Such sadhus, even if they hit with shoes, take one to Akshardham. And others, even if they make one sleep on a velvet mattress, understand that they throw one into hell. Now, no one hits with shoes, but insults happen. Even then, they insult in a way that takes one to Akshardham. And making one sleep on a velvet mattress means praising. Does a velvet mattress feel good or do praises feel good? What causes tickles? Does it happen from a velvet mattress or from praise? Someone says it happens from praise. So Swami says that others, even if they make one sleep on a velvet mattress and praise, still take one to hell. And if they are true sadhus of Bhagwan, even if they perhaps insult, they take one to Bhagwan's Akshardham. It comes in Swami's talks, doesn't it, that Shivalalbhai came late to the katha. So Gunatitanand Swami asked, "Where had you gone?" After he said that, he said, "When I look at your jiva, half of your satsang satsang 1) True company.

So, making one sleep on a velvet mattress is fine, but praising. They only do what we like, but take us to hell; if they do what we don't like, they still take us to Akshardham. Swami said that Maharaj has removed our flaws. The day we took refuge in Bhagwan, from that day, Bhagwan has booked us. To go to Akshardham. And the 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.

And whether they are computer engineers or doctors. Before they become doctors, they are taken for practice somewhere for about six months, what is that called? They make them do an internship. They make them do an internship, then they join them in their company. They don't join them directly in the company. Everything would have been decided: their placement would be decided, salary would be decided, date would be decided that you have to report on this date, from this date your salary is this much. But before that, for six months or a year, if it's a big company, sometimes they make them do it for a year. They have to go to their university and take training. In their own university, they have a special course, and they have to go there and practice. Why? So that they can do the company's work properly here. Similarly, Maharaj Swami says that Maharaj has removed our flaws. Ever since we took refuge in Bhagwan and Bhagwan cast His gaze, deciding that this jiva is now Mine, Maharaj has decided that this one is to be taken to Akshardham. But still, why do all these things happen? They happen to make one do an internship. They happen to give proper training after the internship. So Swami says that the darshan darshan Seeing.

Tap to open in glossary → How garju do we remain? And if there is some incompleteness, one can remain garju. If there is no incompleteness, it is human nature that one does not remain garju. It makes Bhagwan and great sadhus garju. If we have some qualities, on the contrary, it makes them garju. Then that quality did not serve its purpose for kalyan. Some make them garju, and sometimes they even make Maharaj garju. So it did not serve its purpose for kalyan. Kalyan depends on how much garaj we have for it? And our kalyan happens based on how garju we remain in satsang satsang 1) True company.

If we get pushed sometimes, we might fall out. We have not decided such a garaj in our minds like Sachchidanand Swami. And if we haven't decided, and we get a sudden push, as we said, if someone insults us, hits us with shoes, and we get a sudden push, we might go somewhere else. If there is no garaj. But if one has decided the garaj, that we should maintain garaj up to this extent. Just as Sachchidanand Swami had decided that we should maintain garaj up to this extent.
