Gadhada Middle Section, Vach. 9

The path of spiritual knowledge (gnan) should be understood in such a way, that God’s Murti is never betrayed in any manner. At times, if the command of God is being contravened, one should not be concerned, but one must never allow the Murti of God to be betrayed. If God’s command has been breached in some manner, it can be pardoned by praying to God. However, if someone has betrayed the Murti of God, there is no way of being freed from that. An understanding person should certainly continue to abide by the commands of God according to his capacity. He must also intensely maintain this resolve for God’s Murti in the following manner: ‘The Murti of God that I have attained is supreme.’ If someone has realised this, even if he has left the Satsang, he does not cease having affection for the Murti of God. Consequently, he may be outside of the Satsang at present, but after leaving his body, he will ultimately go to God’s Akshardham - to the vicinity of God.
