Baba says, “Be a master almighty authority who constantly maintains your elevated pride and finish all types of distress.“

You are a Raj Rishi, Baba tells me. A Raja means one who has all rights and a Rishi means a renunciate or tapaswi. These two have to be in balance. Unless there is renunciation, I cannot be someone who has all rights. The first step of renunciation is that of the consciousness of being a body. I am a pure soul, not the body. Once body consciousness has been renounced, then the soul becomes bodiless, that is, I become a master. A master is happy because I have all rights over my inner kingdom. I am the master of the self and so I am constantly cheerful in the mind and the body. Being a servant, that is, someone who is subservient, on the other hand, is indicated by unhappiness in my mind and expressed on my face.

A servant is always upset. A self-sovereign is always seated on his throne. A servant becomes confused over trivial matters in a second, whereas a self-sovereign constantly experiences himself to be in comfort. “Check yourself against these signs“, says Baba, “to see whether you are a servant or a master of yourself.” Do any adverse situations, people, physical comforts or the environment make me lose my respect? Which is to say: do they take me away from knowledge, that is, do they cause me distress? A servant is someone who is always distressed, whereas someone with all rights is constantly a master almighty authority, a destroyer of obstacles and always stable in the pure pride of his stage. He maintains his honor and prestige and stays in pleasure whilst continuing to observe adverse situations, people and physical comforts. A soul who is a servant constantly experiences himself to be amidst all types of tests. A self-sovereign soul, on the other hand, is a boatman who takes his boat across happily through all the waves of tests as though it is a game.

“So, don’t ever leave your throne“, teaches Baba. “Set yourself with the magnet of remembrance and you will never slip off the throne.” It is when I slip off the throne that I place very big files of complaints and requests in front of Baba. Some complain that they have been upset for a month, some have been fluctuating for three months, some say they have been thinking for six months! But, they are all the same, says Baba. When all the complaints are put together, it is a big file! Beware, says Baba, that the bigger the file becomes, the bigger the fine that will have to be paid. That is, the more my stage is upset, the more mistakes I will make, the more unhappiness I will experience. The easy way to finish all complaints is to constantly fulfil the Father’s wishes, says Baba. When I say: “My desire is to…”, then that desire creates a file of complaints. Instead, it should be: Whatever is the Father’s desire is my desire.

The Father’s desire is: Each soul becomes one who constantly maintains pure and positive thoughts, who always has pure and positive thoughts for others and is a self-benefactor and a world benefactor. “Constantly keep this desire in your awareness and you will continue to move along without having to labor over anything.” Just as it is said: “Continue to move along with closed eyes”, so don’t keep your eye open with such questions as, “It won’t be like this/that, will it?”, Keep this eye of waste thoughts closed and continue to fulfill the Father’s desire, says Baba. That is, continue to place your steps in the Father’s footsteps. In this way, continue to follow the Father, don’t take new steps of following sister or brother. By doing that you prevent yourself from reaching your destination. Give them regard but don’t follow them. Accept their specialties and virtues, but place your footsteps only in the Father’s footsteps, teaches Baba.

But when I keep my physical senses- the eyes and ears open, so to speak, then they create a very big trap. “So and so said/did this…”, “they said this about me…”, “she didn’t smile at me…” etc. Just as a tiny spider weaves such a large web, in the same way, the senses create a large web and such a magical web that I don’t even realize that I am trapped in them, explains Baba. These webs make me unconscious to spiritual consciousness and to Godly codes of conduct. No matter how much souls who have come out of the web try to explain to servant souls and make them understand, they are unable to because they are unconscious, so to speak. It takes a long time to come out of the web too because the web is so large and so Baba says, Don’t go into expansion, merge it into a point. Become a point! Put a full-stop! Merge into the point and all expansion and the whole web will become merged in a second and time will be saved. You will become free from having to labor. You will become a point and be absorbed in the love of the Point. And this is the Father’s desire- for you to be absorbed in love. This is being a master almighty authority. Remain constantly stable in such a stage.
