Form_of_a_Bestower#23 Mohini_didi September 23rd, 2026
Om Shanti! The mind is not visible, but thought is powerful. You are sitting here & you keep getting thoughts: I have to go & I have to do this. You can’t sit for long. That means the mind is making us to do every action. So there is that energy, that power of the mind. So then Baba says, don’t waste your thoughts; use them in an appropriate way. And this is the time; now we should have control over the mind. If we do not, then it will deceive us at the right time. Any habit Dadi Janki used to tell us if you have any habit, change it now, because maybe at the wrong time the same habit will emerge & you could be in problem. So notice there is let’s say there is fear, & in fear you change; you don’t say something which is true because you have fear. So then it could become a habit. There are so many habits of mind; that means the mind thinks that way. I remember that in school days, making excuses: I have a headache today I am not going to go. So one day, one of our parents sat & said, when you really get sick, then what would you do? So, a habit of not making excuses. Dadi Janki used to say making excuses is equal to telling lies, even worse. One is telling lies; the other is a habit, making excuses, o’ I can not do this because of this, because of that. So these are habits of mind & they are ordinary habits. One time, Dadi Prakashmani, very big public program in Gyan Saeover, in Harmony House, I can say in front of all of you that I never lied in my life & she was fearless. Even a lot of times you lie because you are scared to tell the truth sometimes. So these are subtle weaknesses of the mind, very subtle. And every day is the right day to change that. Yesterday maybe I did it, but today I am not going to do. Don’t allow that habit to overtake you. I must change today. Some day, one day, I have to change. Change under pressure, under circumstances, under force. A sensible person changes oneself before it becomes very bad. And then you feel Baba’s help also. Have determination; I have this habit; I am going to change it. So then this transformation, I think that is where our discipline, our maryadas, Baba’s Shrimat, we are able to follow all that. But if we go about mental habits, the mind is very clever, ya, it is! How many of you feel? The mind can also cheat you. Today it’s really like that. I don’t think I can manage. So it’s like the mind convinces you. So that is why use of knowledge, power of yoga, I think each one of us comes to know that now the mind is making excuses. Today I don’t want to wake up, come out of bed because body is not feeling well. Many times, excuses come & you decide, no, I have to wake up. I have to get out of bed & you feel okay. In bed, you are not feeling okay. These are little things which you have to pay attention to; in Pandav Bhavan, in Indraprastha, Dadi Nirmalshanta used to stay. So 3.30 am in the room, the light will be on & these dadis don't just go & sit for Amritvela but they will be properly dress up. One day I asked them, what if you wear night clothes? How can I go to my bridegroom? How can I go to Baba like this? So, even externally, not only mentally, they wore proper, clean clothes at Amritvela. They don’t just go & sit. And that had become their habit. They comfortably and easily were doing that 3.30 in the morning. Because the time which you miss, you don’t get during the day. I am always so tempted I like to get up. Alright, if you are not feeling well, then you sit; you will be okay. You have to tell your body. So how to make our mind with determination, with what we need to do in life we have to do properly? So the mind is powerful. But it is my mind, or is it someone else’s mind? Sometimes the mind works a lot under the influence of sanskars. And then we keep repeating. But that is why Baba says that emerge these sanskars or merge these sanskars. So sanskars also we have formed them Copper Age and Iron Age in body consciousness. So how do we pay attention to thoughts? Don’t repeat them, don’t do what the mind say & change the sanskars. Sanskars always speak. They are loud. I want this sanskar to change & the mind follows. But if I know this sanskar & mind says, I am not going to do it, no. I won’t listen. It’s like all the time there has to be effort. In a way, that is attention. So awareness, or smriti, that I am a constant spiritual server. It feels good. That’s why I sometimes feel we left home, we left the world, we left & I didn’t do what I am supposed to do. That means you have tyag; you renounced but not tapasy. What’s the use of renunciation? So always remind yourself: why I did all that if I don’t do what…. So Baba says that the more you become a donor, the more you will be able to make yourself full. Do you feel that? Do you experience it? Ya! When you give, you feel full! You do! Baba says, when your treasure stores are full, why should you not become a bestower? If you are giving treasures are becoming full & if it is full, why are you not giving? If your treasure store is full, then why don’t you become a bestower? Baba says that this is known as being a constant spiritual server. In order to become a world emperor, you do not just have to become a bestower of knowledge because it is very easy: somebody calls you with a problem; give a point of knowledge. Somebody came to me & said something. I said, you gave the point to someone; you give it to yourself. She said, what’s the solution? What is this? So I immediately said, you were just saying, so you also use the same point for yourself. So Baba is saying that for this, you also have to give love & you have to give cooperation, love & cooperation. Baba says if you take this high jump, Baba says you will become elevated in all aspects. How to take a high jump that’s the method Baba is giving us. So deep is this point & I am thinking if you really practice, the stage will be very elevated. Majority, even it is yagya seva, they are so absorbed in actions. One is action; the other is action-conscious, which is good. Otherwise, how would the yaya run? But then what’s the purpose of yagya? There is one sister; she cooks & while cooking, she has a thought. Who eats Brahma bhojan? Their intellect should be divine; they should inspire. She always has these thoughts. But there are some we have to cook; we have to just finish this. So their intellect is in action; karmayogi, not necessarily with Baba. So it's very subtly we have to check. Remember, your title is constant spiritual server.
Om Shanti!
