Revise Course Murli 08/04/1982

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 renunciation of lokik and alokik relationships.

Today, BapDada is seeing his unique souls who are great donors and bestowers of blessings. The basis of becoming a great donor and bestower of blessings is to become a great renunciate. You must become a great renunciate to become a great donor or a bestower of blessings. To be a great donor means to give selflessly to other souls all the treasures he has received. Only souls who are beyond selfishness can become great donors. A bestower of blessings will constantly experience himself to be full of the treasures of virtues, powers and knowledge. He will constantly have elevated and pure wishes for all souls and will always have the elevated desire to benefit all souls.

Only those who have such elevated desires and are constantly spiritually merciful and generous-hearted can become bestowers of blessings. For this, it is necessary to become a great renunciate. You have been told the definition of renunciation. The first renunciation is the renunciation of the consciousness of your body. The second is the renunciation of the connections of the body. The first connection of the body is with the physical senses. The second step is to become a conqueror of the senses and someone with all rights over them. You have also been given a clear explanation of this.

The third aspect is the relationship of people with your body. Both lokik and alokik relations are included in this. You have to be a great renunciate in both these types of relations, that is, you have to be a destroyer of attachment. The sign of being a destroyer of attachment in both types of relations is that there will neither be a dislike for anyone nor attachment to or dependence on anyone. If you dislike anyone, then the defects of that person, or actions you don't like performed by that one, will repeatedly disturb your intellect. Even against your conscious wish, you will automatically have wrong ideas about that person in your thoughts, words, and dreams.

You will try to remember the Father, but that soul will appear before you. Similarly, a soul to whom you are attached or dependent in your heart will automatically attract you, even against your conscious wish. That soul will attract your intellect with his virtues or love, and a soul you dislike will disturb your intellect because your selfish motives are not fulfilled. Until those selfish motives are fulfilled, the karmic account of opposing that soul in your thoughts and actions will continue. The seed of dislike is a royal form of a selfish motive, and that is, "Should do!" (karna chahiye). "This one should do this.

He shouldn't do that! This should happen!" In this way, the desire for what you want to happen forges a wasteful relationship with that soul. Because of constantly having wasteful thoughts for a soul you dislike, you spin the discussion of looking at others. This wasteful relationship will not even allow you to become a destroyer of attachment. There wouldn't be love out of love but out of force. What do you then say? "I'm so fed up!" Of course, the intellect would be pulled by whoever is making you fed up. Your time will be wasted in that, your intellect will be wasted in that, and your powers will be wasted in that.

Therefore, the first one is this relationship. The second one is attachment or dependence based on perishable love or attainment or because someone has become a temporary support for you. This, too, pulls your intellect towards itself in terms of both lokik and alokik relationships. In Lokik life, when you receive love, support or attainments from bodily relationships, you have a special attachment for those people. Then, you try to break away from that attachment and aim to stop your intellect from being pulled by them in any way. After you let these go, these same things with alokik relationships pull your intellect; that is, they easily make your intellect depend on them.

These, too, are relationships with bodily beings. When you experience a problem in life, or there is some confusion in your heart, even against your conscious wish, you will only remember the soul who has given you some temporary support, someone who has given you some temporary attainment or a soul to whom you have attachment. You won't remember the Father. Then, once again, what do the souls with such attachments think and say to justify themselves and defend themselves? The Father is incorporeal and subtle; someone is definitely needed in the corporeal form!

However, you forget that if you have the relationship of all attainments with the one Father, that if you experience all relationships and you trust and have steadfast faith in the Bestower of Support, then, although BapDada is incorporeal and subtle, he is bound to you in the bond of love. He gives you the feeling of the human form. What is the reason why you don't experience this? Through knowledge, you have understood that you have to have all relationships with the one Father, but you haven't brought all of those relationships into your practical life. This is why you are unable to experience all relationships in a practical way.

Since, on the path of devotion, the most elevated devotee, Meera, didn't just have a vision but also had a practical experience, then can't the children, who are embodiments of knowledge, the direct children of the Ocean of Knowledge, experience through the human form, the One who is the basis of all attainments, the Father, the Bestower of Support? So, why do you put aside the Almighty Authority and give your support to souls who are number-wise in their capacity? Therefore, you must keep this intense account of karma in your intellect. The account of karma is intense. You must understand this.

When you take some temporary support from a soul or make someone the basis of your attainment, then, because your intellect is dependent on that soul, instead of your becoming karmateet, a bondage of karma is created. One gave and the other one took, and there was an exchange of a soul with another. Therefore, did you create an account through that give-and-take exchange, or did you finish something? At that time, you feel as though you are making progress, but that progress is not really progress, but an accumulation in your account of karmic bondage. What would the result of that be?

A soul bound by a bondage of karma will not be able to experience any relationship with the Father. A soul who has the burden of karmic bondage will not be able to experience being completely stable in the stage of the pilgrimage of remembrance. Such souls will always be weak in the subject of remembrance. They may be clever and sensible in listening to and relating knowledge but wouldn't be essence-full. They will be serviceable but will not be a destroyer of obstacles. They will make service grow, but that growth won't be through the right method.

Such souls become speakers, but, because of their burden of karmic bondage, they're unable to progress with speed, that is, they're unable to experience the speed of the flying stage. Both of these types of relationships of the body don't allow you to become a great renunciate. Therefore, first of all, check your relationships with the body as to whether you have an attachment to anyone in terms of dislike or in terms of attainment or support from them, that is, check that your intellect is not dependent. If your intellect is repeatedly pulled to someone, or if there is dependence on someone, it proves that there is a burden.

Something that is burdened always bows down. Therefore, this too becomes a burden of karma, and, thus, even though you may not want it, your intellect does bow down there. Do you understand? Baba has only told you about one thing connected with the body. Therefore, ask yourself: Have I renounced all relationships of the body? Or have I only renounced everything with the lokik but then forged them with the alokik? Souls who will become karmateet also have to renounce this bondage of karma. So, for Brahmins, renunciation of these relationships is true renunciation. So, do you now understand the definition of renunciation?

Now, Baba will tell you more later. This is a weekly course of renunciation. Has today's lesson become firm? The speciality of Brahmins is to be great renunciates. Fortune cannot be attained without renunciation. You don't think that just because you have become Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, you have renounced everything, do you? The definition of renunciation is deeper for Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. Do you understand? Okay. To those who are constantly selfless; to those who are benefactors for everyone and accumulate by using all attainments for service; to those who are constant bestowers, the children of the Bestower; to those who are selfless in terms of taking any temporary attainment; to the elevated souls who are great donors and bestowers of blessings the ones who constantly have good wishes and benevolent feelings for all, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

BapDada meeting teachers: Do you serve souls constantly and only have the one aim of becoming equal to the Father? This is because you are seated on the seat of being equal to the Father. Just as the Father became a Teacher and the Instrument to give you teachings, so too, server souls are fixed to perform the same duty as the Father. As are the Father's virtues, so are the instrument servers' virtues. Therefore, first of all, check whether your words are constantly equal to the Father's. Are the thoughts you create equal to those of the Father? If not, then, after checking, change them before putting them into action.

What will happen by checking yourself and then putting it into practice? Just as the Father is loving to all and detached from all, even though he is the Server, so too, by serving in this way, you will be spiritually loved by all. Together with this, you will also remain detached from everyone. The primary speciality of the Father is that he is detached to the same extent that he is loving. Be as loving as the Father is in service, and constantly remain loving to the one Father with your intellect's yoga and detached from everyone else. This is called being a server equal to the Father. Therefore, to be a teacher means to follow this speciality of the Father.

All of you are working very hard in service, but you do have to pay special attention because you have to be detached and, sometimes, loving. If you don't do service with love, that is not right, whereas if you do service while being trapped in love, that is not right. Therefore, do service with love, but do it while remaining detached, for only then will there be success in service. If the success you receive is less than your effort, then something needs to be improved in your balance of being loving and detached. Therefore, a server means someone loving and detached from the Father. That is the best stage of all.

This is what is meant by a life like that of a lotus. This is why Shaktis are shown seated on a lotus. They are portrayed sitting on a lotus because they are as loving and detached as a lotus. So, all your servers are seated on a lotus, are you not? A seat means your stage. That stage has been portrayed in the form of a seat. However, it isn't that someone is accurately seated on a lotus. Therefore, always remain seated on the lotus seat. Always pay attention that the lotus never falls into the mud.

BapDada meeting Kumars: To belong to the Father in your Kumar life is a sign of such great fortune! Do you experience having been saved from being tied in so many bondages? A Kumar life means a life that is free from many bondages. You don't have any bondage. There shouldn't even be the bondage of the consciousness of the body. All bondages come due to the consciousness of the body. Therefore, constantly move along while considering yourselves to be souls, brothers. With this awareness, you can move forward in your kumar life and remain free from obstacles. There should not be any weakness, even in your thoughts or dreams. This is called being a destroyer of obstacles.

While walking and moving along, you should be naturally aware of being souls. When you look at others, look at the soul. When you listen to something, listen while considering yourself to be a soul. Remember this lesson! Kumars can go ahead and provide a great deal in service. However, while serving, if you forget to serve yourself, then obstacles come. A Kumar means being a hard worker, but you must be free from obstacles. There should be a balance between serving the self and the world. Stay calm in service so that you become careless in serving yourself because you kumars can make yourselves move forward as much as you want. Kumars also have physical strength. You also have the power of determination. This is why you can do whatever you want. Because you have both these powers, you can move forward. However, it would help if you had the art of balancing to take you into the ascent stage. When there is a balance of serving the self and the world, there will continue to be progress free from obstacles.

2. Do you kumars constantly consider yourselves to be with the Father? "I and the Father are constantly together". Have you become such constant companions? Usually, one or another person becomes a companion in life. So, who is your life companion? (The Father.) You could never find such a faithful Companion. No matter how lovely your Companion may be, physical companions can never fulfil the responsibility of companionship for all time. In contrast, this true spiritual Companion will constantly fulfil the responsibility of companionship.

Therefore, are you Kumars alone, or are you combined? (Combined.) So, you don't think of making someone else your Companion? Whenever any difficulty arises or when you are ill, when there is difficulty preparing food, do you think of making someone your Companion? Whenever you have any such thought, consider it a wasteful thought and finish it all the time in a second. This is because, today, you may make that one your Companion, but what guarantee do you have of that person for tomorrow? Therefore, what would benefit from making someone impermanent as your Companion? So, by constantly considering yourselves to be combined, all other thoughts will finish because the Almighty Authority is your Companion.

Just as darkness cannot remain in front of the sun, so too can Maya not stay in front of the Almighty Authority. Only then will you all become conquerors of Maya. 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

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.”
