Self-realization and bravery. There is a difference between the two. Maharaj said that Arjuna was brave. Yet he was not capable of seeing the cosmic form. The ability to see the cosmic form comes from self-realization. It does not come from bravery. In a brave person, there is still some bodily consciousness. Bravery is based on the body, isn't it? Bravery. Not good at fighting against the enemy, so he is brave. Shur and Veer. Shur and Veer, like that. He who destroys enemies is a hero. He who cuts down enemies is called a hero. And if there are many examples of brave warriors, then he is called a Veer. They give the Veer Chakra Chakra 1) A razor-bladed disc. One of Bhagvãn’s weapons. Also called sudarshan chakra. 2) Wheel. According to yogic practices, chakras are centres of spiritual power and consciousness located within the inner body. The six chakras are: ãgnã, vishuddh, anãhat, manipur, svãdhisthãn, ãdhãr.

Generally, if he destroys enemies, he is called a Shur. And if many enemies come and he cuts them all down, and doesn't retreat anywhere, then he is a brave warrior. Then he is called a Veer. And Mahavir, like that. Mahavir means one who destroys inner enemies, so he is Mahavir. That one is a brave warrior and this one is a Mahavir. He who cuts down inner enemies, no matter how many there are, is called a Mahavir. That's why in Jainism, they call him Mahavir Swami, don't they? Hanumanji is also called Mahavir, Mahavir Balvant. So, a brave warrior. But Maharaj said that Without self-realization, one cannot attain the state of having all desires fulfilled. It doesn't get mixed up. Self-realization and bravery. Detachment and that having all desires fulfilled and self-realization, having all desires fulfilled and contentment, contentment. They are different. In bravery, there is a worldly sentiment. And in contentment, there is also a worldly sentiment. Having all desires fulfilled is the experience of the ultimate reality. And self-realization is the experience of the ultimate reality. Self-realization comes when one experiences the essence of the self. And having all desires fulfilled is considered when the essence of the self is experienced. Until then, having all desires fulfilled is not considered. Like that. The subject matter presented Even after performing devotion along with one's own dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Main points. Maharaj has taken both dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → A devotee of God who is endowed with his own dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → So, even if both things are mentioned, having all desires fulfilled is not considered. Otherwise, by performing devotion, one should be considered to have all desires fulfilled. So what did Maharaj say? If one is performing devotion and his senses go towards sensual pleasures, then sorrow immediately arises in his heart, and the state of having all desires fulfilled in his mind is spoiled. His inner self becomes dejected. So, having all desires fulfilled does not come. Even after performing devotion along with one's own dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Main points. Without self-realization, spiritual flaws are not quickly removed. Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → So, if both are empty, they do not remove sensual pleasures. In devotion, there is a job of sensual pleasures, and in dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → So he keeps enjoying through that window. The door is closed, the window is open. So, through detachment, sensual pleasures are controlled. But the experience of the ultimate reality does not happen. The experience of the ultimate reality happens through self-realization. Through detachment, one disconnects from the sensual pleasures of the world. But the experience of the ultimate reality, Maharaj says, is self-realization and Maharaj's glory. Without self-realization, spiritual flaws are not quickly removed. Without the glory of God, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. In the present Vachanamrut, Maharaj says that a devotee of God who is endowed with his own dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → And that state of having all desires fulfilled is achieved only through self-realization and the knowledge of God's greatness. As much as there is a deficiency in those two, there is a deficiency in the state of having all desires fulfilled. Therefore, a devotee of God should firmly cultivate those two things. And as many flaws as there are in those two, If there is no detachment then the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. Because the mind goes towards sensual pleasures, doesn't it? But even if there is only detachment, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. If it's not there, it doesn't come, and if it's alone, it doesn't come either. So Maharaj did not emphasize detachment much in that. He took greatness. Although greatness is considered the cause of detachment. If one understands the glory, then he is freed from the five sensual pleasures of the world, and detachment comes to him. But Maharaj did not take detachment. Greatness is its substitute, the form of detachment. Knowledge and detachment lead to the state of having all desires fulfilled. Even if there is only detachment, it does not come. If there is no detachment, it does not come either. Let this not be. So, if one has self-realization but no detachment, it does not come. So, to fulfill that, Maharaj has taken glory. Today, when I was performing puja in the morning, I had a thought. I was remembering the chain of Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn. A follower of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → So, the other chains of divine deeds are with Harilamrut, which are also called chains of divine deeds. But the peace that is found in Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn. A follower of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn. A follower of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → Otherwise, in Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn.

Tap to open in glossary → So, like this. But what is written, that brings a lot of peace. It is said that if one contemplates on it for a long time, on Harilamrut, and contemplates on it in parallel, then a person experiences that there is a difference between this and that. That happens because Nishkulanand Swami Nishkulanand Swami Disciple of Sahajanand Swami (Swaminarayan Bhagwan) and author of the Bhaktachintamani, as stated in the scripture's own closing colophon at the end of every chapter. Tap to open in glossary → Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn. A follower of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → Detachment comes to him. So, if one performs devotion by disconnecting from sensual pleasures, then the state of having all desires fulfilled comes. By disconnecting from sensual pleasures. And the influence of the person remains in it, doesn't it? The influence of the person remains in it. In the same way, when we contemplate on Maharaj's Vachanamrut, and the connection is with Maharaj, then the influence of its author remains on the scripture. The influence of the author remains on the work. When Maharaj installs a deity, it's not just the divinity of the deity, but the divinity of the installer also merges into it. The deities that Maharaj has consecrated, like Gopalnand Swami consecrated Hanumanji in Sarangpur, and such great saints who installed deities, their divinity comes into it. It's not just the divinity of the idol, but also the inherent divinity. Similarly, in scriptures, there is the divinity of the author. Who are its authors? And based on that, one attains peace. In Vachanamrut, otherwise Vachanamrut is not divine deeds. And yet, there is peace. If we recite the chain of Vachanamrut many times and contemplate in our mind, still we attain peace. Whose divinity is that? It is the divinity of Maharaj and the author. Then I thought that there is Gita. It was spoken by Lord Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → And we sometimes contemplate on the Gita, we just remember the chapter, that this chapter is about this, so a little summary comes, we do the story twice, don't we? The same thing, then I remembered that there is Brahmasutra. I recited it once or twice, didn't I? So, we feel different things. The feeling one gets by remembering Vachanamrut, the feeling one gets by remembering Gita. The feeling one gets by remembering Brahmasutra, all three are of the path of knowledge and can be called like a story. But still, there is a feeling in it, so it has divinity. That divinity is different. In the same way, if we make a chain of Maharaj's Bhakta Bhakta Devotee of Bhagvãn. A follower of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → Then its divinity becomes different. So, the author, from him comes its divinity. Here, Maharaj said that in the state of having all desires fulfilled, there is self-realization and the knowledge of God's greatness. In those two, where is it said that Is it interdependent or Interdependent means So, is self-realization more important, or are both equally important, or is greatness? He said both, both. So, self-realization is such a thing that, for example, it is common. If you want to build a palace but there is no land, you cannot build a palace in the sky. The palace is useful for living. Land is not useful. But if you want to build a palace, you cannot build a palace in the air. So, let there be glory. But if there is no self-realization, then there is no foundation. That is not achieved. So, he said both. But still, glory is more important. The importance of glory is more because If we think about it, Maharaj has not said it in this, but Think about the similarities and differences, and compare it with other means. Then if there is only self-realization, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. If there is only self-realization, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. Because if there is no dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → True fulfillment of desires comes when there is greatness along with greatness and self-realization. If there is no self-realization, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. So why did we talk about detachment? That there is dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → And he attains the state of having all desires fulfilled. But if there is only detachment, the state of having all desires fulfilled does not come. And if there is no detachment, it does not come either. If there is only detachment, it suppresses sensual pleasures. But the experience of the ultimate reality is beyond its capacity. Self-realization brings the experience of the ultimate reality. But it only brings the experience of the ultimate reality of one's own self. It cannot bring the experience of the ultimate reality of God. Without greatness. So, it stops there. So, greatness is a super thing. And without the support of self-realization, there is no place. Where did we come across that just now? In that 19th Vachanamrut In the 19th, not for the sake of the son, the son is dear. For the sake of the self For the sake of the self, the son is dear. The self is the seed of spirituality. And that self, which is distinct from the body, is the foundation for walking on the spiritual path. If that is not there, no one can walk on the spiritual path. One can walk on the path of development. How is the development of this world? Everyone's support and everyone's development, like that. He can develop. That's why two things are mentioned. Shreya and Preya. What is Shreya and Preya? The development of this world and the development of the other world. Preya means development, but of this world. We give some name to the festival, don't we? Abhi Abhyudaya. Abhyudaya. We call it Abhyudaya Utsav. So what is Abhyudaya? In this world, in this world. And if it is of the other world, then it is called Abhyudaya of the other world, but it is said that this world is more, so Abhyudaya means this world. Shreya and Preya. So Preya means this world. And Shreya means self-welfare. Self-welfare. So, both. Development can only be. Self-welfare cannot be. Many times, they talk about individual development, don't they? If one has learned everything well, management, then it is called individual development. It is not called individual welfare. So, self-realization is that I am something different from the body. Without it, no spiritual step can be taken, it cannot exist. So, self-realization has to be included. Even within glory. The self, God, is dear, so for the sake of the self, he is dear. It is not that God is God, so he is dear. For the sake of the self, he is dear. Because he has a relationship with the self, the self wants something from him, so God seems dear. In the Upanishads, sometimes it clearly states. Don't ask about it.
