Revise Course Murli 08/06/1972

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.

Discerning the Final Complete Stage.

Do you consider yourselves to be destroyers of obstacles? When any obstacle comes in front of you, do you experience within yourself the power to face that obstacle? That is, through your effort, do you experience yourself being close to BapDada and your complete stage? Or, do you experience yourself standing in the same place? Just as a traveller never stops anywhere, in the same way, do you consider yourself to be a traveller of the night and continue to move along? What main virtue of the perfect stage is visible in your practical action? Or, what is the particular virtue of the perfect stage - through which you can recognise whether you are close to your perfect stage or far away?

Now, stabilise yourself in your perfect stage, and tell Baba what particular virtue reveals the perfect stage. When a soul has created the stage of perfection, what is the praise of his practical action? That of equanimity. When there is stability - praise and defamation, victory and defeat, happiness and sorrow - it is called "the stage of equanimity" or "the stage of perfection". Even at times of sorrow, waves of happiness and joy should be visible instead of waves of sorrow being visible on your face and forehead. Hearing defamation should not be experienced as praiseful words to strengthen your stage of perfection.

There should be such equanimity. This is called "the stage of closeness to BapDada". Your vision and your attitude should remain the same. There should not be the attitude that someone is an enemy, that someone insults you, or that another praises you. Let there be a well-wisher's attitude and a benefactor's vision. To be the same to both types is known as having equanimity. When there isn't stability - that is, balance - you cannot experience bliss from the Father for yourself. Baba is the blissful One. If you wish to experience bliss or take bliss from the Father, then there is only one method: let there constantly be an accurate balance of love and power.

When there is an accurate balance of both aspects, you will automatically continue to receive bliss. Do you need to learn how to maintain an accurate balance? What is the speciality of tightrope walkers? That of keeping their balance. It may be ordinary, but the wonder is keeping one's balance. You have seen the act of tightrope walking, have you not? Here, too, the wonder is of maintaining an accurate balance. However, you need to keep an accurate balance. When you hear praise, you become even more intoxicated, and when you hear defamation, you have dislike. There should neither be intoxication through praise nor dislike through defamation.

If the two are well balanced, then - when you look at yourself as a detached observer - you will experience wonders. You will experience contentment in yourself. And others will also be content with your actions. However, because you are lacking in this effort and lack balance, you do not have the blissful life you should have. So, what should you do now? Keep an accurate balance. There are many such pairs of things: to be loving and detached, praise and defamation. This is your family path. The soul and the body are also two. Bap and Dada are also two. World transformation takes place through the activities of both. So, the family path is eternal and imperishable.

In a lokik household, too, if one is moving along well, and the other is slack - that is, if there is no accurate balance - then there is conflict and time is wasted. Then, you cannot attain the elevated attainment that you should. What would you call those who walk with only one foot? Crippled. Would such a person be able to take a high jump? Or run fast? So, in this, too, if there isn't stability, what would you call such effort-makers? If, in your efforts, you have greater attainment through one thing and experience a weakness in something else, then you should understand that you will not be able to take a high jump. You will not be able to run. So, when you cannot take a high jump or run, how will you come close to perfection?

You develop this weakness, which you also speak about. At the time of giving love, power is merged. And at the time of needing power, love becomes merged. So that is not an accurate balance, then. When there is an accurate balance of the two, then this is called a wonder. If one is more powerful at one time and the other at another, that is a different matter. However, when there is an accurate balance of both simultaneously, this is known as perfection. If one is merged, and the other has emerged, only one creates an influence. The Shaktis are always portrayed with equanimity in two virtues: being both loving and embodiments of power.

In their eyes, there is constant love, and in their actions, they are embodiments of power. So, those artists also know that they were the Shiv Shaktis who kept a balance by having stability of both virtues. This is why they portray such feelings in their images. Those images have only been created because you have been that in the practical form. So, now remove this weakness because only then will the influence that should be created occur. Now, there is little impact because one aspect creates a more significant influence than the other. They speak of one thing, but they cannot speak of all virtues, of everything.

However, you have to become full of all virtues, do you not? So, bring perfection close in this way. Similarly, you show the cooperation between dharma and karma. People separate the two, whereas you show the cooperation between the two. So, while acting, let there be religion(dharma) - that is, complete imbibing (dharna) - and then, because the balance of dharma and karma is accurate, the impact will be more significant. While performing actions, you become engrossed in your actions, but what would you call that if you still need complete dharna? You tell people that the lives and situations of today have become like they are because dharma and karma have been separated.

So, ask yourself: is there stability in dharma and karma - that is, in your dharna and actions? Or, do you forget while performing actions, and when your karma finishes, you become aware of the dharna? At the time when you remain very busy in karma, do you also have dharna? Or is your dharna only powerful when the karma is light? When there is dharna to a greater extent, does the karma become slack? Only when both the pans of a balance work accurately does the balance have any value. Otherwise, the balance has no value. The balance is the intellect. If someone has an accurate balance of the two aspects of the intellect, then that one would be called "one with an elevated intellect", a "divine intellect", and "a sharp intellect".

Otherwise, it is an ordinary intellect. Then your karma and dharna are both ordinary. So, you do not have to bring about stability in being ordinary, but let there be tranquillity in being elevated. Just as your karma is elevated, in the same way, your dharna also has to be elevated. Karma should not merge dharna - that is, dharma - and dharna should not merge the karma. So dharma and karma should be equal in being elevated: such a soul is called "a righteous soul" (dharmatma). Whether you call someone "a righteous soul", "a great soul" (mahan-atma), or "a karma yogi", it is the same thing. Have you become such a righteous soul? Have you become such a karma yogi? Have you become blissful in this way?

It would help if you stayed in solitude but also have an entertaining nature to the same extent. Sometimes, you should be in solitude, and sometimes you should be entertaining. There is a lot of difference between these words, but in the stage of perfection, there should be stability between the two. It would help if you were entertaining to the extent that you remain in solitude. Your entertaining nature should stay active while in solitude. Both should exist at the same time to the same extent. When you become entertaining, you say you have come down from being introverted. And when you become introverted, you ask how it is possible to be entertaining.

However, both should exist simultaneously. You should be in solitude one moment and be entertaining the next moment. You should be harmonious, to the same extent that you are mature and serious. It should not be that you remain an image of maturity and seriousness. To be harmonious means to be in harmony with the sanskars and nature of everyone. Maturity does not mean that you remain distant and don't meet everyone. Anything in its extreme is not good. When something goes to its extreme, it is called a storm. If one virtue is like a storm, and another is merged, is that right? No. So, have such powerful dharna within yourself that you can stabilise yourself wherever you want.

It should not be that you cannot stabilise the foot of your intellect - that, when there isn't an accurate balance, you cannot stabilise yourself, but you sometimes fall in one place and sometimes in another place, or you continue to fluctuate. The reason for this fluctuation of the intellect is that there is no stability - you are not complete. Anything full cannot shake. There is shaking when something is lacking - when something is not complete. So, this upheaval of wasteful thoughts - or Maya - occurs when something is incomplete. When you are full, and there is stability between the two, there cannot be any fluctuation.

So, to save yourself from any upheaval, continue to become complete, and you will become perfect. It is impossible for there not to be any impact or influence from anything perfect and complete. When the moon is 16 celestial degrees full, it attracts everyone towards itself against their conscious wish. When anything is complete, it automatically attracts towards itself. So, you cannot attract all the world's souls because of your lack of perfection. To the extent that you have weaknesses within yourself, you cannot attract other souls towards yourself. When the degrees of the moon have decreased, no one's attention goes to it.

But when it becomes full, everyone's attention goes to it, even against their wish. Whether someone deliberately looks at it or not, it is still visible. In perfection, there is the power to influence. So, to be influential, you have to become complete. Do you understand? Okay. When the balance is incorrect, and you watch the games of fluctuation as a detached observer, you will be very amused with yourself. It will be just as when someone is not fully aware of himself, and you become amused at his activity. So, also look at yourself when Maya makes you a little bit unconscious - that is, when she makes you lose the awareness of your elevated stage.

What was your condition at that time? Does that scene come in front of you? If you look at yourself as a detached observer at that time, then you would be amused. BapDada watches the games of each child as a detached Observer. And so, do you like showing such games? You know what BapDada wants to see. Since you know and accept it, why do you not move along that way? What will happen if three corners are fine and the other is not? You know about the four things - you accept and speak about them - but you observe following some, not others. And so something will be lacking, will it not? Now, try to fill in that gap.

You have been told about pairs of things. In the same way, with knowledge-full and power, if you keep an accurate balance of these two, then perfection will come close. You become very knowledge-full but not so powerful, so the balance is not acceptable. The Shaktis are shown balanced with powers - they are shown giving blessings. But if your balance is not correct - if you are unable to have balance in yourself - then how will you be able to be master- blissful for others? At present, all are beggars in this. Apart from Shiva and the Shaktis, no one else is a bestower and a great donor of bliss. So, whether you are a bestower or a great donor, you should be complete in that because only then will you be able to give to others. To such master knowledge-full, blissful, and just as careful, elevated souls: 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.”
