Revise Course Murli 15/03/1972
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.
Sacrifice and Fortune.
Do you consider yourselves to be images of renunciation and tapasya? Which is the most remarkable renunciation that takes a lot of effort? (Body consciousness.) Why does someone have arrogance about knowledge or arrogance of his intellect? Why are you not able to renounce your old sanskars? The main reason for this is body consciousness. To let go of body consciousness is the most remarkable renunciation. So check yourself every second. When it is renunciation of something physical, having renounced it once, you can step away from it. However, in the renunciation of body consciousness, you have to take the support of the body at every second and be detached while in the body.
Therefore, because the soul has a deep connection with the body through being with the body at every second, body consciousness has also become very deep. Now, it takes effort to finish it. Ask yourself whether you have had renunciation of every type. Because the more you renounce something, the more fortune you receive, at present and in the future. Do not think that at the confluence age, you only have renunciation and claim the fortune in the future. It is not like that. To the extent that someone renounces something, he receives a fortune to the extent that he has renounced it at the moment he renounces it.
What visible fortune do you receive at the confluence age due to your renunciation? Do you know this? What fortune do you receive at this time? You will receive the jeevanmukti status in the golden age, but what do you receive now? Are you receiving the fortune of your renunciation? At the confluence age, the most excellent fortune of your renunciation is that the Fortune-Maker himself belongs to you. This is the most excellent fortune of all. You receive this only at the confluence age: God himself belongs to you. If you do not have any renunciation, neither does Baba belong to you.
If you have body consciousness, then are you remembering Baba? Only when you have renounced body consciousness can you experience a close relationship with the Father. By renouncing body consciousness, by being soul conscious, what is the first attainment? You constantly stay in the awareness of the Father; that is, through every second of renunciation, you experience all relationships and all powers through the Father at every second. So, is this not the most excellent fortune of all? You will not receive this in the future. Therefore, it is said that this easy gyan and easy Raja Yoga are not just for giving you fruit in the future but also for the present.
The future is already tied to the present. But, throughout the entire kalpa, nowhere else can you claim the most elevated fortune of all. It is only at this time that, through renunciation and tapasya, you can experience all relationships with the Father at every second; that is, you can make Baba belong to you in all relationships. You did not call out for this. Your call was for something else, but what did you attain instead? You are attaining what you did not even have in your thoughts or dreams. If you receive something you had never even thought or dreamt of, that is called fortune. Whatever you receive through your labour is not called fortune.
If whatever was impossible becomes possible and you attain it automatically, and if you develop hope for something in which there was no hope, that is called fortune. Have you yet to receive this fortune? You called out for something else: Make me belong to You in one way or another. You had no desire to become so elevated, yet what did you receive in return? You became something, but you also made Baba your everything. So, is this not a fortune? You receive the elevated fortune of the confluence age through this renunciation. Always think that if you do not renounce body consciousness, that is, if you do not become soul conscious, you will not be able to create your fortune; that is, you will be deprived of the elevated fortune of the confluence age.
If, for instance, you renounce body consciousness for some time during the whole day, and at other times, you remain down below, that is, you have not renounced body consciousness, then to that extent, you deprive yourself of the elevated fortune of the confluence age. Since Baba, the Fortune-Maker, is telling you how to create your fortune every second, what should you do? It would help if you attained total success through this method. What is the result of not adopting this method? You need to progress in your stage and attain success in all attainments. So what should you do? You should constantly adopt the methods you have been given by the Bestower through which there will be progress and success. So check to what extent you have renounced waste thoughts.
You should constantly have a brotherhood attitude. To what extent have you adopted this attitude? And, while being in the body, to what extent have you renounced the attitude of being a bodily being? What do those from Mysore think? Today, Baba has especially come to meet them because they have made so much effort to come from so far with so much love. So Baba has also had to come from a faraway land. So you experience this happiness, do you not? Today, Baba has also come from a faraway land, especially to meet those who have come far away. So, to renounce something for the One you love is a small thing. Because of having love for the vices, you renounced your consciousness of yourself as well as your own body.
A mother even renounces her body because of her love for her children. Since you can let go of your crown, your throne and your original form because of your love for a human relation, can you not renounce body consciousness now that you have love for the Father? Is it difficult? It would help if you thought about this. In a temporary relationship, you had so much power that it brought you down from above; you came down from above because of this, did you not? And now that you say, "Baba", and you have all relationships with the Father, is it a big thing to renounce this wrong consciousness of the body because of your love for the Father? It is a small thing. So then, why are you not able to do it?
You should be able to do it in one second. If a child is ill for one month, then the mother who has a temporary relationship, a bodily relationship, can renounce everything for one month based on that relationship. Because she knows the bodily relationship, she does not take long to renounce her happiness. She considers it to be simple. So what should you do here? Here, you have a permanent relationship and all relationships with One; you have a relationship of total attainment. So you should be able to move forward with even one second when renouncing anything. But how long will it take to renounce the body's consciousness? It should have taken one second, yet you take so many years. (We have had the practice of this for half the kalpa.)
What about the other half, kalpa, where you were beyond body consciousness and the vices? Did you forget that practice of half a kalpa in one second? Did you take time for that? (We still came down by two degrees in the silver age.) Even so, you remained beyond the vices, did you not? You were viceless in the golden and silver ages. Even though you lost two degrees, you are still said to be viceless in the silver age, are you not? You were beyond the attraction of the vices, were you not? If these have become your sanskars for half a kalpa, why can you not bring those sanskars into your consciousness just as quickly?
What is the original form of the soul? What are the original sanskars and virtues of you, the soul? They are the same as those of the Father, are they not? Whatever are the virtues of the Father: The Ocean of Knowledge, the Ocean of Happiness, the Ocean of Peace; He is the Ocean, but at least you are the embodiment. So, whatever are the original virtues of the soul, you are the embodiment of peace. You transformed yourselves due to the company's colour, but the original virtue of the form of the soul is the same as that of the Father. Why does that not come into your consciousness as quickly? Talk to yourself in this way.
Do you understand? By talking to yourself in this way, that is, having a spiritual heart-to-heart conversation, you can stabilise yourself in spirituality. Do not think: This happened because you have had these old sanskars from the copper age. Do not think this. Instead, think: What do I, the soul, have as my original and eternal sanskars? When the soul first came down at the beginning of the world, what sanskars did it have? It had divine sanskars. So think about what the original sanskars and virtues of the soul were. Refrain from thinking about the middle period. Think about the original and eternal sanskars of the soul. What will happen then?
The sanskars of the middle period that emerge now and again will become mediocre. Mediocre means slack. This One's activities could be of a better level. So, the sanskars of the middle period will become mediocre, and the original and eternal sanskars will be practically visible. Do you understand? Always think about the original and the eternal. Whatever thoughts you create, your awareness will be according to that, and as is your awareness, so will your power in every action. Therefore, I constantly have an elevated awareness. So what will you do now? Through every second of renunciation, continue to attain at every second because this is the confluence age when you can attain a fortune.
Whatever fortune you create at this time must be experienced throughout the kalpa, whether elevated or low. It is only at the confluence age that you can create a fortune. You can create as much as you want because you have the company of the Father, the Fortune-Maker. At that time, this Father will not be with you, nor will there be this attainment. The One who enables you to attain something is with you now, and the attainment must be made now. If not now, then never. Keep this slogan in your awareness. You have the slogans written down, do you not? Do you consider the slogans to be for yourself? What will you do if you are constantly aware that if not now, then never?
You will constantly think that you should do whatever you want to do now. So, constantly keep this slogan in your awareness. Do you understand? Okay. What will those from Mysore remember? The mothers stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance, do they not? Because they cannot understand the language. Even so, you are fortunate. Do you consider yourselves to be the unique souls of the entire world? Okay, have you been here many times before? Or do you think this is your first time coming here? You do not have any bondages, so do you consider yourselves fortunate or unfortunate? You are free from bondage so that you can create an elevated future for yourself.
You are doubly fortunate: firstly, you have found the Father, and secondly, you are free from bondage to create your future. You experience even greater happiness, do you not? You do not think: I don't know what this is, do you? You don't experience any sorrow, do you? You experience happiness, do you not? It is good that you are free from bondage. So, do you consider yourself to be fortunate? Or, do you also sometimes experience sorrow? If anyone else is with you, there will be conflict. If Shiv Baba is with you, there won't be any conflict, will there? If you stay in the relationship of the soul while living in the household, you can create your double fortune. While living in the household, do you remain detached from the relationships of the body? So those who are living in the household are creating such a fortune. 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.”
