It is considered contrary to attachment. It breaks the formation of attachment. Therefore, make resolves of God. Worship of God means the master-servant relationship; what is the true master-servant relationship? And how fit have we become in that? Make resolves of that. Make resolves of love for God, make resolves of His greatness. Then that is not called desire, that is not called attachment. On the contrary, those should be made even more. The desire to understand the greatness of Shreeji Maharaj, the Supreme Soul, meaning the realization of His form, or to experience one's own soul-form as a servant of the Supreme Soul, is also not considered a desire. It is considered only the desire for the attainment of the ultimate truth. And God or God's pure devotee... If I wish to attain the state of Akshar Akshar 1) Imperishable.

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.

So, he would finish his puja by five o'clock and reach there. Tucking in his dhoti dhoti An unstitched, long piece of cloth traditionally worn by males as a lower garment. It is usually wound around the waist with one end tucked in after passing it between the legs. Also known as 'dhotiyu'. Tap to open in glossary → Even in that, if any desire creeps in, one should renounce it. In that, if any desires or resolves of our mind creep in, one should renounce them. Just as Narayandas Swami was in Vartal as a devotee and served Pama Bhagat, so Bhagat became pleased and said, 'Here, take all these items of prasadi.' In the temple, there is a custom that if one serves, in the end, whatever prasadi is there, which was there at that time, they give it. Swami said, 'I don't want that, you be pleased.' If the desire to please, to please in that way, arises within, then renouncing it, and if there is a desire to please, solely to please, then that is not called attachment. Just as using one's own thing for oneself is not theft, similarly, if we have someone else's thing and we use it for others, meaning for the owner of that thing, or desire to do so, that is also not considered a desire. Similarly, using the body or any other praiseworthy material given by the Supreme Soul for the Supreme Soul or His devotee is renunciation. 'The Lord created the intellect, senses, mind, and life-force of people.' God has given them. Therefore, use our intellect for Him. Do not use it for ourselves, do not use it to fulfill our target. What is God's target? Use it to fulfill that. 'May I look better than him, may I get ahead of him, may I do this compared to him,' then all those are called resolves of attachment. And if I use my intellect fully for God, if I use my skill fully for God, then those are not called resolves of attachment. That is not considered a desire. Removing one's possessiveness and ego from it and engaging them in their service is called renunciation. The desire or effort to satisfy one's own essential need or essential hunger is not considered a desire. It is called a need or necessity. Desire is called the wish for transient objects, persons, or emotions. Eternal and ancient... To get attached to transient objects, to get attached to a person, to an object, to some place, then that is called desire, that is called attachment. There is nothing in this world that is eternal. They are transient objects. Do not get attached to them. Get attached to God. There is no problem in that. Desire is called the wish for transient objects, persons, or emotions. The desire to attain the eternal and ancient Supreme Soul and the desire to experience the soul-form is a need, a necessity. If I become a permanent servant of God, then that is a feeling. It is called servant-feeling, right? It is not called servant-action. He got the servant-feeling. Does he have the servant-feeling or not? So, stabilizing such a servant-feeling is not called desire. But in relation to God, yes. They do become servants of someone. If they become a servant, how long does it last? They desire a lot to become servants of great men. ...is never fulfilled. It keeps on increasing. Therefore, it has to be renounced. Whereas a necessity can be fulfilled. Without looking at whether it was fulfilled or remained incomplete, pluck it out. No one's is fulfilled. No one's worldly desires are fulfilled. Therefore, pluck it out incomplete. The earlier one plucks it out, the easier it is for him. Whether it is done or still completely raw, if one plucks it out, it plucks out quickly. And if it has become ripe, then if one tries to pluck it out, it does not pluck out by any means. Desire is never fulfilled. It keeps on increasing. Therefore, it has to be renounced. Whereas a necessity can be fulfilled, and its means are selfless action-yoga, selfless service-yoga, I was thinking today that how many sense objects we have enjoyed, how many pleasures we have enjoyed. How many times the mind's wish has been fulfilled. Is there anything now? Now there is nothing, not even its taste. If we had enjoyed sense objects in our previous birth, had been kings, then does its taste come now? That taste does not come. There is nothing, see. They are going to fly away like the fluff of the milkweed. What is there now, that too will pass. If we have pleased God in some way, then it is done. Nothing else. And pleasing, where there is a chance for effort, there one is pleased. Where there is a chance for pleasure, what is there to be pleased about? Where there is a chance for pleasure, if we run and sit there, what is there to be pleased about? Where there is a chance for effort, if we run and sit there happily, then one is pleased. And the chance for effort is only where there is no convenience. Where there is a challenge, there is a chance for effort. ...whereas a necessity can be fulfilled, and its means are selfless action-yoga, selfless service-yoga, also called selfless devotion-yoga, etc., are achieved through these means. There is a rule that from where bondage occurs, from there only liberation occurs.
