TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to Shri Prachetas.
GOD says that those who offer their deeds to GOD and whose time is spent in listening and discussing GOD’s narrations, such people even leading a worldly life do not get trapped in the bondage of deeds.
All our deeds must be offered to GOD. This is the easiest way to escape from the bondage of deeds. Secondly, our routine should be such that our time is spent in listening to GOD’s narration and discussing about GOD. The saints do the same. Leading a worldly life, whoever is able to do so does not get trapped in the bondage of deeds. Therefore a creature must surrender his deeds to GOD and spend his time in GOD’s narration and discussion about GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Deeds surrendered to GOD do not trap us in the bondage of deeds.
- With devotion, we must listen to GOD's pastimes and make a habit to discuss about GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Prachetas said the above words to GOD.
GOD shows the way of salvation and is the provider of salvation. The last manhood of human life is considered to be salvation. We achieve salvation only by GOD's grace.
The happiness of GOD is the goal of the devotee’s life. Devotees do not have any other desire other than the happiness of GOD. GOD should be happy with us, this is the only wish of the devotees. GOD should be happy with us, this is the only boon which they ask from GOD. Nothing is left achievable in this world after the happiness of GOD. A true devotee continuously tries for the happiness of GOD during his lifetime. His only goal is the happiness of GOD and he puts his entire life at stake to achieve this goal.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- The happiness of GOD is the ultimate aim of a devotee.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Prachetas said the above words to GOD.
Shri Prachetas asked from GOD that until a creature is enticed by the illusion and he wanders in this world as per his deeds, till then he should get Holy discourse (Satsang) of GOD. The Holy discourse of GOD by GOD's devotees frees us from all types of bondages.
For a single moment of Holy discourse, heaven and salvation are nothing for the devotees, then human desires are trivial in these regards. In the society of devotees, there are fascinating narrations of GOD daily and only by listening to them, our heart becomes pure. To sing the glory in the context of GOD's narration repeatedly without any expectation is the only shelter of devotees.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Singing the glory of GOD frees us from all types of bondages.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Shri Prachetas said the above words to GOD.
No one can surpass the glory of GOD. King Shri Manuji, GOD Shree Brahmaji, Deity of Deities GOD Shree Mahadevji and all other persons who have become purified by tenacity and wisdom, they all continuously praise GOD. Shri Prachetas said that like other pure-minded men continuously praise GOD, similarly, they also sing the glory of GOD as per their intelligence.
The creature should regularly praise GOD as per his intelligence. GOD gets pleased by praise. In Shrimad Bhagwatji Mahapuran, Shri RamCharitManasji and in other Holy Puranas, we can read the praise of GOD sung by sages, Deities and devotees. Whichever praise is dear to us, we should select it and regularly sing that praise in the morning and evening in front of GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should regularly sing the glory and praise of GOD.

The means by which GOD cannot be attained, that means is of no use. The objective of all means is to attain GOD. Means are performed only to attain GOD. Those means by which we cannot attain GOD are not worthwhile.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji said the above words to Shri Prachetas.
As soon as GOD is satisfied the whole world is satisfied. Just as by irrigating the root of the tree, its trunk, branch, sub-branch, etc., all get nourishment and just as by taking food our all the senses are satisfied, similarly, by worshiping GOD everyone is worshiped.
After satisfying GOD by worship, there is no need to satisfy anyone else. So a creature should concentrate his mind on the worship of GOD and should satisfy Him by his service. There is no need to try for individual satisfaction because satisfaction of GOD is the satisfaction of the world.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- When we satisfy GOD we satisfy everyone.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji said the above words to Shri Prachetas.
Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji has given three clues by which GOD will be pleased on creatures. When we consider the world as Godly and show mercy towards creatures, then it pleases GOD. When we consider satisfaction as wealth and are satisfied with whatever we get then it pleases GOD. When we pacify all our senses by removing them from worldly desires then it pleases GOD.
So a creature should have mercy on all creatures, be satisfied with whatever he gets and divert his senses from desires and engage them in GOD. To engage the senses in GOD and removing them from desires is a form of devotion, which pleases GOD very quickly.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should lead all our senses towards GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji said the above words to Shri Prachetas.
Saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji says that when a creature gets rid from all his desires then his conscience becomes pure. With such a pure conscience, there is constant contemplation of GOD, due to which GOD is attracted towards him and GOD starts residing in his conscience. By fulfilling the devotion GOD never leaves his conscience again.
When GOD catches a creature by looking at his purified conscience and devotion, then he never leaves him. Saint says that GOD knows only to catch, not to leave. Therefore, a creature should purify his conscience and awaken the feeling of devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- With a purified conscience devotion comes into our life, which in turn brings GOD into our life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD Shree Brahmaji said the above words to Shri Priyavrat.
No bodily creature can avoid the legislation of GOD. GOD's legislation cannot be avoided by austerity, or by knowledge, or by the power of yog, or by the power of the mind. GOD's legislation cannot be avoided by the power of wealth or the power of religion. GOD's legislation cannot be avoided by oneself or with the help of someone else.
This principle is rendered in Shri RamCharitManasji along with Shrimad Bhagwatji Mahapuran. In Shri RamCharitManasji it is clearly written "It only so happens, what GOD has planned". GOD's legislation is final and it is amended only by the grace of GOD, else it is not possible for anyone to overcome it.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD’s legislation is final and cannot be amended by anyone except GOD.

We have to gladly accept in whichever species GOD puts us in according to our qualities and deeds. We have to bear all that happiness and grief which GOD has arranged for us in that species. We have to obey the wish of GOD just as a blind man obeys the instructions of a person with an eye.
GOD's entity is universal and a creature has to move according to GOD's legislation. The Creature is bound to accept the entity and legislation of GOD because he does not have his own existence.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - There were ten sons of King Shri Priyavratji, out of which three became Naishthik Brahmacharis (conformist celibate).
All three of them accepted renunciation. They continually contemplated the supremely beautiful Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, who gave shelter to people who were afraid of worldly bondage.
Because of this reason they got unbroken and supreme devotion which purified their conscience and GOD emerged into it. Devotion is best because it purifies our conscience and reveals GOD inside us.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Devotion purifies our heart and lets GOD emerge inside us.

Even if a man of low caste like Chandala etc., who is outcasted from the caste, utters the name of GOD, then he too becomes free from the bondage of the world.
The name of GOD is so glorified that it even purifies the decadents. Our holy Scriptures are filled with the narrations of salvation of decadents. Therefore, a person should take the shelter of the name of GOD, no matter how much decadent he is. Only by doing so, his salvation is possible.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- Even decadents are glorified by the utterance of GOD’s name.

Then he cursed himself and said many bad words to himself. Then by GOD's grace, his conscience was awakened again.
He distributed his kingdom into his sons, left his entire wealth and adopted reclusion and started following the path shown by the saint of Deities GOD Shri Naradji by remembering the pastimes of GOD. If we are struck in desires, then we should pray to GOD to please awaken our inner sense, so that we can turn towards GOD.

Singing the glory of GOD definitely ends our adversity. Therefore, the legislation of singing the glory of GOD is predominant in all religions.
Therefore, the creature should sing the glory of GOD as much as possible. Saints have composed so many prayers, so many mantras (psalms), so many hymns for singing the glory of GOD for the welfare of people. We should please GOD by taking shelter of them.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - At every state, we should remember GOD and should utter the name of GOD. In the verse, the same boon has been asked from GOD that a creature should never forget GOD in any state and he should be able to take the name of GOD.
We should never forget GOD in our daily routine and should chant the GOD's name in our mind. Saints do so and finally, they attain that state in which in each of their breath GOD's name is chanted automatically. It is a higher state but we can reach there by constant efforts.
Therefore, a creature should remember GOD every time and inculcate the habit of chanting the name of GOD in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should always remember GOD and chant GOD’s name regularly in life.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD performs great tasks of a devotee. If a devotee keeps GOD in front, then GOD takes the responsibility of performing all his great works.
On taking the shelter of GOD, GOD performs the greatest works of that devotee. Like a worldly father takes care of his son and does his work as his own work, similarly, GOD performs the work of a devotee as His own work.
Therefore, a creature should take the shelter of GOD in life, so that GOD takes the responsibility of doing the biggest of his works. There is a live example of great devotee Shri Narsi Mehtaji whose work was performed by GOD and GOD Himself came to fulfill Nani Bai's Mayra (A Hindu ritual in which maternal uncle gives the gift in the marriage).
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- GOD takes the responsibility to perform all the great tasks of a devotee.

GOD says that those devotees who consider love towards GOD as the only manhood, such devotees are very dear to Him. We have not got this human life for material enjoyment because in animal species animals also enjoy this material enjoyment.
So after taking human birth whoever has no interest in such material enjoyments, who performs worldly works only for the subsistence of the body, such a devotee is considered by GOD to be the best. Therefore, a creature should love GOD and undertake devotion of GOD, which is the biggest manhood of human life, so that GOD can be pleased.
