The deep significance of attaining a status worthy of worship, numberwise, through the same study.
Today, BapDada was seeing the philosophy of karma of each child’s effort and their attainment of a royal and worshipworthy status according to that effort. This is very profound and entertaining. Just as effort is numberwise, so too, the attainment of a status and a worship worthy status is also numberwise. The royal and worshipworthy status of the number one effort makers is very elevated and filled with deep significance. All become worthy of worship. For the people of the world, all souls who are making effort become worthy of worship. Whether they become part of the eight jewels, the rosary of 108, the rosary of 16,000 or the ninehundred thousand subjects, they all definitely become worthy of worship in one form or another. Even today, people create countless saligrams and worship them. However, you must be aware of the vast difference between how you are worshipped in the form of saligrams and in the form of the special deities in the temples. Whereas many souls are worshipped in the form of saligrams, only a few wellknown souls are worshipped as the specially beloved deities. The rosary of 16,000 is only rotated sometimes; the rosary of 108 is rotated often and the jewels of the rosary of eight, of the specially beloved gods and goddesses are constantly remembered in everyone’s heart, just as the Father is. Why is there such a big difference? BapDada gives all the children the same teachings and the same aim: of becoming victorious jewels and changing from humans into deities. Yet, why is there such a big difference in the way they are worshipped? Some are worshipped in both forms: as saligrams and as gods or goddesses; the others are simply worshipped as saligrams, beads of the rosary. So what is the significance of this? The main reason is in the aim of becoming soul conscious and the effort of remaining stable in the form of the soul. All Brahmins begin to make this effort as soon as they birth. There cannot be a Brahmin who is not making effort to become soul conscious. However, a number is created on the basis of being constantly soul conscious through which the physical senses are conquered and made cool. A number is created on the basis of being dead whilst alive, to the old sanskars and relations of the body. Some effortmakers are able to conquer their physical senses; they become the conquerors of their senses; others are deceived by their eyes, and others by the different tastes of the tongue. They are deceived by one or another of the senses. They are not able to become completely viceless and the conquerors of all their senses. Due to this reason, the effortmaking souls who are weak and become defeated by their senses are worshipped as saligrams. You are worshipped because of being the children of the highestonhigh Father, of having the company of the highest Father, because of your study and the sustenance you receive and because of being the elevated souls of the world. However, because of not being the conquerors of all your senses, you are not worshipped as deities in the corporeal form. As you do not become completely pure, you are not worshipped as deities or praised as completely viceless souls. As you are not constantly seated on BapDada’s heartthrone, and you don’t have in your heart, constant remembrance of the Comforter of Hearts, the One who wins everyone’s heart, bhagat souls are not able to merge you in their heart as the special deity souls. As there isn’t remembrance all the time, there isn’t a memorial in the temple all the time. Therefore, there is a difference. There is a vast difference between the single worship and the double worship. A subject is worshipped in one way and one who has attained a royal status is worshipped in another way. There is a difference between the two.
Every act of special deities is worshipped. Some deities are worshipped every day but not every act of theirs is worshipped. Some are worshipped on specially fixed days; this too is significant. Ask yourself in which form you are worshipped. If you are not able to be victorious in any of the subjects, then just as a damaged idol cannot be worshipped – instead of being worthy of worship, it’s just like ordinary stone and has no value so too, if you are not completely victorious in any one subject, you cannot become one who is supremely worthy of worship. You would just be worthy of worship and worthy of praise. Why do you become worthy of praise? You are praised because you become Baba’s child. You play a part with the Father, you sing praise of the Father, you renounce everything according to your capacity, and you stay in remembrance according to your capacity.
There is also significance in the worship. First is worship because of purity. Secondly, because of being elevated souls who have imbibed all powers from the One with All Powers, the Almighty Authority, you are worshipped as a memorial of the different forms of all those powers. The memorial of the souls who have fully adopted the power to imbibe all the knowledge is in the form of Saraswati. Durga is the memorial of the power to destroy. The great donors who donate the wealth of knowledge and all treasures are worshipped in the form of Lakshmi. Those who attain victory over every obstacle are worshipped as the destroyers of obstacles. Those who become the conquerors of Maya, and have the power to make the fearsome form of Maya very ordinary, are worshipped as Mahavir. Every power and every elevated action of the elevated souls is worshipped. The worship of the powers is portrayed as the worship of the deities. Those who are worthy of worship in this way, whose every elevated act and power is worshipped, are called the supremely worshipworthy souls. So, now make yourself an image of perfection. Check whether you are a damaged idol or one who is worthy of worship. Your praise is of being completely viceless and sixteen celestial degrees complete. Have you simply become viceless or completely viceless? Is your yoga constant or does the link break? Are you unshakeable or is there fluctuation? What does the Father want? That each soul should become as perfect as the Father. All children also have this desire, but only some actually do it and this is why a number is created. Achcha, you hear a lot, but now you have to do what you hear. Let both be the same. Do you understand what you have to do?
To such supremely worshipworthy souls; to those who constantly keep the Father with them; to those who take every step according to shrimat; to such images of support for the world; to the world transformer souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
BapDada meeting groups:
Do you constantly experience yourselves to be angels as you do everything? Angels are those who have no connection or attraction to the body, the physical world or the possessions of the physical world. Angels are those who are constantly in remembrance of the Father and doing service. Do you constantly have just the one concern of remembering Baba and serving? Apart from the Father and service, what else is there to pull the intellect? A trustee is always detached. A trustee has the sole duty of staying in remembrance and serving. Even the deeds performed are for service. A householder acts out of selfish motives, whereas a trustee does everything for the sake of service. Are you making natural effort to become fully accomplished in all subjects? As you come close to the time and to perfection, the method of effort also changes. There is a difference between the effort of the beginning, and the middle and the end. Now, what is the effort needed to come close to the stage of perfection? When something automatic is started, it continues to function by itself; you don’t need to keep rewinding it. So too, once you have been given your aim, you should continue to ascend at every step, in every thought and at every moment. Do you experience this? What is the sign of the powerful form of effort? (Reaching one’s destination early.) What would be the sign of those who reach their destination early? Would they be experienced in all subjects or just in some subjects? (In all subjects.) So, do you have the same marks in all subjects? It is good to go in advance, but it is also essential to take advantage of all subjects. You have a good aim, and your aim changes. Do you always consider yourself to be a soul who is close, constantly cooperative and a yogi soul in your own work and the work of the Father? To the extent that you cooperate in the Father’s task, accordingly you can become a yogi soul. If you do not cooperate, you cannot be a yogi soul. To cooperate is to stay in the remembrance of the Father and the Father’s task. In lokik life as well, you remember the one you cooperate with. So a yogi soul is one who cooperates. By cooperating, you become a natural yogi and accumulate an income of multimillions. What cooperation do you give? Do you make your old body and impure mind pure and satopradhan through having Baba’s remembrance and then use them for service, or do you give a handful of rice, wealth? What else do you use? A yogi is one who cooperates with body, mind and wealth. You sing, “Wherever I am, my wealth will be pulled there. This is the easy method to be a constant yogi. When you cooperate and receive the return of that cooperation, your yoga becomes easy. So, cooperate with the Father in every thought and in every deed. All waste will finish when you cooperate in every type of service, because the Father’s task is very powerful. Such a co operative soul automatically becomes an intense effortmaker. Do you constantly experience yourself to be a soul with faith in the intellect and one who is carefree? Those who have faith in the intellect will be carefree; they will not have any type of unnecessary thoughts or worries. They would not have questions such as, “What happened? Why did it happen?” These are wasteful thoughts. Those who have faith in the intellect are carefree; they do not have any waste thoughts. They constantly maintain thoughts of the original self. By being stable in their original stage, they gain victory over adverse situations. Why do you accept the adverse situations that have come from somewhere else? Move away from the adverse situations and you will be able to maintain thoughts of the original self. Those who are stable in thoughts of the original self are constantly merged in the Ocean of Happiness. Are you merged in the Ocean of Happiness? Since the Father is the Ocean of Happiness, the children are master oceans of happiness. Do you experience waves of sorrow in your thoughts or are you constantly happy? The masters of the Ocean of Happiness cannot experience any kind of sorrow. If you experience sorrow, then you are master oceans of sorrow. Ravan comes to such souls through the eyes, ears and mouth. Ravan cannot come to those who are almighty authorities. The Father’s remembrance is the greatest protection of all. Those who are never defeated by Maya or by any obstacles are constantly seen to be completely loving, detached and unique in this world. Do you constantly stay like a lotus or do you get affected by drops of mud? When you take every step according to shrimat, you will constantly be like a lotus. When dictates of the mind become mixed, you cannot constantly be like a lotus. To be influenced by the waves of the world is to be affected by drops of mud. The elevated treasure of the confluence age is supersensuous joy. Do you experience the attainment of this treasure? Have you received the treasure of supersensuous joy? Why do you lose the treasures you have found? How should you guard them? By paying attention! If you pay inadequate attention you lose the treasures you have received. Will you receive these treasures ever again throughout the entire kalpa? You should look after something so invaluable with such great care. Generally, a very good item is guarded with great care. However, when those guarding it become careless, there is a lot of damage. When you become careless here, you lose your treasures. You need to pay attention constantly. It should not be that you pay attention when you sit for remembrance at amrit vela, and that your attention becomes slack when you start to do other things. You think that by paying attention at amrit vela, you have done all you need to do, but you need to pay attention whilst moving around as well. If you do not experience supersensuous joy at this time, you can never experience it at any other time. Within the account of five thousand years, this time is very elevated. What would you be doing if you are not paying attention for a short time for such an elevated attainment? Karma and yoga should be performed simultaneously. Yoga means to pay attention to remembrance. Just as you do not stop performing actions, so you cannot stop having remembrance. This is known as being a karma yogi. Do you know which of the specialities of the Pandavs has been remembered? The main foundation of the Pandavs is in belonging to the one Father and none other. For the Pandavs, the Father is their world. Whose memorial is this? Your memorial is remembered every kalpa. So do you experience the Father to be your entire world? Do you see the Father wherever you look? In the world, you have relationships and wealth. So, all your relationships and wealth are with the Father. So is there anything else? Pandavs are those whose world is the Father. Such Pandavs are definitely victorious in every task. They cannot question whether they will be victorious or not. Before you perform a deed, do you wonder whether you will accomplish it? Or, do you have the faith that everything is already accomplished? Pandavs already have the faith that they are victorious because they have the Almighty Authority Father with them. Pandavs are victorious jewels. Only victorious jewels are loved by the Father.
Blessing: May you be powerful and become a conqueror of Maya through the support of remembrance and service in Brahmin life.The foundation of Brahmin life is remembrance and service. If the foundation of remembrance and service is weak, then Brahmin life is sometimes intense and sometimes slack. Then, you feel that you can continue along well if you receive cooperation, companionship and the right circumstances. Otherwise, you become weak. Therefore, you need to have intensity in remembrance and service. If you have remembrance and serve selflessly, you can easily become a conqueror of Maya. Then you will see victory in every action.
Slogan: If you constantly have enthusiasm for service, all minor weaknesses become merged.
