Nirwair Bhai – 25th December 2011 – Gyan Sarovar

Ours is a life of celebration

We have received knowledge of the Creator and the Creation from God Himself. This only happens once in the cycle. He has told us about the beginning, middle and the repetition of the cycle. It is a lucky soul who is awakened, understands and receives benefit.  It is a good reason for us to celebrate but Baba has told us that it is not just a matter of celebrating for a day but rather, this is a life of celebration. He comes only at the time of the Confluence. Those who come in direct contact with Him are the most fortunate. They are able to understand, feel and benefit from Baba’s presence, His words of wisdom and the eternal relationship with Him.

Previously we were addressing God as the Supreme, as the Father, but we did not have the practical experience of father and child. At this time we are able to see and realise the benefit we can take from Him. God has revealed the truth and we are now able to see the contrast. Many things seem similar to that which the religious founders preached. Thanks to those teachings there was a great deal of benefit on the path of bhakti. On the path of bhakti souls received teachings and philosophy but what they did not receive was strength. Due to the wisdom of God there is enlightenment and truth and there is a great deal of strength in these.  Souls are able to realise the truth, take benefit and regain lost power. From the Copper Age onwards we had lost power due to a lack of awareness. We lost our awareness of being spiritual beings. Baba makes us aware and wants us to live by that truth in our consciousness. The more we realise and live by that truth this life becomes worth living. The soul feels it is alive at every moment…. Jeevan mukti is a celebration of life and it is ours to experience right now. Baba tells us that we will live such a high quality of life for 21 births. Yes, we will be human beings in the future but we will be divine – godlike. Once the soul reaches that stage of consciousness there is continual joy. There is just the feeling of being light and happy – nothing else. Until we reach this stage we need to make effort. Each soul has a right to Baba’s knowledge and inheritance. Once getting set on the path we find companions to fly and dance with. But I need remember that my closeness to the Supreme depends on my level of soul consciousness. The more I am soul conscious, the more I can feel close to that One. The closer I am to the Supreme, the higher I can fly. It is that flying which is the real celebration. Petrol is not required in this type of flying. No help is required… The method to fly constantly is to have beautiful and positive thoughts. How positive can I remain? Positivity is the master key in reaching this stage. Learn to be positive and live in reality… don’t live in your imagination. The more positive you are, the longer you will be able to fly.

Live by the truth and really see how wonderful this life becomes. Baba has told us that Brahmin life is a diamond life. A diamond is the most precious object. To live this life at this time is very practical. Why are we all here? We are here to meet our Supreme parents face to face and to be together as a family. We also come together on special occasions such as retreats, to reassess our own stages and to make up anything that is lacking. At these times we get the chance to focus and to go deeper into different aspects of spirituality, meditation and dialogue. We get the chance to sharpen our own intellects and to keep evolving to higher and higher levels. After all, our aim is to reach, to regain, that highest stage of being like our Father – the stage of perfection in all aspects – full of spiritual strength and divine qualities – the flawless stage and the stage of being a bestower, a philanthropist. To become like this would be our greatest gift to the world. Christmas is the time for giving so become a bestower and share your treasures. Baba has told us that material gifts are limited but sharing spiritual wisdom with others is the greatest gift. Do this and life becomes a celebration which goes on and on…  During the Confluence this is the way to celebrate and that celebration will continue on through the Golden and Silver Ages until we forget ourselves. So now enrich yourself with Godly wisdom – play with the gems and share with others! The whole world would be able to appreciate and celebrate this Confluence Age if we share with them…

What does it mean to assess my own stage? It means to see how much I have inculcated virtues and conquered my weaknesses. To what percentage have I done this on the level of consciousness, speech and action? Have I come to the stage whereby I am able to live in a pure consciousness all the time? A stage where there is no negative thought in my mind? A thought may come and go but it doesn’t stay with me because I don’t keep on churning it. How far has my speech become divine? Do I speak like a deity? In the early days I saw how the original surrendered sisters had such a sweet way of speaking. Their vibrations were very sweet and very pure. One felt honoured to meet them. There was a great feeling of closeness  to them. I need to check myself: Do I have a feeling of friendly love with everyone? It doesn’t matter whether I am living in a centre or not, whether I am travelling, whether I am at work…. Some of those sisters had to return home to look after elderly relatives but they continued to live by Baba’s teachings. We are arranging programmes on the topic of ‘One God, One World Family’ but I need to see how much I have applied this awareness practically in my own life. Do I feel close to all others and do all others feel close to me? Do they feel that closeness, that love when they come in contact with me? Do I have a natural feeling of love toward the whole of humanity – no hatred towards anyone? BapDada is so positive towards everyone – even those who may have done something wrong. Baba has told us to be very positive to everyone – even someone who has hurt us. We need to think deeply about these things and realise that my own transformation will definitely help in the transformation of the world.

The message is being given through TV, radio and newspapers but in fact, we are all the best messengers Baba has. There are now 1 million BK’s, that is, there are 1 million teachers. One million teachers throughout the world can bring about change in the world. What is my responsibility in this? It is simply to inculcate Baba’s wisdom in my life – to be sincere and truthful to my own self.

Regarding service: Each artist presents his art in his own way. Each one does his or her best. We don’t know who will become instrumental for what in the future. Means of service change… there are new innovations and we need to be able to adapt to change. Refinement in service is happening but whether we are using science, art or another area as a medium to serve through, we need to remain true to our philosophy and to be clear to those we are serving. It is the truth that appealed to us and drew us here. It was peace and inner joy that brought us here. It was the experience of true, selfless love that pulled us here and these are the things that we need to base our service on and let others experience, because these are the things that will continue to draw people here.

Om shanti
