બ્રહ્મસ્વરૂપ પ્રમુખસ્વામી મહારાજની પ્રેરક પ્રસંગ-સ્મૃતિઓ
તા. 13-12-2010, મુંબઈ
અમેરિકાથી કનુભાઈ પટેલ(સી.ઈ.ઓ.)નો ફોન આવ્યો. આજે સ્વામીશ્રીના 90મા જન્મદિવસે આશીર્વાદ માગવાની તેઓની ઇચ્છા હતી.
કનુભાઈ કહે : ‘આજે આપનાં દર્શન થયાં (આસ્થા ચેનલ દ્વારા), પણ શરૂઆતમાં અવાજ બરાબર ન હતો, પણ દર્શન થયાં.’
સ્વામીશ્રી કહે : ‘એમાં ધર્મ, જ્ઞાન, વૈરાગ્ય, ભક્તિ બધું જ આવી ગયું.’

Gadhadã I-21:
On False Relations
"Furthermore, this body should not be believed to be one's true self. Nor should one's bodily relations be regarded as one's true relations. This is because the jiva has previously taken birth in each of the 8.4 million life forms. In fact, the jiva has taken birth in the wombs of all females in this world; it has also taken birth numerous times in the wombs of all of the dogs, cats, monkeys and other types of life forms in the cycle of 8.4 million life forms. Moreover, of all the different types of females in this world, which has it not previously made its wife? All have been its wife at one time or another. Similarly, assuming numerous female bodies, that jiva has also made all of the different forms of males its husband. Hence, just as one does not believe the relations of those previous 8.4 million life forms to be one's true relations, and just as one does not believe the bodies of those 8.4 million life forms to be one's true body, similarly, one should not believe this present body to be one's true self, nor should one believe the relations of this body to be one's true relations."
