Brahma kumaris murli today in English – 01/08/18 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban

Sweet children, become victorious by having faith in the intellect. Only on the basis of your faith can you become worthy of the kingdom of heaven. The first faith you need to have is that God has become the Teacher and is teaching you.

Question: Although the Father is the Almighty Authority, why does He not do everything through inspiration?

Answer: Baba says: I am the Ocean of Knowledge. I have to come to speak knowledge. If a professor were to sit at home, how would he be able to teach? I have to educate you children and make you worthy and give you the inheritance of heaven. This is why I come and take the support of a body. You children should not have the slightest doubt about this.

Song: The rain of knowledge is for those who are with the Beloved.

Om ShantiThe Father is called the Beloved. The Father would not shower rain of water. This is something to be understood. When someone doesn’t understand anything, it is said: You have a stone intellect. Now, the Lord of Divinity is very well known. The Lord of Divinity makes you divine. Who makes you into stone? Ravan is called the lord who makes you into stone. You belong to the community of Rama. From having stone intellects you continue to become lords of divinity, numberwise. How do the king, queen and subjects all become those with divine intellects? There must definitely be someone who makes them into those with divine intellects. However, some will go into the sun dynasty, some into the moon dynasty, some will become maids and servants and some will become wealthy subjects; it all depends on effort. It is surely the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, who is called the Lord of Divinity. No human being is called the Ocean of Knowledge. This praise is only of the incorporeal Father. He is the Ocean of Knowledge and He therefore definitely needs a body to speak the knowledge. A soul definitely needs a body to perform actions according to the sanskars that he carries. The Father is the incorporeal Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, and He is praised a great deal. The Father of all is incorporeal; He too is just a soul. The soul says through these organs: These are my children. The Father has explained that human beings feed a brahmin priest. Achcha, they invite that soul to come into the brahmin priest and they ask that soul questions. Even if they don’t ask questions, they at least feed the brahmin. When someone’s husband has died, his widow would say: I am feeding the departed soul of my husband. Achcha. Your husband has died, so whom are you going to call? The soul or the body? It is a matter of understanding that you would definitely call the soul; the body is no more. They feed the brahmin priest, that is, the departed soul enters the brahmin and eats the food. What is the proof that that dead person’s soul comes? He definitely comes. The soul comes and speaks. When you ask that soul where a particular thing has been placed, the soul tells you. Therefore, she definitely believes that she is feeding the soul of her husband and that she is bowing down to her husband. She doesn’t see the brahmin at that time. It is as though she sees the name and form of her husband and bows down to him. That name and form (of the husband) has been burnt, but she still remembers that body. Souls enter brahmins. It can be felt that another soul has entered. The soul has come and so they definitely have to have that faith. It has been explained to you children that the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, is incorporeal. He doesn’t have a body of His own, so how can He give the inheritance? Surely this is why He has to take the support of a body. First of all, there definitely has to be the faith that there is the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, and that He has come to give the inheritance through this one. He would not do that through inspiration. He has to come and teach you. He is the Ocean of Knowledge. These matters have to be understood. Those who don’t have the future elevated reward in their fortune won’t be able to understand. This one’s soul says: I am not the Ocean of Knowledge. That Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, says: I am the Ocean of Knowledge, but how could I, the incorporeal One, sit up above and teach through inspiration? Education never takes place in that way. If a professor were to sit at home, would he be able to teach through inspiration? He would definitely have to go to the school. The Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, too, would not teach you while sitting at home. Pictures can’t be explained through inspiration. Shiv Baba has had these pictures made. He Himself then comes and says: I have had these pictures made. This one (Brahma) didn’t even know this. I had them made by giving divine visions to the children. The Father is Karankaravanhar. First of all, the Father explains: I am the Father of you souls. How else would you children receive the inheritance? There definitely are temples. There is also the temple to that One’s soul. All the rest are temples to living beings (embodied souls) because living beings come into birth and death, whereas God doesn’t. Therefore, He has only been shown as incorporeal. The Father says: I teach you Raja Yoga. This Baba also says: I too am studying. Now, there is no question of inspiration or power in this. If someone says that there is some power, how could he receive the inheritance? That Father says: I teach you Raja Yoga. If God speaks, He surely has to enter a body. It isn’t that this one has some power in him. Here, it is a question of studying. I am your Father and I also have to become your Teacher. How could I inspire everyone? I would then have to teach everyone in the same way. However, a kingdom is being established. Some have to become maids and servants and others have to become subjects. If any of you want to ask, you can ask Baba to what extent you have become worthy and whether you will become the sun or moon dynasty or maids and servants. What status would I claim if I were to shed my body at this time? If you come and study with Baba, Baba can tell you that, according to how you study. Would a student in a school ask his teacher: Masterji, with how many marks will I pass? The master would tell you approximately: You have not studied fully and so how can you claim many marks? You yourself can understand if you are not truly studying fully. Each one’s heart would tell the self. The unlimited Father can also tell you. To some, Baba would say: You are a very good flower. You can come in this number in the rosary of victory, according to the present time. This is because, while moving along, some also fall. Many of Baba’s children are no longer here today because they didn’t follow shrimat and are now influenced by lust and body consciousness. Some are influenced by greed or attachment. Maya is such that she even makes you steal. Maya makes you do all of that. It is said: One who steals a straw can also steal a hundred thousand. Some have bad habits. Those who have the habit of lust would run away from here. They wouldn’t be able to remain here. Some would even steal under the influence of greed. Maya makes them steal. Maya enters them. They don’t let go of the first number body consciousness. Baba says: Have the faith that you are a soul. Souls are immortal and bodies are mortal. Become soul conscious. Some become soul conscious in two to three months and some don’t become that in even 25 years. This one course is very long and it continues for 50 to 60 years. If you don’t know the course of the study and the teacher who teaches you, what would you study? By knowing this Baba, you can also know Shiv Baba, the One to whom you have to connect your intellects in yoga. We have to become the masters of the world, and it wouldn’t be a human being who makes us that. Until you have faith, you haven’t understood anything. Even some of those who have been here for 20 to 25 years don’t have full faith; they continue to fluctuate. One minute, they have faith and the next minute, they have doubt. Baba explains: You speak of God, the Father, and so you souls are His children. He is your Father. Everyone should write: Yes, He is our one and only God, the Father. You received your inheritance of the kingdom of heaven from the Father and He would therefore have definitely taught you Raja Yoga. Only the Father would teach you that. Until someone has firm faith in the Father, you can understand that that one is not worthy of heaven. They don’t know the Father, so how could they receive the inheritance? The Father comes to give the inheritance, but some don’t take it because it is not in their fortune. Those whose intellects have faith become victorious whereas those whose intellects have doubt are led to destruction. First of all, know the Father. The incorporeal Father is the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. He comes and teaches you. You receive the inheritance from Him. He has to teach you Raja Yoga. There is no question of inspiration in this. It is impossible that a teacher would teach you from his home. Baba says: I come. There is also a temple built to Me. The incorporeal One cannot do anything alone and this is why He has to take a body. Otherwise, how would I teach you the knowledge of the world cycle that I have? I definitely have to enter a body. The number of children continues to grow; they continue to bring others. The sapling of those who belong to the deity religion will be planted. The sapling is planted of those who come and become Brahmins. The Father of Brahmins is Brahma and the Father of Brahma is Shiv Baba. So, there is the spiritual Father and also the physical father. You are the spiritual children of Shiv Baba and the Brahma soul is also a child of Shiv Baba. Then he is also the father of physical Brahmins. It is through him that the Brahma Kumars and Kumaris emerge. You are the children of Brahma and the grandchildren of Shiv Baba. You receive the inheritance from Him. This too is something to be understood. If any child asks Baba what status he would claim, Baba would tell him. Some bring new ones, don’t even ask! Sometimes, the arrow strikes the target the first time they meet. Children write very good letters: Baba, So-and-so related such good things that I had firm faith that You have now come; I will definitely claim my full inheritance from You. When children who have never even met Baba write such letters, it is understood that they are long-lost and now-found children, that that one is a good sapling and able to understand quickly. When the Shrinagar centre opened, the new children there wrote letters: Now, there is the attraction to meet You, but there are these bondages. They even write their reasons. Only those who belong to the deity religion will come. Only those who are to go to the land of Shri Krishna will come on to the land of Brahma, not the land of brahm (brahmpuri). Some people write, “Brahm Kumaris”, but that is wrong. Brahm is the element of light. How could there be a kumari of the element of light? Prajapita Brahma is well known. The Father of Humanity would exist here, would he not? The children of Prajapita Brahma, the Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, means the Shaktis of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, Shiva. You receive power from Shiv Baba, not from the soul of this one (Brahma). Therefore, you have to remember Shiv Baba. It is by doing this that we will become pure from impure. At this time, all are sinful souls. Everyone takes birth through vice. Some understand these things very quickly whereas others don’t understand these things at all. This knowledge is so wonderful. God has to come to give you the fruit of your devotion. He teaches you children. He says: I am your Father, Teacher and also the Satguru. I have come to take all of you back home. Therefore, He is also called the Liberator. He will not liberate anyone through inspiration. Growth takes place in schools too. However, if you remember the old world, you forget the Father. By gradually forgetting, you will eventually go back to the old world. Then, nothing of knowledge will remain. The deal will be cancelled. That’s it! They take back whatever they gave to the Father; the intellects become completely locked. The Father is the Intellect of the Wise. He explains to you so clearly. You can tell from the eyes and features of those listening to what extent they are imbibing this and whether they will be able to claim a high status or not. Baba quickly understands whether they will understand or not and whether their intellects’ yoga is wandering somewhere. Their pulses are felt. Someone who feels the pulse of others has to be clever. The destination is very high. You will quickly understand whether someone will be able to be uplifted or not; it is numberwise. Although this one (Brahma) is Brahmaputra (big river), he will not praise himself. Saraswati is also clever. In those studies, the examinations take place here. The examination of this study will not take place now. Continue to drink the nectar of knowledge for as long as you live. Achcha.To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

Essence for Dharna:

1. Don’t be influenced by any old habits and thereby perform wrong actions. Renounce the habit of body consciousness and complete the course of remaining soul conscious.

2. Never fluctuate in your faith. For as long as you live, you have to study and teach others.

Blessing: May you play an all-round part, the same as the Father, with your flying stage as a ruler of the globe.

Just as the Father is an all-round actor – He can be the Friend and also the Father, in the same way, those with a flying stage will be able to play their parts perfectly any time there is a need for any type of service. This is called being an all-round flying bird. They would be free from bondage to such an extent that they would go to wherever there is service to be done. They will be successful in every type of service. They are called rulers of the globe, all-round actors.

Slogan: Be faithful and keep the specialities of one another in your awareness and the gathering will then be united.

Brahma Kumaris murli today in English – 31/07/18 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban

Sweet children, take shrimat from Shiv Baba at every step. Give all your news to the Father through Brahma.

Question: Why is it that, while being children of the one Father, some children have intellects filled with love whereas others have intellects with no love?

Answer: The children who maintain full connection with BapDada, those whose intellects have no doubt about any aspect and who relate their true charts to Shiv Baba through Brahma are the ones with loving intellects. However, if you sulk with Brahma or your Brahmin teacher, due to any reason, and do not write to Baba, because you think that you have no connection with Brahma and that you only have to remember Shiv Baba, it means that Maya has caught hold of your intellect. Such ones are those who have intellects with no love.

Song: My heart says thanks to the One who has given me support!

Om ShantiThe Father also gives thanks to the children. The Father thanks the children who are His helpers and also praises them. You children have now come to know that the unlimited Father has come. The Father enters the impure world. They sing: O Purifier, come! When the Purifier does come, He would surely come to establish the pure world of heaven, in which very few human beings live. Praise is sung of the pure world. There is no one who calls out in the pure world. It is only in this impure world that people call out. Devotees consider themselves to be impure. Truly, it is only in Bharat that there was the pure kingdom of deities. There was purity in Bharat. They were very wealthy and happy. Now, they are unhappy. Shiv Baba sits in the body of Brahma and explains. Therefore, you also have to remember the body of Brahma. If children go far away, for instance, if you go back to your home town, you should write a letter to your unlimited Father, who is also your Bridegroom. You have to write to Shiv Baba through Brahma. Shiv Baba cannot hear without Brahma. You have to remember Shiv Baba through Brahma. There are some children who think that they do remember Shiv Baba, that they have no connection with the sakar form. Nevertheless, since Shiv Baba is here, you definitely have to write a letter to Baba through this one. You have to give your news to Shiv Baba through Brahma. It is sung that there are those who have loving intellects at the time of destruction and there are those who have no love in their intellects at the time of destruction. Love for whom? For Shiv Baba through Brahma. There are also some who have such foolish intellects that they say they remember Shiv Baba anyway. Shiv Baba says that by remembering Him your boat will go across; but where is He? He is definitely here in this one’s body. He is teaching through this one. How would you write a letter to the incorporeal One? Brides write letters to their bridegrooms and bridegrooms write letters to their brides. From the beginning of the golden age to the end of the iron age, human beings have been writing letters to human beings. Souls now meet the Supreme Soul and so they write letters to Him. They talk to the incorporeal Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. Therefore, they have to stay in connection through Brahma. Only when you write a letter to Shiv Baba through Brahma would Shiv Baba understand that you truly are remembering Him. Maya catches hold of the intellects of some so that they come into body consciousness and they don’t even write a letter; they forget. Now, at the time of destruction, none of their intellects has love whereas the Pandavas intellects have love. Those people think that the God of the Gita is Shri Krishna. Achcha, even if it were Shri Krishna, you would still have to write to him. You also have to write to Shiv Baba. You definitely have to take shrimat. Some say that they are remembering Shiv Baba, but they cannot receive advice without the corporeal Brahma. Very good and first-class children write that their yoga is with Shiv Baba and that they will continue to help Him. However, you cannot claim your inheritance from the Grandfather except through Father Brahma. You have to take advice at every step. Such news comes to Baba. They sulk with Brahma or their Brahmin teacher and Maya completely turns their faces away. You should understand that you have to take shrimat from Shiv Baba at every step and ask Baba what you should do under those circumstances. Baba always asks you children whether you are happy and content. One is physical illness and the other is spiritual illness. Some never write to tell Baba that they are happy, that Maya is not attacking them. Achcha, although He knows everything, you still have to take directions from Him: Am I right or am I wrong in this aspect? When you don’t have accurate yoga, you do wrong. The children who have loving intellects at the time of destruction have to come to the Father. The Father is sitting here. There are many whose intellects have no love at the time of destruction, and so they become confused and start performing wrong actions. You cannot carry on doing anything without taking shrimat. They cannot reach their destination on their own without a guide. How can anyone go there if they don’t know the way? A guide’s hand is definitely needed. One also needs support when learning to swim. Baba continues to caution you children: Even if you have doubt about any aspect, at least stay in connection with this one. After all, it is through this one that you receive directions from Shiv Baba. Baba has explained: This chariot, that is, this throne, has especially been fixed for the Immortal Image. Baba says: I take the support of this one’s chariot, that is, his throne. Otherwise, I could enter anyone at any time and get the service done that I want done. Baba has explained: If someone worships Hanuman, then I grant him a vision of that. I give him the reward of his devotion. If I grant him a vision of Hanuman, his devotion would be totally for that one; he would hold on to only him. Baba has selected a very experienced chariot. He was a jewel merchant. This is the business of the imperishable jewels of knowledge. Only when I enter this chariot every cycle can I carry out this task. He creates Brahmins through Brahma, just as Christians are created through Christ. The names are very similar. Therefore, I have to enter the chariot of Brahma. I sit here and tell you the story of this one’s births. The first birth is that of Shri Krishna. I come at the end of the last of his many births. I tell you all of these things accurately. If anyone asks, tell them: Brahma is definitely needed first, because only then can Brahmins be created through him. The physical Father of Humanity is needed. The Father of Humanity cannot exist in the subtle region. Brahma, the Father of Humanity, is needed here. I only come in Bharat when it is the time of extreme darkness. The devotion of half the cycle is now ending. They sing: O Purifier, come! If annihilation were to take place, the world couldn’t become pure. The word ‘annihilation’ is wrong. I come when people have become very unhappy and impure. The pure world is the golden and silver ages and the impure world is the copper and iron ages. Billions of human beings now exist here. That many will not be needed in the golden age. They have shown that missiles emerged from someone’s stomach, through which they destroyed their own clan. People have sat and made up such stories. Nothing emerges from anyone’s stomach. This is the work of the intellect. Just see how much happiness people now have through science! Previously, there was no gas or electricity etc. Baba is experienced. Baba says: I enter an old body. The body of Krishna is not old. Krishna is not impure. People call out: O Purifier, come! Therefore, He surely has to enter the impure world and an impure body. There are no pure bodies in the impure world. Here, souls are tamopradhan and their bodies are also tamopradhan. It is said: The golden age and the silver age. First, there is the golden age. There, the souls and the bodies are both pure. Later, souls become impure. I come and make them viceless. Maya is such that she pulls the ears of even good, first-class children. They then become upset with a Brahmin teacher or with Brahma and develop doubt and leave. Maya turns their faces away. From having loving intellects, they become those with no love in their intellects. Then they stop studying with Shiv Baba. Some study, but they are unable to imbibe knowledge completely. Therefore, Baba says: It doesn’t matter. Simply make two things firm. You have to remember Baba. Your intellects should now be here as well as up there (in the home). There is the example of the genie. He said: Give me work to do, otherwise, I will eat you. Baba says: I give you the work of remembering Me. If you do not remember Me, Maya will eat you alive. You have to make time for remembrance. First of all, make a little time and your practice will then increase. Baba says: Remain silent and simply continue to remember Me. You know Baba is up there as well as here. We have to return to Baba. You now understand that Baba has come in this one’s body. If you do not have remembrance, Maya will eat you alive. There are many stories that have been made up. Previously, you were senseless. Baba now explains: When I go back, you then become the masters of the world. I talk to you souls. It is the soul in the body that passes exams. The Father now says: Become soul conscious! While living at home with your family, consider yourself to be a bodiless soul. The more you remember the Father, the more you will benefit. This is called yoga. Actually, it is remembrance – the love of you souls for the Father. You remember Him. A lover and beloved love each other; they have love for the body. Both the lover and the beloved are bodily beings. It is as though the beloved is standing in front of the lover. The beloved then sees the lover. You are now lovers of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul. There is only the one Beloved and all the souls are lovers. That incorporeal Father sits here and gives you directions through this corporeal one. You can neither see a soul nor the Supreme Soul. Yes, sometimes, some are able to have a vision of a soul. Human beings are not able to understand anything. Baba grants them a vision of light because they have faith in that. It was said: The light is so bright that I cannot tolerate it any more. Stop it! The eyes become red. Baba explains: I am a star. Just as a firefly sparkles, in the same way, the soul comes out of the body like a star. (Example of Vivekananda). Whomever people have devotion for, I grant them a vision accordingly. Baba sits and explains: This is your devotion that has continued. So I grant you a vision accordingly. As is a soul, so the Supreme Soul, but He is the Ocean of Knowledge. A soul is a living being. All the sanskars are within the soul. The Father also has the sanskars of carrying out the tasks of creation,destruction and sustenance. He is Trimurti. No one knows Shiv Baba and that is why they have forgotten to put Shiva, the Creator, above the Trimurti. In fact, Trimurti Shiva is the God of the Gita, but people say, “Trimurti Brahma”. However, there also has to be the Creator of Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar. The names of Brahma and Shiv Baba are separate. Otherwise, whom do you call the Creator? No one is able to understand this. Baba comes and explains to you children. You have loving intellects. Those whose intellects have no love become Kauravas. Although they come here, their status becomes much lower. Whatever they have accumulated is then finished and they receive a low status among the subjects. Just look what you can become through this study at this present time! Baba says: Children, if you want to become deities, you have to renounce bad things like poison. Only the one Father is the true Satguru who can take you into liberation and liberation-in-life. Everyone has to go back at the same time. It is not that someone can leave and go away in between. They all have to play their full parts. Then, at the end, they all definitely have to return home like a swarm of insects. This is also mentioned in the Gita. However, because it says that they are the versions of God Krishna, the importance of the Gita has been lost. How would you go to the land of liberation if the Father didn’t come? Later, you each come at your own time to play your parts. This is detailed explanation. However, in a nutshell, He says: Remember Me! That’s all! God is one and all the rest are His children. You have now become trikaldarshi. Achcha.To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

Essence for Dharna:

1. In order to remain constantly happy and content, take advice from the Father at every step. Remember Shiv Baba through Brahma and also continue to give Him your news.

2. Never develop doubt about any aspect. Don’t sulk with your Brahmin teacher or Father Brahma and thereby stop studying. Keep your intellect constantly full of love.

Blessing: May you be a master satguru and make your words invaluable by doubly underlining them.

The words of you children have to be such that those who listen to you become chatrak birds (thirsty to listen). They want you say something so that they can listen to you; these are said to be invaluable elevated versions. When you keep speaking whatever you want, whenever you want – such words would not be said to be elevated versions. You are master satgurus, the children of the Satguru and so let each and every word of yours be an elevated version. At any time, wherever you may be, only speak words that are necessary, yuktiyukt and beneficial for the self and other souls. Doubly underline the words you speak.

Slogan: Become a jewel of pure and positive thoughts for all and continue to enlighten the world with your rays.

Essence:Sweet children, promise that you will not sleep peacefully until the golden-aged self-sovereignty is established, that you will become pure and enable others to become pure.

Question: Which death in the drama is the system of the confluence age?

Answer: Very good children who make effort to become part of the rosary of victory are amazed by the knowledge. They listen to it, they speak about it and then run away, that is, they die. It is as though this type of death has become a system of the confluence age. When you don’t follow shrimat, Maya defeats you. After belonging to the Father, if you let go of His hand, it means you have died. Your fortune is then crossed out.

Song: I have come to Your doorstep having taken an oath.

Om shanti. Sweetest children who have died alive, who have sacrificed themselves while alive, heard this song. Not all of them have sacrificed themselves. They all die alive, numberwise, according to the effort they make. When someone goes into the lap of someone else, that is, when someone is adopted, he leaves one family and becomes a member of another family. You children know that you have died to the devilish family and have now become part of God’s family. God has come and adopted you. No one on the path of ignorance is adopted by God. They are adopted by religious gurus. There are Vallbhacharis who hand over the children to Shri Krishna in the Shri Krishna Temple. However, those images are non-living. Therefore, it is the brahmin priests who takes them in their laps to make them into Vaishnavs. There are many who adopt children. You children know that they are adopted in the name of those who have been and gone. Some are adopted by Christ and others are adopted by Abraham. Only you children know when they existed in the past and when they will come again. You have now died alive. You have to stay in remembrance of the one Father. Physical children are adopted and when their father dies the children remain. Here, you are adopted by such a Father that He takes you from the land of death to the land of immortality, that is, from degradation into salvation. There is only the one Bestower of Salvation for human beings. It isn’t that only you receive salvation. Everyone definitely receives salvation but, according to the drama, some receive satopradhan salvation, some sato, some rajo, and others receive tamo salvation. Although they come at the time of the tamo stage, they don’t experience sorrow as soon as they come. They definitely have to experience happiness first. At the end, everyone experiences sorrow. The Father says: I alone am the Bestower of Salvation, the Purifier. When souls come down, they first experience happiness and then sorrow. You too first come into the satopradhan stage, numberwise, according to the efforts you make, and you then go through the sato, rajo and tamo stages. You too receive salvation, numberwise. Eight beads are considered to be the main ones. All of you are Draupadis. You now belong to the Father and so you must never leave the Father. However, if you don’t remember Him according to shrimat, Maya will make you let go of His hand. Some came and were adopted and continued to follow this path in the beginning. Very good sweet children who were placed in the third and fourth number of the rosary of victory, also became those who were amazed and then ran away. This is a custom or system of the confluence age. There continues to be those who are amazed by the knowledge as they listen to it, who speak about it and then die. It would be said that they were meant to die in that way in the drama. Having belonged to the Father, if you then let go of His hand it means you have died. Although they are in this world, they have left this place while alive and gone into the devilish world. There has to be some reason, even though you would say that it is the drama. However, because of not following shrimat, they are defeated by Maya; their fortune is crossed out. After belonging to God, there is a war with Maya. There wasn’t a war between the deities and devils. Maya is a devil and gains victory. Achcha. Children have written asking what to do on the festival of Raksha Bandhan. Preparations are made for all the festivals. In advance of the festival of Raksha Bandhan, you go and tie a rakhi on people. You should have the full significance of this in your intellects. In earlier days, brahmin priests would tie the rakhis. Now they have a system where a sister ties a rakhi on her brother’s wrist. Originally, those brahmins used to tie the rakhi because the brahmin caste is remembered as the highest and the purest. In fact, brahmins are even higher than sannyasis, but, according to the drama, sannyasis have become higher at this time. Earlier, brahmins used to tie rakhis, and they would then untie the rakhis at Janamashtami. Just as they have said that Draupadi left her hair loose, rishis too always keep their locks (hair) undone. A married woman would always have her hair tied. Draupadi said she would keep her hair loose until they received their kingdom back, that she would not tie her hair. The meaning of that has now been explained to you children. Until we claim our self-sovereignty, we will not sleep peacefully. It is said that it is a sin to rest. Internally, you have the enthusiasm that there can not be happiness until you claim your self-sovereignty. You have to receive happiness in the future and, for that, you have to make effort now. You now know that Raksha Bandhan means you make a promise to remain pure. Rakhi means it is a matter of making a promise. When did these festivals start? Why did they start? Who emerged to give the advice of Raksha Bandhan? One person gives this advice and then his name is glorified. Therefore, this is a symbol of purity. A sister is a kumari. The kumaris tie them. We also go and tie them on householders. Kumars are kumars. A sister ties a rakhi on her brother, whether he is a kumar or married. It would be very difficult for a married person to remain pure. God says: Become pure in this final birth, and yet they don’t become pure. A sister should tie a rakhi on a kumar brother and ask him to promise: I will never drink poison. Those who are already indulging in vice will not let go of vice. They don’t obey God’s orders. Therefore, this system of kumars and kumaris continues. You now understand that this festival belongs to the confluence age. In the golden age, all are pure. There is no need to tie rakhis there. It isn’t that this system has continued from the golden age. All the festivals generally refer to the confluence age. The festival of Lakshmi and Narayan is also celebrated at this time, but it has no importance. They celebrate the birth of Krishna but, first of all, tell us who made Krishna like that? The helpless people don’t know this. This should also be written clearly. All the festivals are of this time. Such things don’t exist in the golden age. They begin after some time in the copper age. The festival of Deepmala that people celebrate here is not celebrated in the same way in the golden age. The celebration here has a different meaning. One has to understand the importance of the time of that festival. It has been explained to you children that that festival is of this time when there is the birth of Shiva. After the birth of Shiva, there is the Rakhi festival. You make a promise to remain pure, that you will remain pure in this final birth in order to make Bharat, the world, pure. This Raksha Bandhan has great significance for you children. You make a promise that you will never become impure. You are now becoming pure and so only you pure kumaris have a right to tie rakhis. You have to tie rakhis on the brothers for them to remain always pure, and you also have to make the householders promise that they will remain pure. They do say: Purifier, come! So, you are inspiring them to do what has been remembered: to become pure from impure. The Father comes and makes you make this promise. After Shiva Jayanti, there is Raksha Bandhan. Holi is also connected with knowledge. Holi and Dhuriya (day after Holi when coloured water is sprayed) are both of this time. Holi means to become pure and Dhuriya means to imbibe knowledge. Those people then make so many things of stones, clay and cowdung etc. and do all sorts of things. Therefore, the Purifier Father, Himself, comes and explains to you children. Among those who die alive, there are real children and stepchildren. The Father would definitely have the account of those who are real children. A father would surely know all about the business activities and property etc. of his children. Real children are those who have total love for the Father. Real children are numberwise and stepchildren are also numberwise; some are worthy and others are unworthy. The birth of Shiva is at the confluence age. The confluence age has to be given a time. Just as they have a leap month, in the same way there is also the leapcentury of 100 years. The leap century is a very high century. It is said: The 20th Century. Here, too, this century, when the Father comes, is called the centuryof the confluence. It takes time for upheaval to take place. Deepmala is also of this time. You children know that, after the birth of Shiva, there is the matter of purity. There has been quarrelling because of purity from the beginning. Together with purity, Holi and Dhuriya are connected with knowledge and yoga. You also need to remember the Father very well. The Dhuriya of knowledge also continues. There will continue to be the rain of knowledge on you. The quarrelling is because of purity. Everyone asks: Who has come and said that you have to remain pure while living at home? Sannyasis themselves leave their homes and families. There is the story of King Gopichanda. He was asked: Why did you renounce the fortune of your kingdom? He replied: In order to meet God. People sing very good devotional songs based on this. Here, you have to live at home with your family and remain pure. All the conflict is because of purity. Raksha Bandhan is the memorial of the festival to become pure and make others pure. Look, here, even little children have visions. What devotion would little children have performed? Baba gave instant visions to everyone, and so they thought there was magic here. This is called the divine activities of Shiv Baba. They would disappear while just sitting somewhere. This too is said to be the drama. They would just look at one another and go into trance. All of these are the divine activities of the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, not of Krishna. They have mentioned Krishna’s name and caused a lot of defamation. Look what they have written in the Bhagawad, that Shri Krishna, the prince of the golden age, stole the clothes of the gopies and did this and that. Such activities should not be remembered. People of the world think that Krishna really did do all of that. Then they say that a soul entered the body of Krishna and related knowledge. However, that is not possible; he was a well-known prince. They also show the chariot. They show Krishna in the chariot. Would someone run a school sitting in a horse carriage? This is the school of Raja Yoga. There is such a vast difference between the battlefield they have shown and this war of yours! This is the war to conquer Maya. You children have to explain Raksha Bandhan. Raksha Bandhan means the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul, Himself, has come to make impure ones pure. You, who are remembered, are Brahma Kumaris. A kumari is one who uplifts 21 generations. This is an aspect of the confluence age. These festivals do not continue in the golden age. After Raksha Bandhan, there is the birth of Krishna because the first birth in the golden age is that of Shri Krishna. There is his kingdom. He promises at this time to go into the clan of Shri Krishna. This is Raja Yoga. You are becoming Narayan from an ordinary man. There is no biography of Lakshmi and Narayan. The Father has explained: The biography of Radhe and Krishna is the biography of Lakshmi and Narayan. People celebrate the birthday of Krishna. OK, so what about the birth of Narayan? There must be a reason. They have shown Rama of the silver age as more elevated than Krishna. One (Krishna) is 16 celestial degrees and the other one is 14 degrees. They have mixed up the whole play. All the importance is of this time. Don’t think that Deepmala begins in the golden age. The golden age is the pure world. All souls are awakened. All the festivals refer to this time. You now know the biography of everyone. Shiv Baba Himself comes and tells you children to become pure. You souls have become dirty. Sannyasis say that souls are immune to the effect of action. This is why many people say that there is nothing wrong with eating eggs, fish, etc. They all have their own customs and systems. Earlier, human beings were sacrificed to Kali. Neither Shiva nor Shankar would be called ugly. Yes, the two forms of Brahma and Vishnu become ugly and beautiful. The Father sits here and explains all of this. Achcha.

To the sweetest, beloved, long-lost and now-found children, love, remembrance and good morning from the Mother, the Father, BapDada. The spiritual Father says namaste to the spiritual children.

Essence for dharna:

1. Have total love for the Father and become real children. Give your full news to the Father. Never become unworthy.

2. Keep the accurate meaning of Raksha Bandhan in your intellect and definitely become pure. Never be defeated by Maya. With the power of purity, promise to claim your self-sovereignty.

Blessing: May you be a highest being following the highest code of conduct and maintain spirituality and an entertaining nature.

Some children joke and laugh a lot and consider that to be an entertaining nature. Generally, the virtue of being entertaining is considered to be good, but this is good when it is according to the persons, time, gathering, place and the atmosphere. If, out of all of these things, even one thing is not right, then that form of being entertaining would be considered to be wasteful; the certificate you receive would be that you make people laugh a lot, but that you also speak too much. So, a laughing and joking nature considered to be good is that in which there is spirituality and also benefit for that soul. Words should be within the boundary and you would then be said to be a highest being following the highest code of conduct.

Slogan: In order to remain constantly healthy, increase the power of the soul.

Brahma Kumaris murli today in English – 29/07/18 Madhuban Avyakt BapDada Om Shanti 25/12/83

The days of the confluence age are days for celebrating in the greatest pleasure of all.

Today, the greatest Father is giving congratulations for the greatest day to the greatest children of all. Baba is giving greetings for Christmas to all the children who are even sweeter than raisins (kismis). The greatest days are the days of the confluence age. Bad days have now ended and it is now the day of happiness of the confluence age, to be celebrated with enthusiasm. This is the day when the Seed of the tree tells the story of the kalpa tree. On this great day of the confluence age, sparkling, elevated Brahmin souls sparkle at the foundation of the kalpa tree and make the whole tree sparkle. The lucky and lovely stars make the tree extremely beautiful. The living sparkling stars are the decoration of the tree. Sparkling white and light angels make the tree sparkle. People decorate a Christmas tree for this day as a memorial of this. During this great day of the confluence age, of celebrating the festival with enthusiasm, you change night into day; you transform darkness into light. The Brahmin family meets on this great day and eats food for the soul, Brahma Bhojan, with a lot of love. This is why, as a memorial, families all get together and eat, drink and celebrate with pleasure. Out of the whole cycle, the day and the age to celebrate with pleasure is the confluence age, and you can celebrate with pleasure to your heart’s content, as much as you want, at this confluence age. The intoxication of the nectar of knowledge makes you become absorbed in love. People especially experience this spiritual intoxication on a great day. At the brahm-muhurat of the confluence age, at amrit vela, you opened your eyes to your elevated birth and what did you receive? How many gifts did you receive? You opened your eyes and you saw the old Baba. You saw the white Baba. You also saw the red in the white, did you not? Whom did you see? You saw the Father who brings peace. How many gifts did He give you? He gave you so many gifts that you will continue to be sustained by those gifts for birth after birth. You won’t have to buy anything. The biggest gift of all that He gave you was the bracelet of love, which is even more valuable than diamonds. He gave you the bracelet of God’s magic. With this, you can attain whatever you want, whenever you want, as soon as you have the thought and you invoke it. There is nothing lacking in the treasure store of Brahmins. All of you children received such a gift as soon as you opened your eyes. All of you have received it, have you not? Was anyone left out? This is the importance of the great day. The signs of the memorial of the first Brahmins have continued through to the last religion, because all of you elevated Brahmin souls are the foundation of the whole tree. You are the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of all souls. All of them are your branches. All of you very great Brahmins are the foundation of the tree. This is why, even today, souls of all religions celebrate in one form or another the memorial of you souls and the customs and systems of your confluence age. You are such worthy-of-worship souls from time immemorial. In comparison to the Supreme Soul, you are doubly worthy-of-worship. You are celebrating the days of pleasure whilst considering yourselves to be the greatest and most elevated of all, are you not? The days of celebration are so few. Bearing in mind the cycle, celebrate just the one great day a great deal. Dance in happiness! Eat Brahma Bhojan and sing songs of happiness. Do you have any other worries? What do carefree emperors do all day long? They celebrate in pleasure, do they not? Celebrate with pleasure of the mind. Don’t celebrate the pleasure of the limited day. Celebrate the unlimited day and the pleasure of remaining free from sorrow in an unlimited way. Do you understand? Why have you come to the Brahmin world? To celebrate in pleasure. Achcha.Special congratulations to all the double-foreign children everywhere for celebrating in pleasure the greatest day of all. BapDada has especially come to give you the gift of a meeting. There are very few of you now and yet you have to sit far away. When expansion takes place, everything will be just for the sake of having a glimpse. At that time, there won’t be any chance of having a personal meeting. You will just have a glimpse. Receiving drishti will be changed into simply having a glimpse. The drishti that you receive at the end will be changed on the path of devotion and they will simply use the word “darshan” (glimpse). What is the special intoxication that double foreigners have? There is a song: The high walls of the world… There are the barriers of high walls, big oceans and countries of the world. So, you have come, having crossed the high barriers of countries, the barriers of religion, the barriers of knowledge, the barriers of beliefs and the barriers of customs and systems. Even the people from Bharat meet Baba. Even the people of Bharat have received the inheritance, but they are in the same country. They haven’t had to cross such big barriers. They have simply crossed the barrier of devotion. However, the double-foreign children have crossed many types of high barrier and this is why they have double intoxication. You have passed through the many types of curtains of the world. Therefore, double love and remembrance to the children who have passed through them. You have made that effort, but the Father’s love has made you forget the effort. Achcha.To all the most elevated, worthy-of-worship souls, to all the greatest of all children who give light and might to everyone, to those who constantly celebrate in spiritual pleasure in the world of pleasure, to those who maintain enthusiasm and celebrate every day as a festival, to those who attain the unlimited gift of God, to the elevated sparkling stars of the kalpa tree, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.Meeting a UK group:Do all of you consider yourselves to be long-lost and now-found ones? Baba selected you from all over with so much love and put you in the bouquet. By becoming part of the bouquet all of you have become spiritual roses. “Spiritual roses” mean those who give everlasting fragrance. Do you consider yourselves to be this? All of you have the intoxication of the Father loving you, do you not? Each of you would say that no one else is as loving to the Father as you are. Just as there is no one else as loving as the Father, so too, you children would also say the same because the Father has special love for each one of you according to your speciality. Although you are numberwise, all of you are especially loved. Only the Father and you know the value of you children; no one else can know it. All others consider you to be ordinary. However, you, whom the Father has made belong to Him, are a selected few out of millions and a handful out of that selected few. As soon as you belonged to the Father, you received all attainments. The Father gave all of you the keys to all treasures. He didn’t keep them for Himself. He has so many keys that He gave them to all of you. This master key is such that you can use it for any treasure and attain that treasure. You don’t have to make any effort. London is, in any case, the place where there’s a monarchy. You are not those who are going to become subjects. All of you are those who will move forward in service. Where there is attainment, you cannot stay without doing service. To do less service means you have less attainment. Those who are embodiments of attainment cannot stay without doing service. Look, all of you left this country and went abroad, yet the Father found you abroad and made you belong to Him. No matter how far away you ran, the Father still caught you. Achcha.Meeting a group from Australia:All of you are Mahavirs, are you not? “A Mahavir group” means those who bid farewell to Maya for all time. Have you celebrated such a ceremony? BapDada always says that Australia is the place of the brave, courageous ones. So, the residents of Australia are those who bid farewell to Maya for all time, because the Father is with you and Maya cannot come to you while you are in the Father’s company. The Father is always with you and so you have bidden farewell to Maya. Those who bade farewell are constant jewels of contentment. You are content with yourselves, you are content with service and you are content with your connections. You are content with everything. Such jewels of contentment are constantly seated on the heart throne. Those who are seated on the throne are always happy and intoxicated. BapDada is looking at the jewels of contentment, the Mahavir group, which is also a group of conquerors of Maya. All of you are, visibly, experienced souls. You are also servers. Just as London has a special part in the speciality of service, Australia too has a special part. BapDada gives the residents of Australia the certificate of those who are always ever ready for service and who are going to expand service. Achcha.At the time of farewell:All of you are still awake. There is always a jagran (staying awake through the night for special deities) taking place for all of you somewhere or other. Since your devotees stay awake for you, what is the big deal if you stay awake now? Everything begins at the confluence age. Whatever you do in knowledge, those people do in devotion. The foundation of devotion is also laid at the confluence age. Those are feelings and this is knowledge. All of you are going on service. It isn’t that you are going back home. To go means to bring back the proof of service. Don’t come back empty-handed. At least a bouquet is given as a present! So, bring a bouquet or a buttonhole. The question of how many you have prepared in a year also has to be added to the form. Don’t give a certificate a second time to those who have come empty-handed. In one year, at least prepare one person and bring him back with you. Achcha.Avyakt Elevated Versions – Make the atmosphere powerful through your attitudeThe fastest service of all is to spread vibrations through your attitude. Your attitude is even faster than the fastest rocket. An atmosphere can be transformed through your attitude. You can reach wherever you want and as many souls as you want with your attitude while sitting here. With your attitude you can transform your vision and the world. Simply let there be good wishes and pure feelings in your attitude for everyone. For world benefit, let your attitude, vision and stage always be unlimited. In your attitude, let there not be the slightest negative or wasteful feelings for anyone. It is a different matter to make a negative situation positive, but those who have a negative attitude themselves are not able to change the negative of others into positive.At the beginning of establishment, they were not short of facilities, but they were all in a furnace of the unlimited attitude of disinterest. The 14 years of tapasya that they did was in an atmosphere of an attitude of unlimited disinterest. BapDada has now given many facilities, there is no shortage of facilities, but you have to have an attitude of disinterest while having everything. Without the atmosphere of an attitude of disinterest, souls cannot be happy, peaceful or free from distress. So, use all the necessary facilities, but as much as possible, use them with an attitude of disinterest from your heart, not while being influenced by the facilities. Now create an atmosphere of spiritual endeavour in all directions. According to the closeness of time, true tapasya and spiritual endeavour is now unlimited disinterest.In the world, at present, on the one hand, there is the fire of corruption and on the other hand, there is a need for the powerful yoga of you children, that is, the need for the fire of love in the volcanic form. The volcanic fire will finish the fire of corruption and give co-operation to all souls. Let the fire of your deep love be volcanic, that is, let it be powerful yoga, let there be benevolent feelings in your attitude for all and then this fire of love will finish that fire. On the other side, it will give souls God’s message and the experience of the form of coolness. For this, underline even more the purity in your vision and attitude. However, the main foundation for this is to become embodiments of knowledge and power and to make your thoughts pure. Then, with your vibrations, attitude and pure feelings, the Maya of others will easily go away. If you get caught up in “Why?” and “What?” then, neither will your Maya go nor will the Maya of others go away.Now, you children have to carry out two types of tasks. One is to make souls worthy (capable) and yogi and secondly, you have to prepare the field. For this, along with words, you especially need to transform your attitude at a fast speed because the atmosphere will be created through your attitude and the atmosphere will then influence matter – for only then will it be ready. Be engaged in serving with your words and your attitude simultaneously. Experience lightness in your words, deeds and attitude. Let it not be that you say that you are light but that others do not understand you or recognise you. If they do not recognise you, then, with your own will power, you can give your recognition to them. Become liked by everyone at least 95%. Let your actions and attitude transform them. For this, you simply need to imbibe the power of tolerance. If you have elevated wishes and elevated feelings in your attitude, then with a second’s thought and drishti, and with a smile from your heart, you can give anyone a lot in just a second. Give a gift to anyone who comes, let them not go away empty-handed.See, listen to and think about every person and every situation with a positive attitude and there will never be any force or anger. You are master oceans of love and so there cannot be any other intentions – even slightly – in your eyes, features, attitude and drishti. So, no matter what happens, even if the whole world gets angry with you, you master oceans of love, do not be concerned about the world. Become carefree emperors and a powerful atmosphere will then be created through your elevated attitude. Nowadays, with the facilities of science, they are able to transform rough material into something very beautiful. So, let your elevated attitude transform the negative, that is, the wasteful, into positive. Let your mind and intellect become such that nothing negative can touch them and transformation happens in a second. Achcha.
