To think of oneself as worthy of worship or superior to others is pride and ego. It should not be in the heart of a seeker. The seeker's objective should be to fully awaken all the virtues and good conduct of divine wealth. Lord Ramachandra was extremely humble, highly polite, and very modest. But 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.

That is why Maharaj said where to keep pride and where not to. In the Ramayana, it is not mentioned where not to keep it and where to keep it. Keep it everywhere. Do not keep that pride, but keep modesty everywhere. God showed through His own life to be modest everywhere. But in today's times, if we do that, while that Ramayana lasted for 14 years, today it wouldn't even reach that far; the Ramayana would end in just one chapter. If we try to do that now. To think of oneself as worthy of worship or superior to others is pride and ego. It should not be in the heart of a seeker. All the virtues and good conduct of divine wealth, the seeker's objective should be to fully awaken them. "Bhavanti sampadam daivim abhijatasya bharata." O Arjuna, these are the characteristics of humans who have attained divine wealth. The meaning of divine wealth seems to be the glory of deities, but that meaning does not fit here. Therefore, wealth related to God, the Ishtadev, is considered divine wealth here. These are the virtues to please God, to please the Ishtadev. Ishtadev, these are all basic values. Of spirituality. We call them values, right? These are indeed values. If we set values aside and then perform a lot of other Navdha bhakti bhakti Devotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti: Tap to open in glossary → "Bhavanti sampadam daivim abhijatasya bharata." O Arjuna, these are the characteristics of humans who have attained divine wealth. The meaning of divine wealth seems to be the glory of deities, In this, it is beautifully said that "abhijatasya" means of noble birth. "Bhavanti sampadam daivim abhijatasya bharata." So, "abhijata" means of noble birth. A divine soul born in a noble family, this is his wealth. So, many times now, it becomes very difficult to calculate who is of noble birth. But still, if there are good family samskaras, it does make a difference, as God has said in this. "Abhijatasya." The family's samskaras are visible. Even if one becomes a sadhu, they are visible. Even if one becomes a sadhu, they are visible. Then, of course, they are visible in others, what of it. The meaning of divine wealth seems to be the glory of deities, but that meaning does not fit here. Therefore, wealth related to God, the Ishtadev, If there are family samskaras and family traditions, then good virtues are naturally in one's blood. And if one's family samskaras are not proper, then it doesn't take long for them to go astray. See, they go astray. So, it is said like that. Sometimes in our ancient histories, we also see that even if there are divine virtues, therefore, wealth related to God, the Ishtadev, is considered divine here. Therefore, one whose nature is to act according to God's commands, such a nature is called "Vishnubhaktihi paro devaha." That is why Maharaj said in the Vachanamrut that a divine soul always remains facing God. And a demonic soul always remains turned away from God. What does that mean? That a divine soul may face adversities, specifically adversities in going towards God, not other kinds. If they walk towards God, adversity comes. Still, they go. And even if the other has favorable conditions to go towards God, they still won't go. Everything would be working out on the path to God. So, Maharaj said that a divine soul always remains facing God on His path. They face Him till the very end. No matter how many difficulties arise. And no matter how many facilities you give to a demonic soul, they will always remain contrary, turned away from God. Therefore, one whose nature is to act according to God's commands, such a nature is called "Vishnubhaktihi paro devaha." Maharaj came to Meghpur and Mulji Bhagat died. And just then, Mawa Bhagat had arrived. Mawa Bhagat. Mawa Bhagat of Thana Galol near Jetalpur had come to Maharaj. So, all that clash happened with the Kathi Darbars, Maharaj fled, this happened. Then the other Darbars said, "Maharaj, this new devotee who has come, his foundation will break. He won't have faith in you now." Maharaj said, "He won't have a problem. He won't have a problem, he has seen many such clashes in his past births. And he is divine. So, he won't have a problem." And the other one wouldn't remain stable even if you bandaged him. If there is no proper divine feeling, even if you keep bandaging him, nothing works out. If you bandage this side, it hurts on that side, and if you bandage that side, it hurts on this side, that's how it goes. And a divine soul, even if he walks into a battlefield, he remains straight towards God. He doesn't turn away. He doesn't turn away from God, that is the divine feeling. And not remaining straight towards God, that... Suppose elders insult a person, Shastriji Maharaj's nature was very strict. So, sometimes he wouldn't spare anyone. If a mistake was made, he would scold severely. Now, at home, no one scolds. And there at home, everyone respects him. His wife treats him with great care. So, why doesn't anything happen there? And if these gurus say something, he gets upset. So, it means divine feeling and demonic feeling. Divine feeling and demonic feeling, what else. Even if they scold, nothing happens there. Many of his family members, in families it is like that, once I... when I was in Junagadh, there was a devotee, I shouldn't take his name, he was a very good devotee, he is still a devotee. But his wife was contrary. So contrary, and they had one son. Then there would be a competition between the two as to who pleases the son more. So, whichever side the son goes to, that side gets the majority. So, poor... he was a simple devotee, he would come there. So, if there was any problem, his other friends would go there and resolve it. Like, brother, let it be now, they must be resolving it saying since you are married, run it this way. So, whatever they did, they resolved it. Again it would run well for 15 days, again they would resolve it, again it would spoil, again they would resolve it. So, he dragged it till the very end. Now he has grown old, he has retired. Otherwise, in today's times, one wouldn't even drag it, they would say, "Go, you stay away and we are separated." But he dragged it till the very end. And now his son probably has children at home. So, if it is like this, a person tolerates it there. But that cannot be called a divine feeling. That is called a worldly feeling. Since it is everyone's need, he tolerates it. But what if one has come to God's home and such a thing happens? What if someone acts contrary towards us? Now, his wife always acts contrary towards him, see. His wife always acts contrary towards him. Whatever he does, she... she lives on his salary. This salary, he was a high-salaried person. He was a Class One officer. And she lives on his salary and still acts contrary. And still, she takes the son in her favor, isolates him, and tries to suppress him. And still, he spent his whole life like that, see. If we had to spend our life like that, we wouldn't even last a month. How can I live here, like that. How to pass the days. We wouldn't even last a month. And he spent his whole life. Moreover, the devotee must be patient. So, always happy, yes, the heart must be big. Yes, the heart is big, he must be patient. What if such a thing happens to us in 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.
