Baba says, “There is bondage in relationships with bodies, therefore there is sorrow. You have now entered a relationship with the Father to become free from that bondage.”
God comes at this most auspicious confluence age when the world is hell. He clarifies that this is not the world that He created. All the relationships that exist now were not created. “Look at what your relationships in this world have now become!“, He says. Because of your actions, you have become tamopradhan. Because of karmic bondage, you continue to tear one another apart. In this karmic activity, all relationships have become degraded and so people continue to cause and take sorrow from one another. God says: I did not create your relationships of sorrow. The relationship (sambandh) that I had forged for you was not of bondage (bandhan). I forged an elevated relationship with you and in that relationship you were ever happy. All your relationships were very clean and this is why it is remembered: “Rama, the king and Rama praja (all those who belong to Rama).”
Rama was wealthy and the whole kingdom lived under his reign, the reign of the bestower, it was a reign of righteousness. That was known as the grihast ashram (household of righteousness). Dharam-pati, dharam-patni (husband and wife)- everything was in the name of righteousness, but that relationship of religion does not now exist anymore. That practical life is now no more. This is why the Father says: The world that you have made your own, all the relationships in that world are now spoilt. The relationships that I created were without the bondages of karma. This is why they were said to be liberated-in-life. Now, your relationships have become those of a bondage in life and this is why everyone asks: How can we become free from these?
The Father says: “Break away all your bodily relationships from your intellect and connect yourself to Me. Give your last life to Me.“
“Give yourself to Me”, means the same as when a wife gives herself to her husband and her husband gives himself to his wife or it is as when a father gives himself over to his son and the son gives himself to his father. “I am not asking you to do anything new“, says the Father, “you have been practicing this well.” Haven’t you given your life to your children? Your body, mind, wealth- you have kept it all for them. You say: “all this is yours”. So, He says, I am not telling you anything new when I say: “Give all of that to Me.” Whatever you have been doing for one another so far, I am telling you the same. Now, He says, belong to Me alone. Belong to Me and then look after everything as a trustee. Even on the path of devotion, I’d said: God, all this is Yours but I didn’t really give myself to Him; I simply said the words. “Yours is mine and mine is also mine”- this is what people have been doing but that deception can no longer continue, He says, no one can cheat God. I deceive myself by doing this, I cause myself sorrow and peacelessness. Now, He teaches, finish all of this ‘mine and Yours’. I belong to You and everything is included in that. I am Yours, that is all. Remove your intellect away from all relationships including your own body and connect yourself to Me.
“Belong to Me in a practical way for this method will be very useful to you“, He teaches. Only by belonging to Me practically will you follow My directions and then everything will become easy for you. “I have now adopted you”, He reminds me. When a child is adopted, he then lives his life with the new name in a practical way. In the same way, by belonging to the Father and by moving along as His child, my fortune will be made. “The Father is telling you something straightforward, easy and extremely simple and yet, only a handful follow this“, He points out.
The Father says: I have come into your world, this corporeal world, in this short confluence age just for you, So, at the very least, for however much there is now, at least think of Me. Now that you belong to Baba, at least remain pure for that time. Then such a reward will be accumulated for you that you will not need to work hard in that world at all. It is now a matter of just a little hard work, so in whatever way possible, even if you have to die, make a promise to remain pure. Have determination. Make full effort to observe your dharna. Now recognize the time we are going through. Open your eyes. Open your intellect and take full benefit of the time. Awaken your whole fortune.
