Seniors’ Classes: Topic 3: Being Masters Bestowers of Treasures Dadi Prakashmani - Become Merciful and generous hearted and give the sustenance of Godly love. 1. Giving Godly love Today we heard the Bhog message ‘Put a stop to the past-become an example and reveal the father’. In order to achieve this we need to implement some rules (Sanyam). Each one of us has to ask ourselves to what extent we have become sweet like Baba. Do I have any negative feelings for anyone in my heart? Is there any trace of hatred for anyone? Is there even a little I have to renounce it today? We are all the arms of Baba. Baba has sustained us very lovingly in the Sakar form. So, we have now to give the return by giving love to everyone. We have to ask ourselves if we stay in the loveleen stage. This godly love is the basis of firm faith. So we have now to give the return of godly love. Meet others personally, fill them with such power that they experience the sustenance of spirituality and love and are merged in God’s love. Instead of opening new centres and ‘Geeta Pathshalas’ empower your state by staying in silence. Become merciful and win the heart of everyone. Become generous and donate while serving others. Bear in mind that I have to have only positive feelings for everyone. The trace of I'ness and myness must finish. 2. The importance of service To do service filled with zeal and enthusiasm is good but we have to see that whilst serving, souls experience Baba. To engage too much in service is also a weakness in our personal stage. We have to check whether we can pack up everything and stabilize in the bodiless stage in one second. Does some kind of negativity or service plan still pull us down? 3. Filling oneself with blessings of love and positivity Fill yourself with so many blessings and adopt such Yuktis that make you win the hearts of your companions. However they may be, whether they are stubborn let them be attracted towards God’s love. Do not be rude to them. With the power of deep love and positivity, help them to move forward. Just as it has been said pure love can change a stone into water, finish their obstacles that have been created by lokiks and bodily relations. Each one’s responsibility is to make their centre become a mini Madhuban and to sustain everyone with even more than the sustenance they received in Madhuban. Prepare souls with such love and might that when they come to meet Baba next season there is no trace of doubt or any influence that can disturb them. Sustain them with drishti and then they will have firm faith that mine is only one Shiva Baba. 4. Serving Generously Whoever comes in Baba’s house must be considered as God’s Guests. God himself has invited them here. It is not your centre, its God’s house. Serve them so generous heartedly that I’ness and Myness finish. In all centres and sub-centres there must be total unity among brothers and sisters so that not a single thought of doubt or of leaving Baba arises in the mind. On the contrary, create such a powerful atmosphere that can pull souls who have left Baba. Whatever misunderstanding exists among you, this must finish. Baba is both Dharamraj and an Ocean of love. So be like Baba, have a balance of love and power and speed up your efforts. Sustain each one but do not become jealous of anyone’s progress. Purity is not only celibacy but freedom from traces of impurity in our nature and sanskaras. If others see transformation in our nature and sanskaras, then they will be willing to transform themselves. Start by having unlimited distaste and serve everyone with great love and sweetness so that they can make Baba their whole world.
The more we become lighter in our interactions the more every task will be performed accurately. Whatever happens just become light; do not keep any burden. When we develop such lightness, our stage improves. If both of us keep our minds engaged in something then tension is created between us and we will sulk. So it is my duty to pack up everything in one second. Become detached and put a full stop. Putting a full stop means, we have closed the matter. If we are heavy then interactions become heavy and this has an effect on our stage. Whatever heaviness exists in a very subtle way among us, make effort, even if you have to say sorry, to finish the matter as quickly as possible. Baba has advised that we become ever ready. We have only to be concerned about how quickly we can achieve our complete and perfect stage. Who has seen tomorrow? There are many untimely scenes that we encounter everyday, accidents, natural calamities. So whatever is left to be done has to be done now-this is my pure feelings. Om Shanti ________________________________________________________________________________ Dadi Janki Class: Master Bestower, Merciful and Compassionate Love, truth, mercy have become part of our thoughts. If I do not have mercy in my thoughts, if my heart is delicate and takes sorrow quickly, or if my heart is hard and I give sorrow readily, then how can I give happiness. So my heart should be a merciful one, my thoughts should be filled with truth. Whilst walking and talking my thoughts should not be ordinary. Even if our intellect is good, if there isn’t mercy in our heart we will be ordinary. The intellect will not work on what others need. If I clean my heart then compassion, honesty and love are able to emerge and do their work. The mind is then liberated from mischief, it becomes free from the burden of desires and thus strong. The soul then truly becomes like BapDada, equal to the Father, the master Almighty Authority, the Master Bestower of fortune Bestower of blessings. Resolving Tomorrow – Making the Most of Today (11th January 2007): “Today we need to transform the tendency to have hot heads and cold hearts into a situation where we can keep the heart warm and open with love and compassion and the head cool with peace-this will help ourselves and vibrate out into the world. We need to develop an attitude of appreciation- gratitude brings feelings of joy and contentment. Dadi Janki Sharing Chitchat with double foreigners before Bapdada’s Programme Wherever you are, let there be the awareness that you have to remove the sorrow of that place. Enable victory to take place in everyone. Then others will see you with that vision. Baba teaches us motherly love. But also, Baba becomes your authority, your strength, to see yourself and see what you have to become. Through us, others should experience what their mother and father can be like, just as Baba has given us this experience. We should not be subservient to our own nature. Whatever is not good in me, let me change it very fast. When it has penetrated my sanskaras, it is difficult. I have to have this loving feeling in my own self: I am the one who has to change. As Baba has given me mercy and forgiveness as an inheritance, take that for yourself, so everyone in the world sees you flying, and wants the same. If I am true with the family, I receive true love. Let me remember that these are my Baba’s children. It is Baba’s task and home, but I am instrument to see that everything goes well, which is possible only with truth, humility and love. Baba is the Ocean of Mercy and Forgiveness. He has kept us on his path (gali), in order to make us the garland around His neck (gale). I should make such efforts that even Baba Himself calls me ‘His worthy child’. It is my duty to share whatever I have learned from Baba. Dadi Janki – To have good wishes and feelings of benevolence for all; perform elevated actions in this Confluence age What is the difference between donation and charity? We donate through wealth. Whilst elevated actions, charity are performed when we serve through our mind and body in a real time of need. If we have money, we donate. But, elevated charity actions involve feelings of mercy and love. When we cooperate with everyone and have sympathy for them, then this creates an account of charity. The soul becomes pure. The sins of the soul are absolved, when we use our time, energy and serve others happily and from our heart. Anyway, no one can stay without performing actions, but Baba has taught us how to serve through the mind, words and actions in order to uplift those who defame us. In Satyug, there is no need for donation or charity. To whom will we donate? Through what type of charity or donation do we become worthy to go to such a land where both the king and his subjects are happy? By developing divine virtues and performing elevated actions, we become worthy. In Satyug, no one experiences pain or sorrow so there is no need for sympathy from anyone. No one is poor in Satyug so there is no need to donate. There we enjoy the fruit of what we performed in Sangamyug. At this time, we don’t donate like Kaliyugi people who just give for the sake of name and fame so their names will be on the front pages of newspapers. No one does true charity in Kaliyug. However, Baba’s children sacrifice so much in order to give a handful in Baba’s Yagya. They adopt a very simple lifestyle. This is not donation but true service that Baba teaches us in the Confluence Age. Baba does not need our money, on the contrary, he shows us how to use money in a successful way. The saying is that “the money of some will go dust, some will be looted by thieves etc…So, it’s up to us to use them successfully. Depending on how much we invest successfully accordingly we experience happiness, health and wealth both now and in Satyug. Only experienced souls understand this. Those who serve through the body become healthy whilst those who do mansa seva don’t have waste or negative thoughts. When you become so busy in serving through the mind, no other thoughts except those of benevolence emerge. Maya bows in front of the happiness of those who have good wishes constantly. If you are faced by any storm of Maya, do mansa seva and remember Baba. Have good wishes for everyone and create pure feelings. Learn to purify your feelings. Bring divinity in your feelings. Learn how to experience super-sensuous joy instead of being in pain and sorrow. Conquer the senses and be free from any form of desires. The sanskaras of desiring more and more never get fulfilled and you experience sorrow. When we belong to Baba, we don’t want anything. Baba fulfils all our desires. Our life becomes worth diamonds. What else do we want or need? Baba has taught us how to play with the gems of knowledge. So at the level of thoughts we have been liberated. There is even no need to spend time churning about how much charity we have done. Be cautious if ever-ordinary action or sinful action is performed. In the lokik world, people perform both donation and sinful actions mainly the rich ones. Here Baba has taught us about the philosophy of karma. What is the use of donations? While you still perform sinful actions. The fruits of donation and those of charity differ. Someone who serves from the heart will never have any doubt that I might lack money in future if I surrender all my wealth in Baba’s Yagya. Serving generous heartedly enables you to become virtuous. In the lokik world, if someone has any special talent they will hide it so that someone else doesn’t acquire the talent. But here Baba has taught us that by donating, we not only experience happiness but we become more talented. We have taken benefit in an unlimited way from the company of Baba. There is praise for good company. Those who are 'Kacche', they won’t understand or be able to discern whether this company is beneficial. So by giving good company also we can serve others. Besides, we can serve others by our attitudes filled with divinity (spirituality) and feelings of mercy. Through our attitudes, we can create pure vibrations. Pure and light atmosphere is created when there is no impurity in our attitudes. So we need to always have a pure and powerful mind in order to help others. Nowadays souls need all kinds of help and support. Sometimes, even very good souls get caught up in one or another form of confusion and then they cannot detach themselves. So at that time, the company of souls who have pure and powerful attitudes can benefit them. You need to pay much attention for your self-progress. By churning knowledge among those, who are spiritually rich then you will immediately experience divinity. Fill yourself fully and then you will be able to give. ______________________________________________________________________________ Sister Mohini (New York) - Extracts from Bhog Message (15/4/2007) Baba said, especially for this morning, every step, one of Baba’s children takes, creates multimillion-fold fortune. Remember two words “kadam”, “step” and “padam”, “multimillion fold”. This means you take one-step and the drama brings multimillion-fold fortune. That step you take needs to have three main qualities: you need the awareness that: (1) you are bestowers. After receiving unlimited treasures from Baba, do we need anything else? To accumulate unlimited treasures, we have to use them. There is no other way you can accumulate. You may say, “I am practicing, so I can stay peaceful”. If, when there is a situation, you forget then, are you peaceful? But instead, you say, “I am the one who has to bestow peace on everyone”, and then you can use peace. Stay peaceful; speak to everyone in a peaceful way. You are accumulating. Only by becoming a bestower of what Baba has given you, does it become yours. (2) Those who are bestowers have this capacity for the bestowing to become blessings. This year Baba has given us homework to receive and give blessings. So I have received blessings from Baba, and then I give blessings. Remember that first, you have to become a bestower and only then does it becomes yours. Always remember I am a bestower, and from that, I accumulate. For some souls, we say, “This one has said it, so it will happen.”
(1) be a bestower (2) receive and give blessings and (3) success and victory are your birthright. If all three are in your consciousness, there will be multi-million-fold fortune from every step.
Being a bestower- unconditional sweet love The spirit of bestowing is based on unconditional sweet love. As Baba said in the murli, he who is full, complete and without desire is able to give. When we remember him in different forms, he bestows the love and attainments of all relationships so that we don’t need to search anywhere else. Transforming our attitudes The spirit of bestowing or giving is an attitude we form after properly understanding the philosophy, concepts and wisdom taught by Baba. Baba has given us the aim of becoming ‘presiding, most-loved deities (isht devta)’. In India, every family has their own presiding deity whom they turn to for blessings and boons. There is great meaning behind this aim and teaching: firstly, it involves the transformation of our attitudes so that we no longer beg like devotees. From day one, we have received the understanding that we are children of God- His heirs- and as such, His blessings are our birthright. We receive everything as our inheritance without needing to ask. The next step is to remain tuned to the source and fill the self with love, power and divinity. These virtues are then transmitted automatically from us in the form of vibrations. Many times our vibrations attract unknown people who say, "You don’t have to say anything, I simply enjoy being with you." When we are linked with Baba on a subtle level, there is an automatic flow of Baba’s qualities to us, which are reflected onto others. This sanskar, formed in meditation, gives us the title of ‘devta’ or ‘deity’ meaning those who give or bestow. In India, nature or the elements are also worshipped as ‘devta’, villagers of Mount Abu are often seen worshipping the trees and stones on the roadside. Knowledgeful souls may find their actions and rituals amusing but they do bear significance; trees give us shade and oxygen and so they are respected because nature bestows the essentials for human life. The spirit of giving respect What do you give Baba in return for the wisdom He bestows? When He greets you with ‘namaste’, how do you respond? As we are spiritually full, we create the attitude of giving and this in turn keeps us free from limited desires. We then earn the status of being ‘bestowers’. Baba’s teachings are subtly connected with our future births in Golden Age. There, not a single soul will lack anything as far as material requirements are connected; nonetheless, everyone will be known as a ‘goddess’ or ‘god’ (devta) – why is that? The essence of the entire lesson on ‘giving’ is to give respect. Whether the other person gives regard or not, we still have to give respect. This attitude and sanskar, inculcated in the Confluence Age, is carries forth to the Golden Age. This is why deities constantly interact with mutual respect. Therefore, our golden stage is not only created by giving knowledge, or using our time and wealth for others, but by inculcating a very subtle quality: the spirit of giving respect. The basis of forming this spirit is to first understand that everyone belongs to Baba. Secondly, everyone has a unique role to play. Thirdly, each soul has specialities and fourthly, everyone is a great server, playing a hero role in transforming the world. With these qualities in mind, an automatic feeling of respect in our hearts develops for one other. The moment we put these aspects aside, we begin to look at each other’s weaknesses. When there is less respect for another soul, rather than being a bestower we may consider ourselves superior. I think, "My thinking, my stage, my qualities, my churning are better than that of so- and –so". This may be very true, everything about us may in fact be better, but when respect is not shown then we start demanding the same from others. Would I then be called a bestower or a beggar? Instead of being spiritual, we act like worldly people who prefer to take respect rather than ‘earn’ it. Baba draws our focus to sustaining an attitude of unconditional respect for one another. Just as our Brahmin culture is based on unconditional, selfless love, attention should be given to developing unconditional, selfless respect. Simply, continue to give without expectation for the returns. ‘Giving enables your heart to experience the greatest feeling of happiness. Your smile will never disappear (even in your sleep) while practising this because thoughts that normally make your happiness short-lived do not emerge anymore. Quality of the thoughts When our needs become the basis of our thinking, the ‘needs’ can change into ‘needles’ and prick us. It is easy to speak endlessly about deities who are free from desires’ but consistent, subtle efforts are required. It is very simple to say, ‘Brahmin to Angel, and Angel to Deity’, but only when we imbibe the qualities of angels and deities now, will they become part of our future personality. These attitudes do not appear naturally but need to be worked on. You perhaps have been doing very well for a month or two but may forget your efforts temporarily when faced suddenly with a situation. It is essential to keep a daily watch on the quality of our thoughts: how to begin the day, how to deal with things that crop up throughout the day, reviewing our chart before retiring at night. Brahmin souls are very fortunate. There are hardly any places in the world where the day begins with early morning meditation. We are blessed with Baba’s company and can fill the self with love and power. This is followed by Murli where the intellect gets saturated with the highest and most powerful thoughts that set our minds and attitudes at an optimum level for the day. People may go to their place of worship once a week for prayer but Baba Himself is teaching us how to maintain an elevated consciousness all the time. Baba’s advice Baba encouraged us beautifully in a recent murli where He asked if we could spare a few seconds every hour to remember Him. Generally, when people give advice they usually mention this is what they recommend but it is up to the other person to act as he or she likes. However, Baba isn’t tired of advising us even after 63 long years. While sharing guidance, He keeps new children in mind that they are facing hardships. Just as new solutions and remedies are discovered by science or medicine each year, similarly, Baba gives us simple advice yearly to solve our problems. There is great benefit embedded in His simple advice: ‘Spend one minute every hour in remembrance.’ Then He adds, ‘OK, if you don’t have a minute then remember Baba for only five or six seconds.’ He knows that if we direct our attention to Him sincerely, honestly and lovingly for five or six seconds, they will expand into sixty seconds and sixty seconds will turn into sixty minutes. Ultimately, remembrance will become natural in our life. Baba says, ‘You don’t serve for only four or eight hours; similarly do not be yogis for a limited period.’ This is our yogi life, a natural life. The essence of being a bestower means returning to our natural state of being: ‘Devta’ – gods and goddesses. ‘Devta’ is a being full of divine virtues and a ‘bestower’. The longer we remain in this consciousness, the more natural it becomes. It is said about charity: ‘When you give with your right hand, not even your left hand should know about it’, meaning the giving or charitable act must be done incognito, with no outwardly show. Giving is our natural sanskar and does not involve pride. The knowledge of the joy of giving is a very beautiful and valuable jewel to possess. As Baba says, ‘Don’t store whatever you have in a safe; use it and let it multiply.’ The more we share knowledge, values and powerful thoughts, the more they multiply. The spirit of giving grows by using it unconditionally and selflessly. Our own happiness multiplies to such an extent that our smile never leaves our face even in grave situations. The first noticeable change that occurs when a Brahmin visits a place where people are unhappy or crying is that they become silent. As we gradually give drishti, they are relieved of their sorrow and begin to smile. We carry this sanskar of a ‘constant smile’ to the Golden Age. We will leave the body happily at our own will and no one will shed tears of sorrow. Baba says, the memorial of your smile is worshipped in the temples. No other models or statues can bear likeness to the idols of the deities because the happiness they portray is symbolic of our lives of constant happiness in the Golden Age. ________________________________________________________________________________ Yüklə 219 Kb.
