The power of silence is the basis of the powers of discrimination and judgement.


Today, Baba is giving you the experience of nirvana, the stage beyond sound which means the stage of being an embodiment of silence. Your original religion, your pure actions, your original form and your original land are those of peace. Your special power of the confluence age is the power of silence. All of you confluence­aged souls have the aim of going to the sweet silence home. Your world needs the power of this eternal qualification: of being an embodiment of peace and giving everyone peace. All problems can be solved with this power of silence. Why? When souls, the embodiments of peace, are in silence, they are in solitude and their power is constantly concentrated; then they can attain two special powers. One is the power to discriminate and the other is the power to judge. These two special powers easily enable you to resolve all problems in your interactions with others and in doing God’s work. They easily enable you to become a destroyer of obstacles on God’s path. You have to discern what Maya is and then, after that, judge what to do. Because of Maya’s various forms, you are unable to recognise her from a distance and chase her away. Maya comes in a divine and royal form to the children who are following God’s path. In order to recognise this form of Maya, you need to develop your power of concentration. Only when you develop the power of silence can you attain the power of concentration.


At present, you Brahmin souls lack deep transformation because you consider the rolled­gold form of Maya to be real gold. Because of not being able to recognise her, you say: “What I did and said was all right!” “What have I done wrong?” “I have to continue to do it in this way.” Even when you are wrong, you wouldn’t consider yourselves to be wrong. What is the reason for this? You lack the power to discriminate. You consider the royal form of Maya to be real. Because of not having the power to discriminate, you are unable to make an accurate judgment. You are unable to judge whether you yourself have to change or whether the other person has to change. This is why the speed of transformation has to be fast. Time is now moving very fast.


However, there is the difference of day and night between the attainment you receive by transforming yourself according to the time and transforming yourself according to your elevated thoughts. It is the same with cars that people drive. One is a car that has a self­starter and the other needs a push to start it. So there is a difference between the two. Therefore, to transform yourself by being pushed by time means that your car of effort can only continue with a push. It means that you are not being driven, but that you are driving the car. To transform yourself on the basis of time means to attain only a small share of attainment. One is the owner and the other is a shareholder. The owner has all rights and the other just receives a drop. What is the reason for this? There is no experience of the power of silence. When you have the power of silence, you can develop the power of discrimination and the power of judgment and, through these powers, there will be deep transformation. Do you understand how great the power of silence is? The power of silence cools down the fire of anger. The power of silence can finish all upheaval of waste thoughts. No matter what your old sanskars are like, the power of silence can finish them all. The power of silence can easily finish any sickness in the mind. The power of silence can enable all souls to experience a meeting with the Father, the Ocean of Peace. The power of silence can enable the souls who have been wandering around for many births to experience the destination. It makes you into a great soul (mahatma), a righteous soul (dharamatma). The power of silence enables you to tour all three worlds in a second. Do you understand how great this power is? The power of silence enables you to labour less, and with less expenditure attain greater glory. The power of silence enables you to be economical with your treasures of thought. This means you can attain greater success in less time. The power of silence changes cries of distress into cries of victory. The power of silence enables you to be constantly garlanded with the garland of success. There are the cries of victory, and you are garlanded! Therefore, what else remains? Everything has been accomplished! So, did you hear how great you are? You don’t use this great power enough.


You know how to shoot an arrow with words. Now, shoot the arrows of silence through which you can bring about greenery even in the desert. No matter how hard mountain­rocks may be, water can be made to emerge from it. Now, use the power of silence in a practical way. Why does this land of Madhuban attract you all? Because you experience silence here, do you not? Therefore, make all your service centres, and all the homes and families everywhere into the same Shanti kund (a place with a peaceful atmosphere). Then the rays of peace will attract all souls everywhere in the world towards the experience of peace. That peace becomes like a magnet. The time will come when all your centres become magnets of peace. You will not have to go anywhere, but people themselves will come to you. However, this will only happen when you have the great power of silence. Only when you have this power in your thoughts, words and actions can you become a master bestower of peace. Therefore, now do you understand what you now have to do? Achcha.


(This morning, a brother from Karnataka left his body in Madhuban and the cremation ceremony was held in Abu.) What lesson did you learn today? What lesson was made firm for everyone by the group from Karnataka? Was the lesson of always being ever­ready made firm for you?


Everyone’s bag and baggage of the body, bodily relations, physical possessions, sanskars should constantly remain packed. How do you demonstrate the power to pack up in the posters? You show a packed bag and baggage. This is what you show, is it not? You should not even have to think about doing this, or becoming this, or that something still remains to be done. Be ready in a second! You should be ever­ready for whenever the call of time comes. So, did you make this lesson firm? The line of fortune of that soul was also drawn. Generally, a brahmin priest or a pundit is invited to the final ceremony of a soul. However, they are only that in name, whereas here, so many Brahmins gave a hand. This happened in the greatest pilgrimage place where there are the most elevated Brahmins of all. Everyone co­operated as embodiments of remembrance.


Therefore, that soul has such elevated fortune! Did all of you learn the lesson of always being ever­ready? (Baba asked his widow) What lesson did you learn? You showed your form of success. You showed your practical form of an embodiment of power. Achcha.


To those who are constantly embodiments of the awareness of their own form, their original religion, their elevated actions, and their original land; to those who are constant embodiments of peace and who make others into embodiments of peace with their power of silence; to those who constantly move along in the waves of the Ocean of Peace and who become great and righteous towards other souls; to those who are to become pure charitable souls and embodiments of peace; to such souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.


Avyakt BapDada meeting the kumars group:


You kumars should always remain aware that you are not just kumars, but Brahma Kumars. You are spiritual servers. To be a server means to be one who serves others as a complete embodiment. So, do you constantly experience yourself to be complete with all treasures? By serving whilst considering yourself to be a server, you become an embodiment of success. True service has the speciality of being constantly humble; to remain humble and an instrument.


These two specialities make you into an embodiment of success in service. You kumars are those who make progress on the field of service. However, whilst making progress, if you don’t keep your specialities of being an instrument and remaining humble, then the service you do would be laborious and with very little success. So, you kumars are clever in how to do service, are you not? All of you have a planning intellect. Just as you are clever in running around for service, similarly, become clever in these two specialities. Become special servers with these specialities. Otherwise, although you may be temporarily successful, you will become confused after a short time whilst moving along. “What happened? Why did that happen?” These barriers will be put up.


Therefore, always keep these two specialities in your awareness. By doing this, you will be able to go fast and come first in service. You kumars do have to do service, but you also have to do that whilst staying within the line of the code of conduct. Then you’ll see that success is already achieved.


You kumars have all types of chances. You are given a chance to do service and also make progress through your efforts. Together with that, you also have a chance to help your family make progress. The life of a kumar is a lucky life. A kumar is one who is constantly free. You are not influenced by any type of bondage. Do you experience yourselves to be free to this extent? Even your waste thoughts are a bondage. That bondage can also make your stage descend. Therefore, you are kumars who are free from bondage. All your waste thoughts have ended. Souls who are free from bondage can quickly go ahead. BapDada is proud of you kumars because you are making your life so elevated! Always remain aware that no one else can be as fortunate as you are. Kumars have your own fortune and kumaris have their own fortune.


Kumaris cannot do service freely. Kumars can go anywhere by themselves and do service. What bondage to kumars have? You kumaris are still in bondage in terms of being in this world. You kumars can do all­round service. You kumars are double­light. You do not have any type of burden: neither in your thoughts, nor in your contacts and relationships. You kumars are free from bondage because you have become knowledge­full. Those who are knowledge­full would not go towards anything wasteful. Those who are knowledge­full cannot have waste thoughts.


Your thoughts are powerful and so are your actions. You are master almighty authorities. Do you constantly experience yourselves to be master almighty authorities? Maya definitely tries to spin Kumars around a great deal. Maya likes the kumars and kumaris very much! Just as Baba loves you very much, in the same way, Maya too loves you. Therefore, remain cautious of Maya. Constantly consider yourselves to be combined. Never consider yourself to be alone.


Your Companion is always with you. If you constantly consider yourselves to be combined, Maya cannot come to you.


BapDada meeting groups:


The special attention you now have to pay is of finishing all your waste thoughts.


Do all of you consider yourselves to be powerful souls? To be a powerful soul means to be someone whose account of wastage is finished. Otherwise, you will waste a lot of time in wasteful thoughts, wasteful words and wasteful actions in your Brahmin life. You would then not be able to accumulate as much income as you want. Your account of waste would stop you from becoming powerful. Now finish your account of waste. When you start a new account, you finish your old account. So, now, pay special attention to finishing your account of waste and constantly remain powerful. You master almighty authorities are able to do whatever you want. Just as when someone has physical strength or wealth, he can do whatever he wants. If he has no power, then, even though he may want to do something, he feels desperate to do it. Therefore, what can you master almighty authorities not do? You simply need to pay attention. You need to pay attention repeatedly. If you pay attention at amrit vela and at night, but become careless during the day, what would be the result? Your account of waste will not be finished. Some of your old accounts will still remain. Therefore, constantly pay attention and remember that you are a master almighty authority. You need to check yourself very well, because, even now, Maya is sitting very cleverly to take her turn. She becomes the cleverest of all at the end, because she has to be bidden farewell at the end. Therefore, her cleverness will be displayed. This is why you must constantly pay attention. You do pay attention that you go to class and that you have remembrance, but you need to pay attention repeatedly. The sign of those who constantly pay attention is that they remain free from tension. You are the specially loved ones. You belong to the Father and your star of elevated fortune has now begun to sparkle. Therefore, what else do you need? You have been given just this little work of constantly having to pay attention with your intellect. Achcha.


Blessing: May you remain free from bondage and yogyukt by remaining aware that you belong to the one Father and none other.


It is now time to return home. Therefore, become free from bondage and remain yogyukt. To remain free from bondage means that the dress you wear should be loose, not tight. As soon as you receive the order, you must immediately be able to return. In order to receive the blessing of being free from bondage and yogyukt, always remain aware of your promise: “I belong to the one Father and none other.” This is because, in order to return home and then go to the golden­aged kingdom, you have to shed your old body. Therefore, check whether you have become ever­ready or whether some cords still remain. Check whether your old costume is too tight.


Slogan: When you always have altruistic feelings of mercy and are always free from attachment, your intellect will not be trapped by anything.
