TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD says that the creatures who does injustice in fulfilling the needs of the family, has to suffer its result in hell. He gets a torture body and has to bear the uncountable sufferings of hell. Whatever wrongdoings he has done on the earth, he avails their negative result as sufferings in hell.
Sufferings of hell make him so distraught that as if everything was robbed of him. His body, wife, son, house, animals, wealth, brothers, no one comes there to rescue him.
The only way to avoid this is devotion of GOD because the true devotee does not have a vision of hell, as he directly goes to the dwelling of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The easiest way to escape from the torture of hell is by undertaking the devotion of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD says that after suffering all the hells and all the tortures due to the sins we have committed in our earlier births and after taking birth in 8.4 million species including birth in dog and pig species, we finally get the human life. After bearing several hells and sufferings of various species we become pure and get birth in the human species.
GOD has pointed towards this fact here that human life is so rare. Therefore, we should never waste this human life and must utilize this by undertaking devotion towards GOD.
Devotees who undertake true devotion never bear the sufferings of hell nor they have to take rebirth. Therefore, GOD’s devotion is supreme and we should ideally undertake it in our life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD’s devotion is supreme and we must undertake it for the success of our human life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji has elaborated the condition of a creature in the womb, who prays to GOD to free him from the womb.
The creature remains lying in the pit of excreta and urine in the mother's womb. Their hungry worms claw him. The touch of bitter, pungent, hot, salty and sour food material eaten by her mother gives him pain. His neck and back are curved in an annular shape. He stays like a bird caught in a cage and even he is unable to move his organs. He suffocates and frighteningly pleads to GOD for showering mercy and letting him free from the womb.
He takes the shelter of GOD and promises to be in the shelter of GOD for the rest of his life. Then GOD mercifully frees him from the womb of a mother. After coming out he forgets GOD and gets entangled in the illusion.
We should remember our prayer done in the womb and should dedicate our life to GOD's service.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must remember our terrible state in the mother’s womb and our prayer to GOD to set us free from it and must remember the mercy of GOD of setting us free from the womb by giving birth.

Then he leaves his distraught and establishes his heart in GOD’s Divine Lotus Feet and also takes an oath to engage his mind in GOD so that he can cross the worldly ocean and even if he is full of flaws he should never have to return again to this worldly ocean.
The creature in the womb remembers his deeds of past hundreds of births and bearing the torture of the womb, decides to dedicate his heart and mind to GOD and comes out of the womb.
Therefore, after coming out of the womb, we should dedicate our heart and mind to GOD, then only our salvation is possible.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji gave the above preach to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD says that the creature runs behind his body, he makes several efforts for his body. The same body gives him several tortures in old age. But due to lack of knowledge and bondage of deeds, the creature remains behind the body.
The creature performs several deeds for the nutrition of the body and comes in the bondage of deeds. Because of that deed bondage, he has to fall in the cycle of birth and death. In this way, he rotates in the worldly cycle.
We should not run behind our body but should devote ourselves to GOD by devotion, then only we will be able to free from this worldly cycle by breaking all the bondages.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Our weightage in life should not be for our body but for GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above facts to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD says that see the power of my illusion in female form who crushes even mighty heroes under her feet. There is no other person other than GOD, whose mind is not fascinated by illusion.
Menka fascinated Sage Shri Vishwamitraji who was performing austerity and broke his austerity. Queen Kaikeyi fascinated the world winner, supreme religious and knowledgeable King Shri Dashrathji and because of the two wishes sought by her, Shri Ayodhyaji faced turmoil.
Eroticism is very powerful and it remains under control by living in the contiguity of GOD by devotion. Those who are blessed by GOD are only free from this desire.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Victory over desires is only possible when we surrender to GOD with devotion.

GOD says that those who fulfill their worldly duties and are fascinated by different types of desires and worship Deities and ancestors, after death, they go to their dwellings and return to this world after their virtues are diminished.
But those who do not indulge in luxuries and perform deeds for the happiness of GOD, their heart becomes pure and in the end, they attain GOD, who is the controller and cause of this world and who originates, maintains and destroys this world.
Therefore, the ultimate goal of a creature should be attainmnet of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD renders two facts here. Firstly, GOD says that we should go to the shelter of GOD by devotion. To achieve the shelter of GOD by devotion should be our aim of life. GOD has directly said to go into the shelter of GOD with full devotion.
Secondly, GOD says that GOD resides in the heart of every creature, which is His permanent temple. GOD is inhabited in every living and non-living thing. In every creature's heart, GOD definitely resides. So the saints have asked to be introverted while searching for GOD because GOD resides in our conscience.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should attain the shelter of GOD in life.
- GOD resides inside every creature.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Kapilji said the above words to Bhagwati Devhuti Mata.
GOD says that those people who run behind wealth, religion and desires, they spend their life only for that purpose. They are deprived from the narration of GOD who is Almighty and destroyer of all fears and whose glory is most worthy of chanting.
We have received this human life for contemplation, chanting and praising GOD. If we will use this in only earning money, performing religion, and fulfilling desires, then it is not its best utilization. Whatever we earn will not go with us, by performing religion, we can avail heaven for a small period but after some time we have to return again to this world and by making efforts to fulfill desires we will never be able to satisfy all our desires.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Human life is received for contemplating GOD and chanting the glory of GOD.

What one should do is to listen to the narration of GOD. It is expected from us to listen to GOD’s narration. But instead of it, we take interest only in worldly talks.
True fortunate people are those who listen to the narration of GOD and misfortunate are those who are engaged in worldly talks.

Therefore, we should undertake devotion in life without any delay.

Those who listen and chant the name of GOD, attain the supreme position. If anyone remembers or worships GOD even by stray, then also he becomes adorable.
Taking GOD’s name by any means blisses people. Kans and Ravana took the GOD’s name by enmity, Ajamilji took the GOD’s name to call his son and Sage Shri Valmikiji took the GOD’s name in the reverse form and GOD’s name blessed them all.
Taking GOD’s name by any means will bless people, it is a mandatory truth.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Bhagwati Devhuti Mata said the above words while praising GOD Shree Kapilji.
A chandal (pariah) who is considered to be the lowest in the caste, even if he takes the name of GOD he becomes best. Then, if those people who took birth in the superior caste if they utter the name of GOD then it is as if they have done everything i.e. tenacity, veneration, pilgrim bath, following virtues, reading Vedas, etc. By taking the name of GOD they achieve the result of everything.
Saints and Scriptures have insisted that we should continuously utter the name of GOD from our mouth.
We should make a habit of chanting the name of GOD in our life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Chanting the name of GOD leads us to the supreme position in life.

Sage Shri Atriji sprawled like a stick on the earth and greeted GOD and worshiped GOD by taking the worship material in his hand.
Then it appeared as if mercy showered from the eyes of all the three GOD's. GOD’s divine eyes always shower mercy. GOD blesses us without any reason, this is the nature of GOD. Whoever saint has visualized GOD, they have experienced the mercy of GOD. Therefore saints call GOD as merciful.
GOD is the ocean of mercy, this is the experience of all the saints.

One notable thing here is that a special adjective is used for GOD Shree Mahadevji.
It is said that GOD lets us free from the cycle of birth and rebirth. It is an eternal truth that none other than GOD can free man from the cycle of birth and rebirth. The creature is engaged in the cycle of birth and death and wanders in various species. Only GOD is able to let him free from the cycle of birth and death forever.
Those who have achieved freedom from the cycle of birth and death have received it only because of GOD’s mercy.

GOD Shree Brahmaji says that GOD Shree Shankarji is merciful and gets pleased very soon. Therefore, with a pure heart, we must hold His Divine Lotus Feet and must try to please Him.
The point to be noted is that GOD gets pleased very quickly if we admit to our mistakes from the bottom of our heart. Once we accept our mistake GOD forgives us immediately, this is the nature of GOD.
Therefore, even if we commit some mistake it should be our endeavor that we must seek forgiveness with a sincere heart and must pledge not to repeat that mistake in the future, then GOD immediately forgives us.

It is worth noting that the importance of divine preaching is revealed here. GOD, Himself, preaches divine teachings to saints and gives them the benefit of it. GOD wants to demonstrate here that daily Satsang should be done.
Those who engage themselves in daily Satsang make their human life successful and take the real benefit of human life. All our sages and saints have always engaged themselves in divine preaching and Satsang.
We should also make our human life successful by discussing Brahma in daily Satsang.

GOD gives heaven or salvation according to the ability of a person who performs good deeds and sends the soul to various types of hell who performs sins.
So a creature should always try to perform good deeds in life. We should take care that good deeds must be performed by us.
Special care should also be taken that we do not commit sinful deeds. In ShriGarud Puranji various types of hells are described that how many types of hells are there and on performing which sin which hell and which torture a creature has to face.
Therefore, a creature should stay away from sinful deeds and should try to perform good deeds in life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Brahmaji said the above words to GOD Shree Shivji.
In this small sentence, a very big thing is rendered. GOD is situated at the root of everyone, it must be understood. At the root of every living and non-living thing, GOD is there. There is nothing in this world other than GOD. Therefore, the saints have seen the entire world as full of GOD. GOD is in every particle, this is the point of view of Sanatan religion.
When we will start visualizing GOD situated at the root of everyone, then only our true welfare will happen. This attitude can only come in life by devotion. Therefore, we should undertake devotion in our life so that we can experience GOD in every particle and this principle that GOD is at the root of everyone should be firm in our life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD is at the root of everything and with devotion, we can visualize GOD everywhere.
