We have loved God and His devotees by remaining in the form of the soul, but we have not loved them with body-consciousness. And those who cannot remain in the form of the soul will certainly be tormented by enemies like lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and jealousy. Therefore, the true nature of those who do not perform devotion by becoming the form of the soul will certainly be exposed in this Satsang Satsang 1) True company.

When such an example is not found anywhere else, Maharaj has given His own example.

What did Maharaj say? That respect and honor should continue 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 → We are just using Vishnumangal Swami's name so that it doesn't become half. But if his respect and honor continue and we keep respecting him, sadhus have a great need to be respected, that "keep my respect and my position should remain. Someone should respect me, and all the great ones should respect me, only then will I do it, otherwise I won't. If God wants to be pleased, let Him be, and if not, then so be it, but I won't do it." As long as respect and honor continue, devotion remains pure. If there is no respect and honor, if there is insult, and if the one we are trying to please rejects us, will devotion remain in him? Mulji Brahmachari was serving Maharaj, and Maharaj rejected Mulji Brahmachari. He ran to hit him with a stone. A stone... Would Maharaj do what an ordinary person does? He ran to hit him with a stone. "Since you have come, I will hit you with a stone." Then what did Mulji Brahmachari say? "Hit me. But I will continue to do this. If your duty is to hit, then hit, and if my duty is to serve, then I will serve." So when that happens and devotion remains, Maharaj called it devotion. He says, "I believe and I teach." Similarly, when a devotee has happiness in every way and is respected 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.

The other would also understand, "No problem, scold me." And the one whose fault it was, if he wanted to understand, he would, and if not, he wouldn't. But he would get shaken up a bit. He would know that "this is all upon us." We cannot do that. What can we do? Because we don't have that capacity. If we start scolding those who are working? So Swami would only... break those who were working. The fault would be of someone else, but he would scold the one sitting next to him. Still. So if there is no fault and he scolds? If there is no fault and he scolds? Still, if he does not back down, Maharaj calls it devotion. He is said to have firm faith. If there is a fault and he scolds, then it is legitimate. If that cannot be tolerated, then it is something to think about. What? That is the bare minimum. Bare minimum... yes, bare minimum. It is called bare minimum. That life... life-long, right? Out of world. Out of world experience. No hamper, you remain. That "no string" was said, right? In relation. No string attached. What? No string attached. No string attachment. In that, lifetime, and that lifetime. Loyalty. But when there is insult in Satsang Satsang 1) True company.
