Revise Course Murli 12/11/1972
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.
Art to Perform Alokik Actions.
Have you become an avyakt image - that is, have you become an embodiment of the experience of a stable stage of being extraordinarily loving and detached while playing your part through that body? You are not constantly trying to maintain a balance of being the master and the child and playing the part, but you have quickly become an embodiment of this, have you not? Or is it that when you become the master, you forget to be the child, and when you become the child, you forget to be the master? Be the master in one moment and the child in the next. Can you be a karma yogi in one moment and then - in the next moment - go beyond the body and action and become a yogi merged in love?
Have both your thoughts and actions become equal? Or is there a difference between your thoughts and your actions? Have you developed the practice of creating a thought and instantly putting it into a practical form? Have you travellers of the pilgrimage of remembrance come that close? Do you experience both of these stages to be easy and close? Having had many experiences on the pilgrimage of remembrance, have you become knowledge-full and powerful? On a pilgrimage, you have milestones now and then from which you can tell how far you have come and how far you still have to go. So, too, how many milestones have you travellers of the pilgrimage of remembrance passed by? That is, how many stages of remembrance have you already passed?
What is the last and final stage? Can you see and know it as clearly as when something is close before you - so that you can see and recognise it? In the same way, can you see and know your destination clearly and quickly? Or is it still so far away that you cannot see it? Are you able to see it? Or do you only know it? Or have you come so close in front of it that it seems that you have reached your destination and are experiencing it for a short while? Do you have that experience? Then why don't you stay in that experience? Is it that you experience that stage but do not know how to maintain it?
Why are you not able to maintain that stage constantly? What is the reason? Services or actions performed by Brahmins are called 'alokik actions'. Such alokik actions - or Godly service - can never become instrumental in bringing your stage down. If a soul experiences coming down because of alokik actions, it does not know the art of performing alokik actions. Performers who show their talents in a circus show their talents in every action - their every action is an art. In the same way, can you elevate souls - who are karma yogis, constant yogis, easy yogis, and Raja yogis - not perform every action with the art of being loving and detached?
Just as so many people desire to see the art of those who use their physical bodies, so will the souls of the entire world come with the desire to see the art of your intellects and your alokik actions. So, will you not show this talent? Those people can mould every organ of their bodies as and how they wish, for as long as they wish: this is their art. In the same way, can all of you not stabilise your intellects for as long as you want, wherever you want, when you want? Theirs is a game of the physical body, whereas here, it is a matter of the intellect. Those who know this art become sixteen celestial degrees full.
With this art, you can automatically develop all the other arts. Such a soul-conscious stage efficiently cools down all the vices. In the same way, the art of the intellect can make you full of all virtues; that is, it can make you complete with all virtues. So, to what extent have you practised and experienced this art? If all of you were to receive the direction now - to become bodiless in a second - would you be able to do this? Can you stabilise yourself in this stage in a second? At a time when you are very busy performing actions, and you receive direction, then what should you do? It is also just as when a battle is about to begin, and you are given the order to leave your home at that moment: what do you have to do then? You have to do that. So, if BapDada suddenly gives you a direction to leave the home of your body - to leave the stage of body consciousness and to become soul conscious.. to go beyond this world to your sweet home - would you be able to do that?
You will not stop on the battlefield, will you? You will save your time on the battlefield - wondering whether you should go, will you? 'Will it be all right to go or not? Should I take this, or should I leave it behind?' You waste your time thinking about these things. In the same way, if you spend time battling when you have to become bodiless, what marks will you get, or into which division will you go in the final paper? If you remain battling, then will you go into the first division? Have you gone beyond and become ever-ready to this extent? By doing service, your stage becomes even more potent because it is your elevated stage that will transform the circumstances of the present time.
So, what is your aim of doing service? For what service are you doing? You are doing service to bring about transformation of the circumstances, are you not? If your stage remains ordinary while doing service, then is that service? There are four main subjects of the pilgrimage of remembrance, through which you can check how far you have come. Even now, some people have the same stage they had before: what is that stage? That of being separated (viyogi). The second stage is combining (yogis) after being separated. The third stage is becoming cooperative (sahyogi) after being yogis. After being cooperative, the last stage is being one who has renounced everything (sarva tyaagi).
While keeping all these four subjects in front of you, check how many steps you have climbed. To what extent have you climbed up? So, even now, you do not become separated (viyogi) again and again, do you? Do you move along while being constantly combined (yogi) and cooperative? If you have any obstacles, then to be influenced by the obstacles means to be separated (viyogi). So, you do not become separated, do you? Can obstacles finish the accurately-combined (yogyukt) stage? That would make you forget having an awareness of the Father. To forget means to become separated. So your stage of being combined (a yogi) should become constant.
Just as the soul and the body have a part together - so that they cannot be separated - in the same way, remembrance of the Father should not be separated from the intellect. To have constant company in the intellect - that is, remembrance of the Father: such a soul is called 'a yogi soul'. Any other awareness does not attract such souls. Just as those with less power cannot do anything in front of an elevated power, in the same way, if you remember the Almighty Authority, there cannot be a remembrance of anyone else in the intellect. Such ones are called easy and natural yogis.
Those people say this, but here you are, natural yogis, in a practical way. So, have you become such yogis? Such yogis are cooperative in every thought, every word, and every deed at every second. If they are cooperative in their thoughts but not in their deeds - or, if they are cooperative in their deeds but not in any one situation - then such souls are not called 'souls who have reached the stage of being cooperative'. If even one thought passes by without cooperation, then that is said to be a wasteful thought. Those who waste anything unnecessarily can never cooperate with anyone nor be powerful within themselves. But souls who are cooperative and renunciate - who easily renounce everything and everyone - are easily loved by all.
Since - even on the path of devotion - when people donate in the name of God, they attain a perishable royal status; then think how elevated the attainment will be of those who use their every thought and every second cooperatively for Godly service. Such souls quickly become great donors who have renounced everything. Such souls - who have renounced everything easily - become the most fortunate, at present and in the future. Not only in the future but when many souls see the elevated fortune of such souls, they sing the praise of their fortune from experiencing it. Based on their elevated fortune, they become instruments to enable others to become fortunate. So, see which stage you have reached out of these four subjects - how close you have come to your destination. Okay. To such easy and natural yogi souls: love, remembrance, and namaste from BapDada.
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.”
