When liberating a soul or taking it to His abode, if God were to count the virtues, vices, or sins of the soul, then no one would be worthy of attaining it. Because, sooner or later, he must have committed offenses and sins against God; that is why he is wandering in this world. Then God's name, 'Patit Pavan' (purifier of the fallen) or 'Adham Uddharan' (savior of the lowly), would not be meaningful. And the soul's own karmas from time immemorial are so numerous that it would have to despair. This soul, if it is a very good swimmer, What happens to him? He enjoys swimming in very deep water. He doesn't enjoy going into shallow water. If he's a good swimmer, he'll jump from a height into deep water. And he swims well in it. God is there, He said that, that He challenged Kamdev. And from the front, He gave all His materials, saying, "Now defeat me." Like that, According to the scriptures, it seems that God enjoys liberating those who are very much like this. How? Whose liberation is enjoyable? His own Of a very sinful person. His own ego. He considers himself very humble, ego-less. It is enjoyable to liberate such a person. Even if he is a sinner, God enjoys liberating one who is distressed and free from ego. And God makes His title meaningful. Then, if that distressed, ego-less person is lowly, He liberates him. Then God enjoys it even more. In that, it is said that God did not have to exert Himself, right? If someone is completely pure and He liberates them, then it is said that God did not have to exert Himself. God believes in putting in a little effort. And the soul's own karmas from time immemorial are so numerous that it would have to despair. This soul experiences a stream of thoughts every moment. Stopping those thoughts is beyond the capacity of the soul. Therefore, by mind, action, and speech, somewhere or other, he becomes a thief of God, the indweller. Either he enjoys sensual pleasures in his mind. Searching for a soul with a pure inner self, free from all three types of faults, yields no results. And if someone is good in the present, they might have enjoyed something in the past. Therefore, examining his accumulated karmas and samskaras, as well as his current actions, no embodied being in creation can be pure. Then how can God be pleased? Therefore, in this way, no one's salvation is possible. No flawless soul will be found. Then, when God comes to earth to liberate souls, whose liberation will He perform? No such flawless being is possible. Then, God's incarnation as a human on earth would become meaningless. And the chanting of His name, which is considered to remove fear, will not remain. But the scriptures show that God, by taking a human form on earth, liberates many souls. When He takes them to His abode, the statement will not hold true, it will not be correct. Then, if we believe such things, we will develop an atheistic attitude towards God and His benevolent deeds and titles. And we will have to give up the hope of crossing the ocean of existence, but that is not the case. God says that only the desireless Only a desireless soul goes to God's abode. So how to reconcile both of these? Maharaj said in this, Swami said that whoever Is humble and distressed, God takes them. That's the meaning, isn't it? God makes them desireless afterwards. It's not that all those who are desireless go to the abode. Those who are dependent on God go to God's abode. Then God, how many desireless souls will there be in the world? Yogis in the Himalayas, they all perform spiritual practices. So they go to Akshardham. If they follow dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Many have better detachment than us. Their knowledge and detachment are much better than ours. So they go to Akshardham. Those who are dependent on Maharaj, Then he doesn't have to strive to become desireless, right? Why? There is no condition of being desireless to be taken to the abode; there is only the condition of being a devotee. There is a condition of being a devotee, then God washes him and makes him pure. He doesn't let him remain as he is. If you buy something from the market, do you keep it as it is? You fix it by cutting and trimming it. And then use it. So God does that. God does that. We have to do it as long as we are here, then God will make it right. By taking him there. But as long as we are here, we have to do it. If we don't do it while we are here, it is considered our fault. Then we would be considered to have deceived God, but God does not deceive anyone. God knows that This one has many faults. And this one is distressed. And he prays to me a lot. Then God takes him. After taking him, He removes the rottenness and corruption. So God does that. It's not that He takes a desireless, dirty, and smelly person to God's abode. But then God Himself performs that procedure. So God says that purity. Does He do it immediately or later? Does He keep him in Badrikashram or purify him directly? What did you say? If there is any impurity, God says He removes it immediately, or does He make him take another birth? He removes it according to His method. Maharaj has given examples, hasn't He, that He sends them to Badrikashram and also to other places, in that manner. And if he gets burnt from within here, then he will do it here too. There is no need to take him there. The soul acts according to its comfort and distress. If he thinks in his mind that he is very good, then God knows that he will not be purified here because he has settled down well, so it will not happen. If everything is well arranged, then he thinks that everything is good for us. Then he has to be taken somewhere else. And if he has become like that here and cries out in distress, then God fulfills it here too. Maharaj said that even if there is half a ghadi ghadi Duration of time equalling approximately twenty-four minutes. Tap to open in glossary → ghadi ghadi Duration of time equalling approximately twenty-four minutes. Tap to open in glossary → From within, such a cry of distress should arise, meaning that a cry of distress arises in him, and then he becomes free from ego. Then God will do the work here too. He does the devotee's work. If he has taken refuge in Him, then it is so. Otherwise, it won't happen. Otherwise, it won't happen by his own efforts. That's what the Haribol Gita says. That's the meaning. Jai Swaminarayan This is Swami Swami This saint asked the saints, Yes, Swami. Maharaj comes to teach. Yes, so the mind says that we placed one sister on top of Mount Meru. Yes, just as he turned the devotee back. Yes, so when he comes to teach, if we are not qualified, he puts us in Badrikashram, in Vishwadeep. Yes, devotion becomes desireless, then it goes. Yes, so you have asked a question about many sins once. Suppose we finally had 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. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2]. Tap to open in glossary → Yes, correct. We, as sinners, have committed many sins in this very birth, so we are full of desires, not desireless. Yes, and by his grace, they came. Correct. So by his grace, Our sins are destroyed or not, and by his power, our desires become desireless or not. By his grace, it happens, but if a cry of distress arises in him and he becomes free from ego, Then Maharaj said that even if there is half a ghadi ghadi Duration of time equalling approximately twenty-four minutes. Tap to open in glossary → ghadi ghadi Duration of time equalling approximately twenty-four minutes. Tap to open in glossary → So he goes to God's abode, Akshardham. If he becomes desireless, then he goes. If he becomes desireless and it bothers him in his mind, that this desire has troubled him a lot and it bothers him a lot, just as sorrow bothers us and pain pricks us. If there is pain in the nail, or pain in the eye, or pain in the vital point, then Maharaj said that he would be writhing in agony. And he finds no peace anywhere. Such is the qualification that God has set for Akshardham. If there is any flaw in it, and it bothers us like a deep pain, and we cannot get rid of it. And we become distressed and pray to God, and pray with humility, Then Maharaj said that God can do it even with just a thought. If God makes such a resolve, then his desires are destroyed. Maharaj says that by spiritual practice, desires are destroyed over time. Maharaj has said in the Vachanamrut that great saints do this. That this poor fellow is devoid of detachment, so let him attain detachment. Then Maharaj says it happens immediately, by His mere resolve. It was mentioned in the Brahmasutra that by resolve, or rather, in the Muktakalap, it was mentioned. That God only has to make a resolve. He doesn't have to do any other work after that. But we become desireless. But if we do it with such a feeling before dying, then Before dying. Then God does not make a resolve. In all those stories, it is said that before death, God becomes our lawyer and argues our case. And when the last breath is taken and the lock is given, then the judgment happens. So he makes a judgment that, well, now this one will have to be treated according to this. So then God does not make a resolve. If he becomes humble now and it bothers him in his mind, then he becomes humble. If we are in a lot of pain, how much will we plead with the doctor? And Maharaj also wrote in Shri Vasudev that it came like this, 'Yadvat kshudhatur janasya vihaya manam'. Dainyam bhaje yuri hasat sutatheva tathacharantam. So it came like this, if he has truly awakened to the pain of the vital point, then he would be writhing in agony. And he is ready to fall at the doctor's feet, as he says. Similarly, if our desires bother us, or if our flaws bother us, before our last breath. Then God will do the work in the last moments. God only has to make a resolve that this one's desires should be released. In the Vachanamrut, it is written in one place that when one is meditating, and then he hears something with affection for some object. Yes, then God looks at him, and after death, he is placed where such enjoyments are. So, that means that the five senses don't bother him, but he remains attached to them, so he is a devotee of God, and God's mercy is such that He gives it to us. But before dying, by doing 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.

Tap to open in glossary → ghadi ghadi Duration of time equalling approximately twenty-four minutes. Tap to open in glossary → To God, that Now I don't want to go to any realm. Nature, Purusha, and everything else is perishable. Yes, and God, if I have committed any sins, mistakes, or thoughts, please forgive me. Keep me at your feet, Maharaj, where Swami Gopalanand Swami is, free from all qualities. If he does that, then whatever desires and thoughts we have not enjoyed will be forgiven. He should feel that from within. Swami often used to say that this cold, if someone gets a fever with chills, then he shivers with cold. But if someone acts, he cannot shiver properly. So if it's real and it's as you say, then Maharaj will do that.
