02/08/15 Om Shanti Avyakt BapDada Madhuban 09/1/80
“Your subtle (alokik) dress and subtle adornment.”
Today, while watching the entertaining games of you children everywhere, BapDada smiled and in some instances was also amused. What games were you playing? BapDada was seeing that He has especially given for the whole day all you residents of the most elevated confluence age whose lives are as valuable as a diamond, you most elevated children of BapDada, you Godly children, you elevated souls of the Brahmin clan, you long-lost and now-found children of the confluence age, different dresses and jewellery and also elevated seats on which to sit so that each of you can dress and adorn yourself according to the time. In the golden age, you change into different dresses and wear different jewellery but the sanskars have to be created at this time. Father Brahma has given you Brahmin children the different dresses and jewellery of the confluence age to wear. However, what entertaining scene did He see? Even though you have such beautiful dresses and adornments, some of you children still put on your dirty old dresses!
Do you know which dress and jewellery to wear at amrit vela? Do you know which dress and jewellery to wear at different times throughout the day? You children have received a variety of titles from BapDada. You have a different set of dresses for the stage of each title and also different sets of jewellery for the different virtues. How many varieties of dresses and sets of jewellery do you have? Remain constantly seated on your decorated seat, according to the type of dress you wear and the type of jewellery sets you use. Count how many dresses you have. To stabilise in the stage of that title means to wear that dress: sometimes wear the dress of a world benefactor, sometimes of a master almighty authority and sometimes of a spinner of the discus of self-realisation. Wear your dress according to the task and time. As well as this, decorate yourself according to the different virtues. Put on your different sets of jewellery. Adorn your wrists, your neck, your ears and your forehead. On your forehead have the awareness of being an embodiment of bliss - this is the chindi (ornament similar to a tilak, but with a chain attached to it). From your throat, constantly let words emerge that give the experience of bliss - this is the necklace to wear around your neck. On your wrists, that is, whilst doing your work, have the stage of an embodiment of bliss- these are the bracelets on your wrists. Always use your ears to listen to things that make you an embodiment of bliss - this is the jewellery for your ears. Let your feet point towards the service of making others into embodiments of bliss, that is, let every step you take be towards becoming an embodiment of bliss and making others the same - this is the jewellery for your feet. Now, have you understood this set of virtues? Have you worn the complete set? Similarly, you need to wear different sets at different times. You know how to wear the set, do you not? Or, is it that when you put on your earrings, you leave off your necklace? Nowadays, people usually wear the whole set. So, you have such a set of elevated jewellery, do you not? In that case, why don’t you use it? Why don’t you wear it? Why do you leave off all of your various beautiful dresses and put on a dress covered with the mud of the awareness of the body instead?
Today, Baba was watching the competition of your dresses and jewellery and seeing which children remained constantly adorned throughout the day and which children were busy in putting on and taking off their dresses. One moment, they would put on one dress and the next moment they would take that dress off and put on a dress of a lower quality. They were unable to keep a top quality, beautiful dress on for any length of time. So, what did Baba see? Some children even put on a dress that had a bad smell. What was that smell? They put on the dress that had the bad smell of attachment to their bodily relations and physical things. This bad smell could be smelt from far away. Some put on a dress of dirty skin. They put on a criminal eye dress of looking at the skin. Some children wore a dress of such dirty skin! Others wore a dress stained with dirt marks. Dirt marks are the defects that you see in others which you then inculcate into yourselves. There were also some very badly stained dresses. The dresses of some were even badly stained with blood. Why were they stained with blood? To commit a sin repeatedly is to kill the soul. Some souls were even wearing the dresses in which they had committed suicide of their elevated stage. Now, just think about the difference between the dresses of your elevated titles and those dirty dresses! Elevated souls should be wearing elevated (top quality) dresses. So, what did Baba see? Some children wore those elevated dresses all day long; they also wore their full set of jewellery and they remained seated on their seats very well. However, there were some who were not able to wear the beautiful dresses that were put in front of them even though they wanted to. So, from amrit vela, wear your set of elevated jewellery. Constantly wear your dress of elevated titles and decorate yourself with virtues. Just as in the golden age the maids carry the trains of the dresses of the world emperor and world empress, so now, when you constantly wear the dresses of the titles “conquerors of Maya” and “confluence-aged self-sovereigns”, the five elements and the five vices will carry the trains of your dresses - they will be subservient to you.
Visualize the scene of Ravan’s ten heads becoming your ten servants and following you conquerors of Maya. However, when your dress is just tight (perfect fit) and your train is long and loose, those ten servants will follow you and carry your train. The kings and queens of today wear long robes too, so that the servants can carry their trains. If the robes are not long all the time, or you are not tight (strict) with your titles, then those same servants will take your dress off you, because it will be loose. Now, make your dress of titles tight (fit you perfectly) with determination. Determination is your belt. Tighten the belt of your dress with this determination and you will always be safe; your servants will always be subservient to you. You were told earlier of how the vices will be transformed and become your co-operative servants. So, you now know what dress you have to wear and also how to keep it tight. Wear whatever dress you want at any time, but do not wear a dirty dress. Take advantage of the variety of dresses and jewellery. Father Brahma and BapDada have given you the dowry of the confluence age. Although you have made a love marriage, you will still receive your dowry. Your dowry is your beautiful dresses and sets of various sets of jewellery. Don’t put aside the trosseau that BapDada has given you and use your previous one. Some children not only accept the trousseau that BapDada gives them, but also keep their old dresses hidden away somewhere to wear sometimes. When your old attachment pulls you, you put on that old dress. You put aside your very precious dress and put on a torn dress. Don’t do this any more! If you are still keeping something hidden away, burn it! And, having burnt it, don’t even keep the ashes! Throw away the ashes in the ocean and you will remain constantly adorned and seated on BapDada’s heart-throne. If you get off your throne, you would be hung on the gallows; sometimes of greed and sometimes of attachment. So, let go of the gallows and remain seated on the heart-throne. You have been keeping your dowry safe, have you not? So now use it! Don’t just keep your dowry on one side. Don’t just keep looking at it and think how very good it is, but use it and claim the first number in this dress competition. You have been told that you claim a number by doing something constantly. Everyone knows how to wear a dress, but not everyone knows how to keep their dress in a constantly tip-top condition. Your number depends on your being remaining constantly decorated. Will it be those from the foreign lands or the people of Bharat who come first in this competition? You can all claim as much as you want. Outside, only one person in a competition can claim a number as a prize, whereas here, many people can claim the first number. Here, the treasure is limitless and so all of those who come in the first division will receive a first prize. Achcha, what are you going to do from tomorrow?
Throughout the whole day, from amrit vela, stay with the Father and wear your various dresses and remain decorated with your various sets of jewellery. From amrit vela onwards, wear your dress of the first number. Baba is only going to take such beautifully decorated brides back with Him; He is not going to take anyone else. Those who come first in this competition will remain with the Father and return home with Him. Those who don’t stay with the Father will not return home with the Father either. So, constantly remember this slogan; constantly keep this tilak on you: “I will stay with You and return home with You.” You know how much someone can enjoy a competition. The Father shows Father Brahma this competition in the subtle region. Because Brahma Baba remembers you children, Baba is showing him what state you children are in.
To such constantly adorned idols, to the great souls who understand how important the elevated life of the confluence age is, to those who transform their enemies into their co-operative servants, to such master almighty authorities who constantly stay in the unique, combined form of the self and the Father, to such supremely worshipful and praiseworthy souls, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.
BapDada’s sweet elevated versions for the serviceable children:
The praise of you serviceable children is very great, because you become equal to the Father. The Father comes to serve you children and you are also instruments, and so you have become equal to Baba, have you not? It is those that become equal who are praised. Only those who become equal to the Father can remain constantly combined with Him. If you are not equal, you cannot remain combined with Him. So, to becomeequal to the Father means constantly to keep your self-respect. Does the Father ever forget His self-respect? So, to be equal to the Father means constantly to keep your self-respect. Are you like this? Just as you automatically remain aware of your body, so do you also equally remain constantly aware of the Father and service? You don’t have to remember your body, because it is automatically remembered. Similarly, you should automatically remember the Father and service. If you have to labour to stay in remembrance of Him, how are you going to make others into easy yogis? The qualification of a serviceable child is to remain an easy and natural yogi.
According to the time, all of your labouring should have now finished. If you are still, even now, having to labour or still have any questions of: “Why?” or “What?”, then you can’t perform your duty. To ask: “Why?” or “What?” means to stand in a queue. If you are still standing in a queue yourself, how are you going to satisfy other souls and make them content? If you, yourself, are still making requests, how would you become a bestower? To be serviceable means to continue to give and then to receive. Those who are asking: “Why?” and “What?” are those who keep begging like beggars. “Give me power! Give me co- operation! Make me successful in carrying out this task! To make requests like this is like royal begging. So, how could those who are like beggars in this queue become bestowers and give to others? Your childhood has now ended. In your childhood you were given total freedom. You were given the freedom to become sensitive and cry; you were also free to think whatever you wanted to think; but no longer! You have now reached your stage of retirement. Things of your childhood are not continued in your age of retirement. There can no longer be any questions of: “What?” or “Why?”. Those who ask such questions are of “baby quality”. Those who are babies cannot become “bibis” (wives). The contract is now just between the Husband and wife. Your babyish stage has now ended. To become equal to the Father means that you have become like Husband and wife. Little children are not said to be equal. When a boy grows up and becomes a father, he is said to be equal. So, now finish any baby quality.
Let there not even be the thought that your sanskars are not in harmony. You have to make them harmonious. Who would say that their sanskars are not in harmony? Who would say: “This one can’t change” or “This one won’t listen”? Who speaks the language of “won’t” or “can’t”? Now, it has to happen. You have to say, “Ha ji”. You must no longer use the word “no”. All of you are now those who say “yes”, are you not? Now, stop being limited and become unlimited. You were told earlier that to think of yourself as the head of a zone is also to be limited. Look at the map and see what your zone is. It is just a point, and so that is limited, is it not? Now, no longer even think that you belong to a particular place or that you are OK at a particular place. Do you want to become the master of the unlimited or of just one place? Don’t think that if your place changes, your stage will be transformed! If Baba were to send you somewhere, would you be ready for that? If Baba sends you to any place, even abroad, you should be ever ready. Baba can send you abroad or anywhere else from here. When you have to go, you automatically receive power. So, from tomorrow, shall we start to move everyone around? Achcha. When a new bulletin is issued, don’t say that you want one or two years, two or four months to prepare yourself. Do you have this courage?
Anyway, what things do you have that belong to you? If something belongs to you, then it is everything, whereas if nothing belong to you, nothing is yours. Whatever belongs to the Father is yours. Everything that belongs to the Father is unlimited and so everything of yours is also unlimited. To be unlimited means that everything belongs to you.
BapDada constantly gives special co-operation to all of you children because you are instruments for service, and special serviceable souls are given special co-operation. Those who perform a special task would be remembered first. In the world outside, when you study the history of any particular time who are remembered first in that history? Those who were special are remembered. Even in the history of the confluence age, it is the special and serviceable souls who are especially remembered first. Whenever BapDada remembers anyone, He automatically remembers those who are serviceable. He doesn’t have to be told to remember anyone. All you have to do is become able to receive the return of special remembrance. The Father gives you all the return of your remembrance, but, sometimes, because of your carelessness, you are unable to take it. Whatever Baba has, He gives it to you. He gives to everyone, but those who take it are numberwise.
Blessing:
As well as listening to knowledge, may you also become an embodiment of it and, by keeping the mind entertained, become a constantly powerful soul. 
Every day, create thoughts in your mind of zeal and enthusiasm for yourself and for others. Become an embodiment of it yourself and also use it to serve others and your life will then be filled with zeal all the time and you will become one who gives enthusiasm to others. Just as there are entertainment programmes, similarly, every day, create a programme to entertain your mind. Become an embodiment of whatever knowledge you hear and you will become powerful.
Slogan:
The knowledge of what is elevated action is the pen with which you draw the line of elevated fortune.
