The knowledge of knowing the Vibhuti in essence, transforms into the form of Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → What are we to understand? In this, God said that all this is my Vibhuti. So, if one knows that, then one gets devotion for Lord Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → We have to identify who is Swaminarayan's Vibhuti? What is Swaminarayan's Vibhuti? If one knows that in essence, then in Swaminarayan Bhagwan, 'avikampena yogena yujyate natra sanshayah' one gets unwavering devotion in Swaminarayan Bhagwan. One gets unwavering faith and Upasana in Swaminarayan Bhagwan. Then one does not go anywhere else. Unwavering. But what is Swaminarayan Bhagwan's Vibhuti? If one keeps looking at all these Vibhutis and does not recognize what Swaminarayan Bhagwan's Vibhuti is, then it won't happen. Therefore, in this verse, it is said, 'aham sarvasya prabhavah' and 'mattah sarvam pravartate iti matva', believing this, one has to worship me. Just as knowing is firm, in the same way, believing is also firm. That is, a firm belief in God yields results just like spiritual knowledge. In that, there must be a state of being doubtless and unquestioning. Just like King Janaka, King Janaka was wise. The fruit he gets, the same fruit Shabari Bhildi gets. Not less for either of the two. Shabari Bhildi gets the same devotion as King Janaka used to get. Both. The fruit of believing is as much as the fruit of knowing. Those who know in essence, their whole life passes away, and those who believe in essence, where is their whole life, they have to believe in a moment. Belief can be changed in a short time, and knowledge does not happen in a day. It happens even if the whole life passes away. How did Shabari know the Vibhuti of God? What did she know as Vibhuti? This is God. God Himself had come to her, so she did not know the Vibhuti. Even if there is a Vibhuti, one feels that this is a Sadhu, this is a true Sadhu of Swaminarayan. And they must be true. Then devotion to God is achieved. What did Maharaj say? That someone might not be like that and remains amidst Sadhus and does not understand anything. Even if the Sadhu beats him with shoes five times daily, he tolerates it and remains, then he attains as much as that Sadhu attained. That is the fruit of believing. Both of them get equal attainment. That is, a firm belief in God is like spiritual knowledge... when can he remain? If he believes. If he feels that no, no, these are true Sadhus of God and by staying with them our liberation will happen, if he believes that, then liberation... he can remain, otherwise how can he remain? There are many other places than here. If places are arranged like that, how can he remain? He cannot remain. One who has many places, cannot remain. There are good places. All of them are selected beforehand. And it is the seeker's... duty to keep checking how many good places there are. That is, a firm belief in God yields results just like spiritual knowledge. In that, there must be a state of being doubtless and unquestioning. Just as I But all the details of God do not go down the throat. Does all the detail of Swaminarayan Bhagwan go down everyone's throat? Even if they are Swaminarayan's dependents, it doesn't. Even if they eat Swaminarayan's food, it doesn't. There are details of Swaminarayan and they are Swaminarayan's dependents, still it doesn't go down their throat. And if someone says that Swaminarayan Bhagwan is the incarnation of all incarnations, then it doesn't go down the throat. But they eat Swaminarayan's food. They might even be Sadhus. Look, they eat Swaminarayan Bhagwan's food and have taken the garb for Swaminarayan and worship Swaminarayan, perform Swaminarayan's Puja, then what must they be doing? So, how difficult it is to believe, that is what is to be said. To be convinced is very difficult. If one has past merits and some Samskaras, then one is convinced. Otherwise, one is not convinced. Just as the beliefs 'I am a Hindu, I am a Brahmin, I am a Vaishya Vaishya Merchant. Businessman or employer traditionally dealing with financial and commercial matters in society.

This also Maharaj did not define... doesn't the definition come in this? 'tat atishayadhanartham tat niyantavyadravyam' God's Yesterday we had the same discussion, right. Why did God say that about Arjuna, 'pandavanam dhananjayah', why did He say that Dhananjaya is my Vibhuti? Why didn't He say Bhishma, Bhishma was also a devotee of God, right?

So they do seat God, but seat Him outside the circle. And feed Him. Come whenever you want to eat in the evening or morning, but in the circle, I will have to wash this again. So the circle will get defiled, so whether you say Bhishma Pitamah or whoever you say or we say, if our circle is separate, then we are not counted in God's Vibhuti.
