Vachanamrut Essence
Gadhadā II-25
- When the renunciant who has worldly desires passes away, he will become a wealthy householder either in this Mrutyulok or in Devlok, where he will attain an abundance of vishays to indulge in. He will eventually develop vairāgya towards them; and then, feeling guilty in his mind, he will engage in the worship of God, become free of worldly desires and attain the abode of God.
- Even though the householder has contact with a woman (his wife) and wealth, if he is free of worldly desires, he will attain the abode of God.
- If one becomes addicted to serving God and His Sant to the extent that one would not be able to stay for even a moment without serving them, then all of the impure desires in one's antahkaran will be destroyed.
- The means to extremely please God:
- Just as a poor householder is loving and humble with the Sant, he remains loving and humble if he were to attain the kingdom of Indralok or Brahmalok.
- Even after attaining powers similar to those possessed by God, if he can continue to menially serve all sādhus in exactly the same manner as he did when he was new and timid…
- Not impose one’s authority upon other sādhus or compete with them.
