Revise Course Murli 18/07/1974
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.
Making The Image Of Best Fortune Through Completely Pure Vritti And Drishti.
Shiva, the Supreme Father, who created the picture of elevated fortune, the well-wisher of all souls and the ever-benefactor God, said Today, BapDada especially sees the line of fortune of the Madhuban niwasis. Each of you is creating your line of fortune based on the shrimat and sustenance you have taken from BapDada. Do you constantly look at your image in the mirror? Do you know the most important specialities of this image? Those who paint physical portraits know what specialities the value of the portrait would be based on. The most crucial speciality, a physical portrait's attraction and value, is based on the face.
Everyone's vision will first be drawn to the face when any picture is looked at. Each portrait is valued according to the face and features in the portrait. In the same way, on what essential aspects is the value of the image of fortune based? What are its most essential specialities? If someone were to look at the image of fortune, what specialities would he look for? The first and most crucial speciality seen in the image of fortune is whether awareness is powerful, whether you are constantly the embodiment of remembrance. Secondly, does the attitude of being brothers remain constant at all times?
Thirdly, is your vision spiritual, that is, is it completely pure? These three are the main things: awareness, attitude and vision. Only based on these three specialities can you see in the image the shine, the sparkle and the intoxication of divine virtues. If these three aspects are accurate and elevated, the image of such fortune automatically attracts all other souls towards itself. Just as when someone is walking along a road, souls are attracted by the physical eyes and features; in the same way, other souls are attracted to the portrait of fortune with its spiritual drishti, its constant awareness, and its attitude.
A physical portrait becomes instrumental in changing you into a bodily being; that is, it becomes an instrument to make your body conscious and attracts you towards itself against your conscious wish. It attracts weak Brahmins or the effort-making souls and makes them body conscious, and then they complain that while walking along the path, while seeing living or non-living images, from being soul conscious, they become body conscious. In the same way, when you make your spiritual image or portrait attractive, many body-conscious souls, while moving along, will become soul-conscious.
Since physical images have that much attraction, do you living spiritual images do not have this much attraction? If this spiritual image has even one of these three aspects missing, it would not be considered valuable. In a physical portrait, if the eyes, the nose, the ears, etc., are inaccurate, the value of the portrait is significantly reduced. No matter how beautiful the portrait may be, if something is lacking in the most crucial part, the face, the portrait becomes useless, or its value is halved. So, too, if even one of the three specialties is missing, the period of your reward and attainment is halved; from being sixteen celestial degrees complete, you come into the part of being fourteen celestial degrees, and so the value is halved. Therefore, you need to check all these three things at all times. Achcha, do you check yourselves in this way?
What is the metre for checking? You would check using some metre. What is the metre with which you would check yourself? The metre is the intellect, and from the moment you become a Brahmin, you are given the eye of a divine intellect. For instance, in some worldly clans, to make someone an expert in battling or violence, soon after he takes birth, initially, instead of using the sword, they teach him how to use a knife or a stick. Through this, he can maintain the awareness of his clan of brave warriors. BapDada also gives all you Brahmins the eye of the divine intellect to be able to recognise Maya as well as to save yourselves from her attack.
However, if instead of having a divine intellect, you become those who have an ordinary intellect, you are unable to check yourself, recognise Maya, and save yourself from Maya's attack. First of all, check if you constantly have the eye of the divine intellect with yourself. Is the bad company of Maya or a very influential atmosphere sometimes making the eye of your divine intellect dirty? Or is it causing any defects? To create such an elevated portrait of yourself, to fill yourself with these three specialities, remember three terms: 1) You have to stabilise yourself in the stage of nirvana, the stage of being beyond. 2) You have to be humble. 3) You have to bring about the construction of the new world.
To be beyond, to bring about renewal and to be humble, beyond any desire for regard or respect: keep these three terms in your awareness, and the portrait of your fortune will become very attractive. While moving along, you need to gain these three things. You stay tiny in being beyond; you come into sound easily and with great interest. According to the deep desire to come into sound, to the same extent, the desire you should have for the sweetness of being stable in the stage of being beyond is lacking. Instead of being humble, you easily accept all the different types of respect: respect for your position, your virtues, your service, your success, etc., or else you have the desire to accept it.
You seek respect and are, therefore, unable to complete the course of self-respect. When you stop seeking this form of respect, you will quickly and automatically be able to have the stage of self-respect. Desire for respect makes you forget self-respect. In the same way, instead of being constructive and bringing about renewal, you bring about different types of destruction. Instead of bringing about renewal, you sometimes become instrumental in bringing someone's stage down. In every thought and every action, constantly check whether that particular thought, word or action is instrumental in the renewal task. By having such a stage, you will automatically develop all virtues. At present, this is the method to intensify your effort.
The result of Madhuban niwasis is good. The majority of you have been tireless servers in love and cooperation and will continue to be this in the future. You have become worthy of praise because BapDada himself is praising you. What do you have to do further now? Madhuban niwasis should make a much more special vow than that made by other souls. What is that? You have to take this vow: We will all follow the same direction, have the same elevated attitude, the same spiritual vision; we will have a constant, stable stage, be cooperative with one another and have good wishes for one another.
While having pure feelings and elevated wishes for all, even though we have different sanskars, we will make the fortress of satopradhan sanskars the same as the Father's and make the nature of the self, that which has self-respect very strong. This is the vow you have to make. Do you have the courage to make this vow for yourself and others? Even those who stay in their household and have to go into different atmospheres make this vow just for themselves. You, Madhuban niwasis, mustn't just make this vow for yourselves, but you also need the courage to make this vow for the gathering. This is the speciality of Madhuban, the land of blessings. Do you understand?
Just as you showed the practical fruit of courage, in the same way, by continuing to caution one another and cooperating, you will successfully put this vow into practice. Just as other zones have been told to give proof of their exceptional service, in the same way, Madhuban Niwasis also have to give proof of this. Do you need help to give this proof? How long have you taken loving sustenance and teachings from the sakar and avyakt forms? After taking sustenance, you become instruments to give sustenance to other souls. Have you become instruments to give such sustenance, or are you still those who take sustenance?
Now, you older ones have to sustain the new children that come; that is, by embodying the teachings and with your love, you have to remain busy in this task day and night and cooperate in making them move forward. This avyakt part is primarily for the new ones, while the older ones now have to become the same as the Father and increase the zeal and enthusiasm of new ones. Just as BapDada places the children ahead of himself and makes them even more elevated than he is, the older ones must show the proof by revealing themselves as the practical embodiment of all the teachings and make the new ones go ahead of themselves. You have to give the return of the sustenance practically. Okay.
To such worthy children, to those who show the image of their fortune through their dharna, to those who constantly use the most important mantra and metre, to those who use their every thought and second for the benefit of others in the same way as BapDada; to those who constantly maintain their original respect; to those who reveal the original and eternal sanskars in the same way as BapDada; to the stars of success who use their every thought and moment in a worthwhile way, BapDada's love, remembrances 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.”
