Today, there was a purity competition in the subtle region. Does each one of you know what number you would have received? There are always first, second and third prizes. Which prize did each of you receive? The children who claim a right to the first prize are those who are full in all five aspects. The first is the halo of light, which would be a halo of a full circle. Just as the moon is sometimes a full circle and sometimes only half a circle, so too, the halo of some of you is only half a halo. Some have a full halo, whereas that of others is just like a line, which would be said to be just in name. Therefore, the first number, the first prize, is for those who have the full halo of light. The second aspect is a tilak sparkling on the forehead. The symbol of the soul-conscious awareness, the awareness of brotherhood, is a dot (tilak) sparkling in the centre of the forehead. The third aspect is the sparkle of spirituality in your eyes, which means to have spiritual vision. It is the sparkle of the practice of not seeing the body whilst looking at it, but only seeing the spirit. It is the sparkle of spiritual love. The lips have the smile of having attained God, of the soul having met the Supreme Soul and also of having attained everything. On the face was the red colour (lali) of the happiness of meeting the Mother, the Father and the elevated family after a cycle of being separated from them. The Father is red (lal), souls are red, the home is red and, now that you belong to the Father, you have become especially beloved ones (laal). So, this is the colour of so many different things! Those who are full of all of these five lines of fortune are those who claim the first prize.

The way to go from the second class to the first class or the air-conditioned class is very easy. It is a method of just a second. It is to have the one thought: “I am originally a pure soul.” Your original form was not that of impurity. Both your eternal and your original forms are pure. Impurity is artificial; it is not real. It is a gift from shudras. How can Brahmins use the things that belong to shudras? Simply have this one thought: Originally and eternally, my real form is of a pure soul. Whenever you see others, look at their original and eternal real forms. Look at these forms of yourself and of others and realise the real form! Put on your red spectacles, your spectacles of awareness, not physical spectacles, and think “I am red, that soul is red and the Father too is red”. So, these are red spectacles, are they not?
