Om Shanti! Baba is talking about clean and clear. What comes first? If you are driving,what do you want? Your car’s windshield  is very clean,very clear. So when you want something very clear you clean it. Every moment of life you need clarity, because every moment there is a choice in life, how do we want our life to be? Our life should be very clear and clean. Whether it is a relationship, money or anything, We want clarity so we need to keep it clean. It could be the other way round. If we keep it clean everything will be clear. Whenever it is not clear,we need to clean it more by going into the depth of knowledge. Baba calls us, “Master ocean of knowledge.” The more clearly we understand knowledge,automatically we will clean ourselves. Understanding of knowledge definitely will help us to keep everything clean. In everyday situations when you talk to a person for about 10 minutes,you still are trying to understand what that person wants? What are their intentions? I remember Dadi Janki used to teach us that first be clear in your  mind and then talk. If you are not clear about what you want, you keep repeating yourself, then the other person gets more confused. Ultimately we have to ask ourselves, “What do I really want?” Develop the habit of internally clearing everything, that also shows you are very clean. 

Dadi Janki mentioned that when we have mixed feelings, we get confused. You are not clear. So within one minute, remember it is drama, do not blame yourself nor anyone else. Sometimes we blame others and some people blame themselves. That means you are keeping others' personalities, words or actions in your heart. So we all have to pay attention to see even the subtle effects of more reactions. Even if that reaction might not be wrong, it is still a reaction and when you react, then it stays in the mind, it doesn’t go. The whole day you keep thinking, “I shouldn’t have said it, I shouldn’t have done that.” There are a lot of wasteful thoughts. If you clear your mind about whatever you have to say, say it clearly without reaction, then you will forget it. If we react,we don’t forget. So, this is why Baba says that to be clean and clear are very important qualities for the mind, and for intellect both. Baba is saying that Father loves  truth the most. On the path of devotion it is said that ‘God is truth’. Truth is lovely. Those who are truthful what happens is that they remain clean and clear. So, never let go of the speciality of being truthful. Baba also loves truth. Baba usually says, “If you made a mistake,come to Baba, tell Baba I made this mistake.” Not only will Baba forgive you, but He will give you blessings also. We don’t just need forgiveness or mercy, but we need blessings. Truth carries a lot of blessings and they come from the heart. The whole day we meet different people, hear different stories. Whatever I share is meant to bring unity and togetherness all the time. How to be clean,and how to be clear. All day there is action, interaction and we know that it’s a very big family. There are many things in which everyone needs to be honest. What do we need? Yagya takes care of us and Baba provides us everything. It is just a question of truth and honesty. If someone accumulates too much or takes more than they need, that also is not honesty, it’s also not truth. So we have to be careful,no influence under any vice. Whether it is greed,whether it’s attachment. Being clean is also viceless. Baba says, “When you are viceless,your wireless system works very well, then one thought in your mind will touch another person immediately.”  So, stay clean while settling karma also. 

Om Shanti
