Vachanamrut Essence

Gadhadā I-20

1. The jiva indulges in a countless variety of vishays, but:

1. It does not indulge in the bliss of its own self, nor does it know its own nature.
2. Therefore, it is the most ignorant of the ignorant, senseless of the senseless, most foolish of the fools and vilest of the vile.

2. For a person who has attained satsang, realisation of his jivātmā lies in his own hands.
3. One who contemplates on the greatness of God and draws within oneself sees one’s own self as extremely pure and luminous; and in the midst of that luminance, one beholds the form of the manifest Purushottam Bhagwān.
4. All deficiencies, which remain in a devotee, are due to his own lethargy.
