Vachanamrut Essence
Gadhadā I-57
- Extraordinary means to attain liberation: the knowledge of God’s form and the knowledge of God’s greatness.
- Two ways one develops affection for God:
- Love that develops due to blind faith [i.e. not applying any logic].
- Love that develops by realising God’s greatness – this is the best of all the ways.
- Means to eradicate inappropriate swabhāvs:
- Develop an intense yearning for Satsang.
- Maintain enmity toward the swabhāvs that hinder one in practicing satsang.
- Think about one’s ātmā: the jiva is more powerful than the mind and the indriyas, therefore, whatever the jiva desires can be achieved.
