TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to King Shri Prathuji.
GOD says that King Shri Prathuji has devotion for GOD in his heart, which is a very fortunate thing. King Shri Prathuji’s mind is attached to GOD and because of that he is naturally free from the bondage of illusion otherwise it is very difficult to be free from the bondage of illusion.
Here GOD renders a principle that a creature can be free from illusion only on the strength of GOD’s devotion. Otherwise, illusion always clutches everyone in its bondage. It is impossible to be free from illusion without devotion. Therefore, a creature should give the supreme place to devotion in his life because of which he can be free from illusion forever.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The highest place in life must be accorded to the devotion which in turn frees us from the bondage of illusion.

CH 22
VS 25 |
TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Sanatkumarji said the above words to King Shri Prathuji.
To describe the divine qualities of GOD repeatedly is a pleasure-giving process for the ears of the devotees. By repeatedly describing the divine qualities of GOD, the emotions of devotion increases inside us. When emotions for devotion are increased, reclusion from this world is generated. As a result, we spontaneously start loving GOD.
The Scriptures have given great importance to the praise of GOD. The biggest benefit of praising GOD is that it germinates the seed of devotion inside us. Therefore, we should develop a habit of listening, reading and singing the praise of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should make a habit to listen, read and sing the praise of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Sanatkumarji said the above words to King Shri Prathuji.
In this verse, the importance of surrendering to GOD is elaborated. There are several means to cross this worldly ocean, but they all are difficult and therefore it is very difficult to cross this worldly ocean through them. It is because GOD is not there at the root of those means and so they are not sheltered by GOD.
But those who cross this worldly ocean by holding the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, easily cross it. Therefore, to cross this worldly ocean, we should only accept the shelter of GOD. As soon as we take the shelter of GOD, GOD automatically takes the responsibility of taking us across the worldly ocean.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should take the shelter of GOD to cross the worldly ocean.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - King Shri Prathuji performed all those tasks in life for which he was born. At last when he got aged, he became cautious. He started working for his last manhood salvation.
The point to be noted here is that our last manhood is to attain salvation but we do not strive for this till the last stage of life. We forget our aim and keep ourselves busy in worldly activities. We keep ourselves engaged in wealth, sons and grandsons and in worldliness etc.
After a certain stage, we should leave everything and start undertaking the devotion of GOD to achieve salvation.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should engage ourselves in the devotion of GOD to achieve salvation which is the ultimate manhood.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - In his later stage, King Shri Prathuji left his kingdom and went to a forest where he performed excellent religious austerity. His religious austerity became so strong that all ill-effects of his deeds were destroyed and his mind was completely purified.
The devotion which is performed even in later stages of our life destroys the ill-effects of our deeds and purifies our mind resulting in our salvation. Therefore, after a certain stage in life if one becomes detached from the world and mind is engaged in devotion of GOD then it is the best achievement.
But we keep ourselves engaged in family, business till the end and keep performing the deeds just opposite to the purpose of human life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The best human achievement is when we undertake devotion of GOD, which is the ultimate aim of human life.

When we completely devote ourselves to GOD and undertake the means and move ahead following the virtue faithfully, then we receive the unique devotion of GOD.
Therefore, a creature should make efforts in this direction so that he can achieve the unique devotion of GOD. To achieve the devotion of GOD should be the aim of life and he should try in this direction by putting all his potential efforts so that he can achieve the devotion of GOD in this life itself.

After getting this human life one who is indulged in worldly pursuits, he is only doing a suicidal act. That creature is deceived by illusion.
Therefore, after achieving human life we should undertake the most important thing which is the devotion that will lead us towards salvation. After achieving human life we should not indulge only in worldly pursuits because these worldly pursuits will lead us towards our downfall and become a barrier in fulfilling the aim of our human life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - The creature is self-luminous but till he does not realize the nature of GOD, he remains bound by the qualities of nature. Since he is unaware of GOD he is engaged in performing various worldly deeds and by thinking about the desires he is engaged in the bondage of deeds as a result of which he takes birth in different species.
The creature should be aware of GOD so that he can escape from the bondage of deeds. GOD is supreme master and is in soul form and we should compulsorily know about His form so that we do not come in bondage.
Therefore, being self-luminous, a creature should be aware of GOD and he should never forget GOD.

- We should be aware of GOD so that we are not trapped in the bondage of deeds.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji said the above words to King Shri Prachin Barhiji.
Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji says that only that is the deed by which we can please GOD. We perform various types of deeds by living in this world. But spiritually these worldly deeds have no special significance. Because according to the Scriptures, only those deeds should be accepted which are performed to please GOD. Even Scriptures have assumed knowledge to be one by which our mind gets engaged in GOD. Other worldly knowledge has not been given much importance in spiritualism.
Therefore, a creature must perform devotional deeds so that GOD is pleased and must imbibe spiritual knowledge so that his mind is engaged in GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- All our deeds must be to please GOD.

This world is created by illusion so everything in this world is unreal. Because of ignorance, a creature regularly thinks about these unreal things of this false world. So the cycle of birth and death of a creature continuously goes on and he cannot get rid of this world of birth and death.
We should only contemplate about GOD, not about the false worldly things. With the contemplation of GOD we will become free from the cycle of birth and death forever. Therefore, a creature should leave thinking about false worldly things and start contemplating only about GOD so that he can be free from the cycle of birth and death.
