Revise Course Murli 03/04/1981

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.

The path of bhakti is the memorial of those on the path of knowledge.

That meeting is now taking place in Madhuban? Today is the meeting of the many rivers with the Ocean. Like the Father, each small and large river of knowledge is a cleaner. Baba is looking at his service companions, the purifying rivers, who left this land and went abroad. The souls of this land and abroad have been purified and are singing many songs of praise. The songs that are now in the mind will become those sung through their lips in the Copper Age. The songs of praise that Baba now sings are of the elevated task and the elevated life of your elevated souls.

Later, this song will be remembered as a devotional on the path of bhakti. Now, because all of your souls experience the attainment of supersensuous happiness, your souls are dancing in your mind, and then, on the path of bhakti, you will be dancing with your feet. You now turn the beads of the rosary of the virtues of elevated souls and speak of their virtues. Later on the path of bhakti, they will turn the beads of the physical rosary of you. You now offer bhog to the Father, and in return, people on the path of bhakti will offer bhog to all of you. Just as you don’t accept anything without first offering it to Baba, similarly, people on the path of bhakti will not accept anything without first offering it to your deity's soul.

Just as, at present, you put Baba first and then yourself, they will put you deities first and themselves afterwards. They copy everything that you do. You become embodiments of remembrance, and they become embodiments of the remembrance of that memorial. You are all constantly unadulterated; you constantly stay in the remembrance of One so that no one can shake or change you negatively. Similarly, your intense devotees, your true devotees, your first devotees, have an intellect that firmly believes in you, their particular deities. Their faith in you is unshakeable and unbreakable. Even if devotees of Hanuman were to attain Rama, they would remain devotees of Hanuman.

They have such strong faith. They copy you in the way you have one strength and one support. It is at this time that all of you become spiritual pilgrims. Your pilgrimage is in remembrance of God, and theirs is in your memory. At present, all of you walk around the pillars of the tower of knowledge and peace to read the elevated versions and teachings of becoming an embodiment of remembrance, and you also make everyone else walk around it. You walk around the tower to read the teachings written on the tower; you don’t miss any side of the tower. When you have been around all four sides of the tower, you feel you have seen and experienced everything.

Later on, in memory of this, devotees go around all of your idols. Until they have gone around those idols, they wouldn’t feel that their worshipping is complete. On the path of bhakti, they physically copy every subtle action and virtue of all of you. This is why BapDada constantly advises your deity souls to keep faith in One in your intellect. If you don’t stay in constant and stable remembrance of One at this time, if you don’t concentrate on One, if you don’t remain unshakeable, then your devotees cannot have an intellect with solid faith in you. If the foot of your intellect wanders here and there, later, the feet of your devotees will stumble around.

Sometimes, they would consider one idol their deity and another idol. Today, they would be devotees of Rama and tomorrow, they would be devotees of Krishna. If you don’t have the stage of experiencing all attainments from One, then your devotee souls would wander from one deity to another for some attainment. When you move away from your elevated honour now, your devotees will become distressed and leave you later on. Just as now, instead of having subtle experiences through remembrance, you complain about the lack of attainment due to your weaknesses. Either you complain of being disheartened, or you complain out of love.

Therefore, your devotees will constantly complain, too. Each of you knows all the complaints very well, and therefore, Baba will not tell you about them. Baba says: Be merciful and constantly have feelings of mercy! However, instead of mercy, you sometimes have arrogance or doubt. The same thing happens with your devotees. To have doubt means, “Should I do this? Will it be like this? Should it not be like this?” In this, too, they forget mercy. Be merciful to yourself and others. You doubt yourself and also others. If your illness of doubt increases, it becomes like cancer.

Those who are still in the first stage of cancer can be cured, but it is difficult to cure those in their last stage. They are neither able to stay alive nor can die. Here, too, they are neither ignorant nor knowledgeable. Their sign is that they constantly chant the same slogan. For themselves, they say, “This is how I am”. And, for others, they say, “This one is always like that.” No matter how much they try to change themselves, they will still chant the same thing. Cancer patients may appear to eat and drink very well. Externally, they would look perfect and strong, but internally, they would be powerless.

Similarly, those with the illness of doubt would conduct themselves very well externally. Externally, they lack nothing. They wouldn’t even accept it if they were told something was lacking. However, internally, because such souls would be very disappointed, their attainment of happiness and power would be very weak. There is also a similar illness of arrogance. The sign of being merciful is that you would have one Baba and none other in your every word and thought. Wherever they look, those who are merciful will constantly see the Father, whereas those who have arrogant looks will only see themselves! Those with arrogance will be turning the rosary of “I, I”, whereas those with mercy will turn the rosary of the Father.

Their consciousness of “Me” will be merged with the Father. This is what it means to be absorbed in the love of Father. This type of soul is merged with the Father’s love, and the other type is merged in the consciousness of “Me”. You are master gods for your devotees. You are the father of the people in the golden and silver ages, and at the confluence age, you are the images of support who reveal BapDada’s name and his task. You can either glorify Baba’s name with your elevated actions and your transformation, or you can defame Baba’s name with your wasteful actions and ordinary behaviour. Children, it is all in your hands!

At the time of destruction, you will be in your form of great benefactors, the great bestowers of blessings, and great donors, the exceedingly charitable souls for the whole world. Therefore, you are very elevated at all times. You have been an image of support during this whole time. Do each of you consider yourself to be this? Do you know your biography from the beginning through

the middle to the end? You are not alone; many others behind you are copying you. Therefore, constantly pay attention to every action you perform. To those who are excellent in all three aspects of time, to those who are embodiments of power and who remain in remembrance of the Father, to those who are merciful, to those who are constant embodiments and bestowers of attainment, to souls who are complete like the Father, BapDada’s love, remembrance and namaste.

Baba met a group of teachers: The practical form of a teacher is that of being a constant server. You all know this very well. What is the speciality of a server? How does the server become successful? The speciality of a server constantly lost in service is that he would have renounced any feeling of doing service or having done any service. In other words, you call this “ The renunciation of having renounced anything”. When you say, “I did this service”, that service would not be successful. “I did not do anything, but I was the instrument through whom it was done, and Baba was the One doing it.” Then, there is praise for the Father.

When you say that you are the server or that you did something or will do something, then that consciousness of “I”, even in terms of being a server, won’t allow that service to be successful. When service is mixed with the consciousness of “I”, it becomes a service filled with a selfish motive, not a service filled with renunciation. In the world, there are two types of serviceable souls. One type of serviceable soul is those who serve with selfish motives, and the second type is those who are embodiments of renunciation out of love. So what type of server you are?

You have already been told that when your consciousness of “I” is merged with Baba’s love, then this is what it means to be an actual server. Then, the language of “I” and “You” ends. Baba inspires the act, and you are the instrument performing it. Anyone can become an instrument. What does that mean when you have the consciousness of “I”? Who bleats “Meh! Meh!” all the time? (A goat). By constantly bleating “I”, you become dependent. The head and shoulder of a goat are constantly bowed down, whereas a lion constantly holds his head high. So, where there is the consciousness of “I”, you are bowing down to one or another desire and do not have the intoxication to hold your head up high.

Due to one or another reason, you keep your head down like a goat. A householder’s life is like a goat's because you are constantly bowed down. To bow down in humility is a different matter; this is not humility making you bow down, but Maya making you bow down. She forces you to bow your head and makes you look down. To have the consciousness of “I” mixed in service means to become dependent; you would then be dependent on a person or a possession, the atmosphere or anything else. You even become dependent on your own sanskars. To be dependent means to be under an external influence.

Those who are influenced by others become dependent. Servers cannot have this sanskar. Servers are those who issue a challenge. You always hold your head high when you issue a challenge. When you make a mistake, you look down while speaking. To be a server means to challenge. To be a server means to be one of those who challenge Maya and the world's souls about the Father. Those who have first challenged their old sanskars can then challenge others. First, you have to challenge your sanskars  in particular, and then you can challenge all the obstacles that come in general.

Obstacles can never stop actual servers. Those who challenge others can change the mountainous form of Maya into a mustard seed form within a second. In the drama you show about Maya, what is it that you show? That you will change a mountain into a mustard seed. To be an actual server means to be equal to the Father. What does the Father, first of all, call himself? He says: I am the World Servant. To be a server means to be equal to the Father. Your service in this one birth enables you to claim a crown and a throne for many future births. The confluence age is the age of doing service. And, for how long do you have to do that? In any case, the confluence is a small age.

Therefore, if you receive an opportunity to serve at this age, it is for a short time. Even when someone has been serving for 50 to 60 years, if you subtract 50 to 60 years from 5000 years, the rest of the cycle is the time of the reward. That means serving for 60 years and enjoying the nourishment of that for the rest of the cycle. You become worthy according to the effort you make at the confluence age. Then, you will become a worshipper according to how worthy of being worshipped you became. You will become the foremost worshippers. Then, see how good your final birth is, too! Even the final birth of your good effort makers has been good, and so from this, you understand how good your past births must have been.

This is like experiencing a little sorrow in comparison to the happiness you have experienced. When, for instance, a very wealthy person becomes a little poor, you would say that he has become poor. When the temperature of a wealthy person is even one degree too high, you would say that he has a temperature. However, when the temperature of a poor person is almost 5 degrees too high, no one would even ask! Similarly, the sorrow you experience is not that much, but because you have experienced extreme happiness, it is said that you are experiencing sorrow. Even in your final birth, you haven’t become a beggar, have you?

You have never become those who beg for a couple of chapatis at every doorstep. This is why you have been told that whereas the time for making an effort is very short, the time for experiencing the reward is very long. The reward is so elevated! What would your stage become when you have this awareness as long as possible? It would become elevated, would it not? To become a server means to claim a right to eat nourishing fruit for the whole cycle. Never ask whether you will have to keep on serving for the whole confluence age. When eating nourishing fruit, would you ask whether you will eat that for the rest of the cycle?

At this time, you become aware that you will receive all of that reward. You receive one hundred thousand­fold in return for one, so there would be an accurate account. To be a server means to be constantly happy for the whole cycle. This is no small fortune! Whether you call yourself a teacher or a server, you receive one hundred thousand­fold in return for the service you do. What is the effort you make? Here, you become Didis and Dadis for the students. At least you receive a title! A ten-year-old student would also call a new teacher of two years “Didi”. Even here, you are seen in an elevated light.

They all give you regard. If you are an actual server, you become worthy of regard. If you have something else mixed in you, you may be called “Didi or Dadi,” but tomorrow, you may be called something else. When the motivation of your service is mixed, the regard you are given will be mixed. This is why to be a server means to be equal to the Father. To be a server means to follow the Father’s footsteps, not to be a little ahead or behind. To take every footstep according to the Father’s shrimat, whether in thoughts, words, actions or connections and relationships, to be among those who place their feet precisely in Baba’s footsteps we to be called those who take Baba’s footsteps. What do you think? You are such a group, are you not? Your teachers are constantly easy yogis, are you not? If you teachers are yourself experiencing labour in everything, what would be the condition of your students? 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, stages, 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.”
