Jetalpur Section Vach. 3 Vachanamrut Rahasyarth Pradeepika Tika

I shall now state the manner for a disciple to assimilate only the virtues and eliminate the demerits. If the disciple thinks, ‘what was I like before I became affiliated with the Satsang? I was dominated by Kaal and past deeds (karma), and the cycle of repeated births and deaths of the 8.4 million lives. God has freed me from that and made me fearless, granted me great virtues and made me eminent. How can I demerit that God? Leaving aside whatever pleases the Lord, how can I wish to do what pleases me?’ With such thoughts, he does not perceive any kind of demerit in God. Only then does he become contented. There is nothing greater than doing whatever pleases God with this very body. That itself is devotion. It is through such means that God is attained. Therefore, one should discard pride (maan), jealousy (irsha), lust (kam), anger (krodh) and greed (lobh), which are detrimental to salvation. Amongst these, pride is the most despicable of all. Look! If there is some deficiency in any of the other vartmans, one may be able to survive in the Satsang, but someone with pride will never be able to survive. Oh sants! You must never allow any kind of blemish to occur in your vartman of being devoid of pride. You must remain extremely vigilant about this and should realise that your form is distinct from the body. With the utmost of relentless vigilance, you must continue to perform devotion to Shree Purushottam, i.e. Nar- Narayan. With a continuous contemplation, you should worship God. Such bliss is equivalent to the pragat darshan of God.
