Baba says, “constantly continue to keep a balance between doing service and your stage.“

Service is the original sanskar of Brahmin souls, it is my very breath. The main basis for success in service though is my stage. If my stage is: Karavanhar Father is making me, the karanhar soul, do it. I, the soul, am the instrument, then, because with the feeling of being an instrument, I automatically have the stage of humility. Where there is humility, I continue to receive blessings from BapDada, from all my service companions, from the souls who come into connection with me and others in the Brahmin family. “Let the blessings in your account at this time become so full that from the copper age onwards, everyone will continue to take blessings from your image. You have to give blessings in many births, but you have to accumulate these blessings in just this one birth.“, teaches Baba.

It is the consciousness of “I” that brings me into body consciousness and this is what causes the biggest obstacle in Brahmin life. This wrong consciousness automatically ends with the feeling of being an instrument. When I experience that “Karavanhaar is making me do it and I, karanhar, the instrument, am doing it”, I will easily become free from body consciousness and will also experience the pleasure of the stage of liberation-in-life. “You are to attain liberation-in-life in the future anyway, but now, at the confluence age, the alokik bliss of the confluence age is truly alokik“, explains the Father. In the future, while I will be liberated in life, I won’t know it. It is only now, at this most auspicious confluence age, that I have the contrast before me of bondage and liberation-in-life. I have experienced both and so I have the appreciation for what it means to be liberated in life. Father Brahma, in his corporeal form, was an example of being liberated in life. While performing actions, he was beyond any bondage of action. In his interactions, he was like a lotus– detached and loving. “While having such a huge responsibility of a big family, of life, of making the children into yogis and making them into angels and then deities, and yet, he was a carefree emperor.“, points out Baba. “This“, He explains, “is called the stage of liberation-in-life.“

This is why on the path of devotion, they show a lotus as the seat for Brahma and this is the stage I too have to experience now. It is only at this time that I receive this inheritance of liberation and liberation-in-life from BapDada. It is at this time that I also have to become a master bestower of liberation and liberation-in-life. I have to become liberated myself and then bestow what I have on to others. In other words, the method to become a bestower of liberation and liberation-in-life is to become free from the consciousness of the body in a second. “This practice is now necessary.“, He explains. “Let there be such controlling power over your mind, same as you do over your physical organs.” I am able to raise my hand and move my leg as and when I want, similarly, I should be able to concentrate my mind wherever I want, whenever I want and for however long I want. Although the mind is subtler than my hands and feet, it is still ‘mine’ and so I have control over it. “So, just as you keep the physical organs under your control, in the same way, your mind, intellect and sanskars have to be under control, for only then will you be called a number one victorious soul.“, explains Baba. “If you give the order to your mind to reach the incorporeal world or the subtle world, are you able to reach there in a second?“, He asks. “Do you have this practice?” I do practice this but BapDada says, “you now need to pay even greater attention to becoming concentrated whenever and for as long as you want, to becoming unshakeable and not coming into upheaval.”

Life is lived in the mind. This is why there is the saying: “Those who are defeated in their mind are defeated by the world, whereas those who gain victory in their mind gain victory over the world.” And so BapDada repeatedly draws my attention: “O self sovereign children, now check this practice while walking and moving around because according to the time, you will now see many games of things happening suddenly.” When I develop the power of concentrating the mind, I then easily develop the power of determination and where there is determination, there is success. “So since you call it your mind, now with the reins of your powers, gain victory.“, He teaches. To be victorious in the mind is to be liberated in life and when I am liberated in life, I am able to become the Father’s helper in the task of liberating others. “So now“, the Father says, “constantly keep your stage ahead of you and continue to move forward in service.“
