01/10/24 Morning Murli Om Shanti BapDada Madhuban
Essence:
Sweet
children, practise being soul conscious. It is only by practising this that you
will be able to become pure and charitable souls.
Question:
Due to having
the knowledge of what one thing do you children remain constantly cheerful?
Answer:
You have
received the knowledge that this is a wonderful play that is being created. Each
actor's imperishable part is fixed within it. Each one is playing his own part
and because of knowing this you remain constantly cheerful.
Question:
What one art
does the Father have which no one else has?
Answer:
The Father alone has the art of making you soul conscious because He Himself is
constantly soul conscious. He is the Supreme. No human being can have this art.
Om shanti.
The Father
sits here and explains to you spiritual children, that is, to you souls. You
have to consider yourselves to be souls, do you not? The Father has explained to
you children: First of all, practise being souls, not bodies. Only when you
consider yourselves to be souls will you remember the Supreme Father. If you
don't consider yourselves to be souls, then, surely, only worldly relatives and
business etc. would be remembered. This is why you first have to have the
practice: I am a soul. There will then be remembrance of the spiritual Father.
The Father gives you the teachings: Do not consider yourselves to be bodies.
Only once in the whole cycle does the Father give you this knowledge. You will
then receive this explanation again after 5000 years. If you consider yourselves
to be souls, you will also remember the Father. For half a cycle you have
considered yourselves to be bodies. You now have to consider yourselves to be
souls. Just as you are souls, I too am a soul. However, I am the Supreme. I am
just a soul, and so I do not remember any bodily beings. This Dada is a bodily
being whereas that Father is incorporeal. This Prajapita Brahma is a corporeal
being. Shiv Baba's real name is Shiva. He is just a soul; it is just that He is
the Highest on High, that is, He is the Supreme Soul. I only come at this time
and enter this body. He can never become body conscious. It is corporeal human
beings who become body conscious. He is constantly incorporeal. He has to come
and inspire you to have this practice. He says: Consider yourselves to be souls.
Sit and learn the lesson: "I am a soul, I am a soul." “I, this soul, am a child
of Shiv Baba.” Practice is needed for everything. The Father is not explaining
anything new to you. When you firmly consider yourselves to be souls, you will
also have firm remembrance of the Father. If you are body conscious, you won't
be able to remember the Father. For half a cycle, you have arrogance of the
body. I now teach you to consider yourselves to be souls. No one in the golden
age teaches you to consider yourselves to be souls. Names are always given to
bodies. Otherwise, what would you call one another? The inheritance you received
from the Father here is received as a reward there. However, you would still
call one another by your names. Shri Krishna too is the name of a body.
Activities cannot continue without names. It isn't that anyone there would say:
Consider yourself to be a soul. There, everyone remains soul conscious. You are
inspired to practise this at this time because a lot of sin has accumulated.
Sins have gradually accumulated little by little and you have now become full
sinful souls. Whatever you have been doing for half of this cycle has to end.
Gradually, that will continue to decrease. In the golden age, you are
satopradhan. In the silver age, you become sato. It is now that you receive the
inheritance. Only by considering yourselves to be souls and remembering the
Father do you receive the inheritance. It is at this time that the Father gives
you the teachings to become soul conscious. You don't receive these teachings in
the golden age. Each one continues to move along as per his or her own name.
Here, each one of you has to become a pure and charitable soul from a sinful
soul with the power of yoga. Neither is there any need for this knowledge in the
golden age nor do you carry these teachings there. You neither carry this
knowledge nor this yoga there. It is only at this time that you have to become
pure from sinful. Then, your degrees gradually decrease, just as the degrees of
the moon decrease until there is just a line left. So, do not be confused about
this. If you don't understand something, you can ask. First of all, have the
firm faith that you are souls. You souls have now become tamopradhan. At first,
you were satopradhan and then, day by day, your degrees continued to decrease.
When you don't make it firm that you are souls, you forget the Father. This is
the first and foremost thing. By becoming soul conscious, you will remember the
Father and also your inheritance. When you remember your inheritance, you will
remain pure and also have divine virtues. You have your aim and objective in
front of you. This is the Godly University where God is teaching you. He alone
can make you soul conscious. No one else has this skill. The one Father teaches
you this. This Dada is also making effort. The Father never takes a body, for
which He would have to make effort to become soul conscious. He simply comes at
this time to make you soul conscious. There is a saying: How can someone who has
responsibility on his head sleep comfortably? When someone has too much business
etc., he doesn’t get any spare time. Those who have spare time come in front of
Baba to make effort. Some new ones also come, and they feel that this knowledge
is very good. These words, “Remember Me, your Father, and your sins will be
absolved”, are also mentioned in the Gita. So, the Father explains this. He
doesn't blame anyone. He knows that you had to become impure from pure and that
He has to come to make you pure from impure. This is the predestined drama.
There is no question of defamation of anyone in this. You children now
understand this knowledge very clearly. No one else knows God at all. This is
why they are called orphans and atheists. The Father is now making you children
so sensible. As the Teacher, He is teaching you how this world cycle continues.
When you receive these teachings, you are reformed. Bharat, which was the Temple
of Shiva, has now become a brothel. There is no question of defamation in this.
This is a play that the Father explains to you. He tells you how you changed
from deities into devils, but He doesn't ask you why you became that. The Father
has come to give His own introduction to you children. He has also come to give
you this knowledge of how the world cycle turns. Only human beings would know
this. You now know this and are becoming deities. This is a study of how to
change from human beings into deities and only the Father sits here and teaches
it. Here, all are human beings. Deities cannot come to this world, so they
couldn’t become teachers and teach you. Look how the Father who teaches you
comes here to teach you. It is remembered that the Supreme Father, the Supreme
Soul, takes a chariot. They don't write fully which chariot He takes. No one
even understands the significance of the Trimurti. The Supreme Father means the
Supreme Soul. He gives His own introduction as to who He is. There is no
question of arrogance in this. Because of not understanding this, people say: He
has arrogance. This Brahma does not say that he is God. It is a matter of
understanding that these are the elevated versions of the Father. The Father of
all souls is One. This one is called Dada. This one is “The Lucky Chariot”. He
is named Brahma because Brahmins are needed. Prajapita Brahma is Adi Dev; he is
the Father of people. Which people are they? Prajapita Brahma is a bodily being,
and so he must have adopted him. Shiv Baba explains to you children: I do not
adopt anyone. All of you souls are always My children anyway. I do not make you
My children. I am the eternal Father of you souls. The Father explains so
clearly but, nevertheless, He says: Consider yourselves to be souls. You have to
renounce the whole of the old world. Your intellects know that everyone will
return home from this world. It isn't that you have to have renunciation and go
away into a forest. We will renounce the whole world and go to our home. This is
why nothing, except the one Father, should be remembered. When someone reaches
the age of 60, he has to make effort to go beyond sound, that is, to go into the
stage of retirement. The question of going into the stage of retirement refers
to this time. On the path of devotion, no one knows about the stage of
retirement. They cannot explain the meaning of “The stage of retirement”.
“Beyond sound” refers to the incorporeal world. All souls reside there, and so
it is everyone’s stage of retirement. Everyone has to go back home. In the
scriptures, they have shown that a soul is a star shining in the centre of a
forehead. Some think that a soul is thumb shaped and they remember a thumb
shape. How can they remember or worship a star? So, the Father explains: When
you become body conscious, you become worshippers. When the time of devotion
begins, it is called the cult of devotion. The cult of this knowledge is
separate. This knowledge and devotion cannot both exist at the same time, just
as day and night cannot exist at the same time. Day refers to happiness and
night refers to sorrow, that is, to devotion. It is said: The day and then the
night of Prajapita Brahma. Therefore, people and Brahma definitely exist at the
same time. You Brahmins understand that you experience happiness for half a
cycle. Then, there is sorrow for half a cycle. This is something to be
understood with your intellects. You also know that not everyone can remember
the Father. Nevertheless, the Father Himself continues to explain to you:
Consider yourselves to be souls and remember Me and you will become pure. This
message has to be given to everyone. You have to do service. Those who don't do
service are not flowers. When the Master of the Garden goes into the garden, He
only wants to see in front of Him the flowers who are serviceable and who
benefit many. Those who are body conscious can understand for themselves that
they are not flowers. Very good flowers are sitting in front of Baba. So, the
Father's vision falls on them and a very good dance (of knowledge) is then
performed (example of the dancing girl). At a school, the teachers know who will
claim number one, two and three. The Father's attention is also drawn to those
who do service. They are the ones who climb into His heart. Those who do
disservice cannot climb into His heart. The first and foremost thing that the
Father explains is: Have the faith that you are souls, for only then will there
be remembrance of the Father. If you are body conscious, you won't be able to
remember the Father. Your intellects would then be drawn to worldly relatives or
your business. When you become soul conscious, you remember the parlokik Father.
You should remember the Father with a lot of love. It requires effort to
consider oneself to be a soul. You need to have solitude because the course of
being in a furnace for seven days is very hard. No one should be remembered. You
cannot even write a letter to anyone. This was your bhatthi in the beginning.
Not everyone can be kept here. This is why it is said: Practise this whilst
living at home. Devotees too keep a separate space in which they perform
devotion etc. They sit at that place and rotate a rosary. Therefore, solitude is
needed on this pilgrimage of remembrance too. You must only remember the one
Father. There is no question of saying anything. You need to make time to
practise having this remembrance. You know that a physical father is a limited
creator whereas that One is the unlimited Creator. Prajapita Brahma is also
unlimited. He adopts you children. Shiv Baba doesn't adopt anyone. You are
constantly His children. You souls say that you are the eternal children of Shiv
Baba. Brahma has adopted you. Each aspect has to be understood very clearly. The
Father explains to you children every day. You say: Baba, we are unable to
remember You. The Father says: You have to find time for this. Some are such
that they cannot give any time at all. They have a lot of work in their
intellects, so how can they be on the pilgrimage of remembrance? The Father
explains: The main thing is to consider yourself to be a soul and to remember Me
and you will become pure: “I am a soul, a child of Shiv Baba”. This is “Manmanabhav”.
This requires effort. There is no question of receiving blessings. This is a
study. There cannot be blessings or mercy in this. Do I ever place My hand over
you? You know that you are receiving your inheritance from the unlimited Father.
Everything is included in the blessings, "May you be immortal!” “May you have a
long life!" You will have a full age (life). There, there is never any untimely
death. None of the sages or holy men can give you this inheritance. They say:
May you have a son! So, people think that they have had a son due to that
blessing. Anyone who doesn't have a child would go and become his follower. This
knowledge is only received once. This knowledge is unadulterated and the reward
of it lasts for half a cycle. Then, there is ignorance. Devotion is said to be
ignorance. Everything is explained so clearly. 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 you
spiritual children.
Essence for dharna:
1. It is now
your stage of retirement. Therefore, remove everything from your intellect and
stay in remembrance of the one Father. Sit in solitude and practise: I am a
soul. I am a soul.
2. Become a
serviceable flower. Do not perform any such actions that disservice would be
done due to the influence of body consciousness. Become an instrument for the
benefit of many. Definitely make time to have remembrance.
Blessing:
May you
become totally free from attachment by imbibing the newness of God’s knowledge
of purity.
The newness of this
Godly knowledge is purity. You say with spiritual intoxication that fire and
cotton wool can stay together without catching fire. You challenge the world and
say that without becoming pure, you cannot become a yogi or a gyani soul. So,
purity means to be completely free from attachment. Let there not be any
attachment to any person or object. Only with such purity will you be able to do
the service of purifying matter.
Slogan:
Purity is the
main foundation of your life. Even if you have to die, you must not give up your
religion.
