What happens in one second ?
As soon as you had the firm faith in your mind, together with an honest heart, that you were a child of the Father, the praise and attainment from that one second become so great. Do you know how large your lottery is when you become a direct child of the Father? Within one second, your name and sanskars change from those of a shudra to those of a Brahmin. In this game of one second, the world, the sanskars, the attitude, vision and awareness all change. Yet you forget such an elevated second!
What year is 1978?
This extra time is not for your own efforts, but it is for giving your time, virtues and treasures to others. If you use this time and treasures for yourself instead of the purpose for which the Father gave them to you, then you are being dishonest with the treasures entrusted to you. This year is the special year for Brahmins to become great donors and bestowers of blessings.
What is the meaning of surrendering?
The time of this year is not for those. Just as you have surrendered yourselves to the Father, so now surrender your time, all attainments, knowledge, virtues and powers in serving the world. Whatever thought you have, check whether it is for world service. By surrendering yourselves for service, you will very easily become complete. When you make a special programme for service, then, because you are busy in a special task, you do not pay attention to having rest, having facilities for yourself or even to the trivial tests that may arise from other souls.
What is Maya doing when you surrender to service?
By surrendering yourself in love for service, all the big and little papers or tests will also automatically surrender themselves. Just as the form and name of something changes when put into a fire, in the same way, the name and form of any test will change and take on the form of attainment. You will not be afraid of the word ‘Maya’, but you will instead constantly dance in the happiness of being victorious. When you experience Maya being your slave, would the slave be your server or would you be afraid of her? When you surrender yourself to service, then Maya automatically surrenders herself to you.
What definition of a complete soul is BapDada giving?
According to the present time, everyone has to become complete. A complete soul never complains. Such a soul doesn’t use the language, “It just happens; it happens like that all the time.”
Which three types of souls are in a queue?
Engage yourself in finishing the queues. Quench the thirst of the thirsty souls. Give a donation to the beggar souls. Show the path of meeting God as the fruit of devotion to the devotees. When you remain busy in finishing these queues, your queue of all questions within the self will come to an end. Do not wait in anticipation of time, but remain engaged in making preparations to make all three types of souls full.
Who will you be in the future?
There is no question of who will become part of the 16,000. Ultimately, who will become part of the eight and the 100? The foreigners wonder which rosary they will become part of, and those who came at the beginning think that those who have come last will go fast and wonder whether they themselves have a place in the rosary, or whether that is only for those who have come last. What is the result? The Father has the account book, and the position of anyone is not fixed. How did you select the winner in the art competition? First, you made a shortlist of the good ones, and you then chose the first, second and third numbers. You first have to make a shortlist and then fix them, numberwise. So, now, the shortlist has been made but, as yet, no one is fixed.
What are the specialties of the 8 jewels?
The speciality of the eight jewels lies in one particular aspect. The practical memorial of the eight jewels is special in that you are able to see each of the eight powers in their practical lives. If even one power is not so visible in your practical life, then, just as an idol that has an arm missing would not be worthy of being worshipped, in the same way, if one of the powers is missing, you would not be fixed as yet in the list of the eight deities. Secondly, the eight deities are considered to be specially loved by the devotees. ‘Specially loved ones’ means those who are greatly worthy of worship. Every devotee receives every type of method and success from their specially loved deities. Here too, those who are to become part of the eight will be the specially beloved ones now, that is, they will show the path to success through their every thought and activity to the whole Brahmin family and will be considered even now to be great images in front of everyone. They will have all the eight powers and they will be elevated souls, great souls and bestowers of blessings in front of the family. This is the speciality of the eight jewels.
