Remember the lovely Father

Baba says, “You have to remember the lovely Father. It is in your hearts that Baba is making you into the masters of the world. You repeatedly have to remember such a Father.

Souls call out to the Father when they become sorrowful. I become sorrowful when I become impure. I have been impure for half a cycle and have therefore been calling out to the Father for half a cycle: “O Purifier, come and make us impure ones pure. Liberate us from this sorrow and peacelessness and take us to a place of rest and comfort.” The Father has now come and He says: “Remember Me and remember the inheritance.” There is no other way to purity and thereby, to peace and happiness. My final thoughts lead me to my final destination. If I want to go to a place of peace and happiness, to a place of rest and comfort, then that is what I need to have in my thoughts and along with that, I need to make myself qualified to be a resident of that land. If my stage is one of sorrow, then I cannot become a resident of the land of happiness; if I am constantly peaceless and restless, then I cannot be a resident of the land of rest and comfort.

You have to create your own stage“, teaches Baba. Just as I cannot just become a doctor or a lawyer just by thinking of it, I have to study to become it, it’s the same here, explains Baba. Here too, there are both theoretical and practical aspects. I have to understand the knowledge of the soul, the Supreme Soul and of the beginning, middle and end of the cycle of time – this is the theoretical part; “This knowledge is a simple subject. It is not a big thing to remember the cycle of 84 births.“, explains Baba. Indeed, the difficult part is the practical aspect- the pilgrimage of remembrance, in which many fail. I try to remember and Maya makes me fall. It was when I forgot who I am that Maya made me hers and robbed me of all my inheritance. Now the Father is here to help me reclaim my lost inheritance from Maya- He says, “Remember!“. When I constantly remain in the awareness of who I am and Whose I am, then Maya cannot touch me. I not only qualify to become a resident of the land of happiness and peace but I become the master of that land.

Look how much difference there is! You should have so much remembrance of the One who gives you such an inheritance.“, observes Baba.

But in reality, most children don’t remember Baba throughout the day. It is one thing to remember Baba during special times such as Amritvela or in the evening when I especially sit down to remember Him. But what about the rest of the day?, asks Baba. What about while you’re walking, eating and going abut your activities? Do I continue to stay in remembrance then or am I caught up in the complications of my home and business? “You should practice remaining in solitude and remember the Father with a lot of love.“, teaches Baba. I hear this and think that finding solitude in hard if not impossible with so much to do during the day. But solitude, Baba explains, does not imply finding a quiet place and meditating for a continuous stretch of time. My hands might be busy but my intellect is connected with the One, this is solitude. “Baba, I promise You that I will definitely claim my inheritance from You. Baba, You are so sweet! By remembering You, all my sins will be absolved.” I talk to myself internally in this way as I go about the day, this is solitude. “Baba, I definitely have to become satopradhan now because only then can I claim the golden-aged kingdom of peace and happiness. Baba, I will constantly remember You. I have committed so many sins over the last half cycle. There is such a burden on my head. But by remembering You, all those sins will be burnt away and I will become brand new again. Baba, looks where I was and how far You have brought me! I want to continue this journey with You and go all the way Baba. While I cook, walk, eat, I will do it with You.”

If you talk to Baba in this way throughout the day, your wins will continue to be absolved.“, promises Baba. My stage will also become powerful, constant and stable.

So pay attention and check throughout the day: how much time did I stay in remembrance? Keep a chart, He teaches. Under any and all circumstances, you must continue to stay on this pilgrimage of remembrance. That is only possible when I learn to live tactfully in my household and interact with everyone with tact. Yes, people around me will be rude, insensitive, angry, irresponsible etc. – Maya will use people and situations to get me to lose my peace and if I take the bait, I won’t be able to stay in solitude. I have to learn to guard my heart carefully such that nothing and no one can come between me and my Beloved. “You have to make effort and claim your inheritance from the Father and also continue to spin the discus of self-realization“, says Baba. I don’t neglect the theory for the practical nor do I get busy with the theory that I fall behind in the practical aspect. I strike a balance.

The Father has come from the Supreme abode especially for me, to make me pure. “I remember the children who do very good service because they are My helpers“, says the Merciful Father who wants no child to be left behind stumbling in Maya’s kingdom. He counts on me to help my brothers just as He helped me. “I love those who benefit many others.“, He says. I become one who benefits many others when I become satopradhan; that transformation inspires others to claim their inheritance from the Father too. I can only become satopradhan through remembrance and so I can only become the Father’s helper when I stay on the pilgrimage of remembrance, that is, in awareness of who I am, Whose I am, the present time and what it is that I have to do now.

On the path of devotion, they even beat themselves in order to have a vision of Shiva. They make so much effort for visions. Here, I understand that my sins will be cut away not through having a vision but through remembrance of the Father; I will also receive an inheritance for the whole cycle. There is no benefit whatsoever from having visions- neither are my sins cut away nor do I receive an inheritance. Besides, there is no need to make effort for a vision of God; The Father has come here and is giving me my inheritance. He is not up above. He has come down here. So now, my duty is to remember the Father who is making me into the master of the world with a lot of love, to stay in His companionship throughout the day. What I am becoming is in my intellect, it is my birthright. This is the college for becoming princes and princesses of the golden age.
