બ્રહ્મરૂપ થવાનો પ્રોગ્રામ...

(તા. ૧૯-૫-૨૦૦૮, સારંગપુર)
ભોજન દરમ્યાન કમ્પ્યૂટરની ચમત્કૃતિની વાતો ચાલી રહી હતી. આ બધી ચમત્કૃતિની વાતોને અંતે વિવેકસાગર સ્વામી કહે, 'એક બ્રહ્મરૂપ થવાનો પ્રોગ્રામ જો આવી જાય તો સારામાં સારું થઈજાય.'
સ્વામીશ્રી મંદ હસતાં હસતાં કહે, 'ભગવાને એક વસ્તુ પોતાની પાસે જ રાખી મૂકી છે. એમના સિવાય એ શક્ય જ નથી.'

Gadhadã I-60: Means to Eradicating Worldly Desires

Thereupon Muktãnand Swãmi asked, "What are the means to eradicate worldly desires?"

Shriji Mahãrãj replied, "Firstly, one requires firm ãtmã-realisation; secondly, one should realise the insignificance of the panchvishays; and thirdly, one should realise the profound greatness of God; i.e., 'God is the master of all abodes - Vaikunth, Golok, Brahmamahol, etc. So, having attained that God, why should I have affection for the pleasures of the vishays, which are futile?' One should think of God's greatness in this manner."

[Gadhadã I-60]

1876	19 Dec 1819	Sunday	Vachanamrut Gadhada I-20 Shriji Maharaj reveals how a devotee can overcome all deficiencies, “For a person who has attained satsang, realisation of his jivatma does, indeed, lie in his own hands. In fact, when has he attempted to see his own self and failed to see it? Having become dependent to and made helpless by maya, that jiva draws within and enters the dream and deep sleep states, but never does it draw within of its own accord to see its own self. On the other hand, one who contemplates on the greatness of God and draws within oneself sees one’s own self as extremely pure and luminous. In the midst of that luminance, one beholds the form of the manifest Purushottam Bhagwan and experiences bliss in the manner of Narad and the Sanakadik. Therefore, all deficiencies which do remain in a devotee are due to his own lethargy.”

1885	7 Jan 1829	Wednesday	Vachanamrut Gadhada III-29 Shriji Maharaj states the understanding devotees should develop so that duties are sincerely performed, “In our Satsang fellowship, since all of the males, females and paramhansas are attached to me, all the other females observe religious vows to the same extent as the two or three senior women. Why? Because in their mind, they realise, ‘If we do not remain alert and observe the religious vows, the love which Maharaj has for us will not remain, and He will become displeased.’ The paramhansas also behave in the same manner. In fact, it is the same for all of the other satsangis, brahmacharis and parshads. All of the male and female devotees living far and wide are also alert in observing the religious vows; they too feel, ‘If we do not behave properly, Maharaj will become displeased.’ Thus, all of them staunchly observe dharma out of affection for me, even though they may possess vairagya to a greater or lesser degree.”
