Revise Course Murli 11/07/1972

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.

Test of Increasing Decision Power - "Realising the Character of the Father".

Knowing the specialities of the present time, have you imbibed all the powers and made yourself a unique soul? Just as you speak of the specialities of this time, in the same way, do you see those specialities in yourself? Are there as many specialities in the self (swayam) as there are of the time (samay)? Or, is it that there are more specialities of the time and less of the self? How much difference do you think there is between the time and the self? Is there a difference? Are you powerful? Or is time powerful? ('At present, the time is powerful, though the self should be powerful.') If you say, 'It should be this,' then what is the difference between gyani and weak souls of the world and you gyani souls - you master almighty authority souls?

Even those people say, 'It should be like this, it should be like that.' What is the difference if you say, 'It should be like this'? That is the difference between those who know and those who don't: people say that it should be like this or that, whereas knowledgeable souls do not say this, but they demonstrate it practically. Those people speak about it, whereas knowledgeable souls do it practically. That is the difference. They speak about it, whereas you do it. If you, even now, say, 'it should be like this', then what is the difference? Ask yourself: 'What are the specialities of the time? And out of those specialities, what specialities do I lack in myself?

If even one speciality is missing, would I be able to be on the list of special souls? I would not, would I?' Make a list of the specialities of this time and you will be able to see many specialities. Out of those specialities, what is the elevated speciality of this time? This is the time of the Confluence Age that we are passing through. It is the time to become elevated, but what is the greatness of this time that cannot exist at any other time? The speciality of the Confluence Age is that every second of it is a sweet mela in which souls meet with the Father. No other age has this speciality, which you call the meeting of the Father and the children. Do you constantly imbibe this speciality in yourself as you move along?

Just as every second of the Confluence Age is a mela, in the same way, do you experience yourself celebrating a meeting with the Father every second? Or, while moving along in this elevated mela, do you sometimes let go of BapDada's hand and thereby deprive yourself of the mela and of celebrating a meeting? Sometimes, some children get lost in a mela: they let go of their parents' hand. A mela is for celebrating with happiness. If some children in a mela become separated from their parents or let go of their parent's hand, then what attainment will they have? Instead of happiness, they will become even more anxious. So, look at yourself: 'Am I constantly experiencing the attainment of happiness in the mela? Am I constantly celebrating a meeting?'

What would indicate those who are constantly celebrating happiness? What would their speciality be? What would indicate those who stay in the super-sensuous joy of constantly celebrating a meeting? What would their speciality be? Those constantly absorbed in celebrating a meeting will never become caught up with any obstacle. The meeting removes obstacles: such souls will be destroyers of obstacles. A meeting is said to be with deep love. If any obstacle comes, and you become influenced by the obstacle, then what does that signify? That you are not constantly celebrating a meeting.

You tell others to recognise the time and to take advantage of the time. So, do you give this warning to yourself? Or do you give this warning to others? When you give yourself this warning, you cannot avoid a meeting for even one second. You will celebrate a meeting at every second. When a huge mela takes place, its time is fixed – 'this mela is going to last for this long' - and then it finishes. A huge mela takes place for a very short time, and so what would you do? You would try to celebrate in that mela. In the same way, if you do not celebrate the mela of the Confluence Age, will this mela occur at any other time? It is only in this short time that the mela (meeting) of the Father with the children takes place, so what should you do in this mela for a short time?

It would help if you celebrated it every second. So, while knowing of the specialities of the time, imbibe those specialities in yourself, and you will automatically become an elevated soul. Everyone aims to become an elevated soul. While aiming to become elevated souls, why are your efforts ordinary? If your aim is elevated, why are your qualifications those of an ordinary soul? What is the reason for this? It would help if you remembered the aim. How can those who keep an aim forget their aim? Why is the power to find a solution to any problem lacking? What is the reason for this? Why are you not able to find a solution? It would help if you found a solution to achieve your aim.

So, why is the power to find a solution lacking? For those following shrimat: as is their aim, so will their qualifications. So, if your aim is elevated, and your qualifications are ordinary, what is the reason for that? It is because you cannot find a solution to the obstacles. What is the reason for not finding solutions? Which power is missing? ('the power to discern') That is right. It would help if you found a solution before you can discern. But if you can discern something, you will then be able to find a solution. However, something is missing in your being able to discern.

And why are you not able to discern?

It is because you are not free from negative thoughts, because of having wasteful or negative thoughts in your intellect, or because your intellect is unclear. You are not able to discern. And, because you cannot discern, you cannot find a solution. Because you cannot find a solution, you become influenced by something else. What is the easy method you have been given? Just as you have a yardstick to recognise gold, and you can tell from that whether it is real gold or false, in the same way, what yardstick do you have in front of you to increase your power to discern? The yardstick is Sakar Baba's every activity and character.

Whatever actions you perform and thoughts you have, if you check yourself against this yardstick - whether they are accurate or not, whether they are wasteful or powerful - then, after checking yourself against this yardstick, they will become easy and elevated. You find it takes effort to keep this yardstick with you. You need to remember the easy method. Because of this, you are unable to find liberation from obstacles. What would happen if a goldsmith needed a proper yardstick? He would be deceived. In the same way, if you don't constantly have this yardstick with you in your awareness, then you experience difficulty. It is easy.

In that case, does it become problematic? You do not use the method you have been given. If you use this method, then you will have liberation. Whether there are storms through thoughts - or whether there are storms or obstacles through any relationships, matter or problems - the reason for not experiencing liberation from those is that you don't use the correct method. It helps you become accurate in the method (yuktiyukt). The more accurate you are in yoga (yogyukt)and method (yuktiyukt), the more you will become liberated from all obstacles. So, are you free from all obstacles? Or do you get caught up with them?

You become caught up with obstacles because you need to remain accurate in yoga (yogyukt). When you give lectures or explain to anyone, when you have any programmes, what is the main thing you tell everyone? 'Liberation and liberation-in-life is your birthright. So, since it is your birthright, then attain it!' Then you say: 'If not now, then never!' So, have you attained this main slogan of liberation and liberation-in-life as your birthright? You have become the children and yet not claimed the right? You explain to others: 'As soon as you become a child, you claim a right to the inheritance'. Is this something you explain to others, or is it something to do practically?

It is a different matter to be worthy, but have you received the inheritance of liberation and liberation in life? Have you attained it here? Or, will you receive liberation in the land of liberation and liberation in life in heaven? You will receive it in the future anyway, but - together with the future - you haven't received liberation and liberation- in life now. But, since you have found the Father, you will receive the inheritance, too. So, are you moving along on the assurance of the future? ('We have received a cheque) Children are not given a cheque. Children have a right to everything of the Father. Those who have a right should be given the assurance of a check.

The practical inheritance is received at this time. Liberation-in-life is experienced at the same time as being in bondage in life. There, there is no question of bondage in life. There, you would be in the state of that reward. In the land of liberation, you will not be able to have the experience of liberation that you can experience now. So, do not think you will receive a right to liberation and liberation-in-life in the future: no. Since you have become the children, you have also received your inheritance. However, you can become obedient and faithful in several ways and follow all instructions.

You become one who has a right to the inheritance. It depends on each one's stage how you adopt that inheritance in your life and benefit from it. The Father does not make any difference in giving the inheritance. The difference is created by your being worthy or unworthy. This is why it is said: 'You constantly attain your birthright by yourself'. You should be constantly liberated, should you not? Be free from the body and the relationships of the body, and also be free from the awareness of the old world. Have you become free? If you experience the stage of liberation, then - after being liberated - you will automatically experience being liberated in life because you are living your life. You are a bodily being.

While living this life, you are free from the body, bodily relationships, and attractions of the old world. This is called 'the stage of being liberated in life'. So, it would help if you experienced liberation and liberation in life now rather than in the future. In the future, you will continue to receive the reward of attaining this time. However, the attainment is to be experienced at this time first. It is understood that in the future, that is the reward of your elevated actions, but it is now that you perform them. So, the experience of attainment will also be at this time. Do not simply keep yourself assured of the future. Do more than keep checking yourself while keeping the check with yourself! Do not do this.

Look at yourself: 'To what extent am I moving along with the inheritance I have received from the Father?' The Father has given it. No one can snatch the inheritance away from someone with a right to it. So, maintain the intoxication and faith that you have a right; check that you are not wasting the inheritance you have received somewhere. Many children receive a lot but also lose a lot. Because of losing it, although you receive something, you remain a beggar - because you become dependent while having a right. When you don't have a right, you will be dependent.

You become influenced by obstacles because you have yet to receive a right. If you constantly move along as one with a right, you cannot be influenced by any obstacle. Do not become dependent on matter. Just as the Father takes the support of matter but does not become dependent on it, in the same way, you have to move along while making that body and these elements your support and not being dependent on them. Okay. Have you seen the game of aerobics? Those in the bhatti demonstrated aerobics very well today. Now, in the completion, all the weaknesses will also be finished, will they not? You will then not play these games, will you?

To those who constantly maintain the faith and intoxication of a right to liberation and liberation-in-life.. to the souls who become elevated by adopting all types of greatness: love, remembrance, and namaste.

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

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.”
