26/08/96Om Shanti Avyakt BapDada Madhuban 22/01/76 

Fast effort of the present final moments.

Today, BapDada has especially come to see the faces of the living chatraks who have come to celebrate a meeting,those who are the extremely loving, long衍ost and now苯ound children. To the extent that the children, who areconstantly thinking of a meeting and who are constantly absorbed in this love, remember the Father, accordingly,BapDada also remembers them in return. Such multimillion times fortunate souls are loved by the Father and also bythe world. Just as you children invoke the Father, in the same way, the souls of the world are invoking you mostelevated souls. Are you able to hear the sound of their invocation echoing in your ears? Especially at dusk, when thesun sets, together with the Father, the Sun of Knowledge, they also salute the limited lights, considering them to bethe lucky stars, the beings of light who dispell darkness. Whose memorial is this? Do you elevated souls experiencebeing invoked every day? This is because even the Father salutes such elevated souls who are the masters of theworld and the masters of Brahmand. This is why souls of the world took up the discipline offering salutations everyday. Do you experience yourself to be worthy of those salutations? You do not think that this praise or worship isonly for the special children, do you?

New children moving along with fast effort are especially merged in BapDada's eyes. Just as the children areconstantly merged in the Father's eyes, and they constantly experience His Company and closeness, in the same way,children who have come later are not distant; they too are close. This is why, according to the drama, children whocome at the end have a golden chance of moving fast through taking a high jump, that is, of coming first, and theyshould constantly keep this in their awareness. BapDada is happy to see the zeal, enthusiasm and courage of the newchildren and is also giving them special love and co觔peration.

Now, this year, have the determined thought to fulfil the many desires and wishes of the souls of the world. To fulfilthe desires of others means to make the self ignorant of any knowledge of desire. Just as to give is to receive, in thesame way, to fulfil the desires of others is to make the self complete. The fast effort of the present final moments is toperform a double task at the same time. What is that? To give to others is to remove the weaknesses from the self,that is, to create others is to become. On the path of bhakti, people donate whatever they are lacking. Then, bydonating that thing, they never again lack it. And so, giving becomes receiving. In the same way, in whicheversubject you feel yourself to be lacking, whatever speciality or virtue you feel lacking within yourself, donate thatparticular speciality or virtue. That is, use that in serving other souls, and then you will experience that withinyourself as the practical fruit of service. To serve means to receive the fruit. Now, there isn't that much time to makeeffort in which you can give time to your own self and then make time to serve others. Fast effort means to serve theself and others at the same time. In every second and in every thought, there should be benevolent feelings for theself and for the world. In the same second, you should be performing the double task; only then will you become onewith a double crown. If you only perform one task at a time, then, as a result of serving either the self or the worldindividually, you will receive the single crown of light in the new world. That is, although you will attain a life of apurity, a life filled with happiness and prosperity, you will not attain the throne and crown of a kingdom, that is, youwill receive the status of a subject. The basis of attaining a double crown is to perform double service at the sametime: to serve the self and others at the same time. This is the effort of coming last and going fast. Are you makingsuch fast effort? Now, have such particular checking at the present time. You will be able to change yourself and thetime through this method. Achcha.

To such children, in whom there is hope, who transform themselves and the world; to those who constantly maintaingood wishes for world benefit, the same as BapDada; to the fast effort衫akers who fulfil all desires of all souls; to theworld servers and world benefactors who use their time and thoughts for service; to such most elevated souls,BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

Personal meeting:

The main basis of transformation is to remain busy in service at every second. What special chit苞hat takes place in the heart負o虐eart exchange of the maharathis? Generally, the subject that comesup with the maharathis is, "When will transformation take place?" Whilst looking at the time and the self, do youhave the question of what is to happen? However, the main basis of transformation is to remain busy in service atevery second. Every maharathi should constantly have the thought: Whatever time I have, that has to be used forservice. Even when you are using time for an essential task for your body, whilst doing that, you can use your mindto bring about world benefit at the same time. If you are not able to do something with words or actions, you shouldhave the thought in your mind of having benevolent feelings; that is also then accumulated in the subject of service.

On the path of bhakti, whom does one call a great donor? Those who do not use anything for themselves, but whouse everything at every moment to serve others. Such souls are called great donors; otherwise, they are just donors.Those who constantly and continually donate are called great donors. In the same way, whilst giving time to yourselfpersonally, always consider yourself to be engaged in world service. Whenever you are sitting on a stage, you have topay special attention because at that time, you are on the stage for service; and so, you don't become slack, you payfull attention to service. In the same way, when you constantly consider yourself to be on the stage of service,transformation will take place through that. When you constantly remain engaged in service, as a result of service,and on the basis of the attainment of being praised and blessed from the hearts of all souls, you will experiencehappiness. And, by remaining busy in this, whatever weaknesses you experience within yourself will be finished. So,this is the method to transform yourself, to which you have to draw one another's attention and put into practice. Atpresent, according to the stage of being a world benefactor, to stabilise yourself in remembrance is also accumulatedin the subject of service. This is because the time of the maharathis spent now on the pilgrimage of remembrance isnot just for the self, but that time spent on the pilgrimage of remembrance is for the self as well as for the benefit andservice of others. You have already received a lot of time to experience benefit for yourself, but now, it is time forthe stage of being a great donor and a bestower of blessings.

So, what is the definition of a maharathi? A maharathi is one who has a double crown, that is, one who is a doubleserver. There should be the balance of serving others as well as serving the self; such a soul is called a maharathi.The time of the children's childhood is for the self, and the time of responsible souls is for service. The time of theinfantry and the cavalry will be used for the self a lot more. Sometimes, their stage will get spoilt. Sometimes, theywill have dharna, whereas at other times they will fail in their dharna. Sometimes, they will be making intense effortand sometimes they will make ordinary effort. One moment they would be battling with one sanskar, and the nextmoment they would be battling with another; they will waste a lot of time on themselves. However, the maharathiswill not be like this. Little children will play with toys, they will put everything right very quickly or they will spoilsomething very quickly.

Here too, they play with the toy of their sanskars, sometimes, putting everything right and sometimes spoiling;sometimes they put everything right and sometimes they are influenced and sometimes they influence it. However,this is a sign of childhood, not of a maharathi. Achcha.

Blessing: May you be a merciful world benefactor who attains the kingdom of the world by doing altruistic service. Those who are altruistic servers can never have any such thought as: I have done this much and so I should receive name, fame, praise etc. This is also taking. If the children of the Bestower have the thought of taking, they are not best owers. It does not seem right for best owers to be taking. When this thought is finished, you will attain the status of a world emperor. Only such an altruistic server who has unlimited disinterest can become a merciful world benefactor.

Slogan: Make the Almighty Authority your Father and you will become free from repentence.
