એટલે બોજો લાગતો નથી...

લંડનના યુવકોએ શિબિરમાં સ્વામીશ્રીને એક પ્રશ્ન પૂછ્યો : 'આટલી પ્રવૃત્તિ કરવા છતાં આપ ફ્રેશ રહો છો તેનું રહસ્ય શું છે ?'
સ્વામીશ્રીએ કહ્યું : 'શ્રીજીમહારાજની આજ્ઞાથી કરીએ છીએ, ગુરુના આદેશથી કરીએ છીએ. એટલે ગમે તેટલી પ્રવૃત્તિ છે તો પણ માથે લેતા નથી, જે પરિણામ આવે છે તે ભગવાનની ઇચ્છાથી આવે છે એટલે કોઈ જાતનો બોજો લાગતો નથી...'

Kãriyãni-6: The Roots of Matsar (Jealousy)

Again Muktãnand Swãmi asked, "What causes matsar?"

Shriji Mahãrãj replied, "There are three causes of matsar: women, wealth and sumptuous food. But for one who does not have any of these three, egotism is the cause of matsar…"

1879	26 Sep 1823	Friday	Vachanamrut Gadhada II-38 In this Vachanamrut, Shriji Maharaj praises the virtues of Macha Bhakta, "Prior to joining the Satsang fellowship, he was in the Margi sect. However, in no way did he lapse in his observance of the vow of non-lust; instead, he remained a celibate from his childhood."

1882	22 Sep 1826	Friday	Vachanamrut Gadhada III-7 Shriji Maharaj asserts, "A devotees should firmly keep his mind at the holy feet of God. Just as an iron nail that is firmly affixed to an iron surface can never be separated, similarly, one’s mind should be fixed firmly at the holy feet of God. When the devotee has kept his mind at the holy feet of God in this manner, he does not have to die to attain the abode of God – he has attained it while still alive.”
