Revise Course Murli 31/12/1970
The Incorporeal point of light, God Shiva, has descended on this earth and is establishing righteousness (Dharma) through knowledge and power.
One should read the Murli in a soul-conscious state as taught by The Supreme Teacher and Sadhguru Shiv Baba. Thoughts to create the soul conscious state are as follows:
1. I am a Peaceful Soul; God Shiva is my Supreme Father.
2. I am a Godly student; God Shiva is my Supreme teacher.
3. God Shiva is my Sadhguru; I am Master Sadhguru.
4. God Shiva is my life partner; I am God Shiva's life partner.
The Soul conscious stage/yoga stage becomes natural when all relations are established with Shiva Baba, and the duty of that relation is practised in the Brahmin life.
While in the Soul-Conscious stage, Murli should be read with the feeling that the Supreme Teacher and Sadhguru Shiv Baba are talking to me directly and teaching me personally.
Experimenting With the Power of Transformation from Amrit Vela.
Today, BapDada sees the ones of the present and the future who have a right to the kingdom of the world; that is, he sees the children as world benefactors and as those who have a right to the kingdom of the world. To the extent that you become a world benefactor, you become one who has a right to the kingdom of the world. To attain both rights, you especially need the power of self-transformation. The other day, too, you were told how to use the power of transformation in your activities from amrit vela until night. As soon as you open your eyes, the first transformation is: I am not this body but a soul.
This is the first transformational thought at the beginning of the day. The timetable for the whole day is based on this first thought. If there has yet to be a transformation in your first thought, then throughout the day, you will not be able to be successful in your self-sovereignty or in bringing about world benefit. Use the power of transformation from the first moment of the day. Just as at the beginning of the world, deity souls and Satopradhan souls come from the Brahm element to play their part, so, every day, Amrit vela is the first moment of the day. Therefore, in this first moment of the day, as soon as you wake up, the first thought you should remember to have is: I, this Brahmin soul, have incarnated to celebrate a meeting with the Father.
This powerful thought will become the basis for elevated thoughts, words, and actions. The first transformation is: Who am I? So, this foundation is the basis for the power of transformation. After this, the second transformation: To whom do I belong? With whom do I have all relationships? From whom do I receive all attainments? First of all, there is the transformation of the body. Then, there is the transformation of the relationships of the body, and then, based on relationships, there is the transformation of attainments. This transformation is called easy remembrance. So, you can claim all rights from the beginning based on transformation's power.
After Amrit vela, while carrying out all your physical activities of the body, which transformation is necessary, through which you can become a constant and easy yogi? Always think: I am a living, most elevated idol, and this is a temple. This body is the living temple of the living idol, and I am decorating the temple. BapDada's most beloved idol is seated in this temple. And BapDada himself turns the beads of the rosary of the virtues of this idol. The Father himself praises this idol. This is a unique temple of such a particular idol. To the extent that an idol is valuable, the value of the temple is based on that value of the idol. So, what is the transformation you have to bring about?
This is not my body but the temple of BapDada's valuable idol. You are the idol, and you must continue to decorate the temple as the trustee of the temple. Based on this transformational thought, the consciousness of 'mine', that is, body consciousness, will be transformed. After this, always have the form of your being a Godly student in your consciousness. What is the special transformational thought you need for this? The thought through which the study of every second and imbibing every invaluable word create elevated rewards for the present and future every second. For this, you constantly need the transformational thought: I am not an ordinary student, and this is not an ordinary study, but the Father himself comes every day from a faraway land to teach me directly. The versions of God are my study.
The elevated directions (shrimat) of the One who is doubly elevated are our study; every word of this study enables me to accumulate an income of multi-millions. If you do not imbibe just one word, then you have not just missed a word, but you have missed out on earning an income of multi-millions, on an elevated reward for many births, and on attaining an elevated status. You should have transformational thoughts: God is speaking, and I am listening to him. The Father has come for me in the form of the Teacher. I am a special, beloved student. This is why Baba has come for me. Where has he come from? Who has come? And what is he teaching? Imbibe these elevated transformational thoughts during class every day and then study.
This is not an ordinary class. Do not see the person relating the words to you, but remember whose words they are; keep that One before you. See the celestial Father and the Avyakt Father in human form. So, do you understand what transformation you have to bring about? Let us go further. We have studied. What do we have to do now? Now, we come to the part of service. In service, whatever type of service it is, whether of the household, your interaction with others, or Godly service, if your household and your lokik relationships are based on karmic bondages while doing service in the household, have the transformational thought: I am now living a life where I have died alive, that is, Lokik karmic bondages have now finished.
Please do not continue to move along while considering them karmic bondages. You become tied in that bondage by thinking and saying, "karmic bondage, karmic bondage". However, now, because you are living a life where you have died alive, then, according to shrimat, the relationships of lokik karmic bondages are now the basis for relationships for service. They are not karmic bondages but relationships for service. In relationships for service, if you continue to move along, having imbibed knowledge of the variety types of souls and having relationships for service, you will not be troubled by those bondages.
No matter how sinful a soul may be, how detrimental he may be - they may be like storks - do not have feelings of hatred. Do not distaste and do not be disrespectful to them, but stabilise yourself in the stage of a world benefactor, be merciful and have feelings of compassion and serve them, considering them to be relationships for service. Then, if you serve hopeless cases, you will claim a right to as many prizes. You will be remembered as a famous world benefactor. You will claim the prize of a peace-maker. So while living at home with the family, have this transformational thought: Instead of karmic bondages, they are relationships for service.
However, while doing service, do not develop attachments. Sometimes, even doctors become attached to their patients. 'Relationships for service' means to have the form of a Tyaagi (a renunciate) and a Tapaswi (one engaged in deep meditation). The qualifications of an actual server are renunciation and tapasya. In the same way, in your interaction, you are doing that according to the directions for the livelihood of the body, but the principal basis should be for the livelihood of the soul; do not forget the livelihood of the soul because of the livelihood of the body. While interacting (one living in the world with all responsibilities), there should be a balance between the soul's and body's livelihood.
Otherwise, the interaction will become a net of Maya. The more you spread such a net, the more you will be trapped. While increasing your wealth, you should remember the method of remembrance. The method (vidhi) of remembrance and wealth increase (Vrudhi) should go together. Do not leave aside the method (vidhi) in trying to increase your wealth. This is called Transforming from Lokik, physical karma, into the stage of being a karma yogi. You are not those who perform karma, but you are karma yogis. Karma means interaction, and yoga means for the sake of God; that is, you are doing it to serve the Supreme Father, the Supreme Soul.
So, there should be interaction and doing something for the sake of God. This is called being karma yogis who follow shrimat. What transformation do you have to bring about while interacting? I am not just someone who interacts, but one who interacts as well as one who does something for the sake of God (Parmarth – for the sake of God); that is, whatever I am doing, I am doing it for the sake of Godly service. I am a combined form of interacting and doing it for the sake of God. If you have this transformational thought constantly in your consciousness, your mind and body will continue to earn a double income.
You will continue to receive physical wealth and accumulate imperishable wealth through the mind. At one moment, in one body, you can earn a double income through the mind and the body. So always remember that you earn a double income. In this Godly service, constantly think of the mantra of being an instrument and being karanhar, who does everything. It would help if you did not forget Karavanhar (the One who gets everything done through others). Then, in service, you will constantly continue to be constructive. Okay.
Now, we move a little further. You connect with many types of people, including things and material comforts. In this, too, instead of having human feelings for people, imbibe feelings for the soul. Imbibe an attitude that is free from attraction to things and material comforts. The things and material comforts will then serve as servants for those with an attitude free from attraction. However, those attracted to such things will be trapped by them like a magnet. Then, you would not be able to become free even if you wish to. Therefore, in connection with things and material comforts, transform that into feelings of the soul and an attitude free from attraction.
Go even further! When you see any attractive scenes of the old world or when you use the facilities provided for temporary happiness, then while seeing those scenes or using those facilities, you sometimes forget your spiritual endeavour (sadhana) and become caught up in the facilities. You become influenced by the facilities. Spiritual endeavour based on the instruments (Sadhan) is like constructing a building on a foundation of sand. What would the state of that be? It will repeatedly fluctuate in an upheaval. The condition of it would be that it is about to collapse. Therefore, bring about the transformation of the instruments being perishable and your spiritual endeavour being imperishable.
You cannot have imperishable spiritual endeavours based on perishable instruments. The instruments are just to be used for their sake, but your spiritual endeavour is the basis of construction. So do not give importance to the instruments, but, instead, give importance to the spiritual endeavour. Always be aware that you are an embodiment of success, not an embodiment of the instruments. Spiritual endeavour will enable you to attain success. Remember being the embodiment of success by being attracted to the instruments. While seeing all lokik things, while listening to all lokik things and all lokik scenes, transform the lokik into the alokik, that is, become an embodiment of knowledge and take the aspects of knowledge from everything.
Do not engross yourself in those things, but go into the depths of their knowledge. So, do you understand what transformation you have to bring about? Okay. Now, go even further. What else now remains? Your sleeping still remains (sona - to sleep, gold). Sona means to go to sleep in the golden world. Now, transform your way of sleeping. Do not sleep on your bed. So, where will you sleep instead? You will sleep in the lap of Baba's remembrance. In your dreams, tour around the world of angels. So transform your dreams and also transform your sleeping. Change everything from the beginning to the end. Do you understand how you have to use the power of transformation?
This New Year's gift is the power of transformation. Self-transformation and world transformation: With the lift of this gift, you will bring the time of world transformation to a close. Everyone gives greetings for the New Year, but BapDada congratulates you for constantly bringing about newness in the intensity of your efforts. Congratulations for the newness of the New Year, for the new sanskars, a new nature, new zeal, and enthusiasm, for having the elevated thought of making the world new, and for constantly having the elevated thought of giving everyone the blessing of liberation and liberation-in-life. Congratulations on saying goodbye to the old sanskars, the old behaviour, the old supports, and everything of the old. Okay.
To those who bring about world transformation and their transformation with the power of transformation through their every action, to those who make every second, every thought, and every action new, that is, golden-aged, to those who make them elevated and satopradhan, to those who show a new miracle in the self and the world in the new year, to those who quickly make possible that which is even now considered impossible for the self and the world, to such souls who are constantly embodiments of success, to such elevated souls who have the attainment of all success, love, remembrance and namaste from BapDada. Okay.
The method taught by the Supreme Teacher and Sadguru Shiv Baba after reading Murli is "Churning."
Shiv Baba explained the method of churning in four Murlis.
01.02.1979
23.12.1987
10.01.1988
07.04.1981
The power of churning is the food for the divine intellect.
"What is the essence of each statement? At what time and by what method should each sentence be used in action? And by what method should each sentence be used in action in service to other souls?" - Each sentence should be churned in these four ways.
By churning the knowledge, we will have powerful thoughts, stage, and awareness.
By churning the knowledge, we will automatically remember The bestower of knowledge, Shiv Baba.
To know the thoughts used for churning, see the column heading “Treasure of Powerful Thoughts.”
