That God and great Purushas' grace is specially bestowed upon unworthy human beings. But that grace is specially recognized only by worthy human beings. The tone in reading is different. Even though God's grace is bestowed upon unworthy human beings, God and great Purushas' grace is specially bestowed upon unworthy human beings, but that grace is specially... such a tone comes. God and great Purushas' grace is specially bestowed upon unworthy human beings, but that grace is specially recognized only by worthy human beings. If grace has been bestowed upon an unworthy human being, he cannot know that God's grace has been bestowed upon him. What no one else received, God has given to me. And he does not feel gratitude for it. Grace and gratitude, the awareness of grace... grace is bestowed upon everyone. As for God, it is not that He decides not to bestow grace on someone or to bestow it. 'I am equal to all beings,' I bestow grace upon everyone. I do it indiscriminately. Yes. But how do we know whether this person has felt the grace or not? Based on gratitude. Gratitude is felt. The more one feels the grace, that God's grace has been bestowed upon me, then he should feel gratitude that, 'Oh! God has made me prosperous.' Where are we and where is that? Even a great saint like Nishkulanand Swami Nishkulanand Swami Disciple of Sahajanand Swami (Swaminarayan Bhagwan) and author of the Bhaktachintamani, as stated in the scripture's own closing colophon at the end of every chapter.

He felt in his mind that, 'Oh! I have reached here, by whose grace did I reach?' What do we think? 'I have reached here, by whose grace did I reach? There must be something in us, only then we reach, otherwise how would we reach?' If there is something in us, only then we reach like this, otherwise how would we reach? It does not occur to us that we have reached here solely by the grace of God, that does not happen. The reason is that he has not felt it. He has not experienced that it is God's grace. If a person goes forward, he goes by God's grace. And if he goes backward, does he go by God's grace or someone else's? How does it happen? His own destiny. His own... why? If something good happens, it is mine, and if something bad happens, it is someone else's? Is it like that? Why is it like that? God only does things for the good. Because weakness is not possible in God. There is no weakness in God at all. And where did this weakness come from? There were only two of us. When there are only two, and then weakness comes, where does it come from? It means it is ours. One should learn to accept that. Then he experiences God's grace. If something bad happens, it is ours. There are only two of us, God and us. So there is no weakness in God at all. There can never be darkness in the chariot of the sun. Similarly, there is no weakness in God, so where did this come from? We should investigate. Does it mean that by blaming others, we are actually blaming God? It is called bankruptcy. Blaming others is bankruptcy. Since God is not within our reach, we blame others, saying they did it. Moreover, God does not take credit for anyone's good or bad deeds, right? Even if He has done good to someone, God does not seek praise, He is not very fond of credit. What do they call a credit lover? God is not a credit lover. Similarly, He does not let infamy affect Him, He does not let it come upon Himself. Even if someone throws it on Him, He does not let it affect Him. So, when no one else is within reach, and God is not within reach, if someone else is standing in front, like Vishwamangal Swami, people poke their finger wherever it is weak. If there is a problem in your store, whom do you blame? If a book did not arrive on time in your religious items, whom do you blame? They find a soft target, right? When they find a soft target, they blame them. God is not so soft that someone can easily blame Him and walk away. And He is not a credit lover either. If someone wants credit, give it to them, God says, 'I have plenty.' Only humans crave credit, complaining, 'He didn't give it to me. We did so much, yet he didn't even look at us. Even though 20 years have passed and we worked ourselves to death, he didn't look at us.' Credit lover, this love for credit is given only to humans. Humans hunger for it a lot. God does not hunger for it much. 'I have plenty.' Give it to someone who wants it, God says. 'I will do the work.' But if someone wants the credit, give it to them. God also told Arjun, 'Be a mere instrument, O Savyasachin.' 'You are my friend, so I want to give you the credit.' Who wants to do the work? God. He says, 'I will do the work.' The run will be like that, but I want to give you the credit. So God does not keep credit either, and uncredit or what do they call it? What is its antonym, the opposite? Debt. It cannot be called debt. They do not keep that either, whatever it is. From the above discussion, one thing is proven: that God and great Purushas' grace is specially bestowed upon unworthy human beings, but that grace is specially recognized only by worthy human beings. How much grace can it be said that Swaminarayan Bhagwan has bestowed upon us? God has given power like that of an avatar. To the sadhus, He gave such wealth that even the Lord of Shvetadvipa envied it.

If only I had become a sadhu of Swaminarayan instead of this, it would have been wonderful.'
