TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
Here, GOD Himself has described the glory of narration of GOD in His words. GOD says that His narrations purify all the worlds and are the means of the welfare of the creature. Therefore, we must listen to the narrations of GOD daily with reverence. We must sing and remember the Holy pastimes of the incarnation period of GOD. GOD can destroy the wicked by sitting in His dwelling with just a thought but GOD takes incarnation to grace the devotees and to perform Holy pastimes. Singing these Holy pastimes becomes an accurate means to destroy the sins and for the welfare of a creature.
Therefore, the creature must sing and listen to the Holy pastimes of GOD daily.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Listening and singing the Holy pastimes of GOD blesses the devotees.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD says that the creature should always be dependent on GOD. There should not be any higher goal of the creature than surrendering to GOD. We should undertake the Dharma (religion), Karma (deeds) and Artha (wealth) only for GOD. The creature who is able to do so achieves the loving devotion of GOD. Devotion is such means that leads us to GOD and brings us into His shelter. GOD immediately adopts the person who takes the shelter of GOD by devotion and becomes dependent on GOD while living in the world.
Therefore, the creature should take the shelter of GOD by undertaking His devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must always surrender to GOD and must remain dependent on Him.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD says that devotion is attained through Satsang (Religious discourse). When we listen about devotion in Satsang then love towards GOD arises in our heart. Then we are attracted towards GOD and we try to attain GOD through devotion. When we attain the devotion of GOD then we start worshipping GOD. When we continuously walk on the devotional path we start experiencing the contiguity of GOD. Devotion teaches us to visualize GOD everywhere. A true devotee views GOD in all living and non-living things. The devotee views the world as full of GOD.
Therefore, a creature must undertake devotion and achieve the contiguity of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A devotee visualizes GOD everywhere.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
Shri Uddhavji asked GOD what are the characteristics of a devotee, then GOD told him several characteristics. Among those, one characteristic is that the devotees only trust GOD. A devotee has tremendous faith in GOD. Even in the biggest calamity, his faith in GOD never diminishes even a little bit. It is common among all the devotees that they trusted only GOD. They considered the world as an instrument but as a giver, they always saw GOD. The one who trusts only GOD, GOD does everything for him. GOD showers His grace and mercy on such devotees forever.
Therefore, the creatures must keep trust only and only in GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must have complete trust in GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD says that the creature should dedicate his dearest thing to GOD. The creature comes into this world and slowly he gets entangled in the fascination of different things. Some things are very dear to him and he cannot imagine his life without them. True devotion is that GOD should be most dear to us and we must happily dedicate our dearest thing to GOD. When GOD observes that we have dedicated our dearest thing to Him, He becomes happy. It is our submission to GOD that other than GOD nothing is dear to us. Then GOD graces us and makes our dearest thing infinite times more fruitful.
Therefore, the creature must dedicate his dearest thing to GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Nothing in the world should be dearer to us than GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
In this verse, GOD has stated the glory of Satsang (Religious discourse). Satsang destroys all the indulgence of this world. GOD is not as pleased with yoga, religious observance, self-study, austerity, sacrifice, fasting, charity, yagna, pilgrimage and rules as much as He is with Satsang. GOD says that it is not related to one era, it is applicable to all eras. By Satsang even demons, monsters, animals, birds, human beings, and people of Rajoguni and Tamoguni nature have also attained GOD. GOD has given a long list of those who have attained GOD through the influence of Satsang. After giving the list, GOD said that there are many more who have reached GOD due to Satsang and have been blessed. With Satsang, we can seek GOD with utmost ease.
The glory of Satsang is immense and the creature should take advantage of Satsang to engage his mind in GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- In order to have a union with GOD, Satsang leads us to the devotional path.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
How much Gopis love GOD, GOD Himself describes this fact here in His words. GOD says that as the rivers lose their name and form after their union with the ocean, similarly, Gopis even forgot their existence in the divine love of GOD. Gopis became so engrossed in GOD’s ultimate love that they even forgot about this world, the hereafter, the body, the husband and the son. Even after the separation from GOD, Gopis still contemplated GOD. GOD also remembered Gopis while staying far away and remained bound in their love.
Devotee and GOD have such a relationship that the devotee remains absorbed in GOD and GOD remains absorbed in the devotee.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- There is a reciprocal love between GOD and His devotees.

GOD says that like threads are imbued in a cloth, similarly, the entire world is imbued with GOD. There is no existence of cloth without thread but the thread can leave without the cloth also. Similarly, there is no existence of this world without GOD but when the world is not there GOD remains alone. This world is the form of GOD because without GOD there is no existence of this world. Therefore, Scriptures and saints have seen this world full of GOD and in every living and non-living thing they visualized GOD.
Devotion gives us the vision to view GOD in the entire world.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

Here GOD says a very important thing. GOD says that in reality there is only one GOD. GOD takes many forms but in reality, He is only one. Therefore, when we undertake devotion and worship of GOD in any form they all reach to only one GOD. Today there are different religions and under those religions, there are different creeds. But all religions and creeds only have to reach one GOD. Therefore, it does not matter by which religion or by which creed we go because at last we have to reach only one GOD.
We should never forget that all forms of GOD are one.

GOD says that the religion by which Satvgun is increased is the best. Religion which increases Satvgun reduces Rajogun and Tamogun. When Rajogun and Tamogun are reduced then the unrighteousness caused by them also vanishes. Therefore, we should only consume virtuous things so that it increases Satvgun. When Satvgun is increased then the creature receives the devotion of GOD. The tendency of devotion will develop in the creature only when Satvgun increases.
Therefore, the creature must keep a virtuous daily routine so that he can proceed on the devotional path.

GOD says that the seeker must try to engage his mind in GOD slowly and carefully according to his power and time. GOD says that while exercising like this, the seeker should not panic at his failures but should engage himself in the same practice with more enthusiasm. When we try to concentrate our mind on GOD, our mind runs towards the world. We should make a constant effort to pull our mind out of it and put it in GOD. Once the mind starts to rest in GOD, then the seeker will feel so much ecstasy that his mind will never go into the boring world again.
Therefore, the practice of engaging the mind in GOD should be started as soon as possible.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD says that the devotee who has surrendered his heart to GOD in all ways, experiences ecstasy, which the desirous creatures cannot find in any way. Such devotees always experience the contiguity of GOD and experience complete satisfaction every time and for them, all the corners of this world are full of ecstasy. GOD says that those devotees who have devoted themselves to GOD they do not want the post of GOD Shree Brahmaji or even the post of king of Deities Shri Indraji. They neither have the wish to become an emperor nor do they want to become the owner of Rasatal which is even better than heaven. These devotees do not have the desire for siddhis (accomplishments) and even salvation.
GOD says that GOD loves such loving devotees so much that even He does not love His own soul that much.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD loves His devotees more than Himself.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
Here GOD has stated with paramount importance the glory of devotees who are devoted to GOD. We cannot think beyond of the feeling that GOD has expressed in this verse for His devotees. How much GOD loves His devotees and how much He honors them, it is to be seen here. GOD says that that devotee who forgets everything and only and only remains absorbed in meditation and contemplation of GOD, GOD constantly follows that devotee. GOD walks behind them with the thinking that the dust of the feet of that devotee should fly on to GOD and GOD becomes pure. GOD is the true idol of purity, and the Deities and all the creatures of the universe are eager to achieve the dust of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD for purification. Yet GOD expresses such emotion that reveals the glory of devotion.
GOD always gives a lot of respect to His devotee and there is no one dearer to GOD than His devotee.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD honors His devotees and holds them in high esteem.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD has expressed how much change GOD’s devotion can bring in a creature in this verse. GOD says that the seeker who has just started walking on the devotional path and has not been able to win over his senses, worldly subjects pull him again and again and attract him. But if that seeker does not leave the devotional path and continuously proceed on that path, then he defeats the worldly subjects by the ever-increasing devotion. Devotion is so powerful that the worldly subjects do not entice the seeker undertaking devotion.
Therefore, the creature must adopt devotion in life and turn his life towards GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The devotion of GOD ensures our win over worldly subjects.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
In this verse, GOD states the glory of devotion. GOD says that just as a blazing fire burns a large pile of wood and converts it into ash, the devotion of GOD completely burns away all the sins of the creature. The capability of devotion is so great that the sins of the devotee are automatically destroyed and that soul becomes pure. This is because the devotion dedicates the devotee to the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD and this is only possible when the soul becomes pure after getting rid of sins.
Therefore, in order to be free from sins and to gain the contiguity of GOD, we must undertake the devotion of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The devotion of GOD frees us from sins.

GOD renders this fact here that devotion is the best in all the means. GOD says that yoga, knowledge, religious rituals, chanting, reading, tenacity, renunciation, etc., are not equally capable of attaining GOD as much as devotion is. GOD becomes pleased so soon with daily increasing unique loving devotion that no other means has such capability. Therefore, the means of devotion is best and superior to all other means. Therefore, we should keep devotion as the main means because devotion has the capability to attain GOD.
Therefore, the creatures must move forward on the devotional path and try to attain GOD in life.

In order to attain GOD, GOD clearly renders devotion here. GOD says that the creature can attain Him only by unique reverence and unique devotion. GOD clearly says here that this is the only way to attain GOD. Devotion is the only means to attain GOD and hence it is the supreme of all means.

With any means, it is very necessary to take the adherence of devotion but devotion is so much capable that it alone can lead us to GOD. Devotion does not require any support of any other means.
Therefore, the creature should make his life devotional so that he can reach GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Uddhavji.
GOD says that the creature who undertakes devotion becomes free from the desires and attains GOD. As the devotion of GOD increases, the dirt of the mind is washed away. Without devotion, our mind contemplates the subjects and gets stuck in the subjects. But the person who contemplates GOD with devotion, his mind is absorbed in GOD. If that happens then the worldly subjects and desires cannot drag him towards them. The best means to be free from worldly subjects and desires is the devotion of GOD.
Devotees are so much attracted towards GOD that the attraction of the world becomes secondary for them.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
