Disciple Nath from Vadodra then asked Shreejimaharaj a question. “If a disciple of God has a firm determination about God, do his relatives attain salvation because of their relationship with that disciple, or not?” Shreejimaharaj replied, “If those relatives and ancestors have affection for that disciple, they do attain salvation. However, if they do not have affection for him, they do not. Even if a person is not a relative, if he has affection for that disciple, he also stands to gain. This is because at the time of his death, he may remember the disciple, as a result of which, he remembers that the disciple’s inclination (vrutti) is relentlessly focussed on God and therefore, he attains salvation.”
