Revise Course Murli 13/04/1982

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 definition of a renunciate and a great renunciate.

BapDada is looking amongst all the Brahmin children to see which are complete renunciates. There are three types of children: 1) Renunciates, 2) Great renunciates, and 3) Complete renunciates. All three are renunciations, but they are number-wise. Renunciates are those who have renounced, through knowledge and yoga, the temporary attainments they have attained from their old relationships and old connections of the old world and have adopted Brahmin life, that is, a yogi life in their thoughts. This means they have imbibed that a yogi life is more elevated than their old life, that it is more essential to attain permanent attainments than temporary attainments, and, considering these to be essential, have started practising knowledge and yoga.

They have claimed a right to be called Brahma Kumars and Kumaris. However, even after becoming Brahma Kumars and Kumaris, they haven't wholly transformed their old relationships, thoughts and sanskars but are constantly battling to transform them. One moment, they will have Brahmin sanskars; the next, they will have the form of battling to transform their old sanskars. This is called becoming a renunciate but needing complete transformation. They think that to adopt renunciation means to be incredibly fortunate. They lack the courage to put it into practice.

Because their sanskars of carelessness repeatedly emerge, together with thinking about renunciation, they also become those who love comfort. They understand everything; they are moving along, making an effort, cannot leave this Brahmin life, and are determined to remain a Brahmin. Even though Maya and their relations, whom Maya influences, are trying to pull them towards their old life, they are substantial in their thought that Brahmin's life is more elevated. They have steadfast faith in the intellect in this aspect.

However, two types of obstacles prevent them from progressing to become complete renunciates. What are they? First, they need constant courage; that is, they need more power to face obstacles. Second, there is the form of carelessness of moving along while loving comfort. That is, they are studying all four subjects - study, remembrance, divine virtues (dharna) and service, and are progressing while studying, but in comfort (at their own pace). They lack the form of a Shakti, who has all the weapons for that complete transformation. They are loving but do not have the form of power.

They're unable to stabilise in the form of a master almighty authority. This is why they need help to become great renunciates. These are renunciate souls. Great renunciates (mahatyagi) constantly have the courage and enthusiasm to transform their relationships, thoughts and sanskars. They are constantly detached from the old world and old relations. The experience of Great renunciates souls is as though the old world and old relations are dead. They don't have to battle for this. They are constantly stable in the stage of a loving, cooperative server who embodies power. So what else remains?

They receive the fruit of the fortune of a great renunciate and become mahagyani (great knowledgeable ones), mahayogi (great yogis) and elevated servers. However, sometimes, they use the right to this fortune in the wrong form of intoxication. Although they have wholly renounced their past life, they haven't yet renounced all feelings of having renounced everything. They have broken the iron chains and have become golden-aged from iron-aged, but sometimes, the transformation becomes bound by the golden chain of a beautiful life. What is that golden chain? "I" and "Mine".

I am a perfect, knowledgeable soul! I am a gyani and yogi soul! This beautiful chain sometimes hinders them from becoming free from all bondage. There are three types of activities. 1) The activities of worldly relations and business. 2) The activities connected with your body. 3) The activities of service. Renunciates have gone beyond worldly activities. However, they remain busy in their bodily activities and look after themselves or the nature of their bodily consciousness influences them. Because of this nature, they repeatedly lose courage.

They speak about it, saying that they understand it and even want to stop doing it, but such is their nature! This, too, is the activity of body consciousness and the body, due to which they're unable to become an embodiment of power and free from that activity. This is about renunciations. However, great renunciates become free from their worldly activities and the body's activities. Still, instead of becoming detached from service activities, they sometimes become trapped in that. Such souls are not even troubled by body consciousness because, day and night, they are absorbed in service.

They have gone beyond the activities of the body. Through the fortune of both types of renunciation, they have become gyani and yogi and have attained powers and virtues. They have become very well-known souls in the Brahmin family. They have become VIPs amongst the servers. They have begun to be showered with flowers of praise. They have become souls worthy of respect and praise but have also become trapped in expanding service activities. They accept all for themselves instead of becoming a great donor who donates all these attainments.

Therefore, "I" and "Mine" become a golden chain of pure motives. Their motives and words of not saying anything for themselves but for service are pure. "I am not saying I am a worthy teacher, but people ask for me." "Students say that only I should do that service." "I am very detached, but others attach me very much to that." What would you call this? Were they looking at the Father, or were they seeing you? They like your knowledge and your way of serving, but where did the Father go? You made the Father a Resident of Paradham!

There has to be such renunciation of even this fortune that you are not visible; just the Father is visible. Don't make them into lovers of great souls, but make them into lovers of God. They are called those who go beyond all activities but are not complete renunciates of this last activity. A trace of this pure activity remains! So they have become those with great fortune but have yet to entirely renunciate. So, did you hear about the second number who are great renunciates? Now, all that remains are the complete renunciations!

That is the final lesson of the renunciation course. The final lesson now remains. Baba will tell you about that at some other time because, in 1983, you are going to have a tremendous sacrificial fire. You are going to have it at a great place. Therefore, you will all make the sacrifice there, will you not? Or will you all only make preparations for the hall? You will, of course, serve others. Many big mikes will also come to spread the sound of the Father's revelation. You have made this plan, have you not? However, will it just be the Father who will be revealed, or will both Shiva and the Shaktis be revealed? Both (males and females) are included in the Shakti army!

Therefore, the Father will be revealed to the children. You are thinking of spreading the sound through the mikes, but when the sound spreads through the world and the curtain of revelation opens, the idols behind the curtains must be complete. Or will it be that, when the curtains open, some will be getting ready, and others will be sitting down? You are not going to grant such a vision, are you? Someone in the form of a Shakti is still trying to hold onto her shield, and someone else is trying to hold onto her sword! You don't want to take such a photograph, do you?

Therefore, what do you have to do? Make the complete sacrifice! You also have to make a programme for this. So, sacrifice these golden chains in the tremendous sacrificial fire. However, for this, you need to practise it from now. Don't think that you will do it in 1983, that all of you will become servers in advance and that the sacrificial ceremony will occur later! You must also perform the ceremony here for this sacrifice in 1983. However, you need to practise this for an extended period. Do you understand? Okay.

To those who are complete renunciates, equal to the Father, to those who are great donors of the attainments they have received, like Brahma Baba, to such elevated souls who are constantly faithful and obedient to the Father and who follow the Father, BapDada's love, remembrance and namaste.

Question: How can one remain free from the bondage of actions (karma) while performing those actions?

Answer: While performing any task, remain absorbed in love, remembering the Father. A soul who is absorbed in love while performing actions will be detached. A karma yogi is one who constantly stays in remembrance while performing actions and thus remains free from any bondage of those actions. You will not experience it as work, but you are just playing. You will not experience any burden or tiredness. A karma yogi remains detached while performing every action as a game. Children who are detached in this way perform actions through their physical senses and, because of remaining absorbed in love for the Father, remain free from any bondage of their actions.

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.”
