There are connections of the three Gunas, and they bind the world. Through Sattvaguna, one resides in Devloka, in Devloka. Through Rajoguna, one goes to Manushyaloka. Through Tamoguna, one attains downfall, downfall. Through connection with God, one attains the abode of God. What is the connection with God? It is Tadarthata. If one does something for God, then he attains the abode of God. That is called Tadarthata. We do things for sense pleasures, one does things for relatives, one does things for the world, but they do not do so for God. If one makes a clear determination, 'Whatever I am doing, I am doing it for God,' then God accepts it. And that becomes Nirguna. God does not let go. That Shabari was gathering berries. Everyone used to shoo her away a lot. She was a Bhil, right? The sages and everyone. And if there were others, some would say, 'Beat her and throw her out.' 'So she doesn't come again.' Until they beat her, she would come again, right? So when she went to gather berries, those people would take the berries from her. So she felt very sad. So she said, 'They snatch them away like this and don't let me gather berries.' Then Shabari, the Bhil woman, said, 'May the one with a thousand hands take them.' So they wouldn't fall into their hands. Not a single berry fell down. Not a single berry fell down. We call God the one with a thousand hands, right? He took them. What was the reason? She was gathering them only for Him, having decided, having determined. She was gathering them only for Him. So, if one does it for God with determination, if Tadarthata comes into it, then God accepts it. It will not fall into anyone's hands, no matter how many try. It goes only into God's hands. Maharaj was there, there is an episode in Bhaktachintamani, a Sangh a Sangh was coming from Madhya Pradesh and other places to have Maharaj's darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.

So many of them were coming with ornaments. Thinking, 'Ornaments for Maharaj, we will adorn Maharaj with them, and we will offer this to Maharaj, and we will offer that to Maharaj.' In that, this Sangh, those robbers came and started looting. So those who were at the back thought, 'Oh, they will loot all of mine now.' He had a ring, right? he took it and threw it into the hedge. A gold ring and some such small ornaments made for Maharaj, he threw them into the hedge. Just then, Maharaj arrived. So those thieves and robbers, He whipped them from all sides, gathered them, beat them thoroughly, and they said, 'Bapji, Bapji,' and He said, 'Return it to everyone, come on, whoever's things you looted.' They returned everything. But the one who had thrown it into the hedge regretted it a lot, 'Oh Maharaj!' 'What do we do now?' 'If we had known that you were going to come,' 'then we wouldn't have thrown it.' Maharaj said, 'We have taken it.' He took it and gave everything, saying, 'Look, is this your ring or another? Is this your ornament or another?' Thus, He returned it to everyone. Because it was decided in his mind, right? that, 'We are doing this for Maharaj.' So, if one does it for God with such determination, then God has a thousand hands. His connection is there; the lion's share cannot be taken by a jackal. That Rukminiji prayed to God, to 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.
