Om Shanti!

Did you all meet Baba yesterday? We are in the same world, but live in different time zones. Baba is called ‘World Father,Teacher, and SatGuru’. Baba has given us the title also of world benefactor. We have to have a nature of benevolence to everyone whatever they are, even if we see their activity is not good, nor truthful. We need to have good wishes and pure feelings for them. Many souls ask Baba to change situations and the behavior of other people. How to help them to be truthful and to be peaceful, and calm, whatever the situations are. What will Baba say? “Have good wishes, and pure feelings.” Baba’s method is a little different. Baba had been talking more about Truth, Good Manners and also imbibed the ‘Power of Truth’. There are some people who tell lies and justify it. I remember Dadi Janki saying that  making excuses is worse than telling lies because you don't feel you did anything wrong, it is not a good habit, right? So, how to imbibe the Power of Truth? Dadi Prakashmani once was in a big gathering at Gyan Sarovar in Harmony Hall, she said in front of all that I have never spoken a lie, that was a big statement. In my life I have never told a lie ever. We also have to imbibe the Power of Truth. These days some children say that they cannot bear to see or hear anything false. Baba is calling it a special language because some people think I always speak the truth. So Baba says that is why when they see or hear something untrue then they become very upset or angry. Some become very forceful. If the other person is false but you become forceful on seeing that falsehood, then your force too is untrue. Baba says that in order to finish any type of falsehood imbibe the Power of Truth within yourself. Someone yesterday pointed out that everything in the world is false, even big leaders before election promise so many things, but as soon as they are elected they forget all the promises. Every system has falsehood, is there anything in the world which is true? Now you live in the world of falsehood, so you have to be very yuktiyukt, right? Otherwise you will be trapped somewhere. We have to be truthful but use the right method for whatever we have to say. Living in such a world we have to be okay, so it's not a question of being influenced, but also how to protect ourselves. We know that truth has its own power and I need to imbibe that power. So how do we remain truthful in this world of falsehood? That is our everyday's practice. Once Dadi Janki said her neighbor had some domestic violence. When the police came, they asked, “Did you see what happened?” Dadi said, “I didn’t pay attention.” If I said yes then I have to go to court and be a witness, and we don't want to do that right? We have some very smart Baba’s children, something happened and this brother spoke very nicely, “Yeah, but I don't remember.” So, is he telling a lie or is he speaking the truth? You don't want to get involved in whatever is happening next door or anything. We won't call it falsehood, but living in this world with the truth, you have to see that you don't get involved because everything is tamoguni, right? Even those who think they protect you, but that too is also falsehood, right? So use the Power of Truth, but be sensible also, and that is what Baba is teaching us.  Om Shanti
