Baba says, “Let the discus of self-realization continue to spin in your intellects. You can then remain stable in the unlimited.“

The Creator is my Father, He is the Master of the Treasure store and I am His most beloved child. I have all rights to that the Father owns because I have a right to the Father Himself. And yet, sometimes, Baba says, the children of the Bestower, are seen begging: “Baba, please do this work!” or, “Baba, get it done!”, “Baba, give me this experience…”, “Baba, please finish this obstacle..” I do this because I forget who I am and Whose I am. I forget the nature of the Father, that He is the Bestower who automatically gives me everything imperishable and limitless without my asking for it. He automatically gives me multi-million fold more than I could even imagine. “Don’t be a beggar even in your thoughts. This is known as having a right.“, teaches the Father. I won’t be a beggar when I remember that I am the child of the Bestower, that I have all rights. And I will remember when I constantly have the discus of self-realization spinning in my intellect. At this time, I belong to the most elevated Brahmin clan, I am the direct child of God; I have no reason to beg or want or need anything. I already have attained everything there is to attain. This is the tool or weapon, Baba says, to stabilize the intellect that might otherwise be caught in upheaval due to fear or worry.

Sometimes when I find myself in a situation or a circumstance, I think weak thoughts: “Just my karma…”, “just my bad fortune…”. But when I spin the discus of self-realization, I see my whole story- the beginning, middle and end of it. I realize that in fact, my karma is mostly really good and that my fortune is most elevated. These are just the last few scenes in a long drama; to call the whole story bad based on a few isolated scenes is narrow-sighted. Spinning the discus makes my intellect broad, it pulls me out of the limited into the unlimited, that is, it widens my perspective and stabilizes the intellect.

Sometimes, I become caught up in the many roles and relationships I call ‘mine’- my job, my child, my spouse, my responsibility, my center, my wealth, my sanskars etc. I forget I am a child of God and consider myself a householder; that makes me feel burdened and trapped. “You become free from all the different spinning when you spin the discus of self-realization“, teaches Baba. How so? The discus of self-realization is always shown on one finger; not on two or five fingers! One finger means only one thought: I belong to the Father and the Father belongs to me. The discus of self-realization spins on the finger of this one thought. When I let go of the One and become caught up in many thoughts, I become trapped in many types of spinning.

To be a spinner of the discus of self-realization means to have a vision of the self and remain happy and content for all time. If I don’t have a vision of the self, then, instead of being content and happy, I become one with many questions and complaints. Therefore, says Baba, always remain happy and content with the vision of the self, that is, be one who has a right to all attainments by being a constant spinner of the discus of self-realization.
