Where did all these thoughts originate from? They originated from the scriptures. From the scriptures, all thoughts are mentioned in the scriptures. All thoughts regarding the path of moksha are mentioned in the scriptures. Then, depending on one's inclination and capability, one adopts such thoughts from them. So, what is the title of this Vachanamrut? The thought of the intelligent. To attain the thought. To attain the thought. To attain the thought means that thought is present in the scriptures. There is water in the earth. But if one wants to obtain it, one has to dig a well or do boring. Even in that, how much water will come and at what depth, is not certain. What kind of rocks will come in between is also not certain. But one has to work hard for it. When one works hard, one attains that thought. One has to work hard on the path of mumukshuta. How much more of a mumukshu mumukshu A person in search of moksh. Tap to open in glossary → Then one attains that thought, as Maharaj said. [blank] One attains that thought. Just as water lies in the earth, thoughts lie in the scriptures. And great souls who have come from the scriptures, they themselves have put them into practice. So it seems so. If we just give any thought and say, 'Go, you will get moksha, all of you will get moksha,' it does not happen that way. Those thoughts are attained from those great souls. Sometimes they are attained through incidents, sometimes from the scriptures. But the original thoughts are from the scriptures. [blank] So Maharaj has said, as discussed earlier, that it is written so in the scriptures. The words of Draupadi, Sitaji, Kuntaji are written, and it is written in the scriptures. So some obtain it directly from the scriptures, some obtain it from the scriptures through a great soul, and from the great soul to themselves. Some obtain it while practicing, while practicing this path of God. Some may have studied the scriptures, but then they contemplate on that study, and if some incident happens, they obtain the thought from it. For example, Shastriji Maharaj got the thought of this Gurukul when he was going on a pilgrimage and saw that, saw an ashram ashram 1) Stage of life. There are four ãshrams in total, each with their duties and responsibilities – brahm-chãrya, grahastha, vãnprasth, and sannyãs. 2) Hermitage. Place where tyãgis live. Tap to open in glossary → This is indeed a thought of the path of moksha. How can more jivas worship God, and how can God be pleased with us? So from that, Swami got the thought. And when we read some of Swami's life, it is mentioned, isn't it, how Swami attained vairagya? While reading the story of Yamadand in Nishkulanand Kavya, Swami attained all those thoughts. Many people listen to Yamadand, and it is written in the scriptures, but not everyone attained it. But due to the qualities of one's own heart—sattva, rajas, tamas—and the thought of the scriptures, mumukshuta, and while serving the scriptures, one grasps that thought. The one in whose jiva it gets grasped is said to have attained it, Maharaj. To attain the thought is the Vachanamrut; it gets grasped in one's jiva, otherwise everyone listens. While listening to discourses, only some feel it, not everyone. Everyone listens. So it means they have not attained that thought; it is not grasped in their jiva. All thoughts of the scriptures are just there, many thoughts, and Maharaj said descriptions of various inclinations are written in the scriptures. But if there is some matching in one's own heart, in mumukshuta, and one has good qualities, and sometimes mumukshuta is strong, then one attains the thought from the scriptures. And if one attains the thought and it gets fixed in one's jiva, then it delivers one to God. So this is how it is in every mumukshu mumukshu A person in search of moksh. Tap to open in glossary → [blank] But that thought. Kothari Swami was new, meaning he was a sadhu, and when he fell ill, Manat Swami told him, 'You do seva.' And Kothari Swami grasped it, so Kothari Swami, for 92 years continuously, attained that thought; that is called attaining it. That is called attaining the thought. Manat Swami was such a servant. Extremely detached and highly devoted to God. He was a servant, so he had put that thought into practice in his life. And having put it into practice and attaining that thought, Swami, and especially when Swami Kothari Swami was ill and recovered, so the heart became completely soft, tender. Whatever is placed in it, and moreover, if one has great respect for Swami, then whatever Swami placed got engraved in his jiva. It got engraved in Kothari Swami's jiva. So Kothari Swami is said to have attained that thought. And he is said to have attained it through Manat Swami. Manat Swami is said to have attained it from the scriptures or from the guru guru A teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn.

Yesterday we were listening to Vallabh Bhagat's story, in that also it was mentioned, wasn't it, that when he was 16 years old, sometimes in the Gurukul... 13 years old. When he was 13 years old, in the year '13, a yagna yagna Sacrificial worship. Ceremonial ritual performed as a form of worship to seek the good favour and receive the blessings of the devs. Different items, such as ghee, grains, wood, and spices, are offered into a sacred pit of fire in accordance with strict scriptural niyams with the chanting of mantras that are prescribed in the Veds.

Tap to open in glossary → Then as time passed, in that, two thoughts seemed very good to me. One was that first he went in a train. He went in a train, and then his inclination for seva, so he got adjusted there in the kitchen along with Hariprasad Swami. And with the sadhus, After all the kitchen work was finished, then everyone had to go for darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2]. Tap to open in glossary → And from that, that devotee grasped the inclination to do seva from that train. Earlier there might have been something, the previous one, but when he came for the very first time, then he got the inclination to do seva. And secondly, he said, as the talk went in that, So that Vallibhai. Hearing Vallibhai's example, he grasped it. That after getting married... Huh? No one worships God after getting married, so Vallibhai decided that we will get married and worship God. When he had two sons, he handed over everything to them and said, 'I am going to the temple.' So he did the same. He did exactly like the real Vallibhai. He never remembered those children. Even though they were nearby, still he never, His vairagya was much stronger than our sadhus' vairagya. He had such vairagya. Extreme vairagya, indeed. We would feel that it was true vairagya. So he had such vairagya. And seva and this vairagya, both are said to have been attained. One is said to have attained it from the discourse, and since Hariprasad Swami Maharaj was in the service of Swami and Maharaj, so a candle lights another candle. A torch ignites another torch. So those who have attained such thoughts, or if one has mumukshuta—Swami was such a mumukshu mumukshu A person in search of moksh.
