They are incarnations of God, so Maharaj said that one should remember all the divine pastimes performed by God and His incarnations.
Moreover, those who have studied Sanskrit must also perform the sankirtan of God's name.
Or, those who have not studied Sanskrit and do not have knowledge of the meaning of stotras, the essence is that they should perform sankirtan of God's name.
In Ramanujacharya's sampradaya, there are two things.
One is the scriptures and the other is the secret Vedanta.
Its Alvars are there.
All of them are called secret Vedanta.
In the Dravidian language, there is secret Vedanta.
So, in that, the worship that comes to them as part of their sampradaya, that worship.
In that, we look from that perspective.
So, in stotras, installations, and rituals, Maharaj indeed expounded on the incarnation of Shri KrishnaKrishna1) 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.

But the Nand saints performed meditation and bhajans only of Swaminarayan Bhagwan.
Whether one reads scriptures or anything else, no one's devotion has shifted from Maharaj to other incarnations.
That shows that we too should do all this with devotion to Maharaj.
If it's done knowing Maharaj's command, then do it knowing the command.
If it's done knowing Maharaj's incarnation, then do it knowing Maharaj's incarnation.
So, everyone respects him.
And if we consider the whole thing, totally.
Then its meaning is that Shriji Maharaj came here for the welfare of many souls.
To introduce himself to many souls.
And to bring about their salvation.
This is said to be Maharaj's original purpose for all the Nand saints to come.
So, when Maharaj came here, he didn't bring everyone from Akshardham, and he didn't need to introduce himself to them.
He had to introduce himself to new souls.
So, how do new souls get introduced?
If they just keep chanting Maharaj's name.
And they establish such a practice that only Swaminarayan is true, and everything else is false.
If they just keep memorizing that.
Then who else will come near?
And how will others develop the virtues of Swaminarayan Bhagwan?
So Maharaj propagated it in such a way that he expounded on all other incarnations.
In that, he feels that no, this is ours.
If one is a devotee of Shri KrishnaKrishna1) 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.

So, if we have unwavering devotion to Maharaj, then we should not be afraid, thinking, 'What should I do in this, and how should I do it?'
Our mind will find it.
It will find the way.
But we should become firm in Maharaj.
In our soul, Maharaj should become firm.

Maharaj said that Lord Shri KrishnaKrishna1) 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.

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 will give you as many things as you want.
And then, come fight with me.
God knew.
That I am giving all these great materials, and with these materials, he is going to fight against me.
Still he gives.
He is not afraid.
Similarly, Lord Swaminarayan is not afraid.
What is he not afraid of?
That if the form of Lord Swaminarayan has settled in someone's heart, then Lord Swaminarayan is fearless.
He is never afraid that this one might go somewhere else, or that this one might be convinced by someone else, or that this one might go to another place. That is not the case.
So Maharaj has indeed established customs.
But Maharaj has propagated the secret upasana, the secret upasana of the Nand saints, which is Maharaj's.
In the rituals, the forms of all avatars were installed.
All of them.
It means that he respects everyone; Maharaj himself respects everyone.
And he has locked us up, telling us not to criticize others.
So, if you perform arti daily, then criticize him.
If you perform his arti daily and then criticize him.
How can that be tolerated?
So, some people might tolerate it, but still,
But that should not be tolerated.
By criticizing, Maharaj also protected his devotees.
If one criticizes the avatars, Maharaj means that it is criticizing God himself.
Therefore, Maharaj has created a wonderful constitution.
Such a constitution, where can we compare it to others?
If someone is a staunch follower of Lord Ramchandra, they would not install the idol of another avatar. Otherwise, Lord Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn.

So, what kind of flaw is it in Swaminarayan, or what about Swaminarayan's...
What is that like?
Specialty.
Huh?
Supreme.
That Lord Swaminarayan's devotees are floating, so to speak.
Not just people, but even avatars are floating, so to speak.
Not by avatars, but Maharaj is something special, and that is Maharaj's work.
That's why Maharaj is supreme.
It's not that Maharaj became supreme just because we say so; Maharaj has done such deeds.
We just have to translate it.
That this is like this.
He has done such deeds himself.
Or, those who have not studied Sanskrit and do not have knowledge of the meaning of the stotras, they should perform the chanting of God's name, that is the meaning.

Although the dharmas in the form of good conduct of varnashram are observed in the form of worship of God, then through those dharmas, eagerness in actions related to God certainly arises.
So, in observing the dharmas related to varnashram, there are different angles.

We recite stotras, and even if they are of Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

But the main thing is the contemplation.
Who has given the command?
If the command is of Maharaj, then Maharaj will listen.
So, in whatever way one's mind is fixed on Maharaj, one should do such contemplation.
Then it's fine.
And in case they cannot do any contemplation and remember Shri KrishnaKrishna1) 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.

Although the dharmas in the form of good conduct of varnashram, if observed in the form of worship of God, then those dharmas certainly lead to eagerness in actions related to God. Therefore, there is no disregard for those dharmas on this occasion.
At that time, those dharmas must be observed.
Apart from that, during the occasion of bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary →, as mentioned above, the senses must be specially engaged in the form of God.
So, the meaning here is not to abandon dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion,Tap to open in glossary → under the pretext of connecting with the form of God.
But here the occasion is such that one should become devoted to God, meaning that from morning till we sleep at night, our actions should be related to God.
And by doing so, by continuously engaging in actions related to God, the practice of unbroken remembrance certainly occurs; such an intention should be understood here.
The dharmas of varnashram and so on, which are performed in the form of worship of God, are actions devoted to God. Their devotion to God is through the dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world.

And what is said here about puja, japa, stotrastotraA hymn of praise.Tap to open in glossary →-path, etc., that is direct devotion to God.
So, we had talked earlier, hadn't we, that some actions are related to God, and some actions are for God, and so on.
And some actions are done by the command of God.
If one performs an action by the command of God, it doesn't mean it's for God. There's a slight difference in the command of God.
If one does it for God, then one does it for God's benefit.
And if one does it related to God, then there is a direct connection of the action to God.
The nine-fold devotion is called related to God.

Then it is said that he performed the action for God.
It is said to be done by the command of God and related to God.
By the command of God, related to God, and for God.
From the perspective of the Gita, doing things for God, more than anything else, brings greater pleasure to God.
Because doing it for God means that he is advancing God's mission, which was God's mission.

Whatever happens, it's only with a minus.
Because no one related to God can reach Him.
So, in the end, it goes into one account.
It doesn't go into God's pleasure account.
God is generous.
So, He doesn't count much.
God is like that, He says, for those who have surrendered to Him.
That is counted.

Those who eat that, they are sinners.

So both things.
If one cannot give up the hotel food and also cannot give up the prasad, then both should communicate.
Then does the sin of eating hotel food remain or does it go away?

So Maharaj must have gone there to eat.
It is said that one should serve with love and affection.
Therefore, one should always serve KrishnaKrishna1) 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 → with love.
Become devoted to Bhagwan with love.
Become as devoted to Bhagwan as possible through material things.
It is said not to grieve much over it.
Do not grieve over material things.
But become devoted to Bhagwan with love.
Love is a personal matter, money is not needed, so express as much as you can.
It is said that 'pritya' means to serve with love and affection.
Bhagwan himself has said that if my devotee offers me even a little water with faith,
then I accept it with great love.
If any non-devotee offers me abundant materials, I am not pleased by that.
With faith, he abandoned Duryodhana's sweets and ate vegetables at Vidur's house.
Bhagwan went to Vidur's house to eat vegetables.
He did not go to eat the fifty-six dishes.
Lord Ramachandra used to say, Lord Ramachandra praises the berries of Shabari Ma everywhere.
Someone asks, "You lived in the forest for 14 years."
So, any extraordinary experience?
If you had any extraordinary experience, tell me about it.
Then Bhagwan immediately starts narrating the story.
Of Shabari Ma.
That we ate berries, but we didn't find anything like that anywhere else.
He ate kansar at his in-laws' house.
That is very sweet.
At the wedding, like that.
At King Janak's house, King Janak was a king, there was immense prosperity.
He ate kansar at his house.
Mother Kaushalya fed him with great love.
He was fed in all other places, but Shabari Ma's berries were abundant.
So, this is the memory of 14 years.
Bhagwan praises him.
He praises his love with affection.
If my devotee offers me even a little water with faith, I accept it with great love.
We have that incident somewhere, don't we? Mulji Bhagat went to offer water to Thakorji, and Maharaj drank it.
The capacity to serve should be that of a devotee.
There should be such love.
Therefore, one should always serve KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

Even in a small act, one should offer it to God with love.
If my devotee offers me even a little water with faith, I accept it with great love.
It is the same in service; service should also be done with love.
Don't do it with competition, thinking I'll get ahead of him, or I'll get ahead of him.
I'll take it.
Don't do that.
Do whatever you do with love.
God sees and God accepts, and we give, it's not like that.
If a non-devotee offers me abundant materials, I am not pleased by that. If I am pleased only by water offered with faith, then what is there to say if a devotee offers me sandalwood, flowers, incense, lamps, and food offerings with faith?
It is said in the Gita that if a devotee offers me leaves, flowers, fruits, and water with love, then I manifest myself and partake of those leaves, flowers, and other offerings made with loving devotion.
If any devotee offers me leaves, flowers, fruits, and water with love, then I manifest myself and partake of those leaves, flowers, and other offerings made with loving devotion.
Why did it become slow like this, didn't it?
Devotees with singular devotion, whatever actions they offer to God, that divine and virtuous Supreme Being accepts them as paramount.
God is complete; He has no expectations. Yet, if a devotee with devotion offers something, He accepts it as if He Himself needs it.
He accepts it as if He is extremely hungry.
If a devotee has devotion, then God doesn't feel any hunger, yet He accepts it as if He is extremely hungry.
God is complete; He has no expectations. Yet, if a devotee with devotion offers something, He accepts it as if He Himself needs it.
And being pleased by that, He gives abundantly to that devotee.
It is said in Pancharatra that if my devotee offers me even an atom
I use even an atom-sized thing offered to me.
But I do not use even abundant things given by a person without devotion.
It is said in other Puranas that
Maharaj said this in the Vachanamrut.
Whatever we offer to God here, that devotee receives it there.
He said that.
Whatever we offer here, that devotee receives it in Akshardham.
If we offer a papaya to God here, then we get a good, divine papaya there, even if it's rotten here.

So there Maharaj
It is said in the 71st Vachanamrut of the first section.
He attains that object.
Whatever is given from here, he attains that object.
He said that.
So there's that incident of Bhayavadar, isn't there?
Gopalanand Swami said that if someone gives us a plot for a temple here, we should give him a house there.
His special one in Akshardham.
I don't know if it's there or not, but Gopalanand Swami said that we should give him a house there.
With good facilities.
It's finished.
Translation.
There are about five minutes left.
Self-surrendered
I do not use even abundant things given by a person without devotion.
It is said in other Puranas that
If a person offers this entire land, full of jewels, to Shri KrishnaKrishna1) 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.

But if there is something, do a little, it becomes too much.
Do as much as you have faith.
Hey
But what he should have at a minimum, Maharaj has said in the Vachanamrut.
If it's like this, then it's fine.
Then if it's like this, take the fault, and if it's like this, don't take it.
Where to take it, God has already said it.
So if it's like that, don't go there.
God is one, but there are many devotees.
Others say to catch the good ones.
O Kunti, whatever karmakarmaAction. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. 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. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards.Tap to open in glossary → you do, eat, perform yagnayagnaSacrificial worship. Ceremonial ritual performed as a form of worship to seek the good favour and receive the blessings of the devs. Different items, such as ghee, grains, wood, and spices, are offered into a sacred pit of fire in accordance with strict scriptural niyams with the chanting of mantras that are prescribed in the Veds.Tap to open in glossary →, give charity, perform penance, offer all of that to me.
Its fruit also belongs to God.
Its fruit is also said by God that
When a person renounces all actions and surrenders himself to me, at that time he becomes especially honorable to me, and I grant him the attainment of immortal moksha.
And by attaining me, he becomes my very form.
Here, the meaning of 'my form' is the attainment of the eight qualities like natural sinlessness, etc., which are free from sin and death.
He attains divine opulence like God.
My form becomes two, meaning my chair sits down, not like that.
But he attains divine opulence like God.
Here, the meaning of 'my form' is the manifestation of a form endowed with eight qualities such as natural sinlessness.
It is also said in the Gita that
The devotee who is devoted to me, offering all his actions to me, worships me, the Supreme Lord, by constantly meditating with unwavering devotion.
O Arjuna, I swiftly deliver those loving devotees who fix their minds on my form from the ocean of samsara, which is death.
Victory to Sahajanand Swami Maharaj.
