To not desire anything other than that, Maharaj called that 'ananya bhav'. That is called 'ananya bhav'. Except for the manifest form of God, there is no room for anything else in his heart. This is the only room. That is called 'ananya bhav'. How does such an 'ananya bhav' towards God develop? That is what is called the means. One who has such a disposition towards God, in him, there is 'atmabuddhi' and serving according to His wishes, yet he develops such a disposition towards God. And then his devotion is never obstructed. It does not stop. Otherwise, it happens on the path. Then Shriji Maharaj said, "If a devotee of God has perfect faith in God, and is not disturbed by lust, anger, greed, etc., and is extremely detached, extremely dispassionate, and extremely self-realized," On one hand, extremely detached, extremely dispassionate, and extremely self-realized. And on the other hand, a weak-willed detached person, weak-willed dispassion, and weak-willed self-realization. Then those lust, anger, etc., would enter, wouldn't they? Otherwise, if it is weak-willed, how would it happen? But 'ananya bhav'. So who experiences more happiness? Who experiences it? So 'ananya bhav' alone surpasses the other. It goes above it. This is what is said about 'ananya bhav'. If there is one, it comes. There are many others. If they are good, then if Vishwamangal Swami is good and Dhyey Swami is good, and if I have 'ananya bhav' towards Vishwamangal Swami, then it would be an offense to the other, wouldn't it? Therefore, we should give to everyone. If they are good, we must give. So this is our calculation. If a devotee of God has perfect faith in God, and is not disturbed by lust, anger, greed, etc., and is extremely detached, extremely dispassionate, and extremely self-realized, Now, again, he is not without faith. It is said so. He does have faith. So having faith and having 'ananya bhav' are different things, based on this. And is it not so in faith? It is not so in the initial stage. It is the mature state of faith. Otherwise, faith alone does everything. But in the beginning, from the very first day, faith is not that firm. Faith itself means selection. And selection means nothing else. To make a selection, there is only one chance, and if we accept that chance, is it called selection or not? It is not. How can it be called selection? That is called acceptance, not selection. Selection means choosing from many; that is called selection. What is the meaning of selection? Choice. Choice means that if there are many options, and a choice is made from them, then it is a choice. Accepting is not a choice. Acceptance is your demand. It is the action-reaction of demand, that your demand is high and there is nothing else, so you accept whatever is available. Then Shriji Maharaj said, "If a devotee of God has perfect faith in God, and is not disturbed by lust, anger, greed, etc., and is extremely detached, extremely dispassionate, and extremely self-realized, and if he desires something other than the manifest form 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. Tap to open in glossary → Manifest... He also has perfect faith in God. Yet, in his heart, lust... Both have faith. It is perfect. The other one has it too, and there is no difference in this. So 'ananyata' must be a state of faith itself, meaning it is the final state. Only then does the question arise. There is faith, but there is no 'ananyata'. It is almost impossible to have 'ananyata' without faith. 'Ananyata' cannot come without faith. Even if he has no other way, that is still not called 'ananyata'. Helplessness. What is the difference between helplessness and 'ananya gatikta'? 'Agatya iti sweekurmah' is written in the scriptures, isn't it? What does 'agatya' mean? What is its meaning? There is no other option, meaning there was no other option, there was no good grain, so even 'kodra' is accepted. Having to eat even 'kodra' is called 'agatya'. Helplessness. And 'ananya gatikta' is not called that. 'Ananya gatikta' is when one has dismissed it from his mind. I have nothing else. Brother, Parvatiji's state is called 'ananya gatikta', 'Even if I have to struggle for tens of millions of births, I will marry Shambhu or remain unmarried.' That is called her 'ananya gatikta'. In that, what is it called? Commitment. She made a commitment. She made her commitment that she would not go anywhere else. So in 'ananya gatikta', there is commitment. And until 'ananya gatikta' is achieved, there is no commitment to one, but commitment to many. If money comes from him, I will give it to you; if it comes to you, I will give it to him; from him, I will give it to him. Good relations are maintained with ten people. So if there is a crisis, one can go anywhere. Ten ways... If there is one way and ten ways, how much benefit is there? If we have ten ways as an alternative to one way, how much benefit is there? But in the path of God, there is no such benefit. In the path of God, other ways are closed and only one remains; that is beneficial, Maharaj said. He gets more happiness. If he closes them himself, it happens. If others close them, then there is no fruit of closing them himself. If others close them, saying, 'Now, brother, Vishwamangal Swami has no other door to go to, this is the only one.' And they stand there. Now, the noose has to be cast. And the other devotee also has perfect faith in God. Yet, when the disturbance of lust, anger, greed, attachment, etc., arises in his heart, he feels burning in his heart, and he does not desire any object other than the manifest form of Lord Shri Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn.

Tap to open in glossary → Very great, meaning he attains much greater happiness than the other, much more happiness than the other. That devotee is a perfect devotee. This is an imperfect devotee. Even though he is imperfect, he has 'ananya gatikta'. And the other is perfect, does he have 'ananya gatikta'... Is there 'ananya gatikta' in the perfect one or not? Eh? Is there 'ananya gatikta' in the perfect one or not? For the imperfect one, 'ananya gatikta' is sometimes a compulsion. 'Now we have nothing else, so where else can we go except here? When things get better, we will see.' Is there 'ananya gatikta' in the perfect one or not?
