Revise Course Murli 28/07/1971
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.
The Practice of Seeing the Incorporeal in the Subtle.
Have you practised seeing the celestial while looking at the human? Just as the Father only sees an incorporeal soul in a human form, have you become like the Father in the same way? The vision and attitude always go towards the elevated seed. So, what is elevated in this human form? The celestial soul. So, do you see the form (rup) or the spirit (ruh)? Now you know the difference (antar), and you also know the great mantra. You know it, and you have also seen it. What else remains? Have you developed the practice of stabilising yourself in this stage? (Each one related his own experience.) Should it be understood that you will still be practising the first lesson till the end? Will you be those still practising till the end, or will you become the embodiment?
How long before the end will this practice have finished and you have become embodiments? Will you still be practising even when you leave your bodies? When does the first lesson finish? Those who think they will still be practising until the end, raise your hands! Baba asks you about the first lesson of seeing the celestial in the human form. Do you see the celestial while looking at the human form? Who do you talk to? (To the incorporeal.) If, even at the end, you are still practising to see the celestial in the human, then you will not experience the bliss and happiness of the soul-conscious stage, of your original stage, at the confluence age.
When do you attain the inheritance of the confluence age? What is the inheritance of the confluence age? (Supersensuous happiness.) Will you receive this at the end when you are to return home? Do you not have the practice of moving along as a soul, as a metaphysical being? At present, is the attraction towards the human or subtle form, or does it go towards the soul? You see the soul, do you not? To see the celestial in the human form should become your natural and practical form. Will you even now see the body? It is the soul that you serve. When you eat food, do you feed the soul or eat it in body consciousness?
Do you go up and down the ladder? Do you enjoy playing the game of the ladder? Who enjoys going up and coming down? When little children see a ladder, they climb it and come down. So, will you still be in your childhood till the end? Will you not go into the stage of retirement? As the body retires, the sanskars of childhood gradually finish. When will this childhood game of going up and coming down continue? You will become an image that grants visions when you are in the celestial stage while in the human form. If you think you will continue to practise this till the end, you will become slack in making this first lesson firm.
You will not then be successful in experiencing the stage of having constant remembrance and being an embodiment. Will you be successful when you leave your body? No. You have to experience the stage of soul consciousness before the end. Just as you have naturally been aware of your body for many births, will you not experience your original form in the same way for a short while? Should it be like this? This first lesson will be completed. Only through this stage of soul consciousness will you become instrumental in giving visions to other souls. So you have to pay attention to this. To consider yourself a soul is to stabilise yourself in your form.
Similarly, when you say "Brahma Kumar or Brahma Kumari", do you forget Father Brahma or the form of being a B.K.? While moving along, do you forget that you are a Brahma Kumar? Since you do not forget this, then, as one who belongs to the clan of Shiva, why do you forget your form of a soul? You say "BapDada", do you not? When you say, "Shiv Baba", the celestial form comes before you. Just as the awareness of being a Brahma Kumar has become firm while walking and moving along, in the same way, why should you forget your form of belonging to the clan of Shiva? Is it that you have become Brahma Kumars and will be the form of those who belong to the clan of Shiva at the end?
Do you say "BapDada" for the combined form or each one individually? Since you say "BapDada" for the combined form, can you not remember both your forms: being a soul and a Brahma Kumar? You have to complete this practice beforehand. Many other things will be left till the end. You were told that many new exams would come at the end and that you would claim perfection by passing these exams. If you are not aware of the first lesson, you will not be able to claim the degree of perfection. What will happen if you do not claim the degree? There will be a decree from Dharamraj. So make this practice very firm.
You had the determination to remove even a thought of the first most of you have become victorious in that, have you not? Everything depends on your promise. Whatever you make a firm promise for, that promise will take on a practical form. What would the result be if you think this course will continue till the end? It would not take a practical form. It would still just remain as practice. You have to cross these things first. If you cross them at the end, when would you claim the inheritance of complete supersensuous joy? There are many aspects in which each one has, according to his capacity, put something into a practical form instead of still practising it: some in one aspect, some in another aspect.
For example, the aspect of lokik relations: some are still practising that, whereas others have put it into a practical form and are experiencing those relations as alokik and parlokik relations. It would help if you did not allow your vision or attitude to go to bodily relations, even in your dreams. Even the Pandavs have to cross this. When you are aware of changing the lokik into alokik, that is to bring benefit. You are going to stay in the Madhuban bhatti, are you not? So, you should pass on the first step of the ladder, should you not? Is it impossible for something that had not happened a moment ago to happen in this second?
You are the Pandavs of Madhuban, students of the University. You are not students of a small Gita Pathshala. So, you should have so much intoxication! Your study is so high. Show such wonders that those in whom people didn't have any hope a moment ago will have hope in them a moment later. What did the Mahavir Army do? They burnt the entire Lanka, so can you not cross this ladder? You have been told of the first step of the ladder. The second step is to become victorious over your physical senses.
The third step is to become victorious over your wasteful and sinful thoughts. That is the last step, but you should also have crossed the second step to say with zeal and enthusiasm that you have passed fully. The second step is straightforward. Since you have died alive, why is there an attraction to old physical senses? Since you have died alive, everything has finished, has it not? Just as it is shown in someone's horoscope that he will live till such an age and that he will then die, but that if he gives donations and performs charity, he will then begin his life again as though he has taken a new birth, so you have also died alive in this way, have you not? That is, you are dead to everything, are you not?
Your old life has now finished. You have now given birth to a new baby and become Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. So, is it possible that the Brahma Kumars and Kumaris have not yet conquered their physical senses? The past karmic accounts have now been settled. Since you have died alive since you have become Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, how can the physical senses influence you? In the new life of Brahma Kumars, you should be beyond the knowledge of what it is like to be influenced by the physical senses. Have you not yet died alive to become a shudra? Or are you becoming that now?
There isn't the slightest breath, that is, sanskar, of being a shudra trapped anywhere, is there? Some people's breath may be hidden somewhere, and it emerges again after some time. Is it the same here? Would you say that you have died alive if your old sanskars are still trapped somewhere? If you have not died alive, how can you be called Brahma Kumars? You have died alive, have you not? However, Maya, in the form of the thoughts in the mind, only comes after you become a Brahma Kumar. Would a Shudra Kumar have any Maya? Why do you become confused? Say that you have died alive.
You have challenged Maya after dying alive; this is why Maya comes. Why do you not say you will battle with Maya and become victorious? You are Mahavirs, and so at least maintain your intoxication all the time. When you consider yourselves Brahma Kumars, you can cross the second step of the ladder of being beyond the attraction of the physical senses. By being both a Brahma Kumar and a Shiv Kumar, you will never fail because, when you consider yourself a Brahma Kumar, you also have an awareness of the task and the virtues of a Brahma Kumar. So you have had this bhakti to cross the second and third steps and come close to the stage of passing with honours.
So, together with finishing the bhatti, you also have to finish this. A stage is created based on the place. The place, Madhuban, is such that it changes your stage. The place affects one's stage. Each one has so much intoxication in his place. Do people not have the intoxication of their own country and limited residence? If someone is living in a large mansion or a palace, that place would surely affect the stage. So, all of you are in the most elevated place, which should also affect your stage. You are residents of the elevated land of blessings, so you should make your stage one that constantly gives to others.
Only those who are images that grant visions can give blessings. Even when devotees receive blessings, they receive them through an image that grants visions.
So, you can only become images that grant blessings by becoming a practical form of the images that grant visions. You have to become bestowers, children of the Bestower: not ones who take but give. You have to give at every second, through every thought. When you become a bestower, what is the main virtue of a bestower? Generous hearted. Can those who are instruments to uplift others not uplift themselves? Constantly think that you are children of the Bestower and should not stay without giving for even a second. Such a soul is called a great bestower.
Your door for giving should always be open, just as the doors of a temple are always open. It is nowadays that they close them. In the same way, the door for giving by the children of the Bestower can never be closed. Check at every second and in every thought whether you gave something and did not take anything. Continue to give. You have to take from the Father. You have already taken that. You now have to give. Is there anything still left for you to take? You have taken everything you had to, and it remains for you to give. The busier you remain in giving, the easier it will be to cross the things that you find very difficult because you automatically attain great power by becoming the great bestower. So this task is good.
The treasure store is full of giving. Have you passed fully in this? Continue to tick that in which you have passed fully. And if you still have to pass fully, make sure you have passed fully when you come out of the bhatti. The more you become a bestower, the fuller your store will become. If your treasure store is full, why should you not become bestowed? Such souls are called constant, spiritual servers. So emerge from this bhatti as constant, spiritual servers. You must have renunciation to be a server. By being a server, you will quickly and automatically be able to have renunciation. This is the method to keep yourself constantly busy.
The more accessible you keep yourself in your thoughts, with your intellect and with physical service, the more chances Maya receives. If you keep yourself busy, physically and subtly, Maya will not get any chance. Check the days when you carry out the physical tasks with interest, and you will find that Maya does not come, that is, if you did everything as a deity. If you did it as a human being, you are given a chance by Maya. However, be a server, be a deity and keep yourself busy with enthusiasm out of your interest; then see, Maya will not come to you. You will experience happiness.
Because of your happiness, Maya does not dare to oppose you. So, have the practice of remaining busy. When you see that your intellect is free someday, you should become your teacher and make your intellect work. You keep diaries of the physical things you must do: you create programmes of what you must do throughout the day, and you then check that. In the same way, you should have a daily schedule to keep your intellect busy. By having a programme, you will be able to progress. If you do not have a programme, no task will succeed at the right time. It would help if you kept a daily diary because all of you are the most important.
Important people fix their programs before going anywhere. So consider yourselves children of the most incredible Father and fix a programme for every second. Whatever you make a promise for has willpower. If you think about it, there is no willpower in that, so you have to promise to do it. It should not be: We will see about it and do it at some point. You have to do it. No matter how much physical work you may have to do, you can carry it out by making a promise, are you not? If you don't have such a strong thought, if you have the thought of not doing something, then you will never accomplish that task.
Then there will be many excuses. You can make the time by making a promise, and the excuses are removed. Today, I have to make the intellect work according to this programme. You have to make such a promise. Many problems, wasteful thoughts that don't allow you to make an effort, laziness, etc., will come, but with willpower, you can confront them and become victorious. It would help if you made a daily diary for this. Then, see how everyone can see the spirit that gives spiritual comfort to everyone. The spirit is the soul and also the essence. So, you will become both. There will be attraction to the divine virtues, that is, to the essence, and your form of the soul will also be visible.
You must have such an aim. Forget the form and be aware of the spirit: you must have this awareness when you come out of this bhatti. There should be the experience as though the body is a box, and there is love for and relationship with the diamond inside it. You should have such an experience. So, by taking the support of the residents, create your stage. 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.”
