Jewel_of_Contentment_21 Mohini_Didi December 21, 2024
Om Shanti!
Every day Baba gives us some more depth, more understanding, and the method on how to remain content, what is that stage of contentment. Generally when one month ago we began this topic, I always said, “I am a contented soul.” Now the more we are listening to Baba, the more we're learning different methods to remain content. Whatever our present situation or circumstances, remain content. So it's very interesting that today Baba is kind of taking us deeper into, what should be our stage if there is contentment, and it is that of a tapaswi and embodiment of their using word success, but this is accomplishment. Either it happens because of your thought, which is very accomplished, or you definitely will get it accomplished. That's also your power to get it accomplished. Contentment means that your heart and head are always at rest. I'll definitely try that. Even if we sometimes say that I'm always at rest, it's not really 100%. Sometimes the head is moving around and thinking a lot, and sometimes even in the heart, there are some kind of feelings. So it's very important for all of us, from now at least until the New Year, and then we begin again. That contentment means that your heart and head are always at rest. They're always in a state of happiness and comfort. Contentment enables you to receive blessings from the Father and others. Baba had said last week that contentment is seen through our joyful nature, our happy, cheerful nature. When you are cheerful, it comes from contentment. They can't see contentment, but they can see that we're cheerful. So a contented soul, will from time to time, experience the self in the flying stage, in the vehicle of blessings from the Father. So look, does that happen? Baba says that such a soul will not ask for blessings, but blessings will automatically appear for that one. A jewel of contentment, that is to become tapasvi and that is embodiment of accomplishment.
Whenever Brahma Baba woke up with Shiv Baba, there was conversation, communication, taking directions, and power. Then the whole day while doing actions, tapasya means he just kept the aim. I have to remember Baba, I have to keep Baba with me, I want to eat with Baba. It's like tapasya, that is tapasya, that is determination. Just imagine when we're doing that and gradually our remembrance is becoming more natural, then the power of accomplishment increases. Like we saw Dadi Prakashmani who would just have a thought and expressed that thought, and it gets done. Baba, tomorrow you will listen Murli, is congratulating Dadi, that she has to just say it and it gets done. So that is called the power of tapasya. Dadi Prakashmani never used to like to say then keep churning knowledge or keep sitting in yoga, she loved to be natural, doing all the actions. Like Jayanti behn was asking Dadi Gulzar about activity, and Dadi said that there will be normal activities. What about speaking normally? Why will there be silence? It's not that we speak all day, but we have proper communication. Yes, it is through the eyes, through the words, through thoughts, communication of different ways. For activity, why will we be doing nothing and just sitting? She said that there's no laboring, it's not like hard work, because there's no conflict, all are happy, all have the same sanskars. A lot of labor really goes on because when you listen to Murli tomorrow, you will know Baba is saying how you receive blessings. It's by cooperation, because cooperation creates unity, and unity helps in accomplishment of tasks also. If there is a state where there are centres, when they all come together, they can create a big retreat phase. Everyone wants to be on their own, independent. So then the task is difficult, no? So how does our tapasya help us to have necessary qualities and powers? What is needed at present? Many are asking Baba, for the New Year, what we have to do. Everyday Baba tells us. Even now, He's telling us to be accomplished, be an image of an accomplishment, or to be tapaswi who is also an image of accomplishment. What were you expecting Baba to say? He can only draw attention to what He had been saying that we haven’t really done. I am thinking about and looking at how our heart and brain can be at rest. Why do we have to think to get something, when so many times it doesn't work? What tapasya do I have to do? So, I think each one of us has enough homework, and enough to look at and see how to be an embodiment of accomplishment, embodiment that is an image of tapasya also.
Om Shanti
