Om Shanti!
Baba is giving us the title of being master merciful. Mama also explained that first you have to have mercy on your own self, that is, anyone who has done something which is not right, I should not hold on to it. I should just forgive that person, because whatever I'm holding is harmful for me. Make the past as past as quickly as possible. If you have sanskars of laziness then you should try to be active. If you find that you miss studying Baba's Murli, then be merciful and don't do that to yourself, because if you want to pass with honour, you have to study properly. So that means whatever I am I have to be, and whatever are the weaknesses, I have to be merciful and with determination change that weakness into power and strength. So I think a lot can be churned, reflections on how to be merciful toward the self and merciful toward others. There are many people who suffer because they think, “I had been so good with this one, I gave this one this, I didn't get the return. That person was not polite to me.” So, my judgement has to be right, and for that, Baba said that you need concentration or balance of two sides of the scale. The scale has to be held in the middle and you must have seen in India when they have to weigh the vegetables or anything, they take a time to balance. So, I was practising what that balance could be. Baba used the words, ‘no disturbance, no hulchal’ that means if your thoughts are wasteful, there is fluctuation. If your thoughts are very clear, steady, with understanding and gyan, then the scale or concentration is balanced. So this is a very good practice. Actually, we all should try for tomorrow. Every time just even for a minute, let me see how I can balance and make that scale, in a word, ‘still’. One is ‘concentration’, and the other is ‘still’. So, this is how internally our stage and then judgement should come, and that will be accurate. It is so common to have likes and dislikes, “I like this one, I don't like this one.” That's a disturbance. So we can practise to have a minute concentration or two minutes, balance the scale, and see that there is no duality within the mind. So, in your eternal stage or something, hold on to equality. It's a very good subject, unlimited but needs reflection and also practise.
So today we heard a lot about Mama saying to be merciful toward the self. It's only when you know that real mercy is my own efforts, whatever weaknesses are there, I always say that there are two things, one is weaknesses, the other is defects. Defects we have to remove if there are habits of any kind, but the other is weaknesses. Mama always used to tell us when we came in gyan that because you had vices and you did sinful action for two ages, even if you conquer vices, the weakness remains. So that is why the nutrition of knowledge, nutrition of yoga, divine virtues are all needed so that the soul can become powerful or strong. Weaknesses should be recovered. That is why they say that after you have surgery, recovery is more important, right nutrition, rest, everything is required for the self. So there are so many connected things we heard from Baba, we heard from Mama, and also the Avyakti signal. So compile all together, they are very deep, and after that use the title of being master merciful. The Father is praised because of a special virtue of being merciful. I think God forgives because He wants us to progress, He wants us to become complete. When you see images of the Father either in this land or abroad, He's shown as the Merciful One. Even in churches they say, “Oh God! The Merciful One.” Therefore all of you are merciful masters, So, become merciful and uplift everyone. Especially when there is no exchange of any physical or material things. It is more towards the soul, towards the person.Sometimes people want to pay you for your mercy or help, but we don't need to accept all that. So, it's a very detailed subject, and then again right judgement is required. If you keep practising then maybe one minute we can do it, but if you don't have practice you are still churning on that. So it's a good subject to churn and practice.
Om Shanti
