daivī sampad vimokṣāya nibandhāyāsurī matā mā śucaḥ sampadaṁ daivīm abhijāto'si pāṇḍava Sometimes, even after acquiring the qualities of divine wealth, a person becomes arrogant. Then, demoniac wealth resides in that ego. As long as one does not give up body-consciousness, true divine wealth is not attained. And because of body-consciousness, one also feels tired in acquiring that divine wealth. Because fatigue is a feeling of the body. It is a nature in body-consciousness, so when one renounces the body-consciousness, the demoniac wealth will be removed and divine wealth will naturally begin to manifest in them. One special thing is that the qualities of divine wealth are naturally inherent to the jiva. No one can completely renounce them. So how does one realize this? Just as if someone decides, "I will only speak the truth," they can speak the truth for their whole life. But if someone decides, "I vow to speak only lies for my whole life," they cannot speak lies twenty-four hours a day. A vow to speak the truth... ...can bring suffering to the one who takes it, but they are not bound to speak lies. If one thinks of speaking lies, then eating, drinking, sleeping, sitting, walking, speaking, etc., will become difficult for them. If one is hungry and... It is body-consciousness. The maintenance of the body does not function on falsehood. The maintenance of worldly affairs does not function on falsehood. If we say, "I will speak lies, I will only speak lies," and make a vow, and then say, "I will eat." Then would they not have to eat? They cannot go to eat. Therefore, the maintenance of the body, the livelihood of the body, runs on truthful conduct. It does not run on falsehood. Therefore, acquiring divine wealth is easy for a person. And acquiring demoniac wealth, maintaining demoniac wealth forever 100%, is not possible. So, that means that divine wealth is natural to the jiva. And God Himself said, "mamaivāṁśo jīvaloke." Natural divine nature. So, if one tries to acquire it... ...then body-consciousness and all those flaws from eternity, which belong to demoniac wealth, will go away. And this will come quickly. One does not have to practice divine wealth as much as one has practiced flaws. From thousands of births—one cannot even say thousands, Maharaj said infinite births. The flaws practiced over infinite births can go away in half a lifetime in this very birth. And divine wealth comes. Because it is natural to the jiva, and the other is not natural. That is the only difference. One who takes a vow to speak the truth may face suffering, but they are not bound to speak lies. If one thinks of speaking lies, then eating, drinking, sleeping, sitting, speaking, walking, etc., will become difficult for them. If one is hungry and says, "I will eat, I am hungry," but then says, "I am not hungry," then eating becomes difficult. If one makes such a vow in their mind, "I will die by speaking lies, but still I will only speak lies," then that will become a vow of truth. It will not remain a vow of falsehood. Therefore, either if they break the vow, truth will come, or the vow itself will become true. Truth can never be abandoned. Because truth and other qualities of divine wealth are natural. Whereas untruth can be completely abandoned. God has made life such that He has given the capacity to maintain truth completely. Whereas the capacity to maintain untruth completely does not exist in life at all. Truth can be maintained 100%. That is the natural order of life. Untruth cannot be maintained 100%. In any case, those who speak untruth, even the leaders of untruth, cannot maintain it 100%. Demoniac wealth is incidental. Flaws and misconduct are completely incidental. If a person remains happy, people do not say, "Why do you remain happy?" But when a person remains unhappy, they ask, "Why do you remain unhappy?" Because happiness is natural, and suffering is unnatural and incidental. Therefore, no one says to those who practice righteous conduct, "Why do you practice good conduct?" But regarding those with bad conduct, everyone wonders, "Why do they practice bad conduct?" In Arjuna, divine wealth was natural. When cowardice came upon him, God asked with surprise, "Where did this cowardice come from in you?" The implication is that this flaw in Arjuna is not natural but incidental. Even during the war, Arjuna repeatedly asks God about his own liberation. Therefore, it appears that divine wealth was already present in Arjuna. Otherwise, rejecting even an apsara like Urvashi is not within the capacity of an ordinary person. Here, he doubts himself, "Do I belong to divine wealth, or could demoniac wealth be in me?" Then God reassures him, saying, "Do not grieve. You are certainly born to divine wealth. mā śucaḥ sampadaṁ daivīm abhijāto'si pāṇḍava." The notion of 'I' arises from consciousness. Ego arises from inert matter. Both combine in identification to function. When it moves towards the Supreme Soul, the element of truth predominates in it. That is, the notion of 'I' that objectifies the pure self-element predominates. And when it moves towards the world, the inert and untruth elements predominate in it. That is, ego predominates. When the element of truth predominates, one becomes eligible for divine wealth, and when the element of untruth predominates, one becomes ineligible for divine wealth, that is, eligible for demoniac wealth. The human body is received to remove the untruth element and demoniac wealth. In removing it, human is completely independent. God has given them independence. All desires for objects of enjoyment remain attached only to the ego, which is the untruth element. That is, they arise from it. Therefore, suffering also falls upon its head. In Maharaj's view, all of that is attached from bad company. Bad company is a characteristic of demoniac wealth. Bad company, meaning developing affection for bad company, is a characteristic of demoniac wealth. And developing affection for 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.

The human body is received to remove the untruth element and demoniac wealth. In removing it, human is completely independent. God has given them independence. All desires for objects of enjoyment remain attached only to the ego, which is the untruth element. That is, they arise from it. Therefore, suffering also falls upon its head. It falls upon the head of pure consciousness. Because it has identified itself with the inert ego. Just as after marriage, whatever is the need of the wife, the husband considers it as his own need. The husband buys jewelry, etc., he buys it for the wife. He does not need it for himself, yet in worldly life, he considers it his need and buys it. Because he has identified with her. Similarly, by identifying with the inert, all desires for enjoyment arise. Therefore, when desires, inert objects, or worldly enjoyments predominate, demoniac wealth enters a person's heart, thoughts, and conduct. When consciousness predominates in desires, that is, when desires like "I want to attain Supreme Lord Shreeji Maharaj, I want to please Him, I want to go to Akshardham," etc., arise, then divine wealth enters them.
