If someone goes away from God and becomes averse to God, and does not experience the happiness of God, that is natural. There is nothing new in that. If one becomes averse to God's devotee and sits near God, then happiness will not come into his heart. It is said so in the Vachanamrut. Maharaj had gone to inquire about a devotee who was suffering a lot, and seeing that, Maharaj spoke this Vachanamrut. That when a devotee of God is harmed, the suffering that the jiva experiences from it is not caused by any other sin. Swamiji spoke in the morning, but I remembered it very well. I said it's very good. Muskura Swami said. Those who are averse to God do not attain the happiness of God in their hearts.

To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2].

Tap to open in glossary → And today, we have had such a thought that whatever harm is done to a devotee of God, knowingly or unknowingly, through mind, speech, or body, the suffering that the jiva experiences from it is not caused by any other sin. Therefore, to atone for any harm done to a devotee of God, knowingly or unknowingly, through mind, speech, or body, I offered one extra Pranam. And we have understood that just as much harm is done to a jiva by harming a devotee of God, and the suffering that the jiva experiences, is not caused by any other sin. And whatever service is rendered to a devotee of God through mind, speech, and body, and whatever good comes to this jiva from it, and whatever happiness this jiva experiences, is not achieved by any other means. And the harm that is done to that devotee of God is due to greed, pride. Read those two lines again, the other two lines. And we have understood that. The happiness that comes from serving a devotee of God. And whatever service is rendered to God and God's devotee through mind, speech, and body, and whatever good comes to this jiva from it, and whatever happiness this jiva experiences, is not achieved by any other means. What does it mean by 'by any other means'? What is it called? It doesn't happen by any other means, that's what it means. It doesn't happen by serving God. Even if one performs extreme devotion, it won't happen. If one performs other extreme devotion, such happiness will not occur. He does something that makes him happy, and then when he gets happiness, the other person doesn't get that kind of happiness. And whatever service is rendered to a devotee of God through mind, speech, and body, and whatever good comes to this jiva from it, and whatever happiness this jiva experiences, is not achieved by any other means. This devotee's glory came a lot, devotee. Hey. And that God's, your sadhu's didn't come at all. Only the devotee's came. And the harm that is done to that devotee of God is caused by greed, pride, envy, and anger, all four of these. And the respect that is given to a devotee of God is due to the absence of those four things. Therefore, whoever wishes to attain supreme happiness in this body, and also wishes to attain supreme happiness after leaving the body, should not harm a devotee of God through mind, speech, or body. And if any harm is done to a devotee of God, then one should pray with words. And with mind and body, one should offer Dandvat Pranam to him, and respect the conduct in such a way that no harm is done again. But one should not behave in such a way that after harming once and offering Dandvat Pranam, one harms again and offers Dandvat Pranam.
