In today's generation, if they want to have faith in scriptural rituals, then if there is logic and a scientific reason, they will believe it. And if it is not so, they will not accept it. So is there any role of logic in this, in developing faith? What is logic? What is called logic? Logic means reasoning. What is called logic? And what is the purpose of logic? Proving the existence of an object. The purpose of logic is to check quality. It is for checking quality. That logic can also be used to degrade quality. If you search like this, it will happen like this. A person uses such logic that they are right and we are not right. That is called logic. So logic is reasoning, if it damages tradition, then it is modern logic, then it cannot be called right. If that logic supports tradition, then it is called good logic, and that logic's creation was done by the authors of scriptures for this this logic comes in Nyaya, right? What is called logic? The mountain has fire because it has smoke. That means there is fire on this mountain because smoke is visible. One infers like that. One infers like that. So someone argues, argues in that. That even if there is smoke, there is no fire, see. Even if there is smoke, we accept half and do not accept half. That even if there is smoke, there is no fire. Then they answer him with that logic. That where there is no fire, there can never be smoke. So this procedure is called logic. But when they see something good, then what if it is like this in that? What if it is like this in that? Then that is not called logic. That is called bad logic. Logic is to attain some better thing, or to it is right that then he says that where there is no fire, there is no smoke, why? Because there is a cause-and-effect relationship. Smoke is produced only from fire, smoke is the son of fire. If there is no father, how can there be a son? He gives him such an answer. So this is called logic. Uha. Uha-poha. First one does Uha, what does Uha mean? That in that, one considers some possibility of defect. What if there is this defect in this? But why does one consider that possibility? Not to blame. To eliminate the defect. If it is done to eliminate the defect, then it is called logic. And if it is done to blame, then it is called blaming. So logic is used in two ways. In that, if it is done to eliminate the defect, then it is called good. Then it supports the truth. And otherwise, if they have only learned to argue, then arguments can be made in anything, in any matter. If someone has more intellect, they can argue more. And the other person would not understand anything. But they might be able to practice it, even if they cannot argue. They can practice it. So what kind of logic does one use, and in whom does one use it? Shukadevji told Parikshit that you should not argue in this. And even if told, it should not be done in this. It was said that where there is no possibility of logic. Sometimes if there is some great personality, meaning they have really attained God's path, then if we argue about Gopalanand Swami, it is called bad logic only. If we argue about Muktanand Swami, it is called bad logic only. In that, where is our intellect, where is our intellect and where are they? Now if we fit our intellect in that, then it will not fit. And that is called bad logic. So arguments happen in modern management, then modern management and that, modern management also mostly is according to scriptures only. All these of our Good to Great. In Good to Great, what kind of principles are there? Just now those Built to Last, its shortcut video. Summary video. See. So he has made rules, we feel that all these are taken from Vachanamrut and made. Or they are taken from Chanakya and Mahabharat and made. It feels like that. There is no opposition to it. Those who are established as modern in the name of modern, there is opposition in that name. And in that, his weak, weak intention is to be nourished. So if the intention behind arguing is to nourish a weak intention, then that logic cannot be called right. Behind arguing, if the intention is to refine quality, that is there anything left out in this? Or is there anything like that left in our mind? So if they are doing it to refine it, to remove it, then it is called good. So logic has no fixed place. Which way it goes, it goes this way and that way. So whenever we argue, then we should keep this in mind. Are we doing it with the intention of clearing our understanding from it, or are we doing it just to put down someone who is constantly talking? It should be like that. In the faith that is built in commands, what is the main role? Theism. Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → it happens only through theism. Why do like this and why not like this? Suppose, why wake up before sunrise in the morning, and what if it is half an hour late? Why is there an objection? But now we do not have any such thing. There are scientific reasons for it, but that there are scientific reasons everywhere, you cannot say that. By serving parents, God is pleased with it and one gets heaven. And a sadhu, if he serves parents, then he dies. Now what is the scientific reason in that? Has his parents not done any favor to this sadhu? Did they not do any favor to him in that? Raised him. Raised him for 15 years or 20 years, so is there no favor of theirs? Favor only on a householder? And no favor of parents on a sadhu? Still, it is said like this that see, this one falls into hell and that one goes to heaven. So why? Then Swamiji, why, you tell? This is a command. The scriptural injunction is like that. Here you are in India, you have to drive on the left side, if you drive on the right side, it is called an offense. And in America, you have to drive on the right side and if you drive on the left side, it is called an offense, why? In the constitution, its injunction, its constitution was made such that do like this in this. If you go to search for any scientific reason in that, you will not find it. So it was said, 'Shraddhasva' (have faith). Have faith. True faith, not blind faith. Shraddhasva, do not just have blind faith. But have faith and see its theism. If Maharaj has told us, then we should decide one thing that Maharaj is not our enemy. Now since He said it, it must be for our good only. Sometimes there is a great saint of God and he says something we do not like, then at least think that he is not our enemy. He wants to do good to us, he has done good to many others. He wants to do good to us. So then have faith. Only then can one follow Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → Dharma Dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → That is called. The question is that, now this is a new generation and children, if we want to create theism towards God's commands in them, then what is considered the main role in the effort? What should be done? Do what they want, do whatever they like, and slowly mold them. In doing what they want, many things can be done as they want. But do what they want in such a way that they connect with God. Do not do everything as they want. If you have come with 10 offers, 10 times. Then in that, one or two offers might be such that they are worth passing. And in that, they are such that God is pleased. So pass those. So they feel that our wish was kept somewhat. We are also something, our wish was kept indeed. We can also do some thinking. So our wish was kept. So pass such wishes. But do not pass all of them like that. So in the new generation, even in the new generation, good feelings are present. Encourage those feelings. And motivate them more as they do that. And if the other person is very stubborn, then say, 'Wait, wait, wait.' Wait for now. Mukund Swami used to say everything, that everything wait, not like that. Everything wait only. Not today, come tomorrow. Not today, come tomorrow. If vacation starts, then tomorrow never ends. So not like that. In between, we should find out that this is worth completing, even if it is not there, even if he does not think of it, we should say, 'Come, do this.' Do this. He might not think of it. But he might like it. So complete that. So he develops affection. So if he develops affection, then he develops theism in God, he develops affection in God. And we should tell in the name of God that see, Maharaj has said like this. So he develops affection in Maharaj. So the method to mold the new generation is only one, back then Maharaj also started free food distribution. Why? At that time, everyone was struggling for food. So everyone gets free food and it is called very good, this is called very good. So is it called good? Then come and sit for a while. First we should do something for them. And then we should make them do our work. If you keep doing only their work, then also it is a problem. Then yours is completely lost. So after doing one or two of their works, then get some of our work done. Make them develop affection in God. Make them develop affection in God's devotee, get some work, service of satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company. Tap to open in glossary → Again do their work two or three times. Again we have to do it one or two times. So in that way, theism is created in them. Theism is not created directly. Direct theism, if you tell them that only this is right for you and this is right, it does not happen like that, in that, many of their beliefs are good, even in the new generation, many beliefs are good. They also have theism, they might have lived like that from before, it is just that they got the environment, so they do not know. They did not get it, so they do not know. But in that also, some good thing is present. How to bring out that good thing, plan for that. And how to keep aside the weak thing, that not at this moment, not at this moment, not at this moment. Then after we pass away, you may do whatever you want. AI translation of the Gujarati transcript above, produced in the same pass that transcribed the audio, one English segment per Gujarati segment.
