Jewel_of_Contentment_2 Mohini_Didi December 2, 2024
Om Shanti!
Everyone is content, happy, satisfied, very sweet, and pleased. That is what the service is at present. Baba says to give someone courage, enthusiasm, and hope. You serve the soul. So how do we serve all souls? Dadi’s story is taking us to the origin of Om Mandali, beautiful experiences of all these young girls. Their love for Baba, love for God. They just surrender, sacrifice, detach, and they formed what we call Om Mandali. Dadi shared stories with a lot of details. It is very good, at least I am also hearing it in detail, so it is very interesting. Whatever is happening during these days, that means different situations and circumstances, and when we hear Baba's Avyakti signal, I find that it is most important that we can relate it to what is happening. Whatever scene, situation, circumstance can affect our stage. So, Baba is saying that if you are serving and you are disturbed or others are disturbed by you, that's not service. Baba wants us to be a consistent true server. So, I remember the early days when we came to Baba, there were few centers. Of course it was not like a proper seven days course, but if anyone came, we would give knowledge and then we would read murli to them. Gradually, there were lectures and then exhibitions, and gradually outside service began, but not in the beginning. At that time, Brahma Baba was walking, talking, sitting with children, doing karma yoga. There was a lot of service happening. Baba’s stage would keep all 300 Baba’s children busy, light, happy, and satisfied. It was Baba’s stage that was holding everyone together. So even now, yes there is a lot of service happening, but many places say that there is not enough service after COVID, less people come to the center. Don't get disheartened by anything. The first service you do is through your smrithi. Baba has said that there is Brahmin smrithi in Brahmin life. When you got this knowledge of the soul, that made you smile and you took a new birth. I am a soul, I am not a body. So this awareness is the whole day I am a soul, I am not body. Very interesting. Awareness will create the attitude, and that will create our drishti. That will affect our quality of words and actions. So you can do that constantly, and there will be a lot of service happening. So we must experiment with that. BapDada tells children to be constant servers, however if you are disturbed by something called service, it is better not to do that type of service, because the special virtue of service is contentment. Whatever we do, do it with joy, and happiness. That means, remain happy and do. So, Baba is saying that where there is no contentment, either with yourself or with those in connection with you, then that service will not enable you or others to receive the fruit. Instead it is better to first of all make yourself into a jewel of contentment and then do service. Each one of us has to see our stage at present, if not, we have to practice, we have to become. Baba says that otherwise this subtle burden increases, and that burden becomes obstacles in the flying stage. Not only that, but obstacles in the atmosphere also. Things won't be very light, and everyone won't be happy, but if each one is content, a joyful atmosphere will help others and the Yagya will be obstacle free. I really love this aspect that if I want to be a constant server, then it is very subtle. Never get disturbed, never get upset, have contentment. That is very important.
Om Shanti
