For those who take the shelter of GOD, their welfare is inevitable. It is an eternal principle that for those who take the shelter of GOD their welfare is certain.

GOD, Himself safeguards His devotees. No one can defeat the person who is in the shelter of GOD.
Therefore, a creature should take the shelter of GOD and accept His shelter so that his welfare becomes certain.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Vritrasur said the above words to the King of Deities Shri Indraji.
When the war between Deities and demons was about to happen, GOD blessed Deities and suggested them to fight with a weapon created from the bones of Sage Shri Dadhichiji. Vritrasur was aware of this fact, so he said to King of Deities Shri Indraji that in whoever favor GOD ShreeHari will stand, the victory, wealth and all virtues will reside in that side. It is an eternal principle and the war of Mahabharata is also a live example of this. GOD was in favor of Pandavas and in opposition there were many powerful fighters and a much bigger army than Pandavas but Pandavas got the victory.
In whichever side GOD is there, the victory, wealth and all virtues automatically appear on that side.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- In whoever favor there is GOD, victory, wealth and virtues will lie in his favor.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Vritrasur prayed the above while visualizing GOD directly on the battlefield.
Our mind should continuously remember the auspicious virtues of GOD. This is a very higher stage of mind that instead of engaging in worldly matters, it remembers GOD’s auspicious virtues. Our voice should sing the praise of GOD’s auspicious virtues. Only that voice is blessed which sings the praise of GOD’s auspicious virtues. Our body should be engaged in the service of GOD. The body which is engaged in GOD's service is blessed.
Therefore, a creature should engage his mind in remembering GOD's auspicious qualities, sing the glory of GOD from his voice and serve GOD from his body.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should remember and sing the glory of GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Vritrasur prayed the above while visualizing GOD directly on the battlefield.
Though Vritrasur is a demon still the way he prays to GOD is very touching. Vritrasur says that apart from GOD, he does not want the rule of heaven or Bramhalok (the dwelling of GOD Shree Brahmaji). He does want the empire of the entire earth or the monopoly kingdom of the underworld other than GOD. Other than GOD, he does not want any of the siddhi from the various siddhis that can be achieved from yog. Moreover, except GOD, he does not even want salvation. He wants only and only GOD. This feeling is very rare in the life of a devotee but it is a sign of true devotion.
Therefore, a creature should undertake selfless devotion and should not desire or ask anything from GOD other than GOD.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- A true devotee seeks only GOD from GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - Vritrasur prayed the above while visualizing GOD directly on the battlefield.
Vritrasur says that as the wingless cubs of bird who does not know how to fly await for their mother very impatiently in their nest, similarly, he is also waiting impatiently for GOD. Vritrasur gives a second example that as hungry calves are eager to drink the milk of their mother, similarly, Vritrasur is also eager to view GOD. Vritrasur gives the third example that as an isolated wife awaits to meet a migrant husband, similarly, Vritrasur is also awaiting to meet GOD.
To achieve the contiguity of GOD there should be such yearning inside us then only it is possible to meet GOD in life.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should have a yearn to seek GOD in our life.

Vritrasur says that he does not want any kind of relationship with those people who are engaged in body, wife, son, etc., because of subjugation of illusion. It is an eternal principle that whoever’s company we do keep we also become like them. So we should keep precaution that we should only keep the company of those people who live in company of GOD.

GOD controls everyone. Like a puppet is in the control of its controller, similarly, every creature is in the control of GOD. The controller controls the puppet and makes it dance in the way he wants. Similarly, as GOD wants, this world reacts in the same way.
All the creatures of this world are in the control of GOD. GOD's dominance is universal. All the creatures of this world have to accept the authority of GOD. No one is free in this world. All are under the control of GOD.

Vritrasur's feeling towards GOD was extraordinary. He had uniquely devoted himself to GOD. Because of his devotion towards GOD, he had crossed the illusion of GOD so he was truly a great man. Vritrasur had loving devotion in the Divine Lotus Feet of GOD, the owner of supreme welfare. So he had no interest in worldly pleasures. Like a person dwelt in the ocean of nectar has no concern with water filled in a pit, similarly, Vritrasur who was engaged in devotion has no concern with worldly pleasures.
A creature should also detach from worldly pleasure and move forward on the path of devotion then only his welfare will be ensured.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - King Shri Parikshitji asked the above question to GOD Shri Shukdevji.
Persons who seek salvation in this world are rare. Among the thousands of people who seek salvation, there is only a rare one who gets salvation or accomplishment. But even among billions of those who got salvation or accomplishment, it is very difficult to find a calm-minded great man who is only devoted to GOD.
It is very difficult to find a true devotee. The place of devotion is much higher than salvation and accomplishment. GOD easily gives salvation and accomplishment but it is very difficult to achieve devotion. Therefore, a creature should proceed on the path of devotion and make his birth successful.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- To make our human life successful we must progress on the path of devotion.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to King Shri Chitraketuji after his prayer.
The individual soul is part of GOD. But the creature forgets the form of GOD and consider that he is different from GOD. Then only he gets engaged in worldly things and he attains births after births and deaths after deaths.
We should never forget that we are part of GOD. A part is never different from the whole. When we see ourselves connected with GOD then we become free from this worldly ocean. But when we consider ourselves different from GOD then we get trapped in worldly things and are trapped in the cycle of birth and death. Therefore, a creature should connect himself with GOD then only his salvation is possible.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We should be able to connect ourselves with GOD.

TRANSLATION OF WRITE-UP IN ENGLISH - GOD said the above words to King Shri Chitraketuji after his prayer.
In the human species, GOD has given intelligence and knowledge to humans. Those who are unable to know their self-image of GOD even after getting human birth, can never get peace in any species. We have got human birth for the union of "individual soul" with "Universal Soul". Those who do not try in this direction even after getting the human life, have to wander in various species and even there they do not get peace.
Therefore, a creature should try to identify GOD after taking birth as human and should try to attain GOD by devotion.
GIST FOR ALL RELIGIONS
- We must try to identify and attain GOD after taking birth as a human.
