PREPARATIONS FOR

DIAMOND JUBLIEE - 1996

Jewels for self-progress(from Avyakt BapDada’s murlis)

Beloved Avyakt BapDada has givensignals for self-progress and for thecoming Diamond Jubilee which are tobe followed.

1. Accumulate the treasures ofelevated thoughts, save the wasteand make it best. Use the powerof the mind in actions throughwhich the world is able to have aglimpse of a sparkling diamond.

6

2. Give respect to each others’thoughts and by having this valuein practice for one another andby making such plans, each onewill be seen as diamonds in theDiamond Jubilee.

3. Whatever you say, first do, andthen say.

4. Become the incarnations ofeconomy. Become economical inwaste thoughts, words, time andall the treasures. If you cannotcontrol a thought, then change it.But save it.

7

5. Stay in solitude, that is, becomelost in the depths of the OneFather. Instead of floating on thetop of the waves, become lost inOne, that is, become lost in allthe attainments received from theFather.

6. Mine is only One Baba, no oneelse. Through this stage becomethose who economise andaccumulate all treasures.

7. Bring the speciality of deter-mination to every thought andevery action. Do not have

8

ordinary thoughts, but make apromise. Even if you leave yourbody never break a promise. Nomatter how much you have totolerate or transform, neverbreak your promise.

8. With the speciality of making yourthoughts stable, bring aboutelevated transformation with afast speed. To whatever extentthere is external tension, to thatextent remain stable and freefrom tension. Do not change intoa variety of poses.

9

9. Have courage, become worthy ofreceiving help and experiencesuccess as your birthright. Alwayskeep this slogan in yourawareness - use everything in aworthwhile way and claimsuccess.

10. Adopt the power of divinity andspecialities in every thought andbecome the form of incarnationsin a revealed way.

11. The sun of revelation should bevisible throughout the world. Forthis the torch of purity should

10

constantly burn in an elevatedway. There should not be theslightest upheaval. The morestable the torch of purity remains,the more easily everyone willrecognise the Father and therewill be cries of victory for purity.

12. Hoist the flag of the power oftruth. Baba is the Truth,Knowledge is Truth, the soul isTruth and Brahmin life is also theTruth. Hoist the flag of truthbeforehand and only thenthrough the speciality of truth willthe sparkle of the true diamonds

11

increase, not only in Bharat butthroughout the entire world.

13. Do service through your divinefeatures, through your cheerfulfeatures and your unshakeableimmovable stage. To servethrough the features means togive power in practical l ife.Because the features talk, theycannot remain hidden.

14. The meaning of celebrating aDiamond Jubilee doesn’t meanjust to have a programme but tobecome a diamond and to give

12

the message of becoming adiamond. To serve through thepractical form means to celebratethe Diamond Jubilee.

15. Along with listening and speakingnow become those who have theauthority of experience. Thegreatest authority is experience.Bring every virtue, powers andthe points of knowledge intoexperience.

16. Always remain busy in actions. Tohave yoga with actions is laziness,this is why you must experience

13

yoga whilst performing actions.Pay attention to this practice.

17. If you make a mistake, instead ofthinking about it become theembodiment of remembrance.The paper is finished and so don’twaste time thinking about it.Emerge the sanskar of having thestage free from impure thoughtsin one second.

18. Instead of allowing the waste toflow, speedily transform theconsciousness of the body intothe state of soul consciousness

14

with the power of transformation.By bringing transformation withina second, time and thoughts willbe saved. The waste willaccumulate into best.

19. Become cool (gentle) andhumble. This is the sign of beingreal gold. Mine’ is an alloy in this.This is the reason to imbibe agentle nature. If there is anythingthat causes anger stay in theembodiment of coolness andtransform that and you will enterthe first number.

15

20. The nature of seeing, listening,talking and thinking waste hasbecome natural. Now transformthat nature.

21. Now there has to be unlimiteddistaste in a revealed form in thepresent atmosphere. This is thefoundation of time coming close.The accurate attitude of distastemeans the more you come intoclose connections the moreloving and detached you are.There should be theconsciousness of being humbleand an instrument. Whilst doing

16

service check if there is theconsciousness of being aninstrument or if there is attach-ment. Instead of `Baba', `Baba',`mine' doesn’t come, does it?

22. Instead of remarking aboutothers, become your own judge,not a lawyer.

23. Just as you create an atmosphereof service, in the same way nowcreate an atmosphere in whichthere is an unlimited attitude ofdistaste. The waves of unlimited

17

distaste should emerge from theheart not just from the head.

24. In the form of an ancestor, whilstseeing all souls with feelings ofmercy, become bestowers ofblessings and give the donationof good wishes and pure feelings.The stock of good wishes andpure feelings should be full. Puta full stop to waste.

25. Every hour check whatever wordsyou speak. Was there soulconsciousness and good wishes?Was there the feeling of jealousy,

18

malice or hatred? The meaningof powerful thoughts is that thosewords should give others anexperience of attainment. Inevery word there should be thefeeling of attainment andessence. If there is no essencein the words, then instead ofearning, there is loss.

26. Time, matter and Maya are waitingto take leave. Celebratecompletion and they will takeleave. Become ever-ready. Lookat the picture of your fortune inthe mirror of knowledge and fixthe date of completion.

19

27. In order to make the soul worthyand yogi, and in order to preparethe land, together with words,create an atmosphere with yourattitude. Become the lighthouseand mighthouse and spread suchlight that everyone can see that Iam a soul and Baba is mine.

28. There is the subtle obstacle ofbody consciousness in front of ayogi in the flying stage. In thedoorway of arrogance there is `I'and `mine'. The method to finisharrogance is to have theconsciousness of karan-

20

karavanhar. So check that thereis no arrogance of the intellect,arrogance of your elevatedsanskars, arrogance of your goodnature, of your specialities,arrogance of your talents, or thearrogance of success in service.

29. Now give leave to bitterness forever. There shouldn’t be even atrace of bitterness. Your faceshould be very sweet.

30. Give leave to every trace of Mayaand give congratulations to theself and others on being the

21

embodiment of an angel. Nomatter what someone is like,transform them with your drishtiand consciousness.

31. Make a firm promise that you willnot see anyone’s weaknesses ordefects, hear of them or speakabout them.

32. Do not come under the influenceof anyone’s company. We areworld transformers and so thecompany, vibrations oratmosphere cannot change us.

22

33. When there is anything impure,you must turn it into pure andmake it yours. Even while seeingsomething impure, see it withpure vision. Change the word‘cause‘ into ‘solution‘. Do not seethe cause.

34. To get angry with someone, toargue, to bother someone, toprove something - finish theseMickey Mouse games andbecome powerful.

35. Whoever comes into contact,whether gyani or agyani, give

23

them a gift of sweet words andwords filled with love. Give a giftof one or other virtue or power.No one should leave empty-handed.

36. If no one gives you love, give loveand take love. If someone getsangry with you, take that in theform of love. Change theirnegativity into positivity.

37. The two words `I' and `mine'cause disturbance. That is whywhen `I' comes, remember yourvarious titles and attainments.

24

And when `mine' comes,remember ‘my Baba‘. With thisyou will become a constant yogi.

38. Whenever there is anythingharmful or disturbing, rememberthe things that bring benefit.Merge the limited feelings of`mine' into the unlimited.Keeping the variety ofimperishable attainments in frontof you, set yourself on the seatof your titles.

39. This is the year for celebrating,the Year of Pleasure. Stay in the

25

form of an angel. Some angelsare flying, some are giving amessage and some are on thisearth performing actions throughtheir sense organs. The world ischanging and the world of angelsshould be visible.

40. Become child and master. Thisland and the foreign lands shouldcome together and make such asound that it can be heardthroughout the entire world. Letthere be a combined programmeof this land and foreign lands inGyan Sarovar in which there is at

26

least one representative from thedifferent states. It should be sucha programme that has nevertaken place anywhere in theworld before.

41. No matter what the circum-stances are, the circumstancescan go but the happiness shouldstay. Always remain happy anddistribute dilkush mitthay (thehappy heart). If anyone talks toyou about things which causeyou sorrow, take happiness andgive happiness.

27

42. In order to come close in therosary, keep a close relationshipwith the divine family. Do notmove away. By having faith in theintellect in the Brahmin familyunder all circumstances, you willbecome the ones who have aright to the kingdom.

43. Have faith in the intellect in theself, the Father, drama and thedivine family and experience astable stage. The sign of faith isto have a constant stage of beingworriless. No wasteful thoughtssuch as `how', `what', `why'

28

should emerge in the intellectbecause this weakness of wastethoughts will come in front of youlike the messenger of death.Even the sanskars of beinghopeless will confront you in theend.

44. Just as one with the nature ofanger will get angry, in the sameway you will make your naturethat of giving love. The entireworld can get angry with you andtell lies, but the Master Ocean ofLove will not mind. There shouldnot be a trace of other feelings in

29

your eyes, attitude or drishti.Don’t take any notice of thatwhich is waste but follow thatwhich is powerful. Don’t have theattitude of not caring about themaryadas.

45. Become those who imbibe thevirtues of others, give regard, seetheir specialities but follow thefather Brahma. God is only oneGuide. Brahma is a corporealexample. No brother or sister canbecome a guide.

30

46. Now complete this service andbring about completion. Servicewill be completed when therosary of at least nine hundredthousand is ready. You have tobring the time closer through yourcomplete stage. There should beno disturbance in your meditationwhen there are no facilities.

47. If you have love for Brahma Baba,then your actions and speechshould be like Brahma Baba. Tofollow in the footsteps means tofollow the father. Just as BrahmaBaba took the first step in being

31

obedient, in the same way fromamrit vela until night, whateverdirections Baba gives, followthem obediently and takeblessings from the Father and thefamily. Remain double lightyourself and make others light.

48. Just as Brahma Baba became aNo. 1 example in renunciation,become total renunciates. A totalrenunciate means to renouncethe old relationships and the oldnature and sanskars. Become arenunciate even of theconsciousness that `I am arenunciate'.

32

49 Now check, close and finish allthe files of causes and crying. Toget angry is also crying. To getannoyed is also crying of themind. Finish both these files.

50. Where there is a problem thepower of solutions finishes. Thatis why you should finish theproblem and become theembodiment of solutions. Don’tlet reasons or excuses depriveyou of blessings. Sit on thethrone of being an observer andbecome your own judge andjudge yourself because theaccurate throne of discrimination

33

is the stage of being the observer.By not being an observer you seeother people’s affairs andactivities more than your own.

51. Whatever takes place in thedrama has a lot of sense becausewhatever comes goes, butchildren have less sense becausethey continue to hold on tothings. Some say this matter hasbeen going on for two days orcontinuing for two hours, so howmuch loss there is. That is whyyou should become sensible,understand the problem andfinish it.

34

52. Become faithful to the Father,Teacher and Satguru. Becomeobedient to the Father, Teacherand Satguru and use all thetreasures of the self, knowledge,powers, virtues, the importanceof elevated time, and elevatedtreasures of thoughts, in this wayuse all the treasures in action atall times. Not even one thoughtor breath or second should bewasted. Never use your thoughtsanywhere else without theFather’s orders.

35

53. Sadhana (deep meditation) is theseed and the facilities (sadhan)are its expansion. So don’t hidethe seed in the expansion.Reveal the seed. These facilitiesare for service not to make youthose who experience comfort.Now remove the Dunlop pillowand the bedding and become thequeens of the floor. OK, sleepon the bed but your stage shouldbe that of kings and queens ofthe floor. Your effort should bethat of hope and enthusiasm andof attention.

36

54. According to the present time,now, in the timetable of yourservice centres and service,create an attitude of unlimiteddisinterest. Now your timetablehas become that of rest. Youmake little sicknesses of thebody an excuse for laziness.Before, there used to be illnessbut the enthusiasm of servicewould merge the sickness. Nowrenounce the excuses forlaziness and emerge the mergedunlimited attitude of distaste.

37

55. Brahma Baba, though old andclearing the accounts of the body,revealed the stage of unlimiteddisinterest and never acceptedany facilities for himself right tothe end. Follow the father in thisway. This year, all those at thecentres, the companions of thecentre and the students, shouldbecome No. 1 in this andBapDada will give such servicecentres a special prize.

56. The proof of love is to become acomplete angel. As you moveand as you walk, you should be

38

visible to everyone as angels.Your speech, activity, life shouldall be those of an angel. Themeaning of angel is double light.Do not become light in yourtimetable. You should not dowhatever comes. No, tighten yourtimetable and adopt a state oflightness in your relationships.Instead of copying one another,copy the father. Give BapDadathe proof of love in this way, thenMaya and matter will clap thehands of wah, of victory.

39

57. Never become disloyal to theFather with the mind or in theintellect. The meaning of loyaltyis One Father and no one else.Nothing should attract you, evenin thought - not the body, bodilyrelations, objects of the body orany bodily beings. The attractionof material objects and facilitiesalso becomes the instrument inbreaking your loyalty.

58. There should not even be theslightest trace of being impressedby anyone. If you are impressedby a particular person, whether

40

on account of their virtues, theirservice or their good sanskars,you cannot be called the oneswho are loyal. To be attracted byeveryone’s specialities in anunlimited way is one thing but tobe especially attracted to oneindividual or facility, is to bedisloyal.

59. The breath of Brahman life is zealand enthusiasm. That is whyunder no circumstances shouldyou allow zeal and enthusiasm todiminish. This is why you shouldsee, hear and think about every

41

individual and matter with apositive attitude. If anythingcomes in a negative form, changeit into positivity. Your mind andintellect should become such thatno negativity can touch them.When scenes of distress come infront, change them into scenesof wah, wah.

60. Till the end Maya will become onewith many forms and will showmany forms. Maya knows verywell how to become one withmany forms very quickly.Whatever is your stage, Maya will

42

adopt that form of obstacle. Thatis why you should becometrikaldarshi and trinetri in orderto see and recognise Maya.

61. Any severe difficulty which comesdoes so to teach you a lesson;that is the teacher to teach you.This is why you should not beafraid on seeing it. No matterwhat the circumstance, whethergood or that which shakes you,adjust yourself every time withinthat circumstance. The power ofadjustment will make youconstantly victorious.

43

62. The condition of the world isbecoming serious. It will becomemore serious and will continue todo so. Even though the time maybe sensitive, your nature shouldnot be so. Your final paper willtake place at a sensitive time. Towhatever extent you have thepower of adjustment within you,so you will be able to pass withhonour at a sensitive time.Whenever circumstances arise, atthe time make yourself a student,become your own teacher andgive yourself the positive thinkingcourse.

44

63. While seeing circumstances,always say wah, wah, not why?,why? If `why?' comes, thepressure of zeal and enthusiasmlessens. If, in place of `why?'you fly, then all the circumstanceswill decrease and become likesmall toys. When there are anyscenes of distress, transformthem into wah, wah and they willchange and you will also change.

64. Always remember that I am aBrahmin soul who has theauthority of the power of religion

45

and the power of ruling. This isthe faith and intoxication of thisconsciousness. If there is faiththen there is intoxication. If thereis less faith then there is lessintoxication. And so check - doall these powers remain with meconstantly or do they get lost andcome only sometimes?

65. Throughout the entire day, do youset yourself on the seat of havinga right, or do you get upset veryeasily? Does it happen that youget upset over small matters, yourface changes and your mood

46

changes? You celebrate Shivratriso what do you give to the onewhose birthday it is? You give agift, don’t you? So what gift doyou give to Baba? `To becomeupset' - give this gift and you willnot become upset. Baba doesnot like that face. BapDada wantsto see every child’s face as aconstantly blossoming spiritualrose. Not a wilted one, but in fullbloom. You only do that whichthe one you love likes. Do youhave love for the Father? Nowno one’s news should comesaying “It was like this, that is why

47

I got upset, the situation wassuch.”

66. When circumstances or mattercome in the form of upheaval,remember two words - `Not and`Dot'. If anything is wrong thenthink ‘not ‘ - it should not be done.Not to think, not to do and not tospeak. So do not apply questionmarks, exclamation marks or acomma, apply a full stop.

67. The forms of body consciousnessare becoming very subtle. Nowthey don’t come in a gross form,

48

but in subtle and royal form. Justas you give your suggestions withhappiness, in the same wayaccept other people’s suggest-ions with happiness. Have asmuch regard for other people’sadvice and ideas as you do foryour own. If you don’t like theirideas, to give your own issomething different, but to beaffected by them and for thestage to fluctuate - this service isnot service. To adjust and tounderstand and consider theirthoughts as your own is to giveregard to the ideas of others.

49

68. If you are very busy in action, themind and intellect are engaged inkarmic relationships, not inbondage but in relationships. Butif you receive directions for a fullstop, would you be able to applyit? Practise this for even onesecond and continue to practisebecause the last certificate youreceive will be on applying a fullstop within a second. Ones withsuch practice will pass withhonour.

50

69. Baba has given the inheritance ofall attainments to every child.The soul that is complete with allattainments will always be knownas content. Their face will alwaysappear happy. No questions willarise in their mind. They will beconstant jewels of contentmentand will spread the vibrations ofthe sparkle of contentment toothers.

70. Seeing and speaking of otherpeople’s weaknesses whencoming into contact andrelationship, you are influencedand say `This one did it and that

51

is why I did it. Baba, you shouldunderstand to what extent I willcontinue to tolerate! I am still aneffort-maker so a little waste willcome.' These wasteful mattersare very tasty. By these wastefulmatters, wasteful thinking ,listening and speaking and alsodoing, as you move along theinterest increases. The sanskarsof waste finish the power ofdiscrimination of the intellect.That is why the easiest methodto remain content is to alwayskeep one or other specialattainment in front of you.

52

71. In the world, the main thingeveryone wants to attain is nameand fame. Here also you want thefame but on an unlimited scale.If for any reason your name isincognito and you want yourname to be mentioned, it isaccurate but still, because of yourkarmic account with another soulor because of their sanskars, yourname is not mentioned, you areright and that one is wrong, andstill that one’s name is mentionedand not yours, then your name isfixed in the rosary of victory sodo not worry about it. The more

53

you run after limited regard themore like a shadow this limitedthing is. These shadows arevisible in the sun of Maya but arenothing.

72. Remain alert in every dharna.Don’t become lazy because timeis coming close and what is thenews that time is giving? Becomeequal and become complete.See the challenge of the time.Don’t waste time. Time has thegreatest value because the praisefor time is `If not now, thennever.' In fact, while walking

54

along the road you listen to twothings and you do two things,time has also gone in that way.

73. The time of completion is for thenew ones as well as for the oldones. Do not think we shouldalso get 60 years. No, you haveto make up that time. If you camelast you have to go fast. The timefor becoming complete and forcompletion are the same foreveryone so whether you are newor old, consider yourself a soulwho has the right to the kingdom.Always apply the tilak of

55

awareness. It should neverfinish. Or it is applied onlysometimes? Those who have aright to the kingdom means theones who wear the tilak. The tilakof this awareness should beimperishable. I am not ordinarybut the one who wears the tilak.I wear the crown of theresponsibility of world benefit.Baba alone is not this but you areall this together with the Father.

74. Practise this - in one second thesoul goes beyond the body andbecomes ever-ready. Because

56

everyone promises we will livetogether and go together so youhave to be ready to go. Thereare no golden, silver, copper orsubtle chains, are there? You tryto fly and those ropes bring youdown? So check and experiencebecoming bodiless in onesecond.

75. Keep the spiritual personality inyour consciousness. The eyes ofthose with a high personality willnot be drawn to anyone - this oneis doing this, that one is doingthat, this one is like this, she is

57

like that, why should I not do it?I can also do it. Their eyes willnot be drawn to other people’sattainments because the one withspiritual personality is completewith all attainments. They arecomplete in their nature, they arecomplete in their sanskars, fulland complete in their relation-ships and contacts. Such aperson will not experienceanything lacking in their treasuresof attainment and because ofbeing full in the mind they willremain content.

58

76. In order to become theconqueror of Maya, always keepthe personality of purity in anemerged form. You understandthat you are this but don’t mergeit, keep it in your awareness. Inwhomsoever’s intellect thisremains in the emerged form, thisconsciousness is the basis for apowerful stage. Maya cannotcome where there is power. It isimpossible for Maya to come to apowerful soul. There is no needto make effort. Maya comes andyou chase it away. No, your duty

59

is to always remain theconquerors of Maya.

77. Purity is the spiritual personality.The sign of purity is cleanlinessand truth. In fact, if throughoutthe entire day, whether sitting orspeaking or doing physicalservice or subtle service, it is notdone according to the rightmethod, if there is the slightestdifference in using the rightmethod, then that is notcleanliness or purity. Wastethoughts are also impurity. Why?Because time is wasted and the

60

contentment also finishes andthere will be a difference in thedegress in the final stage ofpurity. You cannot become theone with sixteen celestialdegress. So from amritvela, checkdeeply your thoughts, words,actions and service and see thatit is according to the rightmethod.

78. Now in this year the season isfinishing and so BapDada has onethought. Everyone has observedthe vow of celibacy so easily butin the next season only those who

61

don’t get angry should come. Isthis possible or will you fail? Youwill tell the truth, won’t you? Sodon’t write on the form for howlong you have been celibate butfor how long you did not getangry. Keep a stern eye on anger.With introvertedness keep yourmouth closed. Anger will comewhen the mouth opens. So in thenext season there will be themela of souls who become freefrom anger. Is this acceptable?
