Teachings to celebrate 18th January, the day of remembrance, as a day of power for all time.

Today, all the children were more in remembrance of the corporeal form and remained in the awareness of being an embodiment of love. The corporeal father who became the subtle father was merged in everyone’s eyes. Since amrit vela, the message of the remembrance of the children from this land and abroad has been spreading everywhere in the subtle region creating a special atmosphere. The subtle region was decorated with garlands of tears of love. Each child was lost in love for father Brahma. The sounds from the hearts of the lovers everywhere were reaching BapDada. The subtle region was echoing the beautiful sounds of the Father’s praise coming from each one’s mind. The lamps of each one’s hopes were alight and thus making the subtle region sparkle. On seeing the children’s love, BapDada smiled. Children from this land and abroad reached the subtle region with the yoga of their intellect. Brahma Baba also became lost in the children’s ocean of love, and gave the return of their remembrance.

Children were asking the father: Why did you leave and go to reside in the subtle region before all of us? This was the question filled with love that the majority of children were asking. Baba said: “At the beginning of the task of creation, only one became an instrument in the corporeal form; only one received the message from Alpha; only one became an embodiment of complete renunciation for the sake of service. On seeing the father, the children followed him. Baba became the first instrument in this renunciation and thereby claimed his fortune. So too, now, at the end, in order to uplift the children and make them avyakt, Baba had to become a resident of the subtle region. He has to do this from the subtle region, a place higher than the corporeal world. Baba says: Now, you yourself have to become complete and become complete in service. Become a resident of the avyakt region, the same as the father. BapDada is still, even now, invoking you. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the drama? Even though it is fixed within the drama, what reason is instrumental for it to be fixed? Simply have the determination to imbibe one small thing and there will be an eternal meeting. Just as you have remained stable today in the stage of an easy yogi, a constant yogi belonging to the one Father and none other, so too, now claim this blessing for all time. What will happen then? This separation will end for all time and you will constantly remain in the celebration of being together; you will change from being an embodiment of love into being equal. The sign of love for someone is to become like that one. Your way of walking, eating, drinking, and everything else you do would be just as the one you love likes. You love the father, but do you know what he loves? What does Baba constantly like? Not what you like, but what does Baba, the one you love, like? Whatever thought you have or whatever act you perform, first consider whether the father whom you love would like it. If Baba doesn’t like it, then other people too would not like it. It is such a tiny thing to do what the father likes! Can you not give this much return all the time? What is difficult about giving this much in return for the love of all relationships? Celebrate today’s day of remembrance as the day of power for all time. Have the thought: I have to like whatever the father likes. Everything I do should be as the father likes and as other people like.

From today, the day of power, all you children should give your finger of determination to put an end for all time to the the iron­aged mountain of all the weaknesses of hopelessness, of being influenced by the sanskars of others and of being attracted to people and things that only give you limited attainments. This means you have to become victorious for all time. Victory is your tilak. Victory is the garland around your neck. Victory is your birthright. Constantly maintain this form of power. This is the return of love. Brahma Baba imbibed the essence of knowledge and gave you children the courage to follow the father; he gave the final versions through the corporeal form as an invaluable gift. Therefore, Baba asks you children: Have you put this gift into practice? In return for this gift, have you revealed Baba by becoming the practical form of it? Have you put the three words into practice? (Incorporeal, egoless and viceless). To put this into practice would be to give the return of love you receive from the corporeal one. It is through these three words that Baba attained his karmateet stage. And so, follow the father! Sakar Baba demonstrated this by making his stage like a pillar. You have created this Tower of Peace as a memorial of this. The same applies to you. You have to become a pillar of all virtues, so that the souls of all religions will accept you as the pillars of all virtues, just as Adi Pita (the first father), become a pillar of power and peace in front of the world.

BapDada is giving multimillion­fold love to all the loving children for their messages of love. Now, constantly remain multimillion­times fortunate. Achcha.

To those who are constantly an embodiment of Baba’s remembrance and thereby an embodiment of power; to those who constantly do that which the father likes; to those who remain as stable as a pillar of power and peace in front of the world; to the long­lost and now­ found children who are close to the father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting the Dadis:

Today, did you maintain a balance between love and power? Did you remember sakar Baba a lot today, or was your remembrance balanced between the two? The children who maintain this balance receive Baba’s blessing of remaining blissful. Today, sakar Baba also remembered you children. He was very happy to see the jewels of speciality in each of you children. In his physical life, his sanskars were that of a jeweller. Even in his alokik (spiritual) life, his task is also that of a jeweller. Where would a jeweller’s vision be drawn? Towards his invaluable jewels. Baba was seeing his jewels and embellishing them. You already know about Brahma Baba’s sanskars of fast effort. Today, Baba said: Prepare a garland! As soon as the garland is ready, it means that the game has ended. What happened then? According to his sanskars of making fast effort, Brahma Baba began to prepare the garland, but then Baba began to smile. He prepared the garland, but as soon as it was ready and he began to check it again, he didn’t like it. He immediately began to alter it. He wanted to complete it and show it to everyone. Baba said: You have the full power to show everyone by completing it however you want. Brahma Baba invokes you children every day. Do you also invoke Baba? What result was seen? It was a very entertaining scene. There was a heart­to­heart conversation between the two; they both smiled. The garland of 100 was 90% ready. The garland of 8 was having so many alterations made. The conversation was about who should be given the fourth number and who should be given the fifth number. So, today, Brahma Baba was thinking intensely about completing the garland.

Just as Baba is unique, so His games are also unique. People of the world think that Baba has gone. However, he can celebrate a unique meeting with his children whenever he wants. People of the world have a curtain in front of their eyes. In any case, you would meet someone you love behind a curtain! So, there is a curtain in front of the eyes of the people of the world. However, Baba cannot be separated from His children. His promise was: We will go together. Do you remember this promise? Achcha.

BapDada meeting groups:

1. Did all of you hear BapDada’s heart­to­heart conversation in the subtle region? Have you also received the inspiration to make yourself ever­ready? Always pay attention to remaining as victorious as the father, because it is only those who remain victorious for a long period of time that can become the beads of the rosary of victory. If you are defeated every now and again, you can never become a bead of the rosary of victory. What should you constantly remember in order to be victorious? In order to become victorious, you must constantly keep the father in front of you and do that which the father has done. Every step you take should be like his step. Whatever the children think should be that which the father thinks. Whatever the children say should be that which the father says; only then will you be able to become victorious. You need to pay attention to this constantly. If you only want to claim a kingdom for a short time, then you only have to remember this for a short time. As is your effort, so is your reward. So, are your efforts so constant that you will claim a kingdom for all time? Since you have all the knowledge of Maya, you can never be deceived. It is when you become ignorant that you are deceived. Knowledge is said to be light and might. Those who are filled with knowledge, that is, those who have both light and might, can never be defeated by Maya. Sometimes, your thoughts lack determination. You think about doing something, but, because you lack the determination to do it, your thinking and doing are not equal. When there is determination in your thoughts, your doing will become equal to your thinking. You have heard a great deal; so now put everything that you have heard into practice.

2. Do you know the importance of the confluence age and thereby accumulate in every thought and at every second? No time is wasted, is it? Even when a second is wasted, the value of that second is very great. Just as you receive a hundred­thousand­fold for one, so too, if you waste even a second, you have wasted a hundred­thousand­fold. Do you pay this much attention? You don’t become careless, do you? It is no longer the time for this. At the moment, everything is OK because no one is checking your account, but in just a short while, you yourself will have to repent. This time is very valuable and it is through the blessing of this time that you can become an invaluable jewel. An invaluable jewel would spend his time in an invaluable way. By considering yourself to be an invaluable jewel, every second and every thought you spend will also become invaluable.

3. Do all of you consider yourselves to be the most elevated souls of all and thereby perform elevated deeds? As is your occupation, so should be your acts. The acts of someone in a high position would be according to that position. How do you most elevated souls occupy yourselves? Every thought and every second of an elevated soul would be just as elevated. No one else can have the special part of attaining the Father that you have. Since you are called Brahma Kumars, the children of God, your behaviour should be according to that. Let your behaviour constantly be according to your occupation. If an eminent person were to act senselessly or like a child, everyone would laugh at him. So too, if you call yourselves Brahma Kumars but act ordinarily, what would people say? You have been senseless for half a kalpa; now become sensible! Every thought of a sensible person would be powerful.

4. Do you consider yourself to be as unshakeable as Angad, just as you were a kalpa ago? To be as unshakeable as Angad means to be constantly victorious by having faith in your intellect. If you shake even slightly, you cannot become victorious. The obstacles of Maya come to you as a test­paper in the drama in order to make you into a mahavir. You can’t be transferred to a more advanced class without taking an exam. To be given a test­paper in school means to progress in school. So, when you are given a paper, you should be happy and not shake. Learn a lesson from Maya. Maya never shakes; she remains immovable. Learn this lesson from Maya and conquer her.

5. The response of love is to follow the father. One would automatically follow someone one loves. Always remember to check whether the act you are about to perform would be following the father. If not, then stop it there and then. If you are following the father in performing it, then continue with it. After all, you only have to copy him. By copying the father, you become like the father. In order to copy something, you normally use a carbon paper. Therefore, use the photocopy paper of attention and you will be able to copy him.

6. If you don’t make yourself into an intense effort­maker now, then it will soon be too late and you will remain deprived because this time is soon going to end. Now is the time to make yourself completely full with all powers. If you are not able to make yourself completely full, then take co­operation, but don’t just put it aside. The sign of someone becoming complete is seen from his contentment. Therefore, become a constantly contented soul.

Blessing: May you be one who follows the highest code of conduct and thereby remains as entertaining as you are spiritual.

Many children joke and tease others a great deal and consider it to be entertainment. Only when someone is entertaining according to the people around, the time, the gathering, the place and the atmosphere is that entertainment considered to be good. If even one aspect out of all these is not correct, then that entertaining nature would be counted as something wasteful. The certificate you would be given is of making others laugh very much, but also of talking too much. Therefore, only when teasing is filled with spirituality and benefit for that soul would it be considered good. Only when your words are within the guidelines would you be called one who follows the highest code of conduct.

Slogan: Know the importance of this time and you will become completely full of all treasures.
