Just as when our eyes come into contact with a lamp, the light of that lamp enters the eyes. Because of that, the darkness in front of the eyes is destroyed. Similarly, one who has established a connection with the form of God through firm conviction, in him, the redemptive virtues of God manifest. Then, just as God is completely unbound in every way and is capable of doing whatever He wishes, similarly, that devotee also becomes exceedingly capable and unbound. He becomes unbound like God.

Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits.

There are minor virtues, but if we learn something and get inflated with pride, then that cannot be said to be God's virtue. If we learn to make mysurpa and then get inflated with pride, then that cannot be said to be God's virtue. It is said to be the virtue of mysurpa. If one learns and gets inflated with pride, then? Not God's virtue. God still does not get inflated with pride. Still, He remains the devotee of His devotees. God says, "If I do not have this virtue, then other virtues do not look very graceful." If one has the virtue of becoming the devotee of devotees, it graces everyone. So, that is God's virtue. What is Maharaj's virtue? Huh? To become the devotee of God's devotees. Whose devotee are you? A devotee of sadhus, of devotees, or of God? Whose devotee? Or of no one? A devotee of oneself. Whose devotee are you? Then Nirgunanand Swami asked, "Even if there is conviction, good virtues do not manifest, and pride and jealousy increase day by day. What could be the reason for this?" Then Shriji Maharaj said, "If we bring nectar to God, and bring aconite poison, and bring dudhpak and sugar, and bring opium, and offer all of them in God's food offering, still, whatever inherent quality each has remains exactly as it is and does not change." Similarly, a jiva who is demonic and extremely unworthy, even if he comes near God, does not abandon his nature." Then, if he harms any poor devotee, because of that, he meets a bad end. Why? Because God, who resides in everyone as the indweller, reveals as much of His power as He wishes, wherever He pleases. He reveals as much of His power as He wishes, wherever He pleases; therefore, by insulting that devotee, it becomes an insult to God. Consequently, the one who insults meets an extremely bad end. Just as Hiranyakashipu, who had subdued the three worlds under his control, was so powerful, yet when he harmed Prahladji, God manifested from a pillar in the form of Nrisimha and destroyed that Hiranyakashipu. He finished his power. Hiranyakashipu had a lot of power, but He finished all of it. Thinking thus, those who are devotees of God should embrace extreme humility, but should never insult anyone. Because God also resides within the heart of the poor, and He brings about a bad end for the perpetrator who insults that poor person. Knowing this, one should not hurt even a minor jiva. And if, under the influence of ego, one goes around hurting whoever, then God, who is the crusher of pride and is all-pervading in everyone as the indweller, cannot tolerate it. Then, manifesting through any medium, He thoroughly destroys the pride of that arrogant person. Therefore, fearing that God, a sadhu should not keep even a trace of pride, and should not hurt even a jiva as small as an ant.
