So, Maharaj's principle is that the knowledge of Maharaj's mahima is superior to having love. Maharaj says if one is attached to God by knowing His mahima, then one will not fall from God. 6. Once one knows the mahima of God, and is attached to God through it, then one will not fall from God. And one who has love has a slight possibility of encountering obstacles. 7. Maharaj said that the queens of God had performed austerities for many births. They performed austerities superior to Brahma. Brahmaji became pleased and said, 'Ask for a boon.' 8. So they said, 'Our husband should be God.' Now, wandering in this cycle of births, we have experienced everyone as a husband. But we have not experienced Narayana 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 → 9. Brahma said, 'Alright, your husband will be God. You perform austerities, perform a little more austerity.' Then Narada Rishi became pleased with them. 10. Other rishis became pleased with them. And in another birth, they attained God. But still, Maharaj says, when they saw the form of Sambha, their minds wavered. 11. They became deluded. 'Is this 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 → 12. Everyone's beliefs are different. Many acharyas consider becoming attached to God through love as the principle. Maharaj says, as long as there are indriyas indriyas A sense, through which a person can ‘know’ and ‘perform actions’. There are ten indriyas in total - the five gnãn- indriyas (cognitive senses) and the five karma-indriyas (conative senses), with the mind often taken to be the eleventh indriya. They engage themselves in their respective vishays and have the complete knowledge of that vishay. The sense organs are not to be confused with the indriyas (the senses). The sense organs are part of the physical body, whereas the indriyas (senses) are distinct from the physical body. five gnãn-indriyas: hearing (ears/shrotra), touch (skin/tvak), sight (eyes/chakshu), taste (tongue/rasnã) and smell (grahn) five karma-indriyas: speech (voice/vãk), handling (hands/pãni), walking (feet/pãd), excretion (anus/pãyu) and procreation (genitals/upastha) Tap to open in glossary → indriyas indriyas A sense, through which a person can ‘know’ and ‘perform actions’.

The path of love is predominantly indriya-based, and the path of jnana, 'Nijatmanam Brahmarupam Dehatraya Vilakshanam,' is predominant in it. So, even if it doesn't appear very dazzling, it is permanent. This is Maharaj's principle. 15. This is Maharaj's principle. And what other acharyas have said is not insignificant. It is not less. To have love for God happens due to the merits of infinite births. 16. So Maharaj said, if there is love like that of the gopis, then no obstacles come to them. But otherwise, obstacles can come. So Maharaj's principle is that one might become attached to the 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. Tap to open in glossary → 17. Even if one becomes attached, how can some things be clearly understood? So, if the mahima of God is understood, then there is no problem. Therefore, understanding is superior to everything. 18. Then whether the nadi is pulled or not. Then whether one attains samadhi or not. Muktanand Swami Maharaj said that we never make Muktanand Swami and Gopalanand Swami attain samadhi. 19. And through their words, others attain samadhi, but they never perform samadhi. Because whether the nadi is pulled or not. Once the true recognition of God happens, then whether their nadi is pulled or not. 20. There is not much specialty in the nadi being pulled. The nadi might be pulled, and yet one might still be drawn to the world. And if the nadi of the other is not pulled, they are still not drawn to the world. 21. King Janak's nadi was not pulled. He was not in samadhi. And Muktanand Swami had mastered Ashtanga Yoga. 22. But still, Maharaj never let him go into samadhi. He changed the very definition. He changed the definition of samadhi. 23. So Maharaj did not do that to him. That is, there is not much meaning in the nadi being pulled. Sometimes, even if there is Akshardham samadhi, one still comes back here and faces difficulties. 24. So, Maharaj has given a very different definition than that. Maharaj asks, who is called a Jitendriya 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.

There is no other way. So, the jnanis were called Jitendriya, and all those common people were called Ajitendriya, so what is the definition of Jitendriya? So Maharaj says, Jitendriya are those purushas who have truly known the faults of the five vishayas and the virtues of God. 27. And those faults have permeated their jiva so much that they are not ready to accept them in any state. Maharaj says, if there is milk in a vessel and a fly has put its mouth in it, and we know it, 28. then if someone wakes us from sleep and says, 'Hey, drink this,' while we are rubbing our eyes, we won't drink it. Our eyes will open immediately. 'Oh, that's the one.' 29. So, it doesn't remain there, even from sleep. Even in sleep, that aversion has permeated through their sleep. In the same way, Maharaj says, those whose jiva has been permeated by the aversion to the faults of the five vishayas of the indriyas indriyas A sense, through which a person can ‘know’ and ‘perform actions’. There are ten indriyas in total - the five gnãn- indriyas (cognitive senses) and the five karma-indriyas (conative senses), with the mind often taken to be the eleventh indriya.

When is the world conquered? World means the five vishayas. When are the five vishayas said to be conquered? 33.
