There are no flaws of Maya in it, like those that have been abandoned.

Therefore, they are called nirguna, meaning devoid of qualities that are to be abandoned.

Also, in that God, there is the beauty of countless auspicious virtues like jewels, therefore he is called saguna.

Due to the connection with such a nirguna Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

Even though those actions appear to be full of gunas, they become gunatit.

Because all its activities become successful by leading to God.

Other than that, it has no other fruit.

The nirguna actions of those devotees lead to the attainment of God.

It is said in the Gita

O Arjuna, keep your mind in my form.

Become my devotee, worship me.

Bow to me, by doing so you will attain me.

I say this with a true vow.

You are very dear to me.

It is also said in the Bhagavata that one who dies during the increase of sattva guna goes to heaven, and if one dies during the increase of rajo guna, one is born in the human realm.

And if tamo guna has increased and one's life leaves the body, then one falls into hell.

And devotees who attain the nirguna state attain me.

So, at the time of death, how can there be an activity of any guna or of nirguna?

If there is a tamasic tendency, then one becomes confused and goes to God's abode, leaving the body.

If a rajasic tendency has come, if the flow of rajas guna has come, then a sankalpa in the mind

This is left, this is left, this is left.

He leaves the body with great agony.

So that is called the activity of Rajogun.

And if there is an activity of Sattvagun, then something good comes to his mind.

If I had done such a good deed, it would have been good, or something like that is left to be done.

Such Sattvagun comes to mind.

So, he remembers what he did for God.

Or, in short, if God is remembered, then at the time of death, if God is remembered more than what was done, then it is called NirgunNirgun1) Without gun.

What?

At the time of death

At the time of death, there is no 'a'.

No problem.

If at the time of death, one remembers that they have missed serving God, is that called NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → or not?

That is called extreme Sattvagun.

It is called Sattvagun, so it does not cause much harm, but it does cause rebirth.

All the histories say so.

When Nanadas Swami was about to go to Dham, Swami stood before Thakorji and prayed.

Maharaj, there was no inauspicious desire from the beginning.

But there was an auspicious desire.

In today's language, it means to increase Maharaj's brand.

To increase the glory of the Sampraday.

To do such good deeds.

So Swami did such great things, like laying marble in the circumambulation of the Junagadh temple today.

Ganpati and Hanumanji were below the temple, he took them up.

He built temples in Una.

Swami did such deeds that increased the glory of the Sampraday and enhanced its brand.

And then at the end, Swami came to Maharaj and said that.

That now he has given it up from today.

If a bad action or a good deed remains undone in the mind, then one has to take birth and death again.

Maharaj says that from this world, one should become desireless, no matter what, even if this world is good.

From this world, one should become desireless.

So that cannot be called NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → means that there is only one desire related to the idol of God, and that is the desire to go to Dham.

Not here regarding the idol.

The desire to go to Dham and become a servant of the idol is NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

At the time of death, it is said then.

During the current life, if another bad desire arises to serve God, as long as our remaining karmakarmaAction. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences.

Until then, if we make good plans, then it is called NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

We make plans to please God.

We make some plans to become a servant of God.

We make a plan to increase God's brand.

Such.

Anything else besides that is called Trigun.

Then there is good work.

Sometimes it is Rajoguni.

Sometimes it is Tamoguni.

Then all of them are called Trigun.

They are not called related to God.

One whose death occurs during the growth of Sattvagun goes to heaven.

If death occurs during the growth of Rajogun, then one takes birth in the human world.

And if Tamogun has increased, and if the life breath leaves the body, then one falls into hell.

And devotees who have attained the NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → state attain Me alone.

So

God has said in the Gita that there is no destruction in this path.

There is no adverse effect.

Even a little of this dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion,Tap to open in glossary → protects from great fear.

The glory that is mentioned is the glory of the NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → state.

There is no destruction in this path, if one has made a resolve.

Even then, that resolve

It is not destroyed now.

If one has resolved to serve God or to please God, thinking that something is left undone.

At the time of death,

Then it is called nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →, but one has to take birth.

Just as Bharatji's resolve was to worship God, but if an obstacle came again, then at the time of death, he got attached to the fawn, so he had to take birth.

Time could not destroy the resolve related to devotion.

Time could not destroy the thoughts he had related to devotion.

It remains as it is.

Then they came back in the body of Jadbharat and performed devotion with the same detachment.

But at the time of death, do nothing but the murtimurti1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.Tap to open in glossary → of God.

Such is that of the Shastrakars.

That is what is called nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

And prepare in advance in such a way.

Those who are close to us, like us, say that now only a little is left, not much.

They should prepare in such a way.

Those who are not close, it's fine, they should prepare to please him.

If God is pleased with him, then there is no problem.

And one whose death is near should prepare in such a way.

Nothing else should come to mind, nothing good should be remembered.

If something is considered good in this world, like increasing God's brand, increasing the SatsangSatsang1) 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 →'s brand, or pleasing God, doing such good deeds, then do them carefully.

Don't let death come first and leave the other things behind.

And if you want to start something, tell Maharaj that it's okay if it's not completed.

Then don't stop it for this.

Then it is called nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

If one's life departs when tamogun is dominant, then one falls into hell.

And devotees who have attained the nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → state attain Me alone.

Just as by the association of Ganga water,

When Shastriji Maharaj was about to go to Dham, Krishnapriya Swami often talks about it.

In the last days, Swami only remembered the great saints.

Balmukund Swami, Narayan Swami, those who had darshandarshanSeeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2].Tap to open in glossary →, Narayan Das Swami, Krishnacharan Swami, he remembered all those saints.

Then finally, Swami used to say, "Now I see light."

I see light within my heart.

That means I see the murtimurti1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.Tap to open in glossary → of God.

Nothing else is visible.

Swami's life was such that during his life, nothing else would come into his heart.

But this is so that others get some spiritual advice, mumukshus get some spiritual advice and guidance on what to do.

So Swami used to say that.

That light is visible.

Nothing else is visible.

Swami used to say that from the beginning.

This Gurukul has never come to me in a dream.

And I have not tied a bell around the neck of the Gurukul.

Earlier, Swami used to say a lot that I would leave everyone and go to the Himalayas.

I like the Himalayas very much.

Because Swami stayed there.

I am staying here for your good.

And I keep you for your good.

Otherwise, I would do it alone.

And Swami had such a status.

So he spoke with that status.

Therefore,

Do not remain bound anywhere in this world.

At the time of death.

As long as there is a remnant of prarabdha, do good deeds.

Try to go into the nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → state.

We had talked about the nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → state earlier, hadn't we?

That one can go mentally.

Physically, sattvagun develops.

So if sattvagun develops, then that is sattvam yad brahma darshanam.

That is closer to God.

Sattvagun can be developed physically.

And mentally, one can become brahmarup.

It's a method.

In the mind, Maharaj has brahmarup nishtha.

What kind of state was described? That one should not do anything that displeases God.

It wasn't said that one should do the highest work.

It wasn't said like that.

That one should do work higher than everyone else.

It's only talked about what God dislikes and what God likes.

Do or do not, as in.

Which one to do and which one not to do.

Do what God likes, and don't do what God dislikes.

One should not do any work that would displease God.

To cultivate such a mentality, Maharaj called it the state of Brahmarup.

That is called Brahmarup.

I want to do something that no one else can do.

Then that is not the state of Brahmarup; that is the state of ego.

We should do something that no one else can do. Once we do it, no one else should be able to do it after us.

Break the record.

We should establish the record. No one should be able to break the record.

It doesn't matter if the record is broken or not. No one remembers by the record.

Do not do anything that displeases God.

That is the nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary → bhava (attributeless state).

Even if it is related to God and is sattvic, it is still done according to one's own mind.

It seems good to us.

We find it better than those who are older than us.

Shastriji Maharaj used to say something very nice.

Nanddas Swami would be reciting a katha, and a sadhu, like us, would have studied a bit more.

So he reads Harililamrut.

The word 'Rishi' appears in it.

So he says 'Rishi'.

Rishi, Rishi.

We say 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 → and Rishi and all that, don't we?

So he says 'Rishi'.

So Nanddas Swami said, 'Sadhu, it's not 'Rishi', it's 'RushiRushiA sage. A tyãgi who performs severe tap and dhyãn. The Veds were revealed by Brahmã to rushis.Tap to open in glossary →'.

No, Swami, its pronunciation is only this way.

So, was Nanddas Swami right or was that Swami right?

At the top level, who is more modern, who is right?

Who is considered right?

According to VedicVedicFrom the Veds.Tap to open in glossary → tradition, is Nanddas Swami right or

[inaudible]

So Swami has said many times that.

Now, whatever it is, but you say 'Rishi', don't you?

Because our ears are accustomed to that.

So, no, Swami, it's not pronounced like that.

And still, he kept saying 'Rishi, Rishi'.

Many times we think, 'If we are right, why should we bow down?'

We are right.

Nowadays, people who are tired of sitting in Mercedes and Audi cars like to sit in a bullock cart.

Maharaj, I came sitting in a bullock cart after going to the village.

Because they would be tired of sitting in Audis and Mercedes.

So, they like to sit in a bullock cart after going to the village.

So, one devotee had such a wish that, "I am tired of sitting in planes, so come to pick me up in a chariot."

Maharaj comes with a chariot.

So, Maharaj would make a chariot out of the airplane itself, saying there's no need to make a new one.

No need to keep it as a spare.

So, he makes a chariot out of the airplane itself.

And he says, sitting on Garuda, that he has never ridden it.

The camel ran away.

So,

So, if there is such a hobby.

God fulfills that.

God is very compassionate.

Even if he made a vow by mistake, God fulfills it and then takes him.

Dhruvji made a vow by mistake that he wanted such a kingdom.

Then he did bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary →, and all his vows disappeared.

He became desireless.

So, God was pleased and told him, "Ask, ask."

So, he said, "Maharaj, I don't want to ask for anything, just be pleased and take me to your abode."

Well, you started like this, you initiated like this.

You started like this.

He said, "I made a mistake, cancel it."

God says, "I don't want to cancel it, your this"

I want to give this and I want to give my abode.

So, God established him in Dhruv MandalMandalGroup or assembly. In the time of Swãminãrãyan Bhagvãn, the sãdhus were often formed into groups, within which they travelled and preached in different regions.Tap to open in glossary →.

Tomorrow, my reputation will be ruined in some world.

That Dhruv asked for this, but God didn't give it.

And he gave something else that he liked, but he didn't give what Dhruv liked.

So, Maharaj, I have to give it to maintain my honor.

So, God is very compassionate.

If one has made such an innocent vow, it is good to go to God's abode in this way.

If I go to the abode, and these two or three people first turn upside down and then I go, if I don't do that, then we will turn upside down.

So,

He made a good vow to go to the abode, saying, "Maharaj, if I go like this, I will like it."

But first, let's try to please him. Everyone has a long list of what they like.

But if you have made a list of things that God likes, then it will happen.

There is a question.

Huh?

There is a question.

In the path of God, one should do as the saints say, but in the practical decisions of the organization, it is possible in today's time that a great saint may not understand.

Even then, should we do as he says?

It's a very complicated question.

So, do whatever everyone likes.

If you repeat the question again, I have already given one option.

Now, what is the second option?

In the path of God, one should do as the saints say, but in the practical decisions of the organization, it is possible in today's time that a great saint may not understand.

Even then, should we do as he says?

So, first, you have to make the great saint understand, and then do as he says.

If he doesn't know, we have to teach him a lesson and make him understand.

When Shastriji Maharaj established this Gurukul, Manat Swami was there.

Manat Swami was completely uneducated.

He probably didn't even know how to sign his name.

He was just like Jogi Swami.

But Swami was such that he would talk to God.

So, he was Swami's elder guruguruA teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn.Tap to open in glossary →-brother.

Swami wanted to establish this Gurukul, but Manat Swami didn't understand.

He said, "What is this? Are we going to leave? Are you going to become a sannyasi?"

So, he said, "Swami, it's not like that."

Then, slowly, Swami explained.

He said, "Then it's fine, do it."

So, you have to explain it to him like that.

But it has to be done that way.

He says so.

If he doesn't understand, then explain it to him.

And if he does as he says, it's even better.

There is another question from Bhagatbhai.

Maharaj said in the Vachanamrut, "Whatever one thinks of at the end, that is what one attains."

Right, in the Katha, he said that everything should be renounced at the end.

Huh?

In the end, everything is released at the time of death.

It is said in the Vachanamrut that whatever one thinks of at the end, that is what one attains.

It is a good thing, "Whatever one thinks of at the end, that is what one attains."

To hold on to it until the very end, that is to hold on to good things.

There is no question of holding on to the confusion in our hearts.

Good actions, sacrifices, charity, and penance are purifying for the wise; they should never be abandoned.

Lord 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.

Sacrifices, charity, and penance should not be abandoned, this is my opinion.

God said that if anyone asks me, these good actions should be done until the very end.

It means not to sit idle.

Don't think that everything is done for me.

Know that we still have things to do.

So, good deeds should be done until the last breath.

If God comes, don't insist.

All these examples have happened in our tradition. Look at Gopinathpurani Swami, Maharaj gave darshandarshanSeeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.

And Swami was properly narrating the story of Kalpataru.

In Rajkot.

It was a big Katha, and one Skandha was left.

And then he gave darshandarshanSeeing. To see with admiration and devotion.

By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2].Tap to open in glossary →.

And Gunatitanand Swami and other saints said, "Come, Maharaj has come to take you."

He is sitting outside at the temple gate.

He has brought you, he has come to take you.

So Swami stammered a bit.

Gopinathpurani Swami stammered.

But I am doing this Katha, and I have ordered the twelfth Skandha from Junagadh.

The Katha remains incomplete.

Then Maharaj said, "Alright, let him come after finishing the Katha."

And Maharaj immediately disappeared.

After he disappeared, Swami felt so bad.

That he became extremely unwell.

He couldn't speak or do anything else.

Then he felt a lot of regret in his mind.

Oh, Maharaj came to take me.

And I remembered all this, it was a good deed.

And it was a task to increase Maharaj's brand.

It was not about increasing Maharaj's brand, or his own brand.

It was about increasing Maharaj's brand.

Then he made such preparations.

That he finished everything and made so many preparations.

That if Maharaj comes, he will go immediately.

And then Maharaj came to take him, and he went to Dham.

So, even in good things, one should not have such attachment that Maharaj has to come again.

And there is no question of being lazy.

Therefore, sacrifices, charity, and penance are purifying for the wise.

Even if he has become liberated, he is still one who performs excessive charity.

In that, there are those who add another star.

Excessive charity, in today's language, is called

Those who add another star.

This time, during Chaturmas, you did some good work.

You performed some ritual, some penance.

Then the second Chaturmas came.

So if you do it in the second Chaturmas, you get another star.

You get another star in your personal life.

And even if we are going to Dham, going to die, it doesn't matter.

Until the end.

Another star is added.

That is called excessive charity.

It purifies even the wise.

I have become so great, so I don't have to do anything.

If you believe it, it's good, no problem.

Those who are free from desires believe that we are free from desires.

They have become nirgunik.

Then they don't believe it.

But the scriptures do not say that.

The scriptures say that.

Gita, Brahmasutra, what does it say in it, that this is the end.

The last breath, prayan means the last journey, we journey, this is the journey.

When we take our last breath and leave, we journey to God's abode.

Do it until then.

Then don't do it, then do it only until then.

Then don't tell Maharaj, "Let me stand up, take a breath, and then do something else."

That's done.

I do more service than others.

Such a feeling arises.

To say more than others, there is a tinge of rajogun in it.

Others come to mind, don't they?

I will pour out all my strength.

One should do that.

If you have to compete, with whom should you compete?

You have to do it with yourself.

Don't do it with others.

If you do it with others, it means rajas has entered.

If we see only others even on the path of God, then we have become oriented towards others.

We gave him the key to our house, saying, 'You press the key, and I will run.'

That's what it means.

We are not self-motivated with ourselves.

Not self-inspired.

So, they are called that.

We should think that I should make more records this year than the record I broke last time, the record I established.

If I did so many japas last time, I will do more this time.

Last time, I pleased God so much, I pleased him by doing so much sadhana, so this time I will do a little more.

If one breaks their own record, it is called nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities.

But if one breaks someone else's record, it is called a bit of rajogun.

So, the rajasic feeling has entered into it.

From that, sometimes one goes into jealousy.

If one does it by looking at others, and in case they succeed, then there is no problem; if they don't succeed, then they go into jealousy.

The nature of arrogance is such.

Arrogance itself is rajas.

It is called ghor (terrible).

Maharaj has called it ghor.

Arrogance is ghor.

What does ghor mean?

It kills boils.

No one can determine which way it goes.

If a whirlwind comes, it's not like it only goes in one direction.

Everyone decides that it will come from here and from here, but then the one who left is nowhere to be found.

So, a whirlwind cannot be predicted. Arrogance is like a whirlwind.

He says, "Hmm."

If you break 50 records, where will you reach?

It becomes chaotic, it becomes yo-yo.

So, you shouldn't do that much.

But if we try to break too many records of others, and if there is balance in it, then it's fine.

It's called benchmarking, isn't it?

He called it benchmarking, that this.

But who called it benchmarking?

Huh? Just as a reference.

Take a minus reference in the reference.

That he is ahead in this matter and I am minus in that matter, so if I want to complete the minus part, then only for that much it is called benchmarking.

Competition is not called benchmarking.

Going ahead of him is not called benchmarking.

To remove one's negative part, if someone is better than us, we take some advice from them and do something, with guidance, then that is called benchmarking.

Benchmarking can be done.

But if there is no competition, it is better.

That is what is said in the path of moksha.

If you want to compete, compete with yourself.

If one is getting too much of that, if one is getting a turn, then one is told to compete with oneself.

I want to break my record from last time this time.

Break the record made in the last six months in these six months.

Similarly, do that for last month, last week, and yesterday.

Then it is not called competition.

And that is called healthy.

Then it is called nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

But if we do it with others, then it is called a bit of rajasic feeling.

One who performs actions without attachment is sattvic.

One who performs actions blindly out of attachment is rajasic.

I will do this only.

I will do it sitting here.

That is called ragant.

I will do it well.

But I will do it sitting here.

I will do this only, nothing else.

Then it is called ragant.

He does it with detachment.

But in the Gita, God has mentioned only sattva, rajas, and tamas; He has not made a fourth division.

In the Bhagavata, God has made four divisions.

When we were studying the Gita, we made five divisions of the four.

Where, where?

One is Asuri.

If one goes down and clings to God's devotee to uproot him, then that is called Asuri.

And a little bit up from that is called Tamasi.

Up from that is called Rajasi.

Up from that is called Satvik.

Up from that is called NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

He is said to have become Brahmarup.

So, if one has become Brahmarup, then he doesn't have any competition with anyone else.

If one has become Brahmarup, then he should keep competition with himself.

Otherwise, he will again become the body.

If he stops competing with himself, then even if we have achieved a lot, he will become the body.

So, he should constantly compete with himself.

And God has said that Yagnas, charity, penance, and such feelings are wisdom.

One should never abandon them.

Keep constantly competing with yourself.

One who performs actions without attachment is sattvic.

One who performs actions blindly with attachment

Free from attachment, without ego.

Endowed with courage and enthusiasm.

He is called sattvic who is unaffected by success or failure.

But if he does it to please God, then he is NirgunNirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

Faith in the self is sattvic faith.

To do good for one's own soul is called faith in the self.

I want to do good for my soul. I don't want to make my soul a worm of hell.

If such a thought arises, then it is sattvic.

I am going to defeat others, that is called rajas.

I am going to defeat others.

Who can compete with me in this world?

And whoever has done it in the past, they have all stumbled.

Look at so and so, all the evidence is in his list.

That they have all stumbled so much.

One person came to compete with me, and he stumbled twice, then he came again and stumbled thrice.

Like that.

Faith in the self is sattvic faith.

Faith in action is rajas.

Faith in unrighteousness is tamas.

And the faith in my service

People have faith even in unrighteousness.

Faith in bad company is called faith in unrighteousness.

Do people have faith even in bad company or not?

If the knot of the tail gets tied with bad company, then it gets tied only once and doesn't untie again.

The knot of the tail is such that it doesn't untie.

The rope's knot unties.

This tail, it ties a knot again, even if the other one leaves it.

Because there is consciousness in it.

So, faith in bad company is tamasic faith.

Actually, it is called demonic faith.

But tamasic, if there is no big problem with God's devotee, then it is tamasic.

Faith in the self is sattvic faith.

Faith in action is rajas.

Faith in unrighteousness is tamas.

And the faith in my service is nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

Someone develops faith to please me.

Maharaj has written in Vachanamrut in two or three places that if one wants to please God excessively, what is the means for that?

Excessively, Maharaj remembered how it was.

Maharaj had such a strong desire, that's why Maharaj remembers it.

That if one wants to please excessively, then this is the means for it.

The faith in my service is nirgunnirgun1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8].Tap to open in glossary →.

Healthy, pure, and easily obtained food is sattvic.

Health and ease, both should be there.

If it's not easy, it becomes rajas.

If it's obtained with great effort, it becomes rajas.

Even if it provides health.

Then it becomes rajas.

And if it's easy and unhealthy, then it becomes rajas, sometimes tamas.

If we eat with attachment, it becomes tamasic.

So, in sattvic or rajasic food, both aspects should be examined.

Health and ease, health and ease.

If both these aspects are maintained, it is called sattvic food.

Food that is healthy, pure, and obtained effortlessly is sattvic.

Food that is pleasing to the tongue and flavorful is rajasic.

Food that is sorrowful and impure is tamasic.

Food offered to me is nirguna.

If one eats with such understanding,

If one eats with the understanding that it has been offered to God, then everything is pure, and it won't be salty or bland.

And if one remains mindful of God's prasad from the first bite to the last, it is called nirguna.

And if I set a limit,

Happiness attained through self-contemplation is sattvic.

Happiness derived from worldly objects is rajasic.

Happiness born of ignorance and misery is tamasic.

The happiness of my true form is nirguna and beyond the gunas.

And it is called the chapter on the division of gunas.

Those related to God.

God's Ekantik, the meaning of Ekantik is also the same.

One-pointed.

Having a relationship with only one God is called Ekantik.

Look,

Swami, I have a question.

Arjuna and the Gopis were both devotees. In the Gopis, 100% devotion is visible.

And Arjuna, for God's mission, sometimes God had to motivate him.

So, are the Gopis greater devotees than Arjuna?

And secondly, how were the Gopis useful in God's mission?

The Gopis' target was not to be used in God's mission.

The Gopis had unparalleled love for God.

What is unparalleled love called?

So, we talked about it one day, didn't we?

Tarpana Ichha and Adi Ichha, Adi Ichha.

If they are separated from God, their soul cannot remain.

That is called Adi Ichha.

Knowledge of separation.

Feeling of separation.

And Tarpana Ichha is to please God in any way.

So that was her Tarpana Ichha, and it was fully present in the Gopis.

Therefore, the Gopis' love for God manifested.

The Gopis did not do any work for God's mission.

It is not mentioned in the scriptures.

But everything is included in it.

The unparalleled love for God that developed in them.

Many times, in a person's life, it's about what platform they got. You can't compare the two platforms.

The Gopis' platform and Arjuna's platform in life are both different.

Rulers and warriors of society. The second of the four varnas (castes) of the ancient Indian social system.Tap to open in glossary →.

So, this is the platform for him.

And the Gopis are women, dependent, and weak.

So, for them, the best platform to connect with God is this.

They can't go to the Mahabharata with a sword.

And they can't go there with an arrow.

So, this is the best platform for them.

The love of the Gopis and the role of that love in the hearts of the Gopis, their most excellent role, is the Gopis themselves.

Arjuna has the most important role in carrying out God's mission.

Both of them are separate.

But both of them are connected with God.

In that, the connection with 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. 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.

Look

In the understanding of both

Is the understanding of both the same or can it be said to be more or less?

How to compare or equate understanding?

Arjuna was 100% devoted to God.

And the Gopis were also 100% devoted, so both are said to have a complete understanding.

Both cannot be said to be the same.

Both are said to be complete.

Both are not the same because the procedure for both is different.

The responsibility of that one and the responsibility of this one, the platform of that one and the platform of this one, both are different.

But it is said that there is no flaw in either.

No flaw is counted in either.

Because Arjuna was totally 100% devoted to God's mission.

And the Gopis were totally 100% devoted to loving God, that much.

So, no one is considered to have a flaw in that.

Look

Victory to Sahajanand Swami Maharaj!
