In this verse, the word 'yatantaha' has appeared twice.

He makes an effort with emotion. The emotion is towards God, and the emotion is towards the devotee of God. Oriented by that emotion, inspired by that emotion, he makes an effort, and inspired by attachment, he makes an effort; that is the only difference. The effort of both is equal. God has not said anything more or less about the effort; He has mentioned both. Both are equal in making the effort, yet one person experiences the Supreme Soul within his consciousness, and the other makes the same effort and through the same path, yet cannot experience the Supreme Soul. Ravana, Kumbhakarna, and that brother Vibhishana, all three came from the same DNA and sat sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → And when they performed penance, it was completed for all of them on the very same day. They had performed penance to Brahmaji, so when Brahmaji came, God felt, Brahmaji felt that he should go to all three of them at once. And since all three performed penance, all three received different fruits. For that one, sleeping for six months, Kumbhakarna. Ravana asked that he should not die, and Vibhishana asked that he wanted devotion. So, 'yatanto yoginashchainam' and 'yatanto'pyakrutatmanaha'. Ravana's inner intention was very polluted, that he wanted to kill God. He wanted to kill as many Gods as there were in the world. That was his polluted intention, and Vibhishana's intention was that he wanted to serve God. He wanted to serve God, so he received a different fruit. Otherwise, the giver was Brahma himself, the very same, one and the same, sons of the same father, sitting at the same place, same effort, yet the fruits were different for everyone. 'Yatanto yoginashchainam pashyanti pashyanti When the ‘parã’ speech reached the hruday-ãkãsh of Virãt-Purush, it became known by the name of ‘pashyanti’.

But the fruit of going to the aarti is different for everyone. If it is done reluctantly, or if one has to drag oneself there, or if that has happened, then the fruit is slightly different. If it is done with joy, going as soon as the devotee rings the bell. So, the fruit is received based on how his consciousness works from within. The effort is the same for everyone. Once it becomes a routine, what? Once it becomes a routine, the consciousness becomes like that, the consciousness falls asleep. Like when we crank that oil engine, when we crank it, after cranking it a lot, it starts with a couple of 'phat phat phat phat' sounds, and then once it starts running 'phat phat phat phat', there is no need to crank it, so all the consciousness goes elsewhere. The consciousness that is cranking, that should remain present. Even if it's fine, as soon as it slows down, it immediately handles it. So, once it becomes a routine, it means that the consciousness is not present. The consciousness is not present, his consciousness should be present. These people who are after money, if it becomes a routine for them, does their consciousness go away? Does the feeling go away? Every day more and more, every day they go to the shop and what? Every day they calculate the accounts. Every day they calculate the accounts. If they get less in the accounts today, they immediately think, why did we get less today? If they get more, then it's fine. They have a daily pledge that today I must beat tomorrow. I must beat yesterday. That is an unwritten pledge. Does it ever become a routine for them? And see, it becomes a routine for us. We never make a pledge that today I must beat yesterday. Or last year's, if we don't do yesterday's, it's fine, but where would we get that much consciousness? But even if we beat last year's, it's fine. So, routine happens when, when the consciousness slows down. Otherwise, it doesn't become a routine. Whether it is Pratham Pratham First.

That is why we have kept many doors in this temple, right? So that if there is some difficulty at one door, one can exit through another door. When one is stuck, that is exactly what happens. What does it say? A householder has so much new attachment to wealth day by day, it doesn't become a routine, so does that happen based on past impressions and past practice, or is the intention so strong? It is the intention. The past impression is, what can we say, like property inherited from one's father. When the father divides the shares for the sons and gives it, then after giving it, does that property keep increasing on its own? Whether it increases or decreases is then in the hands of the son. Similarly, past impressions mean what we did in our previous birth, God took that, packed a tiffin for us, and sent us, saying, 'Here, go, you have this much with you.' Now, whether to increase or decrease it is a matter of this birth, isn't it? So if there is attachment, attachment keeps us alert in that subject. If there is attachment to God, it keeps us alert on the path of God, and if there is attachment to the world, it keeps us alert on the path of the world, so it doesn't let it become a routine. Alertness means it doesn't let it become a routine. It doesn't let it become a routine. When a driver is driving, even if it has become a routine for him, he is still alert. Does he drive just by routine? Does it run on the road just by routine? Some of it might have become a routine, but still he is alert, so that as soon as an uneven situation arises, he immediately takes action. So he is alert. On the path of God, one must be even more alert than that. It should happen daily, the feeling should arise. It means that in addition to the effort, the Supreme... When we say, 'Nirvikalpa uttama ati nishchaya tava ghanashyama, mahatmya jnana sahita hari hari An avatãr of Bhagvãn.

There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → So what it is, is that we do not have that much attachment or love for God. If there were attachment, then we would calculate every day, how much has been done and how much is left. Those people calculate money every day, if it is a shopkeeper, does he calculate money every day, or every month, fifteen days, or a year? What? He calculates every day. He even calculates in the afternoon, yesterday afternoon it was this much, why is it only this much today? He calculates every now and then. Do we ever compare our life with Maharaj, or with the Vachanamrut, or with the great saints? How many years has it been? How many years has it been for Vishwamangal Swami? Since becoming a sadhu, 20? 20? What? It is a little less.
