And when kirtans were sung in the curtained mandap, the sound filled it. Seeing that, Swami said that if we do not let the senses go into worldly pleasures, then knowledge remains filled in the antahkaran. It is very strong in that. There is a story that Omkarnath was a very great singer. And he practiced a lot. So it became very strong, then he always had to practice in a closed room, so he practiced so vigorously that he broke the window panes. It is so strong. So when he played music behind closed doors, everything resonated, it echoed. So what to do? If we do not let the senses go into worldly pleasures, then the antahkaran becomes pure. Then the antahkaran? Knowledge remains filled in the antahkaran. Then knowledge remains filled. The senses and antahkaran, when they go elsewhere, all the knowledge that is there gets scattered. All our knowledge gets scattered. It goes into attachment, it goes into infatuation, it goes into the five senses, so all the knowledge gets scattered, everything gets scattered. It never gets collected. Those have to be closed, then his knowledge remains filled, if it remains filled in the jiva, then it is useful.

Firstly, one recognizes the place, and recognizes Shriji Maharaj's will, and recognizes the Satpurush, then it cannot be taken. What does it mean to recognize the place? To the sadhu.

But if one only recognizes Akshardham, then what was the meaning of recognizing it as mentioned here? If one does not know about the abode here, then how will they know about Akshardham? Where can one remain free from attachments here, and where can one reduce their bondage? If one does not know that by staying here their bondage decreased, and by staying there their bondage increased, if they do not have that understanding, then how will they get understanding in Akshardham? Recognize the places here, and Akshardham is not something to be recognized. One has to recognize the places here, where one's nature diminishes by staying, and where one's nature increases by staying. Where does it increase by staying? No one shows there. Then. Huh? Shows. Then our nature diminishes. Where does it diminish? That's why it's said to recognize the place. Here our nature diminishes, here our devotion to Maharaj increases, our worship of Maharaj increases, if one has that understanding, then it is said that they have recognized the place. Otherwise, if we just keep grinding our own thoughts, it's not called recognizing the place. What is the meaning of recognizing the place? Where do our natures diminish? Which place is like that? Where does our devotion to God increase? Where does our worship of God increase? Do we stay where our nature diminishes, or where it increases? Huh? Where did you stay? Where did you stay?
