In this way, Shriji Maharaj, after saying this much, then said, "Now, let us ask a question." Then the muni muni Sãdhu. Tap to open in glossary → Then Shriji Maharaj said, "In the Udyog Parva of the Mahabharata, Sanat Sujan Rishi said to Dhritarashtra, One is प्रमाद (negligence) and the other is मोह (infatuation)." Is it Sanat Sujan or Sujat? Sujat. In the Udyog Parva of the Mahabharata, Sanat Sujat Rishi said to Dhritarashtra, One is negligence and the other is infatuation. One who renounces both of these crosses God's maya in all respects. And negligence and infatuation, that is the name of maya. Therefore, we are called renunciant devotees of God, and among them, those who have negligence and infatuation, and taking the strength of God's glory, that devotee has removed negligence and infatuation. It is said, "I enter death through negligence." Negligence is death. One who falls from the path of liberation of God is as good as dead. So he fell from the path of liberation. What is negligence? What is negligence? Laziness. What is laziness? Huh? Laziness and negligence are both siblings. So what is laziness? Nothing. Therefore, we are called renunciant devotees of God, and among them, those who have negligence and infatuation, and taking the strength of God's glory, that devotee will not have the worry of removing negligence and infatuation. What kind of happiness will that devotee have while still in the body, and what kind of happiness will he attain after death? That is the question. Maharaj has asked such a good question. If one does not do what is supposed to be done, and does what is not supposed to be done, what kind of happiness would they experience? Huh? Why? He does something. He does something, so he should get some happiness, right? Huh? Does what he shouldn't do. So do you consider him a sadhu or not? So if he does what he shouldn't do, it doesn't mean that Kansa was doing what he shouldn't do. Kansa's activities, are they considered negligence or not? That is not considered negligence. That was beyond that. That was a demonic activity. If it's an activity of negligence, then he would be doing something close to what he's supposed to do. He wouldn't be doing the opposite of it. What? What needs to be done, he does something close to it. It's a deception. That this can work instead of that. Brass instead of gold. Both are yellow. So that's what negligence is called, right? So when it's time to do what needs to be done, What did Arjuna say to God? I will become a sannyasi. I will become a sadhu. If it were us, we would have said, "Then it's fine, you don't have to fight." If he becomes a sadhu, then what is the need to fight? But God did not say that, "Brother, Otherwise, if Arjuna became a sadhu, whose sadhu would he become? He would become a sadhu of 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. 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.

If he becomes a sadhu, all his debts are forgiven. If he becomes a sadhu, he doesn't have to repay ancestral debt, maternal debt, or divine debt; no one's debt remains on him. Even then, God said that it's not like that, you do something about this debt. He says, "You have a debt." What is considered good? This is called this. Jai Shri Maharaj.

If there is no single focus, then what is he going to do? Wandering around. He will keep wandering around.
