Vachanamrut Essence

Gadhadā II-39

1. Shriji Mahārāj speaks about His own natural virtues for the sake of revealing the ideals of a devotee:

1. He does not harbour any desires for panchvishays.
2. Regardless of how much pravrutti He is involved in, He still experiences profound bliss within.
3. He has a very strong conviction that God possesses a divine form and is the all-doer.
4. He becomes pleased only when He sees a genuine devotee of God and is only comfortable with such a person.

2. The senior devotees must absolutely observe the vow of non-lust, because the example set by the seniors is what is followed by everyone else.
3. The essence of the tenth canto of the Shrimad Bhāgwat: God that is mentioned in the scriptures if the very manifest God before you.
4. The essence of the fifth canto of the Shrimad Bhāgwat:

1. One should understand the greatness of the manifest form of God.
2. God assumes different forms [murtis] to bestow bliss upon His devotees.
3. One should abide by the niyams prescribed by God.

5. By narrating or listening to the divine incidents of God, one attains the highest state of enlightenment.
6. By believing God to be formless, one incurs a sin greater than the five grave sins.
7. If a person who realises God to possess a form with firm conviction happens to commit a sin, by the grace of God, all of those sins will be burnt and his jiva will attain God.
