Vachanamrut Essence

Sārangpur-2

  1. The mutual love that develops from the virtues of speech, deeds, and mind will not dissolve.
  1. How should one behave with their speech:
  1. One should not hurt any living being with one’s speech.
  2. One should purposely accept defeat before God and senior sādhus.
  3. If a command by God or His great Sant seems inappropriate and leads to doubts, then one should, humbly and with bhakti, compromise with them or have a senior sādhu reach a compromise with them; but one should not immediately refuse to abide by it.
  1. How should one behave physically:
  1. One should weaken the body by engaging in worship or by observing the chāndrāyan vow; but one should not take care of one’s own body.
  2. One should physically serve God and His devotees.
  1. Regarding virtues of the mind, one should behave this way: One should do darshan of God with an attentive mind and concentrated vision and internalise that form exactly as it is in one’s heart.
  1. When one does darshan or listens while keeping an attentive mind and a fixed gaze:
  1. One feels divinity of God in their mind.
  2. The darshan and discourses remains novel.
  3. The mind becomes stable.
  1. When one does not do darshan or does not listen while keeping an attentive mind and a fixed gaze:
  1. God and the Sant are not pleased.
  2. He declines from satsang day by day.
  3. He forgets the darshan he has done or discourses he has heard.
  1. One should reprimand one’s eyes and ears to keep them under control whilst doing darshan of God.
