Are You ‘Madhuban-Ready’?
If an appropriate title were to be given to today’s Murli (31st December 2025), it would be: “Are You Madhuban Ready ?”
Take a moment to look within to introspect, self-reflect, and ask yourself the following questions:
- Does your inner state change when things don’t go the way you expected, or when something suddenly gets worse?
- Do you seek pleasure in accumulating or collecting things, even in your thoughts or imagination?
- Do you often feel a deep longing or an ambition quietly guiding your thoughts and actions?
- When someone hurts, insults, or offends you, does it affect your inner peace or sense of Self?
If any of your answers above is “Yes,” you may not yet be Madhuban ready. In fact, it may be more accurate to call yourself a Gyaani rather than a Brahmin or a Yogi.
Many Brahmins and newcomers think that being ‘pure’ just means staying celibate and following a strict diet routine, and that this alone is enough to visit Madhuban. But purity is much more than that. Celibacy and diet deals with the physical body, which is the easier part. True effort is required to control the subtle emotions within. True purity is about examining yourself deeply to see if any traces of the five vices exist within, not just lust, or as in the Vaani of 6th January 2026 – how often you fall from the five steps (floors).
A visit to Madhuban is much more than the excitement of a first trip, rushing to book travel, exploring like a tourist, taking photos, or meeting people you’ve seen online. It could be a life changing experience with right kind of guidance and when managed well. As a rule of thumb, if someone feels externally pressured to visit Madhuban, it often indicates they are being misguided by someone acting more in their own self-interests – interestingly a phenomenon frequently witnessed in Australia in recent years.
Today’s Murli reminds us that every visitor, let alone a true Brahmin, also carries the responsibility of preserving the sanctity of Madhuban and keeping it sacred, a place Baba calls the “Holiest of the Holy”.
