“The Importance of Purity”

Blessing:

May you be influential in one particular speciality, as well as being full of all virtues.

Doctors always have knowledge of general illnesses, but, some also become well-known for specialising in a particular illness. Similarly, you children have to become full of all virtues, yet you will continue to move forward by experiencing one particular speciality and using that for service. Saraswati is known as the Goddess of Knowledge and Lakshmi is worshipped as the Goddess of Wealth. In the same way, even though you have all virtues and all powers, research one virtue or power in particular and become influential in that.

Slogan:

Make the snake of the vices your bed of easy yoga and you will be constantly carefree.


Om Shanti

“The Importance of Purity”
BapDada is happy to see all His great souls, His righteous souls (dharmatmas), His charitable souls and greatly pure souls. The children of the Supreme Soul are supremely pure children. Importance is given to purity. People everywhere believe in purity. It is because of their purity that souls become supremely worship-worthy and praise-worthy. Purity is their elevated religion, their dharna. The greatest charitable donation in this Godly service is the donation of purity. To enable someone to become pure is to make him into a charitable soul, because you stop that soul at that time from committing the very great sin of suicide of the soul. To commit suicide of the soul is impurity, whereas to give the donation of life is purity. To make someone pure means to make him into a charitable soul. The slogan you use for the essence of the knowledge of the Gita and this Godly knowledge also indicates the importance of purity. The slogan, “Be holy, be yogi” is the foundation for becoming a great soul. The number (position) you are awarded for the efforts you make in your Brahmin life is also based on your purity. The memorials of those on the path of devotion are also based on their purity. No devotees without that purity are allowed to touch your idols, your non-living memorials. Importance is also given to purity for the whole day on which they celebrate the memory of a particular deity – for the whole day. So, the devotees observe that discipline for a temporary period. When people celebrate the nine nights of the goddesses (Navratri), the birth of Krishna (Janamasthmi), the festival of lights (Deepawali) and the other special festivals, they definitely follow the discipline of observing purity, even if for only a temporary period. They observe the discipline of purity of the body and the soul. They definitely observe both types of cleanliness. Even when they turn the beads of the rosary which is your memorial, they do that with the accurate discipline of purity. You souls become embodiments of success, and so, because you souls become this, you are worshipped accurately in the right way. Do you know the importance of purity? This is why the main paper of purity is checked first. Each of you must have checked your own paper of purity and made progress according to the programme.

Within the total result, the percentage of the majority of you was OK in the subject of actions. The result for speech was 25% less than the result for actions whilst the result for thoughts was 50% less. There was a slight difference between thoughts and dreams. Within all the results, from the moment you took birth up to now, some were constantly going up and down in their efforts. There would be a stain and you would then erase it. Sometimes, you would think about something and then make effort to stop that thought. Sometimes, there would be a stain in your words or deeds, which you would then make effort to remove. There were many who were erasing or stopping something. However, such intense effort-makers were seen who have already erased the stains of their sanskars so that, even now, their papers are seen to be absolutely clean. They have erased them all so completely that none appear even in their dreams. Baba saw these very pure souls who passed with honours. What is their speciality?

From the moment they took Brahmin birth, they haven’t needed to make effort for purity. They have had the special aim of having this original and eternal sanskar of a Brahmin soul. Because they have such natural sanskars, impurity has never emerged in their dreams or thoughts. They have conducted themselves so naturally with sanskars of purity that they have even gone beyond the stage of first having an impure thought and then becoming victorious. They haven’t needed to make effort in this subject. Baba saw souls who had such sanskars of being supremely worship-worthy. However, those souls are in the minority. While being knowledge-full, while showing others the method to become pure, listening to others’ weaknesses, giving them the Father’s shrimat – listening to all this and knowing it, they themselves have always remained clean, that is, in the subject of purity, they have remained embodiments of success. This is why such supremely worship-worthy souls are also worshipped accurately in the right way. They are worshipped as the eight special deities and also as the special deities of the devotees. The eight specially loved deities are the practical embodiments of the eight powers. So, did you hear the result of the paper?

Now, pay double attention to transforming the thoughts in your minds. Do not think that it’s natural to have these types of thoughts until you become perfect; no! Burn the seed of that thought in the fire of yoga, so that it cannot bear fruit for half a cycle, so that even the first two leaves in the form of words cannot grow, so that the trunk, branches and twigs of actions cannot grow. A seed that is burnt for a long time will not bear fruit for many births. It is not that you can become perfect in this subject at the end. It is this practice over a long period of time that will enable you to pass at the end. First of all, stop thinking that you will become perfect at the end. It is by becoming this now that you can then become this at the end. If you don’t do it now, you cannot become this at the end. So, wake up now from this sleep of carelessness! By staying asleep, you will lose everything. Don’t complain later that you thought only you have to become perfect at the end! Understand the significance of being perfect at the end. Never think that you will resolve any particular weakness you have at the end. You have to make effort now to prepare the jewellery of your Brahmin life. The beads of the maryadas and disciplines have to be studded now. You have to polish them now. At the end, you will simply have to put a final touch to what you have already polished, that’s all! You won’t have time to polish anything then. You will only have time for the elevated service of serving other souls. At that time, you won’t be an effort-maker, you will be a master bestower. At that time, giving will be receiving. Constantly just taking must finish. So, how will you polish yourself at that time? If you were to remain busy in decorating yourself at that time, you would not be able to play the part of a world benefactor. This is why you have to imbibe the sanskars of a master creator now. Put an end to your childish sanskars and become a master creator, a bestower of blessings, a greatly enlightened soul and a great donor, and keep giving to others the powers, knowledge, virtues and all the treasures that you have received. To be a bestower of blessings means to use your own power, as well as the influence of the influence of the atmosphere and vibrations to transform souls. To be a greatly enlightened soul means to transform souls with your words and your various methods of service. To be a great donor means to be spiritually merciful to souls who are completely weak, disheartened or powerless and to give them extra power. However, in some cases, you are even merciful to Maya. When someone is doing something wrong and you feel mercy for that soul, you are being merciful to Maya. At such a time, you need to be lawful. You consider that to be mercy but it is, in fact, attachment. In reality, that is called being merciful to Maya. Do not become merciful in that way. This is why Baba said that you must be ‘spiritually merciful’. Otherwise, some of you even take advantage of words. To be a great donor means to create hope in a completely hopeless case. To help other souls with your power, that is, to give them a donation, is for the subjects. You cannot be a great donor to heir-quality souls. Donations are always given to those who are very poor and support is given to those who have no support. So, at the end, you have to be a great donor to your subject and devotee souls. Brahmins are not great donors for one another. Brahmins are co-operative companions. You are brothers and equal effort-makers. You have to give each other co-operation, not donations. Do you understand? Now, stop thinking that you will do this sometime! Do not use the expression “sometime” any more. An intense effort-maker never says “sometime…” but always says “Now!” Therefore, now become a constant, intense effort-maker.

To such constant world benefactors and great, pure souls, to the supremely worship-worthy souls who remain beyond any type of impurity in their thoughts and dreams and who, even now, are worthy of respect and praise, to the karma yogi souls who serve constantly with their thoughts and by their very form, to such charitable souls, to the great donors who are bestowers of blessings, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting groups:

1.Are all of you ever-ready all-rounders? To be ever ready means that you start doing something the moment you receive an order. As soon as you receive an order, you say “Ha ji”; not that you ask “What should I do? How should I do this?” If you have thoughts such as, “What will happen?”, “How will this happen?”, “Will I be able to continue or not?”, you cannot be said to be ever ready. The speciality of an intense-maker is of being an ever-ready all-rounder. Whenever you receive a chance to serve through your thoughts, words or actions, make sure that you are number one in every subject. It should not be that you are number one in serving through words, number two in serving through actions and number three in serving through thoughts. You must be able to serve through your thoughts with as much love as you serve through your words. Now increase your practice of serving through your thoughts. Householders, too, who give the seven days’ course can also serve through words. Your duty is to make the atmosphere powerful. Make the atmosphere of your place, your town, Bharat and the world powerful. Check whether you are successful in serving with your thoughts. If you are successful in serving with your thoughts, then your own stage and the stage of your centre will remain obstacle-free and will continue to ascend. For the centre’s stage to ascend doesn’t just mean that its numbers increase. The stage of ascent means that its numbers increase in quality, as does its atmosphere, and that the stage of you yourself and your companions is also ascending. This is what is meant by the stage of ascent. Do you experience this? Is your amrit vela powerful? Let it not be that carelessness becomes an obstacle at amrit vela. Do you have such powerful amrit vela that you are able to give the blessing of light and might to the world? Are you, yourself, content with your remembrance at amrit vela?

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

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