Om Shanti Everyone!
Happy Satguruvaar! The topic of being a karma yogi is very simple, but also it has many aspects, and every day through Avyakti signals, Baba gives us something different, very subtle, which requires reflection, practice, and we go into deeper understanding. Even when I read it or I listen, I instantly say, “Oh yes, it needs more attention.” I know that once in a while it does happen that the body, nature gives us certain challenges. Baba is saying that one of the ways to use the body is being a master, doing everything through the organs of the body, but most of the time, every karma yogi is more pulled by action than towards remembrance. Any time you ask anyone, they say, “Oh, I am doing this, I am busy, I have to do this.” All the time, the mind and intellect are pulled toward action. We need to do maximum action. We should never really be just sitting down, because we have to take care of Baba’s Yagya, and as much elevated actions we do that much fortune we create, that much higher status you create. It is not just sitting and remembering Baba that brings the status. Some like to sit a lot and some like to do a lot, but we need to have proper balance of both karma and yoga, and also the awareness of not consistently thinking about actions. To bring that quality in the action, you need to have remembrance of Baba, you need to have soul consciousness. So this is the point we need to use, reflect on, and then practice. So, for tomorrow the homework is not to have awareness of doing. Is it possible? So, we can practice, experiment, and see if it works. Baba says to remain free from the awareness of doing. Even though this is an old body, it is the greatness of this final body that the elevated soul, with its support, has supernatural experiences. The soul cannot experience anything without a body. So the body is that valuable for experiences. Baba says that the soul and the body are combined, so do not come into the consciousness of the old body. Be a Master, and make it work.
So, who is the master, the body or the soul? The soul is the master. So, the master just uses the body. Baba says to therefore be soul conscious. In soul consciousness, you are the master. If there is karma or action consciousness, you cannot be masters. That is the difference. Therefore, be soul conscious, be a karma yogi, and continue to enable yourself, enable your physical organs to perform actions. That is the little point in soul consciousness, then you are able to be the masters. Remain free from the awareness of doing. I am doing this. I did this. This is the consciousness of ‘I’. So, Baba said that I am performing action while being detached from the karma. Be detached and be karma yogi. Detached from where? I am doing it. I have to do it. There is so much to do, a lot to do. It has to be done. So, what is the method that we have to use? Soul consciousness. This I have to do, this is the consciousness of doing. Then there is soul consciousness. So, I think it will be a very good practice for us. All of us need to do it. I am underlining it and drawing attention even for myself. Be the master of the body and then be a good karma yogi. As much as we do this, we create our fortune, we create our status, not only through body, but Baba said in the Murli, even through thoughts, Mansa Seva. Service through mind, service through words and also through action, yagya seva. When we do all three, definitely three times fortune is created. That service also gives you a lot of power for the self, Baba blessings, and everyone's good wishes. That makes the soul very full. So, I think there will be a new kind of experience when we do this homework tomorrow.
Om Shanti
