2. It is Maharaj's power. Maharaj's power is very strong. In Junagadh, we had Yogeshwardas Swami, a disciple of Gunatitanand Swami. 3. So Yogeshwardas Swami did not have 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.

So his mother, in her maternal home, in the old days, the first son was born in the maternal home, meaning at the maternal uncle's house. So his mother, in Kemi Keral, or whatever that village is, his son must have been born there, so he was there. 5. Maharaj was taking a wedding procession to Bhatvadar to marry Dada Khachar, but Maharaj did not start the procession from the outskirts of the village. And in those old days, a wedding procession was the only thing worth seeing; there was nothing else. So when the procession left the outskirts of the village, almost the whole village would come out to see it, and 6. the women in the procession would get excited and then sing songs about how so-and-so is the king and is going to marry in such-and-such place. So this Swami's mother, in his purvashram, carried him in her arms when he was small, when he was born, 7. so carrying him in her arms, she went to see Maharaj's procession, Dada Khachar's procession. Everyone watched, and everyone had their own desire to see Swaminarayan. There were many talks about Swaminarayan, and he was very charming. 8. His name was Premji before, and he was carried in her arms. But when Maharaj looked at them, she covered her face with her sari. So Maharaj asked, "Sister, why did you cover your face?" 9. So they were all gossips, and they said, "We have heard that Swaminarayan Bhagwan's gaze is very powerful, and it might affect a small child." So Maharaj said, "My gaze has already fallen, and it has fallen upon him." And he grew up, there was no 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 → 10. And when he went on pilgrimage, Gunatitanand Swami, after Maharaj had already gone to Dham, Gunatitanand Swami met him at the temple there, and he felt that something had awakened. Maharaj's gaze had fallen, and samskaras had been imprinted, right? 11. So Maharaj said, "If you want to stay here, then it is for that purpose, it is free." And then he realized, so they got him married. After marrying, his wife brought him home, but he had already developed a strong attachment. 12. So after marriage, when he was in the room, he would sit facing the wall and do Maharaj's mala. In this way, for six months, his wife spoke to her mother-in-law, meaning Premjibhai's mother, and told her about her son's behavior. 13. And influenced by his impact, she was impressed and said, "If he wants to go, let him go. I give him permission." So then everyone gave their permission. 14. And he became a sadhu and was named Yogeshwardas Swami. He was a sadhu like God. Where Maharaj's gaze fell, Maharaj burned away that lust right there. 15. Without God's gaze, no one can achieve so much by their own efforts. Bhagwan Swaminarayan Bhagwan has shown such a powerful influence this time. Swami first said to make human effort, but then he receives the grace of a saint. 16. So Swami, the incident is such that a sadhu of Gunatitanand Swami experienced the rise of lust. Then, wanting to go back to worldly life, he finally came to Swami, and Swami placed his hand on his head and said, "We do not want to go back to worldly life." So his lust was burned away. 17. So this happened by the grace of a great purush purush 1) An akshar-mukta selected by Akshar-Brahm to ‘impregnate’ Prakruti for the creation process, from which countless pairs of Pradhãn and Purush are formed for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 2) Purush half of the Pradhãn-Purush pair, ‘conceived’ by Mul-Purush and Mul-Prakruti for the creation and sustenance of each brahmãnd. 3) Taken to be masculine in nature, Purush is the controller of Prakruti, and is also distinct from her. He is indivisible, without a beginning, and without an end. He is self-luminous, omniscient, imperishable, satya, kshetragna, and the cause of all the activities that possess a form. He also has a divya body. 4) Also called Mahã-Purush, Mul-Purush or Akshar- Purush. Tap to open in glossary → 18. He does it. Both aspects are needed, a little bit; it doesn't happen by one alone. Yes, yes. 19. Swami, two questions have come. That often, even if one has taken refuge in Maharaj and maintains 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 → 20. So it is difficult to overcome, Maharaj has said that. It is not something that goes away easily. It is difficult, one makes efforts. 21. It is from time immemorial, it is like brahmatya (the sin of killing a Brahmin). So it does not separate. It only goes away if one truly develops a deep attachment to Maharaj, otherwise it does not go away. 22. So one has to make many efforts. It is not something that goes away quickly with a few efforts. People make efforts, but they don't make enough efforts. 23. What we want to say is that even in today's time, the young people, we once went to a place. 24. So a question came from the women. A question arose from the women. That all their husbands were sitting there, 25. "You command them, we want to observe such a vow of celibacy. We want to observe such a vow of celibacy. Command them." 26. So Maharaj said in the talks of Swami, it is written that it has not been heard that women became renunciants anywhere before. Today, as you say, they are falling from the path at 20 years old. But that is considered a great power of God. 27. And it happens by the power of God. If one holds the power of God in one's heart and makes honest efforts, it happens. It's not that it doesn't happen. 28. Maharaj says. There are two questions from the sadhus. Does lust get eradicated from its root only by Maharaj's gaze, or is there any other remedy, or do past samskaras also play a role? 29. Everyone has a role. Everyone has a role. Maharaj has stated a fundamental truth in the 32nd Vachanamrut of Antya Antya End. Final. Tap to open in glossary → 30. "Vishaya vinivartante niraharasya dehina rasavarjam rasobhyasya param drishtva nivartate." That is the principle. "Vishaya vinivartante niraharasya dehina." 31. This vice is so powerful that in countless births, how many births we must have taken, there is no count. In no single birth has this vice been absent. Whether it's a creeper, a tree, or any small insect, no jiva has ever existed without this vice. As many births as we have taken, we have taken them with this. 32. So "Vishaya vinivartante niraharasya dehina" means to renounce it. Mostly, the meaning of "vishay vishay An object indulged in by the jeev through the ten indriyas Tap to open in glossary → vishay vishay An object indulged in by the jeev through the ten indriyas Tap to open in glossary → mukta mukta Free. Released. A liberated soul. A resident of any dhãm of Bhagvãn who has been freed from life in the lower loks to a more spiritually elevated state. There are varying levels of muktas: the muktas of Badrikãshram, Shvet-Dvip, Vaikunth, and Golok. The highest level of mukta, akshar- mukta, has attained ultimate kalyãn and is free from the bondage of Mãyã and the cycle of births and deaths. [Sãrangpur – 17].

A house does not bind. The people in the house bind him. 34. "Grihini grahamuchyate." The house is not the house. "Grihini grahamuchyate." 35. And one who renounces that is called a brave person. And it happens when one renounces it from the mind. 36. And renouncing it from the mind is very difficult. Swami said that even if anthills formed and only a skeleton remained, the sin did not go away. The sin that has entered the jiva did not go away. 37. So how can it go away for us who are just casually going about? How can sin go away for those who are just casually going about, brother? Their sin does not go away. 38. So Maharaj says that this vice has settled in very deeply. So if one wants to remove it, one might think of removing it in a day. Maharaj has spoken about conquering lust in the Vachanamrut. 39. That if someone surrenders their jiva to us, we will do that work for them. We have come to do that work. But people do not surrender their jiva. 40. If someone surrenders their jiva to us, we will do that work for them. Maharaj says that the work is very difficult. The entire 74th Vachanamrut is very long. 41. And it is worth understanding. That we will remove it from their jiva. But if the jiva is not surrendered to Maharaj, then such things must be happening. 42. If one surrenders the jiva to Maharaj, then Maharaj can remove it just by a glance. Maharaj can remove it by a glance. But if the jiva is surrendered, Maharaj says it happens. 43. That, "Oh, I was left behind." And if we command someone, "Who will go there?" they say, "I will go. If you have grace, I will go." 44. If the jiva is surrendered, if someone surrenders their jiva to us, we will do that work. Maharaj says that the work is very difficult. The entire 73rd Vachanamrut is very long. 45. And it is worth understanding. That we will remove it from their jiva. But if the jiva is not surrendered to Maharaj, then such things must be happening. 46. If one surrenders the jiva to Maharaj. Then Maharaj can remove it just by a glance. If Maharaj glances. 47. But if the jiva is surrendered, Maharaj says it happens.
