And if negative feelings arose, then he died. Negative feelings and respect are both opposites, aren't they? If he feels respect in his mind, feels respect that, "No, no, he is very, very good." Then he lived, like that. Then he lives. No matter what sins he has committed, he still lives. Maharaj says that, "The one whom a non-believer considers righteous, is not righteous." And the one considered unrighteous is not unrighteous. The one considered a sinner is not a sinner. Maharaj says, "What is the reason for this samadhi?" What to him? That he has committed sins, people might think he has committed sins. But if he appreciated the virtues of God's devotee, then all his sins are burnt away. And his jiva becomes pure. And he becomes capable of attaching himself to God. And he attached himself, so he immediately attained samadhi.

Then Maharaj says, "Never, even in future births, in his heart, will he have darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.

And negative feelings arise. That arises from within, doesn't it? Negative feelings arise towards his actions, or respect arises towards his actions. Then he fell and died, both. Maharaj said that, "He should be known to have fallen and he should be known to have died." And he should be known to have lived.

And if he fell due to lust, then a yaksha, rakshasa... these are all similar terms. If he feels empathy, respect arises for him, likes his actions, then he should be known to have progressed on the path of an ekantik. Maharaj did not say that if he turns fifty rosaries, he should be known to have progressed. That if he turns fifty rosaries daily, he has progressed on the path of an ekantik, and now he won't face any trouble. He did not say that. If in his feelings, he feels empathy for him, respects his actions, likes his actions, then he has progressed on the path of an ekantik, his train is on the track. And if he feels bored with his actions, with him, in his company, harbors negative feelings in his heart towards his actions, and does not like his actions, then Maharaj says, "He has fallen, if he had progressed, he should be known to have fallen." Then he won't progress, his train won't get on the track. The Vachanamrut of the thread of death. This Vachanamrut is of the thread of death. As long as it moves there, it is death. As he keeps moving, he becomes weaker. What is the thread of death? Huh? Negative feelings, boredom. That is the thread of death. If negative feelings arise in the heart, and outwardly he feels bored, then even if he drills up to fourteen hundred feet, water won't come out, if it's just boring, how can water come out?

In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → then his, towards him, towards his personality, respect arose in him, then Maharaj says, "All his sins are destroyed, he becomes extremely pure, and he attains samadhi." This is in the Vachanamrut of Vadtal. He immediately attains samadhi. His senses and mind, are all drawn in, and attach to God. Attaching to God, is the thread of life, like that. Detaching from God, is the thread of death. [blank] But before attaching to God, if he, with God's Satpurush, does not attach, then he won't attach to God. And if he has attached to him, and attaching to God is still pending, even then he has no problem. That is existence. Maharaj has said so in the scriptures. It is said so in the scriptures, and to him, Maharaj has said so.

Thus ends the Vachanamrut, which is the forty-sixth Vachanamrut of the Gadhada Middle Section. Now it is finished, now it is finished. How much is it? [blank] The propounded subject. The thread of death: the cause of falling from the path of liberation. Main points. Incarnations of God occur for the purpose of establishing His ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → For God's ekantik devotee, physical... So what does that directly mean? Incarnations of God are to establish His ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → ekantik, what is written? Incarnations of God occur for the purpose of establishing His ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → For the purpose of establishing the devotee's ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → [blank] Huh? It occurs to foster love for God's devotee. That is what was called ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Fell from ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → what did that mean? Love developed and negative feelings arose, like that. Love developed means he progressed, and negative feelings arose means he fell. So, to establish that ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → That means incarnations of God occur to foster love for His devotee, not to foster love for God. God comes and makes that very effort, that incarnations of God occur to foster love for God's devotee. [blank] Incarnations of God are for the devotee's ekantik, occur for the purpose of establishing ekantik dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → For God's ekantik devotee, physical death is not true death, but falling from the path of liberation is true death. The one who opposes a devotee immediately falls from the path of God. In this Vachanamrut, Shriji Maharaj has discussed, that in this world, a Satpurush, seeing any jiva's worldly loss or gain, does not feel joy or grief on his account. When someone's mind falls back from the path of God, then he feels regret. Because life is short and his afterlife will be ruined. The incarnations of God that occur are for the purpose of establishing dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → They do not occur solely for the purpose of establishing the dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Because the dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → pravrutti pravrutti 1) Activity in the form of social duties and affairs. In this sense, often used to refer to the path of a grahastha. 2) Can also include all forms of activities and responsibilities, including religious activities, such as sevã in the mandir, and attending to bhaktas of Bhagvãn. A person increases bhakti and sevã rather than dhyãn and smaran. Tap to open in glossary → dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Therefore, incarnations of God do not occur for that reason alone. Incarnations of God occur for the purpose of establishing the dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → They occur for the purpose of establishing bhagavat dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → They occur to propagate the path of liberation for the jivatma. Bhagavat dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Incarnations of God occur for that. God is focused on liberation. That is, His form is filled only with the thought of how to quickly bring about the ultimate liberation of jivas. Therefore, when God comes, He establishes and propagates His path well. After completing His incarnation's work, God returns to His abode. Then, the Satpurushas protect the path of self-liberation established by God and carry it forward. The main goal of the Satpurushas is also the same, to align with God and protect, carry forward, and make His propagated work the mainstay of life. That is why Maharaj says that incarnations of God do not occur solely for the sake of varnashram dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Similarly, Satpurushas also do not feel joy or grief from the loss or gain of worldly objects. He comes to establish the eternal path of liberation, and the bhagavat Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → In the vision of both, the loss or gain of this world does not hold much importance. Maharaj says that for God's ekantik devotee, physical death is not true death, but missing the path of liberation with this body is true death. Falling from the dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → In that too, the guardians of the liberating path propagated by God, and those who oppose such devotee Sants who protect it with mind, action, and speech, they immediately fall from the path of liberation. The path of liberation is subtle. It lives on the mental attitude and the inner intent. As long as the goal of that attitude and intent is God, it remains alive, and once that goal shifts slightly, the actions that remain, mostly become actions of worldly struggle. And mostly, it remains just a mere exercise. The actions of an ekantik are those that reinforce the focus towards God. They are for the benefit of the self-liberation of an ordinary jiva. Now, when opposition arises against that, Maharaj says he immediately falls from the path of liberation. Maharaj also showed why a jiva falls from that path. Why does he oppose the Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → The reason for that is the inner enemies like lust, anger, greed, jealousy, ego, etc. Before a true devotee of God, all these inner enemies cannot sustain themselves. Therefore, the one harboring them burns with anger and rebels against the Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → It is natural that where God is being reinforced, lust and other passions cannot be reinforced. Therefore, he develops enmity and opposition towards the Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → Then, Maharaj says, even if he is strict in dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → still, by virtue of his merits, he may go to the realm of the devas, but he will certainly not attain the abode of God. Rules, austerities, and other meritorious deeds are necessary, but the seed of liberation lies in the connection with God. Austerities and dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → whereas the ekantik Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → And in austerities and dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Therefore, Maharaj says, by opposing the ekantik Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → no matter how great an ascetic or follower of rules and dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Maharaj went so far as to say that even if one is guilty of the five grave sins, but if he has not harbored negative feelings towards God and His Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → then his sins are destroyed and he resides in the abode of God. Therefore, even more than the five grave sins, perceiving flaws in God's devotee, is a greater sin that destroys liberation. It is a great loss. That means which is the greater loss? This is a very great loss. Hail Sahajanand Swami Maharaj!
