Jetalpur Section Vach. 4 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

You may question, ‘if God has been attained and a constant contemplation about Him also remains, what is the purpose of abiding by the vartmans?’ Here is a retort to that. One individual obediently abides by the vartmans whilst another has some deficiency in him. I shall state how much of a difference exists between these two individuals. Both have a remembrance of God. However, the person who does not observe the vows or abide by the religious decree gains only his own salvation. Other souls cannot gain salvation through him. Moreover, he cannot become an Ekantik disciple nor attain the nirgun abode of God. He becomes free from the cycle of birth and death, but is unable to persist in the Satsang.
