The Importance of Purity.

BapDada is happy to see all His great souls, His righteous (dharmatmas) souls, His charitable and purest souls. The children of the Supreme Soul are the supremely pure children. Importance is given to purity. People everywhere believe in purity. It is because of their purity that souls become supremely worthy of being worshipped and remembered. Purity is their elevated religion, their dharna. The greatest donation of charity in this Godly service is the donation of purity. To enable someone to become pure is to make him into a charitable soul, because, at that time, you are stopping that soul from the very great sin of committing suicide of the soul. To commit suicide of the soul is impurity, whereas to give the donation of life is purity. To make someone pure means to make him into a charitable soul. The slogan you use for the essence of this knowledge of the Gita and of this Godly knowledge also indicates the importance of purity. The slogan, “Be holy, be yogi” is the basis of becoming a great soul. The number (position) you are awarded for the effort you make in your Brahmin life is also based on your purity. The memorials of those on the path of devotion are also based on their purity. No devotees without that purity are allowed to touch your idol, your non­living memorial. Importance is also given to purity for this whole day that they celebrate in memory of a special deity. Devotees observe that discipline for a temporary period. When people celebrate the nine nights of the goddesses (Navratri), the birth of Krishna (Janamasthmi), the festival of lights (Deepawali) and the other festivals, they definitely follow the discipline of observing purity even if for only a temporary period. They observe the discipline of purity of the body and the soul. They definitely observe both types of cleanliness. Even when they turn the beads of the rosary which is your memorial, they do that with the accurate discipline of purity. You souls become the embodiments of success, and so because you souls become this, you are worshipped accurately in the right way. Do you know how important purity is? Because purity is the principal paper, it is checked first. Each of you must have checked your own paper of purity and made progress according to the programme. Within the overall result, the percentage of the majority of you was OK in the subject of karma (performing action). The result of speech was 25% less than in the subject of action. The result of thoughts was 50% less than the subject of action. There was a slight difference between thoughts and dreams. Within all the results, from the moment that you took birth up to now, some were constantly going up and down in their efforts. There would be a stain and then they would erase it. Sometimes, they would think about something and then make effort to stop that thought. Sometimes there would be a stain in their words or actions which they would then make effort to remove. There were many who would do something wrong and then make effort to stop that. However, there were also such intense effort­makers who from the beginning have erased the stain of their sanskars so deeply from the beginning that even now their paper is visible as completely clean. They have erased it all so much that none of it arises even in their dreams. Baba saw these very pure souls who passed with honour. What is their speciality?

From the moment they took Brahmin birth, they haven’t needed to make effort for purity, but have had the special aim of having this original and eternal sanskar of a Brahmin soul. Because they have such natural sanskars, impurity has never emerged in their dreams or thoughts. They have conducted themselves so naturally with sanskars of purity that they have even gone beyond the stage where they first have an impure thought and then have to make effort to remove it and become victorious in that. They haven’t needed to make effort in this subject. Baba saw souls who had such sanskars of being supremely worthy of being worshipped. However, these souls are in the minority. These souls are knowledge­full. They show others the way to become pure. They listen to others telling them of their weaknesses and give them Baba’s shrimat. Whilst they themselves have been constantly listening to everything and advising about everything in return, they have constantly remained clean. In the subject of purity, they have always remained embodiments of success. This is why such supremely worthy­of­being­worshipped souls are also worshipped accurately in the right way. They are worshipped as the special eight deities, and also as the special deities of the devotees. The practical form of the eight Shaktis is in the form of the special eight deities. So, did you hear the result of the paper? Now pay double attention to transforming the thoughts in your mind. Do not think that it’s natural to have these types of thoughts until you become perfect; no! Burn the seed of that thought in the fire of yoga so that it cannot bear fruit for half a kalpa, so that even the first two leaves in the form of words cannot grow, so that the trunk, branches and twigs of actions cannot grow. By burning this seed over a long period of time you will stop its fruit from being born for many births. It is not that you can become perfect in this subject at the end, but it is by practising this over a long period of time that will enable you to pass at the end. First of all, stop thinking that you will become perfect at the end. It is by becoming this now that you can then become this at the end. If you do not do this now, you cannot become this at the end. Therefore, now wake up from this sleep of carelessness! By remaining asleep in this, you will lose everything. Don’t complain later that you thought you would become perfect at the end! Understand the meaning of becoming perfect at the end. Never think that you will resolve any particular weakness you have at the end. You have to make effort now to prepare the ornaments of your Brahmin life. You have to embelish your ornaments with the maryadas and disciplines now. You have to polish these ornaments now. At the end, you will simply have to put a final touch to the ornaments you have already polished, that’s all! You won’t even have time to be able to polish anything then. You will only have time for the elevated service of serving other souls. At that time, you won’t be an effort­maker, you will be a master bestower. At that time, giving will be receiving. If you have finished constantly receiving, at that time, how would you have the time to be able to polish yourself? If you were to remain busy in embellishing yourself at that time, you will be unable to play the part of a world benefactor. Therefore, you must imbibe the sanskars of a master creator now. Put an end to your childish sanskars and become a master creator, a bestower of blessings, a greatly enlightened soul and a great donor, and thereby continue to bestow on others powers, knowledge, virtues and all the treasures that you have received. To be a bestower of blessings means to transform with your own power souls as well as the influence of the atmosphere and vibrations. To be a greatly enlightened soul means to transform souls with your words and your various methods of service. To be a great donor means to be spiritually merciful for souls who are completely weak, disheartened or powerless and to give them extra power. However, in some cases you are even being merciful to Maya. When someone is doing something wrong and you feel mercy for that soul, you are being merciful to Maya. At such a time as that, you have to be lawful. It is in fact because you have attachment. However, you feel that you are being merciful. In reality, that is called being merciful to Maya. Do not become merciful in that way. This is why Baba said you must be spiritually merciful. Otherwise, some of you even take advantage of words. To be a great donor means to create hope in a completely hopeless case. To help other souls with your power means to help and be a gret donor for your subjects. You cannot be a great donor for heir­quality souls. Donations are always given to those who are very poor. It is those who have no support that are given support. So, at the end, you have to be a great donor for your subject and devotee souls. Brahmins are not great donors for one another. Brahmins are co­operative companions. You are brothers and equal effort­makers. You have to give each other co­operation, and not donation. Do you understand? Now stop thinking that you will do this at some time! Also, stop using the expression “some time!”. An intense effort­maker never says “at some time” but always says “now”. Therefore, now become a constant intense effort­maker.

To such constant world benefactor and purest souls, to the supremely worthy­of­being­ worshipped souls who remain beyond any type of impurity in their thoughts and dreams and who, even at this time, are worthy of being respected and praised, to the karma yogi souls who are constantly serving with their thoughts and their form, to such charitable souls, to the great donors who are bestowers of blessings, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting groups:

1. Are all of you ever­ready all­rounders? To be ever­ready means that you start doing something the moment you receive an order. As soon as you receive an order, you say “Ha ji”, not that you ask “What should I do? How should I do this?” If you have thoughts such as “What will happen?”, “How will this happen?”, “Will I be able to continue or not?”, you cannot be said to be ever­ready. The speciality of an intense­maker is of being an ever­ready all­rounder. Whenever you receive a chance to serve, whether through your thoughts, words or deeds, you must be number one in every method. It should not be that you are number one in serving through words, number two in serving through deeds and number three in serving through thoughts. You must be able to serve through your thoughts with as much love as you serve through your words. Now increase your practice of serving through your thoughts. Even householders can give the seven days’ course and serve through words. Your duty is to make the atmosphere powerful. Make the atmosphere of your place, your town, of Bharat and the world powerful. Check whether you are successful in serving through your thoughts. When you are successful in serving with your thoughts, then your own stage and the stage of your cenre will remain obstacle­free and continue to ascend. For its stage to ascend doesn’t ust mean that its numer increases. The stage of ascent means that its number grows in quality as does its atmosphere and that the stage of you yourself and your companions is also in ascent. This is known as the stage of ascent. Do you experience this? Is your amrit vela powerful? It should not be that obstacles come because you are careless at amrit vela. Do you have such powerful amrit vela that you are able to give light and might to the world? Are you yourself content with your remembrance at amrit vela?

The main subject is remembrance. When BapDada goes on a tour at amrit vela, He sees a lack of powerful vibrations. Some of you sit there like lords of discipline. You must now become embodiments of experience. You force yourself to sit there because of your discipline. Once you have an experience of love, you will sit there again with that deep love. When you have experienced something, that pulls you towards itself even against your conscious wish. When serving through words, if you experience happiness, you run to do that even against your conscious wish. Make amrit vela just as powerful so that you become able to increase your experience of serving through your thoughts. At the end you will not have a chance to serve through words. The certificate you receive will be based on how much you served through your thoughts, because the queue at that time will be so long that you won’t be able to say anything. Even now, when you hold a fair, what do you do in such a huge gathering? You peacefully give them your good wishes and drishti filled with pure feelings. At the end, when your impact has spread, what will happen? At the moment, they come because of the impact of physical light, but at that time, there will be the impact of the light of you souls. At that time, you will have to serve with your mind. You will have to take them beyond with your glance. You will have to change their attitude with your attitude. You will have to make them powerful with your own power. Will you give them lectures at that time? So, it is essential to practise serving them through your mind now and become an embodiment of experience. Tell others something on the basis of your own experience. Do you understand? You now have to increase serving through your mind. Now create an obstacle­free atmosphere in which no soul would have the courage to create any obstacle. When an obstacle comes and you have to make effort to remove it, that is also time being wasted. Therefore, now make your fort very strong. Co­operate and be loving with one another and everyone will follow you. Others will follow you in whatever you do.

2. Are all of you those who remain as unshakeable and immovable as Angad? No situation or person of Ravan’s kingdom should be able to shake you even in your thoughts. No one should be able to move you even as much as your nail. For your thoughts to fluctuate, means to shake as much as a fingernail. So, no person or situation should be able to shake you even in your thoughts. Sometimes a physical relative or one of your divine family member becomes an instrument to create an obstacle. However, those who remain as unshakeable as Angad would be able to overcome all situations because they are knowledgeful and they understand why that obstacle has come in front of them. Such obstacles do not come to make you fall, but to make you strong. Such souls will not be confused. In an examination hall, it is the dull students that become confused, whereas the clever students will be happy because their intellects are aware that by sitting that paper, they will move forward in their class. They find nothing difficult! The dull students will just constantly be counting the questions. They will ask why they have been given such questions, who prepared such questions, why they have so many questions etc. Here, too, something has to become an instrument in order to test you. Therefore, you should not question why so­and­so is doing something or feel that so­and­so shouldn’t be doing something. Whatever happened is good. Simply select the best of everything. Swans would select pearls and put aside stones. They are able to separate milk from water. They take the milk and leave the water. In the same way, when such a situation comes in front of you, consider it to be like water and leave it. Don’t ask, ‘Who mixed this?’, “Why did they do this?”. By doing that you are wasting time. If the time for taking the test is over and you are still asking questions, then you will fail. When you waste your time, it means you fail. If, whilst taking your last breath, you ask the question “Why?” or “What?”, it means you fail! To have sensitive feelings about anything means to fail. When Maya comes to you in the form of a lion just keep your fire of yoga lit. Where there is a light, nothing as fearsome as a lion will be able to attack you. When the fire of your yoga remains constantly lit, Maya cannot approach you in any form. All obstacles will vanish.

Blessing: May you be a double light angel who is loved by all because of your unlimited vision, attitude and stage.

Everyone loves angels because angels belong to everyone, not just to one or two. Angels have unlimited vision, attitude and stage and carry God’s message to all souls. Angels mean those who are double­light; they forge everyone with the one Father; they are detached from the body and all bodily relations; they make themselves and others equal to the Father through their own face and behaviour and are benefactors of everyone. Such angels are loved by all.

Slogan: Those who use every second, breath and treasure they have in a worthwhile way become embodiments of success.
