Revise Course Murli 10/05/1972

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.

Obeying the Orders by Living in Self-Respect.

Do you consider yourselves to have the courage to stay in your stage of self-respect and also to be able to follow Baba's instructions? To remain stable in your stage of self-respect and to follow instructions, do you consider yourself to be doing both these things all right? If you stabilise yourself in your stage of self-respect, then there will be something or the other needing to follow the instructions. Therefore, stabilise yourself in both aspects accurately and create such a stage for all time. You Brahmins have to stabilise yourselves in the most elevated stage of self-respect of the present confluence age.

By remaining stable in this one elevated stage of self-respect, all the different types of arrogance are quickly and automatically finished. In some cases, while doing service or making an effort, you make a very tiny mistake of just one word, which makes more mistakes. The seed of all mistakes is the weakness of one word. What is that word? You remove the word self from self-respect. You forget your self-respect. And, by then, wanting respect, you forget the instructions. You have the instructions to stabilise yourself in your self-respect, but by wanting respect, the instructions are finished.

You make many more mistakes by making the mistake of this one word. Then, when you want respect, your way of speaking, walking, etc., everything changes. Just by cutting out one word, you cut yourself off from your original stage. When you come to such a stage, the result is that when you make an effort or do service, you have to labour more and yet receive very little instant fruit. You cannot become the embodiment of success that you should, and because of not being the embodiment of success, because you do not attain success, what is the result? You make a lot of effort and become tired as you move along. As your enthusiasm decreases, you become lazy.

And when there is laziness, all its other companions will also come. Laziness comes with all its companions; it does not come alone. Just as Baba does not come alone, he is revealed with his children; in the same way, these vices do not come alone but with their companions. Therefore, what becomes of your stage when the vices exist because you disobey many instructions? You have a desire for one thing or another. By cutting out just one word, neither you are content nor can you make others content. Therefore, when you are making an effort for self-progress or when you put any plan of service into a practical form, before you create the plan and put it into a practical form, stabilise yourself in your stage of self-respect, and then make any plans or put them into a practical form.

Refrain from making plans while letting go of your stage. What will happen if you create plans and let go of your stage? There will be no power left. Without any power, what will the influence of those plans be in a practical form? You do a lot of service and bring about a lot of expansion, but you let go of the seed stage. By going into the expansion, you let go of the essence. Therefore, do not let go of the essence. You need to learn how to merge the expansion, that is, how to become the embodiment of the essence. You get caught up with quantity; you must keep your quality a secret. Connected with your stage, you have a quantity of thoughts; therefore, as a result of service, there is quantity but not quality.

In the expansion of the whole tree, only one seed is potent. It is not that quality amidst the quantity is equal to the expansion of seed. Do you do quality service? By going into expansion while bringing benefit to others, you remember to bring benefit to yourself, do you? When you pay greater attention to others, you do not look at the tension within yourself. First of all, pay attention to the tension within your own self, and then you will be able to finish all the different types of tension in the whole world. First of all, look at yourself. Do service of the self first. When you serve yourself, you automatically serve others within that.

When you let go of serving the self and start serving others, you use more time and thought. Because of this reason, you are not able to accumulate what you should. Because of not accumulating, you do not have that intoxication or happiness. If you earn now and use it up now, then that becomes something for a temporary period, whereas whatever is accumulated is constantly with you. So now, learn how to accumulate. You must not just accumulate for this one birth, but you have to accumulate for twenty-one births. If you earn now and consume it now, what will you create for the future? It should not be that you earn and distribute it now.

After eating something, you must also digest it and distribute it. If you earn something and instantly distribute it, you will not have any power in yourself. You will be happy that you have distributed whatever you received. You have the happiness of donating something, but you do not have the power to merge that within yourself.

Together with happiness, it would help if you also had power. Because of not having power, you can neither remain free from obstacles nor overcome the obstacles. Little obstacles create a disturbance in your love. Therefore, you should imbibe the power to accommodate.

Just as you see the sparkle of happiness on the face, in the same way, you should also be able to see the sparkle of power. You may be easy-natured and straightforward, but are you as tolerant to the extent that you are easy-natured and simple? To have tolerance also means being easy-natured and straightforward. Being easy-natured and simple, you also need the power to accommodate and tolerate. If you do not have the powers to accommodate and tolerate, being easy-natured and simple makes you adopt a very innocent form. In some cases, innocence causes a significant loss. So do not be easy-natured and straightforward in that way.

Baba is called the Lord of Innocence, but he is not so innocent that he cannot confront you. Together with being the Lord of Innocence, he is also the Almighty Authority. He is not just the Lord of Innocence. Here, those who are the embodiment of power become innocent (naive) by mistake, and so they are shot by Maya. At present, because of your innocence, you are shot by Maya a great deal. Become such an embodiment of power that before Maya opposes you, she salutes you so that she cannot oppose you. You have to remain very cautious, careful, and clever.

Check your attitude and the atmosphere. Check yourself to see that no atmosphere is making your attitude weak.

No matter what the atmosphere is like, the assertive attitude of the self can transform the atmosphere. If the atmosphere influences your attitude, then this is innocence (being naive). Do not think: I myself am all right, but I was influenced by the atmosphere; no. Your attitude should be viceless, no matter how vicious the atmosphere may be. Since you say that you are the cleaners who make the impure ones pure, since you can purify souls, can you not change the atmosphere from being impure and make it pure? Those who purify cannot be under the influence of the atmosphere.

However, when the atmosphere influences your attitude, then this is a weakness. Each of you should think you must finish the atmosphere of impurity or weakness with your assertive attitude. You are the ones who finish this, not the ones who come under its influence. It would help if you did not even speak of any impure atmosphere. If you speak about it, then, just as there is the saying that those who witness a sin being committed also accumulate sin, so too, if someone speaks of a weak or impure atmosphere, that is also a sin because, at that time, you forget the Father. When you forget the Father, sin is committed.

If you remember the Father, you cannot commit any sin. Therefore, you should not even speak about it. Since Baba has given you the instructions to speak the jewels of knowledge and that no wasteful words should emerge from your lips, so to speak of the atmosphere is also wasteful. Wherever there is wastage, there needs to be the awareness of being powerful. When you speak in the awareness of being powerful, you will not speak any wasteful words; you will only speak of the jewels of knowledge. So check your attitude and words. Many think that because they have asked for forgiveness after they have performed some (wrong) action, they have become accessible.

But no. No matter how much forgiveness someone asks for, once a sinful or wasteful action has been performed, the mark of that is not removed. The mark remains; the register is then not clean. Therefore, please do not say: Well, it did happen, but I have asked for forgiveness. Do not adopt this custom and system. Your duty is not to think of sin in your thoughts, attitude, or awareness. This is known as being a Brahmin, that is, being pure. If you have any impurity in your attitude, awareness, or thoughts, then you cannot stabilise yourself in the stage of being a Brahmin. You would then be Brahmins in namesake only.

Therefore, remain cautious at every step. Together with happiness, also keep the powers with you. If, together with the specialities, you also have weaknesses, then one weakness would finish many specialities. So now, to reveal your specialities, finish your weaknesses. Do you understand? If, while doing service, you do a disservice, then that disservice is visible. No matter how much nectar there may be, if even one drop of poison is mixed, all the nectar becomes poison. No matter how much service you do, making one little mistake becomes a reason for disservice; it finishes your service.

Therefore, you have to pay great attention to yourself and the service you provide. First of all, you have to do it, and then speak of it in words. It is easy to say something, but it takes effort. The fruit of effort is delicious, whereas just speaking could be better. First of all, do something and then speak about it. Then, see how much service of quality is accomplished. Look at your quality. Do you understand? Make your attitude and the atmosphere powerful. Your birth, Brahmins, is for becoming and making others, not just for becoming. You have to study to teach others. You are the world's benefactors, are you not? Just as Baba is the Benefactor, you are also His helpers.

Therefore, I think your attitude needs to be corrected, but the atmosphere made this happen. It could be more robust if your attitude is all right but does not influence the atmosphere. Anything powerful influences everything around it; it cannot remain hidden. So, to recognise your attitude, check what influence your attitude has on the atmosphere. If the atmosphere appears to be something else, then understand that there is a weakness in your attitude also. You should then finish that weakness. Nowadays, what is especially visible in service in all four directions? You are very clever in playing music, but by being caught up with the music, you move away from the meaning of the words.

You have to become those who know all secrets, but instead, you have become those who are caught up with the music. The meaning (significance) and the music should both be equal. If one is in great force and the other is incognito, the result remains incognito. All of you have become very clever in playing music, but you also have to become those who understand the significance of everything. Now, become raazyukt and yogyukt. Okay. To those who are raazyukt, yogyukt and yuktiyukt, 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

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.”
