Din Din Diwali..

“Mãyã, in the form of the antahkaran, does not cause misery to a person who thoroughly understands the greatness of God and has an absolutely firm refuge of God; but it does cause misery to a person who does not have such a refuge. For example, a kusangi would attempt to dislodge only an irresolute satsangi, but no one would dare to dislodge a staunch satsangi. In fact, no one would be able to speak ill of Satsang in his presence.

Similarly, mãyã, in the form of the antahkaran, would never entertain a desire to daunt a person who has a firm refuge in God. Rather, it would help his bhakti to flourish. However, mãyã does deflect a person who has a slight deficiency in his refuge in God and does cause him misery. Then, when that person develops a complete refuge in God, mãyã is not able to disturb him or cause him pain.

 

Therefore, the answer is that if a person has such complete faith in God, mãyã is not capable of causing him misery.”

 

-Lord Swaminarayan, Vachanamrut Loya 10

Paramatma inspires us from within. We feel we have done everything. But we are not capable of doing anything – not even moving a dry leaf. We feel that nothing happens without us because of our ego.

 

If the Paramatma within our body departs, this body only becomes a corpse. Hands, feet, organs may all be present, but they are incapable of doing anything. It is because of Paramatma within that we are able to walk, talk, speak and enjoy each other’s company.

 

[Same divine blessings, Lord Swaminarayan gives in Vachanamrut Loya 10 on 13/12/1820 :-) & also Swamishri tells about this to reflect deeply in centerparcs blessings :-) ]

 

God is the source of everything...

 

-- Pramukh Swami Maharaj describing Glory of God on 12/12/1995, Amrut Mahotsav of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, Bombay.

 

"The root of all bliss is God and to forget God is the root of all problems."

 

- Pramukh Swami Maharaj.

 

Also, same Gunatitanand Swami says in Swamini Vaatu :-) He says,

"Harek vaatma, kriyama suji ave, te Maharajni prerna em samajvu." ...4/129.

 

..

"માટે પાકો હરિભક્ત હોય તેને પોતાના જ અવગુણ સુઝે, પણ બીજા હરિભક્તના દોષને તો દેખે જ નહિ.”

 

- ભગવાન શ્રી સ્વામિનારાયણ, વચનામૃતમ્ ગઢડા મઘ્યનું ૪૪
