That was the unholy feeling in it. They are called great, but now they cannot be called anything, they are all great like this. That is called the growth of unholy feelings. And the other one's good feelings grow. Even in a small person, divinity is seen. That Uka sees divinity in that dog, that this dog is fortunate to sit here. He accidentally stepped on a dog, so he started prostrating to the dog. He started prostrating to the dog, imagine. Is that dog worthy of prostration? Huh? Who says? Is the dog worthy of prostration, or are we worthy of prostration? Huh? But his feelings increased. His feelings increased, so he started seeing divinity in the dog.

But it breaks with the blood of a bedbug. Similarly, desire is not something that can be removed at any time. But what if it goes away? What should I do? He likes his actions. His quality comes. And in that, feelings increase. Then desire goes away. It bursts with the blood of a bedbug. And no matter how much pressure you apply, it won't break. A diamond does not break. It is true at this time. That a diamond breaks with a diamond. Put it in diamond powder and grind it. Otherwise, a diamond does not break. Desire is like a thunderbolt, like a diamond. It does not break. If its quality comes, then it breaks. It breaks with a diamond. Yes. So, until it is revealed to us over time. Until it is revealed to us, the quality comes. So what do I tell you, over time? Over time, desire goes away. It immediately goes away. As much quality comes, that much goes away. Maharaj has said something about immediate removal. How does desire get destroyed immediately? What did Maharaj say? Huh? Even if there is extremely impure desire and it cannot be removed by any means, it still goes away, Maharaj said. Like Uka, whoever gets the opportunity to serve. Service cannot be done without devotion, can it? If he just does labor, it won't go away. He had the same feeling for the dog as Uka had, take it. That this is something very fortunate. If he has such devotion-filled service, then Maharaj says that no matter how many births of impure desires there are, they immediately disappear. Such. Great saints used to say that. Maharaj himself said. It is written that no matter how many births of extremely tamasic karmas there are. Even if there are extremely tamasic karmas, how do they go away? If feelings increase here, they go away. Tamasic karmas burn and all go away. And if there is impure desire, it becomes divine. It happens if done with devotion. If done mechanically, it won't happen. Alright. At that time, Shriji Maharaj has said that a satsangi satsangi A person who practises satsang.

All actions are the same for everyone. From that, he sees the quality. What is the difference between the bright fortnight and the dark fortnight? We call the dark fortnight and the bright fortnight. What is the difference between the two? Difference in light. Light. So it increases or decreases something. If you add them all up, both are the same. The amount of light that remains in the dark fortnight is the same as in the bright fortnight. Does it remain the same or does it vary? The only difference is that this one has lighting first, and then the other one has lighting later. In the bright fortnight. There is lighting at the beginning. And in the dark fortnight. There is lighting from behind. The lighting remains the same for both. In 15 days, as many hours of lighting there are in the bright fortnight, the same amount is in the dark fortnight. So what's the difference between the two? So why is this called the bright fortnight and that called the dark fortnight? Huh? The light decreases and increases. This is the only difference, there is nothing else. So, the light that decreases, the feelings that decrease. That is the dark fortnight. And the one whose feelings increase, that is the bright fortnight. Like that. No other change. If it happens, it's the same. And in that, Maharaj has said that in that, he gets demerits, and in that, the other one gets merits. In this, he has good feelings, and in that, the other one has bad feelings. Come.

Tap to open in glossary → And first, day by day, the satsangi satsangi A person who practises satsang. Tap to open in glossary → What was the resolve of unholy feelings that I had today? And what was the resolve of good feelings that I had? Write both. Resolutions keep happening throughout the day. Write the name like that. Then he has good feelings. It grows day by day. If you want to increase good feelings. Does performing Chandrayan increase good feelings? Or does observing fasts increase good feelings? Huh? From where do good feelings increase? Good feelings don't just increase like that. Performing penance does not increase good feelings. Following rules does not increase good feelings. Good feelings increase if you increase them. And if you decrease them, they decrease. First, day by day, he finds fault with every satsangi satsangi A person who practises satsang. Tap to open in glossary → And in his heart, he knows that all satsangis are ignorant. And I am understanding. Thus, he considers himself superior to all. Ego keeps increasing. And good feelings keep decreasing. Like that. His ego decreases, that decreases, and good feelings decrease. Both are matching, like two sides of a coin. If good feelings increase in someone, their ego decreases. What hinders someone from having good feelings? His own ego hinders him. His own ego hinders him. I am something, I know how to do this. I know this. That bothers him, right. First, day by day, he finds fault with every satsangi satsangi A person who practises satsang. Tap to open in glossary → And in his heart, he knows that all satsangis are ignorant. And I am understanding. Thus, he considers himself superior to all. And day and night, he remains confused in his heart. And during the day, he does not sit peacefully anywhere. And if he sleeps at night, he does not get sleep either. And why wouldn't he be getting sleep? If you have never slept, then investigate and you will know. Why wouldn't he have slept? He burns by seeing someone else's. When someone else is jealous, they don't get sleep. And if he sleeps at night, he does not get sleep either. And anger never subsides. And he keeps smoldering like a half-burnt log. When does wood smolder? He says. There is no fire. So. There is no fire. If there is no fire, it smolders. That's wrong. If there is no fire, it will hardly smolder. Smoke is produced only when there is fire. If the fire completely dies out, will there be smoke? Huh? If there is no fire. So. There is no fire. If there is fire and a little moisture, then there is smoke. It does not allow light to pass through. And there is fire. But even more than that, when does wood smolder? If it's green. In that, the wood has some of its own essence. Then the wood smolders, smolders. And if all its essence is burnt, then it burns someone else. Or something wrong. The original wood still has some of its essence left in it. It shouldn't be dried properly. It doesn't go away properly, so it smolders. His own essence means ego. If one has some ego, then one smolders. My ego is so big, his is only that much, and yet he gets a lot and I don't get anything. Or I get it, but he also gets it, that's not right. So, one's ego is the essence of ego. From what does the most essence come? From ego. The essence that comes from ego does not come from anywhere else. Which word do people use the most? I. In the dictionary, a person uses 'I' the most in their entire life. Thus, one does not use 'I' for others, but only for oneself, so one does 'I'. One does not use 'I' for others. If one does it for others, one finds peace. It does not smolder. If there is a burst of heat, if there is a burst of heat, it does not smolder. And if it cools down, it doesn't smolder either. So, the work of ego is that it does not let it cool down. And it does not let it flare up either. It does not let it shine either. And it does not let it become completely dark either. It is dark and peaceful. He who is the most foolish in the world, and he who has attained supreme intellect. Such a person attains happiness, while others suffer. If it has completely cooled down, then he does not feel any burning sensation. If the ego has completely cooled down, then there is no burning sensation. And even if it flares up, it doesn't remain. Even if it burns completely, it doesn't remain. And even if it cools down, it doesn't remain. But if there is a little bit of essence, then it keeps a little bit of heat and smolders a little bit. It does not allow heat to occur. And it does not let it cool down. It does not allow heat to occur and does not let it cool down. So it smolders. When it smolders, everyone sheds tears. It does not let anyone understand. It does not let others understand their work either. So, he has ego somewhere or the other. That is called smoke. Maharaj has given such a beautiful example of a half-burnt log. Kalidas knows how to give such similes. Thus, he considers himself superior to all and remains confused in his heart day and night. And during the day, he does not sit peacefully anywhere. And if he sleeps at night, he does not get sleep either. And anger never subsides. And he keeps smoldering like a half-burnt log.

Four or six. Four. To Sadgun Swami. 10. 12. 12, okay. You can't count how many years it's been. How much good feeling increased. That is worth considering from Maharaj's perspective. How much our feelings increased. How much all faith increased. In obeying Maharaj's commands, in serving, in maintaining good feelings. If service is less, then it's okay if it's less or more. But increasing feelings is very difficult. Increasing feelings is very difficult. If he serves more than everyone else, then. He considers others to be like trash. When I go, they all fly away. Trash flies away, doesn't it? If our sheet is dragging like that. So. My service surpasses all other services. It's like trash. So, feelings should increase. Then it is called its growth. And if feelings decrease, then it declines. Now, that is one thing to check. What we do is not very important. And how much we do is not very important. How much feelings increased or how much feelings decreased. That is important. It should be done, there is no problem with that. Whatever they do, it is considered good work. But doing good is for increasing one's feelings. AI translation of the Gujarati transcript above, produced in the same pass that transcribed the audio, one English segment per Gujarati segment.
