Baba's Shrimat on Family Life

Many new children of Baba shared their life story through emails and message. They say that they wish to 'surrender' in the Yagya, live at a BK RajYog centre and practice Gyan and Yog and do godly service from there. They ask us for guidance... In truth, it is Shiv baba's shrimat to stay with loukik family and study this Godly knowledge (murli) and follow the shrimat as much as possible. This is most beneficial time advise of the Supreme father:

Original Email Received on 2 Jan 2019

Om Shanti,

I want to reach out to Brahma Kumari’s to seek help for keeping my life together.

My wife is trying to follow the path of “Shri-mat”, and for doing that she has decided to move out of our relationship. I don’t understand if this is the right path (to leave family and home) for her to follow.

I have listened to Murali and other bk teachers regularly but I don’t think brahma Kumari’s suggest that one should leave their household to follow Shiv baba's shrimat.

I am sure brahma Kumaris does not teach anyone to leave their responsibilities and life. I am not sure what is the right path. But it does not feel right to me that she should denounce married life to live a “pure” life.

Please let me know if it is possible for someone at BrahmaKumari’s to guide us in the right path.

Thanks.

May we ask you to read this email to your wife and hope she will understand the real meaning of what is Shrimat.

Shrimat of Shiv baba (our Spiritual Father) is to remain Pure (celibacy, aka Brahmacharya), while staying in the family life and take this Gyan and do Purusharth of Yaad and self-transformation. This is the foremost direction of the highest of the high father, Shiv baba. Purity is the mother of peace and happiness. Lust indeed is our greatest enemy, who has given us the taste of sorrow. God is all knowing, and he knows this; and hence keeps us children in his holy arms.

What is Purity?

Purity simply means: to consider the self as a divine soul (a point of light) and all of us human beings are brothers and sisters - when we know and realise that GOD, the supreme soul is our spiritual father.

Rest, if you can stay pure and follow the shrimat and benefit yourself and your loukik family, while staying in family life, you should. But if it becomes hard, or if there is a lot of opposition, only then you should think to stay at Baba's centre.

Baba's direction is to stay with your family. The reason is - We all have a Karmic account with our family members. In this last birth, we must finish all those accounts so that liberation is achieved without sorrow. This is a path of Karma-Yog. Baba empowers us children to remain in a Yogyukt stage while doing necessary activities (karma).

You can do anything you love to, - do a job, go outside for a picnic with family, and fulfill all your responsibilities. But in your mind, you always remember that ''I belong to the One who is our most beloved spiritual father. He has come and became our teacher and teaches us the knowledge of creation and the creator. I am God's child.''

✦Keep a Balance in Loukik Life

The RIGHT PATH is the path of 'Balance'. Here is a special audio from us on topic:

"Balance in Shrimat and Family life". Must listen♪ https://www.babamurli.org/uploads/2020/12/Balance-in-Shrimat-and-Loukik-Responsibilities.m4a

Shrimat is -

This is also a 'responsibility' of us God's direct children.

Godly student is one who daily studies the Gyan Murli and do the 'dharna' in practical life. They become divine with divine virtues (Refer to: 7 virtues of soul)

Also the good reason baba asks us, children, to stay with our loukik family is -- This is an opportunity to do service to loukik family members, to give them Gyaan and make their fortune also. If there is any difficulty in staying with loukik family, then use the power of Yog to overcome the problem. When we souls connect to the powerhouse (the Supreme Soul/Shiv baba), we emerge our inner 8 powers. (Refer: 8 powers of Soul)

So you should accept this challenge that you can become an obedient Godly child and Godly student while staying with loukik family.

In fact, I also live with loukik family and most of the BK (Brahma Kumar/Kumari) also live at their loukik homes and does Godly service via various means.

How can God tell us to leave all our responsibilities? God is a perfect being, and he has come to make us 'perfect'. To become a perfect soul, one will have to face all kind of challenges. Remember that God, our most beloved spiritual father is now with us. Shiv baba guided us in Murli everyday. Just follow what is said in Murli. Rest all things are meaningless.

So dear sister, you should do Dharna of Gyaan.

✤Further advice

Make a notebook and write down important points from today's murli so that you can always 'revise' those points. Also, writing down main points will help in your Purusharth. You will remember those points when challenges come in life.

We hope the letter helps you and your family.
