Vachanamrut Essence
Gadhadā II-66
- If a person offends some great devotee of God, his intellect become corrupted; therefore, he perceives faults in devotees without being able to realise his own faults.
- Liberation is attained only by the refuge of God; whereas, spiritual endeavours and following God’s commands are for the purpose of pleasing God.
- The form of the jiva:
- It is characterised by eternal existence, consciousness, and possessing the kāran body.
- It believes the sthul and sukshma bodies to be its own due to ignorance.
- When the jiva attains Akshardhām by worshipping God, by God’s will, the jiva receives a body composed of chaitanya prakruti.
- The means to ensure God and the Sant do not become secondary when one attains a state of enlightenment:
- One should look toward the example of the great Purush’s words and conduct.
- Just as when a man has been accused of something and has no witnesses to disprove the allegation, then he proves his innocence by holding a red-hot iron ball; similarly, if a fault cannot be realised, one should pray to God for the eradication of that fault: “Mahārāj, please be compassionate and destroy whichever faults I may have.”
- If a person has absolute faith in God, then he would never have faith in anyone but God.
- One who has attained God and His Sant:
- His days and nights are spent engrossed in spiritual discourses, devotionals songs, etc.
- He believes himself to be brahmarup.
- He develops an aversion toward objects other than God.
- He discards adharma and abides by dharma.
- When he dies, just like God, he also becomes free form kāl, karma, and māyā, and forever resides in the service of God.
