Then Shriji Maharaj asked a question, "Which spiritual practice is difficult among all spiritual practices?" Then all the brahmacharis, sadhus, and householders answered according to their understanding, but it was not satisfactory. Then Shriji Maharaj said, "Listen, we will answer." To keep the mind constantly focused on the form of God, there is no difficult spiritual practice.

Maharaj has not said this, but its meaning is that he immediately sees the form of God. Parvatbhai resolved that 24 incarnations are mentioned. Not only does he see the abodes like Goloka, but if he thinks about what the 24 incarnations, like the Narasimha avatar, would be like, all the avatars immediately appeared before him. He said, "Have darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

Maharaj and Ramanujacharya's Ubhaya Vedanta is mentioned, isn't it? What is the meaning of Ubhaya Vedanta? What is the meaning of Ubhaya Vedanta? Really, I don't know. The meaning of Ubhaya Vedanta is that God has both types of qualities. The eight qualities are: freedom from sin, old age, death, sorrow, hunger, thirst, truthfulness, and resolve. So, there are two divisions in these qualities. One is the opposition to evil and the other is auspiciousness. Truthful resolve and truthful desire are auspicious qualities. And freedom from sin, old age, and death is the opposition to evil. So, God possesses both qualities. Shankaracharya believes that all qualities are to be rejected, so he discards them all. According to him, the opposition to evil remains, but auspiciousness does not. He has forbidden all of that only for the sake of opposing evil, hasn't he? But auspiciousness does not remain, so it is not called Ubhaya Vedanta. Secondly, Ramanujacharya propounded that karma karma Action. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards.
