The greatness of subtlety.

Indra's gathering in the court of Indra has been praised. Indra means the One who constantly showers the shower ofknoweldge, the One who changes the jungle of thorns into a garden. Such a gathering of Indra is praised as thegathering of angels, that is, the ones who are always flying. The wings of the angels are well known. Only angelsand not human beings can reside in the court of Indra. Human beings are those who do not consider themselves to besouls but consider themselves to be human, that is, to be bodies. Such body­conscious ones cannot reside in the courtof Indra. The residents of the court of Indra can immediately detect the bad odour of body consciousness. Do youconsider yourselves to be the residents of the court of Indra, the angels of Indraprasth, who are far removed from thebad odour of the body. Are your wings of gyan and yoga strong? Even if you wish to fly, if your wings are notstrong you keep coming down. Do you always remain beyond body consciousness, that is, beyond the world of theold body and old relationships? Do you remain beyond these in an elevated stage? There isn't the slightest bit ofbody consiousness, that is, the bad odour of being a human, is there? Body­conscious ones cannot reside in the courtof Indra. Do you experience body consciousness to be a very bad odour? Just as you move away from a bad odour,or you adopt a method to remove it, in the same way, do you adopt methods to remove body consciousness? This isnot an ordinary gathering, this is an alokik gathering, this is a gathering of angels. Do you experience yourself to bean angel? Are you able to stabilize yourself in a stage beyond this world of bodies, in your original stage, in onesecond? Do you know how to perform this drill? Whenever and where ever you choose, are you able to stabilizeyourself in that stage for as long as you choose!

Today, at amrit vela, BapDada was looking at the children's drill. What did He see? Those who arrived to practisedrill were arriving numberwise on the whistle of time. There were many who arrived. But, Baba saw three types ofchildren. One were those who were just spending time; second were those who were following the discipline andthird were those who were fulfilling their love. Each one's pose was different. There were very few who took theintellect up above, who became like the Father and celebrated a meeting. Those who came to practise spiritual drillwished to practise the drill but they were unable to do so. What was the reason for that? Just as, nowadays, in orderto practise physical drill you need lightness, not grossness, because grossness is heaviness, in the same way, in thisspiritual drill there were many with different types of heaviness, that is, many with a gross intellect. Just as there aredifferent kinds of heavy bodies, in the same way, there are various types of heaviness in souls. If a photo were to betaken by an alokik camera, or if you were to see the various poses in the palace of mirrors, you would be veryamused. Just as, in your world, there is a very amusing game of various poses, in the same way, there is a lot oflaughter there also. Would you like to see this amusing game? There were many who were unable to mouldthemselves because of their heaviness. Instead of going up, they kept coming down. Instead of experiencing the seedstage, they were getting caught in the upheavals of the expansion of the tree, that is, in the tree of many thoughts.Baba is telling you about the poses of those with a gross intellect. They sit in order to have a heart­to­heartconversation, but instead of that, they sit with a whole file of complaints about themselves and other souls. They sitto experience the flying stage, but they show a lot of talent for making excuses. They come to BapDada to lightentheir burden. However, because they do not follow Baba's shrimat, instead of lightening their burden, they take onthemselves the burden of many types of disobedience of shrimat. BapDada saw the scenes of souls with many typesof burden. The scene of those who just follow the discipline was also very amusing. Do you know what that is?Instead of singing praise in front of the Father, instead of attaining all powers from the Father, the attainment of sleephas greater attraction for them.

There is semi­intoxication; they are looking forward to the time finishing. Instead of love for the Father, there isgreater love for the intoxication of sleep. What is the reason for this? It is heaviness in the soul, that is, grossness.Nowadays, doctors ask people to reduce their physical grossness; that is, to lose weight; to become lighter. In thesame way, Brahmin souls have weight, that is, a gross intellect. Remove this burden and become those with a subtleintellect. This is the special transformation that is needed at the present time. Only then will you become the angelsof the court of Indra. What is the most elevated method to remove grossness? Precaution in diet and exercise. When taking precautions,the quantity is also fixed. In the same way, let there be the exercise of the intellect becoming bodiless again andagain. Thoughts are the food for the intellect; let there be precaution in that. Whichever food of thought is required,whenever it is required, only accept that at that time Do not take extra food of waste thoughts. So there should bethe precaution of not taking the food of waste thoughts. Self­control is needed for precaution. Otherwise, you willnot be able to have complete precaution. Self­control means wherever and whenever you need to apply your intellect,you should be able to apply it. Only then will you become those with a subtle intellect. Subtlety is greatness. Just aslightness of body adds to the personality of a person, in the same way, subtlety of the intellect and lightness of thesoul is the personality of Brahmin life. So, what do you have to do now? Finish the many varieties of grossness.Baba will speak about the detail of grossness at another time; about what the different varieties of grossness are.There are many different varieties of burdens also and Baba will tell you about those at another time. So, what is thenews of today's drill? To finish the burdens. Have the aim of finishing these and become an angel, that is, makeyourself light.

To such angels of the court of Indra; to those who become the residents of the land beyond within a second; to thosewho always become like the Father and celebrate the meeting with the Father; to those with a subtle intellect, that is,to the great souls, BapDada's love remembrance and namaste.

With the groups:

One minute up, the next minute down: do you practise this exercise? Those who don't practise find it difficult. Doyou experience this spiritual excercise? If you were to receive the direction to become stable in the seed stage rightnow ­ just as directions are given to do something and it is done in one second ­ in the same way, if you were giventhe direction to become stable in the highest stage, would you be able to do this or would it take time? If the teacherasks you to put your hands up and you are not able to do this, then what would the teacher say? He would say: Moveout of the line and stand on one side. He would take you out of the line, would he not? Here also, you would have tocome out of the line. That is, you automatically come out of the line of intense effort­makers. You become part ofthe line of those who are just simply effort­makers. If an exercise has to be shown on a public stage, only the cleverones will appear on the stage. For that, the group who would claim first prize would be needed. So, to be first meansto be a fast effort­maker. If you are not fast effort­makers then you cannot be the first effort­makers. You would thenbecome the second group. Someone who is heavy is not able to go fast. There should be no type of heaviness orburden. If you are not able to have constant yoga, it means that there is heaviness; there is a burden. It is the burdenthat brings you down. The fact that you come down means that there is a burden. Body consciousness brings youdown. Just as the Father is the Highest on High, His place of residence is the highest on high, His task and His virtuesare the highest on high, so too, your place of residence, your virtues and your task are also the highest on high, arethey not? You are like the Father, are you not?

How can the ones with the highest place of residence, highest virtues and task come down? You should not comedown but you do. What would this be called? First effort­makers, or second? How can you have the aim of beingfirst­class yet have the characteristics of the second? You want to sit in the first­class but you have purchased asecond­class ticket, and so how can you be able to sit first­class?

The mothers and the kanyas are especially lucky because they are the poorest of all. Baba is also praised as the Lordof the Poor, not the Lord of the Wealthy. So the poor ones, not the wealthy, can claim a status quicker. The poor arethe fortunate ones. So the kumaris and the mothers are fortunate that they are either a kumari or a mother at theconfluence age. It is the divine activity of the gopies with the Father that has been remembered more; not so much ofthe gopes. You are lucky that you are in the body of a gopi. At the confluence age BapDada's slogan is: Shaktis first. Brahma Baba himself also surrendered to the mothers. You have heard that the mother is the guru of Brahma Babaas well. So you are so fortunate! Do you have this awareness and move with recognition of so much fortune? One isto know and the other is to accept and live on that basis. The status of the mothers, who have a part with Shiv Baba,is no less. Do you have so much intoxication? Do you have so much happiness? If you stay in this stage, you willkeep flying in happiness. Do you have this much intoxication, this much happiness? Stay in this stage and you willkeep flying in happiness. Angels always keep flying. You are such angels of the confluence age that you keep flyingwith the Father in the subtle region and the supreme region. To fly does not mean to go into trance but to keep flyingwith the vehicle of the intellect. The vehicle of the intellect is very big. You can reach wherever you wish andwhenever you choose with the intellect, but not a gross intellect, only with a subtle intellect. So, what do you have todo now? Go completely beyond the attachments of this world. This is what your effort is, is it not? What is there inthis world anyway? What use is a world without essence? So then, why do you go there? Would you go to a placewhere there is nothing useful? So stop your intellect going there. Since there is no attainment and there is no benefit,why does your intellect go there? Time is wasted, is it not? You have to come back from there anyway, and whenyou have to return, your time and energy are wasted. So then, why do you waste these? You have to accumulate fortwenty­one births in a short time. Should you waste such a short time? To waste one second means to waste thereward of one birth. The time of the confluence is so important.

Achcha, you constantly remain happy, do you not? Do you sometimes cry? One are the tears of the eyes, the otherare tears of the mind. There should not be tears of the mind either. To experience a wave of sorrow in the mindmeans there are tears in the mind. No variety of tears should come. Become free from tears. Those who cry nowlose. Those who laugh attain. Therefore, you should not see the world of sorrow even by mistake. You areexperienced in that already; so then, why do you get deceived? Once you have become experienced by beingdeceived, why allow yourself to be deceived again? Why do you fall into the world of sorrow? Once someone hasfallen into a ditch, would he allow that to happen a second time? This ditch is the very depths of hell. The thought offalling into this should not come even in your dreams. The mothers are multimillion times fortunate. Baba sees youwith that elevated vision. Not just a hundred times fortunate but multimillions times fortunate. To be a hundredtimes fortunate is ordinary, but you have become multimillion times fortunate. Always stay happy. Churn thetreasures you have received from Baba and always remain cheerful. You will not receive such a huge treasure in anyother birth throughout the entire cycle. So you should fly with so much happiness! Angels don't come down; theykeep flying up above. You are the ones who always stay in the love of One, are you not? Let there be no love otherthan love for the Father. One Father and none other! Your intellect should not go anywhere else even by mistake.Break all other connections and forge a connection with One; this is the Father's direction.

The sound that should emerge in your mind is: One Father and none other. This is called the soundless chant. Youhave to go ahead of one another. Whomsoever you see should be seen as number one. This is the wish that theFather has for the children. All of you are number one. Number one means those who are always victorious. Thevictorious jewels defeat the situation they are not defeated by that. A Shakti means someone who is a conqueror ofsinful actions. Achcha.

Blessing: Instead of being defeated again and again, sacrifice yourself and become a victorious master almightyauthority.When you constantly have every thought and perform every action considering yourself to be a victorious jewel, therecan never be defeat. Someone who is a master almighty authority can never be defeated. If you are defeated againand again, then you experience Dharamraj. Those who are defeated will have to make many garlands in the future;they will have to offer garlands to many images from the copper age onwards. Therefore, instead of being defeated,surrender yourself. Make a promise to adopt your perfect form and you will become victorious.

Slogan: The words "at some point" indicate weakness. Therefore, don't say "I will do it at some point", but say, "Iwill do it now".
