TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

Here GOD renders a fact. GOD describes devotion as bigger than salvation.

Whose mind is engaged in GOD and who concentrates on GOD, devotion arises inside him. Devotion holds the supreme place and it is much bigger than salvation. Salvation is considered to be the maid of devotion. The true devotee automatically receives salvation, he does not need to demand it. But a true devotee never demands salvation, he continuously seeks only devotion because devotion gives ecstasy. To enjoy devotion, devotees reject salvation.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. True devotees only seek devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

GOD says that His true devotee only demands His devotion. His devotee never demands salvation or supreme position. But the glory of devotion is so much that despite not seeking it, devotion automatically gives them the supreme position.

Devotees never need to ask or demand something. They automatically get everything. It is an eternal principle.

Therefore, life should be devoted to GOD and our continuous efforts should be made in this direction.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

Those who have made only GOD as their everything and those who live in the shelter of GOD, those devotees go to the dwelling of GOD. There all the divine enjoyments are available to them, they are not devoid of pleasures. Even GOD's time wheel does not affect such devotees.

Therefore, we should try to make GOD everything in our life. Only GOD should be our teacher, father, friend, Deity and everything. Those devotees who have accepted GOD as their everything, go to the dwelling of GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. With GOD, we should keep all our relations.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata during His preach.

One who leaves his body, money, wealth, house and other collections and undertakes GOD’s worship and devotion, GOD let him cross the deathlike worldly ocean.

It is GOD’s vow to let the devotees cross the worldly ocean. GOD has rendered the same principle in His preaching here.

Only GOD’s exclusive devotion is the sole resource that can help us in crossing the deathlike worldly ocean. Otherwise, we again get trapped in the cycle of birth and death. We have to come again in the world in the form of any species as per our deeds. GOD’s exclusive devotion is the only way to escape from this.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. By undertaking devotion of GOD, we can easily cross the deathlike worldly ocean.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata during His preach.

A principle is rendered here. Death is the greatest fear, everyone believes so and everyone is afraid of death. GOD says that without taking the shelter of GOD we cannot get freedom from this great fear. There is no other way from which we can become free from this greatest fear of death.

By the devotion of GOD fear of death goes away because a devotee knows that at the last moment he will receive the contiguity of GOD and he will be blessed.

Therefore, we should take shelter of GOD in our life and should undertake devotion of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.

Knowledge and Reclusion are considered as the sons of Bhakti Mata (devotion). So the devotion which contains knowledge and reclusion gives true peace. To achieve such peace and to be fearless, Yogis take the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by devotion with knowledge and reclusion.

Saints believe that peace resides in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. But we search for peace in this world where it is not available.

We can attain peace by taking the shelter of the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD by undertaking devotion. It is an eternal principle.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We can only attain peace through devotion towards GOD.

To devote our body, mind and wealth to GOD by devotion is the biggest achievement of human life. GOD renders this fact in the above verse.

Therefore, we should undertake GOD’s devotion in our life and should focus our attention towards GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - We should contemplate GOD recognizing Him by the knowledge acquired by devotion, reclusion and concentration of mind that GOD is in our soul.

GOD resides in our conscience in one form. We should search for GOD inside us rather than outside. In search of GOD we need to be introverted. GOD first appeared to devotee Shri Dhruvji for the first time in his conscience and then when he opened his eyes he saw the same vision outside.

Therefore, we should contemplate GOD by recognizing that He is inside us.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should become introvert in search of GOD.

Our mind is engaged in thinking about earthly subjects. Our mind thinks about this world and worldly subjects. GOD says that an intelligent person is one who engages his mind in GOD rather than in worldly things. The means to control the mind is intense devotion and detachment from this world. GOD says that we can control our fickle mind slowly by intense devotion and reclusion.

Therefore, we should undertake devotion of GOD and engage our mind in the contemplation of GOD. This is also the key to the success of human life.

GOD says that those who keep the mind concentrated in GOD, who keep true emotions for GOD, who listen to the narration of GOD and who never see anything else other than GOD, such implicit person get an audience with GOD by their true inner nature. By getting an audience with GOD they achieve a unique supreme position.

The ultimate goal of human life should be to seek an audience with GOD and we should try in this direction by undertaking devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata during His preach.

Those who have attained self-knowledge, they continuously engage their mind in GOD. As a sleeping person is never harmed by the dream he saw while sleeping, similarly, GOD says that those who have engaged their mind in GOD, such self-enlightened saints are never harmed by nature.

To engage the mind in GOD by the way of devotion is the best way to escape from all the unfavorableness. We engage our mind in this world and remain sad. All we have to do is to engage our mind in GOD. GOD had said this to Shri Arjunji in Shrimad Bhagavad Geetaji also that we should give our mind to GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We must focus our mind on GOD.

Those who slowly concentrate their mind in GOD by worshipping Him, by thinking about His Holy pastimes and by engaging their mind in Him, they get blessed.

GOD has denominated the human mind as wicked and misguided. Human nature is as same as denominated by GOD. But gradually we should concentrate our mind and should engage it in GOD. GOD has given such a preach in the above verse.

We should always try to concentrate our mind on GOD by undertaking devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

Here a fact is rendered that on whom we should meditate. GOD says that we should consider GOD in the form of an idol in front of us and meditate on Him. We should meditate on the Lotus face, Divine eyes, body, Divine hands and Divine Lotus Feet of GOD. We should meditate on each and every divine organ of GOD. Every divine organ of GOD is so pleasant that we should only meditate on them one by one.

The clue is that only GOD is worthy to be meditated so yogis and devotees should meditate only on GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

Two facts are worth noting here. First, GOD is eager to bless His devotees. It is GOD's nature to bless devotees. When we approach GOD we are certain to receive His blessings. Just as it is certain that GOD Shri SuryaNarayanji (Sun GOD) will give light, similarly, it is certain that GOD will give His blessings. The need is simply to reach GOD by devotion.

Secondly, GOD is not only worshipped in this world but He is worshipped in this entire universe. GOD is worshipped on every planet and in every era and at all times. Only GOD is worshipped everywhere. The glory of GOD is spread over the entire universe. So He is worshipped continuously everywhere. We should also devote our life to worshipping GOD. We should develop a habit of worshipping GOD in our life.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. GOD is always eager to bless His devotees.
  2. Only GOD is worshipped everywhere and at all times.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

It is said to meditate on the Divine eyes of GOD and the glory of GOD’s divine eyes is also described here. GOD’s divine eyes are worthy of meditation and they shower love and blessing. As we meditate on the divine eyes of GOD, the love and blessing in them increase every moment. Visualizing the divine eyes of GOD pacifies all the three heats of the devotees.

Therefore, through meditation, we should visualize the divine eyes of GOD. When we go to the temple, we should visualize the divine eyes of GOD because visualizing them is auspicious in all respects.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should meditate and visualize the divine eyes of GOD.

We should meditate on GOD in such a way that during meditation and after meditation no desire should remain inside us to visualize anyone other than GOD. GOD’s beautiful image should be engraved inside our heart in such a way that the desire to see anything else ends.

Our mind is always eager to see the world but by means of meditation, we should bring the image of GOD in our heart so that the desire to see the world ends.

In this world, it is only GOD to be seen and meditated upon, so we should never wish to visualize anything else other than GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should meditate and visualize on GOD and nothing else.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.

GOD has stated three categories of devotees. A person who loves GOD with the attitude of anger, violence and arrogance is a Tamas devotee. A person who worships GOD with the desire of worldly attachments, fame and opulence is a Rajas devotee.

But the person who worships GOD to wash away his sins and to offer it to GOD considering it as his duty is a Satvik devotee i.e. the best devotee. We should worship GOD by selflessness, and by considering it as our duty and this work done for GOD should be done by offering it to GOD.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. We should worship GOD as a duty.

GOD says that as the flow of Shri Gangaji (Holy River) flawlessly goes towards the ocean, similarly, those who only listen to the divine qualities of GOD, their mind gets attracted towards GOD. They start loving GOD selflessly and exclusively. These are the characteristics of devotion.

Loving GOD selflessly and exclusively is the superiority of devotion. Selflessly means loving GOD without any desire. We should love GOD selflessly without desiring money, sons, grandsons, pleasure and wealth. Secondly, exclusive love means loving only and only GOD with full heart. If devotion is true, selflessness and exclusivity both come automatically in GOD’s love.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. If we listen to the divine qualities of GOD, our mind gets attracted to GOD and we truly start loving Him.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata in His preach.

GOD states the superiority of a selfless devotee that he does not want anything except GOD’s service. He refuses to reside in the dwelling of GOD when given the opportunity. He refuses even GOD like luxury, GOD like beauty and even refuses salvation, when offered.

Selfless devotion is the best devotion. After reaching there nothing is needed from GOD, only GOD is sought from GOD. Those who have attained GOD have achieved Him only because of selfless devotion.

The selfless devotee only wants GOD and wants to serve GOD. The life in which selfless devotion enters, that life becomes blessed.

GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
  1. From GOD, we must not seek anything apart from GOD through devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.

The entire world is full of GOD. We should visualize GOD in every creature. Shri Tulsidasji has written in Shri RamCharitManasji that he feels the entire world full of GOD. Saints have visualized GOD, the owner of the world, in the world. Shri Prahladji visualized GOD in a pillar and GOD appeared from the pillar. GOD resides in all material and conscious things.

GOD says that who does not believe this and only visualizes GOD in the idol, it is as if he is doing havan (a religious ritual in front of the fire) in ash.

Therefore, we should feel GOD everywhere, then only we should believe that our devotion is proven.

GOD says that we should perform religious rituals and idol worship till then until the creature starts visualizing GOD in his own heart and in every creature.

The purpose of religion and worship is that we should be able to visualize GOD in our heart and in every creature of this world. Saints have visualized GOD in material and conscious particle. The entire world is full of GOD and one abode of GOD is in our heart also. When these two things are proved, the devotee becomes blessed. So visualizing GOD in our conscience and in every creature must be our aim.

Human life is very rare, it is the opinion of all the Scriptures. Here, GOD Himself renders this fact that human life is the best. After taking birth in all enjoyment species we get birth in salvation species as a human. Therefore, we should utilize our human life in attaining GOD by undertaking devotion.

GOD says that the plants hold fruits, flowers and medicine timely because of fear of GOD. Because of the majesty of GOD rivers flow and the ocean remains in its limit. Because of GOD’s fear, fire lightens up and the mountains and earth do not sink in the water.

The basic thing is that everything is in the control of GOD and all things are managed by GOD.
