Every day, all my dependents must perform their duties in this manner, and also study Sanskrit and Prakrit scriptures according to their intellect. And all our dependent satsangis must perform their daily duties in the manner described previously. And they should also study good scriptures, both in Sanskrit and Prakrit, according to their own intellect. In this way, the daily duties described in verses 49 to 64 must be performed daily by all my dependents. Similarly, they should daily study theistic scriptures written in the divine language Sanskrit and Prakrit, i.e., the vernacular language, according to their respective intellects. Because the study of those scriptures is fundamental in imparting knowledge of the nature of dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world.

Tap to open in glossary → It is said in the Rajadharma of Mahabharata that as a person daily serves and studies the scriptures, he gains special knowledge. And after that, he develops an interest in that knowledge. It is also said in the Gita, therefore, in the arrangement of your duty and non-duty, the scripture alone is the authority. If one leaves the support of scriptures, thinking that once he has acquired very good knowledge. He has read the Gita, read the Ramanuja Bhashya, read Gopalanand Swami's bhashya, read Tatparya Chandrika, read everything. Even then, if we put it aside, everything is lost. Therefore, one should keep studying the good scriptures until his last breath. It is said in Satsangijivan that if one does not keep studying the good scriptures, dullness creeps into the intellect. Therefore, the study of good scriptures should be maintained till the end. If we leave the study, then we become rigid in some matters. Even if they are scholars. If they are scholars, they become subtly rigid, and others become grossly rigid. They become rigid. Should one repeatedly study the same scriptures or study new scriptures? What did Maharaj say? 'Sanskrit Prakrit Granth Abhyas Chapi Yathamati.' If it is within one's intellect, one should study new, advanced scriptures. And if the intellect does not reach, then one should recite the same. After all, how much of new, new, new can one do? And again, one should not have too much hope or desire for too many new things. It is said in the Shikshapatri itself, 'Bahun granthan abhyasyata.' It was said in the eleventh canto. One should not study too many scriptures. So what is the meaning of that? Does it mean not to listen to many scriptures of other different principles? In one and the same principle, one should go deeper and deeper until the last breath. Reading the Bible, reading the Quran, reading that one, such is 'Bahun granthan abhyasyata.' Then his intellect gets confused. If one listens to and studies the scriptures of atheists, his intellect is bound to get damaged. Therefore, do not do too much of it. One should study scriptures of one line. There is no objection to that. First, study Satsangijivan. Then study its commentary. Then study the commentary written by Shukanand Swami. If you want to study the Gita, study the original Gita. Study the Ramanuja Bhashya. Then study the Tatparya Chandrika. There is no problem with that. That is not called 'Bahun granthan'. So, studying it deeply is not called 'Bahun granthan'. One should study the scriptures of the principles of our sampraday. And study them deeply. And keep those scriptures with you until your last breath, to assimilate them in life. 'Shastram pramanam' is said in the Gita. God told Arjuna, 'I have piled all this before you. Now do as you think fit.' And why was it not said that a person is the authority to decide right or wrong? Otherwise, He would have said, 'Bring the authority of trustworthy persons.'

It does not change every moment. Once written, it remains the same. And great men, in their lives, also change a lot. One moment this bulletin is released, and another moment that bulletin is released, and now both are cancelled, and now follow this third bulletin. They release such things. Great men are not very stable. So, according to the market, great men release bulletins. If it is a winter market, they release a blanket bulletin. And if it is a monsoon market, they tell everyone to buy umbrellas. So great men are also like that. Therefore, 'Shastra pramanam'. Keeping the scripture in hand, place the great man man Mind.
