What is the difference between service rendered by a servant, service rendered in Navadha Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → One of its questions is in a different form. Similarly, what is the difference between action, knowledge, devotion, and worship? Or what is considered the difference between devotion and worship? Maharaj asked the original question. Within that question, all these other questions are embedded. Here, in this Vachanamrut, the question is simply: what is the difference between Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → But within it, there are so many questions. Generally, if a servant serves the master, it is considered merely an action. Or, if you want to consider it more, it is counted as his loyalty. That is about loyalty. When a servant serves his master well, If he is a loyal servant, he serves more than a son would. A son might not do as much. So his That service is called an action. At most, it's called loyalty. It's called an act of loyalty. Generally, if a servant serves the master, it is considered merely an action. Or, if you want to consider it more, it is counted as his loyalty. But if a noble son serves his parents, that is called filial devotion (pitrubhakti) or maternal devotion (matrubhakti). It's not called loyalty. No one calls it loyalty. It can be called that if one wishes. But no one says that he is a loyal boy. He is a devotee boy, and a devotee of his parents. He is a devotee of his father or a devotee of his mother, it is said. Loyalty and devotion In action, at most, loyalty comes. Devotion does not come. Devotion is different from loyalty. It is different in meaning. And if one does the same thing for God, a saint, or the 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 → That is called true devotion. The other is called worldly devotion. It is called Pitrubhakti (devotion to ancestors) for that reason. But the real devotion, the word 'bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → So loyalty and maternal All these are called virtues. If one serves their parents, it falls under virtues. Devotion means, let them give it the title of devotion. But when it is for the Supreme Soul, then it is called devotion. So what is the difference between loyalty and devotion to parents? In devotion, there is the remembrance of glory. Whereas in loyalty, there is the remembrance of one's duty with honesty. If a servant is loyal, he feels it is his duty to serve his master. He is loyal. And the other one feels, 'My parents.' He has glory. So, in devotion, there is the remembrance of glory, whereas in loyalty, there is the remembrance of one's duty with honesty. And in the service of parents, there is a connection of both, that much difference will come. Extreme love is called devotion. For example, the Gopis. But that love can sometimes occur in a family, among family members, or even in a person of the opposite gender. So, mere love, even if it's extreme, doesn't become devotion. It's only called devotion if it's like that towards God. That's all there is to say. It should be in God. Extreme love is called devotion. For example, the Gopis. But that love can sometimes occur in family members or even in a person of the opposite gender. Because of this, they die for it. Therefore, the difference of devotion from ordinary love is that it is only for God, not for anyone else. If there is detachment elsewhere, only then is it considered true devotion. Maharaj has said that if there is love everywhere, then one's devotion is false. There is love for God, and there is also love for others. Then it is not called devotion. Maharaj says it's false love, a false devotee of rasa. Similarly, generally in Navadha Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → He performs that devotion, and glory is certainly present in it. But there is steadfastness, or other distinctiveness is mixed in. When there is other distinctiveness, then there is a side. A side is a very big thing. His side comes. So then that very thing is called Upasana. Similarly, generally in Navadha Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → That service, that devotion, or that action, all of that is Upasana. Such a special love is distinct from Navadha Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → Thus, the final step of Upasana will come in other distinctiveness. But without any action of devotion, But of devotion, Maharaj said only this in the ninth Vachanamrut, in the middle of the ninth Vachanamrut. Just one sentence. If one considers Maharaj to be like other avatars, it is considered an act of betrayal. So its meaning is that the point of other distinctiveness has been stated. Thus, the final step of Upasana will come in other distinctiveness. But is the existence or operation of other distinctiveness alone, without any action of devotion, possible? Just as if there is no milk, ghee ghee This is clarified butter or pure butter that is formed by heating it until the impurities in it settle to the bottom. Tap to open in glossary → Similarly, if all these actions are not present, if there is no devotion or no service, then other distinctiveness cannot remain empty. It becomes meaningless. Then its answer is no. True other distinctiveness is always perceived with the culmination of devotion. It never comes alone, it is not perceived. Sometimes it happens in some individuals, but otherwise, it never happens alone. In love, other distinctiveness comes. After that, it becomes fixed that now from this, a devotee There is nothing. Then that Upasana But it should come into his experience, and it should be visible in his actions, then it is considered true. If it's just in speaking or in an assembly, it's not considered true. First, it is understood, then it comes into action, that is necessary. Then if he has Upasana, then he It was said that after devotion, one step is remaining. It is said that one step is remaining. He gets other distinctiveness. If it's different in meaning, it won't come on its own. If there is proper culmination and a proper path, then it happens, all that happens. Vedanam Dhyana Vishrantam Dhyanam Shrantam Dhruva Smruto. Sat Sat 1) True. Real. 2) Permanent, imperishable and unchanging. Is unbound by the past, the present, and the future. Tap to open in glossary → Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → And in that, the devotion that is mentioned is Upasana. Vedanam Dhyana Vishrantam Jnanam Shrantam Dhruva Smruto. If the culmination of one properly culminates, it converts into the other. If milk is properly nourished, heated well, and curdled, it converts into yogurt. Then, if a procedure is done, butter comes out separately. Then, if a procedure is done, ghee ghee This is clarified butter or pure butter that is formed by heating it until the impurities in it settle to the bottom. Tap to open in glossary → So, if it's not done properly, and if something else happens to the milk, it won't become yogurt; it will spoil. So, the proper procedure of the scriptures has been followed. So now you are saying that devotion and worship have both become distinct, different in meaning. So it cannot be said. Some distinctiveness that needs to be mixed in should be mixed in. And if it should be mixed, then that same devotion is then called Upasana. And what should be mixed in? So this Other distinctiveness should be mixed in right along with it. Along with glory, other distinctiveness, steadfastness, and a side, when these four things are present, then other distinctiveness occurs. His side means that one of the two has to be sacrificed. When it comes to a side, who is called a side? One of the two has to be sacrificed. So there is a side, there is steadfastness, and all those words of steadfastness indicate other distinctiveness, they are pointers. True other distinctiveness, if one does not have steadfastness in one and runs everywhere, then how can it be called Upasana? It cannot be called Upasana. And if one cannot maintain a side, and everything is equal to us. Then how can it be called Upasana? So it happens. In that, the other distinctiveness has completely died. So it doesn't happen. Devotion, devotion is just ordinary devotion. For example, I serve you and I serve Vishwamangal Swami equally. Is that called devotion or not? It's called devotion. It is. He serves both with glory, so where did the devotion disappear? Other distinctiveness does not remain. So devotion does not become other distinctiveness. The glimpse of other distinctiveness should come, but it doesn't. He serves equally. That's why Maharaj used the word that they should not be considered like other avatars. He just said to know them as distinct. Then the clarity wouldn't be as it is now. Clarity doesn't happen. So, in the devotion of a chaste wife, chastity and worship, what is there? Chastity means a vow. In it, there cannot be such a thing as other distinctiveness. Huh? It is the glory of the vow she takes. This chaste wife, even if she is the wife of a poor man man Mind. One of the four antah-karans, with the function of (pronounced mun) generating thoughts and desires, and governing all of the indriyas. Tap to open in glossary → man man Mind. One of the four antah-karans, with the function of (pronounced mun) generating thoughts and desires, and governing all of the indriyas. Tap to open in glossary → What It's a vow, not glory. So, the internal analysis is not there. But it does the work of all of them. What is he supposed to do after knowing the other distinctiveness? I only have this one. I want to join only one. And he has already joined, even if he wasn't there before, and it's done. It becomes dull. It becomes like foolishness, can it be said or not? Huh? This is the third one. But of a chaste wife, meaning, the result of both becomes one. But the procedures are different. Forms are different. Both forms are different. True other distinctiveness is always perceived with the culmination of devotion. Or it is being manifested. In that, devotion is also of the highest degree. In that, steadfastness is also of the highest degree. And there is also a side. And even then, a glimpse of its distinctiveness, a glimpse of other distinctiveness, is felt.
