Baba says, “The more loving someone intellect’s is at the time of destruction, the higher the status he claims. You mustn’t remember anyone except the One. “
The confluence age is the age of love- pure, selfless, soul conscious love- that is, it is the age of love as love should be. There will be meetings of deities in the golden age, of humans from the copper age onwards but it is only at this time that there is a meeting of angels between themselves and with the incorporeal Father. Angels are even more elevated than deities because they are helpers of God, they play their part alongside God, they serve the world with Him. The Father deeply loves His angels, they are His world. Love is the greatest power that attracts; it binds the Supreme Soul, who is free from bondage and free from a body, with the bond of love.
Brahma Baba became the #1 angel of God by becoming equal to the Father. He was the most loving because he was also totally detached. He thus gave the proof of being karmateet like the Father, that is, He gave the proof of being free from the bondage of karma, from the karmic accounts through the whole cycle. “Apart from the bond of love for service, there are no other bonds.“, explains Baba. However, royal forms of desire in service also tie some in the bondage of karmic accounts of service but true servers are free from those karmic accounts, teaches Baba. This is called the karmateet stage. Just as there can be bondages in relationship, there can also be bondages in service. The basis for the bondages in both cases is selfishness, that is, selfish motives. This selfishness of ‘I and mine’ becomes an obstacle in my becoming karmateet.
Sometimes, I have renounced attachments in the outside world but within the Brahmin world, I have attachments – “This is my student”, “this is my center”, “he is very good server”, “she is a very good teacher.” etc. and just like that I tie myself in bondage; I make someone or something belong to me. To have a loving intellect means to free myself from all chains of bondage- gross and subtle. This is called giving the proof of love. If there is even a single chain tying me somewhere, my intellect will find it hard to remain connected to Baba. I will get dragged back into the world. Firstly check if you are free from feeling any selfish motives in both the lokik and alokik, in actions and in relationships, says Baba. I want nothing to come between me and Baba. “Secondly, you have to become free from the karmic accounts of the actions of your past births and free from any influence of a wasteful nature and sanskars due to the weakness in effort at the present time. If any weak nature or sanskar influence you at any time, then you are tied in bondage, not free from bondage.“, teaches Baba.
To think: “I don’t want this to happen, but my nature and sanskars make me do it.” is not a sign of one who is free from bondage. “Another thing“, Baba reminds me, “when your original stage, your elevated stage fluctuates due to any service situation, any gathering or the elements, that too is not a stage of being free from bondage. Become free from that bondage too.” Thirdly, I have to become free from any upheaval of my elevated stage that may come through any illness. “It is one thing for the illness to come but it is another thing for that illness to make you fluctuate. It is destined for it to come, but for your stage to fluctuate is a sign of being tied in bondage.” Rather than dwell on the illness or the situation, my thoughts should be those of who I am, Whose I am and of the present time. Then, my thoughts, my feelings and attitude will remain positive toward the self and for others. I won’t worry, I will continue to live victoriously like Father Brahma.
“The more loving someone’s intellect is at the time of destruction, the higher the status he claims. You mustn’t remember anyone or anything except the One.‘, teaches Baba. Love frees me and the more free I am, the more I am able to stay loving.
