Vachanamrut Essence

Jetalpur-3

  1. If one harbours impure desires, then one cannot experience the bliss of God even while staying near him.
  2. Methods to eradicate impure desires:
  1. Repeatedly chanting God’s name aloud.
  2. Performing bhakti of God with the knowledge of his greatness and while observing dharma.
  3. Not infringing the five religious vows knowingly; and if infringed unknowingly, then atoning for that sin immediately.
  4. Believing that “I am the ātmā, distinct from the body.”
  5. Not developing an aversion to the divine actions of God.
  1. One should do that which pleases God:
  1. There is nothing greater than this.
  2. That is itself bhakti.
  3. Only then one can attain God.
  1. To worship God with remembrance of the manifest form of God is equal to actually having the darshan of God.
  2. Characteristics of one who is great in Satsang:
  1. Has vairāgya in which he considers all 14 realms to be insignificant.
  2. He has firm conviction of the manifest form of God.
  3. He is oblivious to the world in the waking state just as he is during the state of deep sleep.
