Why is it that all sinners are saved, and the virtuous remain? Why is it that the virtuous, who perform some spiritual practices, remain, while such grave sinners are saved? Ego, pride, and ego. Everyone has ego. Lack of trust, that is, ego is the reason, but also lack of trust. One should have trust in Bhagwan, shouldn't they? Those who perform bhajan bhajan Worship. Tap to open in glossary → bhajan bhajan Worship. Tap to open in glossary → Therefore, they are saved by trust. 'Rakshishyati iti vishwaso goptrutvam varnam tatha ashravo' - what is this called? Haribal Gita, so what does that mean? What does Haribal mean? Analyze it, students, what is Haribal, Swamiji? Analyze it. The strength of Bhagwan. What is analysis called? You have analyzed it by separating the two words and explaining their relationship. That is called analysis. What is the analysis of Haribal? Hareh balam iti Haribalm. The strength of Hari Hari An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in His four-armed svarup to save an elephant from being killed by a crocodile. He cut off the crocodile’s head with His chakra. Tap to open in glossary → So what is the strength of Bhagwan called? What is the strength of Bhagwan? The strength of Bhagwan's name. So what is strength? It is trust. That trust, that grip, should come to them. If there is trust, then that grip should come. The grip of trust in Bhagwan should come. The grip of Bhagwan's name should come. If there is no trust, then what is their strength? If you say trust in the name, then the meaning is that they should have a grip on the name, on Bhagwan's trust. Hasn't Maharaj said that Dada Khachar has the ang of trust? Muktanand Swami has the ang of trust, so-and-so has this ang, the ang of renunciation. What is the meaning of ang? What is the meaning of ang? Firmness, grip. They should have a grip on that subject. Then it is called their strength. Not the grip of ego, but the grip of trust in the other. That it will happen this way. And work is done by trust. If there is no trust, work will not be done. So there is a shloka, isn't it? 'Mantre vije guro' - if one has trust in these, If one has trust in a doctor, then work is done. And if there is no trust, even if one keeps grinding, work is not done. If one does not have the trust that this will happen from this very thing, and keeps grinding a lot, and the other person has trust, they don't need to grind. It gets done with one. Even if they do it once, it gets done. And the other person does it many times, but it doesn't get done. They do it many times, and do more than others, yet it doesn't get done. What is the reason for that? There is no trust in their jiva. We come here and think, what is my future? If I become a sadhu, what is my future? So what does that mean? There is no trust. He who has taken refuge in Bhagwan, there is someone looking after us. We haven't even considered that, have we? We have come to the refuge of Bhagwan. Bhagwan protects us and looks after us. At home, parents look after us, that trust is there. Others Some have trust in money, that we have so much money, so we won't have any problem. But we have Bhagwan, so we won't have any problem, is that true? No, it's not. So we hold on to the material things of this world. Some hold on to money, some say, 'I am this institution,' so they hold on to the institution. We hold on to a material support, not Bhagwan's support. No support means no trust. That's the meaning. What is the meaning of support? Trust. We have dedicated our lives to Maharaj, yet no trust. Even after dedicating one's life, there is no trust. Gunatitanand Swami says that it is written in one discourse that there is affection but no trust, or there is trust but no affection. This devotee has a lot of affection for me, but no trust. He named a devotee and said that this devotee has a lot of affection for me, but no trust. Then he wanders around, but doesn't do as I say. He shows a lot of affection, a lot of flattery, but doesn't do as told. And many do as told, it doesn't make a difference, but there is no flattery. So who wins out of the two? Trust, that is trust. To the trustworthy, the head. The other, I sing to the pandit pandit Priest. Tap to open in glossary → To the trustworthy, the head. The other is around the other, and to the trustworthy, the head. There is such a doha, isn't there? Bhagwan stays 50 gaav away from those who engage in panditai. If we are here, they stand in Vikarabad, they don't come here. If there is affection, then there should automatically be trust. If there is affection, there should be trust, shouldn't there? If there is affection, there is trust. And the one who has trust doesn't need to grind. So if it's not there, Swami must be saying that it gets done with one. If it happens that way, then he must have said it, otherwise how would he have said it? Even if one does it once, it gets done. Maharaj has said that with affection, foolishness, love, and understanding, even if one does it many times and does more than others, it doesn't get done. What is the reason for that? One takes refuge in all three. So it's not necessarily that it will happen. There is no trust in their jiva. Everyone is foolish and doesn't understand anything, so everyone takes refuge. We come here and think, what is my future? If one wants to use foolishness in taking refuge, it happens. If I become a sadhu, what is my future? The refuge of love, if one wants to use love to take refuge in Bhagwan, it happens. There is no such trust. And understanding also happens. The refuge of Bhagwan. Understanding means knowledge. Is there someone looking after us? We haven't even considered that. It's not like that. We have come to the refuge of Bhagwan, so Bhagwan protects us. If we get a grip on any matter, mastery comes. And he looks after us. At home, parents look after us, that trust is there. In applying, in doing the application, that is called a grip. Others have trust in money, that we have so much money, so we won't have any problem. What else does an elephant have? The elephant just offered one lotus, but we offer heaps to Bhagwan every day. It's not like that. In the Patotsav, there is a competition, isn't there, to bring Bhagwan up to the neck. So we hold on to the material things of this world. Some hold on to money, some say, 'Come on.' They don't drown their neck, so it's good for us. 'I am this institution,' so they hold on to the institution. And the elephant took one lotus. Not Bhagwan's support. There, this is also support. No support means no trust. That's the meaning. Bhagwan left Garuda behind. What is the meaning of support? Lest it take too long. We have dedicated our lives to Maharaj, yet no trust. Bhagwan's honor is at stake. Honor is at stake. Even after dedicating one's life, there is no trust. Gunatitanand Swami says that it is written in one discourse that there is affection but no trust, or there is trust but no affection. He should know that. This devotee has a lot of affection for me, but no trust. In this, trust in the name, trust in the title, and trust in the person. That this devotee has a lot of affection for me, but no trust. That person is Yudhishthira. Before Arjuna, 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 → But Yudhishthira did not have the same trust in Bhagwan's personality as Arjuna did. And many do as told, it doesn't make a difference. Swarup Nishtha is another name for trust. But there is no flattery. Trust in his personality that he will only do good for us. So who wins out of the two? Yudhishthira might not have had such trust that he would only do good for us. The trustworthy. The trustworthy. To the trustworthy, the head. He does good for us, but now what is it? He doesn't have much dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world.

So Maharaj has called it a flaw. There is such a doha, isn't there? Bhagwan stays 50 gaav away from those who engage in panditai in Bhagwan's refuge. If we are here, they stand in Vikarabad. And 'ananya dradh' (unwavering and firm) are two adjectives used. Everyone is foolish and doesn't understand anything, so everyone takes refuge? One flaw and one unique sentiment. If one wants to use foolishness in taking refuge, it happens. Actually, there are two main things in taking refuge: the refuge of love, if one wants to use love to take refuge in Bhagwan, it happens. And akincanpanu (humility) and understanding also happen. Akincanata (humility). Understanding means knowledge. If one has these two things and then takes refuge, are all jnanis necessarily dependent on Bhagwan? So if one has these two things, then the refuge becomes firm. Ananya gatikata (exclusive devotion) means trust. If we get a grip on any matter, mastery comes. Elsewhere, that is, in applying, in doing the application. Then it is called a grip. What does 'other' mean? If one gets the grip of trust in Bhagwan, then it is. What else does an elephant have? No one's trust. The elephant just offered one lotus. But we offer heaps to Bhagwan every day. In the Patotsav, there is a competition, isn't there, to bring Bhagwan up to the neck.
