Is everyone happy? Everyone okay?

Do we have constant conversation with Baba? Whenever we listen to someone we have to try to get a proper understanding of what they are saying. I like what Brother Nirwair was talking about being an instrument. If I am the instrument of God, whatever I am instrument for, I can be 100% companion, taking directions properly, having heart to heart conversation with God. Generally, if you are an actor and there is a director, you will keep taking signals and to understand your role, you will ask the director for instructions. Especially in relationships with the Creator or Father, we could have a lot of conversation. Baba gives us teachings but still we would want to know what Baba needs us to do. Any task you start you ask Baba,“Baba what I have to do.” So, in this way, solitude is not physical silence, solitude is being with One, conversation with Baba will make it easier also. Sometimes when we are supposed to sit together in silence, we prefer to have a conversation. Nirwair Bhai had great responsibility, and I am sure he had a lot of planning and thinkaing to do. Whether it was the hospital or buildings; look at how beautiful Shantivan is. So, I like this whole idea of asking Baba, talking to Baba, having conversation with Baba. Go into depth of relationship with one Father. Being in solitude has two meanings: it isn't just external solitude, but solitude is also to be lost in the depth of the One. There are people who are divers, who go very deep into the ocean. They use fins on their feet, it looks like wings and they use those wings to go deeper and deeper. They enjoy it very much. I remember a sister, we still have that sister with us, and she loves to dive and she enjoys the ocean while diving. So, just imagine what they find in the physical ocean, and for us what we find when we are lost in Baba’s remembrance. If there is just external solitude you will get bored, then you will say that I don't know how I'm going to spend this time. Baba says,”Just go into the depth of one Father.” It is beautiful when you think of the many treasures you receive. When you become lost in the attainments you have received from the Father. So, we will do our solitude now with the Father, and have conversation with Him. Baba is our guide, also and at every step of the life we need directions from Baba, so conversation with Baba is important. Solitude does not necessarily mean silence, Baba is saying to look at your treasures, look at all your attainments, think about it, and be clear in your directions from our guide, Baba. We found that Nirwair Bhai always used to have some plan or other, so he was guided by Baba, he got direction from Baba. Solitude is not silence, solitude is to be with One. If we keep doing this: there will be a lot of clarity and kind of assurance that Baba will help me, Baba will guide me, I am protected, and I have all the treasures. A lot of beautiful thoughts in this relationship will emerge.

Om Shanti
