That to make these souls realize, for that, Gurukul has been established. So, Gurukul is first and Shastri Dharmajivandasji is second. Like that. Swami used to keep it like that. That was real, it was in practical. Now, we, in speaking, use it that, "Brother, now this work is first and then us." "All the cattle and animals are for my Lalji, He offers them as food." He used to say like that. So, if we do that, then it is not that "He offers them as food," but Maharaj, Shastriji Maharaj did, like Gondal Darbar used to do, like that, at the cost of this body, to spread that mission. At our cost, to spread that mission. Then we can be said to have served Maharaj and it is called tadarthata. That is called tadarthata. Tulsibhai had a question. Yes. That in the discourse of the day before yesterday, it was mentioned that if one serves such a Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → that work gets done for him in this very birth. And in Gunatitanand Swami's talks, it is said that if there is a mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul. A resident of any dhãm of Bhagvãn who has been freed from life in the lower loks to a more spiritually elevated state. There are varying levels of muktas: the muktas of Badrikãshram, Shvet-Dvip, Vaikunth, and Golok. The highest level of mukta, akshar- mukta, has attained ultimate kalyãn and is free from the bondage of Mãyã and the cycle of births and deaths. [Sãrangpur – 17].

So, how to understand this great glory mentioned here and Swami saying that there? I did not understand the question. If there is a mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul.

Tap to open in glossary → That is what Maharaj has said, right? It is also said in Gunatitanand Swami's talks. But Gunatitanand Swami, mostly, has favored this, that one should have affection for a Sadhu. Without having affection for an ekantik Sadhu of God, affection for Maharaj does not develop. He has mostly favored that. If he has said it somewhere, Maharaj, Swami has only said that much, that he who connects to himself is an asant, and he who connects to God is a Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → It is said like that, right? But Maharaj, in Vachanamrut, in Antya Antya End. Final. Tap to open in glossary → mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul. A resident of any dhãm of Bhagvãn who has been freed from life in the lower loks to a more spiritually elevated state.

Tap to open in glossary → Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → still, affection should not develop in him. That is the devotion of a pativrata. So, Maharaj's meaning is that affection like that for God should not develop in him. But in the state of spiritual practice, then even more than Maharaj, if he is a true Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → and if he is like what Maharaj has described in Vachanamrut Antya Antya End. Final. Tap to open in glossary → then Maharaj has said that by serving him, God is served. And that is easier for those in the state of spiritual practice. Serving God, for example, Shastriji Maharaj himself was intelligent, so he thought of such a mission. That grasping Maharaj's mission with intelligence, and working in it. But everyone's intelligence is not like that. Everyone does not understand that much. And in this Kaliyug, when the atmosphere is polluted, to grasp Maharaj's mission clearly from it, is not a matter of everyone's capacity. So, the easiest thing for him is that if there is some true and pure devotee of God, then to connect with him. That is it. So, what Maharaj has said is a matter of principle. What is the principle? That, brother, the principle is, if there is a pativrata woman, she has a relation with her husband. Not elsewhere. Still, if she serves the parents and guests even more than her husband, then the husband becomes pleased. By that logic, if there is an extremely supreme devotee of God, if one serves him, then God becomes more pleased. But the relation is that one, of pleasing God. Even in keeping atmabuddhi with a mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul. A resident of any dhãm of Bhagvãn who has been freed from life in the lower loks to a more spiritually elevated state.

One is not to marry him either. Marriage has already happened once to that one. Then, serving all these remaining ones is done to please that one. With such a feeling, Maharaj said that affection should not develop in a mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul.

Tap to open in glossary → Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → But otherwise, everywhere, what Maharaj has said, that what is called satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

He is indivisible, without a beginning, and without an end. He is self-luminous, omniscient, imperishable, satya, kshetragna, and the cause of all the activities that possess a form. He also has a divya body. 4) Also called Mahã-Purush, Mul-Purush or Akshar- Purush. Tap to open in glossary → Otherwise, would it not have been said that atmabuddhi in God. God is the number one first choice, but it is not said like that. It is said only to this. Leaving all those three, it is said to this. Even leaving God, it is said to this. 'Janeshvabhijneshu' then Maharaj might have written like that perhaps and spoken the words, but Vyas Bhagwan has said 'janeshvabhijneshu sa eva gokharah.' He has said like that. This only is to be called satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Wherever Maharaj has spoken of affection for Sadhus, sometimes he has mixed them, God and God's devotee. He might have taken like that. But in this shlok shlok A verse from shãstras. Tap to open in glossary → And if it does not develop, then an ox and a donkey. And if affection develops in this, then he became a liberated person. It is taken just like that. So, if there are pure devotees of God and with pure intentions, then if one connects with them, Maharaj says that a hundredfold merit is earned, it is said like that. A hundredfold merit is earned. But his intention must be pure. If they are spoiled from within, hidden intentions are wrong, then a hundredfold merit is not earned, it goes away. Whatever little we have, that also goes away. So, they are true to that extent, so it goes away, so we often say. That how to connect with a Sadhu? Then, to the extent he is connected to God, connect to that extent. If he is 50% connected to God, then we should connect 50%. Then if we connect 100%, then our 50 is zero, its fruit is not received. Only of that 50 is received. Because his capacity was of 50, right? So, whatever extra has happened, all that becomes minus. And if it is 50% and we are connected 25%, still we get minus only, 25% minus. Connect only that much more. How is his relation with God? Such a relation, that much relation we should keep with that devotee of God. If he is 100%, then there is not much to worry about. The meaning of the question is that rather than love for God, why is a hundredfold glory of this mentioned, of the service of a Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → Because it is difficult. If one wants to welcome Narendra Modi, then everyone feels like doing it. But an ordinary one wandering on that platform, one does not feel affection for him. There is no worldly inclination in it either. God is such a big, God's personality is so big, that even deities feel affection for Him, so we are like grass and straw, so we would obviously feel affection, right? Feeling affection for God is not our effort, our role is not much, the major role is of God. God, Shukdevji has said that 'ittham-bhuta-guno harih.' If one comes near God, He pulls everyone forcefully, such is God's role. And in that, our role is only a little. And here, if we go to keep such affection for God, for God's devotee, in that we have to do full patrolling, that one has no role at all. In that, we would rarely have such a role. In that, they are all embodied beings. So, in that, affection does not develop automatically. In that, we have to do it.
