The bearing of weapons by Maharaj, the main connection in that is of this only. Which has been described by the Upanishads. So, nowhere in the Upanishads does a flute appear. Nowhere in the Upanishads does a flute or a bow appear. Even a rosary does not appear. So, the form of Maharaj, all of Maharaj's, whatever Maharaj has propagated, in that, there is a direct connection to the Upanishads. The original connection is there. And yet, Maharaj has respected all these avatar worships, he has given respect to all of them, that itself is his greatness. In that, the more we know of this mahima, the mahima of Maharaj multiplies. Yes. And therefore, in the next shloka, Bhagwan himself says, "O Brahman," in this Akshardham, Purushottam Purushottam God. Supreme being. Bhagvãn. He is unparalleled, omnipotent and the all-doer, omniscient, omnipresent, the ocean of all forms of bliss, does not have any attributes of Mãyã, divine, always taking birth on earth for Tap to open in glossary → Lakshmi Lakshmi A devi (goddess) who is the wife of Vishnu.

Tap to open in glossary → All these parshads, weapons, where the description of Bhagwan appears, that is to make Bhagwan, what do you call it? Graspable. Conforming. To grasp him. It is for grasping. But Gunatitanand Swami said, "The entity of Gokul village is distinct." It does not come under this. Through this medium, one can go there, that is all. How are all these? Like the branch-moon maxim. The moon is seen on the branch of this neem tree. But now, the moon and the neem branch are millions of miles apart. Likewise, through all these mediums, the original form is to be grasped. The original form does not care about any of these. Does it mean that only if there is a flute, it is called the original form, and only if there is a Sharang bow, it is called the original form? Is the original form dependent on that? But to grasp what the original form is like, all these are needed. It is grasped through some medium. Bhagwan is not grasped without a medium, that is why. Therefore, they are all for the support of our intellect. By connecting with what the original form is like, as Maharaj said, one should worship Bhagwan in this avatar state. Keep that connection. That is why Shastriji Maharaj used to say, "That is this, and this is that." Keep such a connection. That is called conviction. Until that happens, Maharaj says, "His conviction is weak." Maharaj also said in the fourth Vachanamrut of Panchala, that on one hand is the supreme form of Bhagwan, and on the other hand is Bhagwan's form here. And if one knows the supreme form well and also knows the form here well, and unifies the two, then he is said to have firm conviction. And if one only knows the mahima of the conviction here, and has no connection with that supreme form, then the conviction is weak. And on the other hand, if one knows a lot of mahima of the dham, but has not established anything here, then his conviction is weak. So, keep the connection of both properly. Worship here, keep that connection. Then his conviction is properly firm. And that should be remembered from time to time. When Bhagwan performs human-like actions, then, "These are those supreme ones," that should be remembered well by him at that very moment. Then he gets firm conviction, says Maharaj. Does it remain constantly remembered? When there is Bhagwan's lila, stories, and all that, in that, the inclination of the mind is that. There is no need to do it all the time. But when 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 → and Parikshit had a doubt, then Shukdevji remembered that. That even if he performs human-like actions, only then is there a need to make that connection. Otherwise, if our mind is absorbed in Bhagwan, then there is no problem. But when he performs human-like actions, the mind runs away, so at that time, this connection has to be made. When do we know whether we have proper faith or not? When all these camps are held, and assemblies are held, and all the discourses are going on, is faith known then? Is faith known then? Faith is known when the time comes. Likewise, Bhagwan's supreme connection and the connection of this world, when is that known? Human character. Bhagwan performs human character and does some such lila, like creating confusion. Then he realizes that, "Well, yes, indeed, this is Bhagwan." So, Uddhavji had such a connection. 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.

Shukdevji had such a connection. The Gopis themselves had such a connection. That no matter what gestures he makes, but he is made of a different mold. So, they had such a connection, meaning they did not have a worldly connection, so that is called firm conviction. And if there is no firm conviction, and one moment it is like this and another moment like that, then it is not called firm conviction. The question arises, that this is that and that is this connection, is it only for Maharaj's form, or is that connection in other avatars too? Other avatars can also do it because they are all the worship of the one Bhagwan. Why? An avatar is perhaps not complete. Now, among the avatars, this is not the avatar, there are other avatars. Is there any certainty about that? What is that? That is supreme, supreme. If one is a worshiper of Ramchandraji Bhagwan, then that, that where does that go? Goes to Vaikunth Vaikunth The dhãm of Vishnu, and Rãm Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → In the supreme form. Does it not go to the supreme form? Where does it go?

How did differences occur in the original form? Did they go via? What is called a difference? That if there is complete disconnection. If there is disconnection. If we are coming from Mumbai to Hyderabad and stop at Gulbarga on the way, then in that, did this get disconnected? It went via. There, after that, how much we go down, what about that? Sometimes we don't reach here at all. If everything became fine there itself. If we got all the facilities there itself, then we don't reach here at all. So, that is the question.

How must Bhagwan be thinking? To keep all these equal. How to keep them equal? How to keep them all, if one thinks from there, then it works out. Yes. Suppose there is a company like Walmart. Now, there is a watchman of the store here. What does he think, "How does the owner of this think?" If it is known how the owner thinks, then everyone is equal, everyone gets equal justice. Is this how it is? Is this how it is? If the watchman keeps shouting like that, how will it work out? Think from his perspective. Conviction is formed by truth. What is meant by "by truth"? By knowing Bhagwan in this way, in the 63rd Vachanamrut of the first section, conviction is said to be by truth. Of the word "truth" what is the meaning? What is the etymology? "Tasya bhavah tattvam" (Its essence is truth). Tasya, whose? Tasya. Anadi (beginningless). And what is the essence? What is the meaning of essence? Reality. Real form. His thinking and his reality, and if we have formed conviction accordingly, then in our, in our heart, conviction is said to be formed by truth. Keeping him fitted in our frame and then forming conviction by truth, how is that by truth? That is conviction formed by ego. The word "tat" (that) and the word "aham" (I). The word "tat" and the word "aham". We, according to our arrangement, if we have formed conviction, then how will it last? If someone gives a hard blow, everything falls apart. And conviction by truth, how does he, what does he think? And how does he manage the entire infinite crores of universes and all the avatars? And if we believe and form conviction accordingly, then nothing wavers. Even if we see ups and downs in other avatars, we don't get affected, that wavering does not happen. What is called conviction by truth? Tasya, that intellect, what does he think in his intellect? Who? Maharaj. What does Maharaj think in his own intellect? And the form that is in the supreme dham, knowing what has he done all this? And knowing what has he come here? If one thinks about that, then his conviction is formed. We, sitting here, decide that Narendra Modi does not know this much and he made a mistake, and Amit Shah does not know anything. So, only we know everything.
