Dadi Janki: 30.6.2011 - Public Prog. at Kullu, Himachal Pradesh
Develop a clean mind and a clear conscienceThe chariot - the body - is visible in a mirror, but our character is visible through our actions. I have to clean the mirror of my mind every day. Keep the soap (Lux) of your ‘aim’ (lakshya) always with you, for only then will the mirror remain clean. What happens if you just have soap but no water to do the cleaning? Or vice versa – water but no soap? You need both for the mirror to become clean.These days,
if someone does even a little bit of charity, they ‘advertise’ it. But they hide their negative karma from everyone. There is a vast difference between negative karma and charitable actions. Are parchintan (thinking of others), par-darshan (looking at others), pardosh (blaming others) charitable acts or negative karma? Do we stop to see what defects are hiding within the self? Many souls waste their precious time behind these three sanskars. We are on a world stage; our actions are visible to each and every one. If, after having read and studied several scriptures, I still do not experience happiness or peace, then what is the use? In order to remain in remembrance of one God, I need to have deep love and interest in attaining this. Waste thoughts weaken us. To spend unnecessary time thinking about what I should or should not do, or that he is like this, she is like that, etc, is all waste. Empower yourselves to such an extent that all waste ends. With a clean mirror of the mind, deep realizations take place. Have pure feelings for all. Rather than look and think about others, observe your own feelings and attitude. If your feelings are pure for others, things will look up. The power of honesty and love can make your progress very fast. I don’t know about cameras and computers but I do know about silence. Human beings have learned a lot from science, but they don’t make time to go into silence. Keep yourself protected from the three types of ‘wants/desires’ that plague humans these days:
1) Aisa hona chahiye (I want this to happen in this way…)
2) Thoda yeh bhi chahiye (I want just this much of this particular thing…)
3) Inko aisa nahi karna chahiye (So-and-so should not be doing this or that…
Parents are happy when their children study well; similarly our Supreme Father, God, too is most pleased when we study spiritual knowledge well. It’s time to stop following the dictates of human beings or dictates of the scriptures, and instead to follow shrimat.
As you see and hear, so shall be your sanskars. Keep the mind quiet. If I cannot keep my own mind peaceful, how can I expect to find peace externally? The mind is my baby; feed it well and it will stay peaceful. Feed the mind with proper knowledge. To receive knowledge means to receive understanding. Keep the mind clean and the conscience clear. The more we free ourselves from weaknesses, the more we receive God’s blessings. An egoistic person can never hope to have God’s hand on his head or God patting his back.My God is creating my fortune. If you wish to be a king, a leader, a sovereign over the self, then stay under God’s canopy of protection. My Baba is the Bestower of Blessings: May your heart remain happy! May your head remain cool! May you have an easy nature! Allow God to guide your every action. Om shanti.

Dadi Janki – – Mandi, Himachal
Baba says: Do not remember things of the past
When we say ‘Om shanti’ it reminds us of Baba, and so we try and fulfil Baba's hopes and desires. Any inspiration I have received from Baba has always taken practical shape.
We have to know the importance of time. For that we have to make effort. If our stage fluctuates, it's very dangerous. Don't question: ‘What shall I do?’ ‘How should I do this?’
I see how everyone is lost in love, and, when others come in contact with them, they too become lost in love. Baba has taken us in His lap and placed us around His neck.
Baba is praising the lucky chariot. We have the fortune of knowing and attaining Him through the lucky chariot. Baba has put the urn on our head. No matter what happens, we have to use what Baba has given us. Baba is sitting there and He will make things happen. If we go into unnecessary thinking, we will miss out on whatever Baba wants to give. At this time Baba is filling our aprons with blessings.
Our intellect should never go towards the lokik. If we allow this to happen, we will lose our royal status. Baba is watching us to see if our intellect is pulled due to attachment. I have to check that no attachment is pulling me.
I should not use ‘my’ intellect; if I do, no one will listen to me. I have to do everything with the power of the intellect – the intellect that Baba has given me. Baba is the Intellect of the Wise. I have to increase my power of yoga and I should not ask for anything.
Truth, love, company and co-operation have always been useful to me. First is the power of the yoga of the intellect and then the pilgrimage of remembrance. Baba is taking us on a pilgrimage of remembrance. Baba says: Do not do anything else, just remember me. Om shanti.
