When one sees the strength of this jiva, then in no way does one feel courageous. The inner enemies are extremely terrible. They do not allow the thieves of the great Lord to be removed. Just as a thief steals and takes the belongings of a devotee, similarly, the inner thief steals and makes one destitute. Then, what is considered stealing from the mouth? What is considered stealing? When we are on the path of God, it is said that our salvation has been stolen. It is said that our salvation has been stolen. And who steals salvation? Here, the jiva is called a thief. The inner enemy is not the thief. What did it say? Read it again, brother. Just as a thief steals and takes the belongings of a devotee, similarly, the inner thief steals and makes one destitute. The inner 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 → The inner enemy is stealing. Then, he shows humility with his mouth and considers himself poor in his mind. Even if he acts, he remains poor day and night without radiance. Just as a lamp's flame has extinguished, leaving behind black soot. Wherever he goes, he hears his own ill repute. How can the jiva, who has become accustomed to this, give it up? Day and night, he remains fearful, like a thief, I am a sinner. The soul does not believe in itself, nor does it have the glory of God. Because of this, he remains unfortunate and cannot believe himself to be sinless. Abandoning the one Lord, he shows his own strength. Even if a hundred stars rise together, there is no dawn without the sun. Similarly, whatever happens through the Lord of the universe, that cannot be done by immortal men. Nishkulanand says that this matter should be understood completely and firmly. When the strength of a jiva is observed, that is, when it is measured by the actions it has performed, then it cannot have any faith in attaining the abode of God. Because within the jiva, lust, anger, and other extremely terrible inner enemies are seated. If a person looks at their past history, examines it, then it won't be good. They won't find peace. No one has such a strong past history. At most, it's from this birth, but not from previous births. So, no one believes in their heart that their salvation will happen. If one focuses on God, then it is believed. This God is such that it is believed based on Him. If one looks at oneself, it is not believed much. Peace does not come. And one cannot consider oneself sinless within. If one has committed them, how can one believe it? By the grace of God, it can be believed everywhere. When the strength of a jiva is observed, that is, when it is measured by the actions it has performed, then it cannot have any faith in attaining the abode of God. He brings faith, and his sins do not hinder him. In bringing faith in God, his sins do not hinder him. His own ego hinders him. Even a sinner has put faith in God, and God has redeemed him. He didn't feel in his heart that he had committed many sins. Maharaj said in the Vachanamrut that Yudhishthir Maharaj had not committed any sin. And Arjuna had finished the entire Mahabharata. So Arjuna had no hesitation in his mind that he had done wrong. And Yudhishthir Maharaj had done nothing, yet he felt in his mind that he would not be redeemed even in hell. If I go to hell, all those Yamas will run away seeing me. That we have never seen such a sinner. Such a thought arose in his mind due to his own glory. And he had the glory of God. So he thought that he had no problem. What I have done is good. I have fulfilled God's wish. So God will be pleased with me. And I will become sinless. So, if there is the glory of God. His own sins do not hinder him that much in achieving inner satisfaction, life satisfaction. His own sins do not hinder him as much as his disbelief in God hinders us.
