In a person's Satyayug, there was a certain kind of spiritual and moral ideology. Therefore, it is called Satyayug. That is a major characteristic of Satyayug. Long life... During Maharaj's time, after Maharaj, an event. Near Junagadh, there is a village called Manavadar, and the Nawab of Manavadar, brother knows. Maiyaram Bhatt, he was our Haribhakt, but the Nawab of Manavadar was Gajefer Khan. He was our Haribhakt. He had a lot of devotion, extreme devotion towards Maharaj. At his own expense, at the state's expense, he built a temple there in Manavadar. At the state's expense. But not during Maharaj's time, after Maharaj, during Gunatitanand Swami's time. So he had a lot of affection for the Satsangis. He had a special feeling for the Satsangis. At that time, there was monarchy, and there was no democracy like this. So, since there was monarchy, he passed a law in the state that the tax of Satsangis is waived. To be collected from others. So then, in the state, there would be Vaishnavas, followers of other religions, everyone, Muslims. So they objected, "Why do you waive the tax of Satsangis and not ours?" So the king said, "I feel that they deserve to be waived." So then the king, Nawab Gajefer Khan, said, "I will show you why I have waived their tax." Then there is a school, all children go to study in the school, and when it is over, all children leave from there. So, from those who came to complain, five to seven leading men, gentlemen, were called and told, "You perform an experiment." What? At that time, silver coins of Queen Victoria were the currency. So he gave some coins. It was time for school to end, and before the school ended, about half an hour before, those coins were scattered on the road. Scattered, scattered loose. And then he told them all, "You all hide. You have to hide and watch what happens." So in school, children of Haribhaktas would also come, other children would come, children of Vaishnavas, from the whole village. School ended, so all the children ran from there. Here also they run, there also they would be running. They are in a hurry to go home, so they run. So all the children ran, taking their bags, and they ran with their school bags. They ran and saw those coins on the road. So, those who were the children of Haribhaktas, they did see the coins, they might have seen them, but they did not touch them, they passed by. And those others started picking them up. The king said, after all those children left with the money, then he called those people. That, "Did you see anything? What did you see?" They saw that none of the children of Swaminarayan's Haribhaktas took the money, and all others did. The Nawab said, "I want to make my subjects like Swaminarayan's followers." And if I don't give them some encouragement..." Motivation. If I don't motivate them. Then why would anyone feel like that? If I don't motivate them, how will the subjects know that this is going to happen? Therefore, I waive their tax. They are from that side. Therefore, I waive their tax. So, what we mean to say is that the leader should have a good mentality. The mentality should be developed, and based on that, an era is formed. The era is measured. How much is ours? Two paragraphs. Two paragraphs. Long life and great physical strength may be there in Satyayug, but the important things are those mentioned above. Only because of that, Satyayug... It is mentality. Satyayug is not considered because of long life. Satyayug is because of mentality. It is the cream of Satyayug, the... The core point is mentality. Only because of that, the greatness of Satyayug has become famous. Only kings or leaders can be capable of promoting such an ideology. At the time of Kauravas and Pandavas, both Vidurji and Yudhishthir were considered direct incarnations of Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world.

For that reason, Yudhishthir could promote Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → If we want to change the mentality in 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. Tap to open in glossary → If they have the strength, they can change it. Such a Satyayug sometimes prevails even in the dark Kaliyug due to the influence of a great person. It prevails in his field. Wherever he is seated and wherever his rule runs, like where his currency is valid, he can do it. For that reason. Similarly, there is not much significant change in the country, which is the earth, but if the king or leader is good, then that country also becomes good. Thus, a leader alone can change both, but both together are not so successful in changing human ideology. Therefore, compared to both... Our pilgrimage places or general pilgrimage places, it is not that people living in Gokul would automatically get devotion. The place cannot change a person's mentality. If there is a leader, then a person's mentality changes. It is not that if one lives in Vadtal, he becomes an extreme devotee, or if one lives in Gadhada, he becomes an extreme devotee. That is not possible for us. We are not criticizing, but this is a general rule. There, the place cannot transform a person. Swami, Vidur and Dharmaraja, so do both of them remain equal in attaining the fruits? In attaining the fruits, personally, Yudhishthir Maharaj gets more fruits for spreading the Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → It is not that Vidurji would degrade or anything, he himself was righteous and would go to God. But this one gets a special benefit. The work he had to do, he transformed other subjects also into Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → So he gets its benefit, Yudhishthir gets more of God's pleasure. Therefore, the person has more prominence than both. Therefore, Maharaj has interpreted Naimisharanya by giving prominence to the person rather than the place. Furthermore, Maharaj, while talking about when the flow of the senses becomes blunt, has said that just as an arrow with a sharp tip pierces deep into the target, and a blunt arrow without a tip bounces back, similarly, if the senses stick to the objects of enjoyment due to attachment, then they are not yet blunt. If, through the association of a single-minded saint of God, the soul has realized the flaws of the five objects of enjoyment, then the tendency of the senses does not stick to the objects of enjoyment. It bounces back from the objects of enjoyment. When this is observed, know that the flow of the mental chakra chakra 1) A razor-bladed disc. One of Bhagvãn’s weapons. Also called sudarshan chakra. 2) Wheel. According to yogic practices, chakras are centres of spiritual power and consciousness located within the inner body. The six chakras are: ãgnã, vishuddh, anãhat, manipur, svãdhisthãn, ãdhãr. Each chakra has its corresponding location and dev.

Place of dwelling. 2) Often used with kshetragna to describe a relationship similar to that between some land and its owner – the kshetra is the land, and the kshetragna its owner.

Our Satyam Company. A computer company. Then there was a lot of fraud in it. So then its shares, their certificates, had no more value than ordinary paper. So it is like that. Swami, Vidurji and Yudhishthir Maharaj, Yudhishthir gets more fruits because he did so much work in that position. And Vidurji had limitations, right, that he could not do it. If he wanted to do it, then? If he wanted to do it, he could, but he had not received such a platform. There must be a platform. He can do it. In the path of God, it is like this, God has given that to everyone. There must be a platform. Now, to find a platform, sometimes our destiny or our past deeds limit it, keep it within limitations. Limitations, meaning for a person, certain things happen based on destiny. Certain things, a person's body and financial status and family, all that is based on destiny. You cannot overtake that. Staying within its limits, you can find a platform to perform. So Vidurji's platform was like that. Now he realized that due to this destiny, there is this limitation. Now destiny cannot be changed. So then, if he still wants to do as much work as the other, what should he do? If he wants to do work, it cannot happen. If he wants to achieve the liberation of his soul, it can happen. If he feels, "I want to go wherever Yudhishthir goes," then he can go. But the benefit of Lord Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → for that, there is no platform this time. So, to please God, to please Him more, what should he do? If he does it staying within his limits, then there is no problem. Staying within his limits. If he helps Yudhishthir, then he is considered equal to Yudhishthir. Or it could be that God sees that he had such destiny... Maharaj, Yudhishthir... Vidurji attains the same as Yudhishthir. Attainment means pleasure. The pleasure is the same. When? If he joins in the work that Yudhishthir was doing and contributes, then he gets the same pleasure. Just that much. And Vidurji had done that. But he had not done a little bit. A little bit, because when the Mahabharat war started, Vidurji should have fought on the side of the Pandavas. But he became neutral and left. He became neutral and left, so Yudhishthir did not get that much help. And his becoming neutral and leaving, in that, his own mentality was working, destiny was not working in that. So, if his mentality breaks the boundary of destiny, if we break it, if we go beyond that, and that is attained, so God has shown its way in the scriptures. Because he who put down the bow, became neutral and left, that was his choice, and his mentality had refused. It was not due to destiny.
