Dadi Janki – 10th November 2011 – Shantivan
Have I opened my account of cheerfulness?
It is drama that teaches us to remain cheerful. First we move into peace and then we can receive power from Baba. We then use the knowledge of drama to remain cheerful. This is the process for opening our account of cheerfulness. Using this method you can be constantly cheerful. One who can discriminate well can remain unshakeable, immovable and thus cheerful. Therefore, remain like a swan in this way. Such a soul will never ask for anything. They will remain very royal. They will stay in spirituality and thus be beautiful roses. Check: What type of flower am I? Am I a rose which is constantly fragrant? Have I removed all my thorns? Do I remain like a lotus - not letting a drop of unclean water touch me? Am I free from lust, greed, attachment, anger and ego? I am a soul... a child of Baba... I have to become free of these things.
Having come to Baba we have received not only an inheritance for the future but we receive a dowry full of treasures for this moment also. He gives us wonderful places to do service as a dowry. Baba is the One who is full of all treasures. Why then should I not take as much as He wishes to give me?
Keep Baba's praise and titles with you and emerge them as you speak. He is the Ocean of Knowledge, The Ocean of Love, The Ocean of Bliss, The Purifier... Speak of Baba's praise and allow that praise to take you into a stage of intoxication as you give gyan. Not only will you then feel wonderful but those who are listening will also be satisfied. They will feel that what you are saying is right. Speak of His virtues and emerge those virtues in yourself.
It is time to finish all our internal weaknesses. For this Baba's remembrance is essential. Remember His virtues and those virtues will emerge in you, finishing all the weaknesses and deficiencies within. We have to keep taking rays from the Sun of Knowledge. Powerful remembrance will allow you to finish all your bad and weak habits. It is not the time to keep on looking at the weaknesses and defects of others. No, I have to focus on my own self. The more you remain in silence, the better. Everything can be accomplished through silence. When you come into any feeling, do not come into words. Remain silent and work on your stage.
Now focus on remaining happy. Take power from Baba and you will find that you are able to remain happy. When you remain happy and powerful anything that comes in front of you appears small. Remember; it is my task to distribute whatever Baba gives. To distribute is a great charity. If I don't have anything then what can I donate? Therefore, I have to take every opportunity I am given to accumulate in myself. Baba has told us clearly how to accumulate. We have gyan, Shrimat and the codes of conduct for this. Inculcate in the self and explain to others. That is what this life for.
On seeing my life, others should be inspired to change. There are some main points to pay attention to in life. Firstly, food. Cook in remembrance and offer it to Baba. Don't eat without offering. Serve others with love and eat in remembrance of the Father. As is the food, so is the mind. If someone thirsty comes in front of me, I have to be ready to give them water. Secondly, as is the company, so is the colour. One who colours the self in Baba's company can colour others with their own company.
We are now engaged in service through the body, mind and wealth. The body is being used in service, the mind is being used in service and the wealth is being used in service. Therefore, all are benefitting. Do whatever service you do to the best of your ability and with a lot of love. Baba will then say that you are doing good service. You may have surrendered your body but each of us has to individually check: How much I have surrendered my thoughts, words and deeds? How much am I benefitting myself?
Om Shanti
