In order to fly the flag of victory, start taking the realisation course.

Today, BapDada was seeing His spiritual army. Baba saw in this army, all the numberwise ranks: the elephant­riders (maharathis), the horse­riders and the infantry. He saw on the forehead, that is, in the awareness of the maharathis, the flag of victory constantly flying. The horse­riders, the second number, also had the flag of victory flying on their forehead, in their awareness, but it was not flying constantly. Sometimes their flag was flying on the basis of the sparkle of their happiness and the intoxication of their faith. However, at other times, because the breeze of their sparkle and intoxication was not strong, instead of the flag flying, it was hanging down. Those in the third number, the infantry, remained engaged in making a lot of effort to fly their flag with their string of faith and sparkle of happiness. However, sometimes, because of the knots of their weaknesses, the flag would become stuck and unable to fly. However, because they did remain occupied in making a lot of effort, the flags of some of them did begin to fly, but this only happened after they had spent some time making effort. Therefore, they didn’t have that sparkle or intoxication. On seeing the children from a distance working hard, BapDada gave them sakaash in the form of a signal of how to do it. Some children were able to catch His signal and become successful. However, other children were so busy in making effort that they didn’t even have the time to catch the signal. Baba saw all three ranks of warriors in this army. When everyone’s flag was unfurled and began to fly very well, either through the children’s own efforts or automatically by itself, the shower of flowers of victory came sprinkling down. The shower of the flowers of the revelation of the Father and the children showered down. BapDada is now going to tell you children an easy way to make the effort you have to make.

What is the reason that the flag of victory does not fly constantly or at the right time? What is the reason that the flag that you hoist at functions does not fly at the right time? It is because you don’t rehearse beforehand. The main thing you need in order to fly the flag of victory is realisation. Start the realisation course at amrit vela. All of you speak of all these things, but it is one thing to speak about something and another thing to realise it, to experience it. There is a difference in this. It is one thing to hear or say that you have all relationships with the Father. However, if you were to remain absorbed in the experience of or attainment of each relationship, you would easily remain beyond the atmosphere of the old world. You would then experience a different relationship for each task you carry out, and, on the basis of the co­operation you received from each of those relationships, you would remain in the experience of constant yoga. To have yoga means to take co­operation from the Father and experience the different relationships with the Father at every moment. Why do you not become such easy and constant yogis? Baba is bound to fulfil His duty of any relationship at any moment. Since Baba is giving His companionship, why do those who should take it not take it? Experience how taking co­ operation is also a form of yoga. Have you experienced what the relationship with the Father is? What the relationship with the Mother is? What the relationship with your closest Friend is? And what the experience of the constant company of the Bridegroom is? If you deprive yourself of experiencing even one relationship, then you remain deprived throughout the cycle, because this is the only time of the cycle when you can receive the mine of all experiences. If not now, then never! So, examine yourself to see which relationship you have been unable to experience. In the same way, in the subject of knowledge, do you experience all the points of knowledge that you speak about? You speak of being the spinners of the discus of self­realisation, and so on what basis do you speak of having had a vision of yourself? To have a vision means to know, and someone who knows maintains his authority of knowing about that subject. Nowadays those who study the scriptures simply read the scriptures parrot­fashion, and yet each one considers himself to be an authority of the scriptures. None of you just recite this knowledge parrot­ fashion, but you play with it. Someone who constantly plays with this, that is, someone who churns this knowledge and becomes an embodiment of it would have the authority of this knowledge. This means that he would be constantly intoxicated about every point of this knowledge. So, do you maintain your authority of every point of knowledge, that is, do you remain in the intoxication of having experienced it? In the same way, when you speak of the different virtues in the subject of dharna, are you yourself an authority through having experienced every virtue? Are you a speaker, part of the audience, or an authority? It is through this that you claim your number.

A maharathi has authority through having experienced every word. Horse­riders are those who listen and speak a great deal, but do not have sufficient authority of experience. So what is the easy method? The lack of realisation means to lack becoming an image of experience. This is the main difference between devotion and knowledge. There, people merely speak of it, whereas here, you experience it. So, the basis of remaining a constant yogi is to constantly take the co­ operation of all relationships and become experienced! Do you understand how to attain the mine of all experience very well? You must not just attain a little, but attain it all. Don’t just experience two or three relationships or two or three points of knowledge, but become an embodiment of all experiences. By becoming a master almighty authority your flag of victory will constantly fly high.

Baba has love for everyone. He also has love for those from Maharashtra. All of you from Maharashtra must become embodiments of all experiences. So, the speciality of Maharashtra is that you all become victorious. You are not warriors who remain constantly battling hard, but those who are constantly victorious. The time for being a warrior is now over. If, even now, you still remain a warrior, then you are going to become part of the moon dynasty. It is now time to become a Brahmin, to become one who is victorious. The sanskars of remaining victorious over a long period of time are needed, but there is now very little time left to do this. So, if you don’t fill yourselves with the sanskars of remaining victorious, you become part of the moon dynasty. Therefore, there is still time for you to change your line of fortune.

To those who remain constantly victorious; to those who have authority through having experienced all relationships; to those who have authority through having experienced every point of knowledge; to those who have authority through having experienced every virtue; to those who have authority through having the speciality of being an ever­ready all­rounder in the subject of service; to such elevated souls who are equal to the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting groups from the Maharashtra Zone:

1.    The sound in the mind of someone whose intellect has total faith is: I have attained everything I needed to attain. Do you consider yourself to be full of all treasures, which means to be completely prosperous? Just as Baba is constantly full, are you just as full of all treasures? You should lack no treasure. Does the sound of having attained everything emerge in your heart with great happiness? The sound through the lips cannot be constant, but the sound in the heart is constantly imperishable. So, does this sound of having attained everything emerge in your heart? Does it emerge deep within your heart, or do you feel that you are yet to attain something or that you are still attaining something? Has the faith in your intellect become totally unshakeable? To become a child means to become one with all rights. You should never have any doubt about yourself as to whether you will become perfect or not; whether you will become part of the sun dynasty or the moon dynasty. Always have total faith in your intellect. Just as you have faith in the Father, so too, have faith in yourself.

By having thoughts of weakness about yourself, you develop sanskaras of weakness. Once someone becomes weak, and is unable to regain his health in a short time, the germs of that weakness become very strong. Similarly, you should not allow the germs of the weakness of waste thoughts to enter you. Once you do, it is very difficult to remove them.

Whatever scenes of the drama you see, whether they are scenes of fluctuation or scenes of total stability, you should have faith in both types of scenes. Even in the scenes of fluctuation, you should experience benefit. Your intellect should have faith to this extent. Even if the atmosphere is one that makes you fluctuate, or the problems that confront you are very intense, your intellect should still have complete faith. This is what is means to be victorious. Then, on the basis of your faith, even a very heated problem will become very cool.

Even though there are different languages, all of you are still following the one direction. You all belong to the one Father, you all have the same faith in One and you all have the same destination. It was just for the sake of service that you all went to different places. If all of you were to sit in the same place, how would the service that is needed everywhere else take place? When service is completed, all of you will come to Madhuban. Who will be able to come? Those who have destroyed all their attachment and those whose line of the intellect is clear. At that time, you will not be called by the telephone or telegram. If the line of your intellect is clear, the call will reach you. The conditions all around will be such that only the train that you are to take will run; there will be no more trains after that. If the line of your intellect is clear, you will receive all facilities that you need. Otherwise, you will become stuck somewhere or another. This is why you need to have constant yoga over a long period of time. Yoga is your armour, and only those who wear their armour all the time can remain constantly safe. Your armour of yoga is your safety dress.

2. Only those with the knowledge of the drama can stop questioning: “Why?” and “What?”, and can defeat the elements and Maya. Have all of you become the conquerors of the elements, that is, the conquerors of Maya? These five elements should not attract you nor should the five vices wage war on you. Have you passed both the papers of defeating the elements and Maya? If you were to be given a test paper of defeating the elements, have you imbibed enough power to pass that test? You would not fluctuate, would you? To fluctuate even slightly means to fail. If you ask: “What is this?” or: “Why did this happen?”, then what would the result be? If any of the problems of the elements were to attack you even slightly, then you would fail. No matter what happens, the sound that emerges from within should be, “Wah! Sweet drama!”. Have you made the knowledge of the drama so firm within yourself? Or, is it that when something good happens, you say it is drama, but when there is some fluctuation, you cry out in distress? Are you so strong that you would not even think of asking what happened? As you progress further, when such problems caused by the elements come and natural calamities increase, your stage should be such that there will be no upheaval even in your thoughts. Have you become so unshakeable and immovable? If you haven’t practised defeating Maya and the elements over a long period of time, what would the result be? The paper that comes will be of one second. The result will be announced whilst you are beginning to make your preparations. You need to practise this in order to be able to pass within a second. If at that time you are still thinking that you should have yoga or that you should sit in remembrance, the second will have passed by and you will have left your body whilst still battling. What would happen if you leave your body whilst battling in this effort­making life? You would become part of the moon dynasty. Therefore, all of you should constantly aim to become part of the rosary of one hundred and eight. If your aim is elevated, you automatically develop the necessary qualifications to attain it. Never just aim to become part of the sixteen thousand. Make effort and keep aiming to become number one.

Do all of you Shaktis constantly remain stable in the two forms: the fully adorned form that holds all weapons and the destroyer? You are not those who sometimes cry, are you? You remain constantly cheerful. You mustn’t cry even in your mind. When you become even slightly defeated by Maya, you start to cry in your mind. Mothers should constantly dance in happiness because, from being those in whom there was no hope, you have become those in whom there is hope. Baba has made you the crown on His head, and so you should be very happy. Even the Pandavas become happy on seeing the mothers because the Shaktis are the shield for the Pandavas. When the shield is strong, you are protected by them. Therefore, Pandavas should be happy to keep the mothers in front of them. If you yourselves remain at the front, you have to experience the stick. By keeping the Shaktis at the front, you Pandavas will also be praised. To put others ahead is to allow yourself to go ahead.

3. Only those who know their own speciality can become speical souls.  Just as children are constantly lost in the love of the Father, so too, the Father is constantly absorbed in serving you children. You children have no one but the Father and the Father has no one but you children. Just as you sing the Father’s praise, so too, the Father sings the praise of every child. Every day, He brings the specialities and virtues of every child in front of Him because all those who have become the children of the Father are special souls. So Baba also sings about the speciality of you special children. Just as a jeweller knows the value of every jewel, similarly, Baba knows the speciality of every child. Each jewel is more elevated than the next. So, do you continue to move along whilst considering yourself to be that elevated? You are not ordinary. Even the last bead is not ordinary. Even the last numbered bead has the speciality of recognising the Father. You are not last, but those who are going to come first. None of the numbers are as yet fixed. All the seats are empty. The final whistle has not yet been blown. As soon as the whistle is blown, you will take your seat. Even those who have come last can go fast and take the first number. Apart from the seats of the mother and father, all seats are still empty. Your fortune is now in your own hands. Baba, the Bestower of Fortune, has placed your fortune in your hands, and you can make of it whatever you want. The time of the confluence age is blessed with this blessing: “You can claim as much as you want of whatever you want to whatever extent you want”. So, are you making the most of such a golden chance?

No matter how much expansion there is of service, your stage has to remain stable in the essence. If you were to be given a direction to become a master seed in a second, it should not take you any time to become that. You should become that instantly. The game is of a second. You create your fortune for the whole cycle in the game of one second, so create as much fortune as you want. Achcha.

Blessing: May you be a victorious jewel who experiences the karmateet form by attaining victory over all limitations. The essence of all four subjects of this study is in the word “unlimited”. To stabilise yourself in the form of this word “unlimited” is the first and final effort. First, you die alive by ending your limited consciousness of the body and stabilising in your unlimited form of soul consciousness. Then, at the end, you go beyond all relationships and become an angel. Those who are victorious over all limitations and become unlimited servers whilst remaining stable in their unlimited form experience their final karmateet stage as victorious jewels.

Slogan: When you have the desire to transform yourself, you will continue to succeed within a gathering.
