Bhagwan explained it to him very well. Excellent. 17. It is a matter that we can also understand. No one wishes to commit sin. And no one wishes to suffer misery. 18. But a person gets deceived. Further, Bhagwan is going to say, 'Kama esha krodha esha rajoguna samudbhavah.' A person 19. has a desire for enjoyment and accumulation. Enjoyment means the five vishayas, the happiness and prosperity of this world; there is a desire for that. And accumulation means if there is wealth and property, 20. we all have a desire to gather a little more. How does satisfaction come? Satisfaction does not come. 21. Everyone has small desires and big desires. That is called the desire for accumulation. It is not needed at this moment. 22. But if it is needed in the future, then let's store it now, even if it's not useful later. So a person has such a desire, a desire for accumulation. 23. And there is a desire for enjoyment. That is with a cause. If one wants to live, then enjoyment, meaning the five vishayas, 24. one needs it for sustenance, eating and drinking, all that is needed to live. People of this world need it, and those who have walked the path of Bhagwan also need it. Maharaj says that Narad, Sanakadika, and other siddha purushas remain in samadhi for a long time, and when they awaken from samadhi, they enjoy the five vishayas. 25. To sustain the body, one has to enjoy something, one has to provide for sustenance. So sustenance is connected with enjoyment and accumulation. If one is a householder, Maharaj has also said in the Shikshapatri, 26. to accumulate enough grain to sustain four animals, front and back. Wealth is not mentioned, but wealth is included in it. But it is mentioned for one year, not for seven generations. 27. Maharaj said to do it for one year. Until we do it for one year, it is said that we have obeyed Maharaj's command. Not doing it at all is not good. 28. Otherwise, one suffers. Maharaj, when that famine occurred in the year 1929, went around everywhere and said to accumulate, and those who did not accumulate suffered. And those who did became happy. 29. So Maharaj has said to do that much. But for seven generations. Our Guru Guru A teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn. Tap to open in glossary → 30.

Maharaj took it upon himself, upon his head. But Guru Guru A teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn. Tap to open in glossary → 33. What does he need? A bundle. Understand in a bundle. He is not satisfied with bread. 34. He needs a bundle. And to some, to some, to some, Bhagwan, Bhagwan is very compassionate. Swaminarayan Bhagwan fulfills the desires of Bhagwan's devotees, so he gets a bundle for some. 35. Then he says, 'He is not satisfied with a bundle.' He needs a chest. Not a bundle. 36. A chest. There were chests in olden times, now there are safes. In olden times, there were chests. 37. So not a bundle, he needs a chest. And if Maharaj fills a chest for some, then he is not satisfied with a chest, so he says he needs a truck.
