Gadhada I-18: Denouncing the Vishays; A Haveli

Summary

1. Without vartan [as described by Shriji Mahārāj in this Vachanamrut and in 3b], even by listening to, or studying and understanding the meanings of the four Vedas, six Shāstras, eighteen Purāns, and the Mahābhārat and other Itihās scriptures, one cannot become a mukta.
2. The disturbance that a bhakta of God experiences in his heart is due to complacency of the antahkaran and the impure indulgences [vishays] of the indriyas.
3. Shriji Mahārāj is pleased with one who understands the following and acts accordingly; and he becomes a mukta and will reach Akshardhām:

1. If the indulgences of the five indriyas are impure, then the antahkaran will become polluted.
2. If the indulgences of the five indriyas are pure, then the antahkaran will remain pure and one will be able to constantly remember God.
3. By associating with kusang, one’s intellect becomes polluted. Conversely, the company of Bhagwan and Sant purifies one’s intellect.
4. No one has remained uninfluenced whilst associating with kusang; therefore, association with kusang should be shunned.
5. Shriji Mahārāj is God and He is extremely pure [unaffected by impure vishays].
6. All actions of Shriji Mahārāj are for the liberation of the jivas; therefore, no one should imitate his actions.

4. If one does not understand the above and act accordingly, then:

1. He will not go to God’s abode.
2. He will be reborn as a ghost or a demon and will have to suffer.
