always have attainments? What is the main dharna in order to become an ever­lit light? Do you know?Tell Me which dharna sakar Baba had? Which special dharna did sakar Baba have? In order to become a constantlyignited light, the main dharna needed is that of being tireless. When there is tiredness, there is sleep. The specialityof tirelessness was always experienced in sakar Baba. The ones who follow the father in this way become the ever­litlights. You should also check if whilst moving and walking, any type of tiredness makes you sleep in the sleep of ignorance. This is why the memorial of the special virtue of becoming the conquerers of sleep a kalpa ago has also been remembered. You have to become the conquerers of every type of sleep. You also have to make a list of whichtypes of sleep do not allow you to become a conqueror of sleep.


Before falling asleep, there are visible signs of sleep. The sign of that sleep is yawning, and a sign of the sleep ofignorance is sorrow. Look out for such types of signs. There are two main aspects of this; one is laziness and thesecond is carelessness. Firstly, it is these signs that come and then later the intoxication of sleep. Therefore,thoroughly check this. Along with checking you also have to change. Don't just go on checking; you have to doboth, checking and changing. Achcha. To those who transform the world through self­transformation; to those who are as tireless as the Father; to those whoexperience the revealed fruit in every thought, word and action; to those who are the embodiments of all attainments;to the special souls, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.
