Om Shanti!

Everyone okay? Baba always talks about deities being civilized. Yesterday, Baba said, “Purity to divinity.” That means they are sweet and humble, not only cheerful but very sweet. When Baba talks to children He always starts with sweet sweet, whether it is murli or blessings or ‘sweet children long lost and now found children’. This word sweet, is a very beautiful word, bitterness of any kind is connected with one of the vice. Sometimes people are holding on to something, whether it is from their own thoughts or it is from someone else. There is that subtle impurity, then there is bitterness against someone, against a situation, or something else. We have to be very attentive, that is why Baba gives importance to making ‘past is past’ completely. We have little traces left of the past, about a person, about a situation, about what shouldn't have happened. These subtle heaviness or impurity in our behavior doesn't bring that sweetness, humility, or gentleness. You can see when they talk, from their faces there is something which is not so pure within the self. That is why I like when Baba is saying that purity is great. The greatness in our lives and personality is of purity. Are we humble, are we sweet, and forgiving. Baba said a few days ago very nicely, it is not that you don't have to correct anyone, but you have to do it with forgiveness. Many used to ask Dadi janki when you say something  to people they do not mind, but when we say anything to them,they mind. Dadi said that it is because you still have feelings of that situation or about a person. So when you say it, it has that bitterness or it can be soreness, not bitter, maybe. Our nature, our drishti, our facial expressions are seen through these sense organs. When there is purity in the soul there is conquering of vices, and removing all the past sanskars: vikar and vikarm. Baba had been connecting purity with our truth. Sometimes we try to save someone out of attachment, so we tell a lie because we want to protect that soul, right? Attachment also makes you not being truthful and greed definitely makes you speak lies because you have that need, you want that. So very subtly many people say I like this,I am attracted to that. Falsehood has become like adulteration. We have to look at the power of truth, connected with the power of purity. Then it becomes your greatness. Baba says that complete truth is based on purity. If there is lack of purity there cannot be constant truth. Impurity is not just the vice of lust because lust also has many companions. That is why we use two words kam and kamnaye. Baba says that  to be totally pure means that there should be no name or trace of impurity, only then can you become an instrument to reveal Baba. For Baba to be revealed you have to be like Baba, because Baba is truth. They say God is the truth. So you are also the truth. Like Dadi Prakshmani said in public that I have never lied in my life. People look at us, our purity and truth should be visible in our thoughts, words, actions everywhere around us should be purity and truth. If that is there, the presence of Baba is there. Baba likes purity. In the lokik way to know God they always say that everything should be clean, and good. When there is purity there is truth. Each one of us has to become the embodiment of purity and truth.

Om Shanti
