Then, he kindly spoke about the three aspects. Maharaj says, "From the day we started contemplating, it has come to our attention that the three aspects for the liberation of the soul are extremely beneficial. Without these three aspects, the liberation of the soul is not possible in any way." Maharaj says, "We, indeed, keep those These are emotional aspects, aren't they? Not active or logical. These three aspects. There is no action. It might be active, but the foundation of these aspects is emotional. And without emotion, ultimate liberation cannot be achieved. Until it is done with emotion, ultimate liberation is not possible. So Maharaj says that without these three, it does not happen. Bhakti Bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn.

And if a son is serving, he would not know how to do it like a nurse. But the emotion with which the son serves, the work he does, makes the father sit up. It heals him. A nurse does it as a routine. Therefore, emotion and action are different. The aspects Maharaj has mentioned are emotional aspects. The vow of fidelity and the vow of servitude, and the vow of worshiping God by becoming Brahmarup. Those are the three vows. And without emotion, a vow does not sustain. If there is no emotion, how can a vow sustain for a long time? Even if it remains as a routine, it becomes useless. Maharaj says, "We keep those three aspects firm." The vow of the ascetic garb, the vow of the ascetic garb was to observe the varnashrama. It is said somewhere that one should keep nine vows of the ascetic garb. Among those three aspects, the devotee who firmly possesses even one aspect becomes fulfilled. What are those three aspects? First is extreme Atmanishtha, worshiping God by becoming Atmarup like Shukdevji. Second is the aspect of fidelity, worshiping God with the feeling of a husband like the Gopis. Third is the aspect of servitude, worshiping with the feeling of a servant like Hanumanji and Uddhavji; these are the three aspects. There are two things in this. One is the perfected emotion and the other is the initial emotion. That is why Maharaj has called it a vow. Perfected emotion is not achieved instantly. But even spiritually weak people can take a vow. And if they maintain that vow, they eventually become perfected. And the emotion becomes perfected. Based on the vow, the emotion becomes perfected, but it happens if the vow is taken with emotion. There are three levels of worshiping Maharaj. One is worshiping God with the physical body. For example, sweeping the temple or doing some physical service in the temple. Similarly, doing physical service for God's devotees, chanting, singing kirtans, etc., are forms of bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma.

I do this business, I am related to him, I am this, I am that." That is called one's private identity. In that, if we believe, "Who am I?" "I am a servant of God," if this is deeply ingrained in one's soul, then it is the feeling of a servant. Maharaj called it the aspect of servitude. Servitude. Naturally. If one naturally believes so, it is called the aspect of servitude. If one naturally has the vow of fidelity, like "We should not have affection anywhere else other than Maharaj, God." If one has such a vow, then it is called the aspect of fidelity. And if one has the vow of worshiping with the feeling of being Brahmarup, it is called the highest state of Atmanishtha.

Not that ultimate liberation secret, laughing at death. It happens as long as one does this. And in all his examples in Swami's talks, a passion is seen, and that passion is to worship Maharaj by becoming Brahmarup. To worship Maharaj by becoming Aksharrup. He had such passion. Slowly, slowly, slowly, if one wants to grow a tree? It is as difficult as raising a child. Similarly, if one wants to grow this resolve, it is more important than a child. This can die even with a blow. A child does not die if someone blows on him. Even if he gets a fever, he survives. And this can die even with a blow. Therefore, to nourish and develop a good emotion is very difficult. And when one does it, it is called an aspect.
