TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - When we listen to the auspicious narration of GOD, we become aware of truth. Only GOD is the truth in this world. When this knowledge is awakened inside us, the veil of ignorance is removed.
We give up our fondness which has become firm due to ignorance in body, wealth, relatives etc. After achieving knowledge we try to strengthen our eternal relationship with GOD.
Therefore, we should regularly listen to the auspicious narration of GOD so that our wisdom-eyes can be opened and ignorance can be destroyed.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should listen to the auspicious narration of GOD so that it develops our wisdom for establishing an eternal relationship with GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The verse stating the grandeur of GOD and displaying the grandeur of GOD. Shri Parikshitji was aware of GOD’s grandeur therefore, he asked this question to Vyasnandan GOD Shri Shukdevji.
Just as the children create a mud house in their play and destroy it after the play is over, similarly, GOD also creates the universes and destroys them. It is the Holy pastimes of GOD and it is very difficult even for great scholars to understand this secret.
The basic gist is that the grandeur of GOD is so immense that creating and destroying the universes is just child-like play for Him. As the children create mud houses and destroy them easily and effortlessly, similarly, GOD also creates the universes and destroys them with the same ease.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Two things are said in the verse. Firstly, GOD removes the sorrows of gentle people. Secondly, GOD bestows the donation of love to them.
GOD is always ready to remove the sorrows of gentle people. Sorrow also comes in the life of gentle people as a result of their past deeds of previous lives but when they take the shelter of GOD, GOD removes their sorrows.
GOD is the biggest giver. GOD donates many things but the biggest donation He gives is His love. The one who receives the gift of GOD’s love is most fortunate.
We must also engage ourselves in the devotion of GOD and must pray to GOD for His gift of love.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - This verse is dear to me because it describes the glory of devotion.
The verse tells us two things. Firstly, GOD is very Bhaktvatsal (who cares for devotees). Secondly, those who undertake means devoid of devotion can never even touch the shadow of GOD.
GOD is very caring for His devotees. He nurtures the devotees like a father. GOD loves His devotees like a father. Such is the grandeur of devotion. But those who are atheist or who undertakes means devoid of devotion, can never even touch the shadow of GOD. Therefore, devotion is the best and only means to reach GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Without devotion, we cannot attain GOD because devotion is the best and only means to attain GOD.
