Sudesh Didi – Connecting to the Seed - 19th February 2023 Gyan Sarovar, Madhuban
21 March 2023
Om shanti. Om shanti. Om shanti. I am very happy to see you all. This time is the first time I am away as the majority of the family is here, and I was in Shantivan. But I really felt we were together with each other. Still, meeting together face-to-face has its own charm, deep understanding, and near-ness. We all are near to each other, greeting each other.
All of you are together here and have already experienced the power of togetherness. The power of togetherness and the connection with the Seed, which comes first? When we are really together, there is love, harmony, understanding each other, acceptance, respect, communication, and cooperation. What is the reason behind us enjoying each other, eating and playing together and studying together like this? It is that in our hearts, in all of us, is Baba, the Seed, the Creator. We are the creations of the One Creator, the Seed, the Father of all souls.
Although we speak about one world, one God, and one family, the practical experience is the oneness, that we are deeply connected with the Creator.
What is the meaning of being connected? When we say that we are the creation of the One Creator, we are the children of the one Father, we are all souls connected to one God, what is the purpose of exploring or speaking about it? What is the proof of being connected?
We see the picture of a tree, or the branches that are connected to the tree. We see the beauty of the tree, but the power in these branches and the fruits they bear, come from the roots, from the seed. This means the seed is connected throughout the whole cycle. We are aware that the seed is able to give its power only when the fruits and the seed are connected.
When we are connected with the Seed, the power is in the soul. This is the living Seed. The living Seed is the living power; the living Seed is the eternal power; the living Seed is the Truth, which contains the truth throughout the whole cycle. When the soul and the Seed are connected, when we, the seeds, are connected with Baba, the Seed, in our seed consciousness, in our soul consciousness, we are able to experience our power. The moment we get disconnected, the power scatters; it is divided. The energy shifts. Our energy gradually gets disconnected. Of course, it is not that then we are not souls; we are souls. For example, many parts of the electrical appliances are originally connected to the generator. The energy is generated into different resources making many things move. When you switch on something and it is not working, you immediately know the power is cut off, though it is still connected. It is the same with us. Baba is the Seed, the Generator. Our power comes from being with the Power, the Source. As we move further and further in the cycle the relationship changes, and the ability of the soul to draw the energy has also become limited. It is just like the electric wire is small, but the generator is powerful. With a small cable, you cannot lift a big mountain. When the cable is powerful, you can use the machine to lift the mountain. It is the same here. When our connection with the Supreme is powerful, we are able to draw more energy. At this time, we are able to draw full energy. As we go through the cycle of time, gradually, we are changing our relationship with God. What was our relationship with God, the Seed, in the Copper Age? At that time, we also said God, the Father. But did we really have a relationship with God as our Father? How did we remember Him? We remember Him and we connected with Him, “Oh God, have mercy on us!” So, a merciful relationship and a loveful relationship, what is the difference? To experience God’s mercy and to experience God’s love, what is the difference? God’s energy is the same, but I was looking for mercy from God, and God was also merciful at that time. What was the subtle change? I was not connected with Him in the same relationship. I called God my Father, but I was a beggar. I was connected as a beggar of God, “Oh, God, give me peace.” “Oh God, give me love.” Internally, I am not connected as the child of God. My consciousness or my energy is connected as a beggar of peace and love at that time.
If a beggar comes to the doorstep of a king, of course, the king would give generously, whether it is food or clothes; whatever the beggar needs. But the king would not say, “Come and stay at my palace.” The beggar, on the other hand would not have the courage to enter the palace. This is an example of how our consciousness had changed. If we were servants, we worked hard and we received a return for that. We were paid according to our dedication; according to the intensity of our devotion, we received our reward. We became successful in whatever activities or whatever demands we had from God.
What about being a child of God? What would be the difference between being a child, a beggar and a servant? Our state of mind is changing, and the energy we draw from God is also changing. The more we are connected with the body and the bodily relations, the more we are attracted towards matter, towards physical objects. Our energy became scattered and divided, and our real source, that is, what is within us, also become weakened.
We felt we had lost something. The relationship was lost. But our love for God and our faith in God were still there. God is God, “He is the Supreme, He is the Bestower, He is the Remover of Sorrow…” We began to sing the praise of God.
A father is naturally concerned for his child without the child asking or begging. He gives everything as property to his child. At this time, having been through the cycle of time, we are once again connected with the original form of the relationship; not just of one relationship with Him, but all relationships with Him. We have created all types of relationships in the worldly sense with matter, with people and with objects. Now at the Confluence Age, we also have our consciousness, the energy of creating, of doing, and giving others what Baba has given us. But in our heart is Baba.
When there is the consciousness of being a child, you automatically develop that inherent personality, inherent quality, that is the inheritance from God. This is the difference between being a beggar, being a servant and being a child. This is why Baba is reminding us again and again: Remember the Father and the inheritance.
When the Incorporeal becomes Corporeal, the Incorporeal teaches us and says, “Forget the body and become bodiless.” The Incorporeal has to become corporeal. We corporeal have to become incorporeal. What have we been doing all the time? To experience motherly love and fatherly inheritance. This is the secret: God does not give His power of love from the Soul World. His Motherly power of love is to give us new awareness, new consciousness when we become connected with God. We, the scattered seed, which have become fruit sometimes, took the seed in our hearts, that fruit is separated from the tree again. You see, this is the cycle of the tree. When the seed and the fruit are separated from the tree, then gradually, the seed has to get the power again. The soul has to become again, with the original power, only when it comes into the corporeal form once again, into the corporeal body. God, once again, comes into the corporeal body, and we receive power by becoming bodiless.
Being bodiless is actually the effort. The bodiless coming into the body, when we are really connected with Him, we have the power to let go of all our attachment, which created blockage in us in receiving the power from God.
So, what does He teach us? He comes in the body to make us bodiless. The more bodiless I am, the more I am able to develop my power, by connecting with what He is showering upon me every day: the power of knowledge, the power of love, the power of purity, the power of blessing, the power of happiness. I am able to receive this when I let go of the external bodily form which I am covered with, and become bodiless again and again.
What is His love? First, He gives me the power to die, and the power to take birth. When we are connected with God, we die. What power do we receive? The power of the happiness of heaven.
Just as today’s Murli says, people say when we die, we go to heaven. God makes us bodiless; this means to die. He comes in the body to make us bodiless. This means to die, and then once again, He fills me with the power of peace, love and happiness, so that I live in the world with all the fruits which I had lost as we came in the cycle.
We receive all the powers at this time; we receive the power of matter, bodily health and wealth, happiness, love, prosperity, purity, harmony in relationship… heaven on this earth, the power which we receive at this time by being bodiless. God has to come into the body to make me bodiless. The more I am bodiless, the more I am connected with the Seed. Then, Godly power and my power attract each other.
What is connection? Connection is not of the body; connection is love begets love, like attracts like. When God makes me bodiless, I die a living death. I become alive through the energy that was latent in me. That means we connect with Baba, and develop a relationship. The internal energy is the original nature of myself, of purity. The original power of purity means there is nothing mixed in me. What is not polluted is not influenced. When I, the soul, receive this power of purity, the pure divine intellect is able to create a new consciousness. And the relationship with Baba is not only with the Father, but also the Motherly love, which enables the power to learn. The intellect becomes divine, and as we experience the relationship with the Mother, innocence develops, and softness comes. When the seed grows, it does not grow into a hard form; it is with gentleness. So, Baba creates with Motherly love, He sustains us; He connects us with our innocence and purity.
The more I connect as the bodiless soul, He connects me with my own power of silence. The more we connect with our inner peace, the more we become internally silent. The mind speaks less and less; it speaks softly; it begins to speak to the self and to Baba with the natural quality of purity and power develops. By being bodiless, the quality of peace is not the aspect of peace. Peace is also patience, being a detached observer, and the mind being peaceful. Different qualities are being developed. Connecting with the Seed means, the original qualities of God are becoming my qualities. As my qualities are growing gradually, they become pulled by God, like a magnet pulling the clean needle.
The more I become pure, the more I am pulled by Baba, and I receive His energy. The connection is becoming strong, the cable is becoming powerful. It is not only one relationship; this cable is one wire containing many things. The crane can lift the heaviest luggage. We have the power to face, the power to cooperate, and the power to let go; the Godly power which helps us to face worldly situations. This is the Motherly and Fatherly relationships, and the relationship with the Teacher. The relationship with the Seed means the Mother and the Father; the relationship with the Teacher means to develop my intellect, to clean my intellect.
Keeping the connection strong means the yoga power increases, not only soul consciousness. Yoga power increases through soul consciousness with knowledge. This means I the soul, am filled with Godly qualities: knowledge peace, love, purity, happiness and benevolence. Baba’s power is empowering me, in order for me to face the situations and the problems.
Then, through the relationship with the Satguru, I begin to recognise, and I have the power to realise what I had lost, and also to recognise what God is giving me, the inheritance from my Father, of all the blessings. Everything is received without any effort. In the state of true soul consciousness, there isn’t the feeling of making effort, but it is the feeling that I am enjoying the result of soul consciousness, it is about enjoying the result of Baba’s blessings. Truth becomes living; relationships become living. True light emerges.
The fruition, the part of connecting to the Seed, is that there is natural service, and there is a lot of happiness. The more we are connected with the Truth, we experience that Baba is doing service, while we enjoy observing how Baba is doing service, which is known as the power to become detached. Just as the seed becomes detached, then it has the power to grow new fruits, Baba enables us to fill ourselves with all the powers, and become totally successful, yet totally detached just like the seeds.
What is the cycle of the seed? In nature, how is the power in the seed visible? The more detached it is, the more power there is to create a new creation. When there is the power of truth, that I am a powerful child of the Almighty, I am a knowledgeable soul, I am a loveful soul, I am a powerful soul, I have total power to be detached and let go of ‘I’ and ‘my’.
How do we know we have become detached? We become detached when we begin to enjoy without consciously thinking we have become detached; you taste so much sweetness, that the “I am doing” does not remain in us. It is Baba who is giving and Baba who is empowering us.
When the seed is raw and I become possessive of that, this means I have not developed the power. The real power of the seed connected with the Seed is to become the ‘seed’, to become like the Father. To become the seed means that after all this expansion, of knowledge, or yoga, of dharna, of service, or success, we become totally detached; that is the power. Become a total trustee; that is the power. Let go; that is the power. This is what a seed does.
This is what Baba does: He comes, showers His blessings, gives us all kinds of powers, and then He goes and sits in the Soul World. Who enjoy the fruit of love, purity, peace and happiness? His children. At this time, when we recognise that we have to become like Him, that is real Godly power. The real Godly power is that He is detached, and what is blocking us from enjoying that power is attachment. So, the final blessing is to become the destroyer of attachment, and the embodiment of awareness of truth, smriti lagata; to become the embodiment of smriti and sthiti, the embodiment of the awareness of what my qualities and powers are. These are Godly gifts which I, the creation of the Creator, have received as an inheritance.
The seed grows in the earth. The stronger it is becoming; it is going above the earth. The more it is detached from the earth, it begins to bear fruits. The more I am able to be detached, the more I am able to experience Godly power. The power is given by Baba, but I enjoy it and become detached, and this is the secret of being detached. I enjoy peace, happiness, Baba’s love, and churning knowledge, but I am totally detached. This is yoga, the power to become detached.
When I am attached, it means my stage is not strong, and I am not yet powerful, I am attached to my seed. It is just like when the fruit is unripe, it is attached. Even when you cut it with a sharp knife, the seed will not separate. But the more it takes power from the Sun, the colour begins to change from green to yellow, the more powerful, softness increases, and sweetness increases. Then, what is the power in the seed? We don’t need a knife, as the fruit is so soft that you can open it very easily. The seed becomes separated. This separated seed has the power to grow its fruit again.
In order to experience that I come into the Golden Age with all my powers, I have to have the power to become bodiless, to become detached, to become egoless. The wonder is to have the balance of fullness, that is, to enjoy peace, love, happiness, company, and of total detachment. Is it possible? Brahma Baba lived this; Dadis lived this. They lived with this power; they had everything and yet, very light, very easy and totally detached.
So, the power to be full and the power to be detached; the power to be the master of my body, and the power to be bodiless. To overcome the weakness of the body; attraction, temptation and desires are the weakness of body consciousness. Baba comes into this corporeal world but is not influenced. He gives so much joy to the souls, and the souls can feel His love deeply. Then next minute, He is so detached that for 500 years; He does not remember us. It is love and detachment.
Baba’s love is so powerful that He fills us with detachment and with truth. He is so loveful that He gives us everything; He appreciates us and fills us with all His powers. And next, He goes and stays in the Soul World, totally detached. He only comes at the end of the cycle, once again, to give us power; the real power to become connected with the root and tree. It brings all of us together on this tree; branches and branches emerge, and each individual fruit has its own seed, and that creates a new tree. We are together, growing with the tree. I cannot grow alone, and think it is ok, I am a branch and I study very well and make good efforts. I cannot just think I have achieved everything, then cut myself off the tree, breaking off from the family due to any reason, whether storms come, doubt emerges, whether I cannot tolerate the behaviour and circumstances. I must not cut off and break myself off; I must not allow the storm to break me off from this gathering. I might have fruit for a period, and I say my yoga is very good, and my dharna is very good; I might think I am having extra yoga and enjoying myself meditating alone with deep yoga. But can this branch create new fruit?
On the one side, it is important to become detached, and on the other side, it is very important to remain together. So, we are together and yet, totally detached. We are making ourselves full: knowledgeful, blissful, peaceful, powerful, and yet, this fullness is given to the fruit. The seed does not eat its own fruit; the power to go beyond praise and defamation, throwing the seed away as rubbish, the tree will grow with the same respect and the same potential. So, the power to remain constant with my potential, which God fills in the soul.
This is why God is praised a lot, He is also defamed a lot. This is why sometimes Baba says, “You have defamed me by putting Me in the cats and dogs, in the dust.” He is not sensitive about His defamation, He has so much love for us that He does not want our intellect to get scattered from here and there, that we move away from the Seed. He wants us to connect to the Source. When I am connected with the Source, I remain always full. When I understand that this is the power of gathering as we learn from each other, we create a new connection, and the new world is created with the power of gathering. The work is not done alone, it is the success of the cooperation from all of us together. The tree will not grow by itself; it needs the earth, water, sunshine, the season and the environment. It does not grow alone. It is together, though the destination is to be alone again.
So, this is our journey to be connected with the family, to develop this power and also connected with Baba, to give this power to others and to receive power from each other. The tree becomes beautiful when all the branches are swinging together. The tree looks nice when the wind is there and all the flowers are dancing together. So, there is the beauty of togetherness but there is also the power of being totally detached. God is nyaara and pyara (detached and loving), He is the most Beloved, but is totally detached. So, when we learn this art of being full and yet detached giving but without the consciousness of giving, receiving and thankful for the power we are getting from Baba and from each other. Then, we are always connected with ourselves, with each other and with Baba. Then, we are able to give this power to the whole world. Not only are we connected with this Brahmin family, but we are also connected with the unlimited family because all those from the unlimited family are the branches of the same tree, and Brahma Baba, the great great great grandfather, his generation continues throughout the whole cycle. Eventually, it becomes the seed again.
So, this is how I understand what it means by we are connected. It means all relationships: Mother, Father, Friend, Teacher, Beloved, Guide, Satguru, Companion, Company, and remaining under His canopy. Being with all while being totally detached. This is the power to become detached while remaining totally full.
This is the essence of what I wanted to share. Om shanti.

Sudesh Didi – 29th January 2023 Sunday Morning Class - GCH, London - The Difference between Donation and Charity
2 February 2023
The Difference between Donation and Charity
Om Shanti. Om shanti. Good morning. Golden morning. The beautiful song (Daani bano Mahadaai Bano दानी बनो वरदानी बनो ) we hear in the morning time. The song is the trailer for the story of the drama that is going to be enacted.
“Gyani bano. Mahadaani bano.” Be knowledgeable; be a great donor; be a bestower of blessing. Today’s Murli explains everything very clearly. Hearing the song and having read the Murli, I was thinking that there are stages. We are Baba’s children, and the song is saying donate, donate: become daani, Mahadaani, vardaani (donor, great donor, bestower of blessings). How to become that? You can give a donation only when you have it within. It is also said, “Incognito donation is the act of charity”.
Cooperation, donation, and charity are actually connected with other virtues. You give cooperation with love. When there is love, friendship, communication, easiness with each other, there is good cooperation. Donation requires other qualities whether it is mercy, love sympathy; it is out of feelings, out of love. So, then, what is charity? What is the difference between charity and donation? Charity is the power which brings benevolence to others. It is uplifting the soul and enables the soul to be powerful.
Today, Baba is speaking about donation to the mind; incognito. What you are serving, it is with the power of the mind. To do good wishes, even the mind has to be very pure, peaceful, powerful, with benevolent consciousness that your thoughts are filled with blessings, your thoughts are filled with power, you only see what is good in others. In order to develop this, you need to have yoga power. Then, the question comes: But we are children of the Almighty, so power is in us. But in fact, you need to practice it, use it, in order to donate it, or give it. It is time you learn to give. When we are Baba’s children, as we know that we are souls, and the children of the Almighty Authority, and still, in many situations and many times in our lives, there is no power; not the physical power. God gives us spiritual power, and spiritual power is the power of the soul. And what is that power?
It begins with the power of light, like the powerhouse. The power works here (in the auditorium) when we are connected to the power house (the power station). We have a generator, then different lights are connected, and it works wherever it is needed. God is the Generator, the Almighty Authority. So, we children, as souls, are the children of God. But it is not that every time this power is used; it is when there is a need of the power that the power is used. So, in the Golden Age, we do not use power. We are now the children of the Almighty, and they are called divine beings, deities. They do not use the power consciously, but they are the embodiment of power.
When the sun is shining, you do not think of light or to switch on the light. So, it is natural light. The soul is conscious that I am a point of light; light is might. So that power is called the power of knowledge. The soul is, at this time, recharged with that power. And when the battery is full, it works automatically, you do not have to recharge it. Gradually the same battery becomes discharged, you need to recharge it.
So, this is the time that we need to recharge our battery. We have used it, consumed it, and for that, how we use it, how we consume it, how we make it, lose it, misuse it; this is the knowledge which is, not only knowledge of the soul and God, but it is the knowledge of the whole cycle.
Certain powers we do not use at all in the Golden Age, and they do not exist in us. We are not even aware as they are not the powers. What are those? Brahmin powers; Confluence-aged powers, that is, the power to withdraw, the power to pack up, the power to discriminate, the power to tolerate, the power to accommodate, the power to merge and the power to face. Why would we need to use them? In the Golden Age, these powers do not exist. In fact, these power are needed when we have become weak and when we have to fight.
In the Golden Age, there is no donation; there is not any need of any power of such kind. This is the time when we become aware of all the powers: the power the soul, the power of matter and through the whole cycle, which different powers we use at each period. They do not the supernatural power like you can walk on water or go through fire. We are actually developing the power to walk in fire yet do not get burned; fire is around you, but you keep yourself protected. We become firefighters, and which is that power? It is Godly power, the power of peace, the power of love, the power of purity, the power of benevolence.
At this time, the Godly power is received. For that, you need to study, you need to learn how to use that power. Just as to protect ourselves from the fire, the firefighter would not jump into the fire without wearing a fireproof suit. In the same way, we need to change the consciousness from one of the body to that of the soul. We have been identifying ourselves with the body, not only just in one life, but for many lives. And now is the time that we once again imbibe this power and consciousness changes. And we wear the dress of the spiritual power that is originally the power of the soul and the power of God. You have this Godly power as a birthright, and the sanskar in the form of intoxication, “I am a child of God. I am a child of God, I am the child of the Master Almighty,” we use this expression. But you do not know how to use it. It is just like, I notice sometimes children sit on a scooter and pretend they are driving. They sit in the car, and pretend that they were driving their own car, “ It's my car.” So, in the same way, in order to really, really act, you have to learn it. That is why we are children, but it is a school. Baba says, “I am not only the Father, the Father of all souls, but I become the Teacher of you children. So, He makes us students, to study, to understand the method to use. It does not matter how powerful the machinery is, you need to learn to use it. So, we are learning to use these powers, how to walk through the fire. Keep protecting yourself. Fire is not finished just by wearing that fireproof suit. You need the source, the water to finish the fire. The fireproof suit is to protect you, but not to finish the fire. Of course, we become soul conscious, but it is not enough. By becoming body conscious, vices come very quickly: jealousy, hatred, rejection, and violence. Body consciousness opens the door to all these, and with no power to go through it, we begin to burn in it. Jealousy is burning the heart. Anger is not only burning the heart, but even the energy level becomes so weak. All these vices: lust anger, greed, and attachment, they are all different; they each have a different energy which destroys our true power. So, we have the power, we develop this power, but it has to be in the connection with God, the Generator, inside. So, we are not only studying knowledge, we become Raja yogi.
Yoga is needed, and power is needed. This understanding is not enough. And so, and then you become Raj Yogi. In order to have this power, you need to become Raj Rishi. Rishi means you have to have the power of purity, pure consciousness. Otherwise, the virtues which we have, we will begin to use it with a selfish motive, we will begin to use them with the wrong authority, or we begin to use them to cause yourself harm and harm others. The wrong authorities will be used.
Spiritual authority is the right authority. So, what do we have to donate? How do we donate? The power of the mind is the best power, incognito power. And these powers are to empower others. The real power of the mind is to make the other souls’ minds powerful. It is not a visible thing; it is invisible. So, it means, in order to give power to other souls with the mind, my mind has to be very clean, peaceful, pure, stable, benevolent, merciful, loveful, forgiving and able to let go. So, these powers are to control myself. If the other person is getting angry, and I want to give the power, I want to finish myself from that anger; I have to have the power at that time, that I am a peaceful soul. I have to develop my peace. When I am not reacting, and I am patient, what happens? You do not see anything, as that person is shouting at you, inside you hear yourself say, “I am a merciful soul.” And I have knowledge as to why this person gets angry? You do not need to ask, “Why are you getting angry?” You know why: There are expectations, or there is some misunderstanding, or there is some tiredness. So, there are certain reactions coming in front of you, and you are protected automatically. At that time, I have mercy on myself and mercy on others.
I first fill myself with the right understanding, with the right virtues and with the right consciousness. So, it is only not the power of the mind. It is the power of intellect, because the intellect is making you understand: Be cool. If somebody is getting angry, and is shouting at you, don’t think: This person is shouting. What is my karma that I have to tolerate all these situations. With understanding, we think: What a wonderful drama, I am in a Disneyland, and the person is dressed up as a monkey or a tiger, but behind the costume, this is a very beautiful person. So, the beautiful person I am seeing is the real person behind the costume. When I see it with this consciousness, I am not allowing myself to take in their anger. Otherwise, I am not using the water to put out the fire. So, I have to use the water of knowledge. I need to shower on them in order to protect myself.
Instead of why, what, where, how, who, and why why, why, “Why makes me cry”, use the power of knowledge, the power of peace, the power of love and the power of good wishes. All these are in the soul; this is spiritual power. So, from why, why, why, knowledge gives us the understanding of why. Instead of asking them what, we ask ourselves: What is the solution? What is the reason? How can it be resolved? When I use knowledge, the how, why, what, are used to seek solutions. The same screw, I can tie something over it; the same screw, I am spinning it. Depends on how I am spinning it I make something tight or I can make something loose. With the power of knowledge, we change our attitude and become a detached observer. But it is not enough; it is for protection only. The action is to give the power that Baba has given us. How will it reach? Only when I have patience, and honesty to help that soul, and not have a negative vision at that time, thinking he is always angry, this person is like that. Otherwise, I would have put an obstacle in myself, and would not be able to make myself free.
In order to use good wishes and pure feeling, I have to change my feeling first. And when the feelings become deeper and deeper, the vibrations will change that person. If I say, “Why are you getting angry, that person will become angrier, “I want to prove that you are wrong,” as if putting oil in the fire. It is the power of controlling the self, the power of the self instead of the power of ruling others. You are living in the same place, and are able to maintain spirituality in yourself. Spirituality becomes reality. Otherwise, we are only relating spirituality to others, but we are not imbibing it ourselves. When the practice is for a limited, the result is also for a limited time. More practice, more result. Knowledge is might, but the power of yoga works practically. So, what is the method? By using the virtues. Knowledge is only through the mouth; power is through the mind; virtue is through action and behaviour. There is sweetness, love, acceptance, and appreciation; there are many different qualities. We have a list of 36, or 38 or 50 qualities, but in order to get the power of virtues, the secret is by seeing the virtues in others, appreciating the virtues of others, as this will enable the virtues to become mine, because what I like will come to me. So, it is the secret to understand, using why, what, how, automatically, you can keep yourself safe.
To give power to others, Baba says we need to make ourselves powerful, and use these virtues in a practical way. In action and reaction, virtues are used in order to protect ourselves and protect others; benevolent actions with mind power. This is Manmanabhav. The first step is to focus your mind on Baba, it means, the concentration of the mind; solitude, becoming soul conscious and go into the depth of it, and introspection. So, there are different methods. So, gyani bano, vardaani bano (be knowledgeable, be bestower of blessings) , mahadaani bano, give great donation to others. With daani , your hand gives like this (Didi gestured the hand giving out something); mahadaani you give from the heart, unlimited (Didi gestured giving with open arms); vardaani (Didi did abhaya mudra, with the right handheld upright at shoulder height, palm open and facing forwards), all these powers (five fingers): knowledge, purity, peace, love and benevolence. Five work together. Just like there is complete soul consciousness, with the mind, intellect and sanksars, three stand together, then the action is perfect. When these five powers are together (gestured the five fingers): knowledge, purity, peace, love, and benevolence and happiness, it means to give happiness to others; when they are together, no fight. Lakshmi does not fight; Durga is fighting, Amba is fighting, what are they fighting, not with human.
We become children, innocent Baba’s children, then we become students, then we become fighters, Godly military, spiritual army. We fight our own inner vices, conquering them and we automatically enable others to conquer theirs. And then, Lakshmiji, with the power of realisation, the discus, the mace, cool down, power of kalash (pitcher), wisdom, all these things are the spiritual power which is shown in the hands of shaktis and deities. So, when these powers are… then we are conquering weaknesses and vices; there is no other enemy. And these are in ourselves. So, we become our friend and we also become our enemy. So, in order to have friendship, I have to cooperate with myself first, then I can cooperate with others. Help myself then help yourself, then God also helps me and help others. So, real cooperation is I give cooperation to myself to cool myself; make myself peaceful, become my own friend, then, become my own teacher, instead of teaching others, when I observe myself, I know this is what I have to change, and then, we are able to give others. Otherwise, Baba is helping us actually, most of the time, when we are doing service, 80% Baba does; touch someone and they become Baba’s children. 20% is ourselves we make effort. If it was all the time, then every time should be a good result. Why it is only one or two times that somebody is touched and next time, what happened? Where has that power gone?
So, Baba keeps our honour, it is God's love; it works in a different way. So, Baba says and then you become a real instrument, really humble. So, the greatest power is the power of humility. Humility, God is bodiless, and Brahma is egoless, and that power works in practical action. So, what is the greatest power? Knowledge and the result is: Be a humble soul, pure, peaceful soul; purity, peace and humility. These are the main powers which automatically work in benevolence in the form of Mahadaani Punya Atma (Great donor and charitable soul). So, then Lakshmi Ji is receiving and giving, receiving and giving.
So, Baba is giving us, we are giving it to others. So, that is the greatest charity. It is incognito because it does not belong to me. It is coming from there; it is going to others. So gyani bano (be knowledgeable), mahadaani bano (be a great donor), vardaani bano (be a bestower of blessings). Lakshmi is vardaani. Maha Lakshmi. Today's Murli explains all these things very clearly. Om shanti.

Madhuban Newsletter in English & Hindi - February 2023
30 January 2023
Dear Divine Family,
Please find attached the Madhuban Newsletter for February 2023 with points for 1-28 February in English and Hindi.
In Baba's yaad,
Rajubhai
Murli Department, Madhuban
Sister Jayanti – 22nd January 2023 – GCH Subtle Effort Cannot Remain Hidden
24 January 2023
The month of January continues and plenty more blessings waiting to be experienced by Baba’s children and miracles to be witnessed.
Baba’s murli today reminds me of the first lesson because Baba is saying: are you truly the embodiment of knowledge and yoga? You listen to knowledge, you share knowledge and that is good - but have you become the one who has the experience of all of these things. Have you been able to see the result of yoga in your own life.
And then Baba has outlined quite a number of things that should be visible in our lives if we are actually experimenting with yoga. So to be the embodiment of knowledge but also to experiment with yoga in different ways and it reminds me of what Dadi Ratanmohini had said and used to underline in many classes - Baba taught them to be soul conscious at every step and they would remind each other as to whether they were being soul conscious and if there was a situation in which it was clear that there wasn’t soul consciousness being practised, then they had permission from each other to remind each other: Manmanabav.
They didn’t say: Remember Shiv Baba, they just said: Manmanabav. But that of course meant soul consciousness and God consciousness and so if we truly experiment just with these two subjects that’s it. I think everything would be transformed so quickly. Baba is asking us if we have been able to change our sanskars. Have you experimented with changing your sanskars? And that happens with the power of yoga.
So all along the line, just laying the foundation very strongly of soul consciousness and 90 per cent of the things that we are dealing with in BK life would be resolved and the other 10 per cent just by connecting with Baba and taking power from Baba.
I was looking at the topics that we have been having for public events for honouring Baba and one was about breaking barriers and the other one yesterday was about human dignity, so these topics have been chosen because these are the topics that people are dealing with. So many of the problems are not only personal relationships but also in terms of communities, countries, international relationships. They are connected with these things and here is Baba giving us such a strong experience of what is soul consciousness and what is God consciousness and reminding us that we have to experiment with this and there are lots of other experiments but particularly, these two things that are the foundation of Raga Yoga and out of all of these the whole subject of identity comes out very strongly and how attached we are to the external identities that we were born into or that our career has given us, our education has given us, and so coming back to basics.
Am I experimenting with soul consciousness, am I experimenting with that connection with Baba even at traffic control for just a minute or a few minutes and seeing how that can work and change situations and in terms of identity it is not just that I am a soul but Baba has reminded us of the original and eternal qualities of the soul. The stage of being the pure soul, the stage of being a soul that has peace.
The other day the murli was on peace and if I am peaceful in all my interactions then there wouldn’t even be negative thoughts. There wouldn’t even be subtle violence in which I impose, or try to impose, my will on others. My idea is the right one and so this is how it should be - but in soul consciousness you are right and I may also be right.
I remember a situation in December 1977. Dadi ji had completed her tour and it was her first tour of the West and it lead to amazing things happening across the world and in particular the start of service in the USA and the inspiration for service at the UN and so when Dadi arrived back in India and many of us were there, Baba met the group first in Baba’s room, and it was still the small room at that time. So it was a very intimate little gathering with Baba and Baba looked around and saw whoever was there and at that time it was Mohiniben, and Baba said Guyana is first and then Baba said Germany is first and by the time He said the third one was first we knew it was going to be first for everyone.
When He first said “first” we could understand that it was a very new level of service that was opening up; service there particularly with the government, but Baba went around saying “first, first, first, first” and so it is a lesson that I have never forgotten because in Baba’s eyes everyone is first individually and the service in that place is first.
If you read the little passages that Baba speaks to the different groups that have come from India, whichever zone Baba is addressing each one has their own speciality and Baba is talking about their specialities and so every state is first and so can I also extend that to my dialogue with others. Accepting that whatever each one is saying is first and is right because they are approaching it from a specific perspective and so I can see that this is the atmosphere that is being generated by extra yoga in Baba’s home.
That love and peace and constant stability in the atmosphere can be extended not just for a few days but for the whole year and all it needs is this practise of soul consciousness and a reminder of God consciousness and that is it. It doesn’t have to take any more effort, no extra detail. Just these two things can bring transformation both inside and outside.
In today’s murli Baba has spoken about watching everything as a game and so if I am soul conscious I can be the detached observer. Magic can happen by knowing the self and knowing God and the power of purity that can be transmitted through drishti.
Today’s murli struck me because Baba is talking about humility coming from the state of being full. How a tree laden with fruit bows down and it is easy to take the fruit and yes we have used that example in terms of the power of tolerance. Baba was using this example in terms of the power of humility but that experience of being full and complete is also the state of being content. If I am content, full, my eyes will not be drawn to anyone or anything because I have all I need. Humble, full and content and no problem in bowing down to others in terms of giving respect. I don’t need anything from you. If you give me respect that is your sanskars that you are creating.
Dadi told someone at one point that if someone has inequalities it doesn’t matter, you have to develop that sanskar of giving respect because that is the sanskar you need to take with you into the Golden Age because in Satyug that is a natural sanskar. It has to be developed here and now - that stage in which I am full and content so I can give respect. I don’t need you to first give me respect and then I am going to give you respect because it is not bargaining or a business. Let me do what I need to do in order to come to my own state of completion and perfection and seeing that that state of purity is the state that can lead us to a state of fullness and feeling complete within the self. When there is that state of purity then there is nothing unclean, not even in thoughts or criticism about others or criticism of what is happening in terms of the Drama and Baba has said that Drama is His daughter so don’t complain about her. She is My sweet daughter.
When the soul is in the state of purity, when there is no complaint about anything or anyone and you feel that state of fullness and completeness, then the state of contentment and humility follow on in a very natural way and so when Baba sometimes reminds us of Brahma Baba’s statement: I have found what I was looking for. I need nothing more. We have to keep this within our consciousness.
Baba sometimes says that as time gets more and more critical and we are seeing all sorts of things happening here and there - issues coming up that you would not expect in a developed world. Now we need to face all of these things happening here or am I going to complain: why, why, why. No it is ok. Baba has told us already. We know what we have to do so let me get on with this. Service at that time is through my stage, my attitude and my drishti. They have to reflect the things that Baba has been teaching me for so many years now. Even if you have not been with Baba for many years - how long did it take Mama to become perfect - to become Mama.
You never saw Baba make visible effort in an external way. It was subtle and Mama was the same. No one ever saw either Baba or Mama make gross effort to change a sanskar. It was subtle work. Early rising for personal yoga and then sakaash for the world. And they did all this back in the 60s and we are trying to practise this today.
We are also reminded that we are on the stage of the world and the world is watching us and seeing us and are we ready for that and if I am ready then it has to be visible to others. That doesn’t remain hidden. The inner effort is hidden but when you are ready that is visible and through drishti, and giving support to others in need.
So am I full and Baba’s murli is telling me today to experiment with everything and if you experiment are you getting the results and if you are not getting a result then check your quality of experimentation and check what is the intention, the attitude and then that is what is going to make a difference.
What is my intention in coming to Baba? No question. We were looking for God or truth and we came to Baba as a result of that and then am I keeping the intention alive that all I want is what Baba can give me. I need nothing more at all and service is a by-product.
If I have found what I was looking for then I wish to share it with family and friends and if you don’t find one BK in the family or friends circle that is OK. Baba says: serve a thousand and you will find one BK so let me carry on serving thousands and a few BKs will definitely emerge.
So today’s murli is almost a continuation of the whole experimentation in silence that we have been having - listening to all the different aspects every day because Baba is emphasising experiment with this and that.
Om shanti

Sister Jayanti – 15th January 2023 – GCH Brahma Baba’s personality was unique and incredible…
18 January 2023
Today in the murli Baba has spoken about the combined form - to what extent was Brahma Baba and Shiv Baba always combined together and to what extent did we see the personality of Brahma Baba shine through. It was difficult to separate the two and you really didn’t need to because they were combined. Of course we say that well, Shiv Baba actually came into Brahma Baba and that is why it was easy for him to be combined and for us we have to be combined, but that is okay. In recent times, a question has been, what effort did Brahma Baba make to become karmateet? Brahma Baba surrendered totally to Shiv Baba very quickly and the immediate gift that he received from Shiv Baba in return for that was his drishti. Baba’s drishti was so powerful that they would feel that they belonged to Baba. And that is true, not just in the early days when people were ready to surrender just simply by seeing Baba – there wasn’t much gyan then – some had trance experiences some didn’t. But yet just simply seeing Baba they felt Baba was their father and there was that sense of belonging. And this continued throughout Baba’s lifetime not just at that point in the early days, but later on also. I met Baba when I was 8 years old as a child and Baba made me feel that he was truly my grandfather and a sense of belonging. In the days of the mountains, Baba would be giving drishti and Baba would disappear and children would ask: Baba, where were you? It felt as if Baba was somewhere else and Baba would say ‘come to Baba’.
In last week’s murli, Baba was talking about London but not just London but all the foreign lands. Baba sending mangos, Baba sending every single tape that was recorded, came to Rajnibhen, so Baba never forgot London in anything. When Baba had the tree and Trimurti and cycle printed it came in a golden casket to London. They were sent by airmail post: one for the Queen, one for the Pope and Rajnibhen did her best to fulfil Baba’s wish. But Baba was aware of the world and always concerned about helping all his children everywhere. So that sense of belonging started right from the beginning and continued. Baba didn’t have to make any effort for that. I am seeing those sanskars, for example, the sanskars of total altruism: Rajnibhen once sent Brahma Baba a pure white cardigan, because in those days in India they did not have the pure white wool. Baba touched it, but he never wore it, he gave it away. And in the early days in Pandav Bhavan, there was just one building, which was stables. And so you can imagine that the walls of a stable are so thin. But Baba stayed in that room right until the very end and the children would say to Baba – Baba please come, new buildings are being built. But he would not come; he said that those buildings were built for the children. The sanskar lasted for the whole cycle. We used to say something similar to Dadi, about her sanskar of serving, as she used to serve based on the scriptures from when she was 8 years old, She used to go into people’s homes when they were sick. So once we said to her that “those sanskars of generosity, of care, of love, of concern have always been with you, so they were your sanskars” and Dadi said no, they were the sanskars that Baba gave me last Kalpa, and they stayed with me until my last birth. So Baba had many deep sanskars in which everyone belongs, but also there was concern for others; Baba was always putting others ahead. And one other very specific sanskar and even today that sanskar is there in a handful, and that was putting sisters in front. [Before Baba became Brahma, when he was still Dada Lekhraj, he was a devotee of Narayan. But he did not like the image of Lakshmi massaging Narayan’s feet]. At that moment he didn’t know that he would become Narayan, that Narayan wouldn’t be actually getting tired in satyug, but at that moment, his heart went out to Lakshmi and so cutting the picture [of Lakshmi massaging Narayan’s feet] so that Lakshmi was liberated. Another question that came: has there ever been anyone in history who has put women in front?
It has been 54 years since Brahma Baba became avyakt, and he has been so patient with us. But the month of January has been a time in which we have been seeing another aspect demonstrated and that is there is one soul within the whole cycle who actually becomes absolutely equal to the Father. And so Brahma Baba leaving the cycle of birth and death and stepping out of the cycle and still being engaged in good karma - but that is not for the self because Baba achieved his karmateet stage in the physical form. And Brahma Baba is continuing to do good karma not for his personal account of credit but truly akarma….and so God does so much and yet still, akarta and abhogta the One who receives no return for whatever He has done – He doesn’t need any return; He is always the Bestower, always giving. And so Brahma Baba, the same -for 54 years continuous - an angel doesn’t need to sleep, an angel doesn’t need time for the self and so 24/7, 54 years that is a lot of good karma and serving the world. And so this is why even as Dada Lekhraj, his personality was absolutely unique and incredible. You’ve read Adi Dev so I won’t go into the details, but Baba (Dada Lekhraj) would walk into a room and a thousand people would turn their heads to see ‘who has come’, because the magnetism of Baba’s personality was so amazing up to the last birth. So imagine the soul of Narayan and why Brahma Baba became number one and how, yes, there was renunciation; there was huge tolerance of all the things he had to endure after he became Baba’s chariot - not before - before his life was very comfortable.
Baba would wake up at 2-2:30 in the morning and He would be remembering (Shiv) Baba and so yes that effort was made. Whatever were the things going on inside, they were never ever visible. If you see a swan, it is gliding across the water, but underneath, its little legs are flapping very fast. So nothing was visible, not even the hard work that was required, but simply silence.
So we are very fortunate; not only do we know Shiv Baba, but we know the whole story of Brahma Baba.
Om Shanti

Sudesh Didi – 15th January 2023 Sunday Morning Sharing - GCH, London: Inspirations in the Avyakt Month
17 January 2023
Om Shanti. Avyakt month, angelic month, 18th January; the whole month reminds us, and makes us aware of the moment, the day for which Baba himself had this aim: the realisation of, “You are Vishnu,” "Aham Charturbhuj Tatatvam," (I am the four-armed figure, the same applies to you.)
But who said this? When Baba realised the truth, the aim became very clear. He put his total focus on being perfect, on reaching this destination. Until the end, he would say, “I'm going to become this. I'm going to become this.”
So, as a student, he achieved that status before the Golden Age comes; the qualities, virtues, powers and intoxication that Baba had. In the History Hall, there is one translight picture of Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayan. On the top is the Trimurti, then it is Shri Lakshmi and Shri Narayan, and then Radhe and Krishna.
From time to time, Baba would point out that picture and say, “I am going to become this baby.” It was as if he was invoking his future. Baba invoked his perfect form, with the same faith, determination and intoxication in a practical way. When Gulzar Dadi was eight years old, she brought the trance message that there was a perfect Brahma that existed in the subtle region. With full faith and trust, through the foundation of a pure clean mind and an honest heart, he did not question but explored deeper into the aspect of perfection. He would send Gulzar Dadi up to enquire more: Where did you go? What did you see? Who is this avyakt Brahma? Knowledge came from Incorporeal One, through the innocent children. Brahma Baba’s innocence from a pure heart enabled him to believe it and practised it. God is also praised as the Lord of Innocence. But it is Brahma Baba’s innocent heart with Shiv Baba’s character together. This is why Shiv Baba took Brahma Baba’s costume.
This was how Baba started invoking his subtle form. He was emerging his perfect personality of the Golden Age. As he lived that life in the previous cycle, the sanskars were within him. Now, at the end of his last birth, he invoked that. There is a link between the last birth and the first birth, Sangamyug and Satyug. Brahma Baba invoked that perfect stage in this subtle region. And Baba would sit and say, “I'm invoking my angelic form.” And then, practically, in his corporeal form, he became the embodiment of this light.
When the Training Centre was being built, Baba held my hand and showed me the Training Centre. After that, he wanted to show me where Vishaal Bhawan would be built. The parties would be able to stay there. As we were climbing up the hill, those who have been to Madhuban would have seen that there are a few steps to go from Vishaal Bhawan to the dining room, from Baba’s courtyard and the Tower of Peace. It was the courtyard at the time. Baba held my hand, and his hand felt very light; it did not feel like a physical hand, as I did not feel the flesh or the weight. It was as if his hand was transparent like cotton wool and light was coming through. It was not just the hand, looking at Baba, it was the body of light, that aura was so powerful and I was struck. Baba said, “Bachche Chalo (Child, let's go).” And so, that was the angelic form that I experienced. I thought Baba has come from the subtle region into the corporeal world. That was my last experience.
The next day, when he showed me where teachers' training would take place, and asked me to give them training, it created enthusiasm in me. The main thought was what the training would be like. There was a builder by Vishaal Bhawan, mixing cement and sand, and Baba related that character-building was like building construction. The builder knows how much cement he needs in the mixture. Too much sand, and there will be cracks in the wall.
Then, the next day in Baba’s room, Baba had a telegram in his hand. He said, “Child, you have to go to Delhi. I was in Madhuban for two days, and Baba said he had to fulfil this promise. What was the promise? From Delhi, I came to Jaipur, and Baba had sent a telegram, “Child, today, go to Jaipur, a museum is being built.” So, I went there, and the service was wonderful. It was very good quality service, and good training for me. It was not just going to the temple or to satsang, it was a very different quality service. So, the people in Delhi wanted me to go back. Raj Kumar bhai came and said to Baba, “Baba, now we want Sudesh back in Delhi.” Baba said, “In Delhi, she was riding a horse, and now she is riding an elephant. I would not bring her down from riding an elephant to riding a horse. Create a lion.” This is Baba’s language. What it means is that Delhi was more service of jumping from here to there. It was mainly the service of exhibitions and festivals like Shivratri, that kind of service.
Baba said that they would be opening a museum, and the Prime Minister, some sanyasis and gurus were invited to the opening. So, Baba said, “Child, they have to serve the gurus as well. So, you have to go. Baba has to fulfil his promise.” So, I just went the next day, and I related my experience in Delhi that the trance messenger went to the subtle region, but now, from the subtle region, Baba had come.
My last experience with Brahma Baba was 20th November 1968. I had come from Jaipur, and the train was late. Baba had started the Murli already, so when I arrived, I went in from the second door of History Hall. I sat behind, and Baba continued the Murli for a few more minutes. Then, with great love, he said, “My Maharathi child has come. My spiritual rose has come.” With so many blessings, He called me to the front. I went to the front and sat next to Didi Manmohini. Didi used to always sit in front and when I came, I usually sat in the front near the front door before Baba came into class. So, I went to sit at the front, and Baba said, “No, come and sit at Mama's seat,” then at that time Baba said, “This child will go abroad and give the message to many. Now create heir children.” At that time, I did not know anything about going abroad, but he knew my fortune, he knew my future. It was in his mind. And so, I received the blessing from that time from Baba. Many many other blessings along with that, but this is his farsightedness. He could see my future, and in a very beautiful way, he put a stamp on my future and announced it to the class.
On 18th January, we got the news that Baba had become avyakt. So, not only was Baba in the subtle region, but he brought this energy of the subtle region to this corporeal physical form. So that you feel that vibrations, you feel that light, you get the feeling of the avyakt stage, the karmateet stage. And dheere bolo (speak softly), kam bolo (speak less), meetha bolo (speak sweetly), whatever Baba teaches, he demonstrated it in his life. Om shanti.

Love for Solitude - January 10
Sudesh Didi - 2nd January 2023 Hindu Murli Explanation, interviewed by Sister Sukanti – Harmony House, Leicester
10 January 2023
Question: For 2023, how can we attain more in less time?
Sudesh Didi: First of all, I’d like to give congratulations for a new life, new year and new age. In this unlimited drama, there is a new scene and a new day every day. We get new teachings and power when we forge a relationship with the Supreme Soul. The month of January is special. We call this month ‘the month of awareness’. Awareness of what? The Supreme Soul has reminded us of himself and made us into embodiments of awareness. We had forgotten ourselves, the Supreme Soul, our task, and our home and we had become depleted of the virtues; we had become powerless.
The new year means the end of the old and the beginning of the new and January means to fill the self with newness. It is time for transformation. In the month of January, the Supreme Soul gives us many inspirations and many blessings. This is the time to take the inheritance and Godly powers. We receive God’s virtues in the form of an inheritance, and this is not only our fortune, but our chance. In order to attain all of this, we need to go into the cave of introversion and ask ourselves: What transformation do I need to bring about?
- What do I need to transform?
- What do I need to do to make it firm?
- What do I need to invoke?
The month of January is also called the month of angels, the avyakt month, the month to become perfect and the month to fill ourselves with the sanskars of the beginning of the golden age.
What effort do I need to make?
To let go of the old because the old is going anyway, including the old thoughts, old interactions, old sanskars and old understandings. It is time to finish waste sanskars and become powerful because our sanskars will bring about the new world. We have to now understand the method to do all of this. When something is powerful in our thoughts and attitude, then in action we are successful. In our awareness, we keep our divine form, and in our attitude, we must have the determined thought to see each other as brothers. Although these two physical eyes are open, it is essential that we use our third eye. When did Brahma Baba make his life elevated? When Shiv Baba created Trimurti in the subtle region. Shiv baba manifested the three angels Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar.
What is the definition of an angel?
Angels don’t have a body of flesh and bones but a body of light. An angel means to be beyond the relationships of the body and to have a relationship with the divine virtues, the Supreme Soul, and our future status. Brahma Baba received the message that beyond this physical world there is a subtle world where the perfect (avyakt) Brahma resides; he did not know this before. Gulzar Dadi was 8 years old when she saw this vision in trance and informed Brahma Baba. Henceforth, Brahma Baba began to invoke the perfect (avyakt) Brahma.
How did Brahma baba invoke the avyakt angel?
That avyakt angel is free from burden and bondages. If a bird is in a cage, it cannot fly; a bird does not carry a burden and fly. In the same way, the soul is like a bird in the form of an angel. An angel means to have lightness and to be double light while in the body; I, the soul am light, and in my nature and sanskars there is lightness. Lightness means easy nature.
Check that there is:
- No burden on the mind
- No bondages of the intellect
- No old influences of the sanskars
Pay attention that soul consciousness becomes natural.
Keep the intellect (the eye of the soul) clean
The first step is to pay attention to my mind, intellect, and sanskars. Only pure thoughts with the stability and cleanliness of the intellect should emerge. The intellect does the work of ‘seeing’; It is the eye of the soul. If even a speck of dirt enters the eye, it causes irritation. In the same way, if a speck of someone’s defect is on the eye of the soul, it will cause pain. That speck cannot stay in the eye; even a trace of someone’s defect should not remain within us - not even a thought. Keep the eye of intellect clean. If the eye of the intellect is clean, then it will be drawn to that which is clean. To become complete means to have an attitude and dhristi (vision) of picking up virtues. With your divine vision invoke your deity form. This is not a new effort. It is the same effort, but now we’re doing it with determination and continuity.
The speed of knowledge and yoga should be equal
We have to experiment with the knowledge that we have received from Baba along with yoga. Experiment means to use; for example, even though you have a new soap powder, you need to know the method of how to use it. If you put it directly on the cloth, nothing will happen. You need water to bring about cleanliness. Knowledge is the water, cleanliness is our aim, and purity is the method. Purity comes through yoga; yoga means to use the knowledge that I’ve received so, that I can change my sanskars.
- Cleanliness happens through knowledge
- Purification happens through yoga
- Sparkle comes through elevated action
The method to using knowledge, virtues, and powers
We need to know the method of how to use the knowledge, virtues, and powers which Baba has given us in distressful situations or even to keep ourselves free from the influence of other people’s sanskars. One is to experiment with yoga, but it’s not just about experimenting because we’ve experimented a lot. An experiment is done once or twice, but then you have to start using it. Whilst using something, it becomes useful. Pay attention to using Godly powers. Use knowledge in interactions and make sure your thoughts are determined because we’ve made a promise that we have closed the door to waste.
Waste makes us:
- Weak
- Sick
- Heavy
- Burdensome and it ties us into bondage
Our aim is to become an angel.
What should I join the relationship of my mind with? How does the mind get connected to negativity?
By having thoughts about it. Therefore, again and again check your thoughts. Be a detached observer and see if the yoga of the intellect is stable. Go into the depth of one and hold on to the hand of one. Now is the time to awaken your fortune by following shrimat.
Amrit vela: to miss means to make mistakes and to become misfortunate
Fill yourselves with blessings during amrit vela. There are yoga programmes everywhere, and the influence of the atmosphere is strong. It is as if everywhere there is a lighthouse; it is as if the Sun of Knowledge is everywhere. We are absorbing the warmth of the Sun of Knowledge. When we absorb the warmth, that is, the power of the Sun of Knowledge, then we will not feel lazy. Awaken in the morning and celebrate a meeting with Baba. To miss means we will make mistakes and when we make mistakes, we become misfortunate. So, don’t make mistakes and don’t miss this opportunity. It is the season to be showered with Baba’s blessings and to take the sweetness of all relationships with Baba.
An angel means to be free from karmic burdens and bondages
While listening to the murli, pay such attention that it should be as though baba is talking to me personally. Give attention to checking and changing. Become free from karmic accounts and untie yourselves by using Godly relationships. If we are making efforts under the influence of waste or ego, then it creates karmic bondages. However, if we make efforts under the influence of mercy, on ourselves and others, we are creating a relationship, not a bondage.
Am I becoming an angel? Am I becoming free?
I am not an ordinary person; I am a Shiv Shakti; I am the embodiment of power. Even whilst being a human being, Baba is making me into a deity soul, so I have to make my aim and qualification equal. As is my aim, so my qualities need to be the same. In this, I need determination. If there is determination, I will definitely be successful because it is the season, and during the season you just have to do a little bit for a greater return. When the land is fertile, you just have to make a little bit of effort and you will receive a lot of fruit. Our attitude and dhristi (vision) is the fertile land, and in that fertile land we have to sow seeds of elevated thoughts. Therefore, keep the attitude and dhrishti elevated. Do not create bondages with your thoughts and interactions because we are becoming angels. We are living with people, but the influence of the iron age should not be among us. We are detached observers, and when we are interacting and speaking with each other, our stage is stable. Avyakt Baba has shown us with his practical example that even if there is a distraction or disturbance, Baba is completely detached. Check: Am I seated as a detached observer, and have I made baba my companion? Am I eating with baba? Am I seated with baba? Am I listening to baba? Whilst doing everything is baba my company and companion?’ Automatically, the colour of Baba’s company is making the soul change from a human being into a deity. Pay attention to the teachings we’ve received from Baba. At night, look at the whole account of the day. Do not sleep with any burden or bondage; I am a point of light and I am sleeping in the lap of light and when you awaken; I am angel of peace today, I am an angel of purity.
What does it mean to be bodiless?
I am in the body, but I am bodiless. King Janak is also called bodiless. Whilst living in a palace, being in a position and having a kingdom, you do not have ego of these things. It means to be in this body but to be a trustee; to live at home but to not be a householder. Baba has sent me wherever I am to do service. Pay attention to not take sorrow from any soul and to not open the door to any sorrow; a sensitive nature opens the door of sorrow.
In conversation, we say, “I am not body conscious, but ‘they’ shouldn’t have said what they said.” When I use the word ‘they’ I am looking at the body. Check: when a situation arises, what is my stage during that situation? Is it like Anghad (character in bhakti)? Do I keep Baba with me at all times? I have to make my stage stable and unshakeable. The result of becoming strong is that I become lighter; heaviness is finishing. We become free from bondages, and we are becoming angels. We’re making our sanskars divine and becoming deities. Practice the avyakt murli for the week and make a special programme for yoga; the more we attend, the more we benefit. You can also do it at home, but when you do it in the gathering, it is more powerful. You come out of the atmosphere of your home, and you receive cooperation and blessings.
Question: Yesterday, Baba spoke about ego. How can we finish ego?
Sudesh Didi: Firstly, we need to think: what is ego, what do we get out of it, and what is the damage of ego? We want to finish that which causes damage; we want to finish that which others are rejecting. What is it that we want to finish? We don’t want to finish anything that is good, do we?
Ego
- Makes the mind dirty
- Closes the eye of the intellect
- Creates a sanskar of sorrow
Ego kills the mind, intellect, and self-respect. If I insult somebody else, then I lose my own honour. Ego does not allow us to remain in self-respect and causes us to insult others. Ego creates fear; an egoistic person is afraid of being defamed. They want respect and praise; hence, ego makes us into beggars. Ego wants to control others, but they themselves are dependent; their egoistic sanskars control them. An egoistic person gives sorrow to others, and in turn, experiences sorrow. They can never take blessings from anyone as people cannot love those who have ego. When someone is egoistic, people do not like coming too close to them; there is fear that this person will insult me. They will flatter or praise, but don’t really love. Ego is the most subtle of the vices but brings about maximum impurity. When there’s ego, you become arrogant; ego says, “I did this; I can do this.” Ego compares and does not accept. Baba has said that humility is our greatness. An egoistic person is selfish and can never be a bestower. They are always scolding others. Ego wants to make others into servants, but they can never rule anyone’s heart.
Question: What is the difference between humility (nirman) and to create (nirmaan)?
Sudesh Didi: Humility means I am not hungry for respect. I don’t have the ego that people should listen to me. Humility says whether I receive respect or not, I am detached. Humility means to have patience; impatience is when there is the thought that others should listen to what I am saying. A humble person does not have ego of his own specialities. A humble person does not accept praise because there is the awareness that I did not do anything by myself; it is the blessing of karankaravanhar, and I received everyone’s cooperation.
Humility creates love and good wishes in the hearts of others
Humility is the seed of success, that is why that person is able to be constructive (create). What do they create? They create love and good wishes in the hearts of others. Everyone has respect for a humble soul and wants to be close to them. Why? Because a humble soul is a server. There is no show; they are incognito.
Somebody who has ego desires and seeks praise and recognition by others. They feel that others should know what I have done; it should even be printed in the newspapers. An egoistic person wants to be introduced with acknowledgement of what they have done otherwise they will feel that their introduction was incomplete. Someone with ego is always discontent.
Whereas someone who is humble does not even accept praise, and this is why a humble soul is called a Maharati. An egoistic person is called selfish; they only want benefit for themselves and not others. A humble soul does the task of construction and is always thinking of benefitting and serving others. Baba gives the example of a tree that is full of fruit. A humble soul is full of virtues and powers but will also have the thought, “this is not mine”. A tree does not eat its own fruit. A tree is like the Ganges. It’s cool, always flowing, and does not get stuck anywhere; even if a mountain is in front of a river, the river will create its own path and go around it. A river does not drink its own water; it does not serve itself. The river does not accept praise and continues with its work. A tree, when full of fruit, bows down even more, making it easier for others to access the fruit. The tree is not worried if someone throws away the fruit. However, an egoistic person will feel insulted “I gave something so good, and they did not value it and they rejected it.” This is the difference between ego and humility. An egoistic person cannot create a place in the hearts of others and is not praised from the heart. A humble person, on the other hand, conquers the heart of others and is praised from the heart.
Question: Baba says in the murli that even if someone listens to a little bit of knowledge they will come into Golden Age. So, if they don’t practice dharna, will they still come to the Golden Age?
Sudesh Didi: When Baba talks about listening to knowledge, it doesn’t mean just listening with the ears. To listen to knowledge means to apply knowledge. If they listen but don’t apply, it means they didn’t really listen. They listened but disregarded it. So, the one who disregards does not come into the Golden age.
The meaning of listening to knowledge is:
- To listen
- To understand
- To apply
Those who listen and apply have sown the seed to go into the Golden Age
For example, when you give someone a task to do and they complete it, you can understand that they listened to you; if they don’t do the task, you will say they didn’t even listen; they just ignored me. So, those who just ignore will not come into the Golden age. Those who listen and do, come onto the list of those who come into the Golden age.
In the murli, Baba says Brahma Baba listens first. I said to Brahma Baba “You listen at the very same time that we are listening, so why does Shiv baba favour you and say you listen first?” When we would churn the murli, Brahma Baba would ask, “What did Baba say in today’s murli?” We would share what baba had said, and Brahma Baba would say, I will also ask tomorrow, “What did Baba say?”
So, why does brahma baba listen first? When Shiv baba said something, Brahma Baba paid attention, and applied it. Baba said in the murli, “Eat with me, talk to me, walk with me” and so Brahma Baba did that. He said, “Throughout the day I walked with Shiv baba, I talked to Shiv Baba, and I bathed with Shiv baba - Child, did you do all of that or did your intellect go elsewhere?” Thus, to listen means to do.
So, those who listen and do have sown the seed to go into the Golden Age. Their elevated action becomes the seed, and they will receive the fruit of that in Golden Age. If not Golden age, they will come in the Silver Age. They will receive a little. Why? Because ultimately, God is merciful and generous. We do a little but receive more. This is why Baba says that even if you listen to a little bit you will come into heaven, so children don’t lose hope or courage. Actually, many people listen to knowledge on the television, radio, and YouTube because nowadays every household has these facilities. Many listen to Baba’s knowledge and praise it, but to change your sanskars is what it means to really listen. We take with us the sanskars of knowledge; those who listen and do, create sanskars of happiness, purity, and peace. This is what it means to listen, otherwise, it becomes that listening is equivalent to not listening.
Question: Souls in the Golden Age are Brahmin souls. Are there any other souls who come into the Golden Age?
Sudesh Didi: You can only become a deity if you are a Brahmin first.
Question: Who created the drama?
Sudesh Didi: We created the drama - me and you together created the drama.
What does this word “drama” mean? If you read a book that somebody has written, you would not say, “I saw the story.” You would say, “I read the story” but if they make a film out of the “story”, it comes into action and then it is called a drama. The “story” in the book was not called the drama. So, Baba tells us the “story”, but we are the ones who put it into action, and then it becomes a drama. When it’s in karma, then it becomes a drama.
Question: Baba is telling us the drama but who wrote the drama?
Sudesh Didi: We are the ones who write the story. We write our own fortune. We are the ones who write and act. Baba tells us the “story” that this is what you did. Whatever we did is written, but it’s not written in a book. Instead, it is merged within the soul. For example, a seed contains the potential of a whole tree, but where is it contained? If you cut open that seed, you will not see the tree. Can you see the tree inside the seed? No, but the seed has the potential. That potential in the seed is according to the law of nature and according to the time. Drama is governed by spiritual laws and the law of nature.
Within this unlimited drama, there are three things that come together and create the drama:
- Soul
- Supreme Soul (God)
- Stage
Nature means the 5 elements. The soul is the actor. When the soul is in the soul world, there is no drama. At that time, it’s as if the seed is dormant in a container. If you have seeds in a container, will they grow? Will you get any results out of a seed in a container even if it is in season? Even if the season passes, they will not grow. It is only when a seed is planted in the earth in the right season and receives water and the light of the sun that it will grow.
Why do I say we created the drama? Because the sanskars are within the soul, and when we act, that becomes the drama. How do the sanskars get there? We perform an action; actions create sanskars and because of these sanskars we perform an action. What kind of actions have we performed? We have performed actions according to our desires. Internally, we have the desire for peace, love, purity, bliss, and happiness. These are the divine sanskars of the soul. The soul has the potential for all of these things, and we bring that potential into action; that’s why it’s said that we created the drama. If we don’t bring that potential into action, then it’s as if we are not an actor but just the public (audience) at that time. An actor is one who comes on to the stage. We create the stage of being the embodiment of knowledge, peace, love, purity, and power. So, those who create this stage are the actors of the beginning of the drama. For example, the beginning stage of the tree is the trunk, and the trunk is strong; the roots are deep and powerful. The first stage of a soul is powerful. Powerful means that the powers of the soul are in a concentrated form and stable and then gradually, according to the influence of nature and time, the form of those powers change.
Why does the drama repeat? Repetition is the law of nature.
We are within this play, and within this play there is morning, day, and night but it is the same sun that rises and sets each day. We say it is a new day, but it is the same sun. So, why are we calling it a new day? Just as we see the same names of the day every week (e.g., Saturday, Sunday, Monday) and the same names of the ages (e.g., Golden Age, Silver Age) similarly, we see the same actors and their sanskars. The soul has the sanskars of giving and taking happiness. If someone does not have the sanskars of giving and taking happiness, they will not even have the desire to come down during the time of happiness because they will not have the sanksars. This is a play. The drama is being created, but who is creating it? We are creating it and we are creating our own fortune. If we perform the action, it is a drama. If we do not perform actions, it is not a drama.

Sudesh Didi – 8th January 2023 Sunday Morning Class - GCH, London: The Wonder of Three Powers
9 January 2023
Om shanti. Om shanti. Om shanti. What is the message in this figure 3? 1-2-3 Om Shanti, one time, second time, third time; one, two, three, tell us now become free, ready, ever-ready. What are we to be free from in the final stage? To be free from fear, worry, ignorance and darkness, because, in darkness, we cannot see what is right, what is wrong, and what is missing.
Knowledge is light. God is light, and His praises are in three words: Satyam, Shivam Sundaram (the Truth, the Benevolent and the Beautiful One). Where there is falsehood, there is fear. Fear creates tension and worries inside. There is the fear of weakness, the fear of failure and the fear of death. Truth removes fear.
When we understand the truth about life, there is no fear. God’s praise is Satyam, Shivam Sundaram. Truth is beautiful, and beauty always attracts and gives the right encouragement when the soul recognises something benevolent and beautiful. And the same aspect of truth, Sat Chit Anand (Truth, Conscient, Blissful). God is Truth, the Living Truth, the eternal Truth, who brings bliss in life as there is no fear at all.
In fact, the soul itself is truth. When there is purity, peace and power, there is no fear in the mind. When these three aspects, which are the three powers of the soul, are understood, recognised, practised, and experienced, one sustains a stable and peaceful mind.
The power of truth removes all tension, fear, and worries. Truth enables a peaceful, pure, powerful, determined mind; a divine intellect that is clean, clear, and farsighted, such one is able to see the future and to observe and learn from the past. Then, to be careful and attentive to what I am doing at the present time. The soul is truly in harmony.
These three components are the eternal power of the soul. The soul is an eternal being, an immortal being, there is no fear of death because the soul never dies. The soul changes costume and moves on. And even if someone has left the body, we pray for the soul to have peace. But in fact, we need to understand the truth of the soul; to give the donation of peace, we need to have the power of peace in ourselves.
If my container is empty, how can I fill another empty vessel? This is why we maintain this awareness, that the natural nature of the soul is purity and peace; it is eternal energy, a powerful energy, which has the sanskar of benevolence. And when the intellect is clean, clear and divine, a divine personality is automatically formed, and the soul naturally performs elevated actions, benevolent actions and perfect actions without the mind being distracted by something else. The intellect is able to put the mind in the right direction.
When action is performed with the dictate of somebody else, we then have to say, “Sorry, I didn't want to do that at all. It just happened.” What happened? Was the action influenced by fear of something? Have I not understood something properly? Did I make the decision under the Influence of effect, or some kind of impression from others, or did the past overpowers me?
Soul consciousness, when the soul is really in the harmony of three together, pure mind, clean divine intellect, and elevated sanskar of benevolence, the inner light constantly remains lit. And the soul is seated on this immortal throne of a detached observer.
Today, Baba is speaking about the wonder of these three powers. Because God himself is also known through the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar – establishment, sustenance, transformation), the trinity in unity, three aspects, three important tasks connected with world creation, transformation and sustenance. It is the power of wisdom, truth and of knowledge. God gives this knowledge to Brahma; when this light is lit, darkness is dispelled; waste is transformed into best. A knowledgeable soul has clear consciousness, selflessness, and benevolence. Then, anything which has gone wrong, can be put right, because there is no possessiveness, selfish motive, expectations, or desires within. You are a detached observer. Without fear, one experiences certainty, security and clarity. It is going to be all right, because that intellect has faith.
The soul has truth in itself, and is free from fear, worry and any waste. The best is going to happen because your connection is with the One who is ever-Bestower of happiness and the Benevolent Being.
The soul is very clear about the right actions they need to perform, connecting with the soul’s qualities and powers. Then, I experience this deep relationship and realisation of being a child of God, the Almighty. My personality, as the child of God, is definitely of benevolence power. Fear comes from ignorance; the fear of doing something wrong, as I have been wronged in the past because of ignorance.
With the light of knowledge, we learn from the past, we make the present clear, and it is correct for the future. The soul is then able to be seated on these three thrones at the same time: The throne of soul consciousness, the eternal being, the immortal being, the sparkling power energy filled with all these powers of purity, peace, love, knowledge, wisdom, truth and benevolence. What type of fear can we have? These qualities are immortal, as these are the qualities of the eternal immortal soul, but I have to be conscious and stay seated on this throne.
What enables me to remain seated on the immortal throne? It is the practice of these three lessons (incorporeal, viceless, egoless) that Sakar Brahma Baba gifted us on his last day, through his practical life, of being incorporeal, being bodiless.
It is body consciousness, in different ways, that creates fear in us: Fear of being defamed, fear of losing position, fear of losing personal property, and fear of losing dignity. But when I am a bodiless soul, all fear disappears, because I am immortal.
When one has left the body, they will not be aware of praise, defamation, or if their statues are worshipped. Bodilessness means detachment. There is the power of bodilessness, that when one leaves the body, one has cleaned everyone’s mind, such that after the departure of the soul, only good things are remembered about them. Whatever wrong had happened, others forget. And their hearts become kind, clean, clear, merciful, benevolent, and filled with good wishes.
These qualities of purity, love and benevolence become real only when there is the practice of I, the soul, am incorporeal, bodiless, an eternal light. And, of course, the soul has knowledge, so I am not wondering just like a tiny little star in the sky. I am here on this planet. It is not a star shining in the sky, but it is shining here (centre of the forehead), with the shine of all these qualities that make God has made us aware of as my personal property. This is my personal eternal gift from eternity and from God. This means I am becoming virtuous practically, not just in a picture or on the screen, but these qualities are a reality in my personality.
When the light is ignited, darkness is dispelled. When fragrances spread, bad odour is removed. In the same way, as we become virtuous, the power of virtues conquers the vices. We do not become viceless just on its own, darkness does not go by itself. We can continue to beat it 1000 times with a stick or a stone, it will not go away. But if you switch on the light, darkness is gone. So, embodiment implies whilst living in the body. And when we imbibe all these qualities, and become the embodiment of virtues through our actions, through my connections, through my relationships, the qualities are expressed naturally and with honesty.
There is a very important aspect we need to check with honesty, that is, I do not perform an action because I want to impress someone: I am being very sweet and very friendly, I cooperate just to impress you, hoping that creating a good impression will earn you some praise. This is a falsehood; falsehood will create fear anytime, but truth is eternal; truth automatically brings power.
When there are all virtues with honesty, there will be the deep realisation that these qualities are eternal; I am a child of the Supreme Being, and these are my gifts which I am going to give to others. This is called divinity. Sri Lakshmi ji receiving this power and handing it over and giving it to others; this is balanced energy. There is no fear; no weapons in the hand of Lakshmi. It is natural and neutral to receive and give others as a benevolent and egoless trustee who is detached. There are virtues, and powers are working. Benevolence means egolessness; instead of “I did this,” the awareness is that “Karankaravanhar (The One who gets things done through others) did this.” Baba gave us powers that become virtues; we become the embodiment of virtues.
Be egoless, bodiless and viceless. How? By becoming virtuous and powerful. These virtues mean divine virtues. Divine virtues are neutral; divine virtues do not have any discrimination. With divine virtues, you do not get upset if you are not praised because something that is natural and divine is so neutral. You praise them, there is no ego; you defame them, and they do not get upset.
We learn from nature because natural energy is neutral; beyond praise and defamation. Take the example from nature: The sun is shining on a beautiful nice morning. By the afternoon it is very hot, and I pull the blind, close the window, and draw the curtain. The sun does not get upset, “You were so happy to see me, and now you are covering me. You are shutting me out.” No. Similarly, flowers are beautiful and fragrant, and I say, “I have allergies, please take them away.” The flowers do not get upset. They do not have any discrimination. If they are at home, they are blossoming; if visitors come, they give the same fragrance; if they are put somewhere in a dingy place, still, they will give the same fragrance. If foreigners come, if relatives come, the flowers have no difference between cast, colour or age. They give everyone the same fragrance with no discrimination.
So, divine means that you are not expecting any praise. It is natural to give selflessly and benevolently. That is why they are called devta, sun devta and moon devta. Even the sense organs become so divine, that the sense organs are worshipped, because it is through this body, the virtues are expressed. Peace is not given just by the atmosphere of the silence; peace is connected with the mind. Good cooperation is given with the hands and the heart. Deities are worshipped, even the organs are worshipped: their feet are worshipped; their heads are worshipped; their eyes are worshipped. They are called Naina Devi (related to the eyes), Hasta Devta (related to the hand) because as the soul is purified, matter will also be purified, so, the body also becomes pure and divine. They become combined energy.
In the same way, as the soul has harmony between the mind, the intellect and the sanskars, and is doing actions with honesty, it is loved by all. There is no need to ask for love, as love is received automatically. The soul is loved by God. You are seated on the Heart-throne of God.
In December, we were reading out the avyakt signals daily, on “The Lord is pleased with an honest heart”; we have climbed into God’s Heart. God's Heart-throne is unlimited and big. You attain God’s Throne, where Maya cannot climb to enter; where sorrow cannot come; where fear cannot exist. So, you are safe in the Heart-throne.
What is God’s Heart-throne? The power of God's love. That love actually makes you feel: God is my Protector and my Companion. And you feel the combined energy, that is, Godly power and your powers are combined. And this becomes the canopy of protection. Seated on the Heart-throne, you are safe; this is a beautiful experience. And by imbibing these qualities, we become self-sovereign.
To be seated Heart-throne is not only just thoughts, but it is about performing actions through the senses. The result is the reward of elevated actions: You become a divine being on this planet; that is, Sri Lakshmi and Sri Narayan, gods and goddesses in human form. That is called world-sovereignty, Sri Lakshmi and Sri Narayan, or divine beings of perfection. The sovereign of the world, Lakshmi means the embodiment of virtues, and Narayan means the embodiment of spirituality in reality, Sat Narayan, that is, truth becomes a reality. With truth, there is love, lightness, selflessness, and benevolence in action; these make them into true Narayan and true Lakshmi.
At this time, when we have truth in ourselves, we know that God is our Companion, what fear and worry will there be? Today, Baba said, on the one hand, become carefree, be free from worry, on the other hand, be alert, and not become careless and ignorant in this respect. The balance is on one side is carefree, and on the other side is be very careful. No worry, but whilst in action, give your responsibility to God. Trust in yourself, have faith in yourself, and have faith in God. Faith brings power; everything is going to be right. You will become the knower of the three aspects of time. I began my sharing with this figure of three; this makes us trikaldarshi (knower of the three aspects of time): learn from the past, be active and careful in the present, and think, I am creating my future. So, what would be the result if I do something wrong? I know if I do good, I am free from worry. It is going to bring a good reward. Knowing the three aspects of time makes us understand that in my origin stage in the world of silence, I was a powerful soul, so that I will emerge again. At the beginning of the Golden Age, it was a perfect stage. So, I have to bring out the perfection of the Golden Age in me here. I have learned from the past, the present is good actions, and creating my future. So, I have no worries.
Constantly be the knower of the three aspects: faith in myself, faith in God, and faith in time. It is the time now, that makes us aware of performing elevated actions. So, Baba is making us seated on three thrones: throne on our forehead, with honesty, climb onto God's Heart-throne, and with selfless actions, become the master of the world. You win everyone's heart, not only the Heart-throne of God, but the heart-throne of others, and you become first. You win the hearts of others, and then you win the world. The whole sovereignty comes to you, but make sure that the third eye always remains open, apart from these two eyes. Trinetri (one with the third eye), the third eye is open. This is the divine eye which God opens with knowledge, and it is remembered as the third eye. Shankar destroys the old world by opening his third eye. So, the old world is destroyed when I open my third eye, and I am able to see. This is the blessing from God, that the third eye, the insight, is farsighted, or the divine intellect.
The third eye is the divine intellect, a farsighted intellect, the wisdom given by God that gives us the third eye. The ‘blind’ begins to see with the third eye. Without knowledge, we stumble in the dark like a blind person. And now, the light has come, the third eye is open, I can see, I understand, and I perform good actions.
Elevated actions, perfect actions, mean perfection; free from the defects of my own self, my own weaknesses, and also being free from the influence of weaknesses and defects of others. This is called power; the power of wisdom, the power of truth, the power of knowledge, that is, the light.
Om shanti.
