Baba says, “Remember the lesson of, “Whatever is happening is good and whatever is to happen will be even better”.“

To be a Brahmin means to be a child of God, practically. Devotees too sing: “You are the Mother and Father and we are Your children..” but they don’t know the One whose praise they are singing and so they don’t experience the relationship practically; they simply mouth the words. In my case, I recognize God when He comes into this corporeal plane to establish the new world. He adopts me and makes me belong to Him as His own child. He sustains me and loves me as the Mother and Father, in a visible, practical way. But He doesn’t stop there. He also becomes my Teacher and teaches me Raja Yoga- the study through which I become the ruler of the self now and the ruler of the world in the future. But there’s even more! He also becomes my Satguru and guides me at every step as to how I can liberate myself from the strongholds of Ravan and Maya. This is God Himself we are talking about! He is my Father, Teacher, Satguru, my Friend and my constant Companion. When this is the case, would it make even the slightest sense if I were to be worried, stressed, anxious, restless, or in despair? Even those who know someone in a high position in the world- maybe the mayor of a city or the governor of a state- they tend to feel at ease because of who they know. I know God, personally, intimately…He is my Father! It is a question of faith and the sign of faith is that I will be carefree.

The Father has come and revealed to me the three aspects of time– the past, present and future-, that is, He has made me trikaldarshi. In the past, I lacked this awareness and so I spent my days regretting the past and worried about the future. My mind was caught up in thoughts of the past: “I wish I’d known better..”, “I wish I had taken that opportunity instead of the one I took..” etc. or about the future: “What if this happens 2 years from now, what will I do then!?” But now that I have the knowledge, I am able to immediately apply a full-stop to these thoughts because I already know the answer. I took the opportunity I took, made the choices I made because those were what I needed on my journey. Even though it might seem externally that it was not the best choice, it is exactly what was needed to get me to the where I am now and to where I need to go. The realizations I have had, the lessons I have learnt as a result of those choices are what I needed to move forward. Similarly, when it comes to the future, it is indeed scary to think about what I might do if such-and-such a thing were to happen because I feel unprepared. But what I now also know is that if such a thing were in fact to happen 2 years from now, I will be prepared in time for it. I am not prepared now but I will be by then and it will be, once again, exactly what I need.

In other words, what has already happened was good, what is happening is even better and whatever is going to be the best. People in the world wonder and ask: “Do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?” In the past, I would worry along with them but now I say: “I know that whatever is going to happen tomorrow will be very good.” This much I know. How? on what basis do I know this? I know this based on experience. I have the best of all Fathers, I have become the best of all because of Him and I am performing the best of all actions now as a result of what He is teaching me. I am living my life based on His directions and so I know nothing bad can happen; it will always be the very best. “So, stay constantly aware that since you have found the benevolent Father, there is always benefit and more benefit.“, says Baba. My Father is called the World Benefactor, this confluence age is the beneficial age and so there cannot be anything where there is no attainment. “So“, says Baba, “constantly remember that whatever is happening and whatever is going to happen will be the best of all. This awareness will constantly continue to make you move forward.”

Maya uses fear, doubt and hopelessness as the means to hold me prisoner. But when fear knocks, I answer with faith; faith in who I am, in Whose I am and in the time. This is my new birth and my star sign or zodiac sign is that of a constantly flying stage. If I am full of hope and zeal on Monday but a train wreck by Wednesday, then that’s not faith. No! At all times, whatever is happening is good, and whatever is to happen will be even better. This is being aware of my horoscope and making it practical. Maya used to be powerful at one time. Then, it was a different confluence age- it was the confluence of the silver and copper age. That’s when she arrived because I forgot who I am and Whose I am. She took advantage of this amnesia and made me belong to her. But now, this is the confluence of the old world and the new world. There is no Maya in the new world, her days are numbered! The Father Himself is here and has reminded me of who I am, and so she no longer has any power over me, she has no more strength. Externally, she shows off the form of a lion but in fact, she is not even a cat, explains Baba. She takes a final shot by adopting a huge form to try to make me afraid and get me back into the prison of fear and doubt: “What will happen now?” etc. “Don’t ever say, “What shall I do? How will it happen? What will happen now? because BapDada has already taught you this lesson that whatever is happening is good and whatever will happen will be even better.”, He teaches.

Devotees pray before the idols of Lakshmi and Narayan but they don’t realize that Lakshmi and Narayan became who they are through Shivbaba. In their previous birth, they too had situations come to them, they too found themselves in different circumstances but their specialty was that they remained immovable and unshakeable because they had made this principle about the three aspects of time firm. They used the situations to develop their spiritual powers such as the power to tolerate and the power to face; they learnt detachment and became conquerors of attachment. They transformed from being householders that held on to ‘I and mine’ into trustees or children that only said: “Nothing is mine, everything is Yours. I am Yours.”. When I too make this transition from I to Yours, I too will become the carefree emperor, the detached observer who simply watches the games of Maya. I too will become the victorious world sovereign.
