The propounded topic: The destruction of the jiva and love for the Satpurush is the only means to realize the self and God. The topic is like this. It is the Vachanamrut on the destruction of the jiva, right? There are two topics. One is about the destruction of the jiva, and what is the means for self-realization and the realization of God? Love for the Satpurush is that means. These two topics. These two topics are discussed in the Vachanamrut. The propounded topic: The destruction of the jiva and love for the Satpurush is the only means to realize the self and God. Key points: By harboring malice towards these four—God, God's devotee, a Brahmin, and the poor—the jiva is destroyed. Not being able to comprehend the means for one's own spiritual liberation is to be known as the destruction of the jiva. Destruction of the jiva does not mean the literal destruction of the jiva. What is the destruction of the jiva? That the path to one's liberation is not attained, Maharaj has called that destruction. Then, no matter how much cleverness one acquires, if one's liberation is not attained, then the jiva is destroyed. And Maharaj said in the previous Vachanamrut, right, that whether God is on Earth or not, whether the Satpurush is met or not, still the jiva's liberation can happen. Maharaj has made arrangements for the jiva's liberation. God has made arrangements in this world. But when a human body is attained, the jiva's liberation, can happen in any way. Maharaj says that if one meets the avatars of God, one's liberation happens. Otherwise, if one meets the true sadhus of God, one's liberation happens. Even if they are not met, if one remains in God's murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.

Yesterday we had the discussion, right, that it is the last question? There are pandits, they study the scriptures, and in the scriptures itself, the way to liberation is shown. And the way to understand God's glory is shown, understanding the glory is shown. Yet it does not come into their hands. They study, yet it does not come into their hands. Therefore, Maharaj says that is the destruction of the jiva. Not coming into one's hands, that means it is destroyed. It is available here, God has made the arrangement, yet it does not come into one's hands. Not being able to comprehend the means for one's own spiritual liberation is to be known as the destruction of the jiva. Despite knowing the scriptures and Puranas, one attributes worldly flaws like one's own to God and the faultless Sant Sant A sãdhu. A tyãgi. In the Vachanãmrut, sant refers to sat- purush. Tap to open in glossary → Exclusive love for the Satpurush is also the means for self-realization and the realization of God. This Vachanamrut is the Vachanamrut on the destruction of the jiva. Maharaj says, "It is my nature that I am extremely afraid of these four: God, His devotee, a Brahmin, and fourth, a poor person, lest malice is harbored against them. I am not afraid of anyone else like that." Because if one harbors malice towards even one of these four, one's jiva is destroyed. Muktanand Swami raised a doubt, "O Maharaj! The jiva is indestructible, so how should we understand its destruction?" Then Maharaj said, "If one gets a mountain's body or some other inert body, in which liberation can never happen, then know that as the destruction of one's jiva." One cannot make any effort oneself. If the Satpurush goes onto that mountain, then good happens to it. But one cannot make any effort oneself. God has given the human body so that one can make efforts oneself. And that bears fruit. One has to do something for how one's jiva can be liberated. Maharaj says here, "Lest malice is harbored against these four, we are afraid of that." Among them, one is God, who, solely out of compassion for the world, has taken a physical form on Earth, takes a physical form. Second are His devotees, meaning those who have surrendered everything for that God or for that God's mission. If malice is harbored against them, then the jiva is destroyed. It is written like this in Gunatitanand Swami's talks, that when God, Maharaj, was present, love was primary.
