Nirgun Swami has a question.

How should householders and saints perform actions for God?

The meaning of performing actions for God is, what did God come to this earth to do?

We have to decide what we want to do and then start doing it.

Which we call a mission.

God's mission is that every incarnation of God comes with his own mission.

They come with their own mission.

Lord Ram came to earth with his mission.

Lord Shri Krishna came, and he said the same thing in the Gita.

For the protection of the good, for the destruction of the wicked, for the establishment of dharma, I am born in every age.

To destroy the wicked,

and for the establishment of dharma,

I have to come to this earth, and I have come.

Lord Shri Krishna said that.

So, destroying the wicked was God's mission.

And only then is dharma established.

So, Arjuna always came the most in that.

So, it is said that Arjuna did the work of God's mission.

And all the scriptures also say the same thing.

Lord Shri Krishna also became very pleased with him.

And Arjuna is considered a Nar-Bhagwan.

Who attained importance equal to Lord Shri Krishna.

So, what caused Arjuna's greatness to increase so much?

He was useful to God, so he was useful.

God's greatness did not increase because of his qualities.

He became an instrument, a means, in completing God's mission.

He played his role in it.

So, Maharaj also came to this earth with his mission.

What was Maharaj's mission?

So, to introduce his own form and to free the jiva from the cycle of birth and death, this was Maharaj's extraordinary mission.

Then all those subordinates are all assistants.

To give happiness to dharma and bhakti, whatever other work is being done, whatever calculations are being made, that is to be done.

But Maharaj's main mission was this.

Maharaj was sitting in Dham.

Then Maharaj asked all the Gopal Anand Swamis, "Why does no one come here from this broken universe?"

This is a broken universe, isn't it?

Its identification ID is a broken universe.

Lord Vaman had broken it.

So, this is called a broken universe. So Maharaj asked, "Why does no one come here from the broken universe?"

So the saints told Maharaj, "Maharaj, if someone knows you and recognizes you, then they will come here."

Without truly recognizing God, one cannot go to God.

So if they know you, if they recognize you, then they will come. So why don't you make them recognize me?

Send a biodata.

Maharaj, all this work cannot be completed with a biodata.

You have to go for a face-to-face interview.

So you have to go in person, and then others will know who you are.

So Maharaj says, "Alright, but all of you have to come."

It's not good for me to introduce myself and everything about me.

All of you come and introduce me, and I will sit quietly.

And then, when all of you finish the introduction, I will open my mouth and tell everyone, and everyone will go into samadhi and see that it's correct, okay.

Let's arrange such a program.

So Maharaj, we have to arrange it as you say, what's the problem for us?

So Maharaj brought everyone.

And Maharaj's identity, meaning Maharaj had decided on such a mission even when he was in Dham.

That is, to introduce my form and to free the jiva from the cycle of birth and death.

And Maharaj had brought that mission from Akshardham, but when he left, he didn't take everything with him and go back.

He left that mission right here.

So he left it in the square, saying, "Whoever wants to do seva, do it."

Everyone who wants to serve in that mission is free to do so.

And God's pleasure is in that, God himself is pleased, no one else gets involved, he himself is pleased.

So if you want to do it now, this is how it happens.

It is God's mission work.

To introduce God's form, Maharaj's form, and to connect the jiva with Maharaj, and to work hard for that.

Shastriji Maharaj did this for that very reason, he established the Gurukul for that very reason.

That Shastriji Maharaj's mission, just as Arjuna did not have his own private mission.

He was working for Shri Krishna's mission.

Why Shastriji Maharaj did not have his own private mission.

He did this for Maharaj's mission.

So if we do that, it will happen.

Then we also call it Maharaj's dedication.

Maharaj is not present here in an unmanifested form right now.

So what can we do for him?

But to do it for his mission is considered doing it for Maharaj.

Great people love their mission more than themselves.

Just as Shastriji Maharaj used to give the example of Gondal Bapu.

That Gondal first and Bhagwatsinhji later.

If Gondal is served, Bhagwatsinhji is more pleased than if Bhagwatsinhji himself is served.

And Shastriji Maharaj also had that mission.

To introduce these jivas.

That's why Gurukul was established, so Gurukul first and Shastri Dharmajivandasji later.

Swami had kept it that way.

That was in real practical terms.

Now we use the phrase 'Bol Baba' that this work comes first and then us.

He said, "All the cattle on the stick offer their bhog to my Lalji."

So we do that.

So it's not like we offer bhog, but Maharaj.

Shastriji Maharaj did what Gondal Darbar used to do.

To spread that mission by sacrificing this body.

To spread that mission by sacrificing ourselves.

Then we are said to have served Maharaj, and it is called dedication.

Dedication.
